In addition to serving as a relay station for spacecraft, another important role of "Buzhoushan" is to serve as a festival to clean up space junk.

If it weren't for the fact that the "Buzhou Mountain" empty port was not on the right track, otherwise the space junk debris in nearby orbit would be cleaned up using special technology and recycled by the way.

However, for the huge empty port with only 8 sailors, the "Buzhou Mountain", which has not yet grown up, is still not enough to deal with this danger freely.

Although the ground command proposed to allow the abandonment of the "Buzhou Mountain," none of the pilots took this final order to heart, and every one of them knew very well what the "Buzhou Mountain" empty port meant to the entire country and nation.

The loss of materials, investment and funds is still secondary, and the most important thing is that it is a heavy blow to China's aviation industry, which will not be able to turn around for at least ten years.

"Danger, danger, China in, immediately abandon the space station and push the space station into the atmosphere, quickly! We are too late to come to the rescue! ”

From a low orbit of about 330 kilometers near the earth, an emergency call from the International Space Station sounded in the attitude control room, and the other party apparently noticed an abnormality, and the "space station" entered by China was in danger.

No matter how much they look at China's entry and refuse to join the International Space Station program, they don't want to see China's astronauts sacrifice.

At this time, there was no schadenfreude in the union.

Even Japan, which had just lost a spy satellite for this reason, prayed to the god of the Shosho that nothing would happen to the "space station" that China had entered, and that it would be better to leave it intact.

Once such a huge "space station" gets out of control, it means that the already troublesome threat of space junk will be even worse, and it will become a new nightmare for all satellites, spacecraft and space stations that are still in use in space, and may trigger an even more terrible low-earth orbit blockade, and the empty technology will be stagnant for several years.

"It's time to get in touch! Protect yourselves, everyone. ”

Seeing that the first light representing the fragment inevitably touched the empty port, Wang Xuejun's voice suddenly became louder.

Compared to these space debris, armor-piercing shells or something are simply weak.

At this moment, the empty port shook violently, and even crackling sounds could be heard through the bulkhead, and a warning red light flashed in the attitude control cabin, constantly sounding the alarm.

"Computer, start reporting the damage!"

While trying to control the evasion of the empty port, Wang Xuejun shouted.

"15% loss of the outer isolation layer of South 1 and 7 cabins!"

Due to the lack of entry, the degree of intelligence in the control system of the airport is quite high, and the voice commands of the flight crew are immediately recognized.

In the pictures that popped up on several screens, the thick protective layer on the surface of the two space capsules was cut off, and a large piece like a double bed was "the main solar panel on the left side of South 2 lost 19%, and the East 4 capsule was broken down, and it has begun to be automatically repaired, and it is expected to be blocked in 20 seconds"

The loss was not just one, there were more than ten skin injuries alone, and one penetrating injury.

The fishbone-shaped "Buzhou Mountain" swayed gently, and a large cluster of solar panels in the shape of mimosas slowly broke away from the empty harbor and floated towards the earth.

Perhaps it will not become one of the dangerous space floats, and will soon turn into dust in the ionosphere, which is already the best outcome.

Wang Xuejun, who was trying to control and avoid losses, his back was completely wet with sweat, and he had just tried his best to carefully control the most favorable balance between disintegration and being hit by fragments.

Fortunately, it was an unimportant empty cabin that was penetrated, and if it hit the control cabin directly, the life safety of Wang Xuejun and the others was still small, and I am afraid that the "Buzhou Mountain" plan would have to be declared dead halfway.

After 35 seconds, the shaking, tremors, and squeaks were gone.

"I finally carried it, and I was going to die!"

Wang Xuejun felt that his hands were weak, and he was even more tired than fighting with the enemy for an hour.

"The first wave of impact is over, and the next waves are expected to be 5 hours later, 17 hours later, 23 hours later, 27 hours later, lasting at least 1 minute, well, at least 4 more waves before being lifted to a 1000-kilometer orbit, and our white spoon troubles are not over yet."

Si Qiang, who assisted in calculating the avoidance route, wanted to reach out to wipe a cold sweat, but he encountered a transparent barrier, and only then did he find that he was still wearing a spacesuit.

The situation is still not optimistic, but the damage situation is now the best result, and there are no casualties.

"5 hours? Fortunately, let Mao Jiadong install the SEG immediately, as long as the repulsion shield is activated, we will be safe. ”

Meng Yinan gasped heavily, just now under the high concentration of his mind, he also played at a super level.

Si Qiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's the best, otherwise I'm worried about whether the empty port will be able to hold on." ”

"Then give it a try, I won't give up easily."

Wang Xuejun shook his hand and did not show any timidity in the face of the challenge.

"There's something wrong with the SEG mounting slot."

Si Qiang, who was looking at the screens in front of him, saw an unusual signal, and he hurriedly called another person outside the empty port

Pilot: "Mao Jiadong, immediately go to the location of the SEG installation slot to check." ”

"Roger! Act now! ”

Mao Jiadong, who was holding the SEG sealed box, immediately got out of the external maintenance cabin and continued his original work.

