Chapter 24 Two difficult tasks at the same time
Autumn in Taiyuan came earlier than our hometown of Linfen, and after a few continuous drizzles, everything was washed more and more golden, and even the scorching sun at the end of summer became yellow. I don't like autumn, because it's a season of melancholy for melancholy, a season that makes everything in the world wither, and it's going to bring everything to the lifeless white winter. Standing in the satellite launch site, looking at a large flat river in the distance, the verdant fields in the past have now added a little bit of yellow, and the cool breeze blows, taking away the scorching heat of the sun that still refuses to admit defeat. I put away the "short sword" semi-automatic assault rifle and asked Leader Song: "Leader, we were going to the workshop of the space capsule, can you go with us to have a look?" You are always an expert, so you can explain it to us." Leader Song asked us to pack up our rifles while coping with it and said, "Where am I an expert?" I'm just a designer, the kind of ...... that talks on paper." "Hey! Leadership. Big Yellow Fang shouted on the side: "We really lack the procedure of "talking on paper" now, if you don't explain it to us now, it will be so difficult to wait until we go to Titan to explain it to us!" ”
Colonel Tariq and Luo Xiaoming also chimed in and said, "That's it, leader, you can go with us!" Leader Song seemed to be a little reluctant, but we could all see that Leader Song was not unwilling to go to the capsule workshop with us, but he didn't want to accompany us through this last time to war and death in this final stage. But our well-trained special forces who have been marching for many years are different, our duty is to defend peace and defend the motherland to the death, and we have excellent psychological quality to face death, so when we have not yet faced death, we still have the heart to laugh and laugh with Leader Song. In the capsule workshop, I don't know what kind of feeling I feel at this time, but when I face the Long March carrier rocket and its capsule that will carry us to the vast space in front of me, I always have no mood to look at these things, probably because of the great pressure in my heart at this time. It's nothing more than that, as soon as I think of the next step to carry out this uncertain and difficult task, how can there be no psychological pressure, in short, the mission failure is death, and if you win, you will die if you can't come back on Titan, so now this space capsule is technically unpassable, safe or unsafe, and it is no longer important in my heart. Thinking of this, I habitually walked to a corner far away from people, closed my eyes, and made a short prayer, hoping that God would be with my family and that they would be safe and happy. Thinking of my family, I haven't seen them for more than nine years, and my wife and Aunt Liu, I don't know how they are doing now, because I have traveled four years to this world after all. Shen Guojian's voice sounded behind him: "I really didn't expect that Lieutenant Liu, you are a military strategist with a special hobby of science and technology!" I opened my eyes and turned around, first looking at Shen Guojian behind me, and then turning around to look at the thing in front of me, and suddenly something in front of me made my eyes suddenly brighten - I saw that on the tarmac in the distance outside the window, there was a diamond-shaped behemoth with a length of 60 meters, this behemoth was nothing else, it was the "Peace" super fighter that carried me and Big Yellow Fang through four years of time and space to the present world. I haven't seen the "Peace" fighter for a long time, and in these days without it, we have deeply realized that in the actual combat confrontation with the powerful alien life, because there is no strategic-level high-precision technology weapon, it is simply difficult to control the war situation, so now when I see the Mir super fighter, I can't help but feel a sense of intimacy in my heart. I expected that Shen Guojian himself had only heard of the mysterious name "Peace", and as for whether he had seen it, I think it was definitely the first time now. I said to Shen Guojian disdainfully: "Maybe you don't know, right? This Mir Super Fighter was brought to the world by me and Chief of Staff Huang personally through four years of time and space, and none of you here know more about the Mir Super Fighter than I do......" Big Yellow Tooth heard me mention his name when I was talking about the Mir fighter, so he interjected without saying anything: "Yes, yes! The Mir Super Fighter is our life! What does it mean to be inseparable? As long as we are on the battlefield, there will definitely be a Mir fighter! There's an old saying, what's it? : The "machine" is in the people, and the "machine" destroys the people! ......" The big yellow tooth patted Shen Guojian's shoulder and slammed hard, and his spittle stars had already splashed a lot on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, and no one except Shen Guojian paid attention to his wide field at this time. However, Big Yellow Fang's casual question made all of us stunned on the spot, "I said, Leader Song, how do I feel that this space capsule in the workshop does not match the 'Peace' fighter?" ”
I was also puzzled at the time, so like everyone else, I first turned around and looked back at the cone-shaped capsule in the workshop, and then turned to look out the window at the Mir Super Fighter. I saw that the Mir outside the tarmac was no different from the past, and the silver-gray fuselage near the cockpit was close to the two big red letters "peace" in the golden autumn scenery. "Oh! Isn't this capsule going to be hung on the outside of the fuselage? "Colonel Tariq has never flown in a Mir super fighter, and for the Mir super fighter, Colonel Tariq, like Shen Guojian, has only heard of it, but has not come into contact with it.
