Chapter 16: Who Killed Them
Yes, according to the last mission record, twenty years ago, the crew stationed at Cassini Station called for a rescue spaceship, the name of that spaceship was "Buran", which was a supply ship between Earth and Saturn, and the personnel stationed at Cassini Station were sent by this spaceship.
The crew of the "Hades" crew was not the second group to arrive at Cassini Station, but the third.
But Ge Zi and Mu Mu both knew that no one actually returned alive at Cassini Station back then, and the total destruction of Cassini Station was the most serious accident in the history of human space exploration, and more than a dozen people did not survive, which shows that the "Buran" spacecraft also crashed.
"Mumu, can you find out the whereabouts of the Buran?" Ge Zi asked, "Do you know where it is now?" ”
"Check? How do you check it now? Mu Mu shook his head, "The earth may not know the whereabouts of the Buran, at least the detailed investigation report has not been disclosed to the public, we only know that it crashed, but the environment on Titan is so complicated, who knows where it crashed?" I don't think it's too far from Cassini station, at least not too far from the shuttle, because they were close enough to Cassini station by then......"
Mu Mu's voice became lower the more she spoke, and gradually she began to wonder, frowned, and tapped her helmet lightly with her knuckles.
"Strange, strange, no, no...... This doesn't make sense! ”
"What's unreasonable?"
"Xiao Zi, you think, if the shuttle breaks down during landing and accidentally crashes, we can understand this, right, after all, the environment in this hellish place is so bad, anything can happen, but the Buran has no reason to be finished, it has been in orbit, hundreds of kilometers above the surface, what can it be affected by?" Mu Mu explained, "Could it be that the shuttle and the spaceship crashed at the same time? But this probability is too small, equivalent to two air crashes in the same place on the same day. ”
Ge Zi was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to what she meant.
"This shows that the shuttle did not crash on landing." Ge Zi said, "The shuttle landed safely. ”
"That's right." Mu Mu turned his head to look at Ge Zi, nodded slowly, both of them could see the surprise in each other's eyes, and the two faces looked pale under the light, "The shuttle has landed safely, not only has it landed safely, but the rescue team that arrived has also connected with Mo Yu, they must have brought Mo Yu on the spaceship!" ”
"The shuttle then returns to orbit, docks with Buran, and prepares to deorbit and return to Earth." Ge Zi followed Mu Mu's train of thought, imagining the situation at that time, she said word by word, "But at this moment, I don't know what happened inside the spaceship, the Buran began to get out of control, the altitude decreased sharply, and then plunged headlong into the atmosphere of Titan......
"What happened between the time the ship was on the ship and the time it crashed?" Mu Mu is very sharp.
Ge Zi shook his head violently.
"From the time Mo Yu was taken on the spaceship until the spacecraft crashed, there must have been some serious accident in between, serious enough to make a large spaceship completely crash, serious enough to make the Earth side decide that there could be no more living people on this spaceship, so that they gave up follow-up rescue." Mu Mu muttered, "What really happened on the Buran?" ”
Ge Zi was creepy.
What kind of accident can make the earth give up on rescue completely?
Ge Zi couldn't imagine that even if the "Buran" crashed due to an unknown failure, it would be impossible for the earth to give up the rescue, as long as one person might survive, then it would be worth spending the greatest effort to rescue.
This is the consensus of everyone today, the value of human life is above all else, and in this era, it is this consensus that supports the development of outer space in full swing.
There is only one possibility that the planet will abandon the rescue.
That is, the Earth confirms that there are no living people on board.
Ge Zi's brain was spinning rapidly, she sat on the cold floor with her knees crossed, her eyes fell on the frosty wrench at her feet, the tool room was silent, nothing could disturb her thinking, in the silence like deep water, she slowly cleared the messy clues, the logic meshed like a cog, Ge Zi's body began to chill, she felt that she was slowly sinking into the dark deep water, and at the same time as she sank, a terrible fact slowly surfaced.
Ge Zi himself was shocked why he came to such a conclusion.
Why can Earth confirm that there are no living people on board?
Because the Earth has not lost contact with the spacecraft.
Why hasn't contact been lost?
Because at that time the spacecraft had not yet crashed.
Once the "Buran" spacecraft crashes into the atmosphere, there is no doubt that it will cut off contact with the earth, once the contact is broken, then the earth will not be able to judge the situation inside the spacecraft, and the earth will inevitably send a second rescue team without knowing life and death, but in fact the second rescue team has not been sent - this means that the "Buran" spacecraft has died before it crashes into the atmosphere and completely loses contact with the earth.
Earth knows that there are no living people on board the ship.
So they gave up on the rescue.
Thinking further, not only did the Earth side know that there were no living people, they might even watch the people on the spaceship die one by one until they were completely wiped out.
That's why it's so secretive, it's not detailed, it's rarely talked about – it's horrible.
"Why?" Ge Zi subconsciously asked, "Why did all the people on it die before the spaceship crashed?" Why does Earth know that all the people on the spaceship are dead? ”
What kills everyone on a spaceship in a short period of time?
This kind of failure is almost non-existent, modern large long-range spacecraft have a strong enough structure, enough redundant safety design, and enough effective life-saving measures, just like the "Hades" prospecting ship, even if it has never designed a landing function, but it can still save the lives of the crew after an emergency landing, and the same is true for the "Buran" spacecraft, even if a grenade is detonated in the cargo hold of the spacecraft, it may not be able to wipe out the crew.
Mu Mu was startled and almost blurted out.
"Artificial."
The two were silent for a long time in the dark, and Mu Mu continued:
"Because it's man-made, there was a guy who killed the whole ship, and he not only killed everyone, but he also broadcast live to the earth the whole time."
Mu Mu's voice was cold and clear in the headphones, her voice was always so cold, she could peel off a buried fact to you in detail.
What kills everyone on a spaceship in a short period of time?
The answer is another person.
"Who is this man?" Ge Zi asked.
Mu Mu blinked, she and Ge Zi found the answer almost at the same time, they couldn't believe it, but this was the only possibility.
"Tacit?"
