Chapter 9: The Spaceship Is Coming
On the contract, Ricks, Orang, and Tennessee, three men who have lost contact with their wives for a whole day, have gone crazy.
Chris, a black man, has always been calm because he is the technical leader of the whole ship, so he can barely maintain a fluster.
But Tennessee and Orang don't have the same spaceship decision-makers as they should be, and they have panicked because of the loss of contact with their respective wives.
The electromagnetic interference formed by the thick storm layer has completely blocked all signals, and the Contract has completely lost contact with the landing module.
Ou Lang in the bridge looked a little nervous, but he still called over and over again: "Landing module, please call back." Landing capsule, do you hear me? ”
And Tennessee didn't plan to wait any longer: "There must be something wrong with the landing module now, otherwise, this would not have happened." ”
Ricks was also stunned with his hand on his chin, and he suddenly asked, "Mom", the ship-planting intelligent system: "Analyzing the possibility of the spaceship descending to the surface of the planet now, 'Mom' bothers you to list feasible methods." ”
O'Lang and Tennessee also calmed down for a while, indeed, if they continued to call like this, they would not have been answered, so it was better to go down and take a look.
O'Lang also asked, "Answer me, 'Mom', how far can we get from this planet at most?" ”
"Mom" of the shipyard intelligent system immediately replied: "The spaceship can be lowered to a minimum of 80 kilometers above Storm City, otherwise it will exceed the safe limit distance on board." ”
Without any hesitation, O'Rang, Tennessee, and Ricks said in unison, "Then immediately descend to the range of 80 kilometers above the storm layer." ”
Eliza, who was sitting in the back, immediately stood up and said, "Wait, wait, you can't let the biography be so dangerous?" ”
Tennessee didn't wait for her to finish, and immediately continued, "The closer we get to the planet, the more likely it is that communication with them will be restored. ”
Eliza offered her advice anyway: "This is a storm with winds of more than 300 kilometers per second, and with the ionosphere so active, is it dangerous for us to approach it rashly?" ”
Ricks still came to his senses, and he made a more rational judgment: "We really can't risk this ship, our responsibility is to protect the 2,000 colonists on board." ”
Tennessee retorted, "Do we want to sit idly by?" ”
But Orang looked at the storm below that covered almost the entire planet, and the incessant lightning and thunder, and said, "We must try to go down and pick them up, the current situation is definitely not normal." ”
Ricks has calmed down and said, "We do have to go down and pick them up, but if they have a problem, they have to figure it out on their own, that's the reality." ”
Ou Lang directly ordered: "Descend to 80 kilometers above the storm, use only thrusters, and 'mom' immediately execute." ”
"Descended 80 kilometers above the storm."
The voice of "Mom" sounded inside the ship, the range of the machine's descent, and the storm danger layer marked with red lines.
Eliza, who had wiped her forehead, said righteously: "O'Lang, Tennessee, we'd better not do this!" ”
"You should go back and do your thing, Eliza!" Tennessee also pestled Eliza, who was wearing a peaked cap with a wiped forehead.
The only four people left on the ship are clearly divided into two camps: Tennessee and Orang, and the other camp is Eliza and Ricks.
Ricks, who had come to his senses, also said, "We have to study this matter carefully!" We'd better all calm down and talk about it! ”
Eliza was stunned for a moment, her tone was so tough, but she was still trying to persuade: "O'Lang, Tennessee, I know your wife is down there, but your duty is to guard the 2,000 colonists on this ship, so it's better to think about it." ”
O'Lang looked away from the storm below, looked back at Eliza and said, "Thanks for the reminder!" ”
The ship began to plummet downwards, heading down the storm layer.
When the timeline returned to the initial signal, Wang Yonghao rushed to the platform upstairs and stood there to contact the spacecraft with the wired headset thrown out of the computer next to the antenna.
"Glad to hear your voice, O'Lang, we have casualties here, what's the situation with you there?"
Unable to contact the ground expedition over the storm, the ship dropped a full half of the safe distance at Orang's insistence.
The spacecraft has now reached a position 40 kilometers above the storm layer and continues to descend, with the final destination being five kilometers above the storm layer.
That's the limit of safe distance.
O'Rang replied, "I just asked, and 'Mom' said that the storm would have to last at least eight hours. ”
Wang Yonghao said: "Then we can use the cargo plane, we can't wait for eight or nine hours, it's too dangerous on the ground." ”
Tennessee chimed in: "What's going on with you, why don't you return with a landing capsule?" ”
Wang Yonghao immediately panicked: "We were not near the landing site, and we were driven to a safe place by the aggressive creatures on the surface. ”
But O'Lang was still worried about the transport plane, and he asked, "You mean the cargo plane?" ”
Wang Yonghao calmly analyzed them: "He has four engines, and it is too big to be a transport plane. ”
Tennessee retorted: "But the cargo plane is not designed to support space travel, and I don't know if it can safely fly into the atmosphere." ”
Ricks, the ship's technical officer, said: "The control room is sturdy enough to withstand the pressure, and it only needs to be done once. ”
Ou Lang was also more impressed when he heard this, he looked back at the technical trio and asked, "What do you think?" Can we modify the transport aircraft, strengthen the engines, remove the excess weight? ”
Eliza replied succinctly: "Yes! ”
The spaceship is shaking so badly that the signal screens that communicate with each other are covered with snowflakes, which is extremely unstable.
Ou Lang received an affirmative reply, looked back at the screen and said, "Okay, the ground team is waiting for us to go to the rescue!" ”
Tennessee was more anxious than Olang and Ricks, and he pretended to be calm and asked Wang Yonghao: "Well, Jacob, is Faris by your side, if it is convenient, I want to say a few words to my wife." ”
"Can you switch to a private channel?" Wang Yonghao pretended to be a little unspeakable: "Say it when you are alone!" ”
Tennessee wasn't stupid at all, the smile on his face slowly faded instantly, and he was a little uncomfortable wearing a cowboy hat.
Tennessee got up and walked out of the bridge, no longer smiling: "What's wrong?" ”
