Dr. Aaron stood next to the No. 1 test fighter and said to Xingtian and Ares, who were already sitting in the cabin: "Come down, go and put on the full combat uniforms, there is a risk in today's mission." When Xingtian and Ares heard this, they immediately ran back to the tactical layout room to put on the full set of space combat suits and return to the fighter plane, and Xingtian said to Dr. Aaron: This combat suit is too bulky and seriously affects the flight operation. Ares nodded in agreement. Dr. Aron said to the two: This combat suit is a little bulky, our new combat suit is still being developed and tested, you will be on it, I can let you try it first when the new combat suit is tested, the new combat suit is a close-fitting armor test. After watching Xingtian, they boarded the fighter plane and finished preparation, and said to them: Because today's mission may be risky, let you wear a full set of combat uniforms, although this combat uniform is relatively heavy, but in case of danger, it can ensure that you can survive for 48 hours without the fighter, so that in case of problems, we will also have time to rescue you and ensure your safety. Well, let's talk about the content of today's mission, there is a lot of space junk in the Earth's orbit, which is basically the original Earth-launched satellites, satellite wreckage and launch vehicle pushers and other man-made objects. Among them is a smart early warning satellite launched by China before the Third World War in 2020, and some of the technology has now been lost due to the war. Our early warning scientists are very impressed with the technology of this satellite, and they have come up with a way to recover the satellite and disassemble it for reverse research, and at the same time, they can also link to the control unit of the satellite to download and decipher the control software. This satellite is the pivot satellite in all early warning satellite series, and there are a total of 9 early warning satellites plus the hub satellite. We have downloaded the graphic information and coordinate information of these 9 satellites to your fighters, you can find the pivot star through the star map, your fighters have been equipped with remote control manipulators needed to recover this satellite, Ares is on your right, see that joystick? That's right, this is the joystick of the recovery device, Xingtian is responsible for driving the fighter to find the satellite, and you are responsible for the recovery operation. Good luck with this satellite. By the way, due to the large amount of space junk in Earth's orbit, you must be careful. Xingtian, you must be careful when flying a fighter, if something goes wrong with you, Alice will not let me go. I'll give you a day off when you're done and you're done, and I'll let you and Alice have fun in the living quarters, where even the park and playground have been built and tested. All right, my children, you must be safe. Xingtian and Ares gave Dr. Aron a solemn military salute, then smiled at the doctor and lowered the canopy.

Dr. Aron waved at them and walked back to the conning tower. The airport began to be closed, and the air was evacuated. Fighter No. 1 also began to make final preparations before takeoff. As the engine ejected tailfire, the fighter took off and rushed out of the airport. Xingtian, this mission doesn't seem to be very dangerous, isn't it just some space junk? The material of our current fighter is a grade 6 alloy material, and a meteorite with a diameter of less than 10 centimeters will not damage it. Is Metamorphosis Long making a big fuss? Coupled with your superb driving skills, we can't have problems, don't you think? Ares said. Let's be careful, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. For the sake of our day's vacation, let's be serious. After the lecture, Xingtian carefully set the automatic navigation of the fighter plane and the orbit of the earth satellite at the destination. After setting the parameters, Xing Tian continued: Our flight is not a short time, after computer calculations to reach the orbit of the earth satellite at the current speed should take about 10 hours, plus we need to find and confirm the pivot star and then recover and return home. It takes about 24 hours in total, which is one day of Earth time, so why don't you take a break? I found a satellite calling you, how about we try to recover it once? So we can get back to Athena City and start our vacation? It's okay, I'm not sleepy, I'm sleeping when I'm sleepy. It's okay, if you're sleepy, just go to sleep.

The fighter plane has been flying in the set orbit for 9 hours and is about to reach the Earth's satellite orbit, when the alarm sounded in the fighter: Attention. Note. Please note that you are about to arrive at the set star field. Ares opened his eyes nervously, and when he heard the content clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and patted the back of the seat in the driving position in front of Xingtian, Xingtian, are you awake? You're such a lazy worm, I've woken up a long time ago, and if you don't answer, I won't cancel the set prompt alarm. Hurry up and drink some energy liquid. We're going to work soon, you're going to give me a little bit of skill, and our vacation is waiting for us?" After Xingtian finished speaking, he put the bagged energy liquid straw in his mouth and sucked it hard. Well, got it, you can rest assured, manipulating this joystick is as easy as the flight simulation game we play, and it won't delay your date with Alice. That's good, Xing Tian said stupidly. After speaking, Xingtian continued to check the indicators of the fighter, looked at the watch, turned on the communicator and called to the control tower: Athena. Athena. This is the No. 1 test fighter, and now I would like to report to you that we are close to the orbit of the Earth satellite, and will arrive at the set star field in about 20 minutes, after which we will carry out further search and confirm the target based on the data. It takes about 10 minutes to search. Athena received, pay attention to the fighter index, pay close attention to the radar tips to ensure safety. When you reach the set area, turn on the Close-in Radar and the Object Search Radar. Test Fighter No. 1 understood. Xingtian turned off the communicator after answering.

Ares, about to enter the set star field, turn on the close defense radar. The close-in radar is turned on. Turn on the Object Search Radar. After the turn on, the close defense radar and the object-specific radar are working normally, the data reception is normal, and the image has begun to be synchronized to the control tower. Whew, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Ares said, Xingtian, let's wait for the radar response, you will see me in a while, as long as I find the satellite, I will catch it once. Okay, it's up to you. After 10 minutes of search satellite analysis and confirmation, the pivot star was found, and Xingtian immediately began to operate the fighter to approach the pivot star. When the fighter plane was about 1 kilometer away from the central star, the fighter suddenly shook a little, and Ares nervously asked: What's the matter? It's okay, maybe the space junk hit our fighter, our current speed is 7.9 kilometers per second, and the space junk is basically at this speed, it should be a slight collision, I will turn on the fighter self-test to check. After speaking, Xingtian opened the fighter self-inspection program. After self-inspection, it was found that the fighter's engine was hit by space junk near the jet port, and the body was slightly deformed, and everything else was normal. Whew, Ares exhaled, and his heart was relieved. Xing Tian suddenly thought that the radar might be affected by the high temperature of the engine, and there should be no danger so there was no warning in advance, which should be a problem that was not encountered in the original test.

