Under the control of AI, the spacecraft has left the earth's orbit and is sailing towards the orbit of Saturn at a constant speed of 500 kilometers/second.
Deng Kai locked the spacecraft communication settings to only use the helmet headset, in order to block Katz from hearing his communication with the base control center, and also to prevent accidents. However, Deng Kai soon learned that these precautions he had taken
The measures had no effect on Katz.
Katz calmly took off his bulky air-tight spacesuit and wore only the cabin activity suit - obviously this suit belonged to Zhang Nan, Katz was a bit too small for it. He looked around the interior structure of the spacecraft up and down, left and right
and meters, and finally my eyes rested on the reading of a meter.
"500 kilometers per second! Amazing! Is this the fastest spacecraft in the world right now?" Katz was communicating with Deng Kai with his mind.
Deng Kai had never heard about the Immortal Man before. Neither CNSA, X Base nor Gao Tianjun disclosed to him any information about the contact and cooperation between "601" and Jacob and Katz. Therefore, when the connection came to his brain,
When this idea came from Katz, he was almost shocked - he thought that it was impossible for him to hear outside sounds while wearing a helmet. Could it be that the helmet had lost its sound insulation function?
He looked at Katz through his protective mask, and the other person was smiling at him.
"Why can't we face reality?" Katz continued to send messages to Deng Kai. "We are in the same boat now and need to trust each other."
Deng Kai saw clearly this time that the other party's lips did not move, but he did "hear" the sound!
"Can you use ventriloquism?" Deng Kai asked.
"Language is just your way of communication, and we only need to interact with our thoughts."
"You?"
"Yes. The you you represent and the us I represent are different groups. You will know in the future. Now, there are only two individuals here, you and me."
"Why do you want to replace Zhang Nan on the ship?"
"We must participate in your mission. Moreover, we have helped you many times!"
Deng Kai was doubtful and didn't know what to do next. He thought that the base's control center must be thinking about countermeasures at this moment. He was eagerly waiting for new instructions to come from the headset.
Katz took another look at the flight speed reading and continued to convey his thoughts to Deng Kai: "Although your spacecraft is already flying at the fastest speed currently available to mankind, even at this speed, it will take us 30 days to reach Saturn.
It takes too long! If you believe me, I can make the spaceship arrive immediately!"
Deng Kai secretly searched around, hoping to find a tool that could subdue the opponent. If this "madman" really wanted to attack the spacecraft, he must take measures...
Katz knew exactly what Deng Kai was thinking, and he had no worries about it. He had made several loaded enemies instantly lose their will. Today, facing an unarmed man, he could do so effortlessly. But he didn't want to do that.
Firstly, he needed Deng Kai's cooperation, and secondly, he had to make Gao Tianjun and others understand the goodwill of the Eternal Life Man. After all, his impersonation to board the ship was already unforgivable in their eyes.
"Have you ever heard of the 'boundary' of 'parallel space'?" Katz asked.
Deng Kai didn't answer. All he could think about was how to subdue the other party, and he didn't even think of establishing communication with the other party. His first priority right now was to protect the spacecraft and wait for instructions from the base.
The Katz impersonation incident made Li Zhanxiong feel very angry and at a loss. Thirty minutes after the launch of the spacecraft, he held a secret meeting in the control center lounge and asked all officers in the command headquarters to put down their work and come immediately.
Gao Tianjun, who had been placed in a solitary room, was also brought here.
Li Zhanxiong briefly explained to everyone the incident that happened half an hour ago. Everyone was stunned after hearing this. The political commissar and the two deputy commanders of the base even jumped up and accused Li Zhanxiong. The harsh words seemed to have no regard for the fact that the other party was from the base.
The identity of the No. 1 figure. Li Zhanxiong was ready to take responsibility and accept punishment from the beginning. He sat with his head bowed with a heavy face and allowed his colleagues to explode without any explanation.
Gao Tianjun on the side did not expect that things would turn out like this. He couldn't help it anymore, jumped up and said loudly: "Commanders, please don't blame Mr. Li! It was my idea to bring Katz to the base, and I should be responsible for everything.
Responsibility! Besides, the first thing we should study now is how to take feasible countermeasures to ensure the safety of Deng Kai and the spacecraft!"
"Gao Tianjun! Sit down!" Li Zhanxiong shouted, "It's not your turn to speak now!"
