While Zhang Tianhe pushed the Star to set off towards a near-solar orbit, Xu Tianqi was restlessly walking around in a very rudimentary prison, where he had engaged in a fierce fight with the enemy when he was captured, and the bones of his forearm were broken when parrying other people's weapons, and after simple fixation and bandaging, they were now in hot pain.

They were intercepted by the enemy in near-solar orbit and became captives, and now they are kept in prison as prisoners, flying non-stop in space, with no one to torture him or talk to him, and in a daze, I don't know how long it has been. Everything on his body has been searched, even the Martian chip that was born on the spine has been disturbed, he does not know who his enemy is, and he does not know how long it has been, at first because of the fight and the injuries he was wounded when he was captured, he has been in a state of confusion, either sleeping or waking up by pain, he wishes to be able to sleep all the time, but the young man always has a good rest, and now he is in this state: as if he has been greatly injured, But he didn't feel it when it happened, and only now did he clearly feel the pain in his body and the torment in his heart.

Messed up! He couldn't help but think so. It was already rare for him to be able to carry out the task alone, it was equivalent to being trusted and promoted, and he was promised a reward, and he actually messed up!

There are a lot of strange things about people, such as for today's space fighting, if your ship is hit or destroyed, your weapon loses its effectiveness, and you are essentially defeated by people, there is no cost or reason to continue to resist. But when those people hit the navigation system and weapon system on Xu Tianqi's airship, making it impossible for the airship to continue flying, and they boarded the boat to capture the prisoners, he still pounced like a tiger, trying to engage in the final hand-to-hand combat with the enemy - of course, it failed, it seemed that this desperate struggle was meaningless, but at that juncture, he still pounced on it naturally.

He didn't know that he had such courage, and he admired it in his heart, at least at this point he was satisfied with his performance, although he may have made a big mistake - in the more than 200 years of Martian history, even the Martian soldiers who were captured in men and boats have really not heard of them. Moreover, he has a mission in him, the mission failed, he lost the airship, and this is to go to a military court.

Maybe you can also defend yourself. Xu Tianqi thought as he walked around the cramped cell. So far, he didn't realize that he was being captured by someone else, and he didn't worry about his current situation, but worried about what would happen after returning to Mars. From this aspect, you can see how confident the Martians are, for them, there is no one who can afford to mess with them in the solar system, and subconsciously he will always return to Mars, and in the face of the Martian judgment, he is most afraid of this.

Speaking of the process of his capture, it is actually quite shameless...... It's a bit like the kind of flower shooting in the past Earth era, just hide in the corner and open a pocket and wait, you just walked in from the side of the alley and was put on the sack with a shout, and you couldn't see anything, and then people beat you up and carried it away, no matter how high your martial arts are, it's useless.

Xu Tianqi's experience is similar.

In fact, the space activities of the Martians now also have to follow some ancient rules, such as doing long-distance flights in the solar system generally or flying along the ecliptic plane, because this kind of flight is the easiest to accelerate or decelerate, the gravitational force of the entire solar system is the most balanced and uniform distribution on the ecliptic plane, no spacecraft can speed up in an absolute vacuum, no matter where it takes off, there must be a reaction force. In this sense, most of the astronautics of the Earth era did not rely on their own power, but on the gravitational slingshots of the planets, in other words, many aircraft of that era did not fly out on their own, but were thrown out by large planets such as Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. In the past, the aircraft were equipped with solar or ion engines, and to put it mildly, they could produce about the same thrust as a fart, which was more like fine-tuning than drive, but because space is a vacuum, this little power is enough for them to complete most of the maneuvering tasks. And the Martian spacecraft, even if it is just a small spacecraft that does not have fusion ability, such as a landing craft, is driven by fusion direct injection, so now the Martian can complete a lot of maneuvers in space.

According to Zhang Tianhe's instructions, Xu Tianqi was supposed to fly along the ecliptic plane to the vicinity of the sun, and then make a big turn to drill under the sun, that is, fly away from the ecliptic plane and pass through the shadow of the sun from below the sun, and then fly back to Mars.

