"Is our first operation over?"

"Well, it's over."

This is the failure of one drum to be unsuccessful.

With one, there will be two, with two there will be three, with three there will be more, is it just from nothing? Therefore, when there is one, people will subconsciously look at the next time, and with the next time, they will look forward to more times.

So, when Su Ruyu and Lu An's spaceship took off in front of the warship, they were still just cruising in place, staring at the patrol boat closely.

Three hours later, the patrol boat reached its maximum speed and flew around the asteroid, but perhaps due to the military deterrence of the warship, the patrol boat only kept rotating around the asteroid and did not dare to go straight to Mars.

A patrol boat with a diameter of 8,000 kilometers and a speed of 300,000 kilometers per hour can make a circle in 10 minutes, and within three hours of taking off, the patrol boat has circled more than a dozen times, just like a poor dog that circles around a door but cannot enter.

It's just that the patrol boat wants to get out.

Sure enough, the spaceship gradually slowed down and landed, still landing in the same place as before, lying quietly on the rock face of the asteroid, and with the rotation of the asteroid, it entered the "day" again.

Such habits of action are like those of a beast that emerges from the day and the night.

The rotation of asteroid 273 is like a never-ending time, round and round, from the beginning of the ancient period of the solar system to the present, day and night.

On Earth, this rotation is time, a day is 24 hours, and 365 days is a year.

Isn't that time?

Where the patrol boat landed, the day passed, and then the night ushered in again, and with the cold that plummeted by more than 200 degrees, the patrol boat once again took off into the air.

This time, the patrol boat seemed to have a resolute force, and after circumnavigating the asteroid five times, the patrol boat accelerated to its maximum speed and plunged headlong into the vast space headlong towards the earth at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per hour.

The anti-smuggling team, which had been watching from the sidelines, was still watching coldly this time, as if waiting for the embarrassment of the patrol boat's retreat.

However, six hours passed, and the patrol boat disappeared from the surveillance range of the warship, and the situation seemed to have become something wrong.

The warship, which was still cruising at a constant speed, suddenly stopped, and after ten minutes, it suddenly started again, bypassed asteroid 273, flew to the side of the Earth's course, and then hovered quietly.

Perhaps, they wanted to get closer, wait for the patrol boat to come back and catch up directly, lean over and capture the fleeing ship, and end the cat-and-mouse game.

However, even in this process, they did not dare to pass directly through the vicinity of the asteroid, after all, with the huge engine power of the warship, the gravitational pull of the asteroid was actually completely intimidating. However, the warship of the anti-smuggling team still carefully circled an arc about 20,000 miles in diameter to the other side of the asteroid.

After hovering quietly for more than an hour on the side of the asteroid facing the sun, the warship finally realized a problem, isn't this spacecraft really going to fly through the orbit of Mars to Earth?

Something is wrong! If the order issued by the commander himself cannot even be handled in such a trivial matter, how can these border inspection brigades of the anti-smuggling squad have the face to think very highly of themselves among the anti-smuggling smuggling squads and have a superior priority status?

So, as if it had been kicked in the ass, the warship of the Third Border Inspection Brigade of the Anti-Smuggling Team jumped out at that time, reached the limit speed of the warship in the blink of an eye, and chased after the disappearance of the patrol boat just now.

At this time, in the vast space ahead, Su Ruyu and Lu An's patrol boats were also speeding at extreme speed.

"Did they catch up?"

"Nope."

Lu An suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Huh——! That way, I'm halfway there......"

"We succeeded this time?"

"Heh, sort of, but I didn't say it, only half of the success, and the other half is not something we can control, we can only see when the group of guys in the back wake up." Lu An shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although, from the very beginning of his studies at the Third Military Academy, Lu An was taught that war was largely a gamble determined by luck.

If he can't accept the existence of luck and wants everything to go according to plan, he should stay as far away from the war as possible, and if such a fool does not get out, then the people around him will be unlucky because of such stubbornness. What else can be bad luck in war, that is, the price of blood and life!

"A nail is missing, a horseshoe is lost; lost a horseshoe and broke a warhorse; Broke a war horse and lost a king; Lost a king, lost a war; Lost a war, lost an empire. ”

This is the "poetry" of antiquity that the teacher who taught battlefield intelligence analysis once quoted.

