Chapter 43: Notes

Although the million-dollar fighter jet fell into the water and was scrapped, Zhang Heng's safe return made the people at NASA breathe a sigh of relief.

Two serious accidents occurred in the same day, and if two more astronaut candidates were to be accidental, although they were not accidents that affected the moon landing program, ordinary people would certainly not care so much, in fact, since Congress approved the Apollo program, the voice of civil opposition has not stopped.

More and more people are questioning whether this expensive cost is justified, whether the so-called space race and the moon landing are just face-saving projects, and the political significance is far greater than the practical significance, knowing that the money could be used to improve people's livelihoods, education, or health care, so that more poor people can be fed, the unemployed receive more subsidies, and people of color are more respected.

Those media who heard the news would definitely seize such a thing and chase it hard, but fortunately, unlike Anthony before, Zhang Heng miraculously survived this accident.

However, after returning to the shore, he was not able to meet with the other players, but was taken directly to the infirmary, although on the surface he was not injured in the accident, but for the sake of safety, the medical team still gave him another physical examination, and after confirming that he was in good health, Zhang Heng was taken to a conference room to be questioned by the accident investigation team.

Including the reason for the engine stalling at that time, Zhang Heng's countermeasures, the status of the fighter and a series of other problems, as well as the subsequent escape process.

Because of the existence of the cruise ship, Zhang Heng did not hide it, and basically told the truth, including that the fighter was caught in a tornado after losing power, and then completed a forced landing on the water, but he only concealed the details of his use of [Betty's Shell] to control the tornado.

The people in the accident investigation team felt like they were listening to myths, although it was true that Zhang Heng could not be ruled out in theory, but their rich professional experience told them that the chances of such a thing happening were too small.

Originally, the probability of the left and right engines stopping in the air at the same time was very small, and then it happened to catch up with the tornado, even if this situation did not dare to write like this, but they did do a lot of homework before coming, the waterspout at that time was not far from the coast, and there were still many people who saw it, plus the witnesses on the cruise ship, their statement was exactly the same as Zhang Heng's statement.

So as emotionally hard as it is to believe, they can only accept this only explanation in the end.

In addition, the accident investigation team also paid special attention to the problem of the ejection device, and the tragedy in the morning was related to the failure of the ejection device of the moon landing training plane, and less than a few hours later, the ejection device of the fighter plane failed again, and it is easy to wonder if there is any connection between the two.

NASA has sent a salvage team to salvage the fighter plane that fell into the water, intending to conduct a detailed investigation, and in addition, the investigation team also specifically inquired about the possibility of Zhang Heng's vandalism.

…………

By the time all the investigations were over, it was already evening, and the investigation team informed Zhang Heng that he was no longer allowed to fly until the final investigation report came out, and Zhang Heng had no objection to this result, and such a result was tantamount to protecting him, and he didn't want to do it again before the murderer was found.

After eating, Zhang Heng returned to the class of aerodynamics.

However, not long after he sat down, he received a small note, which was very simple, just one sentence.

- You're suspicious of Bruno, see you in the hallway at three o'clock tonight.

Bruno is the name of the weak young man in the copy, and the note was sent by Zhen Kuang, but the person who wrote the note was a middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual.

The latter nodded at Zhang Heng covertly after he got the note.

Zhang Heng was not too surprised, there were two accidents in succession, one successful and one failed, and other players would definitely worry about their own safety, and wanted to work hard to find out the murderer and figure out how the other party kept causing accidents.

At present, it seems that the players except Bruno have united and reached some kind of consensus, they believe that Bruno is the most suspicious, and they do not intend to let the other party take the initiative to decide the life and death of other players, so they decided to take the initiative.

This basically means that Bruno is out of this game ahead of schedule, because regardless of whether he is the real murderer or not, after completely turning his face, other players will no longer leave this threat, and there are already many people staring at his position, and now that Zhang Heng has survived, Bruno's role is not great.

The reason why the intellectual-looking middle-aged man still invited Zhang Heng to join was not to value his strength, but to prevent him from telling NASA about it.

This is undoubtedly very sensible.

There were two accidents in a row in one day, and it was clear from the previous accident investigation team that they were also suspicious of the possibility of man-made.

At this time, even if it can be disguised as an accident, it is a big risk, and only the relationship of complicity can keep the secret as much as possible.

Zhang Heng didn't hesitate for too long before agreeing to the middle-aged man's proposal.

Regardless of whether Bruno is a murderer or not, killing Bruno is undoubtedly beneficial to him now, even if the other four don't do it, in order to ensure his own safety, Zhang Heng will find a way to let Bruno out first, since the purpose of the two sides is the same now, Zhang Heng has no reason to refuse.

And this result is obviously not expected by middle-aged people.

In the subsequent physical training, the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual found an opportunity to come to Zhang Heng's side and briefly talked to him about the plan of action for the night, but in order not to arouse Bruno's vigilance, the two soon separated again, and the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual even deliberately gathered everyone and expressed his hope that another meeting would be held at noon tomorrow to continue the discussion that could not be completed before.

Bruno seemed very unimpressed by this, but even so, he found Zhang Heng after the end of the physical training, indicating that what happened on the fighter plane in the afternoon had nothing to do with him, and at the same time expressed his intention to form an alliance with Zhang Heng, Bruno obviously knew that his relationship with other players was not good now, and he urgently needed the support of the alliance.

According to him, he and Zhang Heng are the two players with the best training performance, and teaming up can further ensure the success rate of the moon landing.

Zhang Heng replied that he would consider it, but when the hands of the clock pointed to three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Heng still opened the door as agreed.
