Chapter 27: Escape
Leia hurriedly closed the switch on the security door outside the cabin and climbed onto the lift platform of the lifeboat. However, the safety door malfunctioned in the process of closing, and when it was about to close, it suddenly stopped with a "click".
The cub slammed into it, and the safety door made a metal crash. However, although the safety door could not be completely closed, its body still could not penetrate through the gap, and had to continue to pound violently.
As the lifeboat's lift slowly lifted, both Lucy and Leia breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were out of danger. However, as the platform rises and closes, a "chain" creeps through the gap in the security door, snatching Leia's body from behind and dragging her down. Seeing that Leia was about to be dragged off the spaceship, Lucy quickly took Leia's hand. At this time, the lifting platform sensed that the occupant's body was sticking out of the platform, which was a dangerous behavior and stopped rising.
Lucy used all her strength to grab Leia's hand. But the strength of a girl could not match that of a beast, and Lucy soon became unable to support it, and the hands of the two gradually began to separate.
At this critical moment, Leia made a decision in an instant. She quickly pulled out a small black cube from her body, which was the carry-on storage bag. Leia threw it on the platform and instructed Lucy, "Please make sure you take it back to the military." As soon as she finished speaking, the two hands were detached, and Lucy watched as Leia was dragged off the platform.
At this point, the platform continued to rise again until it was completely closed, and Lucy wept bitterly and was heartbroken. At this time, the young beast was still constantly slamming against the safety door, which had failed to protect itself, and now it had knocked out a crack. And as the crack widens, the safety door is about to fall apart.
Lucy had no time to be sad at this point, so she picked up the cube and put it in her pocket, rushed to the console of the lifeboat, and pressed the start button in desperation.
There was a buzzing sound, and the protective door from the cabin to the space opened automatically. The lifeboat rushed to the sea of stars like an arrow from a string. At the same time, the cub slammed open the security door and rushed into the parking compartment. At this time, the outer protective door had not yet been closed, and due to the huge air pressure difference between the inside of the parking module and the outer space, a storm-like air flow swept out of the cabin, and the young beast was also pushed out of the spaceship at high speed by this powerful air current.
At this time, the lifeboat had just left the spaceship, and the young beast was pushed by this air current to rush towards the lifeboat at high speed. When it found that the lifeboat was in front of it, it was about to die and struggle, and stabbed several "chains" at its tail at the rescueboat, and the sharp end broke through the shell of the engine at the stern of the lifeboat, causing the energy input pipe of one engine to rupture, and the energy began to leak out. Despite this, the lifeboat activated its own spare engine and continued to accelerate its flight. As time passed, the baby eventually died because it was unable to survive in space.
Lucy was setting the course of the lifeboat at the console when the alarm went off. She looked at the parameters that showed the status of the spacecraft, first the energy supply was decreasing, then the energy converted by the energy was insufficient, and then the power, pressure, oxygen supply and other indicators began to decline.
Lucy discovers through system inspection that one of the engines of the lifeboat has been damaged, causing an energy leak. She immediately ordered the control system to stop supplying energy to the damaged engine and shut down its energy input pipe.
Lucy knew that the energy needed for the ship's various systems was supplied by the engines. If one engine is turned off, the entire ship can only be maintained by the only remaining spare engine. As a result, the spacecraft will not have enough energy to require. On the one hand, the spacecraft can only be propelled by conventional power, and cannot be driven by faster-than-light curvature to travel through space, and it will take a long time for her to return to the solar system. On the other hand, she had to choose to spend this long time hibernation in the hibernation module, reducing the energy required for the operation of the spacecraft to a minimum in order to save energy.
After Lucy made up her mind, she set the operating parameters of the lifeboat one by one, and then opened the sleeping chamber and lay down. When the dormant hatch closed, she thought that this thrilling migration journey was finally coming to an end, and that she was about to return to the solar system and return home. A happy smile appeared on her face, and she fell into a long sleep peacefully...
