Chapter 276: The wreck of the starship

Driving down the winding path, white LED lights illuminated the road in front of the work vehicle, revealing a large rectangular, apparently unnatural metal wreckage.

The front end of this wreckage has been carried to the ground of the moon, and at the junction with the ground, there is a triangular crack that is more than ten meters wide and seven or eight meters high, which is the entrance for astronauts to enter the wreckage. Such a huge crack on the entire hull is actually pitifully small, because from the very top of the crack, there is at least two-thirds of the way to the top of the wreckage, so the height of this part of the wreck is nearly thirty meters, which is the height of a nine-story building.

However, this is only the smallest part of the whole ship, and when you look back, the huge hull is the largest in the middle section, at least twice as large as the front end, and the short hull at the tail is also reduced, but it is also slightly larger than the front section. Zhou Binghe and others, who have long been familiar with the wreckage of this alien spacecraft, know that the reason why it is called the stern of the ship is because there are four huge thruster tail vents there. Provided, of course, if you're not mistaken.

Zhou Binghe, who had been here countless times, parked the work truck in front of the crack, and then helped the others unload their tools and said, "Now is the right time." After speaking, Zhou Binghe put his left hand across his chest, and the other four people also began to time, and then Zhou Binghe said: "Now there is one hour, twelve minutes and fifty-four seconds before the next communication time, Dechang, you leave the guard equipment, the four of us go in, and return from the mission in three hours, all understand?" ”

"Understood." The four of them replied in unison, and then except for Huang Dechang, who was going to stay behind, the others took their own tools and began to walk towards the crack in the ship. The reason why the communication time is determined is because the place where the wreckage fell is a deep valley, and the radio signal cannot be transmitted directly to the base, so only when the satellite passes over the head can it establish communication with the lunar base.

Turning on the searchlight on his helmet, Zhou Binghe walked into the crack with three scientists. As soon as you enter the crack, you can still see the marks of impact, twisted internal metal structures, scattered objects, and grains of sand belonging to the surface of the moon. Under the blue and white light, everything looked very white.

Judging from the structure, materials, and scattered items of the spaceship, the wreckage of this alien spaceship should be the same as the earth's scientific and technological civilization, but judging from the fact that it can carry out interstellar voyages, it is at least more than 300 years higher than the earth.

When they first came to the wreckage of this spaceship, in order to take off the material sample, Lu Yongchang and others spent several hours directly using more than a dozen scraps of physical cutting grinding discs, and they did not cut any small pieces of metal on the shell of the spacecraft, and finally they could only use precious oxygen to cut the shell, which only then did they get some extremely fine metal particles and send them back to Earth for research.

In fact, the reason why WS15 was able to make such a big improvement soon after it was developed is because scientists have obtained some results by reversing those metal particles, and with the progress of the reverse project, there will be more and greater discoveries.

Although the research on the wreckage has been going on for several years, in fact, the expedition team has not been to any other places except for the front compartment that they first entered, not because they don't want to, but they can't, because just by breaking those hatches, most of the oxygen resources have been wasted, and until now, the scientists at the lunar base have only broken three cabins, and they have probably understood the layout of the cabin, and there is no way to analyze more things.

For the sake of secrecy, even if scientists and supplies are dispatched in the name of establishing a lunar base, it is impossible to launch rockets to the moon twice in three days. In the absence of sufficient logistical resources, it can only be done at the cost of slowing down the speed of exploration.

However, even so, what has been explored so far is enough for domestic scientists to study, and the reverse engineering is not as easy as imagined, so the overall progress can still satisfy the relevant leadership.

Today, Zhou Binghe and others plan to break down the metal door of the fourth cabin, because it is a multi-layer composite structure, it is not easy to break it. However, after spending more than ten hours before and after, if nothing else, the entire hatch should be dismantled today and the fourth compartment can be entered.

However, Zhou Binghe and others did not know that the compartment they were about to open was the guard cabin in the front section of the life support cabin of the scientific research ship, although in order to ensure the operation of the basic life support equipment, the entire cabin had fallen into a standby state, but it was actually in a state that could be activated at any time, and when Zhou Binghe and Huang Debin finally used an oxygen cutter to destroy the hatch and pried the hatch open to both sides with a crowbar, this obvious violent demolition behavior had activated the automatic defense function of the guard cabin.

"A little more force!" Wearing a thick spacesuit, Qin Kai stood in front of the hatch, and asked Zhou Binghe and Huang Debin to pry both sides at the same time, under the effect of leverage, the originally closed hatch was pried open a little crack, although only one finger could be stretched in, but seeing the hatch that had been pried open after so many hard work, Qin Kai couldn't help but say happily: "Come on, work harder." ”

"One, two, three, hey!" Zhou Binghe shouted the trumpet and worked with Huang Debin, in fact, compared to such a primitive method, the two of them hoped that they could use the hydraulic demolition machine to help pry open the hatch, but just now on the way up, the hydraulic pipe of the hydraulic demolition machine was accidentally scratched by sharp metal fragments, and it was actually cut off and the guide could not be used, so they could only pry open the hatch manually.

Although this is more strenuous, it is still useful, and they don't want to give up today's mission plan because of a hose problem, so the four of them decided to use a crowbar to try to see if they can pry it open, and sure enough, the hatch was pried open with the joint efforts of several people. But who would have thought that this would be the beginning of a nightmare?

In the darkness opposite the hatch, a few small red dots suddenly lit up, and Qin Kai, who was standing in front of the hatch, immediately noticed the situation, and immediately said, "Wait, there is a situation on the other side." ”

However, before the words fell, in the stunned eyes of Zhou Binghe, Huang Debin and Lu Yongchang, Qin Kai suddenly seemed to have been punched, and the whole person suddenly shook his body, and then floated back, at the same time, the arc visible to the naked eye shone on Qin Kai's body, the white spacesuit was instantly scorched, and the glass mask burst as if it had been exploded like dynamite, and when Qin Kai's whole person fell to the ground motionless, Zhou Binghe and the others had not yet reacted, and the occurrence of this qiē had exceeded everyone's expectations.

"What is this?" Zhou Binghe muttered, and was about to ask what was going on, but at this moment, the cabin that had been pitch black suddenly lit up, and he felt that the crowbar in his hand was loosened, and the hatch that required two people to pry open a little at the same time had been automatically opened.
