Chapter Ninety-Six: The Stars VI
The main engine had been turned off, but the coherence of the spacecraft still allowed it to have tremendous speed, watching those meteorites rush towards the spacecraft at a rapid pace, fine beads of sweat hung on the faces of the two people, fortunately these meteorites were not in the orbit of the spacecraft.
"Turn on Engine No. 2" A meteorite rushed towards the spacecraft, and Nerry stared at it with both eyes, giving an urgent command.
"Engine No. 2 is on", Eva pressed the button to start Engine No. 2, and the spacecraft shook and shifted nearly a kilometer to the right.
A huge meteorite was speeding by, Eva raised her hand to wipe a handful of sweat, it was too dangerous, if it was any slower, they would be destroyed.
"Turn off engine number two," Nerry continued to command, not having a radar screen in his eyes for a moment.
"Engine No. 2 is off" Eva didn't dare to relax, and operated according to Nari's instructions, not daring to slack off at all.
"Turn on Engine Three and get back on track," Nerry commanded as he stared at the screen. Eva followed Nari's instructions and pressed the button to start engine three, and there was no movement. The indicator light was not turned on and the alarm in the cabin was still ringing.
Eva pressed the turn button again, but there was still no movement, and the fine beads of sweat on Eva's face pooled into a stream and fell directly to the floor.
"Engine No. 3 is faulty and won't start" Eva failed to start twice in a row, and she reported the malfunction according to the password.
The sweat on Nari's face was also dripping, and if they couldn't get back on the right track, they wouldn't be able to reach their destination, and they didn't even know where they would end up. It's a search for death. Nari's face turned pale, and his inner hesitation gave him a huge sense of powerlessness.
"Can it be repaired?" Eva asked, with a glimmer of hope. Nary shook his head, the spacecraft was not the same as the space station, there was no extravehicular artificial walking facility designed, and there were no spare parts to repair it.
Eva's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Sit down, go through the meteorite belt first." Seeing Eva's mood hit rock bottom, Nari shouted at her. Eva was startled, this woman who had been killed, temporarily suppressed her mood, straightened up, and sat firmly in the passenger seat.
"We can also use the No. 2 engine, the take-off and landing engines and the main engine, don't worry, and me"! Nari comforted Eva.
"Look, there's a meteorite standing in our tracks," Eva exclaimed. Now they have only the second engine to use, and they can only move in one direction and cannot return to the original intended orbit.
Beads of sweat rolled down the faces of the two, although the main engine had been shut down, the inherent speed of the spacecraft still made the spacecraft approach the huge meteorite step by step, and now there was only one way, which was to turn on the second engine again. Then they really don't know where to go.
The meteorite gradually approached, and Nari didn't make up his mind for a long time, and the torment in his heart made him instantly look like he was ten years old, and Long Zhong showed his old age. Without a decision, the spacecraft will not be able to avoid the meteorite.
Eva turned on engine two, and although the spacecraft moved quickly to the side without Nari's command, it was still a little slower.
Everyone was listening to the key point, but the strange man stopped, sighed, and pressed the wound on his body with his hand, the pain of the wound made her frown, this wound was left by the fight with Nine.
Sun Yang stepped forward and leaned over to inspect the wounds of the strange man, then stood up and shook his head at everyone.
The strange person's injury is too serious, according to the current medical technology, it should be difficult to heal, her heart has broken a big hole, and it is a miracle to be able to live until now, maybe it also has the effect of the light source in the transparent box on the stage.
"You are Eva" Sun Yang asked, this is also a question in everyone's minds,
The strange man nodded, she was the Eva, but Tanxing didn't feel the beauty in her mouth at all. The girl is most concerned about her appearance, and Tanxing is a girl after all, and she can't escape this law.
"Did you avoid the meteorite after turning on engine two?" Sun Yang is a veteran astronaut who has also encountered accidents in space, but it is the first time he has heard something like what Eva said. He remembered what Eva had said last, but it was still a little slower.
This is too important, the spacecraft is damaged in outer space, even if there is a little leak, the threat to mankind is very great, I remember that not long ago, the International Space Station leaked, which made every country nervous, let alone collided.
"The tail of the spacecraft was hit, and our main engine couldn't start," Eva said after struggling for a moment and changing into a slightly more comfortable position.
"Actually, you can also turn on the landing recoil engine to avoid the meteorite," Sun Yang said.
"It seems that you are also an astronaut, and only an astronaut can know the general structure of the spacecraft," Eva said. Dick and Jack threw a surprised look at Sun Yang, and their expressions became more cautious.
"I used to be an astronaut," Sun Yang nodded and said. Eva nodded, and went on to recount what had happened to them.
Eva and Nari's eyes went dark, and there was a loud "bang", and the violent vibration of the spacecraft threw Eva and Nari's upper bodies out of their seats, and they didn't know which corner of the cabin they were thrown to without the harness of the seat belt.
Engine No. 2 is still running, and the spacecraft is still moving to the side.
"Turn off engine number two," Nari shouted. Eva straightened up and reached out to press the shut-off button for engine two. Engine No. 2 stopped running. The alarm lights in the cabin were even more poignant.
It is not yet known how badly the collision just damaged the spacecraft. Nari looked at the barometer, and the air pressure did not drop, which was good news, proving that the cabin had not been damaged and was well sealed.
Their lives are not in danger for the time being. The alarm light on the main engine lit up a blinding red light, and Nari tested the main engine, but there was no movement in the engine.
The meteorite damaged the tail of the spacecraft, the main engine was also damaged, and the spacecraft lost its power source, and Nari looked at the star map, then at the radar screen, and pointed to the star map.
"Good news, bad news, you want to hear that first".
Eva was a little confused, "What's the good news?" What about the bad news, we're all like this now, what's the good news? ”
"The good news is that we've crossed the meteorite belt," Nari said.
"And what's the bad news?" Eva asked.
"The bad news is that we're never going to be there anymore," Nari said, frowning. Listening to Nari's words, Eva had just relaxed a little and tensed again, and now the spacecraft had no main engine.
The spacecraft will not be able to accelerate, it is likely to be captured by the gravitational pull of a certain planet, and finally fall on a certain planet, if it is well controlled, the best result is to land on a certain planet.
In this way, they are faced with another problem, that is, whether this planet is suitable for them to live, and the thought of this makes Eva's heart cold. Nari took Eva in his arms, feeling her heat.
In the current situation, they can only do nothing but go with the flow, and now it is equivalent to their last moments, who knows what will happen later.
Eva was in Nari's arms, her long hair scattered across Nari's chest, and she had never been so docile to Nari as she was now. The two hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's body temperature.
Time passed minute by minute, and neither of them wanted to break the peace in the cabin and wait for time to pass. Despair flowed in each other's hearts, but no one wanted to say it. I don't care about the whereabouts of the spacecraft anymore.
The destination of the spacecraft is no longer important, and cherishing the time spent with each other has now become the most important thing for them. Now that I think about it, how naïve the previous dispute was.
The things that were cherished before are completely worthless, and now they seem not worth laughing at, and laughing is a luxury. They stood taller than anyone else, but they were rushing to death.
Everyone is working hard for their ideals, careers and all the excuses they can think of, but there is an undeniable fact that there is only one destination for people, and that is death, and according to today's technology, no one can escape.
They fled faster than anyone else, stood taller than anyone else, and now ran to death much faster than anyone else.
