Zhao Lan knew that it must have been the high-energy rays released by the hydrogen bomb explosion that damaged the wiring equipment of the maintenance cabin in an instant, causing the maintenance cabin to lose its energy supply, so the lighting equipment would be extinguished.

At this moment, the inside of the maintenance cabin fell into absolute darkness. It was a darkness as heavy as mercury, without the slightest light, and there was nothing to be seen.

There were no stars in the sky, and the attitude adjustment made before the ejection made the heaviest and opaque side of the maintenance compartment aimed at the sun, so the sun could not shine into the maintenance cabin.

At the moment when the maintenance cabin fell into darkness, Zhao Lan's heartbeat almost stopped. At this moment, Zhao Lan even had an illusion, Zhao Lan felt that he was floating freely in the ethereal cosmic space at this moment, and there was nothing else in this world except himself. The fear and loneliness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow suppressed Zhao Lan's heart, making Zhao Lan have an urge to go crazy and roar loudly with all his might.

But Zhao Lan finally suppressed this feeling. Zhao Lan said in a trembling voice: "Everyone...... Are you all right? ”

There was a burst of ** from Zhou Xiaoming in the darkness, and An Liya floated to Zhao Lan's side after Zhao Lan made a sound, and grabbed Zhao Lan with one hand. An Liya's hands were still steady and strong, without a little trembling.

"I'm fine, the keyboard isn't in good shape." Cruise replied, "The radiation damaged the energy supply module of the maintenance compartment, and the high heat melted the walls of the maintenance compartment a little, leaving a small gap in the maintenance compartment, and at this moment, the gas in the maintenance compartment is leaking to the outside......"

"Can you fix it?" Zhao Lan asked tremblingly.

"It's hard. I can only work inside the repair compartment. There is no way for us to get out of the cabin. I can give it a try, though. Tyrannosaurus. I have a lighter here. You help me hold it and give me the light, and I'll try to fix the electrical equipment. Cruise said.

Although the maintenance cabin has its own energy and oxygen circulation system, the reserves of these things are not much, only a very limited. And the burning of the flame consumes more oxygen reserves in addition. Not only that, but it can also cause a fire or even an explosion. In normal times, Zhao Lan and the others naturally would not choose to ignite, but at this time, in addition to using this lighter for lighting. There is no other way to do it, even if it takes a big risk.

Zhao Lan felt that An Liya's hand holding her was loose, so Zhao Lan knew that An Liya had left her and went to Cruise's side. Zhao Lan heard a noise coming from inside the maintenance cabin, and after a snap, the faint light of the lighter illuminated the small space inside the maintenance cabin.

Under the light of the lighter, Anria's face was half illuminated, half still hidden in the darkness, looking extremely strange. But the appearance of this light still made Zhao Lan breathe a big sigh of relief, and he felt that his heartbeat began to return to normal from a violent beat.

Pure darkness can cause a lot of psychological stress on people. This leads to a series of stress responses in the human body. Because in the long process of evolution, the rule that "darkness usually means danger" has been deeply engraved in the genes of human beings. The light of the lighter was faint though. But it is light after all, and as long as it is light, it can dispel the darkness and the fog of fear that hangs over people's hearts.

Zhao Lan stared at the blue and white lighter flame intently, and was unwilling to let go of his gaze for a moment. In this space environment, the flame of the lighter is not the usual upward strip, but at the moment it is spherical, the inside is blue, and the outside is yellow and white, which looks very beautiful.

The reason why the flame of the lighter is an upward strip is because of gravity. It is precisely because of gravity that the less dense hot air rises and the cold air falls, and the flow of air wraps around the shape of the flame, compressing it into long strips. There's no gravity here, so the hot air doesn't rise and naturally doesn't form airflow. The flame returned to its original form, which was spherical.

Under the reflection of this flame, Cruise first roughly checked the overall environment of the maintenance cabin, found the point of gas leakage, and then pasted the piece of rubber in his hand and fixed it, so the sound of the wind blowing that had always lingered in Zhao Lan's ears because of the flow of air disappeared.

In terms of strict maintenance manuals, Cruise's maintenance plan is clearly unqualified, not only unqualified, but even grossly wrong. But now is a special period after all, and the purpose of Zhao Lan and the others is not to rely on this maintenance cabin to survive here for a long time, their purpose is only to rely on this thing to support half an hour, in this case, there is no need for this maintenance plan to be too detailed.

