Chapter 11 Eleven, to the sun

The cabin fell silent, and everyone looked at the captain with pity.Lu Gang frowned and remained silent. He recalled that he had lived in the Lu family since he was 7 years old. He was both a servant and a son of the Lu family.So his affection for Lu Bing was also imprinted with this kind of imprint.He has liked Bing'er since he was a child, it was his brother's friendship at that time.Later, the friendship gradually transforms into a strange mixture of love and friendship.Before the disaster, he was 26 years old and Binger was 16 years old. The precocious Lu Bing completed this transformation earlier than him.She is arrogant and willful in front of her parents, but very docile in front of Lu Gang.At that time, Lu Gang had already moved out of Lu's house, but his younger sister often came to visit her, and she would half-truthfully announce: "I won't call you brother anymore, I want to marry you!"

He had been avoiding this love then.He knew it was based on a deep inferiority complex.In his capacity, falling in love with his benefactor's naive daughter, he always felt sorry for the old Captain Lu and his wife.After that disaster, fate defined his role as "brother".When he hugged his naked sister in his arms, there was a sense of sensual desire in his sympathy and pity, and it took him a lot of strength to suppress it.This often makes him feel deeply guilty.He felt that no matter how much he had done for his sister, he could not make up for this meanness.Now the voice of his sister gnashing teeth echoed in his ears, he thought, this is exactly the retribution I deserve.

After Larry and the others came out of the medical room, they didn't dare to disturb Lu Gang. They saw the complete disillusionment in the captain's eyes.Only Tang Shilong stepped forward and patted the captain's shoulder sympathetically.Lu Gang also nodded to him.He felt that this terrorist was not entirely a bad guy, and even had something in common with him in some respects. After experiencing the disillusionment of life and death, Lu Gang has already passed into nirvana.He calmly asked Tang Shilong: "Tell me the truth, is your little moth really malfunctioning?" Tang Shilong smiled and shook his head.He looked at the screen, and the small spaceship was still wandering behind the side of the waste mountain: "No, of course not. Although it is old, it is enough to complete this voyage, and it can be loaded with metal fuel to drive to Mercury."

Lu Gang nodded: "OK." "what?" Lu Gang patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Tang, you shouldn't have joined a terrorist organization. You are not that kind of person, and your heart is still not dark. Go back to China and be an ordinary person. Since you have come to this world for a while , always leave a few cocoon shells, not just feces. But I hope you don't look for Lu Bing again, your personalities are not suitable, and living together can only destroy each other. Can you agree?" Tang Shilong nodded doubtfully in agreement, and there was a slight ominous sign in his heart.Lu Gang issued an order to the crew: "Stop feeding materials, close the hatch. Adjust the course, and move closer to the Moth."

Both Banks and old Larry asked strangely, "What are you doing near the Moth?" Lu Gang said flatly: "Follow the order." This course adjustment was spotted on the ground, and Lu Gang replied simply: "We need the Moth." The microphone was turned off. Two hours later, the Noah's Ark was moored 200 meters away from the Moth.Lu Gang ordered to drop the cargo box, and the crew carried out the order in confusion. Lu Gang put on his space suit quietly and carried a coil of cables on his back. When Banks noticed, he had already flown into space through the decompression chamber.The small propulsion device in space shot out brilliant light, the golden sunshade flickered to reflect the sunlight, and the snow-white space suit was very dazzling on the dark sky.Lu Gang proficiently pushed the cargo boxes and assembled them into an independent square grid. Larry felt that he had guessed the captain's mind. He wanted to use the Moth to throw these nuclear bombs into space.He cooperated with the captain very tacitly, and every cargo box was placed in the right place.

An hour later, 112 cargo boxes formed a huge grid.Larry yelled, "Captain, come back, the spacesuit is almost out of fuel." Lu Gang didn't make a sound, and flew silently to the Moth 200 meters away, opened the hatch and got in.He tried a few operating handles and instruments in the command cabin, and after mastering the operation method of this foolish spaceship, he started to ignite, and the attitude adjustment nozzle sprayed flames, and the little moth slowly drove over, and then retreated slightly, stopping In front of the cubic grid.Lu Gang got out of the small spaceship and began to tie the large grid to the back of the small moth with cables.Now, the little moth stretched out two snow-white tail whiskers from its abdomen, forming a figure-eight shape, dragging the huge black grid.

Without saying a word, Lu Gang got into the Moth and began to lock the airtight door.Larry had an ominous premonition, and he shouted anxiously through the intercom: "Lu Gang! Lu Gang! What are you going to do?" No reply.He repeated the question over and over again, finally there was a rustling sound in the microphone, and Lu Gang replied, with a calmness beyond life and death in his voice: "Uncle Larry, the young American president is right, 2250 hydrogen bombs were released It's too dangerous here, it will be the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the earthlings. I'll cast it into the furnace of the sun."

