Chapter 217: Intimidation

Although he had just come down from space, Zhang Chengguang's hands and feet were in a state of weakness, and he even gritted his teeth and insisted on walking by himself, but he still removed the data storage in the return capsule as quickly as possible.

In Zhang Chengguang's view, the data storage is more important than himself and even the other two astronauts, which is that they used all the observation data of the Tiangong space station on the blue star in the past half a year.

After the initial mission failed, they were unable to return to Blue Star, so they took control of the spacecraft to the Tiangong space station, which had previously served as an operational support base.

The Tiangong space station has a large amount of fuel and supplies for this mission, and although the previous mission has refueled most of the fuel to the three spacecraft that flew to the meteorite, the supplies on it are still very sufficient.

After they arrived at the Tiangong space station, they tried to use the communication equipment on the Tiangong space station and the blue star to get in touch, and they did get in touch with the command center for a time, and conducted meteorological and other data observations on the blue star according to the requirements of the command center, so as to provide data support for scientists to analyze the impact of the meteorite impact.

However, with the fall of the meteorite, the dust completely obscured the entire Blue Star, and their communication was severely disrupted, and they could hardly make any contact with the ground.

In the months that followed, they tried to restore communication with the ground, but with little success, receiving only a few sporadic ground signals, mostly a haphazard civil radio signal.

As for communication with the command center, it has never been restored.

After a few months, they gradually ran out of supplies in the Tiangong space station, and in desperation, they decided to take the risk of using the return capsule to return to Blue Star.

It was almost an all-out gamble, as they only had one return capsule, and once they started returning, there was no chance of losing the chance to do it again.

And the landing failure, for them, is just a dead word.

The three astronauts did not care about their own life and death, they were ready to sacrifice for their country long before they set off on the mission.

It's just that the huge amount of precious data they collected from the Tiangong space station, but they have to find a way to hand it over to the state no matter what, which is far more important than the lives of the three of them in their opinion.

That's why they took the risk of choosing the more densely populated areas along the Yangtze River, rather than the sparsely populated northern deserts where the traditional landing area is sparsely populated.

On the one hand, this was to facilitate rescue after landing, and on the other hand, they thought that if the landing failed, their wreckage would fall in this area, and if anyone could find the re-entry capsule, the tightly guarded data storage inside the re-entry capsule would also be able to be found.

In this way, even if they die, this precious data can still be returned to the surface of the Blue Star and sent to the scientists.

However, they seemed to be lucky, although the shell of the re-entry capsule had been hit by various debris and dust during landing, so that the shell of the re-entry capsule had been smashed into pieces, but it was not damaged, and they were still sent back to the surface of the blue star very smoothly.

However, the situation on the ground was worse than they expected, if it wasn't for Chen Xin, who happened to save them, the three soft-handed astronauts really couldn't find shelter in this cold weather of dozens of degrees below zero.

After all, even if they are astronauts who have undergone rigorous training and have been in the gravity-free environment of space for more than half a year, it is impossible to travel long distances while wearing a spacesuit of more than 20 pounds when they suddenly return to the surface.

Not to mention that they also have to face ill-intentioned survivors in the snowstorm and darkness, handing over the data storage they brought back to the state.

Fortunately, they were really lucky to meet Chen Xin, a person who had the ability to help them and had no bad intentions for them.

Zhang Chengguang quickly dismantled the data memory, although this thing was designed to be cheap and disassembled, but in order to protect the data memory itself, it was still very firm, and more than one had to be disassembled.

Zhang Chengguang's hands are a little weak, he does everything easily in the gravity-free environment, half a year has already made his body accustomed to the gravity-free environment, and suddenly returned to the gravity environment, I can't help but feel that it is laborious to do anything.

But now was not the time to worry about that, he had to tear down the few data memories as quickly as possible.

Zhang Chengguang was not slow, he said that it took ten minutes, but it only took more than five minutes, and there were only the last two of the few data memories that needed to be disassembled, and they could all be done in three minutes at his speed.

It's just that at this time, the sound of a car engine also came to Zhang Chengguang's ears, and the four cars were already approaching.

This made Zhang Chengguang anxious, but he didn't panic, and directly loaded the pistol that was put aside, and then continued to race against time to disassemble the data storage.

Chen Xin and the remaining two astronauts in the car were also in a hurry, they saw the four cars that had already entered the line of sight earlier than Zhang Chengguang.

These cars did not hide their intentions at all, and the light of the headlights penetrated the night and shone directly, without the slightest concealment of arrogance.

