Chapter 224: Crash Landing on the Moon
The Wangshu took off and headed towards the moon. Bai Ge naturally knew about this immediately.
The spacecraft materials used a large amount of anti-gravity matter, so it is impossible for the bell to know. Even Song Lan notified the bell countless times. Bai Ge had no time to pay attention to it before, but now he is back, so he has time to ask about it.
"Oh? It's already set sail? It's really good."
Bai Ge was very happy about the Mood Ministry’s moon landing operation. This is not only the progress of China, but also the progress of all mankind.
Soon all parameters about Wangshu were shared with him.
"The maximum speed is 160 kilometers per second, and the loading of two million tons of spiritual matter, the speed is reduced to 120 kilometers per second. They are also nuclear fusion engines, and their speed is much lower than ours." Bai Ge said.
Lingling said: "This is of course. Although there have been epoch-making progress for previous chemical rockets, it is the first time to develop a nuclear fusion engine. It is already a great success to achieve this speed."
Even a major country like China with mature industrial development, its R&D capabilities are far inferior to Bai Ge.
Bai Ge is an observer and gains knowledge.
The bell is the executor and engineering.
Brainworms are designers and sources of inspiration.
The three are integrated, and technology is a leaps and bounds, and is completely incomparable to the small-step progress of countries on earth.
The only thing that can hinder Bai Ge's technology explosion is knowledge barriers and observation limits.
Once he can enter a certain level, he will soon be able to gain a firm foothold at that level and make rapid progress to achieve the best results.
This is why the first time Lingling manufactures a nuclear fusion engine, it can reach 3,000 kilometers per second, while China can only reach 160 kilometers per second.
The same technology, one will reach the peak, and the other will have to climb slowly.
The Overlord returned at one percent of the speed of light and soon approached the moon.
At the same time, the closer Wangshu is more than 200,000 kilometers away from the moon, and it has only taken a quarter of its journey.
There are twelve astronauts on the Wangshu. Two of them are agents of the Harmony Department, and the remaining ten are soldiers selected from the training system normally.
They looked excited, the system was good, and the entire navigation was extremely smooth, which made them extremely proud.
The twelve people all have their own positions. They have seat belts on them, and there is an amazing overweight effect during the acceleration process. However, a pressure regulating system is designed in the cabin, so it will not harm internal personnel.
At this moment, they are having a long live broadcast with the ground.
Everyone was smiling and experimenting with the communication effect.
Because of sufficient energy, this live broadcast can be maintained forever without worrying about wasting energy.
"The channel has been confirmed and is being adjusted. The second section is being accelerated and is expected to be logged in half an hour."
"We must be cautious. This time we have sufficient energy and can do a lot of things. A total of 42 plans are just the beginning. The time is abundant, and nuclear fusion energy is enough to make you work on the moon for 60 days. In short, the communication cannot be closed throughout the whole process."
"yes!"
As soon as the words were finished, communication was interrupted, and the energy inside the spacecraft stopped, and all instruments were forced to shut down, and then the cabin was dark.
"ah!"
“What’s the situation?”
"Calm down and check for the fault right away!"
Although the astronauts were nervous, they also started to check with a good training, but they soon found that the entire spacecraft had lost control and all emergency systems were turned off. It seemed that it was not just a failure of the power and energy system, but the entire spacecraft was broken.
"How could this happen... it broke all in one breath?"
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a feeling of overweight came, increasing layer by layer on them.
The feeling of being about to flatten them was extremely painful, and the messy tinnitus quickly appeared, causing them to think something was wrong.
"Oh no! The pressure regulating system failed!"
"Quickly fasten the helmet, the spacesuit has a small adjustment system."
Soon everyone put on their helmets, and the lights in the space suits were on, so everyone got safe.
But many people were still injured, some blood oozing out of their mouths and noses, floating in their helmets.
Although the acceleration has stopped now, everyone still dared not take off their helmets easily, so they could only make do with blowing away the floating blood.
"Tadada."
Turn on the searchlight on the spacesuit and the dark cabin will light up.
"The communication system has also failed, and we cannot inspect and repair it in the cabin..."
"It's okay, there are spare equipment in the warehouse."
The inside of the spacecraft is actually very large, equivalent to a small aircraft carrier, and the warehouse is filled with spiritual material building materials, including some available equipment.
For example, ground detection vehicles, such as portable communicators.
They found the portable communicator that they should have logged in and soon contacted the command center.
The command center is almost dying!
As soon as I finished speaking, I didn’t interrupt the communication, but it was interrupted in a flash. No matter how I deal with it, I couldn’t connect, and the spacecraft was lost directly.
The ground was already busy, and everyone's hearts were pounding.
