Chapter 280 [Press Conference, Fryer!] 】
“holyShit!!”
The four astronauts in the core module all came out of their sleeping bags with a hula and came to the small window on the left, where the four heads came together in a cross shape, and the space was weightless anyway, and the direction for them depended on the frame of reference in their respective eyes.
They are all attracted by the light of the outside world, and they must say something, if you want to say that the light guide engine is not good, it is too high-profile, and the sparks of the engine vent are lightning, as if they are afraid that others will not know its existence.
However, the Sky Blade fighter said very calmly: as long as I fly fast enough, the rocket can't catch up, sparks and lightning all the way, and taunt all the way.
The six astronauts were all blindfolded by the Sky Blade Mecha suspended near the space station, and Hector, who was lying on the window of the core module, couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously: "Guys, who will give an explanation?" ”
Hawke explained dumbfoundedly: "This is not scientific......"
Outside the space station, Liu Wei, who was sluggish, suddenly shrank his pupils, and instantly stared at the red on the cantilever of the mecha that suddenly appeared in front of him, which was a bright red flag.
After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, Liu Wei's whole body couldn't stop trembling with excitement, and he couldn't help but have a trace of tears.
Liu Weiqiang endured the emotions in his heart, stood outside the space capsule and solemnly saluted the celestial mecha, and responded in the standard native language on the public channel:
"I am an astronaut of the current Chinese Astronaut Brigade, Liu Wei."
After a while, the celestial mecha returned a military salute under the gaze of Liu Wei and five other foreign astronauts, and responded on the public channel: "I am a ...... Angemmm...... I'm sorry I can't report myself, but I'm here to pick you up and bring you back to Earth. ”
Liu Wei showed a long-lost smile and nodded back: "Understood!" ”
Hector hugged his head in shock, and his expression was extremely exaggerated: "Even buy Gade, this is a Chinese mecha?" Chinese organic mecha? Chinese organic mecha? ”
Hofsky: "We're not blind, so don't shout!" ”
After a long time, the astronauts' remaining oxygen made an alarm, which finally woke Matt and Liu Wei from the shock, and immediately hurriedly entered the space capsule.
The others finally recovered from the shock.
Hofsky was still lying at the window of the capsule, "This is definitely the most exciting moment in 78 hours, I can't believe that I can be saved after 78 hours of wandering in space for more than 300,000 kilometers away from the earth, and I am ready to bury myself in the stars." ”
At this moment, the German Hawke suddenly said: "Sorry, I don't mean to offend, but I wonder how such a small mecha can push a space station that still has a mass of more than a hundred tons?" ”
When Mona in the Heavenly Blade Mecha heard this, she immediately responded, "What is this? Even if it's a full space station, I can tow it back to Earth. ”
Hawke was shocked: "How is this possible? ”
Hector, who was still excited, immediately glanced at the German Hawke, and complained with his hands dancing: "Oh ho~~ Please man, a living sci-fi explosion mecha has appeared in front of us and come to save us, even if it can push the space station, what is unacceptable?" …… Well? ”
Hawke was speechless for a moment.
But after a while, Hawke said: "There is another problem, there is only one meal left in the capsule, or can we only eat half full, even if the space station can go back, we can't hold on, it will take at least ten days to successfully return to the earth's orbit, and we will eventually starve to death." ”
As soon as these words came out, Hector was stunned.
Oh, yes!
You have to go around the Earth-Moon system for most of the time to return to Earth.
Ten days?
Without food supplements, I can't last a day.
At this time, Mona's voice came into the space station: "It takes 11 days to return in the traditional way, but three days is enough in a simple and crude way, don't worry, all the potential problems have been considered and dealt with before the rescue operation is launched, I have brought enough food supplies, although it is not delicious, but it can replenish your energy and nutritional consumption, hurry up and send someone out to extract the supplies." ”
Outside the space station, I saw a sealed supply box popping out of one of the weapons compartment of the Celestial Mecha, of course, the shape of the geometry was cylindrical.
