In the late autumn of 2013, deep in the northwest desert, the yellow sand was vast and the sky was blue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the rolling sea of sand, a rocket stands vertically on the launch stand, pointing straight at the sky like an arrow.

The white arrow is printed with several large red characters: Divine Arrow 1088.

On the top of the rocket is a spacecraft codenamed 1088.

Mo Yun sat in the cockpit of the spaceship, his body held in place by the seat belt in a streamlined seat, his hands firmly grasping the armrests of the seat.

He has a shaved face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and is handsome in the sun, and he is the captain of this spaceship.

It was his 999th flight into space. After the flight, his superiors decided to let him stay on the ground and prepare for the construction of a ground space flight training center, with him as the chief instructor, to train more astronauts with his actual combat experience.

Prior to this, the Northwest Space Agency had never had a systematic training center, so the overall leadership attached great importance to the construction of the center, believing that it represented the future direction of the country's aerospace industry and was of great strategic significance.

All the work of the training center, including scientific research, logistics, organization, management, and so on, must be carried out around the chief instructor, and the chief instructor should be the core, so the selection of the chief instructor is very crucial.

Mo Yun is not only a double doctor of Cambridge and Harvard, but also the astronaut with the longest space flight time in the Northwest Space Agency and even the whole of Asia.

In other words, being able to obtain the position of chief instructor is not only a great honor, but also an unshirkable responsibility of a person with a patriotic spirit.

Mo Yun is undoubtedly a patriot, but he is used to flying around in the sky, and he doesn't particularly like the rigid life in the training center, but for the needs of the country, he still tries to convince himself and accept reality.

"This is the last time I go to heaven. ”

Mo Yun looked at everything in the cockpit intently, and said this to himself in his heart, his eyes showing a strong sense of reluctance.

There was a female astronaut sitting next to him, with clear eyebrows, skin better than snow, and a pair of eyes that were big and bright, very charming. Especially her slender figure, even the silver spacesuit can't hide her charm.

This female astronaut's name is Zi Ling, who has only graduated from university for less than a year, and is a standard post-90s generation, who was selected as the first female astronaut to go to space because of her excellent talent and outstanding business skills.

In the eyes of news reporters, she is peerless, ice and snow smart, and even those stars who are known as goddesses are unmatched, praising her as a contemporary Chang'e, a real fairy.

However, in the eyes of the experts at the Northwest Space Agency, she was still just a cadet who had achieved good results in ground training, and her results were just a string of numbers obtained in the ground mock test. In other words, she has not really been in space, has not been tested in actual combat, and is still a rookie.

In order to allow this excellent rookie to quickly transform into a qualified astronaut and open the era of female astronauts of the Northwest Space Agency, the organization requires Mo Yun to carry forward the revolutionary traditional spirit of passing on the help and using this space mission to teach her his unique skills without reservation, so that she can grow up quickly.

After Mo Yun became Zi Ling's mentor, he found that Zi Ling's thinking was very active, and sometimes, it was even so active that it was a headache.

"Captain, you don't seem to be in shape!"

Zi Ling looked at the stunned Mo Yun and laughed.

Mo Yun was stunned for a moment, immediately came back to his senses, and said solemnly: "It is strictly forbidden to speak before the spaceship takes off. ”

Zi Ling nodded his fingers on the armrest of the seat, looked at Mo Yun, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Captain, you yourself are in Cao Ying's heart and Han, I am kind enough to remind you." ”

"If you're bored, recite the flight rules ten times. Mo Yun said with a straight face.

"Captain, can you be gentle, this is the first time for people to go to the sky on a mission?" Zi Ling said with a crying voice.

"Conscientiously carry out orders, there is nothing gentle that is not gentle. Mo Yun said expressionlessly.

"It's the first time people go to heaven, and I'm very nervous. Can you tell us more about the precautions when the ship takes off?"

"Didn't you already tell you about it?"