"What?" Larry's premonition was confirmed, and he shouted angrily: "You want to fly a little moth to the sun? Boy, don't be fooled!" Banks also hurriedly squeezed closer to the microphone and shouted: "Captain, come back quickly! I know you broke your heart for that stinky woman, it's not worth it!" Black cried, "Come back, Captain, come back!" Lu Gang smiled heartily and said, "Don't hold me back, old Uncle Hung-sun, and you guys. I'm not crazy, and I'm not acting on a whim. I've never been so sober. I want to do something for mankind, and Even if this life is not in vain. Besides, who in the world can die so magnificently as me, just thinking about this is enough for me to feel at ease in heaven, haha." He said jokingly. "I'm about to launch the spaceship. Uncle Larry, Banks, Blake, Tang Shilong, you all drive the Noah's Ark back and take care of Lu Bing for me. Send my regards to Uncle Pinto, Hans and Yao Yunqi, and wish the detective an early date." Rehabilitation. Also," he hesitated for a moment, "if you can see Ah Hui, apologize to her on my behalf, and give her the 1 million yuan given to me by the U.S. government."

The crew looked at each other, helpless.Tang Shilong suddenly rushed into the living cabin, and the cabin was in a mess. The breach in the bulkhead was covered with rough patches. Lu Binger, who had been sedated, was still asleep on the bed, with a fixed belt on her body. The round teardrops fluttered gently, and her face was ruddy, like a begonia with dew.But at this moment, Tang Shilong didn't have any feelings of pity and tenderness. With anger and contempt, he slapped Lu Bing's cheeks hard: "Wake up, wake up! You vicious witch, you desert snake, you Australian poisonous jellyfish, your brother is going to throw himself into the sun and burn himself!"

Lu Bing opened his eyes drowsily, shaking his head back and forth, his cheeks were red and swollen from criticism. "Wake up, wake up, you Amazon dart frog, Saharan poisonous spider, you broke my brother's heart, he has already thrown his spaceship into the sun!" The Moth was activated.Lu Gang was worried that the tension of the two cables would be overloaded, so he started very slowly.The tail nozzle of the little moth spewed blue-green light, tightened the cable, and dragged the huge black grid, slowly moving across the sky, gradually accelerating.When Lu Bing woke up and rushed into the command cabin, the Moth had already left.With red and swollen cheeks, Lu Bing rushed to the microphone and shouted, "Brother, I'm Bing'er, please forgive me, come back soon!"

