Chapter 2 Departure from Space 7. Twenty-four Hours of Horror 2
Xing Tian carefully observed the surroundings after dispelling the drowsiness, and opened the search range of the small detector that came with the combat suit to the maximum, and the detector scanning was much more reliable than the naked eye.
But there is a serious problem that the maximum power of the detector will lead to excessive power use of the combat suit, Xingtian carefully calculated, if the detector has been turned on to the maximum range of scanning combat clothing plus backup batteries can support up to 46 hours.
After 46 hours, the system will stop working, but without turning on the detector, he and Ares will be completely unguarded, which is too dangerous.
After careful consideration, Xingtian decided to keep turning on the detector to scan the maximum range, and when Ares woke up, he asked him to turn on the detector of the combat suit, and they turned on it alternately, so that the working time of the combat suit could be extended.
The two of them waited in the infinite space. In the meantime, Athena City is already busy, and Dr. Aron is organizing a rescue team as quickly as possible.
Xingtian was soon received by the base after their distress signal was issued, and the rescue team was quickly determined, the rescue team of 13 people was personally led by Dr. Aaron, in addition to Dr. Aaron and the shuttle pilot 2 doctors, 4 nurses, and 2 early warning satellite experts were also casual at the same time, they wanted to see if they could bring back the central star they recovered at the same time as this rescue, after all, Xingtian and Ares had made such a big effort if they didn't recover this satellite, it would be too much to say, This required a test fighter in order to recover the satellite, which added 2 more pilots and a fighter.
However, there is a serious problem, that is, there is no equipment in the existing spacecraft that can connect the two of them to the space shuttle in space.
In the end, Dr. Aaron decided to send two fighters of the same model as the No. 1 test fighter in addition to the space shuttle and the fighter plane that recovered the satellite, each piloted by a pilot, and after reaching the rescue area, the fighter pilot opened the cockpit canopy to allow Xingtian and Ares to enter one fighter respectively.
This is the only way to save them under the existing conditions. In this way, the rescue team was officially formed.
The final personnel were determined to be 17 people, 1 space shuttle, and 3 fighters. Dr. Aron asked the personnel to prepare the equipment in the shortest possible time, and the ground crew also carried out refueling and equipment inspections on the space shuttle and three warplanes they needed to use.
Everyone is preparing for this rescue as fast as possible. The preparations were completed within 1 hour of receiving the distress signal, and Dr. Aaron immediately asked all the personnel who had gone to the rescue to assemble and board the plane.
A space shuttle and three warplanes all departed from the airport of Athena City in a state of emergency. After the four fighters entered space, they assembled in a pre-set formation, and immediately flew towards their star field at full speed after the assembly was completed.
Due to the distance, they will fly in Earth-Moon orbit for about 10 hours. Dr. Aaron made a collective broadcast to all the people who participated in the rescue, and he said: "We received a distress signal from the No. 1 test fighter 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, and what awaits us this time are the two excellent fighter pilots who have been testing various performance indicators for our fighters, they are Xingtian and Ares, I think you all know them.
Xingtian and Ares are on a mission to recover the pivot star of a series of satellites with early warning as their main mission, and this satellite is to improve the priority of our early warning system work.
Xingtian and Ares had already retrieved the satellite and fixed it to the recovery device installed on the fighter before calling for help.
But for unknown reasons, their fighter plane suddenly sent a distress signal. After our long-range observation, it was found that they may have collided with space junk in the orbit of the Earth's satellite, resulting in the destruction of the warplane.
They were already equipped with a full suit before the mission, and our suits can only survive in space for 24 hours, if their spare batteries and oxygen generators can be used properly.
Then their combat suits can maintain a space survival environment for 48 hours. It looks like we have plenty of time, but we start with the fact that they don't have backup batteries and oxygen generators.
Then we have 24 hours left. Now that 1 hour and 30 minutes have passed, their combat suits can still last for 22 hours and 30 minutes, and we have to remove the time they spent dodging in the impact and other uncertain factors caused by the delay in the distress signal, we are subtracting 1 hour, then they can only be in space for about 20 hours.
It will take another 9 hours and 35 minutes to reach Earth's orbit at our current speed. We're going to rescue them at the last chance to get into orbit and get close to them, and if we miss the window, we'll have to wait 90 minutes and get back to orbit.
We are short on time, and we must be prepared to work long hours and high intensity. Now I announce that the rescue mission has officially begun, and all posts have entered the working state according to the predetermined plan.
The monitoring team reports the detection situation at any time. All the people involved in the rescue began their work. Dr. Aron sat in the command chair with his hands clenched, and it could be seen that he was very nervous right now.
A beep came from the communicator requesting communication, and before Dr. Aron could press the connect button, Alice's eager voice came from the other end of the communicator.
Dad Xingtian and Ares are in distress, why don't you tell me, and why don't you let me participate in the rescue team?
Xingtian, how are they now? Say it quickly. My precious daughter, you haven't let me plug in a word since you received the signal, how can I answer you?
Dr. Aaron said: "I don't let you participate in the rescue because I am afraid that you will do something that will affect the rescue in a hurry, they are now working normally except for the destruction of the fighter plane, which means that they have no problem surviving now, and we have rushed to their star field as fast as possible."
Don't worry, I'll definitely bring you back the two of you. Alice's relieved voice came from the other end of the communicator.
Then I'll be waiting for your news at the base control tower. You must come back safely. Alice said.
Without waiting for Dr. Aron to answer, she cut off the communication, presumably running towards the conning tower in a hurry.
