Chapter 1431

"Flight N-177... This is the route control center. Your direction has deviated from the preset route. Please correct the route immediately..."

"Flight N-177...can you hear me, please?"

There was no response on the comm channel.

There was blood all over the cockpit of Flight N-177.

The voice in the communication channel is like the whisper of a ghost, wandering in the loneliness of no one answering.

After kicking the corpse next to him, Jean Rousas, who was wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, took off the headset from the ear of the captain whose head had been shot, and tapped it twice with his right index finger.

Following a string of electrical noises, he hijacked the communication channel and said unhurriedly.

"Flight N-177 has been hijacked by us."

"...within 100 kilometers, if we find any spacecraft approaching us through radar or visual observation."

There was a cruel smile on the corner of his stern mouth, staring at the pool of blood on the cockpit glass, the man continued.

"Every minute, we will clean a section of the 'cabin'."

"above."

After finishing speaking, he turned off the communication channel and threw the headset beside the corpse.

The other two militants standing in the cockpit stepped forward, removed the body lying in front of the cockpit, sat in the pilot's seat instead, and took over the flight.

"The remote communication module has been removed."

"Engine re-firing...power up to 95%."

"The course adjustment is completed, and it is expected to contact the target in 11 hours."

Hearing the report from the communication channel, an imperceptible frenzy appeared in Jean Rousas' pupils.

"very good……"

"Everything is going according to plan."

It won't be long...

The whole of Pan-Asia will be shrouded in their terror!

This is revenge and punishment!

Without the slightest hesitation, the militant sitting in the driver's seat replied cleanly.

"yes!"

Just when the route control center had just received the warning from the hijackers and hurriedly reported the alarm, the radar monitoring array of the Pan-Asian First Fleet had already discovered the abnormality of the situation.

A flight deviated from its original trajectory.

And not only that, the original flight from Mars to the earth arrived at this position, and the main engine should be turned off to slow down and enter the earth-moon system.

However, the flight did not slow down, nor did it make a large turn, and even went in the opposite direction, raising the speed to the limit, and continued to move forward in a straight line!

It seems to be planning to pass directly through the Earth-Moon system...

Pan-Asian First Fleet Command.

Standing in the command room, the commander of the Pan-Asian First Fleet had a serious expression on his face.

Just two minutes ago, they received an alarm from the airline dispatch center, and learned that flight N-177 was hijacked by unknown armed forces.

And about a minute ago, they had confirmed that the flight named N-177 was exactly the civilian transport spacecraft with an abnormal flight path they were monitoring.

"How is the situation now?"

Hearing the commander's inquiry, the staff sitting in front of the console immediately replied.

"The course of the spacecraft has not changed, and it is even accelerating!"

Hearing this sentence, the chief of staff standing beside frowned, and spoke after thinking for a moment.

"They probably intended to travel through the Earth-Moon system in a straight line."

"Go directly through the Earth-Moon system?" Looking at the chief of staff, the consultant standing aside said with an unbelievable expression on his face, "But how do they plan to stop? If they continue to accelerate, the remaining fuel is simply not enough They slow down. Those who miss the deceleration window will become asteroids drifting in the solar system... Doing so is tantamount to suicide!"

Aviation and spaceflight are not the same.

Airplanes on Earth run out of fuel and can still make an emergency landing, but if the fuel of a spaceship flying in space runs out, let alone find a place to make an emergency landing, the final end can only be turned into space junk, drifting almost forever Resign yourself to fate.

Looking at the predicted course outlined on the holographic star map, the commander frowned, an ominous premonition lingering in his heart all the time.

Generally speaking, although the pirates who wander around the asteroid belt occasionally serve as kidnappers in addition to plundering mining stations, they usually target those mining ships with poor maneuverability and space workstations with low defense coefficients .

In recent years, with the popularity of mining drones, fewer and fewer mining ships need to be operated manually, and kidnapping cases have almost disappeared.

Targeting a civilian transport ship with twelve pairs of engines, and kidnapping more than two hundred people at a time, such a major shocking robbery is unique in the history of Pan-Asian cooperation, even in the history of spaceflight in the world!

You must know that with such a large horizontal thrust limit and acceleration time, even a general military spacecraft may not be able to catch up within a dozen hours of "run-up".

Unless they had already started preparing for this robbery as soon as flight N-177 departed from the Mars orbiting space station.

"I propose to launch infrasonic missiles to suppress the people on the flight, and then take over the flight through remote control and guide it to dock at the nearest space station."

Hearing the suggestion from the consultant, the chief of staff immediately vetoed it.

"No! Infrasonic weapons will pose a threat to the safety of the hostages and may stimulate the hijackers. And if the power is not high, it will be difficult to have an effect on the full-coverage exoskeleton armor, and it is more likely to injure the pilot and cause the spacecraft to fail. Return!"

The consultant continued to ask without giving up.

"What about sending the ghost team to land?"

This time, it was the army adviser standing next to him who shook his head.

"Even the ghost team can't solve all the hijackers in the cabin class in an instant. And any mistake may threaten the lives of the hostages."

What's more, how to send the ghost team to the controlled flight is still a big problem that is difficult to solve.

Concealment is okay, but the spacecraft with 12 pairs of engines has been the first to start for two days.

You know, the chase in space is not just a chase of distance, but also a competition of speed!

