“Flight N-177… this is the route dispatch center, your direction has deviated from the preset route, please correct the route immediately…”

“Flight N-177… can you hear me? ”

There was no response on the communication channel.

Blood is everywhere in the cockpit of flight N-177.

The voices in that channel, like ghost whispers, roam in unanswered solitude.

Jean Russus, who kicked the body next to him and wore a mechanical exoskeleton, removed the headset from the captain's ear, which had been blown off, and lit it twice with the index finger of his right hand.

As a string of current murmurs passed, hijacking him on the communication channel, he said not slowly.

“Flight N-177 has been hijacked by us. ”

“… within 100 kilometres, if we pass through radar or visual observation, we find any spacecraft approaching us. ”

The cold corner of his mouth pulled a brutal smile and stared at the blood on the cockpit glass, the man continued.

“Every minute, we clean up a 'cabin’. ”

“Above.”

After that, he shut down the comms channel and threw his headphones next to the body.

Two other armed men, standing in front of the cockpit, removed the body lying in front of the cockpit and took over the flight instead sitting in the cockpit.

“The telecommunications module has been removed. ”

“The engine re-ignited… the power went up to 95%. ”

“The course has been adjusted and contact with the target is expected in 11 hours. ”

Jean-Roussas' pupils were littered with a faint fanaticism when he heard reports coming from the channel.

“Very good…”

“Everything goes as planned. ”

It won't take long...

The whole of Pan-Asia will be under their horror!

It's revenge, it's punishment!

Without hesitation, the armed men sitting in the driver's seat responded neatly.

“Yes!”

The Pan-Asian First Fleet Radar Surveillance Array had detected an anomaly just as the Route Control Centre had received warnings from hijackers and was rushing to report the alarm.

One flight was off track.

And more than that, the flight from Mars to the penitentiary system to this position should have shut down the main engine and slowed down into the Earth Moon system.

However, the flight did not slow down, nor did it steer significantly, even the other way around, bringing speed to the limit and continuing along the straight line!

It's like I'm going to throw myself...

Pan-Asian First Fleet Command.

Standing in the command room, the look on the face of the Pan-Asian First Fleet Commander was heavy.

Just two minutes ago, they received an alert from the Route Control Center that flight N-177 had been hijacked by unidentified armed men.

And about a minute ago, they confirmed that the flight, the N-177, was the unusual civilian transport ship they were monitoring.

“How's it going now? ”

When asked by the commander, the staff sitting in front of the console immediately replied.

“The course of the ship has not changed or even accelerated! ”

Upon hearing this, the staff member standing next to him frowned and spoke after a moment of reflection.

“They may intend to cross the Earth Moon system in a straight line. ”

“Directly through the Earth Moon system?” Looking at the chief of staff, he said with an incredible look on the face of the adviser standing next to him, "but how are they going to stop like this? If we continue to accelerate, the fuel that remains is simply not enough for them to slow down. Missing the deceleration window, they will become asteroids drifting within the solar system... and doing so would be suicide! ”

Aeronautics and space are different.

Aircraft fuel on Earth is not enough and can be forced to land, and spacecraft fuel flying in space is not enough, let alone forced to land somewhere. The end result can only be space garbage, and we can do what we want in an almost eternal drift.

Looking at the predicted course outlined on the hologram, the commander frowned and a bad feeling kept waving in his mind.

Generally, pirates travelling in the vicinity of asteroid belts, although occasionally accompanied by kidnappers in addition to looting mining stations, often target less mobile mining vessels and space workstations with low defence coefficients.

In recent years, however, with the proliferation of mining drones, fewer mining vessels have to be operated manually and kidnapping cases have almost disappeared.

There is no such thing as a major surprise robbery, not to mention the history of Pan-Asian cooperation, but a search from the history of world space, targeting 12 pairs of engines of civilian transport vessels, and kidnapping more than 200 people at a time!

You know, such a large horizontal thrust cap and acceleration time, even for military spacecraft in general, doesn't necessarily keep up with a dozen hours of "running.”

Unless they had just left the Mars orbital space station on flight N-177, they were already preparing for the robbery.

“I propose to launch infrasound missiles to suppress incoming passengers on flights and then take over the flights by means of remote control to guide them to the nearest space station. ”

Upon hearing the advice from the consultant, the Chief of Staff immediately rejected it.

“No! Infrasound weapons pose a threat to the lives of hostages and may stimulate hijackers. And if you don't have a lot of power, it's hard to achieve full coverage exoskeleton armor, more likely to hurt the driver and prevent the ship from sailing back! ”

The consultant continued to ask without hesitation.

“What about sending a Ghost Squad to land? ”

This time, the Army adviser standing next to him shook his head.

“Even the Ghost Squad could not solve all hijackers in the cabin in an instant. And any mistake could lead to a threat to the lives of hostages. ”

And how to get a Ghost Squad onto a controlled flight is a big problem that is hard to solve.

Concealment is good, but the twelve pair of engined spacecraft have been running for two days.

You know, pursuit in space is not just a chase of distance, it's a race for speed!

If the two key parameters of speed size and direction cannot be synchronized approximately to the target, the two spacecraft, even if encountered in space, are merely rubbing their shoulders, either colliding with a piece of scrap iron or without any story.

