Chapter 1341: Die before you get out of the school
"Oh God, Mars! That's Mars!" came Scott's excited screams from the radio waves that had been silent for days!
The seven-month-long closed journey has left everyone reticent, with little space in the cabin of six people, not much communication, and many times everyone is silent in their own world, not paying attention to time, deliberately forgetting it, in order to survive this long and boring journey.

But Scott's cry awakened everyone's consciousness at this moment, and everyone was shocked, like a new life, they rushed to the window, eagerly looking!
In the dark world, the orange-red point of light is coming, that is the end of this trip, the destination is Mars!
"Yay!" Elina cheered, turning her head in the cabin.
"Mars...... Here we are!" exclaimed Charlie, who was rejuvenated and energized again.
Sui Tang smiled slightly, no one saw the beauty that bloomed at the corner of her mouth at this moment.
Po Jun also looked at the tiny planet, and the long journey seemed as simple as closing her eyes and opening her eyes. Her quietness, a kind of coldness that no one approaches, has never dared to disturb her.
"Guys, I say, shouldn't you open a bottle of champagne to celebrate?" Mendez suggested.
"Good idea! Guys, please meet at the restaurant! We're going to land, and I need all of you. Scott commanded from the cockpit.
This is the first instruction issued as the captain, seven months of interstellar travel, Scott did not put any pressure on his teammates, silently took on the main job.
One by one, the team members entered the rear cabin cafeteria of the spaceship, and the last one to arrive was the broken army.
Here, there is no need to wear heavy spacesuits, nor do you need to wear helmets, pressurized and oxygenated cabins provide astronauts with the convenience of rest and diet, science and technology are developing, technology is progressing, and the hard life of astronauts in the last century has gradually gone away.
"Very good, everybody's here!" Scott sat down at a round table and smiled first, "Colonel, please give me a glass of champagne." ”
"There's something for everyone, Captain!" Mendes smiled, serving glasses and champagne.
Everyone held up the goblet, and even the taciturn broken army gave enough face, Scott looked around and smiled: "I wish us a successful landing on Mars, cheers, everyone!"
"Cheers!" was the first time that six people had gathered in the restaurant.
After a glass of champagne, everyone is much more relaxed, the orange point of light on Mars can be seen outside the window, and in a few hours, the spacecraft will enter the gravitational sphere of Mars.
"Charlie, you and Yelena check the spare pod later to make sure it's ready to go. Scott refueled himself with half a glass of champagne and began to assign tasks, "Mendez, I need you to ensure the power and energy system, Sui Tang, the task of contacting the home planet is entrusted to you, before entering the Martian atmosphere, everyone must keep an eye on their posts and keep the signal communication unimpeded." ”
"What do I do?" asked Po Jun with his arms crossed.
"Miss Ye, since you have not undergone special training and there is no task assigned to you for the time being, you can use the camera to record the landing process as a souvenir, or, in case of emergency, I will ask you for help. Scott swallowed the champagne and clapped his hands: "Guys, let's get moving! You will be the first humans to land on Mars!
"Wow!" "yes!"
All the astronauts immediately dispersed, put on their spacesuits, and rushed to the front and rear cabins to make final preparations for landing on Mars.
Pojun didn't receive the task, and sat alone in the dining room for a while, she also got dressed and walked to the cargo hold area to check whether the items there were properly placed.
The spacecraft will definitely encounter strong tremors when landing, and if the cargo is not tied tightly, it may cause unnecessary losses, and Pojun does not want to be an idler with nothing to do, so she begins to take the initiative to find work.
In the cargo hold area, half of the space is occupied by scientific research equipment and instruments, and the other half is food reserves.
Pojun carefully inspected it and found no abnormalities, and all the devices were tied with seat belts and were very strong.
She was about to return to the main cabin when Scott's frightened screams rang out from the radio headset, "No, no, no, no, God! this can't be...... It's over......"
"What's going on, Captain?"
"Scott, what's going on?"
When the team heard Scott's exclamation, they suddenly realized that the situation was not good, and rushed to the main cabin as they asked, and the noise on the channel became a mess.
Po Jun's face changed slightly, and he also put down what he was doing and ran to the cockpit.
At this moment, several team members who arrived here before her were already stunned, staring at the radar screen on the spaceship with round eyes!
It was a dense field of light, overwhelming, innumerable, like an army of locusts over a wheat field in autumn, rushing in this direction.
