Earth Era

?

readx; Disorientation is the most dangerous thing in the vast expanse of space. Here, the front, back, left, right, up and down are all pitch black, and all are the same starry sky. Without the assistance of the instrument, you would not have any chance of surviving.

Due to the limitations of the fuel carried by the spacecraft, the orbit of the spaceship must be set very accurately, so even if you can see the sun, it is not feasible to rely on the sun to navigate the spacecraft, because the visual error is too large, During such voyages, the mere waste of fuel caused by frequent orbit adjustments can bring a ship to its death.

Disorientation and running out of fuel are the most common dilemmas encountered by adventurer ships who travel to Jupiter on their own. In this case, they generally send broadcasts to the general direction of the earth. If these broadcasts are received by the earth, they can also get some help to return to the earth, but because of the limited signal strength and the lack of ground base cooperation Because of this, those signals are often not perceived by the Earth side. It's all a matter of chance.

The Adventurer Rescue Organization is such a public welfare organization. After receiving or someone reporting the information of the adventurer who encountered danger, the Adventurer Rescue Organization will try to contact the adventurer, provide them with professional advice on spacecraft maintenance and positioning, and help them return to Earth.

Now, there is such an unlucky ghost who sent a message to the direction of the earth, and then it happened to be received by Zhao Lan.

"Fortunately, you met me." Zhao Lan thought lightly. After inquiring about the contact information of the Adventurer's Rescue Organization, he forwarded the message there, along with the approximate location and frequency of the signal. and other information.

Also due to the limitation of signal strength, it is unrealistic for Zhao Lan to directly contact the spacecraft that encountered danger. It was a coincidence that Zhao Lan was able to receive this signal, but the adventurer probably didn't have enough luck to receive Zhao Lan's reply. The Adventurer Rescue Organization is different, where there are professionals and specialized equipment to handle such things.

"We have received your information. On behalf of our Adventurer Rescue Organization, I thank you for your support and cooperation with our organization. Because of your help. That adventurer may eventually return to Earth successfully, and your kind deeds may have saved a life."

The reply from the Adventurer's Rescue Organization came soon, and Zhao Lan put this matter to the back of his mind and didn't pay too much attention to it. The human government has repeatedly banned adventurers from privately embarking on space adventures. And it is clearly stated that no help will be provided to anyone who violates the ban on space adventures. In this case, those who still go their own way and encounter danger have to say that there is a meaning of deliberately seeking death. Helping them to contact the Adventurer's Rescue Organization at will can be regarded as the best way to do it.

Although this prohibition of the human government "doing nothing to help" may seem cruel, it has a very reasonable balance of interests to consider. Because if the human government provides help to the adventurers, then the adventurers who are not firm in their will may also be determined to start the adventure, which will inevitably lead to more resource expenditure. And lead to more adventurers buried in space. And if you declare "no help" in advance, then the number of people who will choose to still go on space adventures will be much less. In this way, the human government will reduce the waste of resources, and the number of people who die in space because of their adventures will also be reduced. decrease very much. So from a profit point of view, this provision is very reasonable.

During the next journey, Zhao Lan continued to receive the same distress message five times. Zhao Lan's spaceship was also moving at a high speed. It could be said that it was a coincidence that it received a distress signal by chance, and it was a bit incomprehensible to receive the same signal five times in a row. So Zhao Lan contacted the Adventurer Rescue Organization again, but he didn't wait for Zhao Lan to speak. The message from the Adventurer's Rescue Organization came to Zhao Lan first: "I'm sorry to bother you again, Ms. Zhao Lan, may I ask, are you sure that the signal you forwarded to us is an adventurer's cry for help received from the depths of the universe. Signal, not your prank? You claim that you have received five distress calls, but we used a professional high-power communication antenna to point in the direction you described, and during this time we did not receive any messages ."

The personnel and equipment in the Adventurer Rescue Organization are professional, and they can even use three giant antennas with a diameter of 18 meters to receive radio signals. compare them. Then, if Zhao Lan can receive the signal. There is no reason why the Adventurer's Rescue Organization could not receive the signal.

