Chapter XII: Dealing with the Ombudsman
After spending hundreds of days in the cargo spacecraft, after inquiring from the wheelhouse, knowing that the cargo spacecraft was far away from Earth and would not encounter other ships shuttling back and forth, Ivan and Wen He got together to discuss how to assemble their wormhole spacecraft in the cargo compartment of the transport spacecraft. Ivan: "It will take some time to assemble the wormhole ship, which is likely to alarm the two overseers, do you think there is any way to avoid attracting the attention of the two of them?" "How long will it take, exactly?" "Except for the break, it's about five days." Ivan thought in his head for a moment. Many times: "Is there a big movement?" Ivan nodded and said: "Actually, there should be no sound, because there is no air in the warehouse now, but in order to facilitate our people to assemble, the cargo hold will be filled with air, so it will inevitably make a sound." And it must be loud at first, you think, you have to remove several large pieces of camouflage, and then you have to push them together again, loud is inevitable. "Well, that's right! Let me think. "I turned my head again and again. Then he got up from his seat and wandered around the room for a while. Many times: "Doctor! You see if this will work, Lao Zhao and I will find a way to pester the two supervisors, and then, take the opportunity to put some sleeping pills in their drinks, so that the next four or five times, it can be delayed for four or five days, if there are too many times, they will inevitably find out. "No matter what method you use, it's done." Ivan affirmed: "But you must control the dosage, and don't let them sleep too long each time." I've heard that they have to be in constant contact with headquarters to report on the safety of the ship, and it's not good if they do. Zhao Li: "This place is already far away from the company's headquarters on Earth, even if it is discovered, what can it do to us?" Ivan accentuated: "It's not what you said, once they find out, they will notify the other ships closest to us to come, you know, each of them has armed personnel on board, or, they may also notify the armed patrol ships to use force against us." KX Company spares no effort to protect its property, and besides, we can't fall out with Ji Ruide and them now, do you think! In case the company finds out that something happens to this spaceship, Ji Ruide will not be able to do anything as the captain. They all have wives and children on earth, and they will not stand on our side when they may be in crisis. To be on the safe side, until we've assembled the wormhole ship and detected the wormhole, it's best not to make any trouble. "Well, you have to be cautious, and you really can't have unnecessary trouble at this moment. So be it! It's up to me and Lao Zhao to liaise with the Ombudsman. He laughed a lot. Do you want to bring our good wine with you this time? "Zhaoli proposed." Bring it, it's just to help with this thing. "Echo it many times." What about drugs? You have? "Hey! It's not easy! There is an infirmary on the ship, and there is only one doctor, one of us pesters the doctor, and the other steals the medicine, and we have to go along with the antidote. "He didn't hesitate at all when he said he was stealing, as if someone else was waiting for him to steal." Antidote? "Zhaoli is puzzled." The drug was put in the wine first, won't you be overturned if you drink it? I see you've been a little confused about what you've been doing lately, are you thinking about your wife's good deeds? "I couldn't say a few words many times, and I made the mistake of ridiculing people again. Zhao Li was not angry, and laughed again: "I don't know who is so exaggerated?" When I was sleeping, the cabin was full of Harazi. "That's what I want to eat!" Zhao Li pouted: "Do you say baby and honey to food?" Duofan and Zhaoli knocked on the door of the inspector's cabin, and both of them had surprised expressions, seeing that it was them, the fat man showed a look of alarm. Many times were not polite, and immediately smiled all over his face, and stretched out his hand to hold the fat man's hand that was reluctant and hesitant: "Hello! The fat man was expressionless: "What's the matter?" Many times: "What can we dare to trouble you two, isn't it too long, we have four pairs of eyes and four faces in the warehouse, and we see familiar faces every day, which feels too boring." How? A few days ago, he called us a teacher, but today! What about Bai Min?" Richard was unhappy. Many times are really a bit old-fashioned, and he has adopted a cheeky strategy of taking the initiative to attack. "And let me introduce myself again?" Many times pretended to be a little angry: "My name is Xia Ming." He pointed to Zhaoli: "His name is Gewen." "What about you?" Hey! Bai Min appeared not far from their side: "What's wrong?" He looked at Richard, and then at Duofan and Zhaoli. It's not polite to go on many times, find a seat and dip it, and fix it simply, and Zhaoli does the same. "You ask him!" Pointing at Richard several times: "I came to you, and he doesn't seem to be very willing!" How to say that we are also a company, usually busy in different positions, even if you want to know each other, you don't have the opportunity to meet the two, since you have