Chapter 34: The Mountain
In the next six hours, Shi Teng and Liu Peijia threw out three batches of communication buoys again, a total of 12 buoys, and all the buoys thrown to the north without exception were lost.
Several people stood in front of the airlock door of Cassini Station and watched.
"What the hell is over there?" Stong muttered.
"Mountain." Zhuo Zhi said, "Look carefully, is there a mountain over there?" โ
Mountain?
Shi Teng Liu Peijia Daiyue narrowed his eyes, they gently tapped the mask with their fingers, the mask magnified the scene, at twenty times the magnification they still couldn't see what was in the distance, through the misty light brown fog, the whole world seemed to sink in quicksand, and the quicksand in the sky slowly poured down.
"Look closely." Zhuozhi stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Do you feel that the color of that piece is darker than the others?" If you look closely, you can see an undulating silhouette, like a ridge. โ
Liu Peijia was stunned for a moment, "Boss Zhuo, your eyesight is so good, you don't have a lens set in your eyes...... Oops, hey, hey, yes! I can see it when you say that! I rely on old Shi Daiyue, there is really a mountain over there! โ
Shi Teng frowned, Liu Peiqi leaned over and outlined the outline of the ridge with his fingers, and Shi Teng saw clearly that in the clouds and mist in the distance, there were indeed faint dark mountains, and the head and tail could not be seen, only the undulating curves could be seen, which was the ridge, and the mountainside and the bottom of the mountain were hidden in the fog.
It was a very high mountain, Steng stood in front of Cassini Station and looked out, exhaled, he had the same feeling before, many years ago Sten drove deep into the Tibetan Plateau, and saw the white ridges of the Himalayas suspended in the air from a very long distance, like a mirage, he asked the guide how far away are those mountains? The guide glanced at the fuel tank and said that he couldn't run away even if the oil was burned out, and the air on the plateau was too clean, so he could see the mountains far, far away.
"What kind of mountain is that?" Liu Peijia asked, "Could it be that our buoy was blown into the mountains by the wind?" โ
"There are no mountains on the Shangri-La plains." Stong said.
"What do you mean?" Liu Peijia turned his head.
"Literally, according to the data of the past years, there is not even a small dirt slope on the Shangri-La Plain, do you know the salt lake? This is a large salt lake of several hundred square kilometers. "So that's not a mountain." โ
"What is not a mountain?" Liu Peijia took two steps forward, wanting to take a closer look, but Dai Yue reminded in a low voice: "Be careful!" โ
A few steps away from Titan can be the difference between life and death.
"Can we go and see? Old history? Liu Peijia turned his head and asked.
"No way!"
"I remember there were cars in the garage at Cassini station." Liu Peijia said, "We can drive to ......"
"No, either." Shi Teng flatly refused, "Don't think about it, it doesn't matter if it's a mountain or not, it has nothing to do with us, we only have two things to do next, one is to contact the earth, the other is to repair this building, there are still twenty-six hours before it gets dark, and we have to prepare for hibernation before dark." โ
Steng looked up at the mountain again, wondering how far it was from Cassini Station, and when did it appear there?
The air over Titan is so muddy that the mountain shouldn't be too far away.

Dabai, I'm Zhao Mumu.
Hello, Miss Zhao Mumu.
I have a question for you.
You please.
I would like to ask what do you know about the death of Hu Donghai, the director of the laboratory?
Sudden onset of sudden death.
Sudden death?
Yes, at least that's what the report says, the on-site personnel didn't have time to conduct a detailed autopsy on Director Hu's body, and they had planned to bring the director's body back to Earth.
So what's going on with what I'm holding?
What's in your hands?
Yes, can't you see what I'm holding in my hand?
I'm sorry, Miss Zhao Mumu, but I said I can't see or hear anything right now.
Then let me tell you what I am holding in my hand, it is a helmet, it is a tool used in medical treatment or research, and it is also a murder weapon, it can be focused and irradiated with short high-energy particles to destroy the nerves and cell tissues of the human brain, and there is no bleeding, no wounds, and the gods are unaware.
You mean gamma knife?
Uh-huh.
Unfortunately, Miss Zhao Mumu, the Gamma Knife cannot be used to kill people, its use power and safety range are strictly defined, and it can only be used for precision biological tissue scanning or tumor cutting.
What if someone could cross the line?
Who can cross the security line?
You.
The computer was silent for a few seconds.
Miss Zhao Mumu, are you suspecting that I am a murderer?
The whole Cassini station is under your control, and you almost killed Miss Moyu by injecting too much cryon, right?
Yes, I don't deny it.
It's not just you, Da Bai, I not only doubt you, but I also suspect others, because Hu Donghai didn't wear anything when he died, and someone must have taken the helmet off his head, so you also have an accomplice.
So Miss Zhao Mumu, who is this accomplice? Do you see this accomplice?
No, because the video from that time is missing.
That's because Director Hu Donghai ordered me to turn off the monitoring, which was Director Hu's own request.
Really? Great? Did he really order you to turn off the surveillance? What he told you, only you know, and we just saw the records on the hard drive, all the video records were entered by you, who knows what Hu Donghai told you at that time?
"Mumu? You mean Da Bai killed Director Hu? Ge Zi on the side was surprised.
"Not necessarily, I'm just playing a white story, if it's really it, then it's just an accomplice." Mu Mu snorted, holding a precision high-energy scanner in his hand, and it was also a gamma knife - this is the helmet that Mu Mu found, it can scan the fine structure of biological tissues with electromagnetic waves, and can also use high-energy particles to focus and cut diseased tissues, this thing is as common as scalpel hemostats, it stands to reason that it will not cause any harm to the human body during use, but it will not happen in theory but there are more things that appear in reality...... Theoretically, there is no danger associated with injecting refrigerant fluid.
If Dabai crosses the safety limit of the scanner, then it can use this to kill, and the deceased will not look abnormal, because the gamma knife itself is non-invasive and does not bleed.
"If Dabai can use it to kill, then so can others." Mu Mu said, "And this person must exist, because Da Bai can't take the helmet off the director's head." โ
Mu Mu faintly grasped something, she found clues in the fog of time after twenty years, the so-called sudden death, the so-called mental interference...... Maybe it's just the tip of the iceberg of a horrific murder floating on the surface.
"Who is this man?" Ge Zi asked.
Mu Mu was silent, if this person must exist...... So who is he?
Jiangzi? Lou Qi? Liang Jing? Wan Kai? Acquiescence? Yaxiang?
Mu Mu's gaze fell on the scanner in her hand, and she imagined that twenty years ago in the P3 lab, someone put this helmet on the director's head, killed him, and then took off the helmet and put it in the cabinet...... Which of these six people is he?
