Chapter 134: Blacklist

In the vast expanse of space, getting lost is the most dangerous thing. Here, the front, rear, left, and right sides are all pitch black, and all are the same starry sky. Without the assistance of the instrument, it is impossible for you to have a chance of surviving.

Due to the limitation of the fuel carried by the spacecraft, the orbit of space travel must be set very accurately, so even if you can see the sun, it is not feasible to rely on the visual sun to navigate the spacecraft, because the visual error is too large, During such a voyage, just the waste of fuel caused by frequent orbit adjustments can kill a spacecraft.

Disorientation and running out of fuel are the most common woes encountered by adventurer ships who make their way to Jupiter without permission. Under such circumstances, they generally send broadcasts in the approximate direction of the earth. If these broadcasts are received by the earth, they can get some help to return to the earth. Because of this, those signals are often not detected by the earth side. This is entirely a matter of chance.

The Adventurer Rescue Organization is such a non-profit organization. After receiving or someone reporting information about adventurers who have encountered danger, the Adventurer Rescue Organization will try to contact the adventurers, provide them with professional advice on spacecraft maintenance and orientation, and help them return to Earth.

Now, such an unlucky ghost sent a message in the direction of the earth, and it happened to be received by Zhao Lan.

"You're lucky to have met me." Zhao Lan thought lightly, and after finding out the contact information of the Adventurers' Rescue Organization, she forwarded the message there, along with the approximate location and frequency of the signal. and other information.

Also due to the limitation of signal strength, it is unrealistic for Zhao Lan to directly contact the spacecraft that is in danger. Zhao Lan was able to receive this signal because of a coincidence, but the adventurer probably didn't have enough luck to receive Zhao Lan's reply. The Adventurers Rescue Organization is different, there are professionals and professional equipment to deal with such things.

"We have received your message. On behalf of our adventurer rescue organization, I would like to thank you for your support and cooperation to our organization. Because of your help. That adventurer may finally return to Earth smoothly. Your kind deed may have saved a life."

The reply from the adventurer rescue organization came soon. Zhao Lan put this matter behind her mind and didn't pay too much attention to it. The human government has issued repeated orders to strictly prohibit adventurers from launching space adventures without permission, and it has clearly stated that it will not provide assistance to anyone who violates the prohibition on space adventures. There is a meaning of courting death on purpose. Helping them contact the Adventurer Rescue Organization casually can be regarded as doing their best.

Although the human government's prohibition of "not providing any assistance" seems cruel, it has a very reasonable balance of interests. Because if the human government provides assistance to the adventurers, then the adventurers who were originally weak-willed may become determined to take risks because of this, and this will inevitably lead to more resource expenditures. And cause more adventurers to die in space. And if it is announced in advance that "no help will be provided", then the number of people who will eventually choose to still take space adventures will be much reduced. decrease very much. Therefore, from the perspective of interests, this provision is very reasonable.

During the next journey, Zhao Lan received the same distress message five more times. Zhao Lan's spaceship was also advancing at a high speed. It could be considered a coincidence that it received a distress signal once in a while, but it was incomprehensible to receive the same signal five times in a row. So Zhao Lan contacted the Adventurer Rescue Organization again. But before Zhao Lan could speak, the message from the Adventurer Rescue Organization came to Zhao Lan: "Sorry to disturb you again, Ms. Zhao Lan. Excuse me, are you sure that the signal you forwarded to us came from the deep space The distress signal received from the adventurer. Is it not your prank? You claim that you received the distress signal five times, but we used a professional high-power communication antenna to point it in the direction you described. During this time We haven't received any message yet."

The personnel and equipment in the Adventurer Rescue Organization are all professional. They can even use three giant antennas with a diameter of 18 meters to receive radio signals. Naturally, the antennas on Zhao Lan’s Silvia spaceship cannot be compared with They compare. Then, if Zhao Lan can receive the signal, there is no reason why the Adventurer Rescue Organization cannot receive the signal.

