Chapter 2 Departure from Space 8
Time is fast passing, and it has been 8 hours since the rescue team set off. Xingtian and Ares had been waiting in the damaged warplane, while the rescue team pinpointed the two through the detector.
As the distance got closer, the rescue team finally made contact with them. Xing Tian also reported to the rescue team: We can still support 2 hours and 5 minutes in the space combat suit, the combat suit is working normally, the spare battery and oxygen generator are in good condition, the original battery and oxygen generator of the combat suit are still in use, I still have 600 ml of drinking water and 400 ml of Ares left, and we are currently in good physical condition and have no injuries.
The cockpit of the fighter was hit by the impact, the nacelle was deformed, the control system failed, and the fighter was unable to perform any operation. The mission target satellite has been recovered, and the satellite has been confirmed to be in good condition and the report has been completed.
Dr. Aron said to them: Stay as you are and wait for the rescue team to arrive, don't do anything else, we will be in your star field in 30 minutes, there are still 45 minutes before the window opens, we have enough time to rescue, you can just be patient.
After speaking, Dr. Aaron let out a long sigh of relief, and the nerves that had been tense were also slightly relaxed. The rescue team finally arrived at the star field where Xingtian was located, and the approach window had been opened, and when the rescue team approached Xingtian, the rescue team's early warning radar began to warn, and the space junk had also approached again.
Dr. Aaron decisively terminated the rescue, because the Xingtian fighter had deviated from the orbit of the space junk at that time, so they were not harmed again, and the space junk seemed to have become an insurmountable gap between them and the rescue team.
Again people's hearts are raised to the throat. Ares said to Xingtian: Xingtian, what should I do? The next window will have to wait 90 minutes, and our combat suit battery will not be able to support that time, just 5 minutes short!
Ares calms your mind, which will increase oxygen consumption. The rescue team is right in front of us, what are you afraid of, don't we still have spare batteries and oxygen generators?
We'll just replace it when the time comes. Xing Tian said calmly. In the space shuttle, Dr. Aron is working with other rescuers to make intense calculations through the computer, and the final result is that the rescue team needs to drive the space shuttle to approach Xingtian 10 minutes before the window opens, and quickly enter when the window is opened, complete the traction of the fighter, break it out of the earth's orbit, and reach the safe star field, and then open the cockpit by the fighter plane to let the two enter the fighter.
This completes the rescue, and the damaged No. 1 test fighter can also be recovered along with the recovered satellite.
The most important thing is that they only have 5 minutes to tow and fix and then leave the earth's orbit to reach a safe star field, because 5 minutes after the window is opened, space junk just passes through the star field where they are located, and it is only this short 5 minutes to leave them safely.
These 5 minutes were also a moment of life and death, and Dr. Aaron contacted Xingtian again to describe Xingtian's current situation in detail, and explained the traction operation step by step.
And let Xingtian and Ares each repeat it twice, and only after making sure that it was correct, they cut off contact. Dr. Aron asked the rescuers to prepare for the towing work, and the two fighters responsible for receiving the two Xingtian moved directly to the receiving position.
The rest of the fighters followed the space shuttle to carry out the towing operation. Ten minutes later, the space shuttle and all three warplanes arrived at their intended positions, waiting for the window to come again.
The 80 minutes passed in everyone's torment, and the 10 minutes before the upcoming window were about to arrive.
Dr. Aaron gave the order to the rescue team and Xingtian at the same time to start the rescue, and everyone concentrated on hoping to complete the rescue operation at one time.
10 minutes before the opening of the entry window, all units should pay attention to the fact that the shuttle and accompanying fighters are ready to enter, and the members of the traction team are in place to prepare for the towing operation.
At the same time, the accompanying fighters turned on the near and far radars, and paid close attention to the approach of space junk. One command after another was issued by Dr. Aaron, who paid close attention to the real-time footage transmitted from the command screen as he issued the command, and the timer in his hand was constantly raised in front of him to confirm the time.
Just as everything was going according to plan, Xingtian and Ares's combat uniforms began to call the police one after another.
As a result of the synchronous communication, the members of the rescue team also heard the alarm. The battery energy of the alarm, alarm, and combat suit will be exhausted after 5 minutes, and the oxygen generator will be exhausted after 10 minutes.
After hearing the alarm, Dr. Aaron immediately broadcast to all the personnel: The rescuers continue to carry out the rescue operation according to the plan, and the two of you will immediately replace the backup batteries and oxygen generators.
Xingtian and Ares replied: Understood, replace the spare batteries and oxygen generators of the combat uniforms. Xingtian and Ares opened the toolbox for the battery and oxygen generator for the equipment, Xingtian took out one of the sets for Ares to replace, and after confirming the successful installation, he said to Ares: Check the combat uniform, report the data.
The Ares suit is in good working order, with 12 hours of battery and 11 hours of oxygen in its current state.
Ares reported. After receiving the report, Xingtian put the batteries and oxygen concentrators replaced by Ares's combat suit back into the tool box, and at the same time took out another set and began to replace it for himself.
Xing Tian opened the combat uniform inspection after the change, and his heart immediately rose to his throat after seeing the data.
After the reconfirmation, Xingtian reported to the rescue team that the replacement of spare batteries and oxygen generators in Xingtian's combat uniform was completed, and the power in the current state could be maintained for 12 hours, and the oxygen supply would be 25 minutes.
What the? Duplicate reporting. Dr. Aron said. After the replacement of spare batteries and oxygen generators in the combat uniforms, the power can be maintained for 12 hours and the oxygen supply can be supplied for 25 minutes in the current state.
Xingtian reported again. Re-check the oxygen generator, push the oxygen generator box into the oxygen generator compartment, and do not pull out the oxygen generator.
Dr. Aron said. The position of the oxygen generator is checked, and the system shows that the oxygen generator can be maintained for 25 minutes after operation.
Xingtian's head was already sweating, and Dr. Aron was anxious.
