From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 505 The conspiracy on the Mars spaceship

“I will never allow anyone to land on Mars first than me, Jayden Armstrong!”

Jayden Armstrong faced the three team members in front of him, stared at his huge eyes, and said these words with a strong voice.

There was another man standing next to him, a black man named James King, who also expressed support for Jayden Armstrong.

He pointed at the other three teammates in front of him and said angrily: “That’s right! Have you all forgotten what we said before we set off? We want to be the first humans on Earth to land on Mars!”

“Why are you so timid now?”

“Do you want to wait until the Chinese land on Mars before us, and then the whole world will laugh at us? Do you want to be called a coward by the people of our country?”

“Tell you, I don’t want to do it anyway!”

“And don’t forget, Mr. Secretary of State said that as long as we agree, they will immediately transfer 5 million US dollars to our account! 5 million US dollars! Think about it! Then we won’t have to worry about it for the rest of our lives. Got it!”

The words of the two people filled the spacecraft, expressing their opinions.

Facing the two of them, one of them was their captain, but the other three team members did not give in at all.

“You will never allow others to land on Mars before you. We will not allow others to decide our lives on our behalf!”

Their vice-captain, Alexander Wolf, glared at Jayden Armstrong with equal rage.

The other two team members also said angrily: “You are risking your lives for money! Do you really think going to Mars is like playing a game?”

“We are not making a movie, and none of us are botanists! Once an accident occurs, death will be the only thing waiting for us!”

“Even if NASA says it will immediately build a new rocket regardless of cost, it will still take at least half a year for them to build the rocket and then launch it.”

“And it will take at least six or seven months until the rocket reaches Mars. You two really have to wait until we arrive at Mars. You will have to face the possibility of Mars alone for more than nine months. crisis?”

Facing the rebuttals of these three people, Jayden Armstrong snorted coldly and said: “None of us are botanists, but similarly, none of us are rocket engineers or Mars experts, so none of us have the authority to say We’re going to have a crisis.”

“And NASA and our Secretary of State have assured us of absolute safety. What’s more, the Mars base included in the last cargo spacecraft launched to Mars is also very safe.”

“Even if the Martian dust storm in the movie really happens, hey, our Mars base can completely withstand it!”

“Also, you said we are not making a movie, so why do you think so many accidents like those in the movie will happen after we go to Mars? It’s just a plot!”

“And even if there is a super sandstorm that can last for three months, our life support system can maintain power for up to four months. I have no idea what you are afraid of!”

“So, you are just a bunch of pure cowards!”

“Forget Tenia, she is just a woman, but Alexander, Bischi, you two men, and you are all soldiers who have come out of our Air Force, are you all scared now?”

Jayden Armstrong laughed: “Are you two the women in the woodpecker who can do nothing but bark? Hahahaha!”

The black man next to him, James King, also laughed loudly.

When they heard their insulting words, Bischi and Tenia, the only female team member among them, became angry on the spot.

“You are being sexist!” Tenia’s face turned red and she pointed at Jayden and James angrily.

As the only woman in the field, she has become a role model for many women around the world since she was selected. She has also been training extra hard in subsequent trainings, trying her best to not perform better than Men are worse.

Because she knows very well that in aerospace, men’s bodies are more suitable than women. This is an absolutely indisputable fact from a biological perspective. The inclusion of women is just to demonstrate gender fairness in terms of political correctness.

So it is precisely because of this that she trains harder and never complains or complains about being tired, or uses her identity as a woman to ask for some special treatment, just to prevent herself from becoming the target of Mars’ plan this time. burden.

And from the beginning of training to now, she has indeed never been held back. Several of her teammates have also praised her highly in previous interviews with reporters.

But she never expected that the two teammates who once admired her would now be discriminated against because of her gender.

Of course, Bischi on the side was more direct.

He rolled up his sleeves directly. Since the other party had insulted them so much, he would just do it and be done with it.

But at this time, Alexander Wolf stretched out his hand to stop him, “Biskey, don’t be impulsive.”

But Bischi couldn’t help it and roared: “Alexander! They have gone too far!”

Alexander shook his head and said, “If you take action, it will be difficult for us to talk to NASA.”

After hearing this, and Alexander’s persuasion, he finally gave Jayden and James a cold look on the opposite side, and then gave up the impulse in his heart.

In fact, Alexander Wolf was originally the best candidate for their captain, because Alexander Wolf is a perfect man with a height of 1.88 meters, a strong body, blond hair and blue eyes, and he is also an Air Force major. They have a very good reputation in their army and are very popular with others.

It can be said that if it were not for Jayden Armstrong’s name and Alexander Wolf as their captain, their lighting team could do better.

But obviously there aren’t that many ifs.

NASA and the White House made the Jaden Armstrong their captain in front of them for the so-called political influence, which led to all this.

