Chapter 150: Poor Russians (Third Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass!)

The long space flight is boring, and although the vast ocean of stars is so fascinating, after the initial amazement, people gradually get used to their existence. The Hades has a full range of entertainment facilities, an eco-balance zone that allows people to enjoy the idyllic scenery close to the earth, and those simulated high-tech technologies that allow the astronauts to try to eliminate the fatigue of the journey, but in any case, these are still not comparable to the comfort of the earth.

Nearly a month has passed since the departure, and the earth where humans live has become a bright spot in space, and it doesn't look much different from ordinary stars. Mars has also flown by, the huge Jupiter has shown itself below Hades, and Pluto, located in the direction of M25 Sagittarius, is already visible to the naked eye as the distance closes.

"The Russians are still following?" Captain Doolittle took a sip of mellow coffee, artificial gravity not only allows people to adapt to the habit of being on the ground during space navigation, but also brings a lot of convenience to daily life, just like now, if it was the previous space station, it was very difficult to drink a cup of coffee or even a glass of water due to weightlessness. Because the liquid condenses into balloons of various sizes and floats uncontrollably in weightlessness, it must be eaten with care, sipped in small mouths in special containers, and must be able to enter the esophagus directly.

This method of eating, including drinking, is to prevent leaked liquids or food residues from drifting everywhere in weightlessness, resulting in fatal accidents such as breathing blockage, so it is not so easy to enjoy food in space, and under the premise of ensuring safety, people eat and drink only to meet the needs of bodily functions, and cannot enjoy the taste of food and drinks as much as when they are on the ground.

And now, on board the Hades spacecraft with artificial gravity. Doolittle can not only brew a cup of coffee and enjoy the sweet taste of coffee as on the ground, but he can even take a bath in the normal way, even if he fills the bathtub with water and soaks comfortably for an hour. Of course, in order to save the recycling of materials and water, such extravagant practices are absolutely not allowed according to the regulations. Personal cleaning is carried out in a specially made cleaning container.

"Of course we are following, but our peers seem to be in trouble." Hull also had a cup of coffee in his hand and even rested his feet on a table, looking cynical.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Duolittle's mouth, and of course he knew what Hull said as the captain of the ship, this was a few days ago, and the controlled thermonuclear fusion engine of the Russians who had been following him seemed to have something wrong, although it was said that when it was in space. As soon as the spacecraft accelerates to a certain distance, it can then turn off its engines and continue its voyage in space at an average speed, because there is no air resistance in a vacuum, and according to the theory of moving objects in a vacuum, this speed will continue forever.

But in reality, the engines of the spacecraft still have to be kept to a minimum at all times, because there are many uncertainties in space, the most common being the gravitational influence of space dust, asteroid collisions, and large asteroids that come out of nowhere. Constant course adjustments are required during the flight to avoid these factors. And the Russian Starry Sky ran into this trouble a few days ago. When avoiding an asteroid that happened to be in the path of the Starsky, according to the program, the Starry Sky should have started to make avoidance adjustments in advance, and at this time, Hades found that the Starsky's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine did not start at the first time, so that the other party avoided the asteroid's trajectory in a very awkward operating state at the last moment. If there was no error in the judgment, there should have been a problem with the Star's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine, and the Russians barely managed to adjust their course by activating the backup engine at the end.

Due to this situation. At present, the distance between Starry Sky and Hades has been reduced from the original distance of 32,000 kilometers to more than 70,000 kilometers, which is almost equivalent to about 17% of the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

Thinking of this, Doolittle couldn't help but shake his head: "These poor Russians, I really don't know how they survived the rest of the day. ”

"Poor indeed, I think now. The tragic experience of these Russians when they go to the toilet every day, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart when I think of that terrible scene, may God bless the Russians. Hull raised the coffee in his hand, a smile on his lips, but sighed with a look of affection on his face.

As an astronaut, how could Doolittle not know why Hull said this, going to the toilet in weightlessness is indeed a very tragic thing, they astronauts have all experienced this situation, so when they heard Hull say this, Doolittle couldn't help but be happy, and also picked up the coffee in his hand and raised it to Hull, expressing a moment of silence for their Russian counterpart.