Half an hour later, he opened the sealed compartment where the mounting slot was located, glanced left and right, and reported: "Everything is normal, no physical damage was found, can it be installed?" ”

"Wait, there's something wrong, Mao Jiadong, you take a look, if there are any pollutants in the XRAT module, well, I'll send a signal, you see, is there a yellow signal light that flashes three times."

Si Qiang's eyebrows tightened more and more, and the signals fed back by several functional modules in the installation slot were a little abnormal.

"Is there something wrong?"

Wang Xuejun's gaze turned over.

"There were six modules that failed in short circuits, and I asked Mao Jiadong to check one of them first."

Si Qiang tapped a few times on the screen and displayed the analysis diagram of the module of the SEG mounting slot.

This is a direct source of the X-8 "Demon" deformed wing fighter mount structure, which has been adjusted by experts to be used in large air ports.

"I don't see it, I'll check it first."

Mao Jiadong took out a strong flashlight from his waist and carefully examined it on the inside of the mounting slot, and suddenly a few silk-like reflections fell into his sight, which seemed unusual.

He immediately reported the anomaly to the control module, "Report! Something doesn't seem right, so I'm going to share the video with you in high-zoom close-up mode. ”

Through the high-powered optical lens on the spacesuit, those unusual reflections were immediately locked.

"Is it a wire that came loose somewhere?"

Wang Xuejun, Meng Yinan and Si Qiang looked at the cow hair filaments that appeared in the picture with a metallic luster, and the computer system automatically recognized the size, which was about 1.78 centimeters long.

"It's not the circuit wires on the mounting slots, it's the Siford pin! Something that the United States enters. ”

The voices of the ground command were heard in the ears of the flight crews, and the ground crews had apparently recognized what this competition was.

The West Ford Needle Project, consisting of a copper dipole line, was aided by the United States to reflect radio signals by spreading metal needles in low-Earth orbit to form a cloud-like ring, and then to conduct long-range communications through a satellite line in West Fordtown.

Fortunately, it was aborted after only one launch, otherwise the entire outer space orbit would be littered with these 430 million copper dipole wires with a total length of 1.78 centimeters and a diameter of 25.4 microns that have been pushed off the orbit by the pressure of solar radiation.

"The sealing hatch was punctured, and tiny holes were found."

Mao Jiadong sent out the traces of these fine needle intrusions, and the small holes on the outer surface of the hatch cover made the scalp numb, and in the impact just now, the SEG mounting slot unfortunately encountered a ball of Sift needles.

Don't look at these small needles as inconspicuous, the penetration brought by the speed in space will be very terrifying, and a very small number of fine needles have successfully invaded the inside of the mounting groove and destroyed some module components under the impact and sacrifice of the unremitting efforts of their predecessors.

"To prepare for the replacement of the damaged module, we must activate the Repulsion Shield as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to give up 'Buzhou Mountain'."

Without any hesitation, the ground command immediately issued the latest instructions, and they did not believe that the current situation of the empty port could support the next four rounds of impact.

"Spare parts for the SEG mounting slots are stored in cabin No. 4 East! Ugh"

The three of them were speechless, and they remembered that just now, the cabin that the system reported to have been broken down was the East No. 4 cabin.

"I'll go to the East 4th cabin to check!"

Fan Liming, who was in charge of repairing the management damage, immediately took action, and said while quickly passing through the cabin and section: "Si Qiang, help me block the section, prepare to evacuate the air in the East No. 4 cabin, and tell me the location of the spare parts, Mu Hongtian, enter the one-hour sleep mode, and set off in an hour and a half." ”

"Yes!"

Another flight attendant also quickly prepared, and this was a race against death.

"Only 1 good spare part was found, the rest of the spare parts have been destroyed!"

A moment later, Fan Liming, who was only holding the module components like slabs and bricks, looked at the mess of the East No. 4 cabin with an ugly face, as if a broken armor bomb had just been hit here, and many spare parts were damaged to varying degrees.

It seemed that a piece of metal fragments the size of a fan had penetrated the hatch, disintegrating into countless fragments scattered in the cabin, only two pieces with strong kinetic energy from the other hatch, and the breach had been temporarily sealed by high-strength gel.

Unfortunately, the spare parts rack in the SEG mounting slot was hit directly by metal fragments that penetrated into the cabin, and it was very lucky to be able to find a piece of spare parts that was intact.

The eight flight crews and the ground command in the empty harbor were actively discussing the response plan one second, but the next second they collectively fell into a dead silence.

It's really the house leak that happened to rain overnight, and it was really fate that just gave me a glimmer of hope, and kicked the feed into the gutter, and the feeling of falling together almost made me spew blood depressedly.

"Organize an emergency launch immediately! Rush to ship spare parts! ”

A certain bigwig of the Aviation Bureau broke the silence, but surprisingly did not receive any response.
