In the vastness of space, losing your way is the most dangerous thing. Here, it is pitch black from the front and back, left and right, and all of it is an unchanging starry sky, and without the assistance of the instrument, you will not have the slightest chance of survival.

Because of the fuel constraints carried by the spacecraft, the orbit of the spacecraft must be set very precisely, so even if you can see the sun, it is not feasible to navigate the spacecraft by looking at the sun, because the visual error is too large, and in such a voyage, the waste of fuel caused by frequent orbit adjustments alone can kill a spacecraft.

Disorientation and running out of fuel are the most common dilemmas encountered by adventurer ships that travel to Jupiter without permission. In this case, they will generally send broadcasts in the general direction of the earth, and if these broadcasts are received by the earth, they can also get some help to return to the earth, but due to the limited signal strength and the lack of cooperation from the ground base, those signals are often not detected by the earth. It's all a matter of chance.

Adventurer Rescue is one such non-profit organization. After receiving a report from the adventurer who has encountered danger, the adventurer rescue organization will try to contact the adventurer and provide them with professional advice on ship maintenance and location determination to help them return to Earth.

Now, there is such an unlucky ghost who sent a message in the direction of the earth, and then it happened to be received by Zhao Lan.

"You're lucky to have met me." Zhao Lan thought lightly, and after inquiring about the contact information of the adventurer's rescue organization, he forwarded this information there, and attached the approximate location and frequency of the signal.

Also because of the limitation of signal strength, it is unrealistic for Zhao Lan to directly contact the ship that has encountered danger. Zhao Lan was able to receive this signal because of a coincidence, but the adventurer probably wasn't lucky enough to receive Zhao Lan's reply. Adventurer Rescue Organization is different, where there are professionals and specialized equipment to deal with such things.

"We have received your message, and on behalf of our Adventurer Rescue Organization, I would like to thank you for your support and cooperation with our organization. Because of your help. It is possible that the adventurer will eventually return to Earth without incident, and your act of kindness may have saved a life. ”

The reply from the Adventurer's Rescue Organization soon came, and Zhao Lan put the matter behind him and didn't pay too much attention to it. The human government has repeatedly decreed that adventurers are strictly forbidden to embark on space adventures without permission. And it is made clear that it will not help anyone who violates the ban on space adventures, and those who still insist on going on adventures and encounter danger in such a situation have to say that there is a deliberate sense of seeking death. Helping them contact the Adventurer Rescue Organization can already be regarded as doing their duty.

The prohibition of "no help" by the human government may seem cruel, but it has a very reasonable balance of interests. Because if the human government helps the adventurers, then the adventurers who are not determined to be determined to take risks will also be determined to take risks, which will inevitably lead to more resource expenditure. and lead to more adventurers dying in space. And if you declare "no help" in advance, then the number of people who will eventually choose to continue to do space adventures will be much smaller, and in this way, the human government will reduce the waste of resources, and the number of people who will die in space because of the adventure will be greatly reduced. Therefore, from the perspective of interests, this provision is very reasonable.

During the following journey, Zhao Lan continued to receive the same distress message five times. Zhao Lan's spaceship is also moving forward at high speed, and it can be said that it is a coincidence that it receives a distress signal by chance, and it is a little incomprehensible to receive the same signal five times in a row. So Zhao Lan contacted the Adventurer Rescue Organization again, but he didn't wait for Zhao Lan to speak. The message from the Adventurer's Rescue Organization came to Zhao Lan first: "I'm sorry to disturb you again, Ms. Zhao Lan, may I ask, are you sure that the signal you forwarded to us is a distress signal from the adventurer received from the depths of the universe, and not your prank?" You claim that you have received five distress signals, but we have used a professional high-power communication antenna to aim in the direction you described, and we have not received any messages during this time. ”

The personnel and equipment in the adventurer rescue organization are all professional, and they can even use three giant antennas with a diameter of eighteen meters to receive radio signals, and the antennas on Zhao Lan's Sylvia spaceship are naturally impossible to compare with them. Then, if Zhao Lan can receive the signal. There's no reason why the Adventurer Rescue Organization can't receive a signal.