Hearing Colonel Tariq's sarcastic question, the people present finally couldn't help it, so everyone gathered around Song Fumin's leader and asked vigorously: "Leader, can you explain to us for a while?" How are we going to get up to Titan? "Yes, yes! We can't make it to the battlefield alive! We need safety standards! "How are we going to get back to Titan? There's no return capsule at all, right? Everyone was asking around Song Leader, I seemed to have felt that some of them seemed to be angry in their attitudes, but I can't blame the comrades for their bad tone, after all, these battle-hardened warriors are desperate to sacrifice themselves for peace, but now the combat logistics can not be perfect for them in terms of safety, which really sounds chilling! But then I thought about it: nothing is absolute, there are always two sides to it. So I stretched out my hands and pressed the crowd and shouted, "Comrades! It's best not to speculate now, our country's backing is strong, which is beyond the imagination of any of us, as for what our next tactics should be, we still have Song Leader to explain it to us! ”
The crowd finally quieted down, and everyone stood in place waiting for Song Leader to speak, but Song Leader only stood in place and coughed twice and put on a shelf, but did not say a word for a long time. I was extremely embarrassed by Leader Song at that time. Just when everyone couldn't help but be ready to ask, suddenly a hoarse but calm and powerful voice said: "These are two action plans at the same time, and you Song leaders don't know this!" ”
We all turned around and saw that it was none other than the old commander Zhang Bozhang who said this! The four of us who were soldiers immediately stood in a row under the voice of the oldest Colonel Tariq: "Salute", we saluted Commander Zhang Lao together, and Zhang Lao stepped forward to shake hands with Leader Song after returning the salute: "Xiao Song, these days are really hard for you!" "No hard work, no hard work! It is our honor to dedicate ourselves to the country! You're welcome! "I estimate that Leader Song himself is a person who rarely sees the world, because we can feel from his expression that he has definitely not seen a leader of such a large military rank as Commander Zhang, so for a while, he also looked very nervous and humble.
Shen Guojian was a calm and steady person, he didn't look nervous at all when he shook hands with Commander Zhang, but in the question between them, it seemed that they had met before, "Hello chief!" "Comrade Xiao Shen! You have made such a great contribution to our field of astronomy! Originally, you, a Sven cultural person, are now with them all day long, and you seem to be a bit of a soldier! Commander Zhang patted Shen Guojian's shoulder and said cordially. Leader Song interjected on the side: "Yes! Comrade Shen Guojian is such a cultural person, I didn't expect to go to the front line with this group of iron-blooded warriors now! ”
Zhang Lao's expression suddenly became serious, only to see him frowning and glancing at Leader Song, and then turned his gaze to us, and only after a long time did he resolutely say, "It's not like this!" Comrades, I just said that these are two tasks to be carried out at the same time, and Comrade Shen Guojian is not with you! ”
Big Yellow Fang, Colonel Tariq and Luo Xiaoming and I were stunned on the spot: What? Shall we go to Titan with four of us? Didn't you say you would have an astronomer for us? Why is there a second task now? Why don't we know? Could there be a more difficult task than ours? Clusters of questions lingered in our minds, so a few of us couldn't help but ask questions anymore. Zhang Lao was asked by us that his head was about to get bigger, and I saw that he kept stretching out his hands to press and press on us, signaling us to calm down. In the end, it was Leader Song's loud voice, and we finally quieted down after a few loud shouts like he spoke.