"Ah...... It seems like...... Yes, I did. That...... May I ask you a question?"

"You ask. Mo Yun nodded. Many people have psychological disorders for the first time, and maintaining a limited dialogue with her can help relieve her psychological pressure.

"Captain, you ......" Zi Ling looked at Mo Yun with a scrutinizing gaze, and stopped talking.

Mo Yun felt that her tone was a little strange, and turned his head to look at her.

"What, is this question directed at me?"

"Hmm...... Yes. ”

"What's the problem, you say. ”

"I want to ask...... You...... Do you have a girlfriend?" Zi Ling finished speaking, staring at Mo Yun's face with a pair of apricot eyes, as if he wanted to see through Mo Yun at a glance.

Although Mo Yun is the leader of this spaceship and the mentor of Zi Ling, they are all young people in the end, and they are almost the same age, so Zi Ling is more casual when he talks to him.

"Ahh Mo Yun said angrily, "Where did you memorize your flight charter?"

The corners of Zi Ling's mouth twitched, and he said disdainfully: "Hmph, forget it if you don't say it, open your mouth and close your mouth to use the flight charter to suppress people." ”

Mo Yun said solemnly: "According to Article 1, Item 1 of the flight regulations, before the spacecraft takes off, it is forbidden to speak, and it is even more forbidden to talk about private matters. ”

Zi Ling grinned and said with some ruffianism: "There is absolutely no prohibition on talking, and there is absolutely no prohibition on talking about private matters." ”

"Qubble!" Mo Yun glared.

Zi Lingyun smiled and said, "Captain, you are the number one astronaut of the Northwest Space Agency, and your personal problems are not a private matter, but an official matter of the entire Space Agency." ”

Mo Yun was silent for a few seconds, then softened his tone and said, "Don't talk about this now." ”

However, before his words fell, Zi Ling asked, "Why, is it difficult to answer the question of whether you have a girlfriend or not?"

Indeed, the question is not complicated, it is only necessary to answer "yes" or "no".

Mo Yun was obviously choked by her words, and after a while, he replied expressionlessly, "No." ”

Zi Ling's eyes lit up, and he smiled like a silver bell: "Captain, you seem to be very disappointed when you look at your expression." In fact...... You...... You can consider the one next to you. ”

Mo Yun's expression froze, "Who is this next to you?"

Zi Ling pointed at himself, his face slightly red, "Who else, me." Do you treat people like air?"

Mo Yun was stunned and blamed: "Ghost girl, there is a price to pay for molesting the leader, beware of me knocking you." ”

"Why, am I not pretty?" said Zi Ling in amazement.

"Hee, ghost girl, let me tell you, the walkie-talkie is on, and the ears of those brothers in the ground command center are also pricked up. ”

"Hmph, who told you to treat me like air?" Zi Ling said dissatisfiedly.

Mo Yun's face was slightly gloomy, "Let's complete the tasks assigned by our superiors together, take off safely, and return safely." Where does the air come from?"

"People want to fly in the sky with you for a month, and if you don't give you some warmth, teach others how to live?"

Mo Yun didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense, and quipped, "Why do you want to give you warmth? You're not my wife." His tone was teasing, but the expression on his face was still serious.

"It's the first time for someone. Zi Ling muttered dissatisfiedly.

Mo Yun's face was stunned, "Girl, please make it clear, it looks like I'm taking advantage of you." ”

Two clouds of red glow flew on Zi Ling's face, "You...... What are you talking about?"

"Is that the first time you've said it yourself?" Mo Yun said with an innocent face.

"Huh?!...... You're a big badass. Zi Ling even blushed at the root of his ears.

"Well, that's just right, men aren't bad, women don't love. "This time it's Mo Yun's turn to be the anti-guest.

"I ...... I...... That's not what it means. ”

......

The serious and sonorous voice of the commander-in-chief of the ground command center came, and the conversation between the two was immediately interrupted.

