Chapter 52: It's Not Easy to Go Home

Shen Youde once again proved that "flag" is not just a word, it will come true when your mind is strong enough and the gods from all walks of life happen to be free.

It's just that it's the other way around.

Although the ship that traveled back and forth between Earth and Ceres was older, its sturdiness was absolutely fine, and this time it was not the ship itself that had problems, but it was hijacked.

In fact, the spacecraft deviated from its course not long after leaving the port, but the spacecraft made a big turn, and the passengers did not notice the change in the direction of acceleration.

In addition, all the spacecraft do not have windows for safety, and all the "viewing windows" are actually ultra-high-definition displays, although there are scenes of slowly leaving Ceres, but those are not real scenes, but images taken by the camera.

In fact, the flight spacecraft has the same course every time, and the image is directly covered by the previous materials, and nothing can be seen, so this time the interceptor used this trick.

The reason why it was found to be wrong was simply that someone noticed that the communication delay time in instant messaging was incorrect.

The flight time of Ceres to Earth is about 5 days, although it is not fast, but as the spacecraft gradually gets closer to Earth, the communication delay between the people on the spacecraft and the Earth should be getting shorter and shorter.

It's just that many people don't like to use instant messaging at ultra-long distances because of latency, and often send a text, voice or video alone on their own side, and then the other party will reply when they have time after receiving it, basically not looking at the time.

But there are people on this ship, and the earth friends are very idle, and they use instant communication with each other, and it turns out that the communication delay is getting longer and longer.

This means that either there is a problem with the information transmission equipment or relay equipment, or the spacecraft that should be close to Earth has in fact been moving away from Earth.

"What's going on? Why is the communication delay getting longer? ”

"Ah, and here's it, I haven't been paying attention to the time, I'm looking through my communication records,, according to the character of my friend!"

"I also have this problem here, I thought it was just my own equipment that was wrong, but I didn't expect so many people to have this problem, it can't be the spaceship's antenna problem, right?"

"Ask the staff, we can't guess ourselves."

"Yes, ask the staff."

The passengers' emotions began to fluctuate, from a few people to everyone, this is space, and the only place they can stay is this small spaceship, and to make sure that the ship does not go wrong is to be responsible for everyone's lives, even if it is a communication problem.

As a result, it was only at this time that the passengers found that the staff shuttling through various areas were gone, and no one answered even when they pressed the summon button, which made the passengers a little panicked.

"Isn't it a problem with the ship's equipment?"

This thought flashed through the minds of the passengers, and other thoughts came to me irrepressibly.

Lu Ping's sleeping pods and other students are in the same area, and it is very lively after getting on the ship, after all, they have just come out of school and spent almost three months in space, and now they have finally returned to Earth, and then they have to spend their last student career, everyone's emotions are relatively high, not to mention that three big celebrities suddenly appeared among the classmates.

Basically, the male classmates surrounded Shen Youde to listen to him brag, the girls chattered around Qin Tianjing, and Lu Ping put on a cold personality to get into the sleeping cabin and not come out, in fact, he was discussing with Hongmeng San how to use the remaining more than 300,000 energy, and how to do energy after returning to Earth.

There is still more than 100 million federal coins to spend, he has never seen so much money.

Although it is a bit wasteful to buy energy directly, it can get nearly 200 million units of energy, which is simply ......

There is still more than 100 million units of energy left in the fourth stage.

"Suck ~ hey!"

And he also changed the name of Hongmeng San, it's nothing to call the full name when everyone is not familiar, but after getting familiar with it, it still calls the full name, which always feels weird.

After Hongmeng San's own consideration, it chose a coat color between its coat color and its real name, because its coat color is bright and darker than orange correction, so it was officially renamed "Orange" instead of "Little San".

After the news from other places came, Lu Ping also came out and asked Shen Youde, who came over, "What's the matter?" ”

"It seems that something went wrong, the communication delay between the spacecraft and the earth is getting longer and longer, at first the passengers thought it was a problem with the equipment, but they couldn't find it when they looked for the crew, and then the external communication was directly cut off, and the door to the cockpit was also blocked, and now people are beginning to suspect that the spacecraft has been hijacked."

"And this?"

Lu Ping also clicked on his communication record, but instead of looking at it, he asked Orange.

"Is there a problem with the ship's course?"

"There is a problem, it does not coincide with the intended route of the spacecraft, and it has been flying in the asteroid belt."

"That's really something, really...... You can't go home in peace, you check the situation on the ship, and I'll be told later."

"Got it."

The orange jumped out of Lu Ping's chest in an invisible state, landed on the ground and quickly ran towards the cockpit.

And when Lu Ping learned of the situation, he said to Shen Youde: "It should be that it was hijacked, the communication was cut off, and we can only see what the robbers have and purpose." ”

As soon as his words fell, an announcement sounded in the cabin, a hoarse middle-aged male voice.

"Hey, can you hear me? Hehe, good afternoon passengers, I originally wanted to bring you a peaceful journey, but I didn't expect some passengers to be so uncooperative. ”

"As a passenger, it's good to bear with it when you notice a problem, why do you have to say it, now there are even passengers who want to destroy the hatch, I advise you not to do that, the spaceship is the foundation of our survival in space, some passengers don't let everyone die in space for their own selfishness."

Hearing this broadcast, the air in the rest area immediately vibrated and everyone was talking, buzzing, and some even shouted: "Who are you riding horses and what do you want to do?" ”

Originally, it was just a sentence to vent my emotions, but I didn't expect the other party to reply.

"This passenger is very uncivilized and polite, let me take a look, well, bed 44, Zhang Chao, bring him to me."

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, the man before he exclaimed, and the others saw that a person was holding a dagger of special material at him, trying to pull him away.

Because the situation was unknown, everyone did not rush up to help, but distanced themselves from that side and watched the person being dragged into the elevator.

This situation was played out in all areas, and a typical type was taken away from each place, and after doing all this, the crowd was silent, and the people who had been boiling with blood to do something were also cold.

There were undercover agents in the crowd.

Although the other party took the initiative to indicate one, but the other party dared to do so, it proves that there is at least one more here.

For a while, the gathered people were wary of each other, and gradually distanced themselves.

As if satisfied with the situation, the voice sounded again, "Okay, now that the uncivilized people have been taken away, then let's talk." ”

"First of all, let me introduce myself, you can call me Black Scorpion, as soon as I hear this title, I know that I am a civilized person, so as long as you cooperate, I will always be a civilized person, I will not do anything to you, just use you as a bargaining chip, and when I finish negotiating with the high-level of the People's Federation, you can leave safely."

"I think I've made it clear, so I hope you don't let me down."

At this end the broadcast, the cabin was quiet again, and there was no buzz like before.

It was Lu Ping who received the news from the orange, "A good news, a bad news, which one to listen to first?" ”

"When is it, you still have this interest, say it quickly."

"Hehe, okay, the good news is that the other party really doesn't plan to do anything to you, as long as the passengers are safe, they will always be civilized people, this group of people is really strange, not like a simple space pirate, the previous 'thorn' is actually the person they arranged."

"And the bad news is that this matter seems to be related to you, because of the "Secret History of Intelligent Machines" turmoil you brought up, some of these people planned to fish in troubled waters, but they were targeted by the Twelfth Fleet, 3 were killed, 5 were captured, and they wanted to let people go through negotiations. ”

“……”

Lu Ping didn't know what to say for a while.
