A few days later, synchronize the tracks.

Two orbit clearers sail one after the other, navigating the seemingly empty void.

Ou Zhanpeng heard a voice from the base in his ears: "024, continue to descend fourteen kilometers!" ”

"024 received!" Ou Zhanpeng agreed, and steered the rail cleaning ship to continue descending, until he heard the voice of the base in his ears: "It's okay, 1.4 kilometers north!" ”

"Roger!" Continue to adjust the position, and after a while, I heard the instructions from the base again: "It's okay, you have forty minutes to prepare!" ”

"024 understood!"

Ou Zhanpeng closed the line, and Ling Xiao complained in his ears: "Why is it so complicated?" ”

"It's already good, hurry up!"

"Got it."

Ou Zhanpeng stopped the rail cleaning ship on the track, the raw material compartment at the tail was opened, and several different raw materials were quickly mixed together. After waiting for a few seconds, the hatch suddenly opened, and the stirred raw materials suddenly lost pressure and sprayed out of the cabin, expanding thousands of times at an extremely fast speed, turning into a giant cylinder with a diameter of nearly ten meters and a length of more than 100 meters, and wisps of light smoke drifted from the column.

"Base, 024 ready!" Ou Zhanpeng said.

At this moment, the rail-clearing ship has completely changed into a different appearance, with a small hull, with a thick and long solid smoke tail dragging behind the buttocks, which makes people laugh when they look at it.

However, for the sake of this thing, Mu Xingyu and the whole team sacrificed brain cells, and even the ground conducted a lot of experiments, how to form in a short time, how to ensure that the shape is straight enough, how to ensure that the diameter is thick enough, and the most important thing is that the density of this thing is not uniform, but tight on the outside and loose on the inside, to prevent the fragments from penetrating the smoke column because of the deviation.

The command of the base came from the radio, Ou Zhanpeng turned on the autopilot system, the equipment was connected with the satellite, and the orbit clearing ship fine-tuned its attitude through the satellite data, gradually overlapping with the orbit of the reverse debris, and finally remained immobile.

No matter how precise the human hand is, it is impossible to keep it in the same position all the time, and only electronic devices can do this accurately.

As soon as everything was ready, Ou Zhanpeng got up and left, drifted into the rail-clearing boat piloted by Ling Xiao, and quickly opened a safe distance.

As soon as he entered the cockpit, Ling Xiao said shyly: "I don't know if this method will work, but I didn't run away." ”

Ou Zhanpeng fastened his seat belt and replied angrily: "Hurry up and leave yours!" ”

More than ten minutes later, the two received a notification from the base: "The debris is about to arrive, nine, eight, seven ......"

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, okay, it's time to use the countdown!

"Three, two, one!"

When the countdown ended, the two men stared at the No. 024 Orbit Clearing Ship without blinking.

I saw that the translucent cigarette tail that was originally floating quietly in the void suddenly changed color and swirled uncontrollably.

"Did it work?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Right?" Mr. Ou was unsure.

Under the control of the steering system, the ship constantly adjusted its attitude, and it took a full two minutes before it slowly regained its calm.

Ling Xiao drove the spaceship over, turned on the searchlight to observe the tail of the cigarette, and found that the discolored part extended more than 70 meters from the tail end!

Eventually, the two men found a thumb-sized fragment, which was quietly embedded in the center of the cigarette to the right.

Ou Zhanpeng let out a sigh: "It's done!" ”

He immediately reported the good news to the base, and Mu Xingyu, who had been waiting for the news, suddenly showed a look of relief.

Mu Xingyu could still control his emotions, but others didn't have this idea at all, and the space station immediately turned into a sea of joy.

The relative velocity of the fragments and the smoke column is at least thirteen kilometers per second, considering the mass of the fragments, this speed is higher than the discharging speed of the electromagnetic cannon, and the power of the hit can be imagined.

But such a deadly projectile was finally blocked by the smoke column.

Ling Xiao shook his head and exclaimed: "As long as your thoughts don't slip, there are always more ways than difficulties!" ”

Ou Zhanpeng couldn't help laughing: "Why do you feel complaining again?" ”

"Time is also fate, and when it is time to admit it, you can stand up!"

"You're really bent and stretched!"

The two rail-clearing ships slowed down and stopped, and Ou Zhanpeng returned to his ship, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Since the nature of solid smoke is so exaggerated, can it also be used to cover the battleship and be used as a protective layer for the battleship?

Dozens of meters thick solid smoke, not much weight but can block electromagnetic shells, if mixed with some functional ingredients, maybe even the laser can be blocked!

The more he thought about it, the more hopeful he felt, and after returning to the base, he immediately began to write a report and sent it to Mu Xingyu's desk.

Mu Xingyu first swept a few lines, and suddenly found that the situation was wrong, and read it carefully from the beginning, until he finished reading the last word, he raised his head and looked at Ou Zhanpeng with that strange eye: "This is what you wrote?" ”

"Yes, I wrote it." Ou Zhanpeng calmly faced the doubts and was full of confidence.

"You kid, you have a lot of ideas, not bad, very smart!" Mu Xingyu really didn't expect that Ou Zhanpeng could give him such a surprise.

Not only did he propose to cover the battleship with solid smoke, but he also suggested in his report that the surface of Yungong 2 be covered with solid smoke to withstand the impact of debris.

If multiple layers of solid smoke of different thicknesses and densities are laminated together, the thickness of the protective layer can be greatly reduced, but the protective capacity is not reduced, which can be said to be the most suitable protection method for Yungong No. 2 at present.

Mu Xingyu vaguely felt that this report was likely to have a great impact on the future aerospace project.

"You go back first, report to me and take a look." He said.

"Yes!" Ou Zhanpeng agreed, turned around and floated out.

Although he was looking forward to the report, he didn't pay much attention to it, and it didn't take long for him to forget about it.

Mu Xingyu had been thinking about it for a long time before contacting the ground and sending this report to the appropriate department through organizational channels.

Not only that, but he also wrote down his thoughts and attached them to the report.

A report from an ordinary pilot, and a report with the endorsement of the director of the space station, have no different weight!

Mu Xingyu even came up with an idea, Ou Zhanpeng, this kid is really a bit condescending to be a pilot, whether to send him to school for further study, if he is transferred to a scientific research position, he may be able to play a greater role.

But he was not in a hurry, but waited patiently and slowly.

A few days later, news finally came from the ground: the report is extremely feasible, and manual experiments are being organized!

At the same time, there was also a commendation order.

Mu Xingyu let out a sigh of relief and showed a pleased smile: "I know, I know!" ”

He floated up and raised his wrist to connect the phone: "Main station, where is Ou Zhanpeng?" ”

"Orbit clearance mission is underway!"

"Tell him and come see me as soon as he returns!"

"Yes!"