Chen Xin gritted his teeth, these four cars are no threat to him, his car has armor protection, even the window glass is bulletproof, and there is a heavy machine gun on the roof, it can be said that Chen Xin is willing, and he can solve these guys in minutes.

But the existence of the three astronauts made him full of concerns about exposing his heavy machine gun, if it was just a weapon such as a pistol Chen Xin believed that the three astronauts would not delve into anything, but the meaning of the heavy machine gun is completely different, even in this apocalyptic and chaotic world, this is not something that ordinary people can put on their own cars.

However, if the matter comes to the point where he has no choice, Chen Xin will not hesitate for this little thing, four ill-intentioned cars and three astronauts will not let him take him for the sake of secrecy.

"I'll go down to help Lao Zhang!" An astronaut stood up and wanted to get out of the car, but Chen Xin stopped him.

"It's more than 40 degrees below zero outside, and if you go out like this, you're looking for death!" Chen Xin's tone was not polite, and another astronaut also cooperated to pull the astronaut who wanted to get out of the car.

Forty degrees below zero, this is the human body can not bear the extreme cold, in the absence of adequate protection, it only takes ten minutes to freeze a person, half an hour can directly freeze to death.

That's why Chen Xin gave Zhang Chengguang his protective suit to prevent the astronauts from getting out of the car.

As for the spacesuit that the astronaut wore before, although that thing has very good protective performance, and the total weight is only more than 20 pounds, it takes more than ten minutes to put it on, and it is too late.

In this case, Chen Xin thought for a while and started his car, placing the body between the direction of the four cars and the return capsule, using the body to form a protection to buy time for Zhang Chengguang.

However, Chen Xin did not turn off the engine, but just stopped the body, and at the same time he also picked up the intercom hanging on the console and handed it to the astronauts on the side, and said to him: "This can be shouted outside, first say something casually, scare those people!" ”

The astronaut immediately understood what Chen Xin meant, and hurriedly shouted outside with a walk-around device as he said, and Chen Xin also unceremoniously turned on the volume of the speaker outside the car to the maximum.

"The vehicle in front stops immediately! The vehicle in front stops immediately! This is the Yanguo Space Agency, which is on a secret mission! No one is allowed to approach! Please stop now! Otherwise we will take force measures to drive away! Although Chen Xin and the two astronauts were in the car, the astronaut still pulled out the banner of the space bureau very seriously.

For ordinary people, the space agency and the secret mission are all names that are enough to scare them into some ideas that they shouldn't have, even in today's last days, the state institutions of the Yan country still have full deterrent power.

Sure enough, under the bombardment of the loudspeaker, the four cars that were originally rushing towards Chen Xin's location all stepped on the brakes in unison, stopped on the snow, and stopped a few hundred meters away from Chen Xin's car.

Apparently, deterrence worked.

The four cars parked in the distance seemed to be hesitating, and if the other party rushed over regardless of it, then Chen Xin could only flip out the heavy machine gun on the roof of the car and blow them up one by one.

And now they stopped, saving themselves and saving Chen Xin from exposing the heavy machine gun.

However, no one knows how long this deterrence can last, maybe these people will take risks in the next moment, or maybe the name of the Yanguo Space Agency can scare them away, but for Chen Xin and the three astronauts, all they need is to delay for a few minutes.

Seeing that the four vehicles only stopped and did not withdraw, Chen Xin motioned to the astronauts beside him to continue shouting, and at the same time launched a second drone, approaching the four cars with two drones, and posing in a threatening posture.

Chen Xin didn't know who these people were, but there was no doubt that his operation obviously suppressed them and made them dare not act rashly.

Zhang Chengguang on the other side naturally heard the voice, he quickly dismantled the last data storage, packed up the tools, and hugged the six data storage in his arms, ready to take it away, but the heavy weight was not easy to take.

This made Zhang Chengguang suddenly anxious, he took off the protective suit on his body almost without hesitation, wrapped the six memories in the protective suit, and he himself climbed out of the return capsule with the protective suit.

The cold air instantly eroded his whole body, Zhang Chengguang felt a biting cold, but it did not affect his movements, he quickly rushed to Chen Xin's car, and Chen Xin, who had been staring at this side, also opened the car door when he rushed over.

The two astronauts stood at the door of the car, saw Zhang Chengguang rushing over, and hurriedly stretched out their hands to pull him into the car.

Seeing Zhang Chengguang get into the car, Chen Xin hurriedly closed the car door, and no matter what the reaction of the four cars was, he directly slammed the accelerator and drove away quickly.
