When several people asked to see him together, it was a sign that there was trouble, or at least some difficult decision.Captain Laplace found that Chris Jr. and Vandenberg often spent a lot of time in serious discussions, and usually Deputy Commander Zhang participated. He could easily guess what they were talking about, but in the end their proposal still made him Startled. "Still going to Mount Zeus! How? Using a crude ship? Could it be that Sheklidon's book has poisoned you?" Little Chris looked a little embarrassed, because the captain said what was on his mind."The South" is always uplifting in many ways.

"Even if we could build a small boat, it would take a long time ... especially now that Cosmos is ten days away." "Whether the Cosmos can arrive within ten days, I'm not sure," van den Paig continued, "but I don't want to drift in a small boat on the Sea of ​​Galilee, after all, not all living things on this planet know that we are Inedible." "So we still have only one option, don't we? I'm a skeptic, but you can try to convince me." "We have discussed it with Mr. Zhang, and he is sure that we can do it. Mount Zeus is only 300 kilometers away from us, and the space shuttle can fly there in less than an hour."

"Find another place to land? 9 You can recall that Mr. Zhang's performance on the Yinhe was not very good." "Sir, no problem. Zong's space shuttle is only one percent of the mass of the Galaxy. Even ice can support it. We have seen several good landing sites from the video records." "Furthermore," van den Berg said, "the fact that the driver was not held intimidated by a gun is something to take into account." "I believe that too, but the biggest problem is on our side. How are you going to launch the space shuttle from the hangar? Can you fit the launch vehicle? Even in the current gravity, it is not easy to launch of."

"No, Mr. Zhang can fly it out." Captain Laplace ponders in silence the idea of ​​launching a space shuttle from his spaceship (apparently he's not keen on it); Designed entirely for orbital operation, it is usually slowly rolled out of the "hangar" and the engines do not start running until it is completely free of the mother ship. "Looks like you've got it all sorted out," said the captain enviously, "but what about the take-off angle? Don't tell me you're going to turn the Galaxy upside down so that the Billy ejects straight up, with the hangar on the other side , luckily it wasn't under where we landed."

"When taking off, you must maintain a sixty-degree angle of fire from the horizontal plane. Lateral thrust rockets can do it." "If Mr. Zhang says so, of course I believe him. But what kind of damage will the ignition do to the Yinhe?" "Well, it will damage the inside of the hangar, but the hangar is no longer usable anyway, and the hatch is designed to prevent accidental explosions, so it won't cause damage to the rest of the spacecraft. For safety For the sake of safety, we will ask the small members of the fire fighting team to be on standby at any time."

This is undoubtedly a good idea.If successful, the entire Yinhe mission would not be considered a complete failure.During the previous week, Captain Laraplace had almost completely forgotten that the mysterious Mount Zeus was responsible for their entrapment here, thinking only of survival.But now he had to face it and think about it with all his heart.It's well worth the risk to get to know this little world, the focus of so many intrigues.
