Chapter 298

Although the million-dollar fighter jet fell into the water and was scrapped, everyone in NASA was relieved that Zhang Heng returned safely.

Two serious accidents happened in succession on the same day. If there are two more astronaut candidates who have accidents, although they are not accidents that affect the moon landing plan, ordinary people will definitely not care so much. In fact, since Congress approved Since the beginning of the Apollo program, the voices of civil opposition have never stopped.

More and more people question whether this expensive expenditure is justified. Whether the so-called space race and moon landing are just cosmetic projects, and the political significance is far greater than the practical significance. You must know that the money could have been used to improve people's livelihood, education, or With the improvement of medical care, more poor people can eat their stomachs, the unemployed receive more subsidies, and people of color get more respect.

Those media that are quick to hear the news will definitely catch such a thing and chase after it. Fortunately, unlike Anthony before, Zhang Heng miraculously survived the accident.

However, after returning to the shore, he was not able to join the other players, but was taken directly to the infirmary. Although he was not injured in the accident on the surface, the medical team gave him another treatment to be safe. After a full physical examination, Zhang Heng was taken to a conference room to be questioned by the accident investigation team after confirming that he was in good health.

Including the reasons for the engine stalling at that time, Zhang Heng's countermeasures, the status of the fighter jets, and a series of issues, as well as the subsequent escape process.

Because of the existence of the cruise ship, Zhang Heng did not hide anything, and basically told the truth, including that the fighter jet lost its power and was involved in the tornado, and then completed the ditching, but he only concealed the fact that he used [Betty's Shell] to control the tornado detail.

The people in the accident investigation team felt like they were listening to a fairy tale. Although the possibility Zhang Heng said could not be ruled out in theory, their rich professional experience told them that the chance of such a thing happening was too small.

Originally, the probability of the left and right engines stopping at the same time in the air was very small, and even if they happened to catch up with a tornado, this kind of situation would not be written in a novel, but they did do a lot of homework before coming. The waterspout at that time was far from the coast Not far away, there were still many people who saw it, plus the witnesses on the cruise ship, their statement was exactly the same as Zhang Heng's statement.

So although it is hard to believe emotionally, they can only accept this only explanation in the end.

In addition, the people in the accident investigation team also paid special attention to the problem of the ejection device. The tragedy in the morning was related to the failure of the ejection device of the lunar landing training plane. When there is a glitch, it is easy to wonder if there is any connection between the two.

NASA has sent a salvage team to salvage the jet that fell into the water, intending to conduct a detailed investigation. In addition, the investigation team also specifically asked Zhang Heng about the possibility of sabotage.

…………

When all the investigations were completed and it was already evening, the investigation team informed Zhang Heng that he would no longer be allowed to fly until the final investigation report came out. Zhang Heng had no objection to this result, which was equivalent to protecting the He, before the murderer is found, he doesn't want to do the previous thing again.

After eating, Zhang Heng returned to the class of aerodynamics.

However, not long after he sat down, he received a small note with a very simple content, only one sentence.

——You are also suspicious of Bruno, see you in the corridor at three o'clock tonight.

Bruno was the name of the weak young man in the copy. The note was sent by Zhen Xie, but the person who wrote the note was a middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual.

The latter nodded secretly at Zhang Heng after he got the note.

Zhang Heng was not too surprised. There were two accidents in succession. One succeeded and the other failed. Other players must also be worried about their own safety. They want to work hard to find the murderer and figure out how the other party keeps causing accidents.

At present, players other than Bruno seem to have joined together and reached a certain consensus. They believe that Bruno is the most suspected, and they don't intend to let the other party take the initiative to decide the life and death of other players, so they decided to take the initiative.

This basically means that Bruno is out of the game early, because no matter whether he is the real murderer or not, after a complete turnaround, other players will not leave this threat anymore, and there are already many people in his position. Just stare, now that Zhang Heng survived, Bruno's role is not that great.

The four teamed up, and Bruno had almost no chance of winning if he did mental calculations or not. The reason why the middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual invited Zhang Heng to join was not because of his strength, but to prevent him from telling NASA about it. people.

This is undoubtedly very sensible.

Two accidents happened in a row in one day. Judging from the previous problems of the accident investigation team, they obviously also suspected the possibility of man-made.

At this time, if you do it again, even if it can be disguised as an accident, it will take a lot of risk. Only the relationship of accomplices can keep the secret as much as possible.

Zhang Heng did not hesitate for long before agreeing to the middle-aged man's proposal.

Regardless of whether Bruno is the murderer or not, killing Bruno is undoubtedly beneficial to him now. Even if the other four don't do anything, Zhang Heng will find a way to get Bruno out first to ensure his own safety. Now that the two sides have the same goal , Zhang Heng has no reason to refuse.

And this result was obviously not what the middle-aged man expected.

During the subsequent physical training, the middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual found an opportunity to come to Zhang Heng's side, and briefly talked with him about the night's action plan, but the two soon separated again in order not to arouse Bruno's vigilance Well, the middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual even specially called everyone together, expressing the hope that another meeting will be held at noon tomorrow to continue the discussion that was not completed before.

Bruno seemed very disapproving of this, but even so, he found Zhang Heng after the physical training, indicating that what happened on the fighter plane in the afternoon had nothing to do with him, and at the same time expressed his desire to form an alliance with Zhang Heng. Bruno obviously knew that he The relationship with other players is not good now, and the support of the alliance is urgently needed.

According to him, he and Zhang Heng are the two players with the best training performance among the players, and joining forces can further guarantee the success rate of landing on the moon.

Zhang Heng replied that he would consider it, but when the hands of the clock pointed to three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Heng opened the door according to the agreement.