"Attention to the Divine Arrow 1088 spaceship, now enter the ignition procedure and start the countdown. ”

Ignition!

Boom -

A huge puff of white smoke erupted from the bottom of the rocket, followed by a huge fireball, a dazzling cloud of blue flames.

The force of the impact made everyone's feet tremble, as if the whole earth had been shaken.

Whew――

The rocket soared and flew towards the vastness of the universe.

Everyone in the ground command center held their breath, listening to the loud roar of the rocket rubbing against the air, and looking at the giant display on the wall.

On the giant display, the rocket climbs rapidly, gradually shrinks, and finally disappears into the clouds.

Everyone's eyes moved to the computer in front of them, staring at the changes in the data on the computer.

Ten minutes later, the rocket flew out of the atmosphere and the spacecraft went into space.

At present, the ground command center can no longer effectively control the spacecraft, and can only rely on the astronauts to operate on their own in the sky, correct the direction and attitude of the spacecraft, and send the spacecraft into the predetermined orbit.

This is the most testing moment for astronauts, and even one in 10,000 mistakes will make the spacecraft unable to enter orbit.

The time to correct the ship was only five minutes. If the spacecraft does not enter the predetermined orbit according to the predetermined plan within five minutes, it will remain in endless space forever.

The atomic clock on the wall of the ground command center ticked and turned.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and even their breathing slowed down.

Five minutes had finally passed, and the hall of the command center was filled with voices one after another.

Telemetry is normal.

Signal transmission is normal.

The flight parameters are normal.

......

As these voices fell, everyone's hearts gradually returned to calm.

"The spacecraft has arrived at the designated position and is starting to operate normally. ”

The commander-in-chief's strong and powerful voice spread to every corner of the command center, but everyone did not stop their work, still monitoring the flight data transmitted back by the spacecraft in a timely manner, and making precise calculations, so that the hall of the command center still showed a busy scene.

At the design speed, the 1088 spacecraft will orbit the Earth at a second cosmic speed of 11.2 kilometers per second, and will reappear on the giant display in the command center after 90 minutes.

The 90 minutes passed quickly, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on the big screen.

However, the 1088 spacecraft did not appear as expected. This came as a surprise and even a shock to everyone.

How so?

What's going on?

Is there something wrong with timing?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a bewildered face.

The Commander-in-Chief looked at the atomic clock on the wall.

The atomic clock can be accurate to 10,000 years without missing a minute and a second, and even if people all over the world are wrong, he will not be wrong.

Now his hands have jumped to the 91-minute scale, which means that the time is still that time, and there is no problem.

Since there is no problem with time, it is an indisputable fact that there is a problem with the spacecraft.

"Maybe the spaceship slowed down and broke down halfway, so everyone wait. The commander-in-chief said this sentence as if comforting himself, and couldn't wait to pick up the Tiandi intercom to call the 1088 spacecraft.

He didn't call Mo Yun's code name according to the regulations, but called him by his name for the first time.

"Mo Yun, I'm the ground command center of the Northwest Space Agency, please answer when you hear it. ”

The same words were shouted three times in a row, and only a burst of blind tones came from the other end of the microphone.

Obviously, the commander-in-chief's string of voices was swallowed up by the vast universe.

The atomic clock kept ticking, and everyone's hearts hung in the air, racking their brains to think about whether something similar had happened before.

The answer, of course, is no, and this situation is unprecedented.

When the hour hand of the atomic clock pointed to the second 90 minutes, the spacecraft was still nowhere to be seen.

The commander-in-chief had to report the emergency to his superiors and request the Northwest Aerospace Integrated Satellite Radar Monitoring Center to assist in finding the whereabouts of the 1088 spacecraft.

The satellite radar monitoring center checked all the aircraft in the sky as quickly as possible, but it is a pity that No. 1088 never appeared.

Where the hell did it go?

Everyone was puzzled.
