Chapter 228: Bet (Second Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
With the consent of the Earth Space Fleet, the Endeavor spacecraft temporarily changed its mission plan and flew at full speed in the direction in which the coordinates appeared. More than a month later, the Advance spacecraft came to the location of the airspace where the coordinates were located and conducted a detailed search of this airspace, but the search found nothing.
"Captain, there's nothing out of the ordinary." Bruce reported to Ivan that the Advance spacecraft's space probe had been searching in this direction on the way to the coordinates, but all the results were exactly the same, and there were no anomalies in the airspace. In the past, there was a crew member who returned to Mars and continued the mission of assisting the Earth Alliance to establish a collection base on Mars, but this construction was vetoed by Ivan, and he still decided to go directly to this airspace to see it with his own eyes, as an ace astronaut and soldier, Ivan sometimes only believes in his own eyes.
Pursed his lips and didn't speak, Ivan's brows furrowed tightly, although the results of the qiÄ in front of him and the detector confirmed this, but Ivan still didn't believe that there would be no problem, not only the red dot coordinates they had detected before, but also because Ivan didn't want to believe it, that is, his intuition.
Speaking of which, it may be laughable, but some people would say that men also talk about intuition? Isn't intuition a woman's talent? But in fact, men do have intuition, Ivan's intuition has always been very accurate, whether it was when he first became an astronaut, or later as the captain of the Starry Sky to distant Pluto, in many cases he relied not only on rich experience, but also on intuition.
Many people lament the disappearance of the Hades spacecraft, but they also feel lucky for the Starry Sky that returned to Earth early and escaped. But no one knew that when the Starry Sky returned to Earth, Ivan had his intuition in addition to judgment, and his intuition told him that if the Starry Sky continued to entangle with the Hades like this, not only would it not play any role, but it would even usher in extreme danger.
Exactly. Ivan decided to return to Earth, thus narrowly avoiding the misfortune of encountering the Gaia civilization spaceship and returning to Earth safely. And now, his intuition told him that there must be something wrong with the red dot and the coordinates at the beginning, as for what the problem was. Ivan didn't feel in danger, only irritation and restlessness, and if he didn't understand what was going on in the airspace at that time, Ivan would not stop.
"General!"
As Ivan pondered how to find out the truth and prove his instincts, a voice sounded behind him.
"Hello, Doctor, what's the matter?" Turning around, there was a beautiful lady standing behind her. This lady is Dr. Elena, a scientist at the Earth Alliance headquarters, and she is also the scientific advisor of the Mars collection base.
And now, Dr. Elena's face is not very good, and there is a hint of warmth on her beautiful face.
"I would like to ask when we can continue our mission?"
"Doctor, I think you understand. Our report of the change was approved by the Earth Space Fleet and endorsed by the Earth Alliance. Follow the procedure. I hope you understand that the mission to the Mars Gathering Base will be delayed. Ivan replied blandly.
"Of course I do!" Dr. Elena raised her head slightly and looked into Ivan's eyes: "I am very clear about the change of plan, but I remember that there was another sentence at the end of the change plan, and that was the deadline for the execution of the mission to the Mars Gathering Base, Your Excellency. As the commander of the Advance, I think you should be aware of the existence of this sentence. ā
Ivan was slightly stunned, Elena was right, the Earth Alliance also made supplementary provisions while approving the change of this plan, and the time was indeed specified on it. And it's measured in time. They must return to Mars tomorrow at the latest, or the mission to the Martian collection base will be delayed.
But in this situation, it is almost impossible to get Ivan to give the order to return home, and Ivan immediately coldly rejected Elena's suggestion, and even told her very clearly that he would continue to negotiate with the Earth Alliance through the Earth Space Fleet until he found out what had happened in this airspace before carrying out the return mission.
Hearing this answer, Elena was angry no matter how good her temper was, and immediately argued with Ivan. The two, one is the supreme commander of the Advance, the general of the Earth Space Fleet. One is a senior advisor to the Mars acquisition mission and an important scientist of the Earth Alliance, their status can be said to be equal, and whether it is Ivan or Elena, in fact, their personalities are very stubborn people, in layman's terms, they eat soft and not hard tempers, so they will be noisy.
Seeing that his commander and Dr. Elena were arguing endlessly, Zheng Jian, Bruce, and other middle and senior officers, including some scientists on the ship, didn't know what to do, everyone looked at each other, and after reacting, they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade each other, and finally persuaded the two sides of their argument to dissuade each other.
"I'm going to report this to Earth Alliance headquarters, General! You are dereliction of duty! ā
"If I sail back, it will be a real dereliction of duty! I'm keeping the planet and people safe! ā
The separated parties are still arguing, Zheng Jian has no choice but to say good things with a smiling face, hoping that Elena can dissipate her anger. Maybe it was Zheng Jian's Chinese face, and Elena, who had a good relationship with Tang Wei, gave him some face, but he still insisted on the requirement that he must return in time.
"Doctor, our chief also has concerns, the problems that happened before have not been investigated, you see if this will work, give us a few more days, as long as we find out what happened, we will return immediately, and we will definitely not delay the mission of the Mars collection base."
Zheng Jian said good things for Ivan and begged Yelena for understanding. Elena still shook her head after hearing this, and she continued to insist on the request to return at the last time, which must not be compromised. Zheng Jian had no choice but to reason with her, and after talking for a long time, her saliva was about to run dry, but Elena still refused to change her mind, but she also asked Ivan what he was going to do in this airspace, she knew that there was a reason for the temporary change of the plan, but what was the reason because of the different division of labor between the two sides, Elena never paid attention to it.
It's not a big secret, not to mention that Elena's identity and rank also have the right to know, Zheng Jian, who was helpless, had no choice but to tell Elena, when she learned about the cause and effect, Elena thought about it, and walked towards Ivan.
"Doctor......."
"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with him again." Elena turned around and said, then came to the gloomy Ivan and asked directly: "The reason why you must stay here to search is to find out what is going on with the coordinates found by the space probe, isn't it?" ā
"yes, what does that have to do with you?" Ivan raised his eyelids and replied coldly.
"Of course it doesn't matter to me if it doesn't delay my mission, but now it does." Elena said-for-tat.
Ivan sneered and clasped his hands to his chest: "Doctor, I am the commander, and the decisions I make will not change ......." ā
Without waiting for him to finish, Elena said, "General, I didn't expect you to change your mind, but can I mention a Jianyi?" ā
Ivan was a little surprised, why did this woman talk so well all of a sudden? Tijian yƬ? Could it be that she couldn't get any other ideas? However, for a scientist like Elena, Ivan can refuse, but he can't ignore it, since she wants to mention it, then mention it, and it is not up to him to decide whether to accept it or not.
"If I can help you find out what's going on in this airspace, what should you do in return?"
Ivan was stunned for a moment, and he blurted out, "You're not kidding, are you?" ā
"I'm a scientist, not a braggart without morals, General, please respect my profession!" Elena's face changed suddenly.
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you." Ivan hurriedly apologized, and continued: "Doctor, if it is really like what you said, as soon as you find out what happened, I will immediately give the order to return." ā
"Good! General, we're up for it! Elena dropped the sentence and walked away without looking back. (To be continued......)