If the two key parameters of speed and direction cannot achieve approximate synchronization with the target, even if the two spacecraft meet in space, they will just pass by, or they will crash into a mass of scrap iron, or they will not any story happens.

After listening to the combat plan proposed by his subordinates, the commander standing in front of the console pondered for a while, and then gave an order.

"Start the A.I. battlefield analysis system to simulate the result of the operation."

The staff sitting in front of the console responded immediately.

"yes!"

The A.I. battlefield analysis system was launched soon. According to the real-time calculation results of the quantum computer, the success rate of plan A is less than 3%, and the success rate of plan B is even more pitiful, only less than 1%.

According to the results of channel calculations, flight N-177 will arrive at the Earth-Moon system in at most 11 hours, pass directly through the Earth-Moon system at an unimaginably fast speed, and enter an elliptical orbit around the sun with a voyage period of 124 years , completely out of control.

There was no dormant cabin on the flight, and the supplies he carried couldn't even last for a week.

Once the deceleration window period is missed, it is dead, and there is no second possibility at all.

Just as the people in the command room were discussing countermeasures, footsteps came from outside the command room, and a man in his 50s, wearing a formal suit and combing his hair back came in.

When this man walked into the command room, everyone had a look of embarrassment on their faces.

This person's name is Wu Zongwen, and he is a member of the Central Council of Pan-Asian Cooperation.

Since he has appeared here, the news that the flight was hijacked must have been overwhelming.

"Your Excellency, I need an explanation."

Looking at the man who walked into the command room, the commander had a headache expression on his face, but soon he hid this expression behind his stern face, and said in a concise tone.

"Flight N-177 was hijacked by unknown armed men. We are trying to confirm the identity of the armed men and rescue the introduced passengers—"

"I didn't come to listen to you retelling those news! Now the whole Internet is discussing this matter, don't take me for a fool!" Interrupting the commander, Councilor Wu Zongwen said in a stern voice, "I hope you can really realize The seriousness of the problem, and properly solve the problem."

The Commander said with a stiff face.

"We're working on it!"

Wu Zongwen: "What is the plan?"

"We are trying to communicate with the pick-up people on flight N-177 through the nearest space station. No matter what their demands are, we will try to persuade them to slow down and communicate with our negotiators."

"Very good." The expression on Wu Zongwen's face eased a little, and he continued, "If you can negotiate, try not to provoke them. No matter what demands they make, let's stabilize them first."

The commander nodded, just about to respond to this sentence.

However, at this moment, the military advisor who was standing beside the command room, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Maybe, they don't want anything."

The moment they heard this sentence, everyone in the command room was stunned.

Looking at the person who spoke, the commander narrowed his eyes.

Yang Wu, the former PLA general staff, from 2050, is currently serving as the military advisor of the Pan-Asian First Fleet.

The reason for going to the future was that the authorities at that time hoped to ensure the future combat effectiveness of the army by sending officers to the era of future war risks in the peaceful era.

Because according to the international situation at that time, Huaguo's judgment was that if the Human Alliance disintegrated, a major war would probably break out within 50 years.

However, as everyone knows, the expected all-out war did not break out, and it has even continued to this day.

The awakened Yang Wu also canceled his original work arrangement because of the plan to reinforce the future, and was instead assigned to the Pan-Asian First Fleet as a consultant.

Like other dormant people who were sent to this era due to historical issues, although he was assigned a specific job, he did not have much say in this position. He is neither capable of commanding the armies of this age, nor is it possible for people of this age to trust an antique from the past.

In essence, there is no difference between him and Director Li, they are both supported by the Pan-Asian Cooperation Authority as a mascot.

"You don't want anything?" The army adviser frowned and said incredulously, "How is this possible? This is the first time I've heard of a kidnapper who doesn't want a ransom."

"Not all ransom money needs to be demanded from the other party." After a pause, Yang Wu continued, "This may be a suicide attack."

No one believed it.

"It's impossible!" The army adviser standing aside flatly vetoed, "Where is the gain for them to do this? Apart from spreading panic—"

"It's spreading panic," Yang Wu continued in a calm tone, "By spreading panic, they can achieve their ulterior motives. I'm even sure that what they're plotting isn't cheap."

After the commander was silent for a while, he opened his mouth and gave an order.

"Start the AI ​​battlefield analysis system and evaluate the possibilities described by Consultant Yang."

"yes!"

With the quantum computer activated, the results of the evaluation came out quickly.

According to the judgment of the AI ​​battlefield analysis system, the probability assessment result obtained is less than 5%.

Looking at the 5% figure, Yang Wu shook his head and said.

"You believe in the results of AI analysis too much, just like medieval witches who are superstitious about crystal balls."

After writing a glance at the consultant named Yang Wu, Councilor Wu Zongwen standing next to him sarcastically said in a faint voice.

"It might have happened in the savage early 21st century, but now it's the 22nd century, you'd better change your mind earlier."

After speaking, Wu Zongwen no longer cared about the little consultant, but looked at the commander standing beside him, and said in a warning tone.

"I warn you, no matter what, this matter must be handled properly, especially not to allow hostage casualties!"

"If this matter is not handled properly, the public will question Chairman Li Guangya's ability, and it may even affect the development plan for the distant planets of Jupiter!"

"Ensure the safety of all hostages at all costs!"

"Do you get me?"

Facing that aggressive tone, the commander was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

"clear."
