Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 65 Sudden communication failure
Just when Chief Engineer Mu was confused, he suddenly felt a touch on his shoulder. He was almost startled when he turned around and saw that it was Tan Xiansheng who was in charge of security.

"Second Lieutenant Qin, what's the matter?" he asked.

"Something's not right, Chief Engineer Mu, get back to the transport boat, quickly!" Tan Xiansheng shouted eagerly, with spittle flying onto the helmet visor.

However, all he could see was Chief Engineer Mu's mouth opening and closing.

"Grass!"

Only then did Tan Xiansheng realize that there was a problem not only with the communicators between himself and the soldiers, but also with everyone's communications.

"Damn it, you fucking turtle!"

Tan Xiansheng angrily swore another curse word, then pointed to his helmet at Chief Engineer Mu, moved his mouth, then made a retreat gesture and pointed to the transport boat.

Chief Engineer Mu understood the meaning now, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he followed Tan Xiansheng's example, speaking silently and pointing at the construction site with gestures.

Tan Xiansheng looked at what he was pointing at, and then he understood a little bit.What Chief Engineer Mu probably means is that there are still skilled workers there.

In addition to intelligent engineering robots, there are also several engineering vehicles driven by people.

"Grass!"

Tan Xiansheng cursed secretly, turned around and pulled the soldier next to him, and then used his mouth and hand gestures together to make tactical gestures.

This means that the soldiers should quickly notify other companions and organize an evacuation immediately.

"OK" the soldier made a gesture of understanding, then turned around and walked quickly towards the few people who were still confused not far away.

Although there was a sudden communication problem, some simple messages could still be conveyed using military tactical hand gestures.

After a while, Tan Xiansheng turned to Chief Engineer Mu and asked him to quickly return to the transport boat.It's just that Chief Engineer Mu is not from the military and is not familiar with military tactical gestures. It is very difficult to communicate, but he can understand it to some extent.

Communication problems immediately caused some commotion among the landing crew.

At the same time, uneasiness also spread among the crowd.

Under such circumstances, although the 28 security guards can communicate simply using tactical gestures, they are not concentrated in one place.

The communication between each other must also go in front of the target person.

Fortunately, these soldiers were of high quality. After discovering the communication problem, they immediately notified the landing personnel to evacuate according to the emergency plan.

Human beings are already frightened by aliens, not to mention that they have already discovered something unusual when they first explored this planet.In this case, it is impossible for humans to land on the planet without making any emergency plans.

Of course, in the emergency plan, humans did not take into account the sudden large-scale communication failure.

But it doesn’t matter, because the first element of the emergency plan is personnel safety. Once anything strange happens, evacuation procedures will be initiated immediately.

The 28 selected soldiers of the Security Department were already familiar with this before setting off.

Biu!Tan Xiansheng pulled out the flare gun from his waist and fired a red flare into the sky.

The emergency evacuation horn was blown.

And just when the Ross 154-4 planet was busy, the situation in the Hope Command Center was almost the same.

"What's going on? Why was the ground communication suddenly cut off?" Yue Yuan hurriedly stepped into the control center hall and roared with an almost livid face.

When he arrived, the command center was already full of people.

Yue Yuan has never shown such anger in front of everyone. As a leader, although he has been angry in the past, he has always restrained his emotions. At most, he can only give a few looks and everyone will understand.

Logically speaking, Yue Yuan shouldn't be so angry, because this time humans have really been very cautious, taking into account almost all the dangers that can be considered.

Including but not limited to early unmanned detection, geological survey, cave exploration, satellite detection, atmospheric analysis, emergency plan formulation, and even those metal mountains have been sampled and analyzed by unmanned ground detectors.

But all of them are without any problems.

The conclusion reached is that there are no unnatural phenomena or traces of human activities on the planet, including the surface, caves, and metal mountains. The soil layers have been accumulated for more than ten thousand years.

But I never expected that there would be a signal interruption just after the landing of personnel had started, and the initial base had not been built yet.

No one thought this was a normal equipment failure.

"Chief, there is no problem with our equipment. The communication equipment on the Hope is normal, but the ground station signal cannot be received. We think the ground station communication equipment is faulty!" A communications expert turned around from the operating platform and replied .

"Equipment failure?!!!" Yue Yuan's face turned livid. At this time, some people still thought it was an equipment failure. He walked up to the communications expert and gritted his teeth and said: "What kind of failure method, please tell me clearly!"

Yue Yuan suddenly calmed down a lot after he uttered a curse word.In fact, he didn't know. It's really no wonder these experts.

Even if all detection and experimental data point to normal, as long as Yue Yuan does not agree to the landing, or even directly orders the Hope to sail to Ross 154-6 or 154-7, none of this will happen.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Yuan calmed down, turned around and walked to the captain's seat to sit down, and then said again in a calm tone: "I am not a communications expert, but I believe that our human craftsmanship is not that bad. At this point, otherwise we would have died on the Millennium Voyage. The communication failure must be abnormal. You said there was a failure in the ground communication equipment. Did you find something?"

"This" the communications expert was stunned. The calmer Yue Yuan became, the more serious the matter seemed to him.But the words had been spoken, and he had to continue.

"The inspection has been completed. There is no problem with the internal communications of the Hope. All communication transmitters and radars are working normally, but we have not received any response."

"That's it?" Yue Yuan's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?
"There's more,"

The communications expert shuddered and immediately continued: "Optics, satellite optical imaging has not been affected, which means we can still see the situation on the ground."

Just seeing it is useless!
"Have all communication methods been used?" Yue Yuan asked unwillingly.

"Everything has been used. The electromagnetic wave signal is transmitted completely to nothing, and the same is true for satellite quantum secure communication. That's why we judged that it is a problem on the ground. The signal is probably blocked by something unknown." The answer this time was Zhao Youqin. , he is an expert in the fields of communications, applied optics, detectors, and monitoring.

Zhao Youqin's hands flew on the console for a moment, and Yue Yuan saw that the large screen in front of him turned into a ground map image.