"Meteorite swarm! How can there be so many meteorite fragments?" Breaking Jun realized what it was, the largest and most destructive material in the universe and starry sky, meteorites!
Meteorites are the corpses of all kinds of stars after destruction, and they are also very common destroyers in the universe, they drift with the current, constantly changing their orientation and speed under various gravitational forces, and wherever they pass, no matter what they encounter, they will bravely launch a head-on impact!
Encountering such a large meteorite swarm is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the Kunpeng spacecraft!
"Turn around and avoid them!" Charlie, who came back to his senses, suddenly yelled angrily.
"Impossible, our spacecraft's power system is turning slowly, and it is impossible to avoid it completely! The distance is too close, now the speed of the spacecraft is 11 kilometers per second, the meteorite speed is faster than ours, and there are three minutes at most, and we will hit the meteorite! God, why did you run into a meteorite group at this time, why can't you wait a few more hours......
Scott muttered hurriedly, the expression under the astronaut helmet was extremely nervous, showing nervousness, this sudden death danger made him lose his square inch, and for a while all kinds of anxious thoughts filled his brain, his hands were in a hurry, and his face was full of cold sweat.
"We still have an emergency pod!" Mendez exclaimed, "We can take refuge in the emergency pod and avoid the meteorite!"
The launch direction of the emergency capsule is perpendicular to the direction of the spacecraft, so it will definitely be able to avoid the meteorite group.
"What should we do after that?" Yelena asked in a deep voice: "After dodging the meteorite, we will lose our direction, supplies, food and navigation, we will be lost in the universe, and abandoning the ship is equivalent to suicide!"
The emergency capsule can only be used temporarily to avoid emergencies, and cannot replace the spacecraft of interstellar navigation.
"Do you want to die here?" Mendez yelled, "I'd rather launch the emergency capsule than be shattered by a meteorite here!"
"You can go to the emergency cabin, no one will stop you!" Yelena's face also turned cold, she is not a master to be messed with, she is from the special forces of the Russian Air Force.
"Don't make any noise!" Sui Tang raised his arm and swept these people coldly, "Come with me if you don't want to die!"
"Where?" Charlie asked stupidly, "you're going to launch the emergency capsule?"
Sui Tang said coldly: "Go to the cargo hold!"
"Cargo hold, is there a mistake!" said Charlie, standing still, grumbling, his face dejected and dismayed.
Yelena glanced at these useless men and quickly followed Sui Tang.
Po Jun was also very curious, what can Sui Tang do to solve the crisis in front of him? The cargo hold is full of scientific research equipment, how can there be anything to stop the meteorite? She also followed.
Mendes rushed to the emergency pod, he was looking for a glimmer of hope to survive, he didn't want to die.
Charlie sat to the side, looking dazed.
Scott connected to the Earth's ground monitoring center and connected to video and voice transmissions.
He calmed down a little and reported the situation to the world: "This is Kunpeng, I'm the navigator Scott, I have good news here, a bad news, the good news is that we have arrived at a distance of 100,000 kilometers from Mars, if the situation is normal, in two hours, we will land on Mars, unfortunately, we have bad weather, and in a minute, we will collide with a meteorite group with an area of more than tens of millions of square kilometers." This is the last message of the Kunpeng, it is very regrettable that the mission of landing on Mars was not completed, may God bless you, bless the earth, and not encounter this terrible meteorite swarm......"
Because there is a delay in the transmission of data to the earth, when the Jiuquan monitoring center receives this message, it is already a few minutes later.
Scott's avatar was displayed on the big screen, and his words made all the scientists present freeze their expressions and freeze their hand movements.
Countless eyes stared at the dots of light that appeared on the ship's screen, and the entire hall seemed to be pumped into a vacuum.
60 million kilometers away in the starry sky of the universe, the Kunpeng without any weapons or defense system, encountered these dense meteorite groups like torrents, where is there a way to survive?
Mars is already close at hand, but the last 100,000 kilometers have become a barrier to prevent human beings from conquering the universe, which cannot be crossed, is this the will of God, or the inevitable fate of the entire human race?
Everyone stared at the big screen, speechless, waiting for this last moment to come, even if the nuclear weapons that destroyed the earth a hundred times, they were powerless to return to the sky.
Just when many people were crying in despair, the ground reception signal was suddenly cut off!