Lu Gang's hearty laughter came from the microphone, very clearly, as if right in front of his eyes: "Bing'er, I didn't blame you, I just did something that should be done, live well, and say goodbye forever." Lu Bing burst into tears, and only then did she know how precious Lu Gang is to her.She said sadly: "Lu Gang, come back. Do you know how much I love you in my heart? I want to love my brother like an obedient sister, and I am willing to love my husband as a loyal wife. Lu Gang, forgive me. Me, come back." There was no answer from the little ship, just a slight background radio noise, and they couldn't see the little moth anymore, it was covered by that huge black grid.The grid also gradually shrunk, melting into the black sky.After a long silence, Lu Gang's passionate voice came: "What a magnificent sun." On the earth, it is no longer just a sound service column in the Internet that is broadcasting live.TV stations and radio stations all over the world have joined the ranks.In addition to listening to the dialogue in the sky, some TV stations have turned the images in the astronomical telescope into radio waves and broadcast them live to the world. When the Noah's Ark approached the Moth, the White House communications room was in an atmosphere of extreme anxiety. They didn't know what this powerful Chinese would do and whether the situation would reverse.After repeated calls, the communication system was connected to Noah's Ark. Larry said sadly: "Captain Lu Gang took these nuclear bombs and flew towards the sun!" At least 2 billion people in the world received this news at the same time, and they were all stunned.The United States first called out the communication frequency of the Moth, and President Whitham said sincerely: "Mr. Lu Gang, please follow my advice and return immediately. Your life is more precious than anything else. As for the nuclear bomb, we will have a proper solution. .” The Chinese President also shouted: "Lu Gang, my fellow countrymen. Human beings are grateful for your sacrifice, but I ask you to come back. Our scientists will use unmanned spacecraft to complete this voyage." The Pope and the Prime Minister of Sweden also made the same appeal. Lu Gang smiled and said, "Thank you for your sincerity. I have made up my mind and I don't need to persuade me anymore. I hope that NASA or China's Xichang Space Base can calculate the best route for me. Can you use the gravitational field of Venus and Mercury to accelerate? Please inform me after the calculation and guide me, thank you." People heard his determination from his calm tone and stopped advising. Two billion people on earth are sitting in front of the TV, watching the little moth dragging a huge grid of nuclear bombs, just like an ant dragging a multi-legged centipede, calmly flying towards the sun.There were tears on the children's faces. The BBC was the first to send out a newsletter: "A nightmare has passed. In ancient Chinese mythology, there was a hero Kuafu who died day by day. Now, another Kuafu is dragging 2,250 nuclear bombs to the sun. Human idealism will Sublimated in one of the most spectacular burials in the sky, 5 billion people on earth saw off the human hero intently, praying for his soul to have eternal life in heaven." In the back room in Cali, Colombia, Cabalero and his assistants are still listening to the two spacecraft.The monitoring has lasted for 20 hours, and the assistants looked tired and supported themselves.Veteran Santos reclined on the sofa and dozed off, only Cabilero was still in good spirits and sat upright.He said, "Good job Lu Gang. If he comes back alive, I will give up his punishment and be his friend. Don't you, Santos?" Santos was already snoring slightly, but he immediately answered: "Yes, he is a good Chinese." He knew that the leader was looking for a way for himself, and he wanted to avoid the sensitive topic of "who is responsible for the failure of this operation".But having said that, Lu Gang is indeed worthy of admiration.Even if he was 380,000 kilometers away, he could still feel the dignified spirit of that person. Kabellelu stood up and said: "I am afraid that I am the only one in the world who can let Lu Gang return. Let the radio station issue an action order to God of War, ordering him to force Lu Gang to return, but not to hurt him." The electric wave flew 380,000 kilometers away, and arrived at Moth 1.26 seconds later. Pinto walked out of the gate of the launch site with tears in his eyes and walked to his car.It has only been 24 hours since Noah's Ark was launched from here, and these 24 hours are like 24 centuries.Facts have proved that Lu Gang's premonition was surprisingly accurate, and those gentlemen wearing white gloves really did something despicable to the spaceship.In this ugly farce, Lu Gang walked to the center of the stage with a dignified spirit, saved the earth, and won the respect of the world.He is sad for Lu Gang, but also proud of him. He was about to open the door of the Mercedes-Benz when suddenly a person got out from under his car.Pinto immediately took out the Thompson pistol that he had been carrying with him for several days: "Who? Don't move!" The person who came carefully held something and looked at him in embarrassment: "Don't shoot! - Please don't get me wrong, I dismantled the remote control bomb in your car - I installed it four days ago." Pinto gasped.Although he had been on guard against them for a long time, although he had been careful everywhere for a few days, he never thought that he would be accompanied by the bomb all the time.With anger in his eyes, he held the pistol to the man's head.The man explained with a wry smile: "Frankly speaking, the order I accepted is to send you to heaven. The bomb has already been installed, and I just wait for the order from above. But Mr. Frost has been missing for a few days—but I won't do it even with his orders. Mr. Pinto, I know a lot from TV, and I respect Mr. Lugang very much. Whoever fucking asks me to do this again, I will put this bomb in up his ass." Pinto put away the pistol and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, and the man hurriedly shouted: "Don't move!