I kidnapped an alien civilization

spaceship ground command center

The hall, which can accommodate 500 people, is extremely crowded, and people's eyes are fixed on the large screen hanging on the wall.

On the huge screen, various data of the spacecraft are displayed in real time, and the countdown in the upper left corner shows that the spacecraft will be launched in 10 minutes.

"The battery system is normal."

"The internal voltage of the engine is normal"

"The life support system is normal."

The staff of the spacecraft project team is checking the indicators of the pilot one by one.

The spaceship is a super-complex mechanical body. Even if strict standards are adopted during the assembly process, it is difficult to avoid defects caused by flaws in parts, so routine inspections before launch are particularly important.

"Commander, everything is normal!"

"The spaceship can be launched according to the scheduled time!"

The staff reported the final inspection results to a long-haired woman in red, and then stood aside waiting for her order.

This scene stunned the "People's Observation Team" in the back row of the command center. They were people from all walks of life specially invited by Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory to watch the launch ceremony of the spacecraft.

"Why is the commander-in-chief of the spaceship launch a woman?"

"Where's the boss of Mozi Technology?"

"what happened?"

"What do you know, this woman is not simple, she is Professor Li Mo's assistant."

"Her name is Xia Qing, and she is the number two person in Mozi Technology."

"Look down on women?"

"Since Professor Li Mo didn't show up, it's only natural for Xia Qing to be the commander-in-chief!"

A burst of noisy discussions came from the back row.

The commander-in-chief of the spaceship, Xia Qing, had a complex expression on his face, a little bit relieved, a little bit reluctant, a little bit of surprise and melancholy.

"Bad boss!"

"It's enough for the Navigator to be driven by professional astronauts. Why do you have to complete the maiden voyage yourself?"

The matter started two days ago. When Xia Qing learned that the spacecraft had been transported to the Gobi Desert launch center and was expected to be launched in 3 days, she was filled with joy.

This is humanity's first real spaceship.

And it's the brainchild of the boss.

The boss suspended all scientific research projects in the laboratory for the pilot, and invested all the profits earned by the Moxing battery and quantum chips into the research and development of the spacecraft.

Xia Qing, who is in charge of the laboratory's finances, clearly knows that with the frequent increase in the budget of the spaceship project, the financial situation of Mozi Technology can be said to be very bad in recent months. The spacecraft project is like a bottomless pit. If it continues like this, it will soon affect the normal operation of Mozi Technology.

Fortunately, the Navigator was finally manufactured.

She was secretly happy when she received a call from her boss.

Li Mo's gentle voice on the phone made her daydream: "Is this a celebration?"

When she was wearing a noble black dress, she pushed open the door of the office, only to find that the boss, Li Mo, was standing in front of the star map in a daze.

Unexpected candlelight, red wine, flowers.

Xia Qing was inevitably a little disappointed, she asked softly: "Boss, what do you need from me?"

Li Mo was still standing in front of the star map, staring closely at the red planet on the map.

for a long time

"you say."

"If I can set foot on the land of Mars myself, how good would it be to caress the sand and dust on the surface of Mars with my hands?" Li Mo turned his head, his eyes were burning with fire.

"You mean?" Xia Qing was startled.

Li Mo patted the desk lightly, "I have already decided that I will personally drive the Navigator to Mars in three days."

"Can't!"

"Absolutely not!" Xia Qing screamed, "The spaceship is too dangerous!"

An important reason why astronauts are deeply respected by the general public is that this profession is too dangerous. According to the current level of space technology for humans on earth, once a spacecraft breaks down during launch or flight, it will be very difficult for the astronauts on it. There is a chance of survival, such space tragedies are not uncommon in the history of human spaceflight.

The more important point is that the Navigator is a new concept spacecraft, all design work is done in the laboratory, and has not undergone any practical verification, which undoubtedly greatly increases the probability of failure of the spacecraft.

"Absolutely not!"

"If you really want to set foot on the pilot, I'll call my aunt." Xia Qing knew the boss's stubborn character, and once he made a decision, it was difficult to change.

Li Mo widened his eyes and sighed: "Hey, which astronaut knows this spaceship better than me?"

"Everything about the Navigator is engraved here." He said, pointing to his head.

"With me here, even if the Navigator breaks down in space, it may be repaired in time."

"So there's no one better suited to be on the ship than me."

After speaking, he sat down and looked at Xia Qing with sincere eyes: "And, you know, what this Navigator's trip to Mars means to the Mozi Technology Laboratory and to the entire human race!"

"Maybe with it, we humans can break free from the shackles of the earth in one fell swoop."

"In the history of aerospace, there are many rocket projects that were frozen because of an accidental tragedy. Do you have the heart to waste our hard work?"

"But." Xia Qing was momentarily at a loss for words.

"No but!" A confident smile appeared on Li Mo's face, "Remember, failure never exists in my dictionary."

Seeing his confident face, Xia Qing's heart softened, she knew that she was persuaded by this man again.

Since it cannot be stopped, it is better to join it, which can also increase the probability of success.

"What do you need me to do?" She knew that Li Mo's every seemingly absurd decision must have been carefully considered, and he must have taken all accidents into consideration.

"I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the spaceship launch, responsible for a series of tasks such as spaceship launch, flight monitoring, real-time communication, and return guidance." A smile appeared on the corner of Li Mo's mouth. Someone who can be trusted enough.

"I?"

"I don't know much about the entire launch process of the spaceship. How can I take on such an important task?" Xia Qing was surprised. Judgment ability can accurately judge whether the launch can be carried out according to the real-time status of the spacecraft. It can also be said that this position largely determines the success or failure of the spacecraft launch.

"I know that, in fact, the Navigator does not require dangerous refueling like traditional spacecraft. Its launch is very simple. As long as the various data meet the expected standards, it means that the spacecraft is normal."

"This is the spaceship manual I made for the Navigator. It lists various situations that may occur on the spaceship, as well as the need to make judgments and support on the ground. You just need to memorize it and follow the manual to operate it. .” Li Mo said, and took a thick stack of materials from the bookshelf.

"Commander, is it possible to launch now?" At this moment, the signalman at the side pulled Xia Qing from his memory back to reality.

The real-time data of various spacecraft on the big screen fully complies with the launch standards in the spacecraft manual.

She took a deep breath: "Start the countdown to the launch, and the launch will take place in 3 minutes!"

Boss, your spaceship manual must not be wrong.
