Chapter 33 Chapter 27 Rose

Captain Laplace immediately tapped the altitude control jet system like a chill woodpecker, and for a moment he wondered if he was dreaming, no, the ship did turn in space. Perhaps it was because a certain fixed temperature of the spacecraft was too high, which made some adjustments to the temperature control system.This situation sometimes happens, and it is a blemish on the duty of the personnel on duty, because it is their responsibility to notice that the temperature is about to reach the upper limit in advance. He reached out to press the button on the intercom, trying to say, "Mr. Zhang on the bridge." But his hand didn't complete the action.

Even a tenth of gravity can cause vibrations after a few days in a zero-gravity environment.It was only a few seconds, but the captain felt it took him several minutes to disengage the restraints, allowing him to break free from his berth.This time, he found the button and pressed it quickly, but there was no response. He tried to ignore the thumping of items that hadn't been properly secured as gravity kicked in. Things seemed to keep falling for a long time, but the only unusual sound so far was the muted, full speed The sound of the driving engine. He drew the curtain of the small window of the cabin, and watched the stars outside the window.He probably knew the direction the spaceship should travel. Even though he could only determine the position between thirty and forty degrees, it was enough for him to make a clear judgment between the two possibilities.

The direction of Yinhe can be changed by increasing or decreasing its orbital speed, and it is currently decelerating, so it is presumed that it is preparing to fall towards Europa. The slamming of the door brought the captain back to his senses and saw that at least a minute had passed.Deputy Commander Chris Jr. and two team members squeezed into the narrow passage. "Report sir, the bridge is locked," Little Chris reported panting, "We can't enter the bridge, and Zhang didn't answer. We don't know what happened inside." "I think I know," replied Captain Laplace, putting on his shorts. "Sooner or later a madman will do it. We've been hijacked. I know where he's going, but I don't know where he's going." What's the motivation?"

He glanced at his watch and made a quick calculation. "At this thrust, we'll be out of orbit in fifteen minutes, maybe ten. In any case, can we cut the engine without endangering the spacecraft?" Deputy Commander Yu, who was an engineer, looked very unhappy, but offered an answer. "We can pull the breaker wire in the pump motor and shut off the propulsion supply." "Can we do it?" "Yes, they're on deck three." "Then let's do it!" "Well... then the independent backup system will automatically start to operate. For safety, it is sealed behind the waterproof layer of deck five. We must find a interceptor. No, this cannot be done in time."

Captain Laplace was afraid of this.These geniuses who designed the Galaxy tried to protect the spacecraft from any possible accidents during design, but they were powerless in the face of human's vicious destruction. "Any other options?" "The time is so tight, there may be no other way." "So, let's go to the bridge and see if we can talk to Zhang or anyone who's with him." Who could it be?he doubted.He didn't believe that was one of their official crew members.Then there is only... of course, the answer is about to be revealed!He will see it clearly.Could it be fanatical researchers wanting to prove their theories; or experiments being thwarted;

It's not like one of those mad scientist soap operas, but it all fits together.He wondered if Dr. Anderson thought this was the only way to get a Nobel Prize. When the panting and shaggy-haired geologist (Dr. Anderson) came running up and said out of breath, "My God, Captain, what the hell is going on? We're pushing full steam ahead! We're Do you want to go up, or do you want to go down?" "Down," replied Captain Laplace, "in about ten minutes we'll be in orbit towards Europa. I just hope whoever is in control of the spacecraft knows what he's doing."

Now they were on the bridge, facing the closed door, and no sound came from inside. Captain Laplace knocked on the door as loudly as possible without hurting his knuckles. "I'm the captain, let's go in!" He felt a little foolish about giving an order that was bound to be disregarded, but he hoped to at least get some reaction.To his surprise, there was an echo in the bridge. The outgoing intercom hissed and a voice said, "Don't try to do anything stupid, Captain, I have a gun and Mr. Zhang is under my control." "Who's that?" an officer whispered, "like a woman!"

"That's right," said the captain angrily.Apparently the hijacker's identity was revealed, but it didn't help. "What are you trying to do? You know you're not going to get out!" he yelled, trying to be authoritative rather than pleading. "We're landing on Europa. It can still fly again, but don't stop me." "Her room is very clean," Little Chris reported thirty minutes later.Thrust had been cut to zero, and Yinhe was descending in a parabola, which would soon pierce Europa's atmosphere.They all agreed that while it was possible to stop the engines now, doing so would be suicidal, since the engines would still be useful when they landed, it would just delay the self-destruction.

"Rose McLean! Who'd believe it was her! Do you think she's on drugs?" "No!" said Little Chris. "It was well planned. She must have hidden a radio somewhere on the ship. We've got to find it." "You look like a nasty cop." "It is necessary, gentlemen," said the captain. Frustration and their inability to make further contact with the closed bridge made the atmosphere tense among them and their tempers violent.He looks at his watch. "It's less than two hours since we entered the atmosphere, no matter what. I will be in my cabin, and they may contact me at any time. Mr. Yu, please stand by the bridge and report the latest developments immediately."

He had never been so helpless in his life, but sometimes waiting was the only thing to do.As he left the officer's room, he heard someone say, "I can take a cup of coffee, and Rose's coffee is the best I've ever had." Yes, thought the captain angrily, she was an efficient person, and any job she dealt with was thorough.