boarded this ship, I think this is fate, and don't hide from the two, I still know some people at the top, what do you need me to help with, you just ask. "I'm sorry, I just went to the cab and was slacking off. Richard is also unintentional, there are some things I don't have and he can't make up his mind, hey! There's no way, he's been spoiled by me, and he doesn't want to use his brain to think about anything, so he was offended, the two of them are teachers, can you forgive him! "It's okay! We totally understand. He waved his hand many times: "I brought two bottles of good wine to share with a few people today." With that, he opened the cap. Zhaoli had already taken out the wine glass and said casually: "We are frequent customers, so I won't be polite to you, that's too tiring." Bai Min replied with a light smile: "After knowing each other for a long time, you will know me as a person, and I am also a very easy-going person." Many times the practice is as generous as when we met in this cabin for the first time: "Don't move, there are too many people and it will be chaotic, you just wait for us to put the wine in the wine glass, just take it and suck it." He let the wine from the bottle float in the air, and commanded, "Gewen, they still have food in the cupboard!" Take it out together. Bai Min smiled: "Yes! You're welcome, you can just take what is in the cupboard. Thank you too much! I'm sorry to bother the teacher to serve us students today. "You dare us to go, don't you?" Zhaoli laughed. Bai Min was puzzled: "What did I say?" Many times: "In just a while, you said thank you a few times, that's not to treat us as outsiders!" Bai Min: "Hehe!" It is not easy to put the wine in the glass, because if you move some of it, the rest will be pushed away by the glass in the air, although you are careful when touching. "It's too much trouble." He laughed many times: "If this is on the earth, it will be the end of the matter as soon as it is put into the cup." Yes! Bai Min, doesn't every ship have an artificial gravity device? Why doesn't this ship have? The fat man took a sip of the wine glass: "The company has a rule that in order to control energy consumption, the gravity device cannot be turned on unless it is a special case. Many times smiled: "Oh, I fully understand the company's decision, I am engaged in equipment, usually pay attention to saving when using, in case of special circumstances need to consume more energy, you will be prepared, right?" The fat man nodded: "Yes, that's what the company means." Then, we have to pour them [***] soup many times, what with them we are safer when we go out, what for the future and development of the company, how we originally bowed to the essence, worked overtime, regardless of personal gains and losses, and so on. As he spoke, the four drunkards who hadn't drunk much were all asleep one after another. Wen He leaned against the thin wall and heard that there was no sound inside, so he went in and stuffed the antidote into the mouths of Duofan and Zhaoli, and solved their drug surnames. After four or five days like this, four or five times, Bai Min and the others did not notice it, probably because their tense nerves relaxed under the "friendly" offensive of the two of them many times, in short, the progress was quite smooth. Ivan's side was also finished, but he still repeatedly told him that this was just the beginning, and that he must not let his guard down until he had separated from the cargo ship. Zhao Lihe has used his trump card many times, and he is determined to use one million yuan to buy off Bai Min's deputy Richard, so that this guy can do a little internal response and be ready to serve them at any time, which can be regarded as another insurance. One day, taking advantage of the opportunity for the fat man to go out alone to check, the two took Richard to their own cabin. Of course, it's better to entertain this guy with wine. Many times: "Come on, brother, let's let go of drinking, anyway, there is nothing for entertainment and pastime, how fast can you stay up with such a drink, let's do it." "I don't usually drink," Ivan also accompanied a glass: "I'm happy to see you, I'll make an exception today and have a few drinks with you, your leader is not there, and your wife is not around, so you can relax." After Richard sucked two glasses, he had a big tongue: "Come, come, why do you think Bai Min went, let me tell you, he went to a tryst with the female astronaut, you have to keep it secret!" Don't talk about it. TMD is still free on earth, and you can drink whatever you want. "Why, don't you have a wife?" Repeated questions. Richard patted the arm of his chair: "Who is tm to marry me, an errand boy." Repeatedly put on sympathetic eyes and expressions: "You are still young, there is no need to be in a hurry, when fate comes, a good girl will play hard in your arms!" "Dream, come, come, a few of you, let's have this toast." Ivan: "Come on, do it, Richard, you're still young, do a good job, you have a chance to be promoted, I'll introduce you to my friend's sister, that's a big beauty!" Richard widened his eyes and squinted at Ivan: "Really, give me the big beauty?" Hey, hey, let's talk about it. Ivan: "Why, don't you want to?" Richard hesitated: "Not really. "There are." Richard shook his head, "What a thing!" So what's