The ventilation system began to operate, the extractor extracted the smoke from the core cabin, the air in the cabin gradually cleared up, and the system computer took over the crystal cabin as soon as it was restarted.

Mai Dong is not clear about the damage to the joint space station for the time being, speaking of which is the second time that the space station has had an accident, but compared to this time, the impact of the Eagle spacecraft more than half a year ago is simply tickling.

Orion and Eagle are not the same level at all, the Eagle spacecraft is only the upper half of the lander, the mass is small and slow, but Orion is a giant spacecraft the same size as the Martian space station, and the consequence of its smashing is that it almost destroyed the entire space station, and the Crystal module escaped with its sturdy cabin, but except for the crystal module, there is basically nothing left of the United Space Station.

Mai Dong put on the cabin suit and turned off the alarm in turn - most of the system computers were also confused, and when they woke up, their limbs were sound and became hemiplegic.

Most of the station's functions have been scrapped, and due to the destruction of the instrument panel, Mai Dong can only use a laptop to access the wireless network of the core module, and use the laptop to control the computer.

"What about the OGS system?" Tang Yue asked.

There is no doubt that OGS is the most critical component of a life support system, and if something goes wrong with OGS, then the situation becomes very tricky.

Mai Dong shook his head.

"No, OGS is gone."

The central cabinet of the OGS is located in the service module of Harmony, and now Mai Dong does not know what is going on in the other cabins, all the hatches of the space station have been locked after the accident, but Mai Dong vaguely remembers that when the impact occurred, she had witnessed the destruction of the Harmony service module by debris of the spacecraft.

Whatever the situation of the Harmony cabin, at least the system computer can't be reached over there.

Without the OGS cabinet, the air circulation and fresh water circulation in the space station will be a problem, Mai Dong can only open the emergency oxygen production system in the crystal cabin, this system is similar to the Kunlun station, using chlorate thermal decomposition to produce oxygen, using lithium hydroxide to absorb carbon dioxide, but the volume is much larger than that on the Kunlun station, a cylinder the size of bottled water.

To put it simply, this is an extra-large oxygen candle.

This thing has a set of emergency kits in each cabin, and after activation, it produces enough oxygen for six people to breathe for seventy-two hours, and roughly calculated, if it only supports one person's survival, then it can work for four hundred and thirty-two hours.

That's eighteen days.

"And what about communication systems? Can the communication system be restored? Can I establish a data transmission link with Kunlun station? Tang Yue asked.

"I'm trying......" Mai Dong leaned his back against the bulkhead, trying to restart the station's main communication system, "It doesn't seem to work, the antenna is broken." ”

The laptop's screen shows "ERROR" over and over again.

Another piece of bad news, the communication mechanism between the space station and the Kunlun station cannot be restored to normal, so they can only rely on this fragile emergency communication link to transmit data, and the emergency communication system has extremely poor call quality and the signal is quite unstable.

"Freshwater...... How much water do you have? ”

"Hmm...... And ......," Mai Dong replied, "three liters." ”

The United Space Station's fresh water reserves have all been lost, and now Mai Dong has only three liters of fresh water left in his hands, which he found from the water bags of two sets of spacesuits.

Tang Yue sat down in his chair.

Three liters?

What can you do with three liters of fresh water?

Although Mai Dong escaped the impact of Orion 2, she is far from out of danger, and the current state of the space station is not reassuring.

The old cat is analyzing the status of the space station, and the Kunlun station has made contact with the space station system computer through an emergency communication link, which transmits the data, and the old cat restores the damage to the space station step by step.

The situation is worse than it thinks.

The damaged modules of the joint space station accounted for 63% of the total, which means that most of the space stations have been scrapped, regardless of the inflatable cabin installed and docked later, four of the original six modules of the space station have lost contact, among which the Silence module and the Harmony module have been mechanically disconnected from the space station, and have disappeared into the vast space at this moment.

The Discovery and Hope modules were ruptured and depressurized, and the latter was cut in half, leaving only half of it.

Only the core module of the Crystal and the node module of the Hub in the center of the space station are still strong.

The main truss was truncated, the super boom was gone, the eight solar sail panels were gone, and only four of the eight solar panels on the other side could still be connected.

"There are two battery packs in the crystal cabin." The old cat frowned and pointed to the chart on the screen, "Fortunately, these two battery packs are still normal, the main battery has 40% of the power left, and the secondary battery has 60% left, it can power the computer, but only four solar panels can still be used...... The trouble is that the space station is stuck in a severe spin, and the attitude is completely out of control, and in this case it is impossible to effectively recharge and stabilize the contact signal. ”

The attitude of the Joint Space Station was spiraling out of control, and it was wrapped in a mass of debris that it was spinning rapidly, and Mai Dong had to work with his back against the bulkhead to mitigate the effects of the centripetal force of the rotation.

But this situation certainly can't last long, and no one can live in a space that rotates all the time.

"It has to be changed!" Tang Yue said.

"The problem is that the space station doesn't have a power system." The old cat groaned, "Orion is no longer there, and the space station itself has no engines. ”

In a weightless environment, if there is no external force to change your state of motion, then you can't do anything by yourself, and there is nowhere to use the force, you will keep rotating and rolling down, rolling farther and farther, rolling more and more round, rolling for a lifetime, rolling until you are old.

"Is it possible to generate momentum by reversing the release of the module?" Tang Yue thought of a way.

Abandoning the scrapped module in the opposite direction of rotation will have a reaction force on the space station itself - the force is reciprocal, this is the law set by the great lord back then, and the whole universe must abide by it.

At this juncture, Tang Yue could only pray for the blessing of the lord.

The old cat thought for a while, and silently calculated in his heart, "No, the torque is too weak, and it is far from the effect of counteracting the angular velocity." ”

"That'...... Then let Mai Dong out of the cabin to try? Is it okay to be driven by manpower? Tang Yuegou jumped over the wall sharply, "Is there any jet spacewalk backpack?" ”

The old cat continued to shake his head.

"Impossible."

Tang Yue looked anxiously, his eyes scanning everywhere, hoping to find some life-saving inspiration, he wanted to find some way to save the space station, but he only had these poor things in his hands, and it was difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice.

"We need a power source." The old cat stared at the monitor, "An engine." ”

"Engine...... Engine Engine Engine ...... That, that, that...... Is that thing still there? Tang Yue suddenly slapped his head, and his speech was so fast that he stammered, and his teeth almost bit his tongue.

"What do you mean?"

"That's the thing!"

"What's that thing?" The old cat asked.

"That thing! That thing! ”

"Name?"

"Hell, I can't remember its name for a while." Tang Yue said, "That incredible, seven-kilogram thrust engine!" ”
