After moving the wounded to the bridge, Angri immediately performed a simple operation, and in order to suck out all the blood mist produced by the operation, the ship's ventilation system began to pump at full power.

Wang Ping'an used the emergency channel to contact the flight section.

Before the reply from the other side of the flight section came, the receiver of the spacecraft first received a communication from other spacecraft that were relatively close: "The house leak happened to rain overnight, PQ51." ”

This kind of public frequency call without its own radio call sign, as long as it is not too long, everyone does not care who sent it.

Wang Ping'an: "I have a crying little girl here, don't say such impersonal words." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Aoli, who had been silent, shouted excitedly: "Maybe there is a spaceship somewhere that can save my brother, maybe it can just come over!" ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head: "You have no concept of the vastness of the universe. There was a delay of at least 30 seconds between the ship and our communication, and the radio waves traveled at the speed of light, which is nine million kilometers. And if it's not a torch boat, you can't come to us in a straight line, you have to plan a very complicated route. ”

Saying that, Wang Ping'an turned his head to look at the computer's camera: "Computer, how many days will it take for the nearest torch cruiser to come and join us?" ”

"Three weeks." The computer answered immediately.

Wang Ping'an spread his hands: "Look, you can't catch up." ”

Lu Aoli didn't give up, she grabbed the handkerchief that Wang Ping'an wiped her tears just now, she was about to tear the handkerchief, and her finger joints were all white: "Maybe, maybe there's a ship somewhere...... There must be such a ship, it could be a civilian company, it could be a pirate...... Isn't that how stories should be? ”

Wang Ping'an glanced at Angri and found that the other party was busy performing surgery with the cooperation of the robot, and could not look at him.

So he could only retract his gaze and said to Lu Aoli: "In the orbit of Mars, the spacecraft of the private company will also be reported to the Air Traffic Control Commission, and the private company attaches importance to efficiency over morality and justice, even if they can save it, they will not come." ”

Lu Aoli: "What about foreign bigwigs and oligarchs?" Don't they have their own torch yachts? ”

"The number of torch yachts is very small, and even if they want to, they can't catch up. The nearest torch boat to us takes three weeks to arrive, and that's the reality. ”

At this point, Angli sighed, and the two immediately turned their gaze to her.

Angli: "I've tried to prolong his life as much as I can, but ......"

She looked at Lu Aolei with pity.

Lu Aoli cried: "I can still support it." ”

"An hour at most." "And...... I don't know if he will be able to regain consciousness, theoretically it is unlikely that he will be able to regain consciousness, but ...... Who knows. Another option is to inject combat stimulants, which should allow him to wake up temporarily, but the effects of stimulants will not be too long-lasting, and I recommend waiting until the critical time to use them. ”

Lu Aoli patted the table: "What critical time?" Could there be a more critical time than now? ”

Wang Ping'an said in a voice as restrained as possible: "Yes." That's when the ground finds your parents and prepares to make a final call with your brother. ”

At this time, the reply from the flight section came: "PQ51, this is the ground fire flight section." We are bringing Lu Fengxian's family to the communication center. How long can you guarantee him to live? Complete. ”

Wang Ping'an: "This is PQ51, call the ground fire service section, we can still guarantee an hour's life, and we have not yet used combat doping." Complete. ”

After ending the call, Wang Ping'an continued to turn his head to look at Lu Aoli, trying to reassure her: "If you want to live in space in the future, this level of risk will always be around, of course, it will be much better in a large permanent space station." ”

Lu Aoli gently wiped her tears and said in a choked voice: "I don't understand, I don't see that accidents in the pre-aerospace era were not so frequent, and the spaceships in the pre-aerospace era were very safe, right?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "That's because the spacecraft of the pre-aerospace era were all manufactured with excellence, and there were countless engineers and skilled workers who repeatedly inspected them, and even in this case, there were still some accidents."

