The astronauts on the Enterprise all felt that they had fallen into blood mold during this time.

With the addition of aliens, their lives are even more tormented.

If the population increases and they are still VIPs, then they will eat less, because these four VIPs like green food, so they take out all the food related to "green" for the aliens to eat.

Originally, they were not very satisfied with the freeze-dried vegetables, but since these freeze-dried vegetables, especially the green vegetables, were eaten by the aliens, they could not get the relevant nutrients and trace elements supplemented, so they could only take pills.

Although freeze-dried vegetables are not as good as fresh vegetables, they are not bad on this lonely and empty long-distance space route, and even if they are not as good as fresh vegetables, they are much better than taking pills directly.

In addition to eating and drinking, it is the problem of the ship itself.

Since Enterprise flew out of Martian orbit, they began to discuss with the aliens about the upgrade of the spacecraft, but after discussing it, the spacecraft began to have problems.

It turned out to be as they said, this is an "old spaceship", and it is the "last" voyage mission.

Something went wrong, and the upgrade discussion stopped, and they had to hurry to fix the ship.

The aliens wanted to help, but they politely refused, and they had to explain calmly: "Don't worry, it's all a small problem, it'll be fine for a while." ”

"Yes, after all, it's the last mission, and we've taken it on many voyages, and we have a lot of feelings, so let's do it ourselves."

"Let's accompany the old man on the last journey."

As a result, the "old guy" has more and more problems, fixing a small problem, and immediately a big problem will erupt, until the maneuvering vents on the ship are scrapped.

It doesn't matter if the maneuvering nozzle is scrapped, the spacecraft has several main engines, as long as the relationship between a single engine and the center of gravity of the spacecraft is well utilized, coupled with the precise control of the intelligent control system, relatively accurate attitude adjustment can be achieved.

After all, the Enterprise can land on Earth, and its main engines have adjustable thrust.

As a result, in an attitude adjustment, 40% of the main engine was scrapped, and the intelligent control chip in charge of thrust adjustment was also burned.

No matter how much replacement parts are prepared on the ship, it is impossible to carry several spare main engines.

Even in order to rush the work, even the backup chip for intelligent control of thrust adjustment was not installed.

Anyway, the attitude adjustment in space is the maneuvering nozzle is functioning, and it doesn't matter if the thrust adjustment intelligent control chip is broken, the big deal is not to land directly on the earth, but to dock in orbit, and then use a manned spacecraft, a small space shuttle or an "aerospace plane" to pick it up.

Anyway, in terms of acceleration and deceleration, the main thrusters don't need to be finely adjusted at all, as long as they can fly to Earth orbit, they have many ways to get people back to the ground.

After all, times have changed, mankind's space technology has developed by leaps and bounds, and the available technical means have also increased.

As a result, they were stunned that they could not reach the earth's orbit, and now they stopped cooking.

Mars is too far away from the Earth, and human technology cannot do it at all, and it is necessary to adjust the attitude several times during the flight, only then can the course be kept unchanged, and then cut into the planet's orbit at the most accurate angle and speed.

Now they can't adjust their attitude, they calculated the course and position, and if they don't make a posture adjustment in ten hours, they will have to say goodbye to Earth.

Even if it was only a little bit off from the beginning, the scale of space is quite large, and the longer they fly, the greater the gap in their routes, and in the end, let alone passing by the earth, they can't see the earth at all.

Fortunately, their antennas are fine, and they can still communicate with the earth, but they can't help it, so it depends on what hidden skills the engineers on the earth have not come up with.

For example, there is a "one-click repair" button on the Enterprise spaceship?

Well, it was they who thought too much, and after the news came back, the ground command center quickly contacted them and asked them to make the most detailed report, and after listening to it, the people on the ground were stupid.

At first, they only heard that the power was damaged, and the engineers immediately thought of many solutions, but after listening to the detailed report, it could only be ......

I'm sorry, it's hopeless, wait for death.jpg

Of course, engineers and technicians don't dare to say this.

After all, the stakes are high, and for the sake of aliens, Merrican has been almost killed at the United Nations General Assembly.

Although it is not afraid because of its thick skin, and financial hegemony can allow it to suck blood on many countries, and there are countries that rely on this to support it.

If they don't reach the final limit, they can't really fight back.

But if it's Merrican's own reasons that make the aliens burp, it's impossible to say.

Before the aliens arrived on Earth, everyone was still somewhat restrained, and there was still the idea of finally reaching a cooperation, but if you said that the aliens died in space on the Enterprise spaceship, the hope of human beings coming into contact with alien civilizations and technology being taken away was pinched......

Engineers and technicians who are working days do not dare to take on this responsibility.

So they are all trying to find solutions, one by one, one by one, and constantly coming up with "workable" solutions that they have come up with or found.

Whether it's useful or not, you'll have to keep yourself busy anyway.

The big man in charge of this part of Merrican rushed to the command hall as soon as possible, and they looked at the busy crowd and entered the conference room next to it, but their hearts were getting heavier and heavier.

If the problem was not big, it should have been solved on the way there, but after they spent a lot of time in the conference room, not only did the problem not be solved, but the outside became more and more busy.

Someone came in and reported on the situation and the progress of the matter.

"The situation is very bad, the Enterprise has lost all of its attitude adjustment power and almost half of its propulsion power."

"Didn't the main engine have all its losses? Is it possible to use them for posture adjustment? ”

"It's basically impossible, because the rest of the main engines are on one side, and it can't complete the course correction at all, it will only be repaired more and more off, and the thrust of the main engine is too large, and it can deviate a lot if you drive it a little, which will make the spacecraft spin, and it will be more and more troublesome to adjust."

"Is there any feasible plan for the command center?"

"I haven't found it yet, the engineers on site are still working hard, we have connected with engineers from other aerospace companies, and they are also trying to figure out a way, but we are ...... We have a very bad feeling that we may not be able to ...... this crisis I can't get over it. ”

"Damn, if the Enterprise can't come back, then we will face a big problem, we have a very difficult support in the United Nations General Assembly, Tianxia has united other countries, forming a lot of pressure on us, and those allies who have finally repaired the relationship have also begun to wait and see, if the aliens die in space......"

"Wait, aliens! Aliens may have a way! ”

"Yes, what about aliens? Do aliens have a way? ”

"No, there is no way, according to the report of the Enterprise, at the beginning, the aliens clearly wanted to help, but after the research of the ground command center, the Enterprise refused, originally wanted to show our own technology, but later it was completely impossible to repair."

It's embarrassing.
