Chapter 231: Fuel Leak

The long journey continued, and every time Wei Feng woke up, in addition to doing some daily spaceship maintenance work, he had one more thing, that is, looking at the stars in the distance, just watching quietly, and doing nothing but staring.

Wei Feng would think of many things in his mind, sometimes he would think of the war going on in the solar system, and sometimes he would think of the Time Traveler team. But these thoughts usually end with a sigh. Wei Feng is still worried about the solar system and human civilization, but Wei Feng knows that no one in human civilization will think about himself anymore except for the people in the time traveler team. He has been completely abandoned by human civilization.

In the cycle of sleeping and waking up again and again, the luminosity of the sun diminished little by little, and a star in the opposite direction of the sun became the brightest star Wei Feng had ever seen.

Wei Feng knew that that star was the destination of his voyage. It looks like a star, but it's actually two. They are two stars orbiting each other, and because they are so close to each other, it is impossible to distinguish them from Wei Feng's position. So their rays coincided and entered Wei Feng's eyes together, becoming the same star.

Not far from this star, there is an additional star that has never appeared before. It was very dim, it looked very inconspicuous, and even in this empty and clear cosmic space, without any obstruction or scattering, Wei Feng had to squint his eyes to see it.

It is Proxima Centauri, also known as Alpha Centauri C, and the other two stars are named Alpha Centauri A and B, respectively. Star C is the smallest, closest to the Sun, and the faintest star in the South Gate two-star system. When it was on Earth, its rays merged with the stars A and B. Only one star could be seen on Earth, and now, more than two light-years after Wei Feng's journey, it finally broke away from the light of stars A and B and had its own independent image.

"It's been more than two hundred years...... Wei Feng sighed and stopped staring. Continue to get into the busy work.

Every time he woke up, Wei Feng had to work a little more than the last time. Because the frequency of breakdowns of the Xinghai spacecraft is becoming more and more frequent, there are more and more places that need to be repaired and maintained by Weifeng. This made Wei Feng a little worried in his heart, because Wei Feng knew that there was still a long journey of more than seven hundred years waiting for him in the future, and Wei Feng was not sure if the Xinghai spacecraft would be able to support it until that time.

After leaving the solar system, the Xinghai spacecraft is Wei Feng's only home. If even this home is lost...... Wei Feng could only leave his life in this vast and void dark universe and turn it into a cold stone.

Every time Wei Feng went into hibernation, he was worried about whether he would wake up smoothly. Because there are so many uncertainties, Wei Feng doesn't know when there will be a fatal failure in the spaceship, and this failure is likely to cause him to sleep forever. There was no chance to wake up again.

After Wei Feng entered the hibernation with some apprehension, the Star Ocean spaceship once again regained its darkness and silence. Time is still passing silently, I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know what time it is, but there was a sudden movement in the tail of the Xinghai spacecraft that was quietly levitating.

A tiny flash of light flashed at the tail of the ship, and after the flash, a hole appeared almost a meter in diameter. Then, a large amount of gas ejected from the hole. As the Xinghai spacecraft rotated around the space, it continued to orbit, and then quickly faded and thinned. Eventually, it disappeared without a trace in space.

With the appearance of this hole, the entire Star Ocean spaceship boiled in an instant. Inside the ship, countless gauges began to shake, and the red warning lights began to flash rapidly. Out of sight, countless streams of data are generated from sensors installed throughout the spacecraft, and then quickly relayed along the communication link to a central computer at the ship's core.

It was also from this moment that the lighting equipment in the Star Ocean spacecraft was turned on instantly. Then the life-sustaining system was turned on, the temperature control equipment was turned on, and the sleeping hibernation chamber of Weifeng was also pushed out of the ultra-low temperature equipment.

The awakening procedure has begun. After the program was executed, the hibernation hatch opened, and Wei Feng slowly opened his eyes.

After a moment of distraction. Wei Feng regained consciousness. So Wei Feng said to the empty hibernation room: "Ye Luo, has ten years come?" ”

After asking this question, Wei Feng sensed that something was wrong. There seemed to be a tense and solemn atmosphere in the air, and some very sharp voices were faintly heard in my ears.

