Chapter 2 Opening the Future 4
Dr. Aaron and Grove were staring at Dr. Hawking on the screen in front of the video call and asked if there had been an accident while traveling, only to be met by Dr. Hawking who said they didn't feel anything other than the one they described during the time trip.
Regarding the 10-minute extension of the shuttle time, Dr. Aaron and Dr. Hawking agreed that it was due to the fact that the Future research ship was larger than the space fighter.
In other words, the larger the shuttle object, the longer it will take. Just as Dr. Hawking bragged to Dr. Aron and Grove about his successful shuttle, the commander in charge of piloting the warship reported to Hawking the death of a crew member, and the three on either side of the screen immediately stopped teasing each other.
Dr. Hawking immediately asked for an autopsy to find out the exact cause of the crew's death, but the commander was embarrassed and said, "Dr. Hawking, we have only the necessary pilots and operators on the Future, and there are no scientists who can perform the autopsy."
Only then did Dr. Hawking remember that for safety, except for his accident, none of the researchers followed the Future.
Grove said at this time: Put the dead crew members into the space emergency cabin, and then Xingtian will drive the fighter to bring the emergency cabin back to the Ark through shuttle.
The Mirai commander immediately went to deliver the order. After the Commander of the Future left, the three of them were silent for a moment, and finally Dr. Aaron spoke first: "I don't think the death of the crew is necessarily related to the Stargate, let's not worry too much now, we will start investigating as soon as Xingtian brings the body back."
Hawking will stay where you are and wait until the investigation report comes out, and I will inform you of the results of the investigation as soon as possible.
You'll also want to reassure the crew of the Future. Dr. Hawking nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
After the call between the three of them, Dr. Aaron returned to the laboratory and began to gather researchers in related specialties to wait for the corpse to be transported back for examination.
Xing Tian piloted a fighter plane to bring back the space emergency warehouse containing the remains of the dead crew members back to the Ark, and the researchers immediately conducted an examination and analysis under the command of Dr. Aaron, and soon the conclusion came out.
The crew member who died was caused by excessive psychological pressure during the shuttle, and if it could be dealt with in time, the crew member might not have died, but it was the first time for everyone to shuttle, and their attention was on themselves, so no one noticed the abnormality of the crew member, which eventually led to death.
Dr. Hawking also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the investigation report. Grove explained the incident to all personnel through a public broadcast throughout the fleet, and ordered that in the future, if anyone feels unwell, they should immediately install the emergency alarm button at their posts so that others can know about it and prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
After several days of repeated arguments, the three finally decided that all the warships of the Ark fleet that had not been shuttled should be shuttled in the order of rescue ships, supply ships, and the flagship of the Ark.
Forty-eight hours after each ship had finished sailing, a second ship was sailing to ensure safety, and the plan was carried out immediately.
The pilots and commanders of the warships immediately moved into action without preparing for the shuttle. 5 hours after the order was issued, the first rescue ship began to shuttle.
It wasn't until the Ark's flagship shuttle was completed that the members of the entire Ark fleet put down their hearts. When they all calmed down, they noticed that not far from the fleet, a huge red planet was there to quietly welcome them.
Mars is right in front of them, this is their destination, and where another battle begins.
Although it is not far away, the actual distance between Mars and the fleet is still 200,000 kilometers, because it is so huge, although it is smaller than the Earth, but people have not seen the Earth up close for a long time, and their current reference is the moon, so it feels like Mars is very big.
Grove was also very excited when he saw this spectacular scene, but he immediately regained his composure, and immediately gave an order for all the ships to stop moving forward, and the fleet personnel to rest according to the holiday, the whole period of rest was 240 hours, or 10 days of Earth time, during which no one was allowed to leave their ships.
Xingtian looked at Mars through the huge porthole, and he knew that after the recuperation period, they would be met with harsh circumstances and unknown conditions.
The first human landing on Mars is about to begin.