——I'll go and dispose of this bomb." "Okay, thank you, and goodbye." "Good-bye. But you mustn't say thank you. That would embarrass me. I'm a bastard worthy only of being cursed." When Pinto returned to the office building, he heard a huge explosion from the sea. Taihu Lake is vast and boundless, but Ah Hui's fishing career is quite difficult.Many freshwater fish died due to backflow of seawater, and fishing sources were exhausted.Fortunately, the performance of this new fishing boat is good. It can travel to several places every day, and it is no problem to maintain the family's livelihood. Returning to her hometown from Qixingyan, Ah Hui's heart was ashamed.That man saved her and won her heart, but he didn't want to marry her.Ah Hui never knew whether she should miss him or hate him!After she came back, she had been eating fast, chanting Buddha and doing heavy labor to pass the time, but in the past few days, she felt that a small life had been born in her womb - during the last night of joy, she quietly removed the contraceptive measures and became pregnant his seed.Whether it is love or hate, she is determined to give birth to this child and bring it up. When I got home at night, both grandpa and mother looked at her with strange eyes.She asked puzzledly: "Mom, why do you keep looking at me? What's wrong with you?" Mom whispered, "Is that man Lu Gang?" Ah Hui was shocked, and asked anxiously: "Mom, what's the matter? Is there a letter from him?" Mom sighed and said: "It's on TV, you can watch it yourself." She saw a small spaceship dragging a huge grid of nuclear bombs, and flew towards the sun calmly; she heard the announcer introducing the deeds of the new Kuafu in a reverent tone.Grandpa kept tearing and said repeatedly: "What a good man, what a good man." She fell into the chair, tears streaming down from her fingers. Lu Gang has put aside everything in the world, and is driving the little moth in a peaceful state of mind.Looking back, the huge ghost mountain has shrunk into a black spot.The spacecraft passed 200,000 kilometers away from the moon, and saw the cold and dead world on the back of the moon.Suddenly he heard a little noise in the cabin.Turning his head to look, a seal on the bulkhead had been opened, and Old Mike was showing half of his body, pointing a pistol at him. Lu Gang looked at the old man with a grin.There was an encounter with him at the Halmahera space field, and the strange expression of the old man once aroused his ominous premonition, which was also verified in subsequent events.How did he come here now?Could his battered pistol frighten a dying man? Old Mike closed the lid, and swam over while pulling on the handrail of the bulkhead.The pistol was still in his hand, but he didn't take it seriously.He stopped behind Lu Gang. "Hello, old man. I saw you at the space launch site, but I still don't know your identity." "My name is Mike Lawless. I used to be an American nuclear bomb expert." "Oh, you're the 'God of War', right? You sold the secret of the nuke to the Cali Cartel?" "right." "Sell it for a big price, why don't you stay on the earth and enjoy it? Now what are you going to do to me, force me to go back? Shoot me?" The old man said indifferently: "After killing you, I can still drive this spaceship back." Lu Gang sneered and said: "Yes, I believe, it's a fool's spaceship. But what are you going to do with the nuclear bomb? Unload it in the Lagrange cemetery? Or take it and crash into Washington? Maybe you don't care that hundreds of millions of people are in The call sign before dying, the professional characteristic of a nuclear bomb expert." The muscles under the old man's eyelids trembled, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Lu Gang's forehead. The little moth had already flown away, and there was no response to repeated calls.Old Larry thought of his responsibility, and said sadly, "Let's go back." The Noah Airship started to ignite, sadly left the ghost grid, and returned along the arc track.On the way, in the messy living cabin, both Tang Shilong and Black looked sad.Larry told them to take care of Lu Bing, and they did.But there is one thing, that is, everyone does not make eye contact with Lu Bing. In this vacuum of eyes, Lu Bing curled up into a ball with a blank expression.Then she stood up, walked out alone, and came to the decompression hatch. She wanted to jump into the cold outer space to accompany Brother Lu Gang, who was the only person who could understand her.Tang Shilong and Banks followed far behind, watching her coldly turning the decompression chamber door in vain, but it was obvious that she didn't have enough strength.After more than ten minutes, Banks said to Tang annoyedly: "Forget it, let's give her an injection." The two grabbed her, subdued her resistance, and dragged her to the medical room for a sedative.Lu Bing's crying gradually weakened, and finally he fell asleep peacefully.Tang Shilong carried her back to the living cabin. At this moment, he felt that Lu Bing's body gained weight—he also felt weight under his feet.Gravity had been restored, and re-experienced the effect of gravity, which made him feel relieved and repeated. The spherical earth quickly greeted it.Today, the earth is mostly sunny, and the blue ocean and brown land are half covered by thin white clouds.The spacecraft landed gradually around the earth, passed through the blood-red sunset instantly, ushered in the golden sun, and found the Halmahera Island Cosmodrome in the vast Pacific Ocean.The variable vector nozzle of the spaceship turned to vertical slowly, closed its legs and folded its wings like a falcon bird, and landed on the space field smoothly. The space field is very lively today, which is quite different from when it took off.Hundreds of riot police formed a defense line, and the journalists who were blocked outside held up their cameras vigorously, forming a jungle of arms, and the flashes kept flashing.The gangway opened, and Larry, Banks, and Blake walked down one by one. In the end, Tang Shilong hugged Lu Bing, who was still awake. Pinto, Hans, and the director of the space station all came forward and hugged the crew members tightly, with tears in their eyes. Behind them was a