75 hours after the ISS space station de-orbited......

In the core module of the International Space Station, Matt and several astronauts gathered in one cabin, and everyone's bodies shivered from time to time, and now the temperature in the cabin is about to drop below freezing.

Backup power is running out, and the space station is about to run out of power, and it will be unable to heat up.

The core module had three solar panels, and in the process of escaping, the No. 5 module was hit by debris, two of which were unfortunately in the No. 5 module, while the only remaining one also failed.

If the core module had been hit, everyone would have been doomed.

"Hawke, how about we make a bet? Bet on whether we will starve to death, or freeze to death? I'm betting to freeze to death! Another American astronaut, Hector, broke the quiet atmosphere of the space station, he said with a smile, but the smile was reluctant.

"It saves effort, and it also saves oxygen." Hawke replied to him, he was German.

"The Germans really don't have a sense of humor." Hector grinned.

"Maybe suffocate to death." Hovsky, a cosmonaut from Russia, said that by now everyone has let go of life and death.

"Come on, I've seen the oxygen reserves in the core cabin, enough to consume 45 days, in short, I won't be suffocated." Hector said.

At this moment, Liu Wei came out of his sleeping bag, and Matt saw him go to get the spacesuit, and immediately said, "Liu, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Wei said while wearing a spacesuit: "In short, I don't want to freeze to death, so I'm going out to fix the solar panels." ”

Everyone was silent, and after a while, Matt said: "Liu, I know you don't want to give up, and you still have a glimmer of hope, but in fact, we all know that the current limit speed of human beings can no longer catch up with the space station. In 75 hours, the space station has traveled 2.13 million miles (about 3.42 million kilometers) at a speed of 28,409 miles (12.7 km/s), and we are now 198,000 miles (320,000 kilometers) away from the Earth. ”

"In 7 hours, we will set a new record in the history of human spaceflight, surpassing Armstrong and becoming the farthest human to fly from Earth, haha." Hector grinned.

"Being buried in the starry sky may be our best home, which is the glory of astronauts." So said the Russian Hovsky.

"Even if you die, you have to end your life with enough food and sleep." Liu Wei said.

"Damn, the Chinese are really iron-headed." Matt shook his head helplessly with a smile, then got out of his sleeping bag and took off another spacesuit.

A few minutes later, Liu Wei, who was dressed in the spacesuit, had the repair tools ready, and Matt had also put on his spacesuit.

When the two of them left the core cabin, Hector, who was nested in his sleeping bag, suddenly said, "Hey, I'm afraid of the cold, I'm too lazy to move, and I don't want to collect the corpse for you, so be careful." ”

Seven minutes later, Liu Wei and Matt went out of the capsule into spacewalk and came to outer space, Matt looked over and saw the solar panels hanging on the core module, and subconsciously scolded: "Madefaq, I hope it can be repaired before the oxygen runs out." ”

The two men gradually approached the solar sail panels along the outer pendant of the capsule and began to enter maintenance, and the space station is now flying away from Earth in a curved orbit at a speed of 12.7 kilometers per second, having traveled more than 3.4 million kilometers.

However, for Liu Wei and them, compared to the space station itself as a reference system, it is a stationary state.

As the minutes ticked by, the oxygen consumption of the spacesuit lasted for about three and a half hours, and the six astronauts came from different countries, but at this moment there was only one identity for them - human.

Before you know it, three hours have passed, and the solar panels have successfully repaired 90% of the damaged parts, and they will be able to operate again in about ten minutes, when they can convert electricity to power the space station.

……

At the same time, 1,450 kilometers from the International Space Station, a lightweight man-made vehicle is traveling at a relative speed of 15.99 kilometers per second, a speed that takes less than eight minutes to catch up with the International Space Station.

It's the Sky Blade One!

In the cockpit, Mona fell asleep, but after two minutes, she was woken up on time.

After the Sky Blade 1 broke away from gravity, it has been in the universe for eleven and a half hours so far, with a range of more than 650,000 kilometers.

Otherwise, even with the speed of the Sky Blade Fighter, it would be impossible to catch up.

"emmm......" The girl yawned, her eyes just opened, and all the electronic devices in the cockpit were activated, and the Sky Blade Fighter ended its silence.

Mona put on the head-up display helmet again, and immediately typed in the voice command: "Call up the logbook." Ah~~ There is a difference of more than 1,000 kilometers from the established space orbit coordinates......"

"Start the main engine system!"

A dazzling light suddenly appeared in the dark starry sky, but on a cosmic scale, this light was as insignificant as dust.

The twin vents in the tail of the Sky Blade emitted a blue-white light curtain.

"Transform into mech mode!"

After Mona entered this command, the Sky Blade fighter in outer space instantly staged an incomparably sci-fi gorgeous transformation, the cockpit came to the center, and the nozzle of the main engine pointed in the direction of the ISS space station.

During the transformation of Sky Blade One into mecha mode, Mona couldn't help frowning slightly, and her clever mouth couldn't help opening slightly, letting out an ethereal gasp.

Just after switching to mecha mode, the Sky Blade mecha instantly soared to an overload of 18 G.

At this moment, the angle has been adjusted, and the mecha's twin-engine main engine system is pushing forward with all its might, bringing a reverse thrust, and the relative speed of the Sky Blade mecha has begun to decrease rapidly.

At the same time, it is getting closer and closer to the ISS space station.

The relative speed of the Sky Blade Mecha is almost Mach 10 faster than that of the ISS space station, and it must slow down in advance.

Minutes and seconds passed, and five minutes later, outside the ISS space station.

"It's fixed!" Liu Wei smiled: "Ness~~"

At this time, a screwdriver fell off and flew out in a weightless environment, Matt locked onto the screwdriver that wanted to fly away, turned around and stretched out his hand, but at the moment when he was about to grasp the screwdriver accurately, the palm of his hand forgot to hold it, and the screwdriver fled.

At this moment, Matt looked directly in front of him with a confused expression, and in the pitch-black cosmic space, an incomparably dazzling and even more dazzling beam of light suddenly appeared.

The light came into his eyes like a ray of light, but here, at this moment, it was too eerie.

"Matt, there's not much oxygen left, it's time to return to the capsule." Liu Wei picked up the space-specific maintenance tool bag and said, but he didn't see a response from the communicator, and immediately looked at him: "Matt......"

Liu Wei saw that the American looked confused, and at this moment, Matt's inexplicable words suddenly came into Liu Wei's communicator.

"Cybertrons? I don't know if it's the Decepticon camp, or the Autobot camp, damn it, the Autobots don't seem to be able to fly, that's the Decepticons, maybe they happened to pass by here on their way to invade Earth...... Houston, we have ...... No, humanity is in trouble! ”

"What are you muttering about? The communication was cut off two days ago, and Stone, a. Liu Wei was inexplicable, followed his line of sight, and the next moment Liu Wei's eyes suddenly widened, and he deleted his English on the spot and switched to his hometown accent:

"——!"

In a moment of astonishment, Liu Wei and Matt's communicators, as well as the astronauts in the core module, all heard a girl's voice.

"Hi~~! How are you all? I've been waiting a long time, I'm here to take you home! ”

……

(PS: Seeing the previous data description, some readers may wonder, isn't the distance between the Earth and the Moon 380,000 kilometers?) How here the space station flew more than 3.4 million kilometers. Theoretically, there is no absolutely stationary object in the universe, but according to different reference frames relative to rest or motion, the specific problem involves some physical quantities, not to mention, Zhao Ling gave a practical data, the information found, Chang'e probe flew for more than 100 hours and actually sailed more than 4 million kilometers before reaching the lunar orbit. ）
