94 Wait a minute
Dudu –
A familiar chime came from the cockpit, alarming the two men and women who were immersed in warmth.
Xu Qing nudged Ou Zhanpeng, and Ou instinctively resisted, and his powerful arms were like copper poured iron, not moving.
"You man!" Xu Qing slapped him, "Let go of me!" ”
"Oh, yes!" Ou Zhanpeng reluctantly let go, in exchange for a roll of Xu Qing's eyes.
Floating into the cockpit and clicking on the news from the earth, Xu Qing's face changed dramatically after only one glance: "Ou Fei-"
The shouts were alarmed and angry, Ou Zhanpeng's heart tightened, and he thought it was an alien attack. But when he floated into the cockpit, he found that there was nothing abnormal on the radar, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
"See for yourself!" Xu Qing gritted her teeth and spat out a sentence.
Is this taking gunpowder?
Ou Zhanpeng was even more confused, but he also changed after just one glance: "How is this possible?" ”
On the news from the base, there is a string of coordinates, and there is also a description, to the effect that in order to land on Mars, the return capsule and various materials consumed during the landing were sent to the surface of Mars in advance, and as long as they landed on Mars to obtain materials, the problems faced by the two of them will inevitably be solved.
Ou Zhanpeng's whole person is not good, why have I eaten contaminated food for so long, and now you tell me that there is still a batch of supplies on Mars?
Xu Qing also looked resentful, what was she afraid of for so many days, and she was so hungry?
At this moment, the mood of the two people is highly consistent, and Ou Zhanpeng almost shouted: "Ask the base, what are they thinking, how long has it been, why didn't you say it earlier!" Do they know what we've been through? ”
Xu Qing immediately sent the news of the questioning back to the base, and in just over ten minutes, he received a reply from the base: "They said that it is too dangerous to land on Mars now, so they waited until now to inform us." ”
After more than ten minutes of buffering, she had calmed down.
Ou Zhanpeng opened his mouth and had nothing to say.
The practice of the base is indeed debatable, but there is no fundamental problem, because when the situation was reported, the amount of remaining materials had already been explained, and according to normal consumption, the two of them must not have finished eating, but there is definitely not much left, this is a message sent out deliberately stuck in time.
The base may have been in no hurry because he knew that there was still a batch of supplies to replenish, but he didn't expect Ou Zhanpeng and Xu Qing to choose to eat contaminated food and leave safe food for their companions; One option is to eat as little as possible, almost having problems with hunger.
Blame the base?
It seems to be able to stand on its feet, but when you think about it, the reason doesn't seem so strong.
Blame yourself?
This is even more, in that case, how can two people eat and drink step by step, without planning for the future at all?
It can only be said that fate makes people and bad luck.
However, after calming down, Ou Zhanpeng's eyes fell on Xu Qing, and he suddenly felt that this wave was not a loss.
At the end, the base did not forget to remind the two of them that the great storm on Mars was still continuing, and if there were any extra provisions, then wait a little longer.
After being silent for a while, Xu Qing said, "Our supplies can still be eaten for more than a month, let's wait and talk." ”
Speaking of this, there was warmth and relief in her eyes, as well as unspeakable blame.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Ou Zhanpeng explained with a smile: "Don't worry, I cut off all the polluted parts, and it will be fine." ”
"If you say it's okay, it's okay." Xu Qing's tone was full of resentment.
I've been eating it for more than a month, what's the point of arguing about whether there's a problem or not?
She set her eyes on Mars, which was shrouded in smoke and dust: "But how do we land on Mars?" Is the drop pod too dangerous? ”
Xu Qing knew that there was an emergency drop capsule on the fighter, and she also knew that there were not only supplies on Mars, but also a return capsule, and Ou Zhanpeng could land in the drop capsule, and then take the return capsule to return to orbit.
The problem is that the use of the drop capsule itself is a technical job, and the altitude and speed must be accurately controlled, and the current Martian storm is in a fierce time, and the extreme wind speed of 180 meters per second can be seen everywhere, even if the drop capsule successfully enters the atmosphere, it is impossible to land safely, and the final result must be to crash headlong on the surface of Mars.
Sure enough, Ou Zhanpeng had a look on his face that teased me: "Don't make trouble, I haven't lived enough, of course it's with a fighter!" ”
"This kind of weather? Will it work? Xu Qing asked.
She doesn't know how to fly, but she doesn't have common sense, and she also knows that such a high wind speed is not suitable for flight at all, let alone a space launch.
"Yes." Ou Zhanpeng said with great certainty.
The multi-functional fighter was originally an air and space fighter that could fight in the atmosphere, and the gravitational pull of the earth was strong, and the fighter could only find an airfield to land after entering the atmosphere, and it had to rely on booster rockets to re-enter space.
However, the gravitational pull of Mars is only 37.5% of that of Earth, and the fighter is fully capable of returning to space under its own power.
Xu Qing didn't believe it at all: "Such a big storm, you told me that it was no problem?" What about when you're flying an alien spaceship? ”
"We don't need alien spaceships, we just need our own fighters." Ou Zhanpeng is full of confidence, "The wind speed is quite high, but the air pressure of Mars is low, the air density is equivalent to 30,000 meters above the earth, and the slightly larger sand particles can't fly, so the wind speed is not important, the key is that the visibility is too low, this is big. Troublesome. ”
Blind landing is a compulsory course for all pilots, but in the vast majority of cases, blind landing is not completely without visibility, and there are not only flat runways on earth, but also perfect guidance facilities.
But on Mars, everything is unknown.
I don't know if the intended landing area is flat, I don't know what the visibility is in the storm, I don't know the airflow changes in the mission area, I don't know the air pressure data, and I can't even figure out where the ground will fall after the fall!
In this case, entering the Martian atmosphere is not called landing, it is purely looking for death!
But then again, since the storm is at its most intense, wait a little longer, and the wind speed should be able to cool down a bit.
Xu Qing was worried: "What if the storm doesn't end in another month?" ”
Ou Zhanpeng did not hesitate: "The mountains and rivers are exhausted, we must take the risk and give it a try, but it really doesn't work, let's fall on Mars together and be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate." ”
"Go aside, who is with you the same fate as the mandarin duck!" Xu Qing glared at someone who was out of tune, "Let's get down to business, can you be serious!" ”
Dotting the layer of window paper, Ou Zhanpeng seemed to open his mind: "Okay, then I'll wait until I'm done talking about the business and then be serious!" ”
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh first.
Xu Qing's mood was obviously very heavy, but let Ou Zhanpeng stir it up like this, it didn't seem to be so depressed.
