Chapter 1593 Completely shocked
"What, what...?!"
I was immersed in joy just now, but I didn't expect that this feeling lasted for less than two minutes. The tall Leslie Groves, the head of the NASA space project, suddenly looked at the big screen in disbelief, looked at the numbers that kept scrolling for a while, then took off his glasses and looked at the left and right with a blank look on his face.
Wherever you see, everyone looked confused or started working in a hurry, but no one knew how the low-probability accident of "track deviation" occurred in the unboosted section where the danger had passed?
It's impossible, this makes no sense. Just thirty seconds ago, the "Atlantis" that left the foreign storage fuel tank was still steadily pressing the trajectory line and rushing over the Atlantic Ocean. Next, as long as the orbital adjustment engine works normally - in fact, it does work normally, the orbiter should enter the orbit without any mistakes, then...
Confusion, panic, and unavoidable frustration made everyone in the main control hall busy, until a duty officer in front of a console took off his headphones, stood up blankly, and signaled to Groves, who was at a loss in front of the big screen. After hearing the explanation, the project leader who was running over quickly put his ear on the receiver with a confused look on his face. Soon, he turned his hair in a daze and asked:
"You...sure, is this a signal from 'Atlantis'?
But what does this mean? Alan? He kept calling without answering, they should have-"
"Mr._Groves,—Sir!"
The person in charge was holding his headphones and was confused. He asked the researcher next to him, but the project assistant who followed him was pale in an instant. He shouted twice behind Groves, but the latter clearly didn't hear it. So he raised his hand and patted his burly boss. When he turned his head to review, he shouted loudly in the messy control hall:
"Boss, it's amazing. I know what happened. That guy must be a Russian spy who escaped before. He hijacked 'Atlantis'!"
While panting rapidly, he shouted out speculations. The assistant didn't pay attention to the surroundings at all. With his roar like thunder, the noise in the huge room quickly disappeared. When he blurted out the last sentence "hijacked 'Atlantis'!", he blurted out, and the entire control room suddenly became silent. Only equipment that was not affected by human emotions was still working, making a monotonous "drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-drip-d
A shocking saying, for all those present, was like a thunderbolt. After a brief silence, the KSC center control room suddenly exploded.
“What…?
What_the_hell?"
"Robert,—Are_you_serious?What_makes_you_so..."
The meaning of the project assistant Robert was hit by a sentence. The meaning is a hundred times more strange than the "orbital deviation" of the orbiter. Although the attendees are experts in the aerospace field, they are completely amateurs in this regard. A group of people immediately became popular and started shouting. Some of them caught the duty officer and asked in confrontation. Some of them held their heads with their hands in disbelief. Some even sat in a chair, staring at the display screen in a daze. In the end, the CIA supervisor present was the first to stabilize his emotions and shouted in a deep voice:
"Hey, - you, right? What happened just now? Cut out the channel!
Is the track still deviating? Groves, you ask someone to investigate the matter immediately, and what is happening in Atlantis?”
The ground was in chaos. At this moment, on an elliptical orbit hundreds of kilometers away from the ground, the white "Atlantis" was flying at a speed of 7.8 kilometers per second. The tail flame of the two track adjustment engines was particularly bright. However, there was some deviation between the direction of the orbiter's advance and the planned route of the STS-70, and this deviation was still increasing, causing it to enter another slightly different operating track.
Needless to say, all these accidents were naturally caused by the uninvited guests who sneaked into "Atlantis".
Hijacking a space shuttle is difficult to directly implement force, and Long Yun, who relies on his superpowers, did not intend to do this.
When launched, the violent resonance and overload pressure kept him struggling in the equipment compartment until the main engine was turned off and the propulsion acceleration close to 3G suddenly disappeared. He suddenly appeared on the middle deck of the orbiter, and used two binding ropes to tighten the astronaut who had not left the seat.
We were dressed in a well-equipped state and passed the ascent in a nervous mood. The two young astronauts were smiling at each other a moment ago and cheered for the smooth launch. As a result, a man in a work suit holding a rope suddenly jumped out in front of him. He saw a stranger on the space shuttle. This scene was even more scary than meeting a ghost in the middle of the night. The male and female astronauts from NASA screamed in shock, but they had no time to resist, and could not resist the invisible control of superpowers.
There was a scream in his ear that changed its tone, and his movements were as fast as lightning. Long Yun was very satisfied with his physical strength and reaction speed.
He subdued the two astronauts without any effort. In fact, he knew very well why the two guys in front of him, who were dressed in bloated clothes and distorted faces did not resist. Humph, even if it were him, he would still be confused when he encountered this move, so he could not breathe!
Not to mention this, the screams in the air-filled pressurized crew cabin suddenly reached the cockpit. Just as they were freed from the overload, the two astronauts who took over the control of the space shuttle were immediately stunned. They looked at each other and stared at each other for a long time, but still couldn't understand what was happening on the middle deck, so one of them left the seat and went to the ladder to see the movement:
“—Emily?—Michael?
Hello, what's wrong with you? What happened to you below...?”
While leaning forward to check, he subconsciously called out his companion's name. Alan Shebder saw Victor Rezenov with a cunning smile on his face, but his brain didn't react at all. For a moment, he even had some illusion.
Why are the maintenance personnel here? Could it be that the launch process has not yet begun?
Or...
While thinking about it, he inexplicably reached out to take a rope from the man in work clothes. The astronaut with a blank expression was controlled by Long Yun. He muttered, "Oh, it's fine." His eyes left his mouth and were covered with tape. Emily and Michael, who were struggling with "um" turned around and waved their hands at their confusion, "It's nothing, these two people actually want to fool us. What a pair of live treasures."
“Ah, is that?
