"When I first arrived in your place, I would like to bear with me."

However, as soon as Lu An's words popped up in his heart, he was immediately interrupted by himself.

Am I crazy? How could such a strange thought come to mind? Is it because the ups and downs of life are too exciting, so you are crazy? I had already stepped into the cemetery with one foot, but I was pulled up by the gravediggers, what a thrilling thrill!

"What the hell happened to those guys in the back?"

After another ten minutes, the patrol boat landed on asteroid 273 in a spiral orbit, an asteroid with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers, but the size is similar to that of asteroid 265, where the unmanned base of No. 9786 is located.

Su Ruyu looked at the silver-gray star that was getting closer and closer, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the warship behind him seemed to be really indifferent to the actions of the patrol boat, and watched them flee to this asteroid to seek shelter and shelter.

Su Ruyu, who lived for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, was really strange in her heart.

In the process of escaping in the past, she has not encountered situations that are much more thrilling than now, but there is always a reason for struggling and fighting hard to save the day. She had never been in such a daze as she was out of danger now.

Therefore, she couldn't help but ask, half talking to herself, half asking Lu An.

"Who knows, anyway, it won't be merciful and deliberately spare us."

"Or maybe there's something wrong with their engine? After all, they have been chasing so hard just now, didn't you say that the cruising speed of such a warship is only 300,000 kilometers per hour, and they should have maintained the highest speed all the time if they were able to catch up. ”

"Well, it's possible. However, the so-called cruising speed and maximum speed of a warship like the one chasing after us are actually not accurate. If there is no combat mission, it is natural to extend the service life of the warship, and of course the loss of the engine will be cherished in peacetime, and will not break through the cruising speed, so the service life of the general warship is calculated in more than ten years; However, in wartime, the life span of a warship is generally two years, three years, or five years, and the warship that follows can actually maintain the top speed at a continuous rate of two years if it costs no expense. ”

"So, isn't there something wrong with their ship's engine?"

"Well, it's not quite like that, and we've all been within the range of that warship just now, even if there is a problem with the power system, the weapon system can't all be paralyzed, so the probability is too small."

"So, what's wrong?"

Lu An shrugged, faced Su Ruyu's question, and replied helplessly: "So, who knows, probably only they know." ”

"Hmm."

The patrol boat gradually slowed down and landed towards the 273 asteroid, and Su Ruyu didn't ask any more questions, staring intently at the landing of the spacecraft.

Anyway, the two of them have escaped death now, and as for why they were able to escape from death, it is actually not very important, Su Ruyu is just curious for a while.

"Alright, it's time to turn off the gravity system, you go sit down first."

Lu An listened to Su Ruyu's instructions, picked a seat against the porthole of the spaceship, and tied himself with a seat belt.

Landing on these asteroids in space, because there is no atmosphere and the gravity is almost weak, makes the landing much less dangerous, and you don't even need to wear a spacesuit in the cockpit.

Lu An had just tied himself up, the spaceship shook slightly, as if he had suddenly jumped into the water, Lu An felt that he instantly became lighter, and his weight seemed to disappear all of a sudden, if it wasn't for the restraint of the seat belt, he would probably be floating in the cockpit at this time.

Then, before he could experience the feeling of fluttering, his body pressed down tightly, and the acceleration of the ship's landing made him clinging to his seat, as if he had a spring on it.

Although Lu An has been away from Earth for nearly a year and has been in and out of space several times, this alternating feeling of weightlessness and acceleration still makes him feel very fresh and interesting. The fainting of the first time in space has become very distant by this time.

Half an hour later, as if the patrol boat had suddenly hit the wall, the spacecraft, which had been lifted for a while, suddenly bounced upward, and then there was another "thump", and then it came to a standstill.

I just turned on the engine that reverses the deceleration!

Because there is no friction deceleration in the atmosphere, when landing on such an asteroid, it has to rely on the ship's own engine power to slow down in reverse, which is still a little knowledge that Lu An only learned after coming to the asteroid belt.

In the past, when he was studying at the Third Military Academy, Lu An naturally couldn't get in touch with such details, and no one would specialize in learning these details except for students majoring in general driving.

"This is also a journey of 10,000 miles, just like reading 10,000 books."

Lu An remembered a sentence he had seen before, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence in the past, but at this moment, he seemed to have an understanding.

"What are we going to do next?"

Su Ruyu unbuckled the seat belt in the driver's seat, pushed it gently, and floated towards Lu An.

Lu An replied while unbuckling his seat belt: "What do you say? Is there anything you want me to do? ”

"Let's go and see the shelling in the back first, even if we want to continue running, we must always clean up, so that it is much easier to run, so as not to have any trouble halfway, and it will be too late to cry."

Lu An nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So, the two put on space suits, floated out of the cockpit, and then exited the spacecraft through the airtight cabin.

Lu An followed Su Ruyu closely, jumped lightly from the airtight door to the asteroid, splashed a little dust and floated, and then slowly sprinkled it down, and waited until the two of them left for a long time before falling back to the surface of the asteroid.

