Chapter 937： blast challenger

When putting on a space suit, the astronauts look like sci-fi, but the people who actually wear it know how troublesome it is. It takes nearly an hour to put on and take off once, and, after putting it on, it takes more than an hour to breathe. Oxygen and nitrogen removal, the steps are extremely cumbersome.

So, Nelson is now in the airlock, which is pure oxygen, and he doesn't need to toss any more, and he, as long as he takes a break and eats some space food at the same time, needs to go out again for a dangerous spacewalk.

In this regard, Nelson is full of hope. Before he became an astronaut, he was an electrical engineer. His favorite thing was to disassemble various things. Now, the space laser cannon launched by the Soviets will be disassembled by him. Will be a very nice experience!

Eating space food, without the scent of any food, is just enough to satisfy people's calories and replenish the physical strength just consumed, Nelson is waiting for the next spacewalk.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the airlock to become a vacuum again. Nelson looked at his companions. This dangerous spacewalk will be carried out by him and Hofstein together.

After all, dismantling a spacecraft in half is more than just removing a few screws. It may be a complex project, and two people must work together.

At the same time, scientists from the Kennedy Space Center will also provide guidance. At this time, it happens to be the position where the sun shines, which can be easily illuminated by the camera. Moreover, it is about to reach the sky over the United States, and the signal can be directly transmitted without satellite transmission. send back.

The Kennedy Space Center was also tense at this time. On the big screen, two of its astronauts left their own space shuttle and were flying towards the all-black Polaris more than ten meters away.

The Polaris, which was still flying smoothly at this time, was quite shocked when such a huge man-made object appeared in front of American aerospace experts.

The Soviets can launch a 100-ton aircraft into the sky. In the field of aerospace, the Soviets are absolutely ahead. Moreover, this thing is still a space laser weapon!

Although at the peak of the moon landing, the United States launched a dozen Saturn Vs in one go. In terms of carrying capacity, the Saturn V can also launch hundreds of tons of satellites into the sky. However, the cost of the Saturn V is too high. NASA It is simply unbearable, especially now that the US Congress has given so little funding to NASA that it is absolutely impossible to launch the Saturn V again.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, has caught up. The Soviet Union's energy rocket is modular and can launch a lot of things, even the space shuttle!

"If you want to withstand the overload during launch, the front and rear sections of the spacecraft should be quite reliable, but there should be no beams." A rocket expert said: "First remove all the screws on the outside, and then Let's see how to dismantle it next."

It's a pity, it would be even better if we could get this thing back as a whole, but unfortunately, our own space shuttle is not as big as this thing!

"Understood." Through the distant space, the voice that came over was a little nihilistic: "We are now removing the screws, thank God, the Soviets finally know the standardization."

standardization! At the beginning, the industrial products produced by the Soviets were all kinds. For example, the nuts of the tires on the same car may be different, and it was very difficult to remove them. Fortunately, the Soviets have finally standardized.

Of course, this is a joke, many people in the space center smiled.

With a million-dollar power tool for space use, Nelson is removing screws. The screw standards of the Soviet Union and the United States are actually the same, so those screws can be removed effortlessly!

At the same time, Hoftan is doing the same job on the other side. In the open space, there is no way to transmit sound. The hum of the power tool can only drive the entire spacecraft to vibrate, as if telling all kinds of reluctance. .

Time is passing little by little.

"Okay, the last screw is removed," Hofstein said, putting his power tool aside.

Well, just put it aside.

In space, they are all in a state of weightlessness. The used tools cannot be placed in the toolbox, but can be placed directly by the side. The tools are suspended, waiting to be used again at any time.

"Let's try it together, maybe we'll just divide it into two parts," Nelson said.

In space, everyone is a strong man, and dozens of tons of cargo can be moved casually.

"Oh, no!" Just when the two of Nelson and Hofstein helped the Polaroid, trying to push the two ends of the Polaris to see if they could separate, a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives suddenly came to an end. Appeared!

They saw the dazzling beams of light that flashed past on their respective helmets. In the dark space, the beams reflected from the glass of the helmets were so dazzling.

what is that?

"Laser, laser weapon!"

The two turned their heads and looked behind, only to see that the space shuttle they were riding in was hit by that extremely bright beam! At this moment, the space shuttle suddenly exploded violently!

Yes, it is an explosion. Although the main fuel tank has been abandoned after entering orbit, the space shuttle still has a lot of fuel. When waiting for the return flight, and when changing orbits in space, the beam is almost from its own side. The head of the space shuttle goes straight to the tail! The engine at the rear exploded at this time!

At this moment, the two had no other choice, and their survival instinct made them hug the Polaris tightly. Hiding on the side of the Polaris.

They heard the sound of ping ping pong pong, hitting the polar ship. The polar ship, which was nearly 100 tons, was also tilted by a huge airflow and changed its original direction!

This is simply too scary! The two were in space, hugging the black aircraft tightly, falling into a deeper universe.

Their spacesuits can only hold up to seven hours of supplies, and after seven hours, due to lack of oxygen, because the battery runs out of power, the two will be trapped in an icy universe, never to return. Earth!

At this time, they envied their companions on the Challenger. At least, they didn't have to be afraid. At the moment when the space shuttle exploded, they lost pressure because of the pressurized cabin, and the blood in their bodies would disappear in a few seconds. Boiling, they'll go fast and feel no pain.

And the two of them will slowly die in the dark universe, in great fear!

The cold, dark space, no longer peaceful, has entered the war!
