Beyblade: You call this a four-wheel drive vehicle?

Chapter 283: Zero Territory Flying a Spaceship
"Lin Che, it seems that we can't meet on Earth." Brett said in a low voice, "But I still want to thank you for coming to save me."

"Hey, why are you saying that suddenly?" Lin Che asked in surprise, "Did something happen?"

"Just now, the thermal insulation of our spacecraft broke down, and now we have no way to repair it." Brett said, "It seems that even God has abandoned us. Please help me write down my next words. Although my family is gone, if possible, please help me publish my last words on the Internet in the United States."

"The insulation layer is faulty? In other words, your spacecraft can no longer pass through the atmosphere normally, right?" Lin Che ignored Brett's words and frowned, saying, "Then, the second plan is scrapped and the third plan will be activated."

"A third option?" Brett was also stunned when he heard this. "Do you have another solution?"

"Of course, since you can't pass through the atmosphere, then land at the Tiangong Space Port and take the space elevator back to Earth." Lin Che said, "Confirm the status of the spacecraft again. As agreed before, you should connect to the network of the Tiangong Space Port. We will then send you the new orbital parameters. However, since your spacecraft's central control system does not have a preset route, that section can only be operated manually by you."

"No problem." Brett said. After having hope of survival again, Brett also cheered up.

More than an hour later, after Brett and his crew's spacecraft entered the signal range of Tiangong Space Port, the lost spacecraft was once again connected to the Earth's network. Lin Che immediately sent the Silver code to Brett and his crew.

"Sliver? The AI ​​on your racing car?" Brett asked curiously after completing the installation according to Lin Che's instructions and hearing the AI's self-introduction.

"That's right. Currently, China's spacecraft and central control AI are basically developed based on Silver. However, we don't have any information about the spacecraft you are currently driving, so it may be safer to use the more intelligent Silver."

"I understand. What should I do next?" Brett asked.

"Mr. Brett, the orbit change calculation is complete. Please check the details in your personal terminal. The spacecraft will arrive at the orbit change location in 34 minutes and 52 seconds. Please be prepared."

"There is always a way out." Edge said happily at this time.

"Don't take it lightly, we only have one chance." Brett said calmly.

"We can now connect to the Earth's network, right?" At this time, Joe also spoke.

"That's right, do you want to call Aaron?" Brett relaxed briefly after hearing this and spoke.

"There's no rush. We'll be able to meet in a while anyway. But before that..." Joe gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone, logged into his American social media account, and quickly edited a status.

A few minutes later, Joe's post shocked the entire American Internet. The content of the post was very simple:
【Fuck NASA, Fuck USA! 】

Although Joe's account was blocked in less than half a minute and the post was deleted, never underestimate the speed of netizens taking screenshots, especially at this moment when the whole world is paying attention to the three stranded astronauts.

【Why would our astronauts post such a dynamic? 】

[Obviously, there is something fishy about the news released by NASA.]

[Could it be that what China said is true? Those bastards from NASA and Boeing are planning to abandon our astronauts, and China is carrying out humanitarian rescue? ]

After Joe's post, Boeing and the politicians behind it couldn't sit still. Didn't they cut off the spacecraft's network connection? Why could they still release such a thing?
As a result, their tricks of deceiving the people were completely exposed, and for a time they were caught in a huge public opinion storm.

At this time, Lin Che also began to explain to Brett the details of the track change operation that would take place later.

"Before you decelerate and enter the capture orbit of the spaceport, the huge acceleration will put you under great pressure. The AI ​​estimates that it is about 11G, but you must complete a series of precise operations during that process. The Chinese spacecraft is automatically controlled by AI during this process. This is the first time you have encountered such a situation." Lin Che said, "You only have one chance. In order to ensure that you can complete it, you may need to enter the zero field during that period of time."

“The realm you discovered in the GPX race?” Brett asked.

"That's right," Lin Che said, "If it's you, there shouldn't be any problem entering this state. Remember what I say next."

"When experiencing that huge acceleration, use your mind to try to sense everything around the vehicle. Then, following your instinct, use your mind to push open the door that you may be able to see," said Lin Che.

"I see." Brett said, "Then, see you on Earth."

"Good luck, see you on Earth," Lin Che responded.

The communication channel fell silent. Brett calmed down and made preparations. Lin Che stopped interrupting him.

"Captain... can he succeed?" Hama asked at this time. As someone who had undergone acceleration training, he naturally knew what the concept of 11G acceleration was. In that state, even keeping the brain clear was very difficult, not to mention the need to perform a series of precise operations to get the spacecraft into the predetermined orbit.

"I believe he can do it." Lin Che said.

……

"Mr. Brett, the spacecraft will arrive at the expected orbit change location in three minutes. Please be prepared." After a while, Silver's voice sounded inside the spacecraft.

Brett, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Edge, Joe, check the spaceship one last time," Brett said. "Understood." The two nodded and got down to work, while Brett sat in the main driving position, waiting for that moment to come.

Three minutes later, the moment Silver's warning light came on, Brett suddenly started the spacecraft's power system and changed the spacecraft's trajectory.

This ill-fated spacecraft began to move towards China's Tiangong Space Port.

"Dr. Lin, the South Gate is ready." The commander of the Tiangong Spaceport also brought good news to Lin Che at this time. The Tiangong Spaceport's spacecraft capture device was ready, waiting for Brett and others to arrive at the predetermined orbit.

At the same time, China's international channel also began live broadcasting of the rescue operation.

