Chapter 69: Mayday

"Great white! Great? Hear me please answer! ”

"Wan Kai? Chef? Can Chef hear me? Chef, can you hear me? ”

Liang Jing and Jiang Zi were standing in the lake and calling, and they were suddenly cut off from Cassini Station, and there was only a noisy electrical noise in the headphones.

The road map on the helmet display flickered, and finally went out like an old-fashioned cathode ray tube TV, and Jiang Zi couldn't save it with a hard beat.

Liang Jing and Jiang Zi looked at each other, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were abandoned, and they had not come back to their senses, standing alone on the cold and empty lake.

"Webmaster...... This is also planned? Liang Jing hesitated for a few seconds.

Jiang Zi's eyes widened, his face full of confusion.

Is this part of the plan?

"What's the plan?" Jiang Zi opened his mouth, "Liang Gong, do you have any plans with Dabai?" ”

"Me? I didn't say anything. Liang Jing asked rhetorically, "Isn't it you?" Didn't you tell Dabai anything? ”

Jiang Zi and Liang Jing respectively confirmed that neither the other party had tampered with any plan of action, and the only possibility was that Da Bai had tampered with the plan.

They circled around the same place to find a signal, Jiang Zi even asked Liang Jing to stand on his shoulder, trying to increase the height in the way of stacking arhats, but this time the communication was completely cut off, and the two sets of iron floats could only contact each other, and could not contact Cassini Station, no matter which channel it was on, I don't know if the communication system was out of order, or Dabai turned off the answer.

“Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! "In the end, Jiang Zi can only try to call for help on the 121.5 MHz international emergency band, and the mission on the Titan follows the rules of radio use on Earth, in case you crash and overturn somewhere, you can shout Mayday on the 121.5 MHz channel - but no one has ever done this, because everyone knows that no one else can listen to the radio signal on Titan, and if you lose contact with Cassini Station, then you will most likely never hear a second person speak again in your life.

“Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Liang Jing followed the 406 MHz and 243 MHz channels for help, but Titan is a radio desert, and no one can hear the sound they shout, and there is silence in the channel.

"No, it's completely out of the picture." Jiang Zi gave up calling for help.

"Stationmaster, have you ever encountered this before?" Liang Jing asked, "How did you solve it at that time?" ”

"If that were the case, you'd see my name on the martyrs' monument." Jiang Zi replied, "When Boris overturned on the half-foot lake, the reason why he was able to come back alive was because the communication was not interrupted...... Since the establishment of Cassini Station, it is impossible for all those who have lost contact to return to Cassini Station alive. ”

"The Iron Float still has half of the electricity and oxygen." Liang Jing glanced at the battery and gas cylinder, "It can last about six to seven hours." ”

"." Jiang Zi scolded.

"I just noticed that we're very close to Cassini station, about five hundred meters away." Liang Jing stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, "We can continue to walk forward, if nothing else, we should be able to reach our destination soon." ”

Jiang Zi nodded, and it could only be like this.

Communication was cut off, and they had to bite the bullet and move on, but fortunately they were close enough to Cassini Station, and the rest of the journey wouldn't take too long.

Jiang Zi and Liang Jing continued to follow their memories, but fortunately, the path given by Dabai was basically a straight line, and even without Dabai's guidance, they could still approach Cassini Station - as long as they got close to within fifty meters, they could see the lights of Cassini Station.

The two of them held hands and waded across the lake, the auxiliary motor on the Iron Floating Tu could ensure that they walked in a straight line, Jiang Zi walked in front, Liang Jing followed, the two continued to walk along the predetermined route, when the communication was interrupted, they were still five hundred meters away from Cassini Station, so as long as they walked these five hundred meters, they could see the gate of Cassini Station.

"What the hell is going on?" Liang Jing asked, "Have you ever had this kind of problem before?" ”

"You mean communication?" Jiang Zi asked.

Liang Jing nodded.

"How is that possible? When it comes to extravehicular activities, the communication link is the lifeline, and there is no way to go wrong in any case. Jiang Zi replied, "Do you know which module is the most expensive and sophisticated part of this set of iron floating tugs on our body?" ”

Liang Jing was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"Most people think it's a thermal insulation system, but it's not, the most advanced part of the Iron Float is in the helmet behind our left ear, and it's a small square the size of a mahjong when it's removed, and the cost of this gadget accounts for 30 percent of the entire Iron Float system." Jiang Zi tapped his helmet with his finger, "The radio communication module, it can ensure stable contact within twenty kilometers in a ghost place like Titan, and Saturn's magnetic field can't interfere, if you bring the walkie-talkie on Earth here, you will have to be blind for five hundred meters." ”

"So there won't be a problem with the communication?"

"Unless it's a volcano like a communications tower." Jiang Zi said, "If it is not violent destruction, there can be no problems at all." ”

"So it's Cassini Station that has the problem?" Liang Jing asked.

Jiang Zi nodded, "Cassini Station and Dabai, there must be something wrong." ”

Liang Jing and Jiang Zi were both staring at the odometer, and the rest of the distance showed that they were getting closer and closer to Cassini Station, and the two couldn't help but speed up their pace.

"Wan Kai is still in the station." "He should be able to sense that the communication system is malfunctioning." ”

"The problem is that he doesn't know how to troubleshoot it."

"Dabai can help him."

"You can't count on Dabai at this time, Liang Gong." Jiang Zi said, "If you look at the field where we are now, you will know that relying on Dabai is unreliable. ”

"Strange, has Dabai ever had a problem before?" Liang Jing was a little puzzled.

"I've long said that it's unreliable to leave everything to a computer, but other people trust it too much, and in the eyes of people on Earth, the probability of AI making mistakes is 10 million times lower than that of humans, so they would rather give all their important work to AI than trust an old engineer who has been working hard for 20 years, what a bunch of bureaucrats on paper." Jiang Zi was indignant, "The most mistaken thing in this world is the bureaucrats. ”

"We have to talk to Da Bai after we go back......" Liang Jing raised his head, suddenly stopped, and pulled Jiang Zi in front of him, "We're here." ”

"Arrived? Where? Jiang Zi asked subconsciously.

"It's Cassini Station."

"Got to Cassini Station?" Jiang Zi looked at the odometer and noticed that they had walked five hundred meters and reached the intended destination, but when he looked around, it was still a hazy fog and a vast lake, with no end in sight.

What about land?

What about the lights?

What about Cassini Station?

Liang Jing's heart slowly sank, and his hands and feet were cold.

They had already completed all the roads according to the road map, and the last five hundred meters were also over, but the final goal was nothing on the ground, Mo said that Cassini had stopped, and they had not yet walked out of the half-foot lake.

Liang Jing's most fearful, most frightening result appeared.

They are lost.
