As long as they live, no one in this world wants to die. Zhao Lan is like this, An Liya is like this, Zhou Xiaoming, and Cruise are the same. Even, this is true of anyone in this world. The previous decision to die with this spaceship was only because there was no other way out of desperation. After all, the future of human civilization is more important than one's own life. It would be perfect if you could have both fish and bear's paws, complete the task and save your own life.

Therefore, after Zhao Lan said the sentence "I have a way", Zhou Xiaoming and the three of them immediately stood up. An Liya even stepped in front of Zhao Lan in one step and held Zhao Lan's hand tightly: "Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan, what can you think of?" ”

Zhao Lan bit her lip tightly and tried to think in her mind. Fang Cai's flash of inspiration was just a thought, Zhao Lan had to grasp this idea, and then improve it, and finally form a perfect plan.

Zhao Lan thought hard as he said slowly: "The time difference between the pursuers and us is half an hour, that is, ...... Other words...... As long as we can get out of this ship early and find a way to survive in space for half an hour, then a military ship will find us, and they will definitely save us. ”

"But how can we survive in space for half an hour?" An Liya then asked.

Human beings will not die if they are briefly exposed to the cosmic vacuum, but this time limit is only a few seconds, and it exceeds these few seconds. The human body will be severely and irreversibly damaged. If you grow a little longer, you'll die. Turn into a cold stone in the universe. To survive in space for half an hour without any life-sustaining equipment...... It can't be, no one can do it.

Zhao Lan thought hard, firmly grasping the point of "leaving the spaceship to survive for half an hour", trying to get back the little aura that was fleeting. As Zhao Lan pondered, a complete plan gradually appeared in Zhao Lan's mind. Zhao Lan glanced at the timer, which showed a countdown of fifty-nine minutes, which was probably enough time to carry out this plan, so Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Naturally, it is impossible for us to survive in the vacuum of space for half an hour without any protective equipment...... But. But! The maintenance pod will last at least two hours, and we can avoid the explosion of the hydrogen bomb as long as we find a way to detach from the ship's hull and leave the spacecraft before the ship explodes! At that time, we will only need to drift in the universe and wait for the rescue of the military's combat spacecraft! ”

"This hydrogen bomb spacecraft was originally designed under my leadership, and I am familiar with every part of its construction, although I did not think about separating the maintenance bay from the ship's hull when it was built, but I thought about it carefully. I think it's perfectly achievable to detach it from the ship! Especially when we have a mechanical genius. ”

Zhao Lan said eagerly, and said his idea in one breath.

It's actually quite simple. But before, everyone had ignored the idea subconsciously. Because whether it is Zhao Lan or An Liya, the three of them all subconsciously see the spaceship as a whole. At this critical juncture of life and death, only Zhao Lan thought of this.

Zhou Xiaoming and An Liya's eyes lit up, and at the same time they put their eyes on Cruise: "How bald, can you do it?" ”

Cruise thought nervously for a while, and then said at the same speed: "There are two problems with your idea, first, this hydrogen bomb spacecraft is not a special manned spacecraft, it does not have a complete life support system on it, and only this maintenance cabin can maintain our survival, so how can we carry out construction outside the maintenance cabin?" After all, we are separating the maintenance compartment from the hull, and it is impossible to do this without external construction. ”

"Second, even if we succeed in separating the maintenance compartment from the hull, where does the power come from? Don't forget, at this moment, the maintenance module and this spacecraft have the same direction of movement and speed, if there is no additional propulsion equipment, even if it separates from the hull, it will follow the ship, and it will inevitably be affected by the hydrogen bomb, so there is no point in separating the maintenance module. ”

Cruise's mind is sharp. The moment Zhao Lan proposed this idea, Cruise thought of these two questions. Zhao Lan thought for a moment, and also began to answer at a very fast pace: "The first question is easy to solve, you must know that there is no need for us to separate the entire maintenance cabin at all, we can completely separate only one part of the maintenance cabin, such as the room we are staying in now." In this case, we are working inside the maintenance compartment and do not need to go outside the maintenance cabin. ”

"The second point is about power...... Cruise, this is up to you to solve. You'll have to look inside the maintenance bay to see if there's any tool you can use to make a thruster out. ”

Cruise thought for a moment, then immediately said, "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”

"That's good." Zhao Lan then said: "Cruise, I am familiar with the structure of the spaceship, I will first explain to you its general structure and draw a sketch for you, Zhou Xiaoming, An Liya, the two of you check the sealing performance of the room we are staying in, if its sealing performance is not enough, you find something to repair it." ”

Zhao Lan glanced at the timer again, and found that there were only fifty-six minutes left, so he didn't say more, immediately grabbed the paintbrush, hurriedly drew a sketch, and took Cruise to begin to understand the general structure of the spaceship's maintenance cabin, while Zhou Xiaoming and An Liya immediately began to check the sealing performance of this room.

Everyone understands what this operation means. The dwindling time was like a talisman of death, and people didn't dare to relax at all. Everyone began to get busy and began to fight for the continuation of their lives.

Cruise got to work as soon as he had a general understanding of the repair bay and the structure of the ship's hull in the area. There are all kinds of tools in the maintenance cabin, and these tools come into play. Cruise was seen unscrewing a screw from here, removing a cover from there, or sawing off a steel post from here...... Cruise's actions seemed completely disorganized and unrelated to each other, but Zhao Lan knew that Cruise must have a very complete action plan in his head directing his movements.

After being busy for about ten minutes, after Cruise sawed off the last steel column, Zhao Lan suddenly felt the room he was in vibrate. Cruise wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I've managed to separate this room from the ship's hull. ”

Zhao Lan couldn't help but shout: "Good job!" Now it's time to get out of the powertrain problem, so let's look around and see if you can find something that can be used to make thrusters? ”

Cruise shook his head: "It's not realistic to make a thruster right now. Not to mention that there are not enough tools, and we don't have that much time left. I just thought about it, and I thought, it's better for us to make a catapult. ”

"Catapult?" Zhao Lan repeated the word.

Cruise nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's a catapult." I can make a trap that we're all in the room and we trigger it and it will eject our room. But I can't guarantee the power of the catapult, and the power it gives us will allow us to get enough distance away from the ship before it explodes...... It depends on the will of God. ”

"It's better to have hope than to wait for death like this." Zhao Lan exclaimed, "Then what are you waiting for? ”

Cruise nodded, grabbed a bunch of oddly shaped tools and materials, and began to work on them. Zhao Lan didn't understand what Cruise was doing at all, and what kind of relationship these things he was holding had with the catapult, but looking at Cruise's serious appearance, he thought that this thing should be very useful.

Nearly twenty minutes passed in this busyness. After finally forming the object, Cruise took a thick spring and pressed it hard, trying to squash it, but even with all the strength of his body, the spring still changed slightly.

Cruise looked at Ann Liya for help, and Ann Ria walked over, put the spring between her two hands, and pressed it lightly with both hands, and the spring was compressed to the extreme. An Liya asked, "Is that so?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it." Cruise shouted, "Quick, put it here." ”

Ann Liya put the spring into the groove, and then, under the command of Cruise, installed the catapult in the designated place, and Cruise took out a long rope, one end of which was tied to a switch of the catapult, and the other end was tied to the hatch of the room.

"Are you ready?" "As soon as I close this hatch, the room will be completely sealed, and the trap will be triggered, and the catapult will eject us." ”

Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaoming each found a place to fix themselves, and An Liya grabbed Cruise in front of the hatch with one hand while fixing herself. Once all three were ready, Cruise grabbed the hatch and slammed it shut. (To be continued......)