As the first aerospace fighter in human history, the first item mounted on the weapon compartment was not ammunition, but food, which even Gu Cheng did not expect.
The first mission, not a combat mission, but a rescue mission, was also unexpected.
Hector suddenly looked back at Hawke: "OK, stereotypical prickly German, what else do you have to raise the bar?" ”
Hawke smiled and said, "Go back to Earth!" ”
At the same time, Matt refills the spacesuit with oxygen and exits the capsule again, bringing the floating supply crate back into the capsule.
Hofsky couldn't wait to open the supply box, and when he saw that it was full of compressed biscuits, he immediately felt a little regretful.
But it's satisfying to be able to eat, even if you want to bring a big meal up, you can't eat it when you send it over, it will definitely become a round biscuit, without him, the overload of the fighter in acceleration is too terrifying, and the duration is long enough.
These compressed biscuits brought with me were harder than when they were on the ground, because they were further compressed.
Half an hour later, everyone had a full meal, even the compressed biscuits were eaten with relish, and after resting for about ten minutes, after the power was restored, the temperature in the cabin had also warmed up, and it was now a very comfortable temperature.
Six spacesuits put on load-resistant spacesuits and fastened their seat belts.
It's finally time to go home!
Outside the space station, Mona drove the celestial mecha to the other end of the space station, and after finding a suitable force fulcrum, the two cantilever arms grabbed the force fulcrum, and the main engine began to run, immediately generating a force opposite to the space station's flight direction.
The six astronauts inside the space station all showed extremely uncomfortable expressions, they were suffering from 9 G overload values at the moment, and the overload gradually weakened as time passed.
Although astronauts can withstand 9G or even higher overloads, there is a time limit, usually only a few seconds, and no one can withstand it for a long time.
So it continues to reduce and cushion the body's endurance.
Eventually, the speed of the space station gradually decreased from 12.7 km/s to a relative speed of 0 with a continuous payload of 4G.
Finally, the painful moment is over for a while, but after resting for a while, I will continue to bear it after readjusting.
The next step is acceleration.
The intelligent system inside the Celestial Mecha made a broadcast, and Mona immediately controlled the Celestial Blade Mecha to accelerate, pushing the space station to start accelerating, and the astronauts inside entered a painful overload moment again.
Eventually, it accelerated to a relative speed of Mach 42 before it stopped, and the Sky Blade turned off its engine system.
Both the Celestial Blade and the space station will continue to fly to Earth at this speed and follow a modified trajectory, where they will be recaptured by gravity in about three days.
At the same time, half an hour later, the earth was not ready for the next breaking news that shook the world.
From the moment it was decided to send the Sky Blade 1 to rescue the six astronauts, the "Sky Blade Project" was destined to be exposed in advance, so the superiors did not intend to hide it, but simply made it public to the world, which is also an unparalleled form of global strategic deterrence.
……
In North America, at about 15 p.m. Eastern time, NASA held an impromptu press conference.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine announced to the more than 200 mainstream media from around the world in attendance: "Just twenty minutes ago, we received an information resource sharing from Huaguo Space Center, and Huaguo's Queqiao relay satellite in lunar orbit sent exciting information. ”
"All six astronauts are still alive and on their way back to Earth with the ISS space station, and are expected to be captured by gravity in 71.5 hours and transferred to the Huaguo Tianzhou space station, which is currently the only one in orbit."
"In the past 22 hours, when we were desperate, it was Huaguo's resolute help at a critical moment that saved the lives of six astronauts and avoided another major space disaster in human history."
The NASA administrator's words fell, and the press conference hall suddenly fell into a dead silence, as if a pin drop could be heard, and even the camera shutter of those present forgot to press it.
But this quiet atmosphere only lasted for two seconds, and after two seconds, it was immediately drowned out by the frantic questions of all the reporters, and the NASA press conference hall was like a fryer.