Originally, this guy just smuggled over from a small South American country with his mother when he was a child. Then his mother was forced to have sex by the smuggler responsible for the smuggling. There was forced slavery against them, so it met the American T After meeting the visa conditions, I finally got a green card.

Then this guy grew up and entered the Air Force through luck, and now he became their captain because of his name. In order to make him more qualified to become the captain, the military even directly awarded him a special rank of major. , like Alexander Wolf, while also becoming the tallest of them all.

So Bischi was very jealous of this guy’s luck. At this time, Jayden Armstrong wanted all of them to take this risk for his personal honor, which made Bischi completely angry.

If it weren’t for Alexander, at this moment he would just want to beat up this bastard whose mother is a sex worker in South America.

Jayden Armstrong frowned when he saw Biskey’s move to hit him just now, and then challenged: “Hey? You still want to fight? Do you still dare to fight me? Don’t forget that I am your captain. ! This is aboard the spaceship of the Mars Project. Do you want to go to a military court after returning to Earth?”

“you!”

Provoked, Bischi became furious again, but Alexander quickly stopped him again and said to Armstrong: “Jaden, although fighting is not allowed here on the spacecraft, you are not allowed to be so deliberate. provocative!”

Jayden Armstrong snorted again: “I am the captain, you should listen to me. I am not deliberately provoking, it is you who completely disobeyed the instructions!”

Alexander took a deep breath, then calmed down and said, “Okay, Jayden, stop saying these meaningless words.”

“You just want to anger us, and then report our problems to the command center and disqualify us from voting.”

“But from now on, you don’t have to think about it. We are three people and have three votes. You are two people. Although you are the captain and can get two votes, you only have three votes.”

“The Secretary of State has said that only if you have the most votes in support can you use all the fuel on the way to Mars.”

“And now, as long as we still have three votes, you can forget about it!”

After hearing Alexander’s words, the expressions of Jayden Armstrong and James King suddenly darkened.

Indeed.

They really only have three votes.

At this time, Alexander once again said to James King: “James, think about it, do you really want to risk your life for that 5 million US dollars?”

Then he patted Bischi and Tenia and said to them: “Okay, let’s use our energy to rest.”

“Also, Tenia, you are the bravest and strongest woman I have ever met. You are no weaker than some men, so don’t pay attention to their words.”

Hearing Alexander’s words, Bischi and Tenia both nodded heavily, and Tenia burst into tears and hugged Alexander to express her gratitude and touch.

Then the three of them left here and returned to their rest cabin.

However, before leaving, Tenia, who had regained her mood, turned to Jayden Armstrong and said: “If Neil Armstrong was still alive, he would definitely be ashamed because of you! You don’t deserve this last name! You’d better choose another one!”

After saying that, they left here completely.

When Jayden Armstrong, who stayed where he was, heard Tenia’s words, his face became even more angry.

But it was obviously impossible for him to do it.

“Fuck, you bitch.”

He cursed in a low voice because Tenia mentioned the pain point in his heart.

Neil Armstrong was the real first man to land on the moon.

And what he did was obviously not like the first man to land on the moon.

What made him angry the most was because of a secret in his heart.

In fact, his surname was not Armstrong. When he was a child in a small South American country, he had no surname and only had one name.

It wasn’t until later that he came over illegally and successfully obtained a T visa with the help of his mother. The visa officer at the time asked him to state his last name, but because he didn’t have one, the visa officer randomly chose one for him, and he got it. This Armstrong, Armstrong.

Just like that, he became Jayden Armstrong from then on.

It is precisely because of this that Tenia asked him to choose a new last name, which just touched on this sensitive point of his.

So, after Alexander and the others completely returned to the rest cabin, he kicked the ground violently, wanting to vent.

But the embarrassing thing is that because this is the universe, after he kicked, his body floated directly up, so he had to quickly grab the handrail next to him and let himself stand on the floor again.

Of course, for them in the universe, the floor can be used anywhere.

At this time, James King also asked Jayden Armstrong: “Jaden, what should we do now?”

Jayden Armstrong had a sullen face, and finally said: “Now, let’s contact Earth and find the Secretary of State.”

“Oh, okay!” James King nodded immediately.

Then they came to the liaison desk.

The first thing is to contact the ground command center.

However, the communication method they used was radio, not quantum communication, so there was at least a two-minute communication delay.

In fact, they have also considered purchasing a quantum communication device from China that can be installed on the Mars spacecraft.

However, they have regulations and cannot carry out any cooperation with China in aerospace, so this matter naturally passed.

In this way, two minutes later, the message he sent finally reached the earth, and about five minutes later, he finally received the message.

[I am the Secretary of State. Dear Mr. Armstrong, what can I do for you? 】

This text was sent via encrypted communication to ensure privacy.

After seeing this reply, Jayden Armstrong sent a text he had already typed before using the same encryption method.

[Dear Mr. Secretary of State, James King and I strongly agree with the plan to consume the remaining fuel to accelerate, but the problem is that Alexander Wolf, Bischi Smith, and Tenia Schmidt do not We do not agree with this plan, which makes us very embarrassed.

