When I went in, I found that this was a lounge, not large, with several recessed sleeping pods on the left and right, as well as changing boxes or something, and a small table next to it, on which some personal belongings were placed.

Seeing that there was no danger, I let everyone in and said to them, "Look around for any clues!" ”

Shen Hao went to the front door to guard, while the others searched around. Instructor Li came up to me and said, "This is one of the two dormitories side by side, and there should be another room of the same kind to our right." ”

An Beimo came over and said: "This should be where the female astronaut lives, we found her clothes, but we didn't find anything useful." ”

I asked Instructor Lee, "How far is it from the control room?" ”

Instructor Li said: "It's not too far, a hundred meters out from here, there is an upward road, and there is the general control room." And this floor is basically a room for living and scientific research. ”

I said to everyone, "Well, after a while, according to the previous plan, one group will follow me to the main control room to find out the whereabouts of the astronauts." The second group followed the doctor and went to get the black box. I asked Instructor Li and said, "Do you know where the black box is, you can follow the second group in a while." ”

Instructor Li replied very dryly: "No problem!" ”

There was nothing in this room, and we went out to look in the next room and found nothing. So the two of us acted separately, and I took An Beimo, Feng Jiutian, and Instructor Zhao to find the upward passage and go to the main control room.

It is said that it is the main control room, but in fact, there is a small control console, which cannot control the flight trajectory of the rocket, and can only operate some internal functional equipment.

The itinerary of the Yuantu-2 rocket is basically planned, where to go, how far to go, and when to return, which is a completely set procedure, and does not require astronaut control. Their job is to explore and study the stars found along the way and collect data.

Here, I saw empty coffee cups with residual coffee stains inside. A couple of notepads, pens thrown aside, were written on them all things I couldn't read. Some of the photos were taken with black space, and I couldn't see any difference between them.

Further down the road is a laboratory with all sorts of instruments I've never seen before. Further back is the storage room, which is disinfected first, but we still find nothing after searching around.

"Doctor, did you find anything there?" I asked over the intercom.

Seven Stars replied, "We just passed by the restaurant and found halfway through the food, it seems that they left suddenly when they were halfway through the meal. Now we are going to the mechanical room, and Instructor Li said that the black box is hidden there. ”

I said, "Okay, you go ahead and tell me when you get the black box." Then I asked Instructor Zhao, "By the way, where are their spacesuits stored?" ”

Instructor Zhao said: "It's in an independent cabin next to the main control room. ”

I said to An Beimo and the others: "Let's go, there are no clues here, let's go to the place where the spacesuit is stored." ”

We went back the way we came, and there was a door next to the main control room, and when we entered, we found that it was a rectangular room, and on either side were cabinets for storing spacesuits. Most of the cabinets had snow-white spacesuits hanging from them, but the four closest to us were empty.

When I saw this, I immediately asked Instructor Zhao, "Where is the escape pod?" ”

Instructor Zhao said: "Below, behind the living area. You don't suspect that they have been removed from the rocket, do you? This is absolutely not, we saw when we were outside that the escape pod was still at the bottom of the rocket, and it was not detached. ”

I said, "Anyway, let's go and see first, we have to look everywhere." ”

Instructor Zhao nodded, and led us back to the lower level, towards the back of the living area, that is, almost near the bottom of the rocket.

The internal structure of the rocket is not complicated, and I think Instructor Zhao is quite familiar with it. And the road here is not detoured, basically one by one, although it is divided into two floors, but it is such a large place to come and go, and the rest of the space is all machinery and energy storage cabins.

After coming to the escape capsule, no trace of the astronauts was found, and the escape capsule was also closed, and there was no sign of activation.

"That's weird!" An Beimo muttered to himself in a low voice.

I said, "Yes! Four spacesuits were missing, and naturally they were worn by four astronauts, but if they weren't coming to take the escape pod, then where would they go? It's not going to be a rocket outside of space, is it? ”

Feng Jiutian also said: "That's right! The energy to support the gravity system is enough for two years, and their mission time is less than a year, they can live as if they were on Earth, and they don't need to wear spacesuits at all! ”

An Beimo asked Instructor Zhao at this time, "Is there a weapon here?" I mean where the weapons are stored. ”

Instructor Zhao said, "Yes, but it's still in the same place where the spacesuit is stored." ”

I glanced at Instructor Zhao and realized that this guy really didn't understand what it meant to draw inferences. Basically, he will answer whatever we ask, and if we don't ask for other relevant information, he won't remember to tell us.

