88. Command

It was hard for both sides to contain their ecstasy.

"It's hard work, it's hard to lose contact with the ground for so many days, right?" Gan Chongzhi first expressed humanistic care.

[Thankfully, just the thought that maybe the last few of us humans are left in the world...... Uncontrollably uncomfortable. ]

"Are everyone else okay?"

[(pauses) It's fine.] ]

"I know it's not the right time to say this, but the ground does need your help right now, and I want to ask you some questions."

[Okay.] ]

"Can you tell us more about that? What's inside that trembling thirty-meter block of ice? Are there any details? ”

[It looks like a large coiled serpent with jet-black scales.] I can't see the head because it's in the innermost part of the ice, and I can only see the torso ......]

"How thick?"

[The coarsest part observed from the optical chamber is three meters in diameter, but is not as thick in most places.] ]

"Yes, thank you very much. Are you sure that the location of its fall was in the Yangtze River Delta? How do you judge? ”

[I'm sure that since these ice blocks are not capable of moving autonomously, the fall trajectory can be calculated according to the meteorite calculation method.] And from the point of view of the space station, everything can be seen very clearly. ]

"Understood, thank you very much, but there are some things that need to be taken care of now, and we will continue to contact you in a moment."

Gan Chongzhi sighed, temporarily turned off the contact, and looked up at a group of people not far away.

These uninvited guests put their guns on the heads of the helicopter pilots and slowly walked into the command room.

"Don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble." This time, the Ark Leader looked kind.

But Gan Chongzhi won't be fooled again.

"I don't even want to hear the dog of the ark, phew!"

Gao Zhengyi blocked Gan Chongzhi behind him, and his arm was metalized.

But the other party didn't care, and he didn't have the slightest sense of crisis when he met the awakened.

"We're here to work together this time, and believe me, we're not interested in the station's liaison rights at all."

"Hehe, the space station is the best place to get a close-up look at the ring, which can predict the arrival of disaster. You don't care? When am I a fool? ”

"In that case, I'll tell you a fact."

The man in the suit sat down at his desk in the command room.

He crossed his hands and cupped his chin.

"We stopped resupplying the space station three months ago."

Gan Chongzhi was stunned.

The man in the suit sighed: "To be precise, the last time our supply rocket arrived half a year ago, when we replenished enough supplies to live for three months, because our supply cycle is three months, and if everything goes well, our other supply rocket should arrive at the space station three months ago."

But you know ...... Three months ago, the year was approaching. ”

Gan Chongzhi swallowed.

The deep voice of the man in the suit continued:

"The last time we successfully launched a rocket was the one we launched a probe. Since then, no rocket has been able to successfully reach the sky, and it stands to reason that the space station has long been out of supplies. Yes, three months ago, there were already no supplies. ”

"Coupled with the interference of the moon magnetic ash, we also lost contact with Li Zhiguo two months ago."

Gan Chongzhi lowered his head and hugged his head in horror.

What did you just hear?

How could Li Zhiguo continue to survive for three months without supplies at all?!

"This is their last recording two months ago."

The man in the suit pulled out a tape recorder.

Li Zhiguo's voice came from inside.

[The reserve supply has been depleted, and the oxygen is thinning, so please organize a supply rocket on the ground immediately.] ]

[I'm Li Zhiguo, and there are three other team members by my side, and we landed on the space station during the last replenishment, and completed the handover with the former team members, and carried out the installation and observation mission of the optical module. ]

[We are in desperate need of food and water, and one of the team members has fainted due to lack of water.] ]

[The remaining oxygen is hard to support four people for too long...... Our bodies are already experiencing symptoms of hypoxia. ]

[When will the supply rockets arrive?] ]

[Can command get back sooner rather than later, let's make a resource plan.] ]

[Command, please reply!] ]

[Command ......]

[(A frail female voice, another member of the team): Forget it, Captain, we're abandoned.] ]

[Command!] ]

[(I don't want to die, woooooo......oo )]

[Command, please answer!! ]

[cough-cough-cough...... Headquarters!!! Please answer!! ]

“……”

At this time, the command center on the top floor was dead silent.

Maybe it's like two months ago, when the command was at that time.

Gan Chongzhi couldn't imagine the mood of the four people on the space station at that time.

It is also impossible to imagine the mood on the ground.

He grabbed the man in the suit by the collar and roared, "Did you answer? ”

"We wanted to answer, but the lunar magnetic ash interference suddenly became intense, and radio communication was cut off."

"So you haven't contacted them for the next two months?!"

"We've tried, but ...... They lost contact. ”

"What?!"

"Yes, the space station lost contact two months ago. It's in space, and it's affected much earlier than on the ground. It wasn't until just now that they appeared, and they opened up all channels of communication without trying to contact the command in the encrypted channel first. ”

“……”

The man in the suit patted Gan Chongzhi on the shoulder:

So, now you can think about it, what did you just hear? And also...... Do you want to believe the intelligence of that 'thing'. ”
