A Million Possible

Chapter 643

Mourning clothes… Cheng Lin glanced at the white and bloated spacesuits, thinking that the color was really appropriate.

As for the meaning, it is more appropriate. After all, no matter whether this mission is successful or not, none of them will have the chance to survive.

Hearing Li Yang’s words, the others showed a relieved smile from their dullness, and the dull atmosphere was suddenly broken.

Among them, a few people rushed over excitedly, picked up a set corresponding to their own names, compared them, and laughed: “This is the first time we have worn this in our life.”

The first and last time.

The rest of the people also squeezed out their cigarette butts and stood up. Cheng Lin walked over and picked up the set with his name on it, and put it on with the help of the staff next to it. I really don’t understand this thing without any guidance. There are also buttons on the surface, including the most important oxygen bag.

Because it is deep in the plants, it is impossible to use pipelines to transport oxygen from the spacecraft. It can only be carried by itself. For the special mission, these spacesuits are customized and modified, which increases the oxygen storage and adds weight, but It is not a problem in the weightless environment of space.

“Click.”

After buckling the button on the belt, Cheng Lin also figured out how to use the clothes. After feeling it, it was quite heavy and very sultry.

He lowered his head and saw a special metal area sewn on the surface of the clothes on his chest. When he pressed it, a light spot began to flicker.

“This is the signal source, which can detect vital signs, and corresponds to everyone. In this case, the signal can be used on the ground to determine whether the person wearing the clothes is Death, and it also has the role of positioning. In this case, as long as one of us is alive , The ground will know where we are.”

Shen Shanjing explained, pausing: “Or, more accurately, knowing the position of the warhead.”

Yes, just like the analogy he said before, their fifteen “viruses” are too small for the “plant hegemon” to attract attention, but the “immunity” within the plant is bound to be They cause great obstacles.

Perhaps people will die on the way in, and many people may die.

As long as there is one person alive, he must take over the task of carrying the warhead and move forward.

“I understand.” Cheng Lin pursed his mouth and nodded without saying anything. Then he tugged at the corner of his mouth, not wanting to be infected by the surrounding atmosphere, but it seemed difficult to do it.

After studying for a while, everyone took off the spacesuit again. This thing was too uncomfortable to wear. After getting familiar with it, it was too late to wear it after going out.

Cheng Lin thought that he would take advantage of the time to conduct some knowledge training on space shuttle control, but he did not. According to Shen Shanjing, the real astronauts wanted to collect samples and returned to the flight, but they didn’t need it.

“Have you seen a war drama in ancient costumes? There is a kind of’rocket’, heh, not the kind of rocket we are going to sit on, but a’rocket’ that is wound around the tip of an arrow with a combustible material, then ignited and shot out. ‘And we are like that burning fire.”

Shen Shanjing stroked the round spacesuit helmet, and looked at the real-time image of the Universe displayed on the big screen in front, which was shot by the satellite and sent back. In his eyes, it seemed that there was a flame burning.

In silence, fifteen people sat together, chatting a little bit, chatting about cars, houses, Eight Trigrams and the news, and chatting about the “little things” that were always mentioned after dinner in peaceful times, but not about life and death.

There is no generosity and tragedy, for the nation, the country, or the human beings. People who can sit here already have a mortal heart. To talk about those things, it seems very boring.

Time passed bit by bit, and five hours later, the kitchen delivered a meal that was not rich. The specifications were very simple. It was not reluctant, but considering that it should not affect the action because of satiety.

The food is mainly congee Steamed bun. Fifteen people sitting together eating Steamed bun, eating very slowly, as if every bite is worth cherishing.

As he ate, Cheng Lin saw that the taciturn young man who entered the team with him through the “application” suddenly began to weep, and his tears were dripping into the white porridge. Keep choking and can’t drink.

A dozen other men and women with sullen faces seemed to be struck by his actions, and then the infection spread one by one. Even Shen Shan Jingjing started to start eating after sensing his gaze, and then continued to eat casually. .

Cheng Lin was silently invaded in this unspeakable atmosphere, unconsciously picked up the bowl, took a sip, the porridge was thick, warm, and salty.

Finally, when the time came to the eighth hour, several people received instructions for action.

Shi Shengcun stood up, put on the spacesuit first, clamped the helmet with his left arm, and said calmly and lightly, “Go.”

Leaning against the corner of the wall, Li Yang pushed the unknown number of small cigarettes on the wall, then exhaled, raised the volume and picked up the helmet: “Get up, go!”

“gone!”

“gone!”

A person spit out these two words as if cathartic, put on his clothes, clipped his helmet, squeezed together, walked out, walked along the corridor to the end of the metal door, and then saw the two sliding doors facing left and right. Move away.

The next second, fifteen people were all stunned. They were stunned to see that outside the door, in the lobby of the launch center, on the white marble floor reflecting the lights, neatly full of people.

Those are the researchers in the launch center, the officers and soldiers who are in charge of the escort who don’t know which army is transferred from, the other awakeners of the power bureau who have not been selected, and everything in this building except the necessary technology operators. people.

Hundreds of people with different clothes, different genders, different identities, and different ages don’t know when to stand quietly behind the door, drop their hands, and wait here in awe, only in the center of the hall, leading to the door. The direction left a narrow path.

“This is……”

Fifteen people were stunned at the door, feeling helpless for a while, Shi Shengcun subconsciously looked at Liang Jing who was standing in front, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he didn’t say it.

Liang Jing seemed to understand his thoughts, and just shook his head.

In the next second, she suddenly took a deep breath, waved her right arm, her palm straight across her head, and then shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: “Salute!!”

Then, as if rehearsing countless times, in the huge launch center, hundreds or thousands of staff members, no matter where they are, all raised their right arms at the same time, their fingers were level, and they were close to the side, sending out neatly. The brushing sound!

No passionate preaching!

No generous submissions!

There is nothing to show off!

No drums, no fireworks, no hustle and bustle!

Only solemn!

Silent solemnity!

A silent and solemn ceremony rendered by countless pairs of firm, moist eyes, countless straight, trembling hands!

In the silence, the fifteen people straightened their waists almost at the same time, and then I don’t know who took the lead in holding up the aerospace helmets sandwiched under the armpits, holding them up with both hands, and putting them on in public.

Cheng Lin stared at everything quietly, followed everything almost mechanically, put on a helmet, tightened the zipper, and then slowly and forcefully followed the narrow and clear road, walked out of the gate facing countless eyes, and then not far away. The rocket launcher that had already been erected walked away.

When they walked out of the gate, they suddenly heard Liang Jing’s shout from behind:

“We will look at you on the ground and look at each of you! The Universe is very cold, but I want you to remember that there are seven billion people with you behind you!”

After a short pause, the fifteen people continued to move forward, no longer hesitating.

…

…

Fifteen minutes later, Cheng Lin sat in the own seat inside the Rockets, and for the fifth time confirmed that the straps were secure.

Immediately, he let out a sigh of relief, glanced at the familiar and unfamiliar companions around him, and heard the sound of a countdown from inside the rocket.

“10, 9, 8…”

“4, 3, 2…1…0…”

“ignition!!”

The next second, there was a rumbling, the huge rocket launch tower opened, and a thick white fog rose up. Globally, three rockets of Xia State, Federation, and Soviet Union, carrying three 10-million-ton warheads, officially lifted into the sky. !