Zhao Lan was about to laugh at the message sent by the Adventurer's Rescue Organization. Zhao Lan responded with a very bad tone: "Do you look like I am someone who likes to use pranks to make fun of others?"

The words in the message sent by the Adventurer's Rescue Organization are still very humble: "Sorry, we didn't mean that, we just reconfirmed the relevant information to you. Our Adventurer's Rescue Organization is only a public welfare organization, and our funds are limited. Manpower is limited, and we cannot waste resources where they don’t make sense.”

"Then just do whatever you want." Zhao Lan responded in an angry tone, "I have fulfilled my obligations as a human being anyway, and what happens next has nothing to do with me."

This time, the reply from the Adventurer's Rescue Organization came quickly: "Ms. Zhao Lan, thank you for your cooperation and support for our work, and wish you a happy life."

Communication was then cut off. The Adventurer's Rescue Organization has never been heard from again.

But at this time, the ghostly distress signal was received by Zhao Lan again: "This is the Yuanwang spacecraft... I need help very much."

Zhao Lan frowned in displeasure, and then ignored the message. Then ten minutes later, this distress message appeared again.

"Perhaps an adventurer is really in danger." Zhao Lan thought, "This is a life after all, I should not be too rash."

Thinking of this, Zhao Lan once again forwarded this message to the Adventurer Rescue Organization.

In the next two hours, Zhao Lan repeatedly received four distress calls, and after the fourth distress call, the reply from the Adventurer's Rescue Organization finally arrived. The difference is that this time the tone of the respondent has become quite rude: "Ms. Zhao Lan, we are very grateful for your trust in us, but please don't bother us with some pranks, okay? Our The staff are exhausted from the long and high workload, they are all volunteers, all volunteered to work with us without pay, and then they have to deal with mischief like you while helping adventurers If you still have a little sympathy, please end your boring behavior, I thank you on behalf of all the staff of our Adventurer Rescue Center!"

No matter how well-mannered a person is, they will probably be furious when confronted with such questioning. Zhao Lan did the same. But before Zhao Lan could refute it, the communication was cut off. Zhao Lan tried to rebuild the information contact, but was rejected by the Adventurer Rescue Organization.

Zhao Lan knew that he had probably been added to the communication blacklist by them. For the Adventurer Rescue Organization, he had become an unwelcome person.

Zhao Lan somewhat resentfully gave up the thought of continuing to contact them, but at this moment, that ghostly distress signal appeared again on the communication station of the Sylvia spacecraft.

Zhao Lan finally determined that this was probably a prank. This must be some new idea for a whimsical, ingenious harasser to reach out to him. And he was used by him and acted as a fool in the Adventurer Rescue Organization. So Zhao Lan couldn't bear the anger in his heart anymore, Zhao Lan said very rudely: "Sir, please respect yourself! Please don't harass me again, for your sake, I have been added to the blacklist by the Adventurer Rescue Organization. bingo!"

If it is a smart person~www.readwn.com~ he can probably interpret a lot of information from this sentence. This sentence clearly shows that Zhao Lan has contacted the Adventurer's Rescue Organization many times, and the Adventurer's Rescue Organization must not have received the rescue message just now. That's why the Adventurer's Rescue Organization added Zhao Lan to the blacklist, so Zhao Lan thought it was just a prank.

Zhao Lan didn't expect his message to be received by the other party. The reason for doing this is purely to vent the anger in my heart. But it was very strange that Zhao Lan received an answer after a delay in communication.

Zhao Lan took a look. The interval between two pieces of information was one minute and forty seconds, which meant that the distance between that source of information and him would not exceed fifteen million kilometers at most. And based on Zhao Lan's current position, the location of that information source must be within the orbit of Mars. And since the source of information is within the orbit of Mars... Then, what he said before, that he lost his way on the way to Jupiter, was obviously proved to be a lie.

Therefore, the anger in Zhao Lan's heart was even stronger. However, the content of this newly received piece of information made Zhao Lan fall into even greater doubts.

"Excuse me...are you human?" (To be continued.)
