Williams looked at him and smiled meaningfully.

In fact, Zhang Tianlin was also very flustered after getting the news, it was obviously impossible to happen, but it happened like this. He had an extremely bad premonition, but he couldn't tell.

On the way to the military academy, his brain has been racing rapidly, and he is trying to figure out a set of emergency plans.

"None of us have ever dealt with this kind of thing, to be exact. However, one thing is certain," Zhang Tianlin said unusually calmly, "The speed of light and the astronauts must return to the ground." ”

Williams nodded thoughtfully: "Only then will it be possible for us to find out what's going on!" ”

"Yes," Zhang Tianlin said affirmatively, "but we can't let the spacecraft land directly, we have to do a comprehensive and cautious inspection before it enters the 'dome', and strive to eliminate all anomalies." ”

"Let the spacecraft dock on the docking platform at the edge of the 'dome', and we will send an inspection team up to it, and if there is no abnormality, wait until we return to the surface for further processing." Williams said.

"What kind of treatment?" Adolf couldn't help but ask.

"Isolating the astronauts and looking at their vital signs further can take weeks, or it can be months." Williams said that there seemed to be an idea, "and then the ship would be tested in all directions." Of course, we have to prepare for the worst. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Probably, this is the first voyage of the Speed of Light, and it will be the last. ”

"What do you mean?" Adolf asked suspiciously, "Is it abandoned?" ”

"No," Zhang Tianlin said, shaking his head, "I think Dean Williams meant to completely destroy the Lightspeed." ”

Sure enough, Williams nodded.

"Ah, how can this, how can this, I am against it!" Adolf couldn't help but exclaim, "The 'Speed of Light' has completed the first near-light speed voyage in human history, which is of great significance, wouldn't it be a pity to destroy it like this?" ”

"Must be destroyed!" "We have to make sure that there are no organisms or elements that don't belong to the earth, it's too dangerous," Williams said categorically. ”

"I agree with Williams." Zhang Tianlin stopped Adolf, who continued to argue, "Even if all the tests are reasonable, the 'Lightspeed' must be destroyed." This is so weird that it must be assumed that there is an extraterrestrial civilization. So, we can't take risks, at least not for humanity. ”

Adolf understood this truth, in fact, he had accepted their statement from the heart, but he was still unwilling, and he couldn't help but sigh again and again when he thought that the "Lightspeed" was about to be destroyed.

Suddenly, he thought of something terrible, and said uneasily: "Even the 'Speed of Light' can be destroyed, so what about the four astronauts?" ”

Williams and Zhang Tianlin glanced at each other and didn't say anything, but the meaning of the expression was already obvious.

"This, this ......," Adolf did not have the courage to say more.

"However, this is only the worst-case scenario, and it depends on the development of events." Zhang Tianlin said, "Let's pray!" ”

"Then do it!" Williams finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll take this opinion to the board of directors first and see how the chairman approves it." ”

"Okay."

The next morning, Zhang Mingyuan sat in Williams's office, drinking coffee slowly. Williams was quickly flipping through a document that was the Board's approval.

From beginning to end, he was relieved until he saw the last two words of the document, agree.

"The chairman specially explained that for the time being, according to this plan, the safety of the four astronauts must be guaranteed, unless it is a last resort......

Before leaving, Zhang Mingyuan added: "The last sentence is the chairman's own opinion. ”

Immediately, Williams and Zhang Tianlin co-chaired a meeting to study the details and specific arrangements of the plan, including emergency plans and treatment measures, and the meeting gathered all the elite talents of the Military Academy and the Aerospace Academy.

An hour later, one of the most significant meetings in human history ended, waiting for tomorrow.

……

"Call the 'Speed of Light' on the ground, please answer if you receive it."

"Roger, ground please instruct."

"Whether the navigation is normal and whether it is sailing according to the established trajectory."

"Everything is normal, expected to reach the ground at 14:25:30 this afternoon."

"You will receive a destination coordinates, please review."

"Review done. This location shows the docking platform on the outer edge of the 'dome', requesting reconfirmation of the landing point. ”

"The ground has been confirmed, exactly right, please plan the route."

"Roger. It is expected to land on the docking platform at 14:18:10 this afternoon. ”

"Ground received, call ends."

……

When the "Lightspeed" landed steadily on the docking platform, the detection vehicle was already in place, and each inspector was doing his job with fear.

After nearly five hours of meticulous testing, the Lightspeed spacecraft and astronauts were all right. After a brief briefing by Williams to the Council, the Lightspeed spacecraft was allowed inside the Dome.

As a result, the "dome" slowly opened, which seemed to mean that things were going in a good direction......

When the "dome" slowly closed, everyone was extremely nervous, and their hearts were in their throats, for fear that a UFO would follow and then attack the "dome".

When the "dome" closed normally, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.

After the spacecraft returned to camp, the shocked astronauts were immediately isolated, and a batch of advanced unmanned detection equipment began to test the spacecraft in all directions.

A week later, a thick investigation report was delivered to Zhang Mingyuan.

The report details the entire incident, as well as all the inspection processes and results.

In the end, the report came to two conclusions: the first was that the Lightspeed spacecraft was in normal condition, and no extraterrestrial creatures or extraterrestrial elements were found in the capsule. However, for the sake of human safety, it is recommended that the Lightspeed spacecraft be destroyed;

The second is that after examination and observation in the last week, the physiology of the four astronauts is normal, and it is recommended to continue isolation and observation for safety reasons.

For Williams, the first conclusion is definitely the result of seeking truth from facts, but the second is worth playing. Because in terms of his style of doing things, there is no second conclusion at all, which means that the four astronauts may have to follow the "speed of light" ......

However, now the situation is different, and with the "special explanation" of the chairman of the coalition government, Williams has to think about how to properly dispose of the four astronauts, even for his personal opinion.

"Maybe in a few days, the chairman will change his mind." Williams thought coldly.
