Trisolarans: Trisolarans with the hard steel of the earth

"Everything is fine with the dashboard."

"The No. [-] engine unit is overheating! It is being overhauled!"

"Hope's first test flight is over! Start returning!"

However, when the operator pressed the return button, he found that there was no response at all...

"I order as a Wallfacer..."

Standing beside Zhang Beihai, Lin Lang calmly said in his inconceivably horrified expression:

"All staff enter the 'deep sea state'!"

"Target: Phoebe"

"Hope, advance four."

Chapter 75 You are defecting!

"You are crazy!!!"

Zhang Beihai roared: "The acceleration engine of the Hope has not been gradually tested, and it will go at full speed as soon as it comes up! In case something goes wrong..."

"I've checked and there's nothing wrong with it."

Lin Lang's voice was calm and scary in everyone's ears.

"Captain!! The Nozomi is ready to accelerate!!"

The operator pointed at the operation screen and said in panic.

Once the Nozomi started to accelerate at full speed, the g-value as high as 150 would tear everyone present into pieces of flying human tissue, and the splashed crimson red would cover everything in the cabin.

Zhang Beihai frowned, and found that he couldn't change the current state of the spaceship, so he had to order all the crew to enter the deep sea state.

"what have you done……"

"I just got the highest authority of Hope."

Round spheres popped up on the ground one after another, filled with orange LCL liquid, that is, deep-sea acceleration liquid.

Only by being immersed in this liquid can the human body withstand the acceleration that would accelerate the spaceship to 5.00% the speed of light.

"If you do this, the space station will be destroyed." Zhang Beihai said coldly before entering the accelerating liquid.

"Don't worry, the 'Sky Garden' is strong enough to withstand the shock wave brought by the acceleration of Nozomi."

"Mr. Lin, what is your purpose?"

"It's part of...the plan."

Lin Lang left those words behind and entered the acceleration cabin.

……

Kamo, space elevator base.

Shen Yufei who heard a burst of exclamation ran out of the house and looked at the sky.

In the sky, a second sun appeared.

A blue, more dazzling sun.

"what happened?!"

"What's going on! Have the Trisolarans invaded?"

"Yes...it's Hope!" Shen Yufei's lips trembled.

The people in the "Sky Garden" space station felt a violent shaking, and at the same time, the blinding blue light shone directly, illuminating every corner.

Someone put on special glasses designed to observe solar flares and looked out the window.

The Nozomi dragged a tail flame that was slenderer than its hull, and flew into the distance at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

After a brief acceleration, there is only one bright spot of light left for humans on the space station...

After that, the Nozomi accelerated to 5.00% of the speed of light, and human beings have no way to stop, chase, or attack...

Any electromagnetic waves sent to the Nozomi are as silent as mud cows sinking into the sea.

People have to face such a fact.

Hope, defected.

Chang Weisi was dumbfounded.

What about my big hope?The Nozomi Hope, which has just been built for less than 48 hours, ran away?

PDC emergency meeting.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations Saye looked solemn:

"Do you know anything inside? Or do you have any guesses?"

"What is the reason for the defection of the Nozomi this time?"

"Could it be that the captain defected." Someone speculated: "The captain felt that it was impossible for human beings to defeat the Trisolaran civilization, so he simply took a spaceship and went to join the Trisolarans?"

"impossible!"

Chang Weisi scolded: "Let's not say that it will take at least 1000 years for the Hope to sail to Trisolaris! Zhang Beihai can't be ETO!"

"Our soldiers are only those who died in battle! There are no collaborators!"

"Then how do you explain the current situation?"

"Perhaps...is that Wallfacer Lin Lang?"

Wallfacer Bill Hines stroked his chin and said thoughtfully:

"Maybe Lin Lang is a defeatist."

Defeatist, is a term that has been in the limelight lately.

Some people in the world believe that human beings cannot defeat Trisolarans when technology is locked up.

Therefore, a negative trend of "humanity must be defeated" has emerged.

"No way?"

Rey Diaz scratched his head: "He is a blind man, how could he control the entire Hope? Doesn't Zhang Beihai have the highest authority as a captain?"

"..."

In fact, those who were present knew that Lin Lang was not an ordinary blind person at all.

"Cough cough..."

One of the Wallfacers who has been silent all this time, Taylor said:

"Everyone, maybe we don't need to be so nervous."

"This is defection! How can we not be nervous?"

Taylor blinked: "Maybe... this is part of the plan?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

This sentence is like a gold medal for avoiding death. Although Rey Diaz, who wanted to blow up Mercury, was not saved in the original book, but looking at it now...

It still works.

……

After more than 100 hours.

Experienced a long process of acceleration, constant speed, and deceleration.

Hope finally arrived at its destination - near Phoebe.

This tiny moon is just over 200 kilometers in diameter.

At a distance of more than 1000 million kilometers, there is a "small planet" with star rings - Saturn, which is similar in body feeling to the moon.

It's so far away that even Saturn, which is hundreds of times larger than Earth, is tiny.

Aboard the Hope.

Everyone was dizzy, and the deep sea state was lifted.

They looked out of the porthole, and all around them was blackness, which is also the color of the universe.

Empty, cold, and dead.No adjectives are enough to describe the desolation of the universe.

Near the Hope, there is only one small iron lump satellite.

This is the farthest place humans have ever been to.

Even if they are soldiers with tough mental qualities, even if they have already made psychological preparations for long voyages.

But looking at the lifeless space at this moment, they still couldn't help feeling chills all over.

"Why...Mr. Lin, I need you to give me an explanation."

Facing Zhang Beihai's questioning and the distrustful and suspicious looks of many crew members, Lin Lang didn't say much.

"Everyone, let's move about normally." Lin Lang chuckled lightly: "The supplies on board are sufficient."

"After a while, everyone will be able to return to Earth again."

"After a while, how long is it?"

Lin Lang didn't answer this question, and turned to go to the research room.

Zhang Beihai remained silent and just followed him.

The research room of the Nozomi is not big, at least it is smaller than the laboratory of the space station.

After Lin Lang entered, he activated the freezing and sealing device.

"This is... a biological embryo?"

Zhang Beihai looked at those lump-like things in confusion.