"What happened? Report back to me immediately. Wei Feng said.

"Captain, we're in trouble." Ye Luo's voice remained calm, but the speed of his speech was much faster, "An instrument in cabin A of the energy chamber malfunctioned due to aging, and the failure caused the pressure imbalance of the fusion reactor to explode, and the hull structure was slightly damaged, and the explosion blew through the partition between compartment A and chamber B, causing the reserve fuel to be directly exposed to the interstellar environment. The fuel is leaking fast, and although I have taken some emergency measures, they are not enough to completely stop the leak. ”

Although Wei Feng's body was still weak at the moment, Wei Feng's thoughts were not affected. After listening to Ye Luo's report, Wei Feng's brows furrowed at this moment: "Explosion? Fuel leaks? ”

"Yes, that's exactly why I woke you up urgently." Ye Luo said, "I don't have the ability to deal with this emergency situation alone. ”

"Immediately...... Show me the repair plan right away, and I'll fix it. Wei Feng said, and climbed out of the hibernation pod with all his might, but fell to the ground because of his unsteady steps. Wei Feng almost fainted after this fall, but Wei Feng finally gritted his teeth and resisted the vertigo without losing consciousness.

Wei Feng knew how urgent the situation was at the moment. Wei Feng is very familiar with the hull structure of the Xinghai spacecraft, and knows that cabin A is the fuel tank responsible for supplying the standing fusion reactor, which is the reactor that has been working and provides uninterrupted energy for the entire spacecraft. Because even if Wei Feng enters hibernation, there are always some instruments in the spacecraft, such as central computers, such as monitoring sensors, such as positioning instruments, such as orbit fine-tuning thrusters and other equipment that cannot be turned off, which requires that there must be a fusion reactor working at all times to provide energy.

Because it's always working, it has the highest probability of failure. Every time I woke up, Weifeng would focus on the maintenance of the standing fusion reactor, but unexpectedly, it eventually failed.

If it was just the fusion reactor failure, it would have been nothing, but the most critical thing was that it blew through the barrier between the A and B compartments of the energy chamber, and blew up the hull, causing a fuel leak in the A and B compartments. There is not much energy reserve in cabin A, but cabin B is one of the main energy storage warehouses, and if even half of the fuel in cabin B leaks, this is an unacceptable consequence for Weifeng.

In the vastness of space, fuel is everything. It means power, it means light, it means food, it means air and water...... It means life.

"Captain, I must warn you in advance that your current physical condition is not suitable for maintenance duties." Ye Luo said, "According to my judgment of your body, you will have to rest for at least five hours before you have the ability to deal with this accident. ”

"Five hours?" Wei Feng's tone became serious: "After five hours, how much fuel will leak?" ”

"Wait until you've fixed it, and it's ...... At least 70% will be leaked. Ye Luo replied.

"Don't talk about Ye Luo, immediately prepare a spacesuit for me, prepare a maintenance plan, and immediately take out the tools needed for maintenance from the warehouse. I understand my own situation, and you don't have to worry about me. Wei Feng said categorically.

Wei Feng knew that the fuel reserves on the Xinghai spacecraft were already limited, and if the fuel in cabin B leaked seventy percent, he would not have enough fuel to return to Earth.

"I need to warn you of the risks of this practice. With your current physical condition, if you go on a maintenance mission, you will have an 80% chance of making a mistake. And your mistakes are likely to make things worse. Ye Luo said, "Excuse me...... Are you really sure you want to go on a repair job now? ”

"Of course I want to go." Wei Feng said, "Ye Luo, although you are already very intelligent, you still don't understand the importance of spiritual power to a person. I'm not in good shape, but ...... You know what, we have no choice and no way back. ”

"Human civilization has abandoned us, we are already orphans without a home, who can we rely on except for our own hard work?" Wei Feng continued to say quietly, "So...... We have to succeed in this maintenance mission, because if we fail, we will lose everything. ”

Ye Luo said, "Okay captain, I have prepared the tools you need for you according to your instructions. Meantime...... I also believe that you will succeed, Captain. Good luck to us. (To be continued......)
