90 minutes before the launch, Gao Tianjun came to room "3525" and briefly introduced to Katz the purpose of coming to the
During 30 days, he assisted him in determining the accurate positioning of the "Xia Zhi". "I'm worried that it is no longer on Enceladus." Gao Tianjun explained.
"If you can let me go to the spacecraft, I may be able to get your 'express' to the orbit of Saturn within a week and help you find the 'Summer Solstice'!"
"What do you mean?" Gao Tianjun stared at Katz with a scrutinizing gaze. He was wondering if the other party was trying to find a reason to board the spacecraft? This is no joke!
"You know what I'm capable of!" Katz didn't look like he was lying.
"No need. Please also take our work arrangements seriously. You can only stay here," Gao Tianjun looked at his watch. "In 2 hours, I will take you into the control center. You can observe the entire flight there.
Process."
After saying that, Gao Tianjun turned around and went out and closed the door. Katz heard the ticking sound of the electronic door lock when it was locked inside.
Katz closed his eyes and thought. He realized that he had to act.
Ten minutes later, Katz told the soldiers outside the door through the intercom that he had forgotten to give Gao Tianjun something important and asked him to help deliver it.
The soldier opened the observation window on the door from the outside and looked at Katz: "What is it?...Hello, chief!" He clicked his feet together and saluted Katz, then quickly unlocked the door and bowed respectfully.
Watching Katz go out.
"Call a car and take me to the Astronaut Preparation Center!" Katz gave the order.
"Yes!" The soldier quickly called a commuter jeep and said to the driver: "The chief is going to the Astronaut Preparation Center now."
The driver only glanced at Katz, and his eyes quickly changed from confusion to determination. He jumped out of the cab, trotted to the right side of the car, opened the back seat door, let Katz get in, and then returned to the driver's seat and drove.
Drive along the tunnel.
The commuter jeep drove for a while in the tunnel and finally stopped at the entrance of a vertical elevator. There were also two armed guards standing there. One of them approached the car and glanced at Katz. He quickly stood at attention, saluted, and opened the door.
Katz, please get out of the car.
Katz smiled proudly and walked into the elevator under the escort of the guards to the Astronaut Departure Center on the ground...
When Gao Tianjun arrived at "3525", the soldier on duty at the door had been restrained by two security guards. The door opened wide behind him, and Katz was no longer inside.
"What's going on?!" Gao Tianjun asked sharply.
"I violated discipline. I opened the door. '3525' is now missing!" the soldier said sadly.
"What on earth did you see?!" Gao Tianjun asked. He knew that Katz must have used his mind to cast the illusion on the guard, otherwise even if he could get out of this door, he would not be able to get out of the tunnel at all.
"I saw Li...Li, General Li...he, he was going to the Astronaut Preparation Center, I notified the commuter bus to take him there..." the soldier said tremblingly.
"Oops!" Gao Tianjun said, jumped into the car and said to himself: "Hurry to the preparation center area!"
Gao Tianjun rushed to the Astronaut Preparation Center, and the sight in front of him stunned him——
The soldier guarding the door looked confused, as if he had lost consciousness. Zhang Nan in the lounge had already taken off his space suit and was leaning on a chair, falling asleep.
Gao Tianjun called the medical staff, checked Zhang Nan, and then woke him up.
"Why are you still here?" Gao Tianjun asked.
Zhang Nan seemed to have forgotten everything, looking at Gao Tianjun with dull eyes, speechless.
The soldiers guarding the door woke up one after another, and they didn't know what had just happened.
Gao Tianjun searched carefully but did not find Zhang Nan's spacesuit. He turned back to the jeep, picked up the on-board intercom, and said to Li Zhanxiong: "Chief, Katz is missing! I suspect he has boarded the spacecraft!"
"What?! How is that possible?!" Li Zhanxiong's roar came from the intercom, "Organize a search immediately! We must find him!"
For a moment, the alarm bells rang loudly in the base, and it fell into chaos...
Gao Tianjun returned to the tunnel and came to room "3525". At this time, the soldier was locked in the room that he was supposed to guard. Gao Tianjun asked someone to open the door, went in alone and stood in front of the soldier.
"Don't be impatient! Tell me slowly, what did Katz do to you?"
The soldier recalled it carefully and told Gao Tianjun what happened.
"Is the surrounding environment you saw at that time here?" Gao Tianjun asked.
"No, my mind seemed to be confused for a moment, and then I felt like I was standing at the door of the command center..."
"How did you wake up?"
"I don't know... When I regained consciousness, I realized Katz wasn't in the house."
Li Zhanxiong's voice came from the intercom: "Gao Tianjun, Katz has not been found in the entire base! We have searched everywhere! Come to the control center immediately!"
Gao Tianjun returned to the control center, and Li Zhanxiong was standing there waiting for him with a livid face.
On the big screen, the spacecraft is separating from the booster rocket, the third-stage engine has been successfully ignited, and "Express 1" accelerates towards the deep blue space...