After taking a sip of coffee, before Doolittle could put down his cup, the communicator suddenly rang.

"I'm Captain Doolittle!"

"Captain Doolittle, Mr. Anthony, please come over for a moment." As the astronaut of the Hades, Isla and his other three astronauts are all under the command of Captain Doolittle, but in fact, Doolittle knows very well that it is the real owner of the Hades who can really mobilize them, that is, their special passenger Raymond. Mr. Anthony, including his captain, was also given the task of obeying Raymond when necessary. Anthony decided on the order.

"Okay, I'll come right over." Doolittle replied that in order not to waste food, he took a sip of the small half cup of coffee in his cup after the call, and then stood up.

"What? Our boss looking for you? Hull asked, smiling playfully.

Du Lijie nodded, patted him on the shoulder, signaled that he was now in charge, and then walked towards the hatch.

A few minutes later, Doolittle came to Raymond. Anthony's cabin, although it was not the first time he had stepped into this place, he couldn't help but sigh at the uniqueness of this room every time he entered. And now, Raymond. Anthony was dressed in casual clothes, with a tennis cap on his head and a golf club in his hand, while the big screen opposite him simulated the appearance of a very real golf course, and he was enthusiastically practicing his swing.

"Mr. Anthony."

"Oh, Captain Doolittle." Raymond posing for a pole. Anthony heard the voice and looked back, and saw that Doolittle had come, he put down the rod in his hand and smiled: "How about Captain, let's play a game?" ”

Doolittle smiled and shook his head: "I don't have much interest in it, to be honest, I don't have much of a hobby in other sports other than surfing and motorsports." ”

Ramon. Anthony tilted his head to think about it, and asked with a smile: "Maybe this is related to your special profession, I can't compare to you, my favorite thing in the past was riding horses in my own pasture, but now it is no longer possible to ride horses, and an old man like me can only use this boring exercise to maintain his condition." ”

Doolittle smiled noncommittally, Raymond. Anthony put down the golf club in his hand and invited Doolittle to sit on the sofa, he took a bottle of red wine from the cabinet and asked with a smile, "What, drink a little?" ”

"Thank you."

He poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Doolittle, Raymond. Anthony took a sip, and then chatted with Doolittle about the voyage of the Hades, and Doolittle did not hide these circumstances, and answered them one by one, according to the current situation, the voyage was normal, much better than expected.

"It's all thanks to you, thank you very much." Ramon. Anthony raised his glass with great delight.

"It's my job, and that's what I'm supposed to do." Doolittle replied calmly.

"You're a very good captain, and I'm sure you'll be recorded in history." Ramon. Anthony laughed and said with a smile for Raymond. Anthony's words, Doolittle does not deny, because from the beginning of his position as the captain of the Hades spacecraft, he has already recorded in the annals of human space history.

Doolittle was an excellent astronaut and a very capable spaceship captain. It is absolutely impossible for Anthony to bring him in just to inquire about the voyage of the Hades, and if this is all there is to it, there is no need to ask himself personally, because the daily voyage record Raymond . Anthony has the right of access.

So to say really get yourself to Raymond. Anthony must have had other intentions, and after a chill, Doolittle asked directly what he had asked him to do.

"I heard that the Russians are still following us?" Ramon. Anthony asked, playing with the wine glass in his hand.

"Yes, the Russians have been following us, but the distance between them and us has stretched to about 70,000 kilometers, and judging by the avoidance of the asteroid's orbit a few days ago, it is likely that there is a problem with their main engine, and if there is no mistake in judgment, they have started the backup engine."

Ramon. Anthony nodded slightly, he also knew this matter, because according to his request, the monitoring of the Russian Star spacecraft had not been relaxed, and all the information could be delivered to him as soon as possible.

There was silence for a while, just as Doolittle was about to ask Raymond. Does Anthony have anything else to do, if it's okay he's going to go back to the cockpit to continue his duty, Raymond. Anthony asked him suddenly.

"Dear Captain, do you think it's possible if we take out the Starry Sky in space?"

"What?! What do you say? Doolittle was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears, kill the Starry Sky? Ramon. Anthony actually asked him if he could take out the Starry Sky in space? Is he crazy? (To be continued......)
