When Hades arrived on Pluto, the Russian spacecraft Starry was still in space, and they were still quite far from their final destination, and at the current speed of the Star, it would take nearly 20 days or so.

"How's the case with controlled thermonuclear fusion?" Maxim "floated" from the aft cabin, his face with obvious tiredness, the Star was not as good as the Hades, in the absence of artificial gravity, the astronauts of the Star had been holding on almost by will for the year, after damaging a controllable thermonuclear fusion engine, the Star was not alone, and when it was halfway through, there was a problem with a backup device.

"It's okay." Floating to Ivan's side, Maxim sighed, he had just come over from the controllable thermonuclear fusion device that had a problem, the situation of that device was not very optimistic, although the problem was not big, but in the absence of maintenance equipment and technology, he could only try to keep the basics running.

This approach is also frustrating for Starstar, which is equipped with the most controllable thermonuclear fusion engines and backup devices of the three spacecraft, but they face the greatest difficulties due to technical deficiencies and quality problems.

If the malfunctioning mechanism is also completely damaged, then the Star will only have the last three engines and spare devices, and if there is any further problem, then Ivan, as the captain, must first consider the safety of the Star and his crew, so as to return home.

But Ivan also knew in his heart that even if he returned, no one could guarantee that the remaining engines and equipment would not continue to have problems, and if this really happened, it would be a fatal problem for the entire Star and all the astronauts of the Star Star.

It is for this reason that Ivan no longer accelerates in order to ensure the safety of the remaining engines and equipment. Rather, it maintains a state of uniform velocity in space. At the same time, he also asked Maxim to repair the device that has not completely lost its function as much as possible to ensure that it can provide the basic energy for the spacecraft.

This approach may seem extremely stupid to the Americans, knowing that the controlled thermonuclear fusion device is not an ordinary car engine, and a small problem can be fixed by manual knocking and tossing. In accordance with the Terms of Use. If a controlled thermonuclear fusion device has a problem, it must be shut down immediately to avoid accidents.

In fact, the experienced Ivan also knows this, but he doesn't have too many choices, as a heroic cosmonaut of Russia, the legendary cosmonaut who has stayed in space for the longest time in human history, in fact, in his heart is the same as the president known as the "Tsar".

When the former Soviet Union collapsed, Ivan was just an ignorant teenager. The concept of the motherland is not as strong as that of adults. However, as he grew older, especially when he became an astronaut and worked with several senior astronauts, he felt the pride, pride and grief of the once powerful motherland from them.

Because of this, Ivan is well aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and the Starsky, and he understands what their voyage means for Russia. No matter what, he had to stick to his destination and complete the task. As for the competition with the Americans, and even the Chinese. Ivan is convinced that the final victory will ultimately belong to Russia.

"Keep it running for another three days...... Not five days! Ivan said solemnly: "In five days, no matter what the situation is, this device must be turned off, Maxim, this work is left to you." ”

"Well, don't worry. I'll definitely do my best. Maxim replied helplessly, he knew Ivan's character very well, and knew that this was the biggest concession Ivan could make.

Patting Maxim on the shoulder, Ivan told him to rest first, while he himself sat in the cockpit. Gaze at the starry sky outside.

Five days passed, but during these five days Maxim was almost exhausted, and in order to make the last use of the almost bedtime mechanism, Maxim slept only 10 hours in five days, and kept it running.

When Ivan finally told Maxim to turn off the device and activate the other device while it was dormant, Maxim could no longer support it, and with Andrei's help he returned to the rest pod, fixed himself to the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Starry Sky is still the last part of the journey to Pluto, and when you look in the direction of Pluto, you can already clearly see Pluto's star and its gray-yellow light.

However, due to the fact that it was still far away, the Star Sky could not detect the specific location of the American Hades for a while, but Ivan believed that the Hades was there and had reached the orbit of Pluto one step ahead of the Star.

The final moment is coming, Pluto is just around the corner, whether it is Ivan or other astronauts, and even the first mate Yuri, who has advocated the return voyage before, they are also excited, and after a year of sailing, they have finally made history.

The Starry Sky continued to move towards its goal, turning off the overwhelmed device, and after activating the intact engines, the Starry Sky ran towards its destination in high spirits like a well-fed and well-fed man. When Starry Sky was still on its way to Pluto for the last few days, the navigator Nikolai suddenly reported that he had discovered the American spacecraft in orbit over Pluto, Hades.

As soon as Nikolai's words fell, Vasily reported to Ivan that the Star had received radio communications from the Hades.

"What did the Yankees say?" Deputy Captain Peter asked directly.

Vasily translated the message, word for word: "Russians...... Please leave...... The U.S. government announced...... The United States has sovereignty over Pluto...... To prevent unnecessary accidents...... Please leave the airspace around Pluto immediately ....... ”

He ...... How dare they?! Peter's eyes widened and he shouted with an extremely angry expression. The other astronauts of Starry Sky were also in an uproar, and the Americans actually claimed that they had sovereignty over Pluto? It's a joke! When did Pluto become Americans' territory? And also let them go, saying what to prevent unnecessary accidents from happening, is this a threat and intimidation?

"Captain!"

Vasily looked up at Ivan, who had a stern face, although he was also extremely angry at the rudeness of the Americans, but after all, Ivan was the captain of the Starstar, and on the Star, Ivan was the real decision-maker.

"Reply!" Ivan said coldly: "The universe is the universe of all mankind, and there is no concession in the dictionary of the Russians!" ”

This simple reply instantly followed the radio waves and launched towards Pluto's Hades, and then without waiting for Hades to react, Ivan gave the order to his subordinates to continue advancing, and the huge Starry Sky did not slow down in space at all, and continued to fly towards the intended target. (To be continued......)