"In addition, at that time, the spaceship was generally used once, and even if it was a spaceship that could be recycled, it would not run for decades.

"But you see, now our spacecraft are all mass-produced models, and they have been flying in the universe for many years, and countless problems with various parts have been repaired, the maintenance time between two voyages is short, and the maintenance workers are also of various proficiency.

"In addition, the overall accident rate of spaceships is not high, after all, there are so many spaceships flying now. Although there are only more than 10 million people working in the universe, you see, one such spaceship only needs two people to drive, and this kind of magic is called automation.

"There are countless ships operating between the earth and fire right now, and we are the only ones who have problems. Statistically speaking, this probability is actually quite low. It's just that your brother happens to be the one who encountered the accident...... Person. ”

Wang Ping'an originally wanted to say "that unlucky guy", but he temporarily turned around and said "that person".

Lu Aoli was silent.

Angeli floated up to her and put her hand on her shoulder.

Lu Aoli said softly: "I actually ...... I hate my brother, he always steals the snacks I hid, and in the name of helping me lose weight, I obviously don't get fat.

"Other people's elder brothers, when they see the boys in the class bullying their sisters, will take action, but he is the one who bullied me the most, until I learned Sanda in the Children's Palace.

"Really, think about it, I don't ...... when he dies There is nothing to lose at all! ”

Wang Ping'an suddenly said: "You can't say that, just now in order to report to the flight section, I watched the video, and he chose to save you at the last moment." At least at this last minute, he's a good brother. ”

Lu Aoli: "But this kind of thing will happen, it's because he acted without permission!" ”

"In theory, it does. But I wouldn't say such a heartless thing. I think you will never forget the lesson this time, and you don't need me to educate you. ”

At this time, the communication of the flight section came again: "PQ51, Lu Fengxian's parents are on their way here, they should arrive at 1100 o'clock today, please inject combat doping in advance to make him regain consciousness." ”

Wang Ping'an looked at the time displayed on the main screen, and found that there were no more minutes, so he muttered: "It's coming quite quickly." ”

Lv Aoli: "Our home is in the city where the headquarters of the Air Traffic Management Commission is located. ”

Wang Ping'an: "Prepare to inject combat doping, it will take time for this thing to wake him up." ”

Angeli immediately took out the osmotic syringe: "I injected the maximum dose directly, anyway, he doesn't have to worry about any sequelae or other problems." ”

"Execute. I approved it as the commander. ”

After the injection, Angli said: "There is another question, his vocal cords are basically finished, how do you make him vocal?" We don't have a device to scan brain waves. ”

Wang Ping'an was about to answer, when Lu Fengxian's throat hissed.

The three men on the bridge turned their heads to look at him together.

The boy opened his eyes, his pupils were noticeably wide and not diagonal, but he did come back to life.

He hissed, and was struggling to speak with his broken vocal cords.

Angli: "Your vocal cords are broken, and we're still working on how to get you to talk......"

At this time, Wang Ping'an grabbed Angli and told her not to be quiet.

The boy is tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of a chair – he is now being secured to facilitate space surgery.

Wang Ping'an didn't have to listen to it, he guessed that it was Morse code, and immediately took a tablet pad under his wrist and let the tapping fall on the touch screen of the tablet.

Wang Ping'an: "Give him a knock with the click of a telegram in ancient times." ”

If you can't hear the sound and only rely on the sense of touch to knock, the child may not be able to knock accurately, after all, he is still a child.

The sound of dripping sound on the bridge.

"I'm sorry," said the boy, "for not following orders." Please punish me, my sister is not at fault, she has been holding me back. ”

Wang Ping'an: "You will be punished, but not by us." ”

The sound of Didi stopped for a moment, and silence fell.

The silence lasted for a full three seconds, and then the sound of Didi sounded again:

"I thought modern medicine was developed enough."

"Yes, but we're a cargo ship, and we don't have a full-fledged medical station." It was Angli who answered him, "I'm sorry, