Chapter 262: Level 1 Closure Order
Seeing that we were all puzzled, Hugo said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this, for the problems you mentioned, in fact, our country's technology has been able to solve them." ”
We were all stunned, and after hearing Hugo's words, my first reaction was: "This is impossible!" ”
Hugo smiled and said: "As I just said, the speed of development in my country is probably far beyond your imagination. There are things that have been told to you, and you may not believe them. You see, isn't that the situation now? ”
Hugo said exactly what we thought, but then it occurred to me that if we couldn't do something at all, our superiors wouldn't give us such an order. It may not sound very reliable, but the reality may not be so bad.
So I said to Hugo: "Hugo, just say it, what do you need us to do on this mission?" ”
Hugo paused for a few seconds, and then said solemnly: "The superiors ordered us to receive space skills training in the shortest possible time, and then set off for space to find the missing Yuantu 2 rocket." The first task was to rescue the four astronauts. If something happens to an astronaut, be sure to find and bring back the black box. Our ultimate goal is to let the China National Space Administration know what happened to Yuantu-2! ”
I said, "Hugo, I have a question that I don't understand, according to the content of the mission you said, isn't NASA more suitable than us?" They have professional astronauts, and they should be familiar with solving this kind of problem, but why choose us? ”
"The reason is simple!" Hugo replied to me: "Because the disappearance of Yuantu-2 has attracted the attention of some countries, and our country does not recognize the existence of the Yuantu rocket at all, so NASA cannot take any action against this incident." ”
Qixing said: "The existence of long-range rockets allows us to hide from the whole world, and I am afraid that we don't need such a high level of secrecy to explore space, right?" Or is the long-range rocket also carrying other hidden secrets? ”
Hugo's tone was heavier, and he said: "There are some questions that should not be asked, and should not be asked. You just need to know that the distance is important to us. We do not rule out that someone has already started to play the idea of a long distance, so we must find it before anyone else. Time is of the essence for us. ”
I saw that Qixing wanted to say more, so I stopped in front of her and said to Hugo, "What is the training arrangement for us?" ”
Hugo replied: "Tomorrow you will be sent to a top-secret base, where you will undergo ten days of assault training, which has been compressed to the shortest possible time, so the training intensity is very high, I hope you can overcome it." I'll tell you what's next when the training is over. Remember! This is a top-secret operation of the state, and you must not leak the slightest bit of information. ”
"From now on," Hugo said in a particularly serious tone, "you must hand in all your communication equipment, and no one can go out." Our headquarters has cut off all means of communication with the outside world, including landlines and the Internet. You all have a good rest today, and tomorrow morning at four o'clock there will be a car to pick you up. ”
It's the first time we've gone through such strict quarantine measures, and it seems that things are much more serious than I thought. Hugo didn't let us know too much about long-range rockets, believing that it was to protect us, and there were some things that didn't do us any good to know too much.
After saying that, Hugo called the meeting to a disjournment, and he was the first to walk out of the conference room, and then left the villa directly, got into a car that I had never seen, and left in a hurry. I took one look at the car with no license plate and completely black and opaque glass, and thought to myself, I'm afraid it's not just us, Hugo is also being supervised.
After Hugo's car left the villa, Uncle Zhao's voice came from the speaker in the hall, and he said, "Everyone! I received an order to begin a level 1 lockdown at headquarters. From now on, please stay in your room as much as possible. As a reminder, the entire villa has been monitored, including in your room. Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused! ”
The so-called first-level closure measure is the highest level of closure of the villa, which Hugo told me at the time of the handover of work.
Hearing only a "bang", the door of the villa closed automatically, and then there was a mechanical sound of "bang". All the doors and windows of the villa were closed by partitions made of alloy, causing the originally sunny room to suddenly turn into pitch black, and then all the lights in the house were turned on.
Once the first-level closure is opened, it will give me a cannon, and I will not want to leave this villa.
Every corner of the villa is now under the watch, including the bathroom. No wonder as soon as we returned, Hugo gave us half an hour to clean up, which was to take this opportunity to take a shower. If the monitoring is not turned on, everyone's every move will be under the surveillance of others.
Of course, the bathroom is still reserved for our own privacy, otherwise we really don't have any privacy at all.
There's no way around it, and since joining D.R.T., we're no longer on our own. The body and life are all owned by the state, so many things can no longer be left to one's own will. Who let us know too many secrets of this world!
Although it was the first time to experience this kind of lockdown, everyone still behaved calmly and had a meal together. The talk and laughter during the banquet were not affected, but no one mentioned a word about the task.
After eating, everyone went back to their rooms, and Qixing was still injured, so he slept directly in the recovery capsule for the rest of the time.
I had nothing to do when I went back to my room, so I simply covered my head and went to sleep.
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, we all gathered in the hall. After more than ten hours of recovery, Qixing's injuries were mostly healed, and his normal movements were basically not affected.
Each of us didn't have anything else with us except this garment. I knew that when we got to the secret base, we would have to take away our clothes.
The gate opened, and a seven-seater business sedan was parked in the yard, and after we got into the car one after another, the car drove out of the villa and onto the main road. At four o'clock in the morning, there were almost no cars, it was still dark, and the whole city was still asleep.
A short drive away, a large container truck appeared on the roadside on the road. Our car leaned in, and the back door of the container opened, sticking out a stretch plate. The van slowly drove into the container, and then the gate closed with a "clang".
We were plunged into darkness, but soon the lights came on, and with the body shaking slightly, the truck was already moving. I couldn't see the outside in the container, and I felt depressed, so I leaned on the backrest and closed my eyes and took a nap.
The journey was not short, estimated to be four or five hours without stopping. There was no one talking in the van, so I occasionally opened my eyes to look at everyone and saw that they were all lying down in their chairs.
I don't know how long it took, but the car finally stopped. The container door opened, and our car slowly retreated.
It was still dark outside, and I didn't feel much brighter when I came out of the container, but when I looked around, I saw that we were actually in an underground fortification.
This is a very long underground corridor, which is very spacious, and it is estimated that even airplanes can drive in. The container truck that brought us here, put us down, turned around and drove away, and I didn't even see what the driver looked like the driver was driving the car all the while.
Our van waited for five minutes when a sedan came from the direction behind us and stopped not far from us. I saw the car door open, and a person jumped out of it.
Seeing the person's appearance, the four of us in the car were taken aback, but we didn't expect to see Feng Jiutian here.
After Feng Jiu got off the car, he walked straight to our car, pulled the car door and sat up, smiling and waving to us: "Hello! ”
After a few days of not seeing him, I found that Feng Jiutian had changed significantly, and the sharp energy that was originally high above was gone, replaced by a capable color. The most obvious thing is her eyes, which are a little more deep and steady.
After saying hello, Feng Jiutian stopped talking, and the car was quiet again. I wanted to ask her how she was doing at the base, but I didn't say anything when she started to close her eyes.
It seemed that Feng Jiutian was going to join this operation as well, and I couldn't help but wonder why she was summoned. It stands to reason that she is not yet a full member of the D.R.T. and does not have the capacity to participate in such an operation.
After Feng Jiutian came up, our commercial vehicle drove deep into the underground fortifications. I looked at the lights on the side of the tunnel, one by one, quickly passing through my eyes, and began to think about the reason why Feng Jiutian came here.
The car drove until it stopped in front of an oval-shaped heavy stone gate, and after waiting for half a minute, the stone gate slowly rose, and some heavily armed soldiers came out of it, as well as a battery car that looked like a sightseeing car.
A soldier asked us to get out of the car, and then the men and women separated and examined us separately with detectors. After making sure we weren't carrying anything on us, we got into the battery car and headed for the inside of the stone gate. As soon as we entered, we heard the heavy closing of the stone door behind us.
There was still a tunnel inside the stone gate, but it was zigzag, and from time to time we could see soldiers walking in a procession, and other battery cars passing by us.
I've been able to confirm that this is a large, secret underground military base, and by its size, it's likely to be a rocket launch base.
The battery car stopped in front of a gate, and immediately two guards stepped forward and beckoned us to get off. After another full-body test on us, one of the guards opened the door with a portable magnetic card and waved us in.
There were two roads to the left and right, and in front of each of them stood an officer in a military uniform and a white coat, and it was a man and a woman. When he saw us coming, the male officer said to us, "Please come with me!" The female officer continued: "Please come with me!" ”
I first asked An Beimo, Qixing, and Feng Jiutian to follow the female officer in, and then I and Shen Hao walked into the passage with the male officer.