Zhao Lan almost laughed angrily at the message sent by the Adventurer Rescue Organization. Zhao Lan responded in a very bad tone: "Do you look like I am a person who likes to play tricks on others?"

The words in the message sent by the Adventurer Rescue Organization are still very humble: "Sorry, that's not what we mean, we just want to reconfirm the relevant information with you. Our Adventurer Rescue Organization is just a public welfare organization. Our funds are limited, Manpower is limited. We can't waste resources where it doesn't make sense."

"Then you can do whatever you want." Zhao Lan responded unhappily, "Anyway, I have fulfilled my obligations as a human being, and what happens next has nothing to do with me."

This time, the Adventurer Rescue Organization sent a reply very quickly: "Ms. Zhao Lan, thank you for your cooperation and support in our work, and wish you a happy life."

Then the communication was cut off, and there was no news from the Adventurer Rescue Organization.

But at this moment, Zhao Lan received that phantom-like distress signal again: "This is the Yuanwang spaceship...I need help very much."

Zhao Lan frowned in displeasure, and then ignored the message. Then ten minutes later, this distress message appeared again.

"Perhaps an adventurer really encountered danger." Zhao Lan thought in this way, "This is a life after all, I'd better not be too rash."

Thinking this way, Zhao Lan forwarded this message to the adventurer rescue organization again.

In the next two hours, Zhao Lan received four more distress calls. After the fourth distress call, the reply from the adventurer rescue organization finally arrived. The difference is that this time the replyer's tone has become quite rude: "Ms. Zhao Lan, we are very grateful for your trust in us, but please don't bother us with some pranks anymore, can you? Our The staff are exhausted from the long-term high workload, they are all volunteers, all of them volunteered to work here without pay, and then they have to deal with pranks like you while helping adventurers If you still have a little sympathy, please end your boring behavior, on behalf of all the staff in our Adventurer Rescue Center, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

No matter how well-mannered a person is, I'm afraid they will fly into a rage when they are questioned like this. The same is true for Zhao Lan. But before Zhao Lan could refute back, the communication was cut off. Zhao Lan tried to reestablish information contact, but was rejected by the adventurer rescue organization.

Zhao Lan knew that he had probably been added to the communication blacklist by them, and he had become an unwelcome person to the Adventurer Rescue Organization.

Zhao Lan resentfully gave up the idea of ​​continuing to contact them, but at this moment, that ghostly distress signal appeared again in the communication station of the Silvia spacecraft.

Zhao Lan finally determined that this was probably really a prank. This must be some whimsical, ingenious harasser who came up with a new idea to strike up a conversation with him. And he was used by him to act as a fool with the adventurer rescue organization. So the anger in Zhao Lan's heart couldn't bear it anymore, Zhao Lan said very bluntly: "Sir, please respect yourself! Please don't harass me anymore. For you, I have been added to the blacklist by the Adventurer Rescue Organization bingo!"

If it is a smart person, he can probably decipher a lot of information from this sentence. This passage clearly shows that Zhao Lan has contacted the Adventurer Rescue Organization many times, and the Adventurer Rescue Organization must have not received the distress message just now. That's why the adventurer rescue organization added Zhao Lan to the blacklist, and that's why Zhao Lan thought it was just a prank.

Zhao Lan didn't expect his message to be received by the other party. The reason for doing this is purely to vent the anger in my heart. But it was very strange that Zhao Lan received the answer after a communication delay.

Zhao Lan looked at it. The interval between the two pieces of information was one minute and forty seconds, which meant that the distance between the source of the information and himself would not exceed 15 million kilometers at most. And based on Zhao Lan's current location, the location of the information source must be within the orbit of Mars. And since that source was within the orbit of Mars...then his earlier statement that he got lost en route to Jupiter was clearly proven to be a lie.

So the anger in Zhao Lan's heart became even stronger. But the content of this newly received piece of information made Zhao Lan fall into even greater doubts.

"Excuse me... are you human?" (to be continued ~^~)