After listening to Gao Tianjun's words, the political commissar of the base thought that Li Zhanxiong had discussed with him in advance about letting Katz come to the base, and it had also been approved by the headquarters meeting. Now that an accident occurs, Li Zhanxiong should not be responsible for it alone.
Taking responsibility. He gradually calmed down and said to Li Zhanxiong: "Old Li, I was really shocked when I heard the news just now, so what I said was a bit extreme. Don't take it seriously!"
Seeing that the political commissar's attitude softened, the other two deputy commanders could not say anything more. They both sat back in their seats, shook their heads and sighed.
"I admit that we don't pay enough attention to Katz." Li Zhanxiong stood up and said solemnly. "In fact, we can fully imagine that our defense measures are simply vulnerable to the immortal people.
Therefore, from the beginning, I never thought about trapping him here; locking him in '3525' was just my best effort. The reason why I agreed to let Gao Tianjun bring him here is because I worked in '601'
I have witnessed the abilities of immortal people with my own eyes. Moreover, Katz and Jacob also provided valuable help to the research work of '601'. Before adopting Gao Tianjun's suggestion, I also specially retrieved the files of Interpol and carefully
I have researched Katz and found no criminal record or bad behavior in his history; what I particularly admire is that he is also a man with a sense of justice. While taking refuge in Shanghai during World War II, he was alone among a group of Japanese soldiers.
He bravely rescued a Chinese female student from the bayonet - this has now been proven - therefore, I don't think Katz had any subjective motive to sabotage our 'Express No. 1' operation. Today he is actually under our noses
Using super powers to pretend to board the spacecraft has indeed caused us a lot of trouble! It has brought shame on the faces of all of us here, and it may also have an adverse impact on everyone's political future. However, if we put aside the personal
Analyzing this matter based on his reputation and status, if it is true, as I said, that Katz did not take malicious actions or even sabotage actions on the spacecraft, but was helping Deng Kai successfully complete the "Express 1" mission, then we
What do my personal troubles mean?!
"Let's look back at Gao Tianjun and his '601' institute. What was the purpose of establishing '601' in the first place? I don't think everyone can say it clearly, but they know it in their hearts. As early as dozens of years before Eisen entered our field of vision,
Years or even hundreds of years ago, many people have witnessed or experienced countless supernatural events. The global attention and research on this was many years earlier than ours. We only followed the unknown phenomenon that happened to Aisen.
We started research in this area only because our work is highly relevant, not because someone’s head is hot for a while, let alone engaging in metaphysics, theology or superstition. We have adhered to a scientific and rigorous attitude from the beginning. Facts have proved that although we
The '601' institute started late, but because of the joining of Aisen and Yongshengren, it took us just over a year to obtain a large amount of valuable supernatural information. This information seemed to guide
We are groping forward in a certain direction, and we are constantly adding new information for us to verify. This is fundamentally different from the scattered and fanciful research conducted by other foreign institutions. As scientific workers, we
Everyone must have their own career beliefs, and must dare to dedicate and take responsibility for this career belief! In the long history of human society, each of us is insignificant, but as long as we continue to work hard with the strength of the group, our
Efforts will gather into a grain of 'gold sand'! And this small grain of 'gold sand' will be enough to become a shining 'signpost' in the process of scientific iteration and civilization development!"
Li Zhanxiong's impassioned speech undoubtedly conquered everyone present. However, although everyone can understand and agree with his point of view, it cannot eliminate their concerns about the spacecraft and even the "Express 1" mission.
"Comrade Zhanxiong, all the comrades in the headquarters will be your strong backing!" The political commissar stood up and solemnly took Li Zhanxiong's hand, "If we have to bear the responsibility, then we will all shoulder it together! Please feel free to make decisions boldly.
!"
Li Zhanxiong thought and said: "We have to believe Katz now..."
Deng Kai finally heard Li Zhanxiong's voice in the headset: "'Express No. 1', 'Express No. 1', this is the control center. If you hear it, please answer! If you hear it, please answer!"
"This is 'Express No. 1'! I am Deng Kai! Please give instructions, chief!" When Deng Kai replied, he was still staring at Katz from the corner of his eyes.
"Deng Kai, now I announce to you the decision of the command center: on the premise of ensuring the safety of the spacecraft, Katz's suggestion can be adopted if necessary. Now please turn on the transponder and keep in touch with the control center at any time. Do you understand?