The eyes of the landing craft, that is, its radar, no, it should be said that the radar of all Martian spacecraft cannot be seen in all directions, space is full of all kinds of signals, and when flying in general, an airship behaves like a person, only looking at where he is going. A spacecraft like Xu Tianqi with a mission, and a spaceship that has been warned, is like a vigilant person, when he goes to a place, he has to look around to see if there is any danger. Of course, Xu Tianqi also looked at the direction he was going when he braked and turned, and there seemed to be no danger, and then as soon as he braked, he saw more than a dozen spaceships of all kinds of strange shapes turning out from behind the sun, some were bigger than a pig's nose, some were smaller than it, some were like the earth's space shuttle, some were like a stick, some were saucer-shaped spaceships, and even a few were simply pig-nosed spaceships. These people are ambushed in the strong radiation of the sun, and you will turn in this place if you calculate it, they must have accurately predicted Xu Tianqi's maneuvering vector in advance, and there was nothing when he was probing, and as soon as he turned the corner, the gang came out, and the first round of shelling hit his particle cannon calibrator, and then Xu Tianqi made an emergency braking action, in fact, he turned around and wanted to run, and a group of people chased after him, and the indiscriminate artillery killed the master and stopped him.

Space combat is actually very simple and crude, as we once described, you only need to punch a boat through even a millimeter of small holes to kill everyone inside. In fact, the design of all Martian spacecraft has a basic principle to prevent other people's hands, such as the pig's nose, its shell has two layers, the outermost is a basic defense layer, the middle is equipped with various instruments, and there is a reinforcement layer in the manned cabin, a bit like the kind of multi-yolk eggs, one layer after another, and the egg liquid in the middle, that is, various instruments, and the manned cabins are specially reinforced, double insurance. It is precisely because of this that there are such cases where the instrument is broken through but the person is okay - in fact, from the perspective of the Martians, they would not have thought that someone would be able to penetrate the outermost protective shell, as we have already said, even if they themselves can't penetrate it with one or two shots......

However, there are pig noses in the broken boats that ambushed Xu Tianqi, which seems to make sense - there are bad people in the masses of Mars! This also understands how they know the pig's nose so well, where the first round of shelling hits, where the second round hits, and it is considered stable.

In any case, at least these people's goal is not to kill people, otherwise they can penetrate the first layer and then they can penetrate the second layer, there is no doubt that they are here to catch the mouth, or in other words, they are here to snatch the woman.

In the two days when he flew away from the star, Xu Tianqi had been to see that woman, she was indeed very beautiful, but it didn't seem to be a big deal, there were more beautiful women in the world, and she was just a little better looking than other beautiful women...... He thought so, but he really couldn't help but want to look at her even a little more, so he often walked around the cabin where Athena had nothing to do. There are not many cabins on the pig's nose, only three are specially reinforced, Guan Athena is one of them, Xu Tianqi walks nearby to see what she is doing when he is free during the flight, it seems that it can also be used as a kind of fun.

On a spaceship, all the cabins are generally independent of each other and are closed, if something goes wrong with one cabin, the other cabins have at least one reaction time, so if a person looks at it from the outside with the naked eye, you can't see anything, it's all metal, and only someone with permission to open the sensor can see what's going on inside. Xu Tianqi often went to see this woman, and he explained this as his curiosity: how could such an ordinary-looking woman make the captain so nervous? What's so great about her?

Because of the needs of astronautics, most of the daily necessities nowadays, that is, eating, drinking, and Lazar, are made in the walls of the airship, and there is no kitchen on the pig's nose, because it does not have the ability to fuse, but only borrows a little energy to fly, so the pig's nose itself is not used for long-distance travel, they only brought some dry food and went on the road. These things are packed in a supply cabin, and when the time comes, the computer will be assigned from the wall of the cabin to everyone's hands, and at this time, except for the staff on duty in the cockpit, it is usually everyone's rest time, and Xu Tianqi often goes to see Athena at this time. I don't know if men have a quirk since ancient times, that is, they like to watch women do something not very elegant, such as eating, for a woman no matter how she eats, it is a very unpoetic thing.

Athena didn't eat when she faced Zhang Tianhe on the Star, and later Shi Kening arranged for the kitchen to get her something to eat, but she didn't eat much. Now the quality of rationed dry food on the airship is actually very different from that of the star, imagine that you can eat duck meat on the star, but there is no such condition on the pig's nose, you can only eat something that processes the duck meat like toothpaste - the pig's nose gravity and resources are insufficient, and it can't dispose of all kinds of household garbage, if you eat and throw it around for a few days, it will become a garbage can, and the Martians are strictly forbidden to litter space junk, that is, you can't just throw garbage in space, Therefore, eating in the pig's nose can only be settled.

But the strange thing is that Athena eats this mushy thing on the pig's nose and eats it very well, is it more in line with her original habits? Xu Tianqi didn't know her past story, but watching her slowly and gently eat things that didn't seem to him to be of high grade always made him feel an unbearable sense of happiness: as if she was born like this, good-looking, tall, and eating so naturally, as if she should have a lot of rights, she was like ...... A goddess who is beyond mortals......

Xu Tianqi had never read the Greek myths of the Earth Age, and these thoughts came from his heart.
