Chapter 412 Persecution
It's seamless and there's something to be said for slipping through the net!
NCAA Director Jim was lying on the big leather sofa in his office, smoking a cigar and staring at the several women with impressive figures on the TV talent show.
"You are so talented. What did you eat when you grew up?" A trace of transparent viscous liquid unconsciously flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Especially No. 12, these long legs, tsk tsk..."
The next second, his eyes blurred. The long legs on the TV disappeared, replaced by a picture of flashing black and white spots and a burst of noise.
Did he enter the commercial? Jim was a little confused.
The noisy voices gradually became clearer:
"Luke...."
"Command center, command center, this is..."
"Oh my God!"
"Captain, there's an answer!"
"It's a woman's voice!"
...
"Mars is malfunctioning?"
"Yes, but we have already notified the NCAA's ground command center."
"They have launched a backup spacecraft and are ready to take us home."
.......
"There will be no rescue."
"In fact, the NCAA has not released any information about the Mars malfunction."
...
"I have said before that the NCAA has not launched any rescue plan, otherwise it would not have blocked our signal."
"Captain, I still have two wives and five children. I don't want to die in space."
"Damn Jim, when I return to Earth, I must expose his conspiracy."
.....
"This is..." Jim threw away the burning cigar in his hand and jumped up from the leather sofa.
"This is Mars!!"
He clearly distinguished the voices in the recording, which were the crew of the Mars.
"Damn it!"
"How did they get in touch with Earth?"
"Who is that woman?"
Then he shook his head, because the few lines of big words that appeared on the TV had clearly answered all his questions.
Call recipients: Mars captain’s wife, Mars captain, Mars crew.
Content of the call: The NCAA deliberately concealed information about the Mars malfunction!
All is lost!
Jim collapsed on the leather sofa. He regretted it so much! It was he who snatched the Mars from the rocket maniac's hands with his own hands, and ended up grabbing a hot potato.
When a rocket-type spacecraft explores space, the greatest danger often occurs at the moment it is launched from the ground. If the spacecraft successfully lifts off, it means that the entire exploration plan has been more than half successful.
When the Mars, carrying ten astronauts, flew out of the atmosphere and embarked on a journey to Mars, it attracted the attention of people all over the world. This was the most glorious moment in the history of M country's spaceflight. When the rocket maniac was about to accept the challenge in front of the spotlight,
When the praise was overwhelming, the NCAA under Jim's control suddenly issued an announcement claiming that the ownership of Mars belonged to the NCAA. The plan to land on Mars was completely planned by the NCAA. In the early stage, it only used Rocket Maniac's launch base to launch the spacecraft.
The NCAA then took out a stack of contracts, confirming that the Mars was completely owned by the NCAA, and now the NCAA decided to take over the Mars again. In this way, the "former owner" of the Rocket Maniac was kicked aside.
At this time, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a young man looked panicked: "Boss!"
"Something bad has happened. CBB TV station was maliciously hacked, and information about the Mars failure was broadcast!"
"Now major TV stations and newspapers around the world are asking to interview you!"
Adding insult to injury?
Jim didn't respond or stand up. He was waiting for a call.
A phone call that truly decided his fate.
"Ding ding... ding ding..." Sure enough, as he expected, the red phone on the desk vibrated and sounded a crisp ringtone.
"Hello, I'm Jim, the NCAA director." Jim jumped up from the sofa and took off the red phone.
"yes...!"
"Yes, I will definitely handle it as you wish!"
"thank you!"
Putting down the phone, Jim took a long breath, and the uneasiness on his face disappeared.
He relit a cigar, took a deep breath, and exhaled thick smoke.
Then he turned around and said to the sweating assistant: "Go and draft a press release."
"The general content is as follows: NCAA has long been informed of the fact that Mars has malfunctioned, and the rescue operation is proceeding in an orderly manner. Director Jim even fell into a coma due to continuous work. In order to avoid causing public emotional confusion, Deputy Director Paladin personally
An order was issued to block the Mars signal."
"As punishment, Paladin has submitted a letter of resignation to the NCAA. At the same time, we will announce the current status of Mars and solicit rescue plans from the world."
"Here, on behalf of all the staff at the NCAA, I would like to express my most sincere condolences to the Mars crew and their families. We will always be with you, hand in hand and heart to heart!"
Jim also had to admire his own wisdom. Everything was caused by the unlucky Deputy Director Paladin and had nothing to do with him.
"Then...has Deputy Director Paladin really submitted his resignation letter?" The assistant looked confused. Director Jim obviously wanted to find a scapegoat, but was this sheep really so obedient?
A mysterious smile appeared on Jim's face: "If he doesn't resign, he will have to explain to the public where the mansion worth 30 million U.S. dollars and the luxury yacht worth 18 million U.S. dollars came from."
"With his annual salary, he won't be able to save that much money in 100 years!"
The assistant immediately understood: "I will write a press release and send it to all major news media."
Huaguo Mozi Science and Technology Experiment
Li Mo, who has been paying attention to the Mars incident, was naturally the first to see the NCAA's "sincere" press release.
"What an old fox!" He sighed and handed the press release to Fang Lanshan, who was sitting opposite.
After reading the manuscript, Fang Lanshan looked angry: "It's simply confusing right and wrong."
"Jim put all the responsibility on Deputy Director Paladin, so that he could escape unscathed."
It seems that this former NCAA rocket designer has a lot of resentment towards the director. It seems that Fang Lanshan was originally suspected of being a spy because of the NCAA's "confusion of right and wrong."
Li Mo shook his head: "It's not Jim's responsibility to focus now."
"But how to rescue the ten crew members on Mars 16 million kilometers away."
He also had to admire Jim's skill. While rejecting all culpability, he released a collection plan to the world, which could express the NCAA's determination to rescue the people of Country M. But determination is just determination. Jim should be very
Clearly, with the NCAA's existing rockets, the chance of a successful rescue is 0.
After thinking for a moment, Li Mo asked: "How far is the Navigator from Mars now?"
"About 30 million kilometers, because when approaching Mars, the spacecraft decelerated in advance."
"Now in order to return to rescue Mars, the Navigator has to accelerate again." Fang Lanshan, as the commander-in-chief of the Navigator launch operation, naturally knows the location and status of the spacecraft well.
Li Mo nodded slightly: "In this way, you leak some current information about the Navigator to the outside world. Among this information, focus on the latest space rescue equipment loaded on the Navigator."
The Navigator has always regarded Mozi's technology as an absolute secret. Although it has carried out several space journeys, the outside world knows very little about it.
I believe that this information will be published in newspapers as front-page headlines by those reporters, and will quickly spread to the entire human civilization.
Fang Lanshan's eyes lit up: "Are you trying to force the NCAA to ask for help from us?"
Li Mo nodded, "Of course, a professional politician like Jim and the capital behind him will not care about the lives of ten people on Earth."