capable Chinese. He came up and shook hands with everyone in turn. He introduced himself, "My name is Chen Bing, and I thank you on behalf of the Chinese government." When it was Tang Shilong's turn, he said, "Please take my special plane back to China with Ms. Lu immediately, we are responsible for the safety of Mrs. Xian and his wife." Although the title of "virtuous couple" sounds very inappropriate at this time, Tang Shilong is still moved by the Chinese government's commitment and trustworthiness.With a lump in his throat, he said sincerely, "Thank you." The American representative was that Mr. Rogers, who of course did not want to be on this embarrassing errand, but President Whitham insisted on him.When Larry shook hands with him, he said sarcastically, "Thank you for your thoughtful arrangements on the spaceship, where is Mr. Frost?" Rogers said blankly: "He can't come, he has committed suicide." Larry groaned, shook hands with him again, and didn't bother him any more. After sitting down in the lounge, Larry asked eagerly, "Where is the little moth now?" Chen Bing replied: "It is 820,000 kilometers away from the earth. The radio power on the spacecraft is too low to receive their signal. But it is estimated that they can still receive the signal from the earth. NASA is going to send them the best path, including how to use Venus' gravitational field to accelerate." The crew members bowed their heads in pain.From now on, their captain was actually in another world, and they would never see him again in this life.Mr. Chen Bing seemed to ask everyone unintentionally: "Do you have any news about the old God of War Mike? A white man in his 70s, with a slender body." "No, how do we know about him?" Banks said. Chen Bing shook his hand with a smile: "Ask casually, ask casually." After a group of five people left the airport, a major officer of the Chinese anti-riot police came over and gave a military salute to Chen Bing: "Report, the Noah's Ark was searched carefully, but Mike was not found." Chen Bing looked at Rogers: "Then he must be on the Little Moth. But why is there no movement?" Rogers also shook his head in confusion. Six hours ago, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency overheard Kabellelu's instructions.These days, they have been conducting 24-hour surveillance on several of the Cali cartel's lairs.The coded command received was sent to the National Security Agency, which was deciphered in 15 seconds and sent to President Whitham's desk. Cabilelu: Order God of War to act immediately to force Lugang to return.Do not take his life. Call back: Mike understands that Lu Gang must not be forced to return without harming his life. There was panic in the presidential office.They didn't expect such twists and turns all of a sudden when the journey was going smoothly!The two ships were so close when the call was received that it was impossible to determine which ship Mike was on.They immediately sent a warning to Lu Gang, but there was no reply, then, Lu Gang must have been under Mike's control. Fifteen minutes later, an emergency meeting was called in the White House Cabinet Room. Whitham: Can the little moth return to Earth with 112 shipping containers? Barnes <NASA Director>: That's exactly what worries us the most.It's no better than the Noah's Ark, which was so good it could hover in the air, giving us a little more time to bargain (though that's a bit ironic).But little moths with such huge suffixes are unlikely to land safely.As long as it enters the gravity range of the earth, it will hit the earth head-on, even if God of War wants to stop, he can't stop. Whitham: And then? Barnes: Then the ship and the bomb bay would both burn up in the stall and fall.The high temperature and pressure formed during the high-speed fall may ignite the nuclear bomb, but generally speaking, this is not the case.So we will be primarily at risk of nuclear contamination rather than nuclear explosions.I think the most dangerous thing is that Ares detonates it before it falls, which is likely to cause irreversible damage to the atmosphere, especially the ozone layer.Of course, detonating the bomb in the air would be difficult due to the separation of the bomb from the Moth.But as long as he gives up the operation of the spaceship and has a space suit, he may also leave the Moth and go to the nuclear bomb bay to detonate it. Whitham: What can we do now? Sindel (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff): We have agreed that the best way is to go as far as possible out of the atmosphere and intercept and capture it or destroy it.At present, our country, China and Russia all have this kind of space interception capability.Of course, if you do this, Mr. Lu Gang will also burn everything. Whitham: Emotionally, it was difficult for us to make such a decision.But maintaining the safety of the earth is exactly Mr. Lu Gang's wish.Just prepare according to this, and inform China and Russia to cooperate with us. Carter (Head of the Latin American Division of the Central Intelligence Agency): I have an idea, which is probably wrong, but I can't help but say it.Please think about whether there is another possibility?That is, Cabaleru's order was not malicious. Maybe he, like us, just wanted to save Lu Gang's life.Please pay attention to what he said: Do not harm Lu Gang's life.We can extend it: If he really intends to let Lu Gang return to the earth alive, then our above-mentioned conjectures cannot be their predetermined plan.Then, this simple order from Carlson is likely to be a temporary decision, a momentary impulse of emotion-if we admit that drug traffickers have emotions too. Whitham: Thank you for your unique analysis.We first make preparations according to the space interception plan, and then wait and see. Hour after hour has passed since then.The Moth remained the same, and continued to walk its own way calmly, with no sign of returning to Earth.It ignored all kinds of speculation on the earth, and soon left the earth far away.Whitham's think tank finally believed that the God of Destiny did have special favor for human beings this time.The Moth will not return again, and a crisis has been virtually eliminated.
