Chapter 296
After the last call, the tower lost contact with the aircraft.
The rescue team drove the speedboat to the accident site at the first time. This was the second accident that happened within a day. Even the captain, who had been keeping calm all along, showed a rare expression of nervousness.
Astronaut training is indeed dangerous. The tragedy of Apollo 1 is still an eternal pain for NASA today. During the launch rehearsal test, the command/service module suddenly caught fire. At that time, the three crew members were sitting in it. The Christmas turkey in the oven, the high-pressure oxygen-enriched environment allowed the fire to spread rapidly, and all the astronauts inside were killed before the ground personnel arrived.
The disaster also put the Apollo program on hold for 20 months.
In the subsequent training, various accidents also occurred, but it was the first time that two astronaut candidates encountered accidents in different projects less than a few hours apart like today.
After the communication was cut off, the control tower didn't know what was going on with Zhang Heng.
Normally, for a twin-engine aircraft, if one engine is stopped, a pilot with certain flying experience may drive the plane back to the airport, or use this time to find a suitable landing point nearby. With the weight and design of the fighter after power, it is difficult to maintain the taxiing state for a long time.
Therefore, Zhang Heng's best choice when encountering this situation is skydiving.
However, the failure of Anthony's ejection seat just happened in the morning, which cast a shadow over many people's hearts.
On the other side, the expressions of the players were also a little uncertain. Not long ago, the meeting hosted by a middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual did not find out the murderer who killed Anthony, but logically it should have caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on the murderer. No one thought The opponent made a second shot so quickly.
And choose a goal that no one thinks should be the goal.
Zhang Heng is currently the best performer in training. From all aspects, he has basically locked in the first place in advance. Killing him can indeed make a space on Apollo 11, but in fact, for the people behind Said that it is far less cost-effective to do it to him than to do it to others.
In addition to being not easy to deal with, it is also because the results of killing the first and third place are the same, but considering the need to fly a spacecraft into space in the future, everyone must hope that the same The more reliable the teammates, the better. Therefore, the danger Zhang Heng faced was far worse than the second and third behind him.
And there is probably only one person who really has the motive to attack him.
"Why, why are you all looking at me? As if I'm a murderer." The feeble young man sniffed.
"You said you had no reason to kill Anthony because he couldn't threaten you, but this time you have a reason." Zhen Xie said.
"how to say?"
"You know how dangerous your current position is. The people behind you all want you to die, and after David's death, your grades are likely to be number one."
"And then?" The young man touched his chin.
"You and David are the only ones here who have the basics of piloting a plane. If David is lost, we will need you to fly the spacecraft."
"I like this statement. If I could choose, I would be happy to choose you as my moon landing teammate." The young man grinned.
"Go ahead and dream." Zhen Xi sneered.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so rude to my future commander. If you really have any dissatisfaction with me, you can knock on my door at night. I'd be happy to have a detailed one-on-one discussion with you." .” The feeble young man deliberately emphasized the word “deep”.
The middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual frowned, "Now that you have got what you want, then you can tell us how you did it, because you can know everyone's situation in advance about the training machine on the moon in the morning. The roll call order, you can do it last night, but how did you do it this time, how did you disable the engine, David's flying skills are still higher than yours, why didn't he check it out before takeoff , what's more, between you and David, Mark is separated, what game props did you use?"
"If I don't tell you, what are you going to do, bite me?" The young man raised his eyebrows.
"It's true that we need a man to fly the spacecraft, but that's after Apollo 11. Before that, we don't trust our lives to the kindness of others, let alone I'm sure You don’t have anything like that either.” The middle-aged man with an intellectual appearance wiped his glasses, “So in order to protect our personal safety in the future, either you show us the game item, tell us the trigger conditions and how to remove it, Or we'll take it ourselves, but then we'll probably take something else from you."
"Tsk tsk, uncle, you are much tougher than you appear on the surface, but unfortunately... you found the wrong person." The weak young man curled his lips, "I wish I could tell you how to make that plane crash , like I wish I could tell you how I killed that idiot named Anthony, but the truth is... this is the last time I'm going to repeat that, it's so stupid... Listen, I didn't kill them, I don't care what the rest of you think about it, I didn't do it, although in a way I personally don't hate what he did."
"We are wasting time. He has been lying all the time. We should control him immediately and search him." The high school student suggested.
"I agree." Zhen Xie said.
"Whoever of you dares to touch me first, I swear I will kill him. This is not a joke." The face of the feeble young man sank, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Why, if you didn't do it, why don't you dare to accept our search?" The middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual asked, "As you said yourself, after David died, you are now among us The person who is most suitable to fly a spacecraft, as long as you prove that these two things have nothing to do with you, you can securely get a place to watch the show, you want to complete the main task, don't you?"
"I won't show my hole cards to others before the outcome is clear." said the weak young man.
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, and the middle-aged intellectuals were not without concerns. This is the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base. Although they have an absolute advantage in numbers, it is difficult for them to use force directly.
And at this moment, Jia Lai, who had never spoken much, suddenly spoke, pointing in the direction of the beach not far away, and weakly said, "Ah...my eyesight is not good, do you think the person on the speedboat is David?" ?”