Xingtian continued to drive the fighter to the pivot star, and when it was only 1 meter away from the pivot star, Xingtian reported to the control tower that the fighter had approached the target and began to recover it. Ares, it's up to you. Okay, listen to my command, the fighter plane climbs above the target and flies in sync with the target. You're done. Turn on the visual observer and unfold the robotic arm, ready to begin the recovery. The visual viewer is working fine, and the robotic arm is working properly. Start the recycling operation. With Ares' manipulation, the mechanical arm stretched out and grabbed at the sides of the pivot star. The robot locks onto the target and begins to retract the robotic arm. The retraction posture of the robotic arm is normal, and the recovery is successful. At the same time as Ares announced the success of the recovery, the close-in radar alarm sounded. There is a danger of collision if there is an object approaching at high speed behind the alarm and alarm. Please note that a collision is expected to occur after 1 minute and 15 seconds. Xingtian discovered through the rearview that an abandoned satellite was approaching from the rear, and the satellite was still spinning, and the broken solar panels were constantly rotating towards the blades of the fan. Xing Tian immediately manipulated the fighter and began to rush towards the lower part of the orbit (there is no up, down, left and right in space, so the belly of the fighter is below), trying to avoid the satellite. The sirens kept ringing. At the last moment, the satellite's solar panels flew over the fighter plane. My mother, you're so powerful, you scared me to death. Ares made a sweat-wiping motion. At this time, Xingtian was already sweating profusely, and his back was soaked. But fortunately, they wear combat uniforms and have an automatic air-drying function.

Xingtian began to report to the conning tower: Athena, we have successfully recovered the pivot star, and now we are starting to return, please answer if you receive it. There was no response, and at the same time the alarm sounded again: alarm, alarm, a large number of objects approaching at high speed, please take shelter. Xing Tian immediately looked in the rearview mirror, and a large amount of satellite debris and other space junk were flying towards their warplane. It is estimated that they have affected the communication signal, and now they can't care about contacting the control tower, Xingtian urgently maneuvered the fighter plane to continue flying downward, and at the same time accelerated to close the distance between the space junk and the rear so that there was more reaction time. Shall I turn on the fire control system and blow up the debris with our missiles? Ares said as he turned on the fire control system. No, the explosion will produce more fragments, and the vector energy of these fragments will be larger, so we will be in more trouble. Xingtian manipulated the fighter plane to continue to dive downward, while making evasive moves. The sirens are still ringing as a reminder that a large amount of space junk is continuing to approach. Xingtian has concentrated 100% of his energy to start coping, and with his efforts, the fighter plane has passed by space junk again and again, during which the high-power directional antenna on a scrapped satellite has also had a slight scratch with the fighter. Xingtian and Ares couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they listened to the harsh sound of metal friction in the fighter plane (there is no air in space that does not conduct sound, but there is air in the fighter, and the sound of metal friction will sound in the fighter). This high-intensity operation lasted for 5 minutes, and the alarm finally stopped. Xingtian and Ares let out a long exhale at the same time. We dodged it, it's too dangerous, if it weren't for my brother's good skills, Ares would have become the new space junk. Xingtian Dao. Yes, yes, Xingtian, your driving skills really didn't say anything. Ares said as he gave a thumbs up in the rearview mirror of the Xingtian cockpit. Xing Tian smiled and began to contact the base. Call Athena, here is the number one test fighter, please answer if you receive it, please answer when you receive it. The only thing that came from the communicator was the sizzle of electricity. Ares conducts a full inspection of the fighter. Xingtian said immediately. The fighter self-test system is activated, and the external imaging equipment is turned on. Damn, the communication antenna of our fighter is gone, maybe the collision just knocked the antenna off, look at the break like a laser cut, so hanging, we can't use high-speed communication equipment now, we can only use the telegraph system to contact the base. While speaking, Ares transmitted the image of the appearance imaging equipment to the monitor in front of Xingtian, Xingtian shook his head helplessly and said: Send a report to the base, the content is: The satellite has been recovered, and when preparing to return, there was a slight collision with space junk, and the high-speed communication antenna of the fuselage was damaged. After sending, Xingtian quickly set the parameters, let's go home, this time I'm really scared, I'm so scared. After saying that, Ares grimaced at Xingtian, but the sweat on his temples already showed that he was really nervous.

As soon as Ares finished speaking, he felt a violent vibration of the fighter plane. Ares looked up out the window, the shattered space station capsule had crashed into their plane, and since the capsule was a cylinder, it rolled over and smashed into the cockpit of the fighter plane after hitting the top of one side. Ares turned on the space survival mode of his combat suit to prepare for a collision, and while reminding Ares, Xingtian turned on the space survival mode of his combat suit and pushed the lever down to try to dodge the space capsule that smashed over again. However, the fighter did not respond as it should according to Xingtian's operation, and the first impact may have damaged the fighter's operating system. Xingtian and Ares watched as the capsule smashed into their cockpit. Prepare for impact. Xing Tian only said four words, and the spacecraft crashed into the cockpit. Under the tremendous force of the impact, the bulletproof glass of the cockpit shattered, and the cockpit was also deformed. Two people fainted in the massive impact.
