Chapter 15: Heavenly Fire
At noon on the third day, Yin Chen and others were resting on the Yaco Heights, 3,700 kilometers away from the Roman crater.
Li Xiaodou, who was sitting in the main driver, was nibbling on a compressed biscuit, and suddenly he felt a few points of light flash in front of him.
He looked up and saw a large field of small meteorites coming at them.
Li Xiaodou hurriedly threw down the compressed biscuit in his hand and started the lunar rover and drove forward.
The rover's rapid acceleration prevented the other four from reacting, and they all stumbled on the ground.
Wofley was about to get up and scold, Li Xiaodou braked again, and a meteorite fell in front of the lunar rover.
Wofley leaned forward and rushed out, but fortunately he was caught by Yin Chen in time and couldn't jump out.
Before Yin Chen could ask, Li Xiaodou hurriedly said, "There is a large meteorite flying towards us, you guys quickly put on the extravehicular suit and sit on the left side." ”
When Yin Chen heard this, he immediately got up, picked up the extravehicular coat at the rear of the cabin, and sat on the left side of the cabin.
At this time, Li Xiaodou had already made a left turn, and the meteorite that was originally striking head-on was now flying towards the lunar rover from the right.
Large meteorites covered the sky, and the sun's rays were blocked a lot, and the sky was dark and oppressive.
Li Xiaodou drove the lunar rover to constantly dodge the falling meteorites, and the meteorites fell on the moon without making a sound, but Yin Chen and the others could still feel the violent vibrations on the moon surface.
It was only Yin Chen who thought that Li Xiaodou had not yet worn an extravehicular suit, and the lunar rover was at risk of being hit at any time.
Once the lunar rover was hit and the body was broken, the instantaneous low pressure and high temperature, Li Xiaodou, who was not wearing an extravehicular suit, could not hold it for a second.
Yin Chen unbuckled his seat belt and sat in the passenger seat, signaling Li Xiaodou to go to the back to change into an extravehicular suit.
Li Xiaodou willingly transferred the control authority to the co-pilot and handed it over to Yin Chen to drive.
Yin Chen sat in the co-pilot, looking out through the glass on the side, a large area of meteorites covered the sky, stretching for dozens of kilometers.
The rover swayed left and right, constantly dodging meteorites flying in front and to the side.
The meteorite fell to the ground, striking up layers of lunar soil and slowly falling, and a thick layer of lunar soil accumulated on the lunar rover.
Li Xiaodou staggered to Yin Chen's side, patted Yin Chen's shoulder, and motioned to Yin Chen that he had changed into an extravehicular suit.
When Yin Chen saw it, he immediately pressed the buck button.
Yin Chen was engrossed in driving the lunar rover, dangerously dodging the falling meteorites again and again.
After a few minutes, the number of meteorites falling down gradually decreased.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the lunar surface near the rover darkened.
Everyone looked out the window and saw a meteorite about five meters in diameter looming over the lunar rover.
The speed of this large meteorite is so fast that it is impossible to dodge.
Yin Chen immediately stepped on the accelerator and shouted loudly: "Everyone hurry up." ”
The lunar rover rushed out like an arrow from a string, and at the same time, Yin Chen quickly adjusted the direction of the lunar rover.
In an instant, the meteorite slammed into the ground to the right of the rover.
When the lunar dust fog gradually cleared, the lunar rover was revealed.
Yin Chen's final adjustment made the meteorite not hit the lunar rover head-on, but even so, the rolling of the meteorite after landing still affected the lunar rover.
The right side of the rover was hit by a large crater by a meteorite, and the nanoglass on the right side was also shattered.
The main equipment was spared by being concentrated in the back of the lunar rover.
All five people in the car fell into a coma due to the impact.
An hour after the meteorite impact ...
Yin Chen slowly woke up, and at this time, the dust outside the car had dispersed, and a huge meteorite was lying on the right side of the lunar rover.
Yin Chen unbuckled his seat belt, and just as he wanted to get up, a sharp pain hit his right leg.
He subconsciously touched his right leg, and the cabin suit was not damaged, but he could feel that his right leg was broken, which should have been caused by the impact just now, and the car door next to him was already dented.
He slowly stood up with his hand on the back of the driver's seat and walked to the cabin behind him.
He endured the pain and sat next to Ding Jia, the dead fat man was still asleep.
Yin Chen shook Ding Jia vigorously.
Ding Jia is still dreaming at the moment, in the dream he ate a lot of big fish and meat, but in a blink of an eye, the big fish and meat in front of him have turned into tasteless energy blocks.
A voice sounded in Ding Jia's ears: "Dead fat man, wake up, something happened." ”
As soon as Ding Jia opened his eyes, the energy block in front of him was gone, but instead it was filled with lunar soil and the sunken body.
