Chapter 1289: Escape Pod
Escape pod, escape pod! It's a fifty-meter-long compartment with independent engines, and now, when everyone is inside, the emergency escape procedure begins!
The blast bolt exploded, separated from the core module, and the rescue pod left the exploding Spirit and flew alone in a direction that was more than scattered B!
From here, you can see that the Spirit is exploding one after another, and everyone is in a heavy mood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, Spirit had enough fuel, and if they could live for a long time, it would be possible to return to Earth, or their bodies would be brought back to Earth, somewhere outside Spirit, where there was some space that could be used as a space coffin, and whoever died, just hang it outside.
But now, the 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 Earth, and their corpses will remain here!
"Guys, right now, we're not at the worst, at least, we have a planet that looks good to go to." Bella said to the people around her, "Originally, we were only 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 level of life! No matter where you are, only by surviving first can you have hope!
"Perhaps, Earth will soon send a new spaceship to rescue us." Chris also said on the side: "When the second ship is built, they will definitely come to us!" We just need to settle in here first! ”
Chris's words, let more people nod, as astronauts, participating in this mission, they are actually ready to sacrifice, they are conscious, but they will never give up casually!
"Now, what we have to do well is to land on Proxima Centaurib, we have to adjust our position, and only when we land on the equator, where the temperature is high enough. And, hopefully, there is oxygen there. ”
Proxima Centauri b is close enough to Proxima Centauri, but Proxima Centauri is already at the end of its star, with little energy, and only on the equator of Proxima Centauri, the temperature is high enough to allow liquid water to appear.
At the same time, the resources carried in this rescue pod 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, what is on Proxima B, no one knows.
If the above living conditions are not enough, it will be the most terrible situation! Although these current astronauts are high-sounding on the surface, when the real test of life and death comes, there will be some people who can't stand the test, and even some people will try to kill everyone else in vain, leaving all the supplies to him alone, so as to survive until the arrival of the next spacecraft!
If it really comes to that time, the rank of the marshal cannot make the other party jealous, only violence!
Moreover, in Bella's heart, there is still a big question now, why did the Spirit malfunction? Now, the Soviet spacecraft has been designed quite advanced, and the redundancy is very high, and such a serious accident is simply impossible!
It's just that, now, she is still only suspicious, and now, she can't say what she doubts, but needs to investigate slowly!
Proxima Centauri B, which is larger than the Earth, also has an atmosphere on its surface, if it was before, entering the atmosphere was a serious test, and now, with the maturity of nuclear power technology, it is not too difficult to slow down re-entry into the atmosphere.
"Jorio, be ready to take control manually." Bella gave the order. The malfunction of the Spirit just now made them feel uneasy, and if there was a problem with the escape pod, it would be transferred to manual control at any time, ready at any time!
"Understood."
"Now, start slowing down!"
Decelerate! The escape pod adjusted its attitude, the tail nozzle forward, the small nuclear fusion engine successfully started, jetted forward, the speed decreased, and it was successfully captured by the gravitational pull of Proxima B!
"Keep slowing down and descend in height."
At this time, the escape pod has already flown around Proxima Centauri, and you can see that most of the planet is a white surface, and those should be ice, this is a frozen planet, and only near the central equator, some liquid water can be seen!
If there is no land, it is also a big problem, although the escape pod can float, but the absence of land means that there is no reliable source of food!
There is no other choice, the food in the escape pod is only enough to eat for half a year, they can't fly to other planets, they can only be here!
Keep slowing down! As the speed decreases, the escape pod keeps approaching the surface of the planet, and finally, in a beautiful gesture, enters the planet's atmosphere!
The exterior began to rub against the atmosphere, and even the heat wave outside the glass could be seen, and the temperature of the escape pod also increased slightly.
"Slow down, keep slowing down!" Bella continued to give orders.
The escape pod entered the atmosphere steadily, continuing to slow down, and the speed became smaller and smaller.
"Adjust your attitude and prepare to land."
Until now, there has been no switch to manual control, the computer is precisely controlling the trajectory of the landing, and at the same time, everyone feels more and more heavy.
Whether it is on the moon or on the Courage in outer space, the artificial gravity is about one-sixth of that of the Earth, and now, the gravity of this planet should be greater than that of the Earth.
After a short period of time, you will be a little uncomfortable, and after a while, you will slowly get used to it.
Now, the main thing is to find a suitable place to land!
"It's all water, it's all water down there!" At this time, the speed has dropped, sitting on the seat, looking outside, Jorio is a little inexplicably nervous, is he really going to land on the water?
"There, there seems to be a piece of land ahead!" Suddenly, Bella looked ahead and said loudly.
In front, there is land!
If you have water and land, you can survive!
"Slow down, get ready to put down the legs." 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! For the rest of their lives, everyone was filled with some kind of happiness, and they were lucky compared to the two colleagues who had died.
"Look, what's that?" That's when an astronaut discovered something.