After first plugging the air leak, Cruise began to inspect the damaged electrical equipment in the repair chamber in an attempt to restore the energy supply. Energy supply is also a top priority, without which air circulation purification systems cannot function and temperature maintenance systems cannot function. The most important point is that the radio transceiver equipment is also not usable.

Without an air circulation purification system, carbon dioxide will accumulate in the air as the human body continues to breathe, eventually causing carbon dioxide poisoning and taking the lives of Zhao Lan and several others. Without a temperature maintenance system, the heat will continue to escape from the maintenance cabin in the form of radiation and spread to the cold and boundless cosmic starry sky outside, and Zhao Lan and the others are at risk of freezing to death. There is no radio transceiver...... Zhao Lan and the others were unable to contact the military spacecraft that came later, and they were likely to ignore the small maintenance cabin they were in.

After all, this is a pitch-black and vast cosmic space, tens or even hundreds of kilometers away, who can detect a small maintenance cabin in the distance that is hidden by darkness and cannot send any signals? If Zhao Lan and the others did not take the initiative to call for help, the military spacecraft that came later would probably think that Zhao Lan and the others had been buried in the earth-shattering hydrogen bomb explosion, and would return to the ship and would never pay attention to Zhao Lan and the others again. That's when the real desperation happens. Zhao Lan and the others will truly incarnate as a cold stone in the universe, drifting in this sea of stars forever, drifting to the end of time and space.

Therefore, the restoration of the energy supply to the maintenance chamber is a top priority. Under the flickering light of the lighter, Zhao Lan saw Cruise's expression extremely solemn. Cruise floated around in the maintenance bay, looking here and there, but never got his hands on the restoration.

It took two or three minutes for Cruise to say, "Sorry, I can't fix the pod." It was so badly damaged that it had to be removed from the cabin and I could restore its power with the right tools. ”

Zhao Lan's heart became desperate. Zhao Lan knew that what Cruise said was equivalent to not saying it. Out-of-cabin operations? How is it possible to have the conditions for out-of-cabin operations now? Not to mention that there are no spacesuits and no suitable maintenance tools, the mere fact that there is no isolation cabin has blocked the possibility of out-of-cabin operations. The absence of the isolation chamber means that if Cruise wants to get out, he must open the hatch directly, and as soon as the hatch is opened, the gas in the maintenance compartment will leak out in a very short time, which will only make the people staying inside die faster.

Cruise's words caused silence in the maintenance compartment once again. Since Cruise can't even fix this thing, ...... Who else can do it?

Don't...... Do you really want to stay in this maintenance pod, die as the temperature drops and the carbon dioxide concentration slowly rises, and finally incarnate into a cold stone in the universe, and drift forever?

There has always been a voice in Zhao Lan's heart roaring: "No! I don't accept this result, I definitely don't accept it! We have gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers, and finally come to this point, as long as we can hold on for half an hour, as long as we can send a distress signal, we will be saved, how can we die at this time! This is absolutely not possible, absolutely not! ”

But...... So what to do?

An Liya sighed softly, and then said: "This is also a matter of no choice, the big deal is as good as if we didn't escape from the hydrogen bomb spaceship." Aren't we ready to give our lives before this mission? ”

Between An Liya's words, Zhou Xiaoming let out another ** sound that seemed meaningless. Zhao Lan floated to Zhou Xiaoming's side with his hand on the bulkhead, and called softly: "Keyboard, keyboard, are you okay?" ”

Zhou Xiaoming did not answer. Zhao Lan touched Zhou Xiaoming's forehead and found that it was amazingly hot. Zhao Lan's heart became more and more uncomfortable. Maybe it was because Zhou Xiaoming's body was relatively weak, or maybe it was because of other reasons, in the change of Fang Cai, Zhou Xiaoming was more seriously injured than others.

An Liya also floated here, glanced at Zhou Xiaoming, and said a little gloomily: "Keyboard, if you hold on for a while, your pain ...... It won't last long. ”

Obviously, the pain that An Liya said will not last long, not that Zhou Xiaoming will recover, but that ...... Everyone here will die. As long as you die, then the pain will naturally be gone.

Zhao Lan was unwilling to accept this result. Zhao Lan was in boundless pain and self-blame at the moment. But under this boundless pain and self-blame, a little flash suddenly appeared in the depths of Zhao Lan's heart. (To be continued......)
