Chapter 5: Disaster Strikes
Within the four rings of the solar system
There used to be only a little light in this vast solar system, but now it seems to be gradually brightening, and the light seems to be more dazzling than the sun, more charming than the moon. Streams of light trailed towards the blue planet with a long tail of flames.
Outside the space station
At this time, a group of people stood on the titanium alloy splint of the space station, wearing spacesuits, with a Z-shaped pattern engraved on their chests, a rope tied to their backs, and a long vacuum cleaner-like thing in their hands.
They wander around on the large splints, occasionally jumping somewhere else, sweeping back and forth with the "vacuum cleaner" in their hands.
These people are the cleaning staff of the space station, and their main job is to be responsible for daily maintenance and cleaning work, most of them are maintenance-based and supplemented by cleaning, and the diploma required for maintenance is quite high.
The surface of the space station often has some space junk attached to it, so the space station needs the profession of cleaning personnel, and the cleaning personnel are naturally selected in the space station.
Space junk is caused by the waste of human resources, and the debris of various satellites and rockets launched by major countries from the earth cannot be recycled after they reach outer space.
They are currently cleaning up the debris from the splints on the surface of the space station, and the thing that looks like a "vacuum cleaner" is used to clean up space junk.
While they were busy, many lights suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Eh, man, what do you think that's that?" A repairman with an automatic screwdriver in his hand touched the person holding the cleaner next to him.
At first, those lights were only the size of sand in his eyes, so he didn't pay much attention to them at the time, this kind of starry twinkle in the universe was normal, but under the impetus of time, those lights gradually became larger in his eyes, so that he had to pay attention to this "spectacle".
The cleaner with the cleaner was very impatient at first when he was stopped by someone, and he was thinking about his days in the nightclub during the last week's holiday, but he was suddenly disturbed by someone next to him, which was really unpleasant.
He turned to the man and said, "What did you call me for?" Are you too idle to do? ”
The repairman with the screwdriver paid no attention to his rude behavior, only to see that he was pointing to a place with his finger.
The person holding the cleaner looked in the direction of his finger, and what appeared in front of him was a huge meteorite flying not far from the space station not far away.
This made his originally impatient expression instantly become extremely rich, and the cleaner he was holding in his hand also fell on the splint, and his mouth grew large, and his eyes looked blankly at the sky.
The people who were cleaning nearby were attracted by the commotion just now, and they looked at the dumbfounded man and followed his gaze in confusion.
Inside the space station
"Sir, the meteorite has arrived in our area!" A taller station member said
"I've seen it! No need to report! Stationmaster Li Haojie slapped the console violently.
Are we going to die here today? Li Haojie asked himself in his heart.
"Sir, the space stations of nearby countries have already given us an answer, saying that they have promised to cooperate with us." A station member wearing a communication device and a slightly thinner body than a normal person said.
Li Haojie's eyes gradually brightened,Said:"Great! Connect with them right away, and don't give up until the last minute! ”
Everyone present was aroused by his words, yes! How can you give up hope until the last minute?
At the moment, they blame and resent themselves for their initial lack of calm.
There are many satellites around the Earth, and the space stations use satellites to connect each other as "bridges".
I saw that the solar panels of the space station scattered everywhere emitted faint energy fluctuations at this time, and the surrounding space seemed to become distorted in an instant.
The halo on the solar panel is getting bigger and bigger, and the next moment it gushes out like a spring, and the halo pulls out a long line and shoots straight at the connection port of the satellite, and the satellite is strung together with this light.
"Report sir, the connection is complete, and the defense system is ready to be deployed." The staff in charge of docking said excitedly.
Li Haojie nodded,Said:"Notify the major space stations to be ready at any time,All departments are ready to meet the meteorite swarm at any time!"
"Yes, sir!" The momentum of all the staff has reached its peak at this moment.
Li Haojie's heart is actually very nervous,He can become a general, and his psychological endurance is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people,But he is also a human after all!
Who can still have no emotions at all in the face of disaster, but he is the leader, he can't show panic in front of his subordinates, he has to lead the team to resist this devastating disaster!
The meteorite swarm is currently less than 500 meters away from the space station, and from a distance, the space station can be seen like a hedgehog with sharp hair, and a handful of weapons popping out of many grooves are ready to resist the impact of meteorites.
Backbite! A mechanical sound sounded outside the door.
"Report to the sir, the ground forces are also ready to withstand the meteorite attack at any time!" Said the station member of the communications department who came to inform him.
Li Haojie's originally tense heartstrings have been calmed down,That's good,At least when we can't resist the impact of meteorites, there are people below to defend,This layer of double insurance is exactly the plan that Li Haojie came up with。
Li Haojie waved his hand to signal the station member to go back,Just as he turned around,The alarm of the system sounded,The entire space station was darkened at this time。
"What's going on?" Li Haojie said.
"Report sir, the power system seems to have been disturbed and has ceased to function!" The tall station member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
Li Haojie's heart seems to sink to the bottom of the sea,He didn't expect the magnetic field interference of the meteorite to be so strong,But he has to deal with it calmly now,A little carelessness may wipe out the whole army。
Li Haojie frowned and said in a deep voice: "Cancel the power supply mode and change it to the fuel operation mode."
The biggest advantage of this space station is that it can directly convert fuel into power without electric channeling, but at the cost of huge consumption.
Li Haojie doesn't want to do this, but at this moment, there is no better way to deal with it,The space station without energy can only wait for death,He would rather consume more energy to block this crisis。
An obese station member said cautiously, "Sir, but if our energy is driven in this form, it can only withstand an hour's time."
"Is there a better way? We have no way back, start the fuel mode right away. ”
Li Haojie can't care about so much,If you can block an hour, you can block it for an hour,Weaken the number of meteorites as much as possible,So that the people below can tide over the difficulties smoothly。
At this moment, several meteorites had already taken the lead in front of the space station, as if they could collide at any time.
I saw that the space station that had lost power was re-energized at this moment, and the thick blue light spread out from the inside of the space station to the surroundings, forming a huge protective shield.
"Boom!" A loud sound lingered in everyone's ears for a long time.
The space station shook violently.
Li Haojie looked out of the glass window in front of him,Huge meteorites outside the window continued to hit the protective cover of the space station one after another,And one is bigger than the other,There are some slight cracks on the protective cover of the space station。
Li Haojie doesn't know if other space stations have been interfered with,What he needs to do is to withstand this wave of attacks,Give other countries' space stations time to recover。
