Chapter 363: This Decomposition and Reconstruction is a Bit Crazy!!_2
To put it bluntly, the technology of this thing is just not mature enough.
Moreover, the space shuttle has always been able to fly only within a certain distance outside the atmosphere; it couldn't even reach the moon.
Now, hearing the system say it can be disassembled and reassembled into one, and seemingly into a super space shuttle capable of reaching Mars, how could Lin Yi not be shocked?
It's essential to know that the distance between Earth and Mars is a staggering 55 million to 400 million kilometers.
That is to say, the closest distance is about 55 million kilometers, and the farthest is over 400 million kilometers.
Since their orbital paths are different, the distance between them is always changing.
The near encounters between them occur approximately every 15 years. In 1988, the distance between Mars and Earth was about 58.8 million kilometers, and in 2018, it will be 57.6 million kilometers.
But on August 27, 2003, the distance between Mars and Earth was just about 55.76 million kilometers, the closest in 60,000 years.
From AD 1600 to 2400, during these 800 years, the close approach of Mars and Earth ranks only third.
According to calculations, on September 2, 2366, the distance between them will be about 55.71 million kilometers. And on August 28, 2287, they'll be even closer, at about 55.69 million kilometers.
Of course, Lin Yi won't be around by then; being able to live until 2100 would already be quite satisfactory.
Now he's calculating the awesomeness of this space shuttle.
Eventually, he just opened the internet to check for information.
After a round of browsing, Lin Yi excitedly slapped the fuselage beneath his butt, and couldn't help but exclaim in joy:
"Damn it, I'm definitely taking this space shuttle!!!"
Just a bit too heavy-handed in his excitement, causing the entire plane to jolt a little.
This directly startled the captain watching a movie in the cockpit.
He quickly glanced at the control panel, and after seeing nothing unusual, let out a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, he glanced at the co-pilot next to him, his eyes showing a hint of greed:
"Jamie, I found a really nice movie. Here, you check it out first."
As he said this, he handed over the phone in his hand.
Jamie reached out to take it when he saw this, but upon clearly seeing the video of two men picking up soap, his heart lurched:
'Oh God, does the captain know I like men?? What should I do now!!'
The captain, observing Jamie's nervous look, couldn't help but become excited:
"What do you think Jamie, isn't it interesting to watch?"
As he said this, the captain's hand already started moving towards Jamie's hand holding the phone…
Of course, the sound just now was also heard by everyone in the back cabin.
They could clearly feel that the sound was coming from above them.
Even the old guy heard it clearly.
This couldn't help but make the old guy frown; the sound seemed like something hitting the plane.
This was something he had never heard before.
Could it be that the plane hit a bird? But the plane has already flown to ten thousand meters high?
Not to mention, this is above the Atlantic Ocean, where theoretically, birds shouldn't appear.
Thinking of this, the old guy directly summoned his subordinate to go to the cockpit and ask about the situation.
And the ordered subordinate immediately walked over.
But when he opened the cockpit door, he was completely stunned.
And the captain and co-pilot in the cockpit were also dumbfounded.
For a moment, the three of them just stared at each other, completely stunned.
The co-pilot, who was only in his thirties, reacted first, quickly pushed away the captain, and hurriedly ran to the co-pilot seat.
The captain, though caught in an awkward moment, merely smiled sheepishly, then asked while zipping up:
"What's going on?"
Before he could finish asking, the guard had already briskly walked over, grabbed the captain's... you-know-what, playfully handling it, saying:
"Hehe, didn't expect you to be one of us. How about we three play a game of poker tonight? Oh right, boss wants to know what caused the bump just now."
This unexpected turn of events left both the captain and Jamie, who had run to the co-pilot's seat, stunned, his eyes wide as saucers.
He thought he was unique, only to find out there were so many around him who shared the same interest.
Hearing this, the captain was naturally overjoyed, repeatedly agreeing to the night plan.
As for the jolt and the noise, the captain just told the bodyguard it was because the airplane encountered a strong air current, and there was no need to worry too much.
Since the boss was still waiting for news, the bodyguard reluctantly gave a final playful tug before hurrying back.
Once he confirmed it was just a strong air current, the old man finally felt a little relieved.
Yet for some reason, his right eyelid kept twitching.
Shaking his head to dismiss it, he then told the bodyguard:
"Alright, nothing's wrong, go fetch me a bottle of red wine."
With a nod, the bodyguard immediately acted, and moments later the old man held that bottle of red wine, casually wiped off a water stain from the bottle, then uncorked it to pour himself a glass.
Time ticked by.
Seeing that in just a dozen minutes they'd reach their destination, Lin Yi finally withdrew his thoughts from the space shuttle.
He then spoke to the Mecha system:
"Now block all in and out signals of the plane. Including any communication devices."
Receiving Lin Yi's command, the Mecha system immediately started operating, activating a powerful signal jammer in an instant.
In a moment, all the signals on the entire plane were cut off.
The old man, who was reading news on his phone, suddenly saw the page start spinning in circles.
And in the cockpit, various alarm sounds had already begun to ring.
The two in the cockpit froze upon hearing the sudden alarms.
Not bothering to zip up, they rushed to their seats, moving hurriedly.
Once they realized they couldn't receive any information, they were completely dumbfounded.
"Captain! All satellite signals are gone! We've lost our navigation!"
"Quick! Contact the nearest airport control tower!!"
"There's no signal! Even the radio signal is gone!!"
Upon hearing this, the captain felt a chill in his heart, cursed out a 'fuck', and started operating swiftly on the dashboard.
The alarm sounds also began to reach the people in the cabin, and everyone grew tense in an instant.
The old man stood up and personally walked to the cockpit.
"What happened?"
Seeing the big boss come, the captain quickly replied bitterly:
"Boss, suddenly all signals disappeared. I think it must be a strong magnetic field! But you don't have to worry; I've switched to manual control. With my experience, we can definitely fly through this magnetic field area."
Hearing the captain's words, the old man felt a bit reassured.
Yet when he nodded, his gaze suddenly swept over the captain's exposed... you-know-what, making him frown in disgust.
Although this guy was flying the plane now, he couldn't do much about it, but once they landed, he'd definitely get this perverted guy fired!
But this guy's flying skills were quite impressive, so if he said it's under control, it probably was.
Even though strong magnetic fields were troublesome, they weren't unsolvable.
However, just as he was grimacing and about to leave, he suddenly heard the captain and co-pilot scream aloud!!!
He looked over at the sound and was scared out of his wits as well!!!