In a military base, this kind of IQ can only be an instructor, a civilian job, and bluff newcomers. I guess if it weren't for his father, he wouldn't even be qualified to be an instructor.

I couldn't say anything to him at this time, so I had to say, "Let's go, go back and see!" ”

Back to the storage room of the spacesuit again, there was a password cabinet on the wall, Instructor Zhao asked Instructor Qian for the password, opened the cabinet, and saw that it was also empty.

Instructor Zhao said to me in surprise: "The weapons are gone!" ”

I went over and touched the shelves where the weapons were placed, and asked Instructor Zhao, "These are ordinary weapons, shotguns, pistols, why aren't they equipped with magnetic railguns like us?" ”

Instructor Zhao said: "These are equipped to prevent danger from landing when they return to the earth, they are here to do research in space, not to fight Star Wars, there is no need to be equipped with such high-end weapons." ”

I heard that he was still in the mood to talk to me, and was about to scold him, when An Beimo said to me on the side: "He's right, the space weapons equipped by astronauts are like this." ”

I glared at Instructor Zhao and said to An Beimo and Feng Jiutian: "Now I can basically be sure that the four astronauts are in danger, and they are likely to have been held hostage, and I don't even rule out the possibility that they have been sacrificed." Now our next task is to find out what the behemoth that controls the Longway-2 rocket is. ”

At this time, Qixing's urgent call came from the earphone: "Black Hawk! Oh no, the black box is gone. And all the video and audio data on the rocket are gone. ”

I was startled and asked, "Is there any backup data then?" ”

Instructor Li replied to me: "There is nothing left, all the data that can be referred to, all gone!" ”

"You guys come to the main control room and join us right now." I say.

After hearing this, I fell into deep thought. and An Beimo returned to the main control room and waited for the Seven Stars and their group.

Soon the three of them came, and Feng Jiutian also told us the results of our search. Qixing said in surprise: "This is too bizarre, where will those four astronauts go?" ”

I said, "Now there's only one possibility, and that's that they went to that mysterious flying object!" ”

Instructor Zhao immediately said, "How is this possible? They didn't have a flying machine, so they couldn't have flown to that mysterious flying object. ”

I reluctantly said to him, "Who said they flew over?" "I was too lazy to explain at the moment, so I called Instructor Qian on the walkie-talkie and asked him to find out for me where the connection point between Yuantu 2 and the mysterious flying object was.

Soon, Instructor Qian searched for the location and told me that it was between the fairing and the warehouse, but there was no road on the map leading there.

I thought about it and said, "Look again, try other paths, like pipes or something." ”

After a while, Instructor Qian replied that he had really found a way to get there, but it required us to climb over the machinery in the warehouse, where there was a maintenance pipe passing through the connection point.

He also told us to bring the cutter because to get to that place, we had to make a hole in the pipe before we could get there.

I said thank you and asked everyone to leave immediately and go back to the warehouse.

When I came to the big machines, I asked Instructor Qian to turn off the gravity system to reduce our resistance to movement.

Originally, I wanted to go up to explore the way first, but I was stopped by Shen Hao. He said that since he came to space, he hasn't done anything to help, so this opportunity will be given to him.

I smiled and nodded, telling him to be careful, keep talking, and let me know if he found anything.

Shen Hao reassured me with a big grin, held on to the edges and corners of the machine, slowly climbed up, and soon disappeared from my field of vision.

I told Instructor Qian to use the locator to keep an eye on Shen Hao's position, and if he reached the connection point, I would notify him to stop, and then we would follow.

Two minutes later, Shen Hao said that he had seen the repair pipeline, and complained that the hole was too small, and Instructor Qian found him a way to trap people.

I said that if you can go in, you can't get it, who let him train his muscles, and he won't be able to occupy an area of energy.

Not to be outdone, Shen Hao replied to me, saying that my body shape was no worse than him, and I would know how difficult this pipe was to climb when I went up in a while.

After a while, Shen Hao let out a "huh", saying that he saw traces of friction in the pipe, and it was very new.

I was overjoyed and told him that it seemed that the astronauts were on the same path as us, and that this time we were in the right place.

I waited a little impatiently below, and I was also worried that Shen Hao would not be safe alone. So without waiting for Shen Hao to arrive at the designated position, I asked Qixing to temporarily take over my command, and I also had to go up and have a look. By the way, I brought the cutting machine up, and if I needed to open the way, I carried it out with Shen Hao.