Gao Tianjun secretly glanced at the control center and found that people at various workstations were still working in an orderly manner. It seemed that they were not aware of the major incident that had just occurred. Maybe they already knew, but the command headquarters had not made any new decisions.
Decision. However, even if it is now confirmed that Katz is on the spacecraft, what decision can the command make?!
Gao Tianjun lowered his head and came to Li Zhanxiong. The latter winked at him, and two soldiers from the security department immediately came forward and clamped Gao Tianjun on his left and right.
Li Zhanxiong sat down slowly on the armchair, the muscles on his face kept twitching. He was silent for a while and said seriously: "This is a major accident!"

"I'm sorry! Chief, this is my dereliction of duty! I am willing to accept the punishment from my superiors!" Gao Tianjun said.
"We'll talk about your business later!" Li Zhanxiong waved his hand, "We need to know as soon as possible what is Katz's motive for impersonating the spacecraft? How far did you '601' understand him? Did you originally report to him?
What are my reasons for suggesting bringing him to the base?"
"Although I still don't know Katz's motivation for boarding the spacecraft, we always believe that Katz's behavior is unlikely to be destructive."
Li Zhanxiong looked at Gao Tianjun and continued to listen.
"According to the judgment we have formed since our cooperation with the Eternal People, their starting point is to protect the earth's ecology. It's just that the methods they adopt are beyond our understanding. From the time Katz first came into contact with us, his goal has always been around
Eisen, including the actions he and Lawrence took against Flight '4577', also wanted to kidnap Eisen to serve the immortal group. After Jacob came to '601', he has confessed their motive to us. As
Our in-depth research and experiments, especially some of the mysterious messages we received after the "Summer Solstice" lost contact, also made them realize that Aisen is just a "messenger" from the "marginal space" to deliver information to us.
Therefore, immortal people should also have the intention to actively establish contact with the 'marginal space'. Therefore, Katz may want to use this opportunity to try it."
"No matter what, this is intolerable!" Li Zhanxiong said. "It is impossible to terminate the mission now! We must notify Deng Kai as soon as possible to take necessary precautions to prevent Katz's behavior from causing safety hazards to the spacecraft and the mission; at the same time
, notify '601' immediately to strictly control Jacob!"
After the "Express 1" spacecraft broke away from the booster rocket, it relied on its own controllable nuclear fusion engine to fly towards the orbit of Saturn, with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per second. Outside the window, the blue planet had changed from a curved surface to a
The diameter of the sphere is gradually shrinking. The reflection of the atmosphere makes it look like a translucent blue and white oversized glass ball, floating in the dark space...
The lighting system and oxygen system in the cabin have been turned on automatically, and the spacecraft has entered automatic navigation.
Just when Deng Kai was about to take off his helmet, he suddenly received a signal from the control center, asking him to turn off the communication equipment in the cabin and use a headset to communicate with the base. He smiled and glanced at "Zhang Nan" beside him.
Indicating that he could take off his helmet, he turned off the switch of the transponder in the cabin as instructed.
"Deng Kai," he heard the voice of General Li Zhanxiong, "Zhang Nan did not board the spacecraft! Katz is next to you! Please confirm immediately!"
Deng Kai was shocked. He turned his head and looked at the astronaut next to him through his protective mask. He saw the astronaut slowly taking off his helmet, revealing an unfamiliar face. However, just when Deng Kai saw the other person's eyes clearly,
For a moment, he fell into a brief amnesia...
Katz turned the transponder back on and repeated into the microphone: "This is Express No. 1. I am Katz and I am your friend. I request to talk to Gao Tianjun!"
A few minutes later, Gao Tianjun's voice came from the transponder: "Katz, this is Gao Tianjun. Your actions may cause damage to our mission! At the same time, you also broke the agreement between us and our eternal love for you.
People’s trust!”
"I'm very sorry! Mr. Gao Tianjun, please forgive me for my unauthorized actions! However, please believe that I will not cause harm to you! I have always been your most loyal colleague, and I will continue to help you complete your tasks and at the same time complete your duties as an immortal person.
The mission that should be accomplished!"
"No matter what situation you encounter, please respect and obey Colonel Deng Kai's instructions!" Gao Tianjun said angrily and helplessly.
Katz turned off the transponder and turned around to touch Deng Kai. The latter began to wake up.
"Who are you? Why are you on the spaceship?" Deng Kai asked alertly.
"I am Gao Tianjun's friend. You can call me Katz like him."
"Where's Zhang Nan?"
"He stayed on Earth. I will accompany you on your journey to Saturn!"
Deng Kai's body moved instinctively, as if he was looking for some tool that could be used to subdue the opponent.
"Colonel Deng Kai, please don't be nervous! We need to work together now! The future of this journey is still uncertain! You will definitely need me!"
At this time, Deng Kai had already remembered what Li Zhanxiong had just said. He called through the headset: "This is 'Express No. 1', and I am Deng Kai. The information report to Commander Li Zhanxiong confirmed that Katz was on the spacecraft! Repeat: I am Deng Kai."
Kai, please report to General Li Zhanxiong to confirm that Katz is on the spacecraft!"