going on with you. He smiled evilly: "Don't you have a physical problem, right?" Richard said, "Let's keep myself!" Come! Drink. All four froze there for a moment, their minds spinning rapidly, trying to find the question and answer to Richard's words. I just feel it," Richard's head began to sway, his face turned white from red to white, and his eyes began to droop: "Bai Min already knows your details, what the hell is going on, which guy, he won't tell me." "We haven't done anything to be sorry for the company!" Ratted Richard on the shoulder several times: "Is he a little nervous?" Zhaoli: "him, I've always felt that he doesn't seem to trust anyone, you Richard has been working with him for five or six years, according to what you said, I'm afraid it's five or six years, it stands to reason that you are not only his assistant, so long, you should be a friend, but what you just said, I think he not only didn't treat you as a friend, I'm afraid his subordinates can't be counted, hey!" At most, he was just a servant. To be his friend and achieve such a status, my side also feels sorry for you. Zhao Li shook his head: "It's not worth it, it's really not worth it." "But what can I do? Who called him my boss? Richard broke the jar and smashed: "Boss, boss looks like this." "Our boss Jinri is right next to you, and he's not like that to us, is he? Old Xia! Zhao Li was angry when he saw that Richard was willing to fall, so he wanted to stimulate him: "Hey! How did you get up on your feet? "Go back." Originally, on the spaceship, the person was in a state of weightlessness, and Richard drank too much, so his discernment of direction was even worse or not at all, and Zhao Li had to personally send him back to his own cabin. Ivan looked at everyone's facial expressions: "Don't be discouraged, everyone, I expected it a long time ago, no matter how much you hide it, it will eventually be discovered, because the space of this transport ship is too limited, so it is only a matter of time before you show your feet." "You mean it's remedy." The corners of Zhaoli's eyes drooped, looking helpless. Ivan: "So many hurdles have come over, especially some ditches are much more difficult than this, haven't they all survived through everyone's efforts?" I don't believe that two clowns here can do anything to us. Many times: "Yes! So many difficulties have been overcome by us, and we are not afraid to add such a way or two, it is still the same as before, as long as everyone works together to find a way, the problem will definitely be solved. "Tie them up, lock them up, or kill them?" Wen He said and looked at everyone's faces to see if there was any support for him. Ivan waved his hand: "That's not good, they have to get in touch with the headquarters regularly, if they are tied up, it will be troublesome for them to be unable to contact the headquarters." The key is that I don't know how much Bai Min knows about us, and what does he want to do to us? "According to the current situation," he grabbed one end of a transparent plastic pipe many times and played with his big fingers: "I analyze, one, Bai Min doesn't dare to do anything to us now------ there are four of us, and he only has two, and he is at an obvious disadvantage; Two, Captain Ji Ruide is not on his side, I think, he knows that we can get on the ship, there must be a captain to help, and he must have tested Ji Ruide. The third is that he may want to do it when he gets the ship to its destination, where it will be safer and easier for him to attack us when they have enough people, and it will be less likely for us to escape. Zhao Li nodded and said: "I agree with the many analyses, it seems that we can only attack them first when we are still in an advantageous position." "Hmm!" Ivan nodded. Many times: "Before our wormhole detection equipment does not detect wormholes, I think it is better to stabilize those two first." If he doesn't move us, we should know nothing, you see? "That's all there is to it. Once a wormhole is detected, it is better to see what action can be taken. Ivan summed it up. Zhaoli and Duoban are like they don't know anything, and they continue to maintain a "good" relationship with Bai Min and Richard, two KX doglegs. Zhao Li also took a look inside the wormhole spaceship that had been installed and disguised to visit his Eleni and the princess, and told Lu Yuan and Chade that everything was fine outside, and they just had to wait for the opportunity to act, and he didn't say a word about the difficulties they encountered, so as not to worry them unnecessarily. I don't know how long it took to be so bored and worried, until one day Ivan gathered Taban, Zhaoli and Wen He together. Ivan said calmly: "Good news! My scientists have detected a wormhole in the solar system, located below the orbits of Saturn and Uranus, and according to the data we have measured, it has the right amount of energy and size, and now it depends on how our work is going outside. Duo Fan said with some excitement: "Ha, ha, it's finally time for this day, Ivan, we will do what you say." Zhaoli: "Look at you, it's like you're married again, it's no wonder your wife doesn't feel jealous when she sees you like this." Zhao Li learned his wife's tone: "How old and old, what is worthy of your pleasure, let's listen to it?" "Aren't you happy that this