Volume Eight: Empty Mine

Chapter 6: Space Station 9

"It's really surprising!" It was the first time for Long Jiao to see the space station at such a close distance, like a mobile fortress. After contacting the No. [-] space station to confirm her identity, the captain parked the spaceship into the "port" of the space station. ", and then the space station has a channel to connect to the spaceship that Officer F and others are riding on.

With a "click", the hatch between the passages opened, and someone came up and took Officer F and others into the interior of the No. [-] space station. It was much bigger than they imagined, and the entire space station was more like a flying saucer. , in the middle is a circular hall, where general dining and meetings are held, surrounded by various research rooms and personnel cabins, and on the side facing Jupiter, there is a hatch that can be opened for the staff to conduct surveys on Jupiter and access to mining and recycling "steel ball" machinery.But everyone didn't notice that Wang Zhijun got off the spaceship.

"Not bad?" Officer F stood in the middle of the hall and said to Long Jiao beside him.

"I don't understand these things." Long Jiao was still angry with him and didn't answer his words.

"There are a total of nine such small space stations," the speaker was about 30 years old, her voice sounded very comfortable, she should have been specially trained, she said to Officer F and others like a tour guide, After everyone came to the round table in the center of the hall, she pressed a button on the table with her right hand, and the entire Jupiter and the nine surrounding space stations were displayed in front of everyone in the form of holographic projection, "All space stations are evenly distributed on Jupiter's In low-Earth orbit, it can also be said to be an artificial satellite of Jupiter. There are people on each space station working 24 hours a day. In order to allow the staff here to work normally, we have artificially processed the lighting of the space station. It is like the earth here. The work and rest time is enough, including the gravity of the space station is also set according to the earth, you can do everything according to your own habits on the earth here. Finally, someone will take you to your own dedicated space later. Rest cabin. Do you have any questions?"

"Don't you have a name?" Long Jiao asked in a naughty tone.

"Oh, this lady is really good at joking," the man smiled awkwardly but politely, "It's my fault, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xue Qian, and I am the stationmaster of Space Station No. [-]. What will happen in the future? You can call me for anything."

"Where's Mr. Wang? Why isn't he here?" Officer F asked, looking around, "I think you should know what we're here for, we're not here for vacation."

"Mr. Wang has other things to do. I will communicate with you later about what we need you to do for us. Please don't be too anxious." After Xue Qian explained to Police Officer F, she looked at Gao Jian, Seems to be asking if she has any questions.

"Don't look at me like that," Gao Jian shrugged, showing an innocent expression, "I have nothing to ask."

Xue Qian smiled, and continued to say to everyone: "If there are no other problems, I hope everyone will rest and adjust before proceeding to the next work. Although the environment here is in the same state as the earth, there will still be discomfort. Besides, everyone has worked hard along the way, and the most important thing is to rest well." After she finished speaking, she turned and left the round table, and the others led Officer F and others to her rest cabin.

"What a polite station master!" Officer F said to himself while lying on the bed after returning to his cabin.

"You've fallen in love with her again, haven't you?" Long Jiao actually stood at the door of Officer F's cabin at some point.

"What?" Officer F sat up from the bed all of a sudden, looked at Long Jiao in surprise, "How did you get in?"

"How did you come in? It's really strange to ask, of course it came in through the door, and there are no windows here, so can I still sneak in through the cracks in the wall?" Long Jiao replied angrily.

"Uh, didn't I lock the door?" Officer F recalled the scene after he came in, it seemed so, "But it's strange, the hatch here doesn't lock itself."

"Okay, call yourself careless if you are careless. This is not the first time for you. I am used to it." Long Jiao's words reminded Police Officer F of what happened in the sewers of Xinghua City. It was also because of his carelessness that he almost Let yourself go, "Get down to business, what do you think of this place?"

"It's pretty good." Officer F lay down again, resting his head on the quilt, and even put his feet on the edge of the bed, "It's very quiet, the bed is soft, it must be comfortable to sleep, and you don't have to think about those complicated cases. I don’t need to rush to work after I come here, so I feel pretty good.”

"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Long Jiao closed and locked the door behind her, kicked Officer F's foot off the bed and sat on the side of the bed, "That's the problem. Ah! Don’t you think something is wrong? You were urged very hard before you came, but after you arrived, you were not in a hurry. I really doubt their purpose for letting you come.”

Officer F's feet were kicked off the bed by Long Jiao, so he couldn't lie down properly, so he sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, curling his lips in dissatisfaction with Long Jiao's actions just now: "I don't think there is anything wrong with that." Okay, maybe they just want us to get used to here first, otherwise wouldn't it be more delaying if there is a sudden adverse reaction at work?"

"I really don't know how you became a policeman." Long Jiao felt that she was playing the piano against the cow. Maybe she really should listen to her brother and apply for the police academy instead of the medical school. Otherwise, she must be an excellent policeman." I won't tell you anymore, since you want to rest, you should rest well." Long Jiao closed the door heavily when she left.

"Heh, this cute temper hasn't changed at all?" Police Officer F said to himself, he stroked the hair on the back of his head, and sighed, "Your name is really Long Jiao."

"How is it? Does he have any reaction?" Wang Zhijun's voice was on the intercom, and on the other side was Xue Qian, the station master of the No. [-] space station.

"Everything is normal, and none of them have any adverse reactions. I think Police Officer F will be able to work normally tomorrow. As for entering the surface of Jupiter, I'm afraid we won't be able to determine the exact time until the test results come out tomorrow." Xue Qian said to her boss. Ten reports on work.

"Very good," Wang Zhijun said forcefully, "Space Station No. [-] is completely under your command now, just report to me if you have any problems."

"Yes." Xue Qian was a little excited when she answered. She couldn't believe that Space Station No. [-], which is usually the least valued, is enjoying the highest level of treatment at this time. Not only did she receive the most important guests, but she also never Not restricted by the first and second space stations, she became the third space station directly under the leadership of Wang Zhijun. She felt that all the blind eyes and hardships she had suffered in the past three years were no longer important at this moment.

"From today onwards, my life will change. I will make Space Station No. [-] the most important Jupiter space station!" Xue Qian said to herself on the screen after finishing the call. (over)
