Chapter 67: Chain of Suspicion

Mira continued her analysis: "Although you have little communication with the headquarters, it can be seen from the last call record that the headquarters has sent three warships to meet you, and according to the current situation, these three warships will not meet you until at least thirty years later. Therefore, the first thing that can be ruled out is that this distress aircraft is not these three rescue warships.

"Secondly, the Celestial Master Headquarters did not inform you that there are other flying machines on the route between you and the other side. So it's certain that this Daming aircraft that sent a distress signal was not sent by the headquarters, unless, the headquarters concealed something from you. ”

"Isn't it, the Heavenly Master is hiding something from me? But why? ”

Mira sneered and said, "Because the Celestial Master Headquarters doesn't trust you. ”

"Don't trust me? I'll go! Why? Well, if you don't trust me, why should you appoint me as the captain of the ship? Summer asked.

"Because you are a descendant of the secret guard, because you have the authorization of Zheng Zu as a descendant of the secret guard. What are the duties of a secret guard? Although it does not have direct command of the entire fleet, it has the right to monitor all officials, and if necessary, directly remove them. Such a position is so eye-catching and intimidating. Therefore, many officials in the Celestial Master's Headquarters, including the Admiral, do not trust you, so why is it strange that they have a grudge against you? ”

"Well, it seems that my position is still very awkward."

"So you have to be cautious in your actions in the future. Well, continuing with the analysis just now," Mira continued, "then the following conclusions can be drawn from the above: the distress signal was sent by a flying machine from the Ming Dynasty, and the sender was a living person, or that he was still a living person at the time of sending, because we do not rule out the possibility that he will die and go into hibernation later."

"The person who sent the distress signal or this group of people, they are from the headquarters of the Great Tomorrow Division. There are two possibilities, the first is that, as we just guessed, he may have been sent by headquarters to spy on us. The second possibility is that he was a defected ship. ”

"Defection? That's right. Why didn't I think of that? "Summer patted on the thighs.

"Now we can roughly determine who the other person is," Mira added, "and now we can start analyzing why he sent the distress signal." ”

"Why?" Xia asked, since the talented woman did her best to help him analyze the problem, then he simply didn't think about it.

"The Greatest Possibility: Resource Depletion!"

"Resource depletion? Why isn't oxygen running out? Why isn't the food running out? Or is there a part that is damaged and cannot fly? ”

"Oh, where did you get so much?" Mira said angrily, "When I say resource depletion, I just say that it is the greatest possibility. Resources include energy and materials, oxygen, food, and depletion are all resources. In summer, have you ever wondered what causes its resources to be depleted? ”

"Why?"

"My Captain Xia, can't you use your own mind?"

"With our female Zhuge here, I don't have to waste brain cells so much."

"Well, you win," Mira sighed and said, "There are many reasons for the depletion of resources, such as the impact of meteorites, which can be ruled out, according to the current technology of the Ming Dynasty, it is completely possible to maneuver to avoid or destroy meteorites." It is also unlikely that an unexpected failure will lead to a leak of resources. There is another possibility, and that is war. ”

"War?"

"Uh-huh, and war is the most likely."

"With whom is he at war?"

Mira said, "There are many possibilities, but in my personal opinion, war between the rebels and the suppressive forces of the Celestial Master's headquarters is the most likely. Mira directly stated the results of her guesses, and did not talk about the analysis process, and only echoed the summer when she said it. This guy is too lazy to think when he has Mira.

Summer straightened out her mind a little and said, "Mira, according to what you said......"

"No, according to our analysis."

"Well, according to our analysis, this distress signal came from a Ming aircraft, it was a rebel spaceship, and it escaped by luck when it was suppressed." Summer concludes with a left post, "Since the closest star system to South Gate II is the solar system, and the solar system has a migratory planet, Earth. So the direction of its retreat naturally chose Earth. As for whether it knew that there were four spacecraft, Daystar and Dawning II, it may or may not know about it.

"The war against repression has caused the ship to seriously deplete a lot of resources, especially energy. He broke down in the place of the day ahead of us. No, not an anchor, he just turned off the power, but still flew by inertia. There are two possibilities for him to know about our existence, one is that they know and the other is that he doesn't, and if the latter is the case, he must have detected us beforehand. Otherwise he wouldn't have sent a distress signal in our direction. Either way, the current situation is that he is already aware of our existence, especially my Dawning II.

So what was his intention in sending a distress signal? Is it really a call for help? Or is it a trap? "After the summer is concluded, the most critical questions are raised.

Wu Ruize, who had been holding back for most of the day, finally said: "We don't know if he is benevolent or malicious. ”

"By the same token, he doesn't know if we're acting in good faith or in bad faith," Mira said. ”

Wu Ruize took over and said: "We don't know if they know whether we are benevolent or malicious. To sum it up: one, we don't know whether they are benevolent or malicious. Two, they don't know if we're in good faith or in bad faith. Three, we don't know if they know if we have good intentions or bad intentions. Fourth, in the same way, they don't know whether we know whether they are good or bad. Fifth, we don't know if they know if we know if they are good or malicious! I'll go, suffocate me. Wu Ruize uttered a large number of classic "chains of suspicion" from Hesse's law that resemble tongue twisters.

"Another chain of suspicion!" Summer exclaimed, "We are one species, one civilization." ”

"The chain of suspicion also fits between two ships." Wu Ruize said, "You all don't know anything about each other, and you don't have a third-party force present. I'm sorry, but you're suspicious of each other. ”

Summer asked, "I'll go, so what should I do now?" ”

"He's an inertial flight, you're an accelerated flight, and even though you have a 17-day flight between you, because you're flying in opposite directions, the range may have to be shortened to eight days," Mira said. These eight days should be enough for us to cope. ”

"Eight days left, so it's time to do something now, right?" Summer asked.

"Call HQ and inform me about this." Mira replied.
