Chapter 225: Astronauts in Disbelief
Europa, which has been lively for a few days due to the arrival of humans, but only for a few days, has now fallen into silence again, which only adds some artificial garbage to this "pure" planet.
Although these "garbage" were originally very sophisticated spaceships, they looked no different from "garbage" when they were flattened.
At the beginning, the rampaging giant octopus pressed over, and several astronauts present were almost scared to death, but probably because the difference in size was too large, the rampaging octopus did not take them seriously, but just destroyed the second boat and left.
It's just that in this situation, they are not good now.
The confined space is gone, so they can only stay in the spacesuit, but fortunately they have Mario, although this one's leg is injured, but he can still command others to work, as long as it is not too complicated, they can still handle it.
Landing Craft 1 was slightly less damaged, especially the toilet compartment, which became the only confined space that could be pressurized after they repaired the damage to the toilet bulkhead.
It's just that this toilet can't go to the toilet......
Well, a little winding, but literally.
Because their spaceship collapsed, the toilet was also horizontal, and they could at most use this space to change diapers.
But even this solves their biggest headache.
With a confined space, they can temporarily take off their spacesuits, change diapers or eat, after all, they can't open their helmets and masks anywhere else, as long as they do, they will be cold.
It's a small life, not a meal.
Taking turns to eat and take turns to go to the toilet actually makes the toilet rarely have free time.
"I feel like I'm going to die, and I probably won't be able to marry Jenny." Sidney, a black guy, leaned against the floor of the common room of the No. 1 landing craft and said distractedly.
"Sidney, don't talk nonsense, can you rest for a while, the more you talk, the more you waste oxygen!" Beth, who was sitting next to him, said angrily.
"I'm going to die, and I won't be allowed to speak, why am I so miserable, I wouldn't have participated in any bullshit Europa project if I knew I wouldn't have participated." The more Sidney talked, the more angry he became.
"Alright," said Gordon, who had been silent, "hasn't the command center already indicated that it is going to conduct a joint rescue operation with the Deep Space Group?" Space exploration is inherently very risky, this is what we knew before we set off, and what to complain about now. β
"Anyway, there's nothing to do while lying down, can't you complain?" The captain spoke, and Sidney said nothing, and closed his mouth after the last grumble.
At this time, the hatch of the toilet opened, and Liu Yi came out in a spacesuit and said to Mario who was leaning on the side: "Mario, I'm sorry, I occupied the toilet halfway, I'm done going to the toilet, it's time for you to eat, do you want me to help you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Mario said helplessly, "No, I don't have an appetite right now." β
He didn't expect that he would become the worst among this wave of astronauts when he repaired the spaceship, even Liu Yi, who faced the big octopus, was fine, he actually injured a leg, and he saw that this leg was about to die.
Without a suitable pressurized chamber large enough, the metal rod on his leg could not be removed, so the metal rod remained in his leg.
Even if the rescue spacecraft of the Deep Space Group is already on the way, he doesn't have much hope for his leg, he just wants to be able to return to his home planet safely, and not die halfway.
After Liu Yi came out, he sat next to them and continued to "raise the corpse", which can reduce energy consumption, and they really have nothing to do, the instruments in the spacecraft are in tatters, and the antennas that were temporarily built before can still be used, and they can communicate intermittently.
The hull of the landing craft No. 1 was tilted, and they were now leaning against the floor, and then they had their legs on the bulkheads, which could not be pressurized and were broken hollows on all sides, but it was much better than hanging directly on Europa.
At least the heart is comforting and full marks.
"Zizi-Gordon-Captain, I'll tell you a good-news-Zi-"
"Zi-NASA has reached an agreement with the Shen-Zi-Sky Group, and the rescue-Zi-aid spacecraft has set sail and is expected to reach Europa in a week."
"Please hold onβstop, persistence is victory, the broadcast is over, Z-"
Listening to Elsa on the Archangel intermittently speaking a long paragraph, Gordon subconsciously pressed the call button and replied.
"Understood, Z-"
But as soon as he replied, he felt wrong, "The rescue team has set off?" β
The others also realized the problem and immediately woke up.
"The rescue team is really here, it's great, I'm going home again to get married, dear Jenny, don't fall in love with anyone else!" Sidney was the first to shout excitedly.
"God, I'm saved, even if I lose a leg, I can live!" Mario cried.
Liu Yi next to him patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Mario, buddy, don't be too sad, no matter how you say that your injury was also caused during the mission, NASA will definitely replace you with a top-level intelligent prosthetic." β
And Beth, a female biologist, cries more than Mario, slapping her legs while crying, and she thinks that both of her legs have been pierced by metal rods.
Looking at his teammates who expressed their joy in different ways, Gordon knew that they didn't notice anything wrong with the matter, so he simply ignored them, and pressed the call button again and asked, "Elsa, are you sure the rescue ship will arrive within a week, Z-"
"Confirmed, Z-"
"How can there be such a fast ship, zi-"
"I don't know, zi-"
"From time to time, the command center is afraid that we will collapse, so I deliberately said this, zi-"
"Please believe in the motherland, Zi-"
"Elsa, could you please reconfirm the news with the command center, Z-"
"Alright, zi-"
The others also calmed down, and they heard Gordon and Elsa talking, and they instantly sobered up a lot.
They had been flying to Europa for over a year, and now you're telling me that it only takes a week to get to Europa, which is a little too believable.
In just over a year, the technology of Homestar has made a breakthrough like flying, what about playing?
For a while, everyone's excitement quickly cooled down, and they also had the same questions as Gordon.
Maybe the command center was afraid of their emotional collapse and deliberately deceived them.
Originally, they were all elite astronauts, how could this kind of lie command center say at the touch of a button, but the situation they are in now has made it difficult for them to use their shrewdness.
In this case, if someone tells them that one plus one equals four, they may agree.
Fortunately, Elsa quickly reconfirmed the news, and also brought a voice from Dong Qingchen, as the boss of the Deep Space Group and a global celebrity, he would definitely not lie to them.
Not to mention that these elites are about to collapse, with the current level of technology, Dong Qingchen's voice is simply not difficult at all, they were still suspicious just now, but now they clearly believe it.
Thankfully, this was true, or they might have died on Europa.
A week later, as the voice said, they saw another rectangular spot next to the Archangel spot.
"It's the rescue ship of the Deep Space Group, we have been saved!"