During the program, CCTV thoughtfully explained the cause and effect of the incident, and said that China respects every astronaut who sacrifices his or her life for mankind's space exploration, so they rescued them out of humanitarianism, and the entire process was broadcast live.

The entire program, combined with the update that Qiao posted earlier, has increased its credibility.

At this time, some media like the BBC were still stubborn, but in front of Joe's dynamic screenshots, which were already beginning to gain uncontrollable momentum on social media, they looked like clowns.

Time passed by minute by minute. While the outside world was extremely noisy, Brett was concentrating on controlling the spacecraft. Brett had perfectly completed several orbit changes and was getting closer and closer to the Tiangong Spaceport.

But Brett knew that the real hard times were yet to come.

"The spacecraft will arrive at the expected orbit change location in one minute and twenty-five seconds. Please be prepared." Silver reminded at this time.

Brett took a deep breath. The most difficult part of the road that Lin Che had reminded him of was right in front of him.

"Zero Realm? If you can do it, there's no reason why I can't!" The moment the warning light in the spacecraft came on, Brett slammed down the power switch of the spacecraft. The spacecraft's engine ran at full power. A huge acceleration instantly hit, and the faces of the three people in the driver's seat were instantly deformed under their space suits. The vision of the three people quickly became blurred. Joe, who had the worst physique among the three, only lasted less than two seconds before losing consciousness. Although Edge was a little stronger, he also found that he could not control his body in this huge acceleration.

"Hold on, Brett." In the ground command center, everyone who was monitoring the spacecraft's condition through the data sent back by Silver was sweating, because success or failure depended on this one move.

"Feel everything around the vehicle..." Although Brett also had black vision, he followed Lin Che's instructions, calmed his mind, and used his mind to carefully feel every detail of the spacecraft. Then, Brett felt as if he had arrived in a strange space, surrounded by darkness. In this space, time became extremely long. He walked forward instinctively. After an unknown amount of time, a door with a faint glow appeared in front of him. Brett moved his mind and pushed it open with force. A dazzling light came from behind the door...

Brett suddenly woke up from the edge of losing consciousness. Only a moment had passed in reality. At this moment, although he was in the spaceship and could only observe the situation outside through machines, Brett suddenly found that this spaceship seemed to have become a part of his body. Countless information began to converge in his brain. At the intersection of information, countless possibilities in a few seconds were clearly visible!
"Is this... the Zero Realm?" Brett smiled excitedly and kept adjusting the parameters of the spacecraft. There was no hesitation in his movements. Every step Brett took was precisely on the glimmer of hope in the desperate situation.

Finally, when Brett could see the outline of the Tiangong Spaceport, Silver's prompt sounded: "We have arrived at the designated orbit. The spacecraft will reach the South Gate of Heaven in 25 minutes. Congratulations, Mr. Brett."

"Did you survive?" Brett heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. The string in his mind that had been tense for a long time also relaxed. The sequelae of the Zero Territory hit him at this moment. The huge fatigue made Brett's consciousness gradually blurred. In the last moment before he fell into a coma, Brett looked up at the vast universe and said, "It's great to be alive."

At this time, the staff of the ground command center and the Tiangong Spaceport also received the news sent back by Silver, and everyone cheered warmly. At this time, the head of China's aerospace department was already considering how to absorb Brett into their team. If NASA did not cherish such talents, they would have to take them!

At this time, Edge and Joe, who had lost consciousness due to the huge acceleration, slowly woke up. After waking up, they were shocked to see Brett, who had not moved for a long time, and hurriedly began to call Lin Che.

"Don't worry, he just fainted due to the side effects of the Zero Domain. Your space suit should be able to maintain his body. You won't need to operate it from now on. Just leave it to us." Lin Che replied.

Twenty-five minutes later, the spacecraft entered the capture range of the spaceport. With the help of the anti-gravity device developed by Lin Che with the help of MG ore, the spacecraft slowly entered the interior of the spaceport. The spaceport staff who had been on standby opened the spacecraft, and the medical staff rushed forward and gave the three people a simple physical examination. After confirming that there were no problems, they sent the three people into the return capsule of the space elevator.

"Okay, they will be back in fifteen hours." Lin Che turned around and said to Ying Yulong and the other two, "Let's go and rest, and then we can go to the exit to pick them up."

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lin Che's instructions to rest.

Fifteen hours later, as the space elevator descended into the aerospace base deep in the desert of western China, under the attention of the whole world, the staff carried three people slowly out of the cockpit of the space elevator on special stretchers. Lin Che, Yingyulong and Hamamiller were waiting at the front of the team.

After seeing his fiancée who had survived a near-death experience, Ying Yulong's emotions suddenly surged, and he rushed towards the three people before a large group of pro-China media reporters specially arranged by China could reach him.

"Qiao!" Eagle Feather Dragon shouted excitedly.

"Aaron!" Joe, who was unable to walk due to long-term weightlessness and needed some time to adapt to gravity, raised his arms with great effort on the stretcher. The two hugged each other tightly, and the scene was broadcast live.

At this time, Lin Che brought Hama and Miller to Brett. At this time, Brett had already recovered from the aftereffects of the Zero Domain.

"Don't look at us as a young couple, how do you feel?" Lin Che asked with a smile.

"It feels so good to be back on Earth, after all, I thought I was going to die in space more than ten hours ago," Brett laughed.

"I didn't ask you that." Lin Che said, "I meant, how does it feel to be in the Zero Realm?"

“It feels good.” Brett chuckled. “But I was ahead of you this time. The vehicle I drove was much faster than yours.”