The two helped each other, fastened their respective safety ropes to their spacesuits, and then circled the patrol boat, which was more than 30 meters long, to the rear of the spacecraft.

Seeing the scene of dense debris and fibers in the back of the spaceship, Lu An and Su Ruyu were each startled and looked at each other in the back.

"Tsk, it didn't disintegrate like this, it seems that our luck is really good."

"Hmm." Lu An nodded, stepped forward and touched it, but with a light touch, those broken fiber fragments fell down one after another, and then floated around the spaceship. Due to the weak gravity of asteroid 273, the debris is almost invisible, making it look like a ring of satellites around the ship's parent body.

"Fortunately, we landed just in time, and if we sail in space again, the three capsules that were shelled just now will disintegrate without specifying the time......"

"yes." Lu An waved his hand and slapped the debris around the asteroid one by one on the ground, splashing dust flowers one after another, like a miniature meteorite swarm impact.

Su Ruyu pointed to the back of the spaceship, which looked like a chrysanthemum ravaged by the autumn wind and autumn rain, and said, "Let's take a break here, at least we have to deal with this situation first." ”

"Okay."

Then, after observing the rear of the spacecraft, the two men decided to cut off one of the three damaged structural cabins, and then use the cut cabin to repair the other two, so as to keep the center of gravity and structure of the spacecraft unchanged from changing much, and it would not be difficult to control the course when flying.

So, he squatted on the ground behind the spaceship, drew a sketch of the spaceship with the interstellar dust on the surface of the asteroid, and briefly discussed the plan, Lu An returned to the spaceship and took out a bunch of tools. Fortunately, this is a patrol boat in the army, although it is not as well-equipped as a large warship, but it is enough to deal with such a temporary emergency.

In order to avoid being injured by the debris that burst out when being cut, Su Ruyu tied a safety rope and retreated far away, and commanded Lu An to step forward to clean up the three structural cabins that were shelled according to the plan discussed before.

Although the structural cabin of the patrol boat of more than 30 meters is only a dozen cubic meters in size, and the total operating area of the three cabins is only a few tens of square meters, Lu An is not a professional maintenance personnel, and it will be six hours later when the cut cabins are repaired one by one and the other two cabins are completed.

Jumping off from the top of the spaceship, gently pulling the safety rope, and pulling Su Ruyu in the distance over, Lu An, who was tired and panting, helped Su Ruyu back into the spaceship.

Back in the cockpit, Lu An couldn't wait to take off the spacesuit, although the spacesuit has a complete air conditioning system, but when Lu An sweats all over his body, the moisture soaks through the close-fitting clothes, he still feels very uncomfortable.

After pulling off the helmet of the space suit, he pushed it casually, shook off his wet hair, and then Lu An let himself float in the cockpit, not wanting to move.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Su Ruyu, who came in after Lu An, closed the valves of the airtight cabin and cockpit, floated to Lu An's side, untied the gloves and boots of the spacesuit for him, and unscrewed the airtight ring on his waist, pulling Lu An's whole person out of the spacesuit.

"Thank you, thank you."

Su Ruyu took off her space suit and replied, "Yes, by the way, do you want to take a shower first?" ”

"I'll wash it later." Lu An floated motionlessly, just squirmed his lips and replied.

After wheezing for half an hour, Lu An eased up, and after taking a big gulp of two cans of nutrients, and taking a happy bath in a circulating water bag, he finally recovered his spirits.

After drifting back to the cockpit from the living cabin, Lu An saw Su Ruyu staring at the piloting screen, so he asked, "Next, are we going to continue to run on the road?" ”

"yes, we can't stay here forever, although the supplies on this ship are quite adequate, we always have to go back to base."

"Well, when are we leaving? Moreover, the warship has been in hot pursuit, and now gone? We ......"

Su Ruyu pointed to the driving screen, which was the holographic image of asteroid 273.

"We're landing here now, and this is it. Just now, in order to avoid the sight of the warship, they deliberately landed on the sunny side facing the sun, and now they are blocked by this asteroid, although they can't see us, but we can't see them either. ”

Lu An looked up at the hologram of asteroid 273, where they landed was exactly the back of the direction of the course when they came, facing the sun, and the view of the two spaceships was obscured by the star of asteroid 273.

"Then we ......"

Su Ruyu pointed to the place next to the holographic image, and said: "I have just calculated with the data of the starry sky map you gave before, the rotation period of this asteroid is exactly close to 24 hours, plus the previous more than six hours, in another ten hours, the place where we landed will become a dark side, just facing the direction when we came just now." ”

"That is, you can see the warship chasing us behind?"

"Hmmm! Of course, they were able to see us, too. ”

Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this.

In other words, in another ten hours, the two of them will face the mad dog that chased all the way, but at the last moment, they inexplicably released the two of them and one horse on the smuggling warship.

Will they show mercy this time?
