Chapter 1289： escape pod

Escape pod, escape pod! This is a fifty-meter-long cabin with an independent engine. Now, when everyone enters here, the emergency escape procedure begins!

The explosion bolt exploded, separated from the core compartment, and the rescue capsule left the exploding Spirit and flew in the direction of Bixing b alone!

From here, you can see that the Spirit is exploding one after another, and everyone is in a heavy heart.

Originally, Spirit had enough fuel. If they could live for a long time, it might be possible to return to Earth, or their bodies would be brought back to Earth, somewhere outside Spirit, where they were placed. With some space, it can be used as a coffin in space. Anyone who dies, just hangs outside.

But now, Spirit is gone!

Although this escape pod also has power, at most, this power can allow them to land safely from a certain planet, and they can't even take off again! In this life, they will never be able to return to the earth, and their corpses will also stay here!

"Everyone, now, we haven't reached the worst case yet, at least, we still have a nice looking planet to go to." Bella said to the people around her: "Originally, we were just here to detect Proxima b, but Now, we have to make Proxima b our home."

than sporadic b! It seems to be able to meet the needs of the lowest life! No matter where you are, you can only have hope if you live first!

"Perhaps, the earth will soon send a new spaceship to rescue us." Chris also said on the side: "When the second spaceship is built, they will definitely come to us! We just need to first settle down!"

Chris's words make more people nod. As astronauts, they are actually prepared to sacrifice for this mission. They are conscious, but they will never give up casually!

"Now, what we have to do is to land on Proxima b. We must adjust the orientation. Only when we land on the equator, the temperature there will be high enough. And, hopefully, there is oxygen there."

Proxima b is close enough to Proxima Centauri, but Proxima Centauri is already at the end of its star stage, with little energy, and only on the equator of Proxima Centauri is the temperature high enough to allow liquid water to appear.

At the same time, the resources carried in this rescue capsule are still limited. If you want to survive on Proxima b, you must have enough resources, such as oxygen, food and water. Only these can make People survive!

And now, no one knows what's on Proxima b.

If the above living conditions are not enough, it will be the most terrifying situation! Although these astronauts seem to be sounding on the surface, when the real test of life and death comes, some people will not be able to withstand the test, and some people will even try to kill everyone else and keep all the supplies. Leave him alone to last until the next ship!

If it really comes to that time, the rank of the marshal can't make the opponent jealous, only violence!

Moreover, in Bella's heart, there is still a big question, why did the Spirit ship malfunction? Now, the Soviet spacecraft has been designed to be quite advanced, and the redundancy is very high. It is impossible for such a serious accident to happen!

It's just that, now, she is only suspicious. Now, she can't speak her suspicions, but needs to investigate slowly!

Proxima b is bigger than the earth, and its surface also has an atmosphere. If it was in the past, entering the atmosphere was a serious test, but now, with the maturity of nuclear power technology, re-entry to the atmosphere has slowed down. Not too difficult.

"Yorio, be ready to take manual control at any time." Bella gave the order. The failure of the Spirit just now made them feel lingering fears. If there is also a problem with the escape pod, they must switch to manual control at any time and be ready at any time!

"clear."

"Now, start slowing down!"

slow down! The escape capsule adjusted its attitude, the tail nozzle was forward, the small nuclear fusion engine was successfully started, jetted forward, the speed dropped, and it was successfully captured by the gravity of Proxima b!

"Continue to slow down and descend."

At this point, the escape pod has already flown around Proxima Centauri, and you can see that most of the planet has a white surface, and those should be ice. This is a frozen planet, and only the one in the center Near the equator, some liquid water can be seen!

If there is no land, it is also a big problem. Although the escape pod can float, there is no land, which means that there is no reliable food source!

There is no other choice, the food in the escape pod is only enough for half a year, they can't fly to other planets, they can only be here!

Keep slowing down! As the speed continued to decrease, the escape capsule kept approaching the surface of the planet, and finally, in a beautiful posture, entered the atmosphere of the planet!

The appearance began to rub against the atmosphere, and even the heat wave outside the glass could be seen, and the temperature of the escape cabin also increased slightly.

"Slow down, keep slowing down!" Bella continued to give orders.

The escape capsule entered the atmosphere steadily, and continued to decelerate, the speed getting smaller and smaller.

"Adjust your attitude and prepare to land."

Until now, instead of switching to manual control, the computer was precisely controlling the trajectory of the descent, and at the same time, everyone felt their bodies getting heavier.

Whether it is the moon or the Spirit in outer space, the artificial gravity is about one-sixth that of the earth, and now, the gravity of this planet should be greater than that of the earth.

In a short time will be a little uncomfortable, but after a period of time, you will slowly get used to it.

Now, the most important thing is to find a suitable landing spot!

"It's all water, and it's all water below!" At this time, the speed had slowed down. Sitting on the seat and looking out, Yorio was inexplicably nervous, did he really want to land on the water?

"There, there seems to be a piece of land ahead!" Suddenly, Bella saw the front and said loudly.

Ahead, there is land!

If you have water and land, you can survive!

"Slow down, get ready to put down the outriggers." This escape capsule, like the previous lunar module, has outriggers underneath to avoid damage to the escape capsule itself.

Like a big-footed centipede, the escape pod landed smoothly! After the catastrophe, everyone was filled with some kind of happiness. Compared with the two colleagues who had died, they were lucky.

"Look, what is that?" Just then, an astronaut discovered something.
