Chapter 215: The Man Who Descended from Heaven
Orange-red firelight lit up the sky, and huge fireballs streaked across the sky like meteors, falling downward.
The sky lit up for the first time in a long time, like the sun rising again.
The earth was lit up again after more than half a year, and the illuminated wilderness was covered with ice and snow, reflecting the orange-red light, as if everything was shrouded in firelight.
Chen Xin sat in the driver's seat and had already smashed the hoe under the car into the ground, hoping to fix the car body.
Such a big fireball, once it falls to the ground, it will inevitably cause a great impact, and Chen Xin can only hope that he will not be blown away at this time.
However, to Chen Xin's surprise, the falling speed of the fireball was not fast, it could even be said to be very slow, even the drone that was originally released returned to the car, and the huge fireball had not yet landed, and even seemed to be slowing down.
Chen Xin was extremely surprised, he stared at the huge fireball seriously, thinking that it might not be a meteorite.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin hurriedly took out the telescope and looked in the direction of the firelight, wanting to see what this fireball was.
The orange firelight wrapped the objects inside the fireball, making it difficult for Chen Xin to see what it was, and the magnification of the telescope was not high, so it was difficult for Chen Xin to judge, but in terms of shape, it really didn't look like a meteorite.
"It can't be a satellite or something, right? But why do you keep slowing down? "Except for meteorites, the only things that can fall from the sky can be space vehicles and the like.
If it is a space vehicle, then it is not surprising that it will slow down, some space vehicles with their own return program will slow down in order to avoid being burned out when entering the atmosphere, on the one hand, to avoid the surface and air friction violently causing the temperature to be too high, on the other hand, to avoid falling too fast and causing impact.
And being able to slow down means that this thing should still be working.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin was relieved, it seemed that he didn't have to resist the impact, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Confirming that he was not in danger, the fire on the surface of the space vehicle in the sky was also weakening, which meant that its speed was gradually decreasing, and Chen Xin also looked at it seriously with the telescope with great interest.
Many people may have seen a rocket launch, but not everyone can be lucky enough to see a space vehicle like this returning from space and landing on the ground.
It's just that Chen Xin still thinks it's a little strange, it stands to reason that space vehicles will not land in places like Hunan Province or Hubei Province, because there are too many mountains and there is no flat area large enough, which is not suitable for the landing of space vehicles.
In the case of Yanguo, under normal circumstances, the landing area of space vehicles returning from space is generally on the sea or the desert or Gobi in Mongolia and Xinjiang provinces, and the open environment is easy to recycle, not to mention, it can also effectively reduce the damage caused by accidents.
As for the situation of landing in Hunan Province or Hubei Province as it is now, it can only be an accident or an unexpected situation.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, this was a space vehicle that was still in operation and could return to the ground on its own, although he didn't know why it landed here.
Maybe you should check it out for yourself? With such a large space vehicle, someone should come to recover it, right?
Thinking like this, Chen Xin adjusted the radar on the car and aimed it at the aircraft, which had gradually slowed down and the fire on the surface had weakened a lot, to see where it would fall.
However, the radar performance on Chen Xin's car is not so strong, or the landing space vehicle is not within its scanning range, Chen Xin can only give up the idea of using radar to track the aircraft and use a telescope to observe the trajectory of the space vehicle's fall.
However, when he saw the space vehicle through the telescope again, because the flames on the surface had weakened a lot, Chen Xin could finally see clearly that it was a return capsule.
Chen Xin can also be regarded as an astronomy enthusiast, and he is also familiar with Yanguo's spacecraft.
In addition, when various countries joined forces to prevent the meteorite from falling more than half a year ago, there were long reports on the spacecraft carried by the astronauts of Yanguo, and the shape of the return capsule in front of him was very impressive to Chen Xin.
This is an astronaut returning from space? Chen Xin felt that his brain was a little insufficient, those astronauts actually came back now, and they landed here in Hubei Province?
Chen Xin thought that because of the failure to prevent the meteorite from falling, the astronauts had already sacrificed!
After all, after they landed on the surface of the meteorite, blew up the meteorite, and changed its trajectory, the speed of their return was not comparable to the meteorite itself, and when they arrived on Earth, the meteorite had already impacted, causing a global disaster.
Low Earth orbit may be full of meteorite debris, and there is a high probability that the spacecraft they are flying on will be damaged by a direct hit by meteorite debris.