”
"I understand...I'm sorry, I still didn't understand! Please repeat it again!" Deng Kai didn't understand why Li Zhanxiong made such a decision, and he was a bit pretentious emotionally.
"The command headquarters has decided to adopt Katz's suggestion if necessary while ensuring the safety of the spacecraft! Please turn on the transponder and keep the call open. Is it clear?"
"Roger! Got it!" Deng Kai turned off the headset, switched to the cabin open response, and then took off his helmet. He looked at Katz with an expression that was both helpless and funny.
"Thank you for your cooperation!" Katz extended a hand to Deng Kai.
Deng Kai snorted and ignored Katz's kindness.
"Oh, okay! Anyway, the mission is important!" Katz said helplessly. Then he asked: "Do you remember what I just asked you about the 'enchantment' of the 'parallel space'?"
"I've never heard of a 'boundary' in a 'parallel space'. What do you want to say?" Deng Kai secretly glanced at the indicator light of the transponder and saw that it was flashing. He knew that the base control center could hear it.
Conversation in the spaceship cabin.
"That's a special passage! If we go through there, we can reach Saturn within 5 days of Earth time!"
"5 days?!"
"5 days refers to Earth time, but we only need to experience a short moment on the spacecraft!"
"Please explain it more clearly." Deng Kai subconsciously glanced at the answering machine indicator light again.
Katz captured Deng Kai's consciousness. He pretended not to know and replied seriously: "Our universe is composed of countless 'parallel spaces', and they are intertwined and ubiquitous. Their interface is the 'junction' of each other.
"Boundary", where time does not exist."
Deng Kai has never believed in the so-called "parallel space", let alone the concept of "enchantment". He thinks that Katz is making a fuss, or even has an intention to control the spacecraft. He doesn't understand why Li Zhanxiong believes in this
Uninvited guest.
"Mr. Katz, this is Li Zhanxiong." The general's rich voice came from the transponder. "Please tell me again what the 'enchantment' is!"
Deng Kai turned on the visual system between the spacecraft and the control center. After the display flickered for a few seconds, a clear picture soon appeared - Li Zhanxiong was staring at them closely.
"General Li, regarding the 'Boundary' issue, please forgive me for not being able to explain it to you in detail. I just want you to believe that the 'Boundary' is real! If you still remember what you participated in in '601'
After this collective hypnosis experiment, you will believe in the effect of 'enchantment'."
"You mean, the collective hypnosis experiment is also a time-travel through the 'enchantment'?!"
"Yes! Not only can thoughts travel through space instantly through 'enchantment', but so can matter!"
"Why are you telling us this now?"
"Because now it's time for me to prove it to you." Katz's attitude was very firm. "General Li, in fact, you have no other choice but to believe me now. Don't you think so?!"
While Katz was concentrating on his conversation with Li Zhanxiong, Deng Kai quietly opened the tool box next to him, pulled out a wrench from it, and was ready to attack Katz at any time. Unexpectedly, Katz seemed to have rear eyes.
Just turning his head to look at him for a moment, his whole body went limp and he sat there unable to move.
"General Li, I believe you have seen that the spacecraft is now completely under my control. I do not want to hijack the spacecraft, nor will I harm Colonel Deng Kai. I have no ill intentions. I boarded your spaceship not only to help you, but also to help
We immortals help mankind. Now, whether you agree or disagree with the spacecraft entering the 'boundary', you can't stop me from doing this. The reason why I tell you is to show my sincerity in cooperation."
In the picture, Li Zhanxiong was deep in thought. After a moment, he said: "Okay! I agree with your suggestion to let the spacecraft enter the 'enchantment' channel. But what I want to emphasize is that all your actions will prove whether you immortals are really
We uphold the purpose of peace! Please respect yourselves! At the same time, please ensure the safety of Colonel Deng Kai! I will always keep in touch with you! I wish you good luck!"
"Thank you, General! However, you can rest for a few days. Because once the spacecraft enters, all radio communications may be blocked. Although we only experienced a moment on the spacecraft, on the earth's time scale, it will be a long time.
5 days!”
After Katz ended the video call, he turned back to Deng Kai, grinned, and started the orbiting engine...
The "Express 1" spacecraft deviated from the established route and quickly flew upwards at an angle of 60° to the ecliptic plane of the solar system. The earth below the spacecraft has now shrunk into a blue "marble" barely visible to the naked eye...