Finally, ten minutes later, I contacted the spacecraft again, but the connecting device was expected to be carried by the astronauts personally during the month inspection.
It was something like a laptop computer, and at this time the Wangshu astronauts established contact with the command center through it.
"What's wrong? How are you doing?"
"The power system fails, the energy system fails, the control system fails, and the communication system fails. Even the adjustment system in the cabin is useless, and there is also an escape pole. We can go in, but we cannot launch, and the drop port is locked. The spacecraft is not only the main system fails, but the backup system also fails. In short, all the equipment carried on the spacecraft is useless. However, other equipment in the warehouse is fine."
After hearing this, several engineers' scalp was numb. This problem was too big. It could almost be said that the entire spacecraft was broken!
Although they don't know why, they are undoubtedly responsible.
At the same time, this matter is also very strange. What is the fault that can destroy all the spacecraft equipment in one go.
Is there a solar storm? If so, why are the equipment not loaded in the warehouse okay?
But now is not the time to think about this problem. We must immediately appease the astronauts and provide repair solutions.
"Fortunately, we expect to build a small base on the moon and prepare a large number of building materials and equipment, among which the adjustment system and communication system are ready-made, which can replace the original system of the spacecraft." An engineer said fortunately.
But soon another engineer asked, "What should I do with the operating system?"
"..." The command center fell silent. There were operating system-related equipment in the warehouse, but that was prepared for the moon base and was incompatible with the spacecraft at all. The spacecraft system was irreplaceable.
"Sorry..." The main designer was very upset. He did not prepare an operating system for spacecraft in the warehouse at all.
After all, the spacecraft already has two operating systems, and its equipment is too large, so it would take up too much space to put the third one in the warehouse.
But now it has become a fatal point. It cannot control the spacecraft. It has accelerated to more than 120 kilometers per second. It will move in a straight line at a constant speed in space until it is captured by the gravity of a certain celestial body.
But there are no other massive celestial bodies on this route except the moon.
The moon's gravity is not enough to capture such a fast spacecraft. If you want to land and land, you must slow down.
But now even the thruster is broken, and the astronauts in the cabin cannot slow down.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Wangshu will pass through the moon in half an hour and head towards the endless deep space.
Within three years, it will leave the solar system and rush towards the dark interstellar space, never returning.
Twelve astronauts will be permanently exiled and will die in this coffin costing hundreds of billions of dollars.
"how so……"
The chief engineer covered his head in pain and staggered three steps and almost fainted.
But someone soon supported him, hoping that he would cheer up.
"There is still hope that there is a lot of materials and equipment in the spacecraft warehouse, which may be able to repair the operating system."
Someone suggested this, and the chief engineer nodded and immediately summoned everyone to discuss the repair plan, thinking about how to repair the operating system under limited materials and the spacecraft could not stop.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this was impossible. Even if he returned to the factory, the unknown damage might not be repaired, and the entire spacecraft might need to be dismantled.
At this moment, they had to repair the Wangshu, which had broken systems, with limited personnel and tools inside a spacecraft that was sailing at high speed of 120 kilometers per second, which was as difficult as climbing to the sky, and it could even be said to be absolutely impossible.
But time does not wait for people. As the spacecraft gets farther and farther away from the earth, their communication will become more and more delayed.
The only good news is that the supply in the spacecraft is very generous, enough for the twelve people to survive for a year and a half.
But at the same time, this may also be cruel news. These people may endure a year of loneliness and false hope and eventually die.
The scientists and engineers from the Ministry of Harmony have not been able to come up with a repair plan for a long time, and they are wiggling their hair down one by one.
The command center was silent, and the Wangshu astronauts on the other side of the camera were also silent.
At this moment, the picture suddenly vibrated.
Everyone was immediately alarmed and said anxiously: "What happened again?"
The astronauts also said in a daze: "I don't know, it seems that something hit the spacecraft."
"Is it a small meteorite... Damn it, the spacecraft is like this and cannot avoid the impact of some small matter in the universe. In this way, it will be even more impossible to repair..." an engineer said desperately.
However, suddenly a signal was inserted into their communication network.
A picture was highlighted. It was a camera outside the cabin. A man was standing on the outer armor of the spacecraft that was driving at a super high speed. He grabbed the movable pole on the outer armor with one hand, curled several tools with his hair, and repaired the high-precision optical sensor and signal transmitter installed outside the spacecraft with one hand.
In front of the camera, the man casually stuffed some wrenches and other things on his head, and was curled up by his hair.
In the silent space, the man took out another writing board, wrote a sentence and handed it to the camera.
When the astronauts and the people in the command center saw it, they were stunned and saw that it said in Chinese: "Prepare for a forced landing, please fasten your seat belt!"
"Ah?" The astronauts were confused.
...