dream can come true?" Ignoring Zhaoli's strange tone many times, Gu Zi said with a smile. "I'm happy, but I'm not as exaggerated as you, it's strange if you don't jump high on the earth." Ivan smiled and said, "Okay! Don't argue, don't be too happy, we still have some things that haven't been done, how to get out of this transport ship is a matter! "Isn't that easy? Are we four scientists afraid that we can't deal with two spies with developed limbs? Besides, they are not spies with developed limbs, at most they are just two thieves with bright eyes. Many times said disapprovingly. Ivan: "You have to think well, and it's better not to make mistakes." During the period when we didn't finally approach the wormhole, safety came first. "That's how I think about it." Approached Ivan many times: "Didn't I see the navigation chart of Ji Ruid, the navigation chart shows that the transport ship must fly past Saturn, and the navigation chart is designed to use the gravitational pull of Jupiter to reduce the energy consumption of the transport spacecraft, and this is the time." I also asked Ji Ruide that when the transport ship flew over Jupiter, there was a period of time when the side facing the Earth would be blocked by Jupiter, which was the largest of the eight planets in the solar system, which would cause a period of communication blind spots. At this point, we tied up the two inspectors and locked them up, and we did whatever we wanted to do with the rest, just run away. Do you think it's possible? Ivan had a questioning expression: "Even if you turn your back to Earth, you have to be very close to Jupiter to form a blind spot, do you know why?" "I know that electromagnetic waves have a diffraction function. Ji Ruide said that in order to save costs, the company must follow the navigation chart. With such a proximity to a huge planet, and countless pieces of rubble, ice, and dozens of Jupiter's moons around it, they didn't care about all these dangers, and it seemed that they were quite confident in the capabilities of their ship. At this point, he complained, he had to be brace his spirits, just in case something went wrong and he was hit by rocks, ice or gravitationally sucked into his near-Earth orbit, and then, what would happen then, he had nothing to say. "Hmm! Let me think about it. "Ivan is the mastermind, and he has to think it through before he can act. Ivan remained silent, they didn't bother him anymore, they understood how much pressure he had to endure at this critical juncture, as the commander-in-chief that everyone had already tacitly acquiesced to. I'm afraid this pressure is even greater than him building a spaceship, because building a spaceship is his lifelong hobby and pursuit, and doing what he likes to do is pressure and motivation at the same time, but now, it is dealing with people, and the pressure is only pressure, and this pressure will not be transformed into other forces. Even from the perspective of specific personal surnames, for a person who is often accompanied by machines, pressure will not become motivation, but on the contrary, the pressure of dealing with people will increase with the changing interpersonal environment. About an hour later. "After thinking about it, I think it's better to do it early." Ivan slowly said his thoughts: "One is that after the wormhole spacecraft is built, only data simulation is carried out, and in order to really complete it, it must be actually flight tested, which will take time. Second, I don't know how much the Ombudsman knows about us and how to deal with us, so I also want to start as soon as possible and feel at ease. Third, the detected wormhole needs to be further observed, and a lot of tests must be carried out on the wormhole spacecraft's function of passing through the wormhole, which cannot be carried out on the transport spacecraft, and there must be a certain amount of time and space. Let's do what we've discussed, and you can do it a few more times. He clenched his fists many times: "I can finally get busy again, and the idle people panicked some time ago." Doctor, just listen to the two of us! Recently, Zhao Li and Duo often went to Ji Ruide's command cockpit to inquire about the situation of entering Jupiter's near Earth, and fourteen days later, the transport spacecraft approached Jupiter according to the established route. There were seven or eight seats in the command cab, which was full of personnel from all positions, and it was obvious that they were busy, and no one wanted to chat with them many times. Ji Ruide had a serious expression, stared at the various data on the screen in front of him without blinking, and said to the radar rangefinder: "Raleigh, how long is there." Raleigh: "Twenty hours and thirteen minutes." Ji Ruide also said to the correspondent: "Kaba, now inform the (Earth) command and control center, it is expected that we will enter the orbit on the far side of Jupiter in twenty hours, and the communication will be interrupted, please wait for a while and contact us again." Kaba: "Yes." After speaking, his hand entered the data on the keyboard, and then to the headset: "Command center, I am KY--534, I am KY--534, we are about to enter the orbit of Jupiter in twenty hours, and communication will be suspended for a while." Everything is safe, normal, and done at the moment. ”
