Chapter 291 Window Period
After passing through a long dark tunnel, the carriage stopped at the end of the track.
Song Qian and Li Haoyang jumped down first.
Then came Mo Jingsheng, and finally Jiang Yan.
"Song Qian, is this the underground space base?" Jiang Yan asked in a low voice.
"Yes. To be precise, it's the National Manned Space Research Center."
"Leader!" A team of soldiers below saw Mo Jingsheng and stood up to salute.
Not far away, as usual, there was a dark red metal wall with a honeycomb-shaped door hidden inside.
No signs were seen.
There were armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.
It was a bit similar to the scene she saw when she first arrived at the Yaoben base.
But it was stricter than that.
Although Mo Jingsheng personally led her, the routine inspections that should be done on a daily basis were not missed at all.
"Excuse me, ma'am, may I ask if you have any flammable or explosive items, controlled knives, or corrosive liquids on you?" One of the heroic female soldiers stepped forward with a metal detector in her hand.
"No."
The other party scanned her from head to toe, not even sparing her Martin boots, and his eyes paused on the black backpack behind her.
"Then is your bag convenient to open and check?"
Jiang Yan looked at Mo Jingsheng, who nodded slightly.
"Sure."
Jiang Yan took off the bag and unzipped it openly.
Mo Jingsheng glanced at it casually, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
The bag of amoxicillin she had put back earlier had long disappeared at this moment.
It can be seen that the other party's style of doing things is very cautious.
Song Qian, who was next to her, was afraid that Jiang Yan would have some thoughts when being checked alone, so he said something:
"Every item here, every scientific researcher, including space pilots, engineers, payload experts, etc., were protected before the end of the world with great efforts and costs. So they are also more cautious."
Jiang Yan nodded, "Well, it's really not easy."
After the inspection, the group entered the space base under the leadership of another soldier.
Compared with the dim light and stone cliffs outside, this place is clean and tidy with bright lights.
It even gave Jiang Yan the illusion of returning to the pre-apocalyptic world.
After changing clothes and disinfecting their bodies as usual, the group continued to walk inside.
Jiang Yan didn't know much about it. Just to meet a doctor of aerospace, Mo Jingsheng had to escort her in person.
But she didn't ask.
The group stopped at the door of an office.
Li Haoyang stepped forward and knocked on the door gently, "Dr. Song."
"Wait a moment." A young man's voice came from inside the room.
Jiang Yan had seen an interview with Dr. Song Haitao on TV before, when he had just returned from space.
However, it was a long time ago, and it was just a casual glance at the time, so she only had a rough impression, not a deep one.
The four of them stood at the door for a while.
Jiang Yan glanced at Mo Jingsheng out of the corner of her eye.
The latter looked calm, without any anxiety or impatience.
After about half a minute, the office door creaked open.
The person who came to open the door was a young man in a light blue work vest.
He had single eyelids, small eyes, and a little red eyes. He had two dark blue bags under his eyes and a scruffy beard, and it looked like he hadn't rested for a few days.
Jiang Yan glanced at the other person's work card. [Laboratory Assistant: Sun Ziqing]
When the other person saw who was coming, his pupils shrank and he stammered politely, "Hello, Chief Mo!"
Then he said, "Chief Mo, Dr. Song and others are calculating the latest window period. Please wait for a moment."
Mo Jingsheng nodded slightly, indicating that they should continue to work.
The group sat down on a few simple stools nearby.
Not far away, inside a glass wall, there was a row of data display screens that Jiang Yan had only seen on TV before, mostly pictures of cosmic celestial bodies.
A bunch of people were busy and nervous.
Jiang Yan reached out and gently tapped Li Haoyang next to her, whispering, "What is the window period?"
He gave her popular science knowledge about space along the way.
She guessed that he knew more about this than Song Qian.
Li Haoyang put his hand over his mouth and whispered, "From our planet to Mars, launching a space capsule or a probe is the most economical time period. Now the satellite and some electronic equipment have failed, so this calculation will be a bit complicated."
"Generally speaking, 26 months is a cycle. The last window period seems to be these few days." The other party added.
Jiang Yan frowned and said "Oh".
According to what Mo Jingsheng said to him before, five months later, the extreme cold weather will pass and the ice and snow will begin to melt.
After 26 months, you can go to Mars.
That means that there are only 21 months left to "search for treasures."
But going to Mars is just the last helpless move.
Because that means that the natural disaster simulation laboratory that destroyed the space station has failed.
With this calculation, the time will be even tighter.
This does not include the time to set off to another place and then return here.
There is a small amount of scientific basis for the content, but most of it is pure fantasy, so don't delve into it (ω)