After listening to a circle of warfare proposals from his subordinates, the commander standing in front of the console pondered for a while and ordered.

“Launch of the A.I. battlefield analysis system to simulate operational results. ”

The staff sitting in front of the console immediately responded.

“Yes!”

A.I. The battlefield analysis system was launched soon, with real-time calculations of quantum computers showing a success rate of less than 3 per cent for Plan A and even less than 1 per cent for Plan B.

According to the channel calculations, in up to 11 hours, Flight N-177 arrives at the Earth Moon system and passes directly from the Earth Moon system at an accelerated to unimaginable speed and enters the 124-year circular solar elliptical orbit, completely out of control.

There are no dormant cabins available on the flight, and the supplies you carry won't last a week.

Once the deceleration window period is missed, it is dead and there is no second possibility.

Just as the crowd in the command room was discussing the response, the footsteps coming from outside the command room came in at the end of a month when a man in his 50s, dressed in formal clothes and combed his big back.

When this man walked into the command room, everyone's face had a hard look on it.

His name is Wu Zongshu and he is a member of the Central Assembly for Pan-Asian Cooperation.

Now that he's all here, I think the news of the hijacking of the flight is probably out of control.

“Commander, I need an explanation. ”

Looking at the man walking into the command room, the commander had a slight headache on his face, but soon he hid it behind his grim face and said in a concise tone.

“Flight N-177 was hijacked by unidentified armed elements, and we are trying to identify armed elements and rescue referral passengers -”

“I'm not here to hear you repeat those stories! The whole network is talking about this right now. Don't treat me like an idiot!” Interrupting the Commander's words, Congressman Wu Zongwen said in a harsh voice, "I hope you will truly realize the seriousness of the problem and resolve it properly. ”

The commander said with a stiff face.

“We're working on it! ”

Wu Zongwen: “What's the plan? ”

“We are trying to communicate with the pickups on flight N-177 via the nearest space station, whatever their claims, and we will try to persuade them to slow down and communicate with our negotiators. ”

“Very well,” Wu Zongwen's expression moderated slightly, continuing, "if you can negotiate, try not to do anything to stimulate them. Whatever they want, we'll stabilize them first. ”

The commander nodded and was just about to respond.

At this point, however, the military adviser standing beside the command room, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

“Maybe they don't want anything. ”

The moment I heard this, everyone in the command room stood still.

The commander squinted his eyes at the man who spoke.

Yang Wu, former General Staff of PLA, from 2050, now serves as Pan-Asian First Fleet Military Adviser.

The reason for travelling to the future was the desire of the then authorities to guarantee the military's combat strength in the future by sending officers in peacetime to an era of hidden danger of war in the future.

Because according to the international situation at the time, it was judged by the Chinese side that if the human alliance were dissolved, they would most likely have had a war in 50 years.

But then, as everyone knows, the full-scale war foreseen did not break out, and even continues to this day.

Yeung Wu, who was awakened, was also cancelled because of plans to reinforce the future. Together, he cancelled his original working arrangements and was replaced by Pan-Asian First Fleet as an adviser.

Like other dormants who have been sent to this era because of historical legacies, although he has been assigned specific tasks, he does not have much say in this position. Neither is he capable of commanding the armies of this era, nor is it possible for the people of this era to believe in an antique from the past.

In essence, he and Director Li are no different and are all maintained as mascots by the Pan-Asian cooperation authorities.

“Don't want anything?” Army advisors frowned and said unbelievably, "How is that possible, don't ransom the kidnappers, it's the first time I've heard of them. ”

“Not all ransom needs to be demanded from each other," Yang Wu continued, “it could be a suicide. Attack.”

Nobody believed it.

“It's impossible!” Army advisers on the sidelines categorically vetoed, "Where is the gain from doing so? In addition to spreading panic--”

“It is to spread panic,” Yang Wu continued in a calm tone, "to achieve their unspeakable purpose by spreading panic. I'm even sure what they're plotting isn't cheap. ”

The commander was silent for a while before giving the order.

“Launch the AI Battlefield Analysis System to evaluate the possibilities described by Consultant Yang. ”

“Yes!”

The results of the evaluation came out quickly with the start of the Looking Computer.

According to the AI Battlefield Analysis System, less than 5% of the probability assessments were obtained.

Looking at this 5% figure, Yang Wu shook his head, saying.

“You believe too much in AI analysis, like a medieval witch in a superstitious crystal ball. ”

Wrote this advisor named Yang Wu at a glance, standing next to him, Congressman Wu Zongwen ironically said with a faint voice.

“It may have happened in the barbaric early 21st century, but it is better to change your mind early in the 22nd century. ”

Wu Zongwen stopped caring about the little advisor and looked at the commander standing next to him, saying in a warning tone.

“I warn you, this has to be handled anyway, especially with no hostage casualties! ”

“Parliamentary elections are at a critical stage, and once this matter is handled poorly, people will question the ability of Chairman Lee Guangya and his leadership faction, and once we fail to prevail in the Central Council, the Iowa Far Planet Development Program will be completely blocked! ”

“Safeguard the lives of all hostages at all costs! ”

“You know what I mean? ”

Faced with that aggressive tone, the Commander finally nodded after a long period of silence.

“Understood.”
