"Comrades, we have to go a different way."

Attempts to throw communication buoys onto the top of the tower failed.

In the current weather, it would be unwise to climb to the top of the tower, and the communication tower is the tip, and the thunder will split here.

The damp clouds have sunk again, and it is really foggy to live in this place.

Steng and his party returned to the door of the airlock room of the main building of Cassini Station, "Dai Yue, Eggplant, Boss Zhuo, if you are asked to throw this buoy, how far can you throw it?" ”

The three men were stunned.

How big is the communication buoy? It's the size of a lighter, but it's slightly heavier than a lighter, dark red, very strong, and can still work in extreme environments of minus 180 degrees Celsius, and it is logically difficult to damage - unless it is directly hit by a high-voltage lightning strike of tens of billions of volts.

Each of these buoys has a dozen, neatly stacked in a small box, which opens like a cigarette.

Liu Peiqi looked around and smacked his mouth.

"I really haven't tried this, just this gravity, it is estimated that throwing 1,800 meters will not be a problem."

The gravity on the Titan is only one-seventh that of Earth, and the world record is easily broken by throwing a discus throw gun here.

"Throw it up?" Stern asked.

"Up?"

A buoy weighs about 150 grams, and the weight of three eggs makes it no problem for a strong adult to throw eggs into the sky with all his might, and throw them at a height of 10 meters and 15 meters.

If you don't take into account air resistance, the gravity on the Titan is one-seventh of that of the Earth, and a rough estimate is that throwing an egg on the Titan can reach a height of seventy meters and one hundred meters.

This height is already far greater than that of the communication tower.

Coupled with the help of the Iron Float, the communication buoy can be thrown out like a mortar running bomb.

"If we throw the communication buoy as high and far as possible, is it possible for it to contact the relay satellite in orbit?" "How likely is it that this will succeed?" ”

"How long can this stay in the air?" Insight asked.

"How many seconds is a few seconds?" Stong said, "Even if the signal is only sent for a second, even if our goal is achieved, the people on Earth will definitely send rescue when they know that we are still alive." ”

"It's hard to say." Dai Yue frowned, "The reason why the communication tower can keep in touch with the satellite is not because of how high it is, but because it has a high-power antenna, the power of the buoy is too small, if you want it to fly to an altitude that is not affected by weather and thunderstorms, it will take at least 10,000 meters...... Who the can throw this thing 10,000 meters into the air? ”

"We need a cannon." Insight nodded.

"The gravitational acceleration of the Titan is 0.14 G, and the hydraulic system of the Iron Float can give the buoy a maximum initial velocity of 120 meters per second, even if this speed is all applied in a completely upward direction, the maximum height that the buoy can reach will not exceed five thousand meters, and the air resistance of the Titan is very large." Dai Yue calculated, crouched down and drew a parabola with his fingers, "But we actually have to avoid throwing the buoy directly above, because there is a thunderstorm overhead, and we have to try to throw it into the area where the impact of the thunderstorm is weak." ”

"You also have to consider the effects of the wind." "Maybe the wind can carry it higher into the air." ”

"Of course, the wind could have slammed it on the ground." Liu Peijia said, "You are gambling." ”

"It's gambling." Steng nodded, "But it's worth a try." ”

According to Stern's vision, they could use a rather risky and uncertain method, which was to throw the communication buoy out, and throw it hard!

The Shangri-La Plains and the whole of Titan are a fairly flat planet, with undulating terrain, and there is no second high point nearby except for the communication tower, and the only way to get the antenna up is to throw it out!

In the unlikely event that the buoy reaches the height or area where the signal is successfully received, it will be able to send out a distress signal.

Obviously, this was done to treat the communication buoy as a disposable, and no one knew where it would fall and could never be recovered, but fortunately they had enough buoys in their hands, six for each person, and there were thirty-six for six people.

One batch tossed four, and the buoys in their hands were enough to toss nine batches.

These nine batches of thirty-six buoys will be thrown into the unknown world, never to return, just to pass on a word.

That sentence is:

Asking for a ticket——!

Bah.

Help——!

"This is Buoy One." Sten pinched a buoy and shook it in front of everyone, "Let's throw it due east." ”

The buoy has been set up, it can withstand low temperatures, high temperatures, high pressures, and work normally on the top of Mount Everest as well as under the Mariana Trench, it has a miniature nuclear power battery that can last for thirty days, and in these seven hundred and twenty hours, it will repeatedly broadcast Liu Peijia's broken gong voice outward without interruption -

"Help—life—ah——!"

Liu Peijia nodded, his iron float had been firmly nailed to the ice, and the humanoid howitzer put down the hoe and firmly pressed it against the ground.

He took the buoy, clasped his hands together, and took a deep breath like a baseball player pitcher.

There is a subtle motor rotation sound in the Iron Float, entering the engineering mode, at this moment is not Liu Peijia but the mechanical exoskeleton that is leading the action, with human bones and muscles, at most the buoy can be thrown out of two or three thousand meters of distance, but the Iron Float is different, it is the motor and hydraulic mechanism that provide power for the Iron Float, its military version of the sibling can carry six missiles over the mountains and mountains, the Iron Float in the engineering mode abandons flexibility only to release all the power of the machine, its strength at the moment is dozens of times that of human beings, In the Titan's gravity, it can throw a buoy thirty kilometers away.

Liu Peijia waited for Tiefutu to accumulate strength.

The green light is on.

Charge up.

"Get out of the way." Liu Peijia said, "Countdown before projection, three!" ”

Shi Teng and the others took two steps back.

"Two!" Facing the boundless mist, Liu Peiji flexed his forearms, his upper body slowly twisted, and the inner lining of Tiefutu was expanding, wrapping his skin tightly.

Boy, fly me a little farther away.

Liu Pei said.

"One!"

Liu Peiqi faintly heard a slight "boom" sound, it may be the sound of a spring in the exoskeleton being released, and then everything became faster, a huge force pushed him forward, within 0.1 second, his right hand was accelerated to 120 meters per second, this rapid acceleration only lasted 50 centimeters, just the length of his arm, at the end of the acceleration Liu Peiqi let go of the communication buoy, and then his body fell forward and rolled and unloaded.

"Buoy One! Fly high for me——! ”
