Chapter 125: A Matter of Urgency

"Jerry, what's going on?" An inquiry came from the ground control center, which was closely monitoring the docking situation.

After the three of them finished reporting the current situation, the ground control center was also stunned.

Under normal circumstances, after the docking interface between the space station and the spacecraft is connected, the next step is to balance the pressure on both sides, and then the two sides open the docking interface channel before the astronauts can pass through.

However, the problem now is that a slap does not make a sound! Even if the docking port on the spaceship side can be opened, you still can't get through if the space station is not opened!

There are no locksmiths in space, and when the door is locked, you can only stare dryly! Can you still break in?

And the ground command center that received the message is now completely in a mess.

The person in charge of NASA was sweating profusely at the moment looking at the three-dimensional diagram of the space station displayed on the display screen, and the position of the interface was in a red fault state.

He was nervous, although the previous oxygen tank leak incident had a reason, but as the head of NASA, he was also under a lot of pressure from Congress.

If there is another problem this time, then he can almost consider retiring directly!

Congress needs a scapegoat to appease the discontent of the people, after all, it is all the taxpayers' money of the United States!

"What the hell is going on! Why can't we control the docking port of the space station?! He growled.

"The feedback data from the space station is all in order, and the instructions are well received! But the interface just can't be opened! Seem...... Seems to be physically locked! One technician replied quickly.

Physical lockout? How is this possible!

This is aerospace equipment, do you think it is an inferior firearm that can still be stuck!

At this time, Trump, who rushed to hear the news, walked into the control center with his personal bodyguard.

"Your Excellency!" The person in charge hurried to catch up.

"What's going on? I heard something went wrong here? ”

"Yes...... Yes! The space station's interface control is out of order......"

"Failure? Did you find the cause? ”

"It's not so sure at the moment, it could be ...... It is possible that the interface is stuck due to physical damage in some location. ”

Trump frowned, "You should know that I was under a lot of pressure to persuade Congress to allocate funds for this plan!" It has a special mission......"

The person in charge naturally understood what Trump meant, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Your Excellency the President, don't worry, this is just a small accident, I will deal with it immediately!" ”

He took a deep breath and came to the podium.

"Immediately get the Soyuz out of its current position, abandon the No. 1 pair, and turn to the No. 2 pair interface to re-dock!" He commanded.

……

In the Soyuz spacecraft, three astronauts are waiting for troubleshooting and instructions for the next step from the ground command center.

"There's weirdness! There's definitely something quirky in this! Tom stared at the space station in the monitor, as if trying to see through it.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on, this space station has been used for so many years, and it was all fine before! Why has there been a malfunction recently, is the expiration date almost up? Jerry said a little frantically.

"Uh...... Maybe it's just a small probability of failure? "Phuket is a little uncertain.

"I think there's definitely something in there! Believe me! My instincts have always been accurate! Tom said.

"That's enough, stop selling that woodpecker of yours! Do you have good instincts? I never knew! Jerry lifted his forehead.

"Hey! Little Jerry! Have you forgotten what I said when we first met at the Space Training Center? Tom reminded with a louder voice.

Jerry froze when he heard this.

Boogie looked at Jerry strangely and asked curiously, "What did you say?" ”

"I said, 'Hey man! The first time I saw you, I felt like you were still ......'! Well, my instincts are not right! Tom said with a smug face.

Phuket: "......"

Jerry: "......"

……

When the three of them were talking, they didn't notice that in the blind spot that the monitor below the interface could not illuminate, the silvery-white liquid metal was slowly spreading from the space station towards the Soyuz spacecraft.

Gradually, they climbed up the hull of the Soyuz, spread out everywhere, and soon merged into the ship.

Nie Yun has eaten satellites and space stations, but he has never eaten a space shuttle! This is a technical gap!

How could Nie Yun let go of this kind of fat that was automatically delivered to the door?

The mechanical bugs continued to spread inside the Soyuz spacecraft, first finding the control center, Li Daitao's plan was staged again, the display inside the spacecraft only flickered for a moment and then returned to its original state, and the three astronauts did not realize that their control center had been controlled.

The next step is simple, the mechanical worm begins to reconstruct while decomposing unscrupulously, and quickly analyzes the spacecraft while ensuring the overall structure of the spaceship.

From the outside, the Soyuz spacecraft is strangely changing colors, sometimes turning silvery white, and then returning to its original color, a phenomenon that slowly spreads from the center to the perimeter of the ship......

……

"Hey, hey! Did you notice that something wasn't quite right with the data? It looks like it just flashed! Boogie wondered.

"Why didn't I find out, it's normal?" Jerry took a closer look at the display.

"Nope! I noticed it too! There was indeed a moment when the display flickered! Tom said solemnly.

You must know that the aerospace equipment is all top-of-the-line, and there will never be a flicker of unstable voltage!

"Hey, hey! Don't scare me! This is outer space, and if something goes wrong with the spaceship, even if I have a name, I'll have to get a bento......"

"Although the data shows that everything is normal, my intuition tells me that it must be something inside!" Tom's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Does it want to talk to us? Is this a signal to us? He rubbed his chin and guessed.

Jerry: "......"

"Tom, Jerry, Boogie! Hear it, please answer! "Suddenly, the voice of the ground control center came from the communication.

"Yes, we're listening!"

"You're now out of Pair 1 and moving to Pair 2 to dock again! Pay attention to control fuel saving! ”

"Yes! Got it! ”

The trio were not surprised by this decision, and it should be the most effective solution! They immediately got into action.

Soon, preparations for the departure were completed.

"Breakaway!" Jerry said as he pressed the disengagement button.

Yet a minute passed......

The three of them looked at the unmoving counterpart in a daze, "......"

"Soyuz? What's going on? Why haven't you broken away yet? A voice rang out in the communication.

Tom looked at the space station with a strange look on his face.

"Hmm...... We have a very urgent problem here, if you open the door and the door doesn't open and even the key is stuck...... What to do? ”

NASA Chief: "......"

Trump: "......"

Robotic bug: "......" (haw, haw...... )