Can’t you think of another way? For example, grant me the right to have one vote equal to three votes, or the power to pass with one vote.

To be honest, those three guys were so cowardly that I couldn’t believe I had such teammates.

Mr. Secretary of State, I believe you don’t want the title of the first country to land on Mars to be taken away by the Chinese, right?

So please provide me with some help. 】

Then, he and James King waited.

It wasn’t until about ten minutes later that they finally received a reply.

[Mr. Armstrong, I am very grateful to you and James King for having that courage. Please let me first give you my appreciation.

In the human aerospace industry, we need the spirit of adventure that I mentioned to you, just like Columbus. His spirit of adventure brought our predecessors such a large and perfect land as the United States.

But unfortunately, I think there is nothing I can do about the requirements you mentioned. After all, I need to ensure that you have enough fair rights to choose on this issue. It is already all I can do to give you the power of two votes. Did it all.

Of course, you are on the spacecraft now, and you are the real controllers of the spacecraft.

In war, those who become heroes often need to make some decisions that violate orders, just like Forrest Gump, who disobeyed his commander’s orders and rushed into the jungle to recite One by one, his comrades made him a hero.

So, the choice is yours, Mr. Jayden Armstrong.

Remember your time, the earlier, the better.

God will bless you. 】

After reading this reply from the Secretary of State, both of them were slightly stunned.

“Jaden, what do you mean Secretary of State?”

James asked.

Jayden continued to think.

But at this time, they received another attachment transmitted back.

After opening the attachment, they were stunned.

Written in this attachment is the background code on how to obtain absolute control of the spacecraft engine system!

What is absolute control, that is, completely allowing the engine to run in the way they have set it, without being subject to other controls!

Seeing this, the two of them immediately had a plan in mind.

That is to rely on the code inside to allow them to gain absolute control of the engine system, and then let the engine start burning fuel to achieve acceleration!

Thinking of this, the two men immediately looked at each other and understood what the Secretary of State meant.

Why are they the real controllers of the spacecraft? That’s what it means!

Thinking of this, the two of them immediately looked at each other and saw each other’s excitement.

Jayden Armstrong even growled in his heart: “I am destined to be the first person to climb the fire!”

Then he took another look at the attachment and copied all the contents inside.

At this time, they also discovered that there was another sentence at the end of the attachment.

[After backing up, completely delete the source file to avoid being discovered by Alexander and others, otherwise they will be able to have the highest control. 】

Seeing this, the two of them couldn’t care less. In their eyes, the Secretary of State was a good person. In addition, they didn’t want Alexander and the others to see him, so they naturally followed suit immediately.

Later, Jayden Armstrong said to James King: “Look for an opportunity later. While the three of them are resting, we will get absolute control of the engine system and ignite the fuel!”

“At that time, even if they find out, absolute control is in our hands, and there is nothing they can do.”

“Yeah.” James King nodded immediately, but then he hesitated: “But the question is, when they report this matter to the command center, will we be punished?”

Jayden Armstrong immediately said: “At this time, don’t think so much. As the Secretary of State said, in war, sometimes heroes have to make decisions that go against orders. You want to be a hero that attracts the attention of the whole United States. ?”

Hearing this, James King’s eyes suddenly became firm: “Think!”

“That’s good!” Jayden Armstrong nodded, and then said: “So, don’t hesitate. After becoming a hero, not to mention the 5 million US dollars promised by the Secretary of State, when you go back, the money, Fame, beauty, etc., they will all be there.”

James King’s eyes suddenly seemed to light up.

“good!”

“Yes, but they may monitor us during this period. You can pretend to have a quarrel with me later, and then go back and tell them that you have figured it out and are not willing to risk your life for $5 million.”

Speaking of this, Jayden Armstrong paused, and then said: “Then you take the initiative to say that you want to monitor me and let them rest.”

“At that time, we can proceed with our plan.”

James King immediately exclaimed: “Jaden, I didn’t expect you to be able to come up with such a method!”

“Otherwise, why would I be your captain and not Alexander?” Jayden Armstrong snorted, and then said, “Okay, it’s time for us to quarrel.”

Then he pushed James King hard and cursed: “You nigger, what do I need to do that I need you to tell me?”

Before James King could react, he came to his senses after being pushed out. Then he immediately scolded him back: “You try to curse me again? You’re a racist!”

“nigger!”

…

The quarrel between the two immediately attracted the attention of the three people who returned to the rest cabin.

When the three people arrived, they saw two people fighting each other in the air.

Until the three of them separated the two people, the two also showed acting skills that even the Oscars would award a statuette, and successfully made Alexander Wolf forgive James King and accept him.

After all, Alexander Wolf was regarded as the good guy Alexander by them when he was originally trained.

In this way, when James King “left in anger”, he and Jayden Armstrong met their eyes, and both saw the smile in the other’s eyes.