Even if they were lucky enough to escape the effects of meteorite debris, the harsh environment on the surface made it impossible for them to return to space or try to force their way through the dust and debris atmosphere and gamble their luck to see if they could make it to the ground.
It is not particularly surprising that they were able to successfully return to the surface, after all, if they are lucky, the quality of the spacecraft can still guarantee the return.
As for why they landed in Hubei Province, the surface of the earth is now full of dust and debris, and from outer space, the entire surface should be covered in dust, and it is already a miracle that they can still land on the territory of the Yan Country in the absence of sufficient reference targets.
The only thing that made Chen Xin feel strange and incomprehensible was why they didn't return until more than half a year later.
How did these astronauts survive most of the year? There is no way to carry so much food on a spacecraft, what do they eat and drink?
However, Chen Xin quickly put this problem behind him, because the flames on the surface of the spacecraft had gradually extinguished, and it had begun to slow down further, and it was about to land on the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Xin hurriedly put away the hoe under the body, started the car again, and drove in the direction where the spacecraft landed.
No matter why the astronauts are only returning now, and no matter why they are here, now that they are back, Chen Xin feels that he needs to help them, and he has the ability to help.
Driving the car, moving towards the direction of the spacecraft landing as fast as possible, Chen Xin kept looking at the spacecraft in the sky, while also turning on the power of the radar to the maximum, scanning for other people around.
With such a big movement just now, Chen Xin felt that it would be difficult for anyone to ignore the past, if other people also discovered the spacecraft and were rushing here, then the matter would be complicated.
It's okay to say if it's someone who also wants to help, but if someone has a bad idea, it's not a good thing for these astronauts who have gone through a lot of hard work to return to the ground.
Thinking like this, Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, then glanced at a red switch on the console, which was the switch of the heavy machine gun on the roof, and pressing it could raise the heavy machine gun on the roof.
However, Chen Xin saw that no one else was detected on the radar, so he didn't raise the machine gun immediately.
As Chen Xin continued to approach, the spacecraft in the sky was about to fall to the ground, and three huge parachutes had opened on top of it, which were further decelerating it.
Chen Xin chased the position of the spacecraft, the speed of the car was already very fast at this time, but it still couldn't catch up with the speed of the spacecraft's descent, and before Chen Xin arrived at the location where the spacecraft landed, it had already fallen to the ground.
Seeing the spacecraft landing, Chen Xin couldn't help but get nervous, turned on the radio on the side, and tried to call the spacecraft, hoping to contact the astronauts inside, while Chen Xin was also approaching the spacecraft as fast as possible.
However, no matter how Chen Xin called on the radio, there was no answer or reply from the spacecraft, which made Chen Xin suddenly a little nervous and worried.
Fortunately, just when Chen Xin was nervously driving the car and finally arrived near the spacecraft, he finally saw that the hatch of the spacecraft was opened from the inside, and an astronaut wearing a heavy spacesuit climbed out of it and fell on the snow.
Seeing this, Chen Xin hurriedly stopped the car, put on his protective clothing and got out of the car, and ran a few steps to the astronaut's side, Chen Xin patted him on the shoulder and shouted to him: "Can you hear me?" You okay? ”
The astronaut raised his arm, nodded slightly to Chen Xin through the mask, indicating that he could hear him, and at the same time pointed to the spacecraft beside him, as if to signal that there were still people in the spacecraft.
Seeing that the astronauts seemed to be in good condition, Chen Xin put him down and ran towards the spacecraft, looking in from the hatch, there were two astronauts inside, trying to figure out of it.
One of the astronauts saw Chen Xin appear, with a surprised expression on his face, and was just about to take off his helmet, Chen Xin hurriedly stopped him and said: "Don't take off your helmet, it's only minus 40 degrees outside!" Give me your hand and I'll pull you out! ”
With Chen Xin's help, the two astronauts finally climbed out of the spacecraft.
Looking at the three astronauts who collapsed on the ground, Chen Xin was a little embarrassed, he was only one person, and it had taken a lot of effort to pull the two astronauts out of the spacecraft just now, and now it was not easy to move them to his car.
Chen Xin thought about it for a while and said to them, "You guys wait here, I'll go and drive the car over." ”
After saying that, he ran back to the car, drove his car over, and then took the arm of an astronaut, helped him up from the ground, and carried the person to the car.