Ding Jia's memory flowed rapidly, and he forgot about the big fish and meat and returned to the lunar rover.
"Hey, what do you want? Don't wake them up yet. Yin Chen saw Ding Jia in a daze and shouted at him over the radio.
Only then did Ding Jia react, unbuckle his seat belt and call the remaining three.
When everyone woke up, they were all depressed and faced with the devastated lunar rover.
The lunar rover is their only tool to reach the return point, which is still a full 3,700 kilometers away from the return point.
Looking at everyone's appearance, Yin Chen knew that he should stand up: "That, don't be like this, we must have a way to get to the return point in time, don't be too frustrated." I still have a way, but I need the help of all of you.
As soon as everyone heard that Yin Chen still had a way, the frustration in their eyes suddenly decreased a lot.
Li Xiaodou stood up and said, "I believe in Brother Yin, what should I do, what you command." ”
Ding Jia also stood up and said: "Fat man, I naturally believe in my buddy, we can still work hard, Sisi and Wolfley, don't be too frustrated, let's work together." ”
Su Sisi and Wofley also had a spark of hope in their eyes when they heard the two of them say this.
Yin Chen laughed happily when he saw that everyone was fighting spirit, he stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist and put it in the middle of the five people, and the other four people also stretched out their hands to Yin Chen to touch their fists.
The five people shouted cheers in unison, and this cheering made the fire of the fighting spirit of the five people burn even more.
Yin Chen said: "Let's go check the lunar rover first, Wofley go check the computer wiring, and the equipment will be handed over to the fat man, and Doudou will help Sisi sort out the food and water."
After hearing Yin Chen's words, Ding Jia leaned his face in front of Yin Chen and asked, "Then what about you, big brother, do you want to be the shopkeeper?" ”
Yin Chen listened and pointed to his right leg and said, "Na, isn't it a broken leg, just work hard for our big brother Ding, hehe." ”
Ding Jia said with a disgusted face: "It's really cheap for you, dead slut." ”
Yin Chen sat up straight with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Ding! Don't worry, go check the car, I'll make a plan for the future! ”
Ding Jia said angrily: "Get out! With that, he turned and walked out of the cabin.
Everyone was amused by the two brothers, and the previous gloom of frustration was swept away.
When everyone was busy, Yin Chen was still very leisurely, but when everyone told Yin Chen about the current situation, Yin Chen couldn't be happy.
Ding Jia told Yin Chen that all the glass on the right side of the lunar rover was shattered, the body was also dented inward, and a bottle of liquid oxygen leaked.
Su Sisi reported that the tank had cracked and that there were only five bottles of water left.
The good news is that the food is still plentiful and the car's system is fine.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yin Chen spoke: "In that case, we can't rush to the return point of the Roman crater as planned. “
Li Xiaodou asked incredulously, "What?" If we don't go to the Roman Crater, then what do we rely on to go back? “
Yin Chen touched the glass helmet and said, "It's up to you and Wofley, I asked him before, and he said it's no problem." “
"Yes, no problem, we plan to hack into the computers at the air base and steal the map of the return points." Wofley swore by it.
Yin Chen asked, "How is it, Doudou?" I guess that's fine. “
Li Xiaodou thought for a while and said: "I'm fine, but I don't know if Lili has a problem." “
Li Xiaodou has always been dissatisfied with Waffley calling him Doudou, and now he has to compare everything with him, and he has taken his new nickname "Lili".
Waffley touched Li Xiaodou's head and said, "Doudou, you have to come on, this is a big task for us, don't hold me back." “
Li Xiaodou slapped Wofley's hand away and said, "Let's see!" “
Yin Chen pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, when are you two still playing?" “
The two of them immediately bowed their heads and remained silent.
Yin Chen saw that the two of them stopped talking and continued: "The work of repairing the cabin will be handed over to the fat man and Sisi, as for the problem of fuel and water, I will think of a way." “
After assigning the task, the four of them went to work separately, while Yin Chen was worried about fuel and water.
Yin Chen, who was sad and bitter, didn't know that all this was arranged by his father.
At this time, Yin Rangsheng was looking at the smashed lunar rover on the screen and smiling.
Yin Rangsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaolou, you did a good job, go back and commend you." “
Adjutant Xiaolou scratched his head and said, "Chief of General Staff, why should you be so cruel to your son." “
"Hey, I think he is living too comfortably in the M-52 base, and he must let this kid suffer a little, otherwise he won't be able to make a big deal in the future, and besides, I believe he can be selected, and it's good to suffer a little more." Yin Rangsheng said proudly to Xiaolou.
In fact, when Yin Chen learned about this incident in the future, not only did he not blame Yin Rangsheng, but he was very grateful to Yin Rangsheng for the trouble he found.
After all, the experience of this trouble saved his life in the near future.