"This story is a long time ago, when humans were still riding animals, wielding wood or metal to fight, well, what is a horseshoe? To make an analogy, it's like the adiabatic layer of a spaceship engine. Well, if any of you have ever seen a horse with your own eyes, you can understand it by touching its hooves. The story told in this poem is actually very absurd, what does an iron nail have to do with the fall of the empire? War has always been only a catalyst. Well, let's look at it the other way around, if that king's horse hadn't lost its horseshoe, wouldn't the empire have perished? It's like in the last war, if the commander-in-chief's ship disintegrated not after the decisive battle of Lagrange, but before the war was over, would the outcome of the last war be changed? After all, on the battlefield, no one has ever been sure that a hit spaceship will disintegrate, right? ……”

"Students, in short, people who don't believe in luck on the battlefield are like the former commander-in-chief of the Martian fleet, he doesn't believe in the luck of the commander-in-chief, and as a result, he was ruthlessly tricked by this luck, hehe! However, I also have a little bit of the so-called military motto for you, and I hope you will remember in the future that there is always luck on the battlefield, and it is your own bad luck......"

It seems that this time, Lu An's luck is not bad, at least at this moment, he thinks so.

"The second time, why don't we just fly away like we do now?"

Probably confirming that the chase in the rear had disappeared for the time being, Su Ruyu also breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lu An.

"The second time, in fact, I also wanted to fly away directly, but at that time, ......" Lu An frowned and recalled, and said: "Although I only decided by intuition at that time, but now that I think about it, at that time, the circular cruising speed of that warship was actually improving, and I was probably not sure of our movements, although we didn't directly bypass the asteroid, but we were also on guard, so we had to pretend to be stupid." ”

"Then this time ......"

Lu An sighed and said: "We and that warship are both gambling, both sides are playing games to guess each other's movements, although we temporarily have the asteroid shelter, but we don't know how long we can rely on it, not to mention that the other party is much faster than us after all, as long as we are seen through once, this scene will never be able to go on again." When we didn't succeed the second time, we should have waited at least until the fifth time before running, at least to make sure that we were struggling with the trapped beasts......"

"Then why not wait until that time to run?"

Lu An smiled bitterly again: "We actually don't have any confidence, I'm also afraid!" Playing with fire is too much, and there will be no chance to fight at that time. ”

Su Ruyu thought about it, and couldn't sigh and agree with Lu An's opinion.

"So, I'm still curious about what is so special about this asteroid number 273 that makes that warship stop from patrolling, and it doesn't even dare to shoot a shot from a distance."

Su Ruyu bit her lip lightly and shook her head.

Lu An continued: "Seriously, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, I seem to have really heard of this asteroid, but I can't remember the source at all, cough, it's really ......, there are so many asteroids in this space, and this 273 asteroid must have something special to be mentioned, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have this impression." ”

"Tsk, forget it if you can't think of it, anyway, even if you don't think about it when you should remember, it will always jump into your mind, and the more obsessed you are about to recall, it will cover the original memory channel in your brain, so you can't remember it even more."

In this regard, Su Ruyu is very experienced, so she comforted Lu An.

"Okay." Lu An nodded, and then said: "Well, it's been almost ten hours, I hope that those stupid people haven't reacted at this time, so that in another day, we can really say goodbye to them completely." ”

During this time, it seems that the bad luck before is gradually improving, Lu Anxin judged.

Of course, as he expected, his luck was indeed improving.

A day later, Lu An was even more convinced of his judgment.

After all, it was extremely lucky to be able to stumble and drift back to asteroid 273 with an engine that almost lost power in the final stages. As long as there is half a mistake, he and Su Ruyu will stay in space forever, floating in space, turning into cosmic dust.

Of course, this is still thanks to the shelter of the 273 asteroid, and at about 20,000 kilometers, the warship really stopped all actions again, and it was only the last minute to kill Su Ruyu and Lu An, but it stopped strangely.

"You've guessed it again!"

Su Ruyu sat directly in the driver's seat from the driver's platform, squeezed into the same seat as Lu An, leaning against each other.

"Hehe, I guessed the beginning and the end, but this process ......" The smile on Lu An's face at this time was even more ugly than crying.

"I finally escaped back, if you hadn't made a quick decision, we wouldn't have been able to hold out at this last minute......"

Su Ruyu leaned on Lu An motionlessly, letting the sweat on her body flow.

"Still, the plan failed, alas—"

"It's no wonder you, after all, who would have thought that those bastards could be so crazy and soar the speed of the warship directly to 500,000 kilometers per hour, it's just deadly...... cough, cough, cough-"

When Lu An heard this, a wry smile immediately appeared on his face.

So, should I say that I am lucky, or that I am unlucky?