Zhao Lan was almost laughed at by the message sent by the Adventurer Rescue Organization. Zhao Lan replied in a very bad tone: "Do you look like I am a person who likes to use pranks to trick others? ”

The message sent by the Adventurer Rescue Organization was still very humble: "Sorry, we didn't mean that, we just want to reconfirm the information with you. We at Adventurer Rescue are just a non-profit organization, and we have limited funding. With limited manpower, we can't afford to waste resources where they don't make sense. ”

"Then it's up to you." Zhao Lan replied angrily, "Anyway, I have fulfilled my obligations as a member of the human race, and it has nothing to do with me what happens next." ”

This time, the reply from the Adventurer Rescue Organization came quickly: "Ms. Zhao Lan, thank you for your cooperation and support for our work, and I wish you a happy life." ”

Communication was then cut off. The Adventurer Rescue Group was never heard from again.

But at this time, that ghostly distress signal was received by Zhao Lan again: "This is the Yuanwang spaceship...... I need help. ”

Zhao Lan frowned very unhappily, and then ignored this message. Then, ten minutes later, this distress message appeared again.

"Maybe one of the adventurers is in danger." Zhao Lan thought like this, "This is a life after all, so I should not be too rash." ”

Thinking like this, Zhao Lan once again forwarded this message to the adventurer rescue organization.

In the next two hours, Zhao Lan received four more distress signals, and after the fourth distress signal, the reply from the adventurer rescue organization finally arrived. The difference is that this time the tone of the reply has become quite unpolite: "Ms. Zhao Lan, we thank you very much for your trust in us, but please don't bother us with some pranks, okay?" Our staff are exhausted from the long and high load of work, they are all volunteers, all of them volunteer to work with us without pay, and then they help adventurers while dealing with pranksters like you, if you still have a little sympathy, please put an end to your boring behavior, I thank you on behalf of all the staff at the Adventurer Rescue Center! ”

No matter how well-cultivated a person is, I am afraid that he will be furious when he encounters such an interrogation. The same is true for Zhao Lan. But before Zhao Lan could refute it, the communication had already been cut off. Zhao Lan tried to re-establish the information contact, but was rejected by the Adventurer Rescue Organization.

Zhao Lan knew that he had probably been added to the communication blacklist by them, and he had become an undesirable person for the Adventurer Rescue Organization.

Zhao Lan gave up the idea of continuing to contact them with some stupidity, but at this moment, that ghostly distress signal appeared again in the communication station of the Sylvia spaceship.

Zhao Lan finally determined that this was probably really a prank. It must have been some whimsical, ingenious harasser who came up with a new idea to talk to him. And he was used by him to act as a fool with the Adventurer Rescue Organization. So the anger in Zhao Lan's heart couldn't be held back any longer, and Zhao Lan said very unceremoniously: "Sir, please respect yourself!" Please don't bother me again, I've been blacklisted by the Adventurer Rescue Organization for your sake! ”

If he were a smart man, he would probably be able to decipher a lot of information from this sentence. This passage clearly shows that Zhao Lan has contacted the Adventurer Rescue Organization many times, and the Adventurer Rescue Organization must not have received Fang Cai's distress message. That's why the Adventurer Rescue Organization added Zhao Lan to the blacklist, so Zhao Lan thought it was just a prank.

Zhao Lan didn't expect her information to be received by the other party. The reason why I did this was purely to vent the anger in my heart. But it was very strange that Zhao Lan received an answer after a communication delay.

Zhao Lan took a look, and the interval between the two pieces of information was one minute and forty seconds, which meant that the distance between that information source and himself would not exceed fifteen million kilometers at most. And based on Zhao Lan's current position, the location of that information source must be within the orbit of Mars. And since that source of information is in orbit around Mars...... Then, what he said earlier about getting lost on the way to Jupiter is clearly a lie.

Therefore, the anger in Zhao Lan's heart was even stronger. However, the content of this newly received piece of information made Zhao Lan fall into even greater doubts.

"Excuse me...... Are you human? (To be continued.) )
