The next morning, Mike knocked on their door. Mike lives in the dorm room on the other side, across the gym from them.

"Do you want breakfast? Toast and coffee, and eggs? ”

"Wow! You want everything you want! ”

"Okay."

Mike cooks Fang Wenjing and Xiaoliu with a burst of happiness.

"Wow, I haven't had coffee or eggs in almost a year!" She felt like she could eat three more servings.

"Haha, you can eat every day after it's okay."

"Really, are your rations enough?"

"Anyway, you won't be able to stay for long, so you'll be fine for a few days. I would have ordered more every time. ”

"Why? Do you have a storage fetish? ”

"Because, you know," Mike cut a piece of omelette and put it in his mouth, "if there's any big turmoil on the planet, I can't care about it, and the political situation has been unstable lately, so I need to save a little more, maybe one day the shuttle will be shut down." ”

"Wow! So what do you do! ”

"Hey, it's just a possibility, generally speaking, Carolet won't ignore the players."

"Who is Cairola?" She asked.

"My boss, the de facto at the helm of NASA."

"Wow, it's a woman!"

"Yes, she is an expert in space dynamics and a member of the building of the lunar space station. Very famous, you should have heard of it? ”

"Well, I'm not a professional, haven't heard of it."

"Okay." Mike could only shrug.

"What, I'm full, how will I arrange it later?"

"I'm going to give the station an initial velocity to push you out of orbit, and then you can fall by gravity." Mike looked at her and looked at Little Liu.

"When it's almost down, open the umbrella. That's it. ”

"How tall is it?"

"If you can't get it, you can open it a little higher, that is, it will fall more slowly. Let's open at a height of 1,000 meters. ”

"How do you control the landing point? What if we fall down and we are far apart? ”

"No, I'll just give you the speed to the ground, you'll land near where you came, and the only lateral speed that can be generated is the wind. The drop will not be more than two kilometers. ”

"Wow... You're so skilled! ”

"Huh?" Mike chewed on the last bite of bread and looked at her a little confused.

Alas, if you are a Chinese silk, you can't understand anything, it's so boring. She had no choice but to smile: "It's okay, it's okay, let's start right away!" ”

Mike got up and packed up his dishes and threw them in the kitchen sink, where he lived like in any American home on Earth, with no need to adjust gravity, no need to pay attention to sealing, all-weather water and oxygen supply, diversified food sources, and stable logistics.

She finally realized that although her country seems to have some black technology, and it seems that it is not inferior to others in every aspect of the facilities, there is no complete set of solutions and people-oriented technical concepts, which makes the living conditions of astronauts in the two countries far from each other.

Alas, she sighed a little uncomfortably at the thought of this.

Xiao Liu noticed it rarely, and approached her and asked, "Mr. Fang, are you uncomfortable?" ”

It's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable.

She smiled bitterly, no, let's go, it's going to be another parting of life and death.

Xiao Liu smiled: "It's going to be fine, Mr. Fang has his own nature." ”

Yo, it's really rare, Xiaoliu will still be a sycophant.

I guess I learned it from a TV series.

If he and Xiao Wu go to a normal society, they should be able to mix well if they are hardworking and willing to work hard and can make sycophants.

As he spoke, Mike brought two large mats from the basement, which was actually downstairs.

"This is your parachute."

"Huh? Why like diapers? Shouldn't they all be small school bags? ”

"This is going to be covered in the tail of the rocket, I'll teach you, put on a spacesuit."

"Okay."

Mike hooked the four corners of a cushion to the inside of the rocket's tail and four small hooks, and the hooks in this place were not pointed out by others, and he didn't know at all.

"You take this pull ring, pull it open and open the umbrella."

"How do I know how far from the ground I am?"

"This, this readout can show the current speed and the distance to the obstacle ahead." Mike tapped on a small display across the driver's seat. "Hey, there's no power, wait I'll change the battery for you."

“-。 -”

After getting ready, she and Xiaoliu sat in the rocket again.

"Don't forget this," Mike tossed a small backpack from inside.

"What is this?"

"Anti-stress agent, you can't bring it back if you don't bring it back."

"Oh! Thank you"

"I'll launch your rocket now, and I'll shoot Liu later."

"Now that the Martian surface wind is 1-2, I'm going to have your head on Base Alpha now."

"Eh, don't report it like that, just say it when you're about to, I'm nervous about you."

"Launch!"

The bridge and the rocket interface turned, and with a "click", she felt the rocket and the bridge disengage.

"It's over? Launched? ”

"Yes, you're already sailing independently, I'm going to adjust the position of the arrow for six now......"

The feeling of "............" is amazing......

With such an understatement of "click", it is out of the station of life...... This feeling... It's like getting an HIV-positive report......

It doesn't seem to be the same as the last second, but ...... The difference will ...... Gradually increase ......

There is a sense of powerlessness that is fading away...... It's like falling in love and being dumped......

It is also like a terminally ill patient in the ICU who witnesses the last trace of life away from his sick body at the last moment of his life......

After floating like this for more than ten seconds, she saw that Xiao Liu's rocket had also detached from the space station.

And then she has an acceleration.

It starts slowly and gradually gets faster, although the acceleration is only 1/3 of that of the Earth.

The density of the Martian atmosphere is only one percent that of the Earth, so the rocket runs very smoothly, and there is no vibration or heat caused by friction at all.

Now the speed is 28 meters per second, and there are still 15 kilometers above the ground.

12 km

10 km

8 km

The head is severely congested, and the eyes gradually lose sight. She didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and ripped off the parachute.

Suddenly, the rocket made a 180-degree U-turn.

There was a pause and then continued to fall, though the speed could be felt to slow down.

She closed her eyes and adjusted for a while, still dizzy.

After a while, I felt a heavy impact, and then a toppling.

"Ouch!" She didn't grasp it and was thrown into the top of the rocket.

Then I heard the sound of "zizi" air flow.

"Did you land? I'm showing you no speed. Mike's voice came.

"Yes, I, my helmet seems to be broken."

A terrifying cold snap rushed through the crack in the top of her head to her cheeks, and she hurriedly covered the top of her head with her left hand, and ran her right hand in her trouser pocket to fumble with the spacesuit leak tape that everyone carried.

"Oh! Is it serious? Can it be patched? ”

She felt for the tape, quickly ripped it off and stuck it on the helmet.

The air leak was gone, and she raised her hand to look at the oxygen pressure, and whew, okay, 18.

"It's okay, it's glued."

Uh, it seems that you can't rip the tape off that way...... She held her hands up and tried for a while, but her hands were sore and didn't rip them off.

…… Is it only for Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu to help......

I'm a commander, but I live like a comedian every day, why!?

"Quiet, uh, to tell you something."

"What?"

"Your helmet is broken, you can't lift off with a rocket anymore."

"Can't you make it up?"

"It's not good to make it up, it's crushed when the pressure is high."

god damn it!!!!!
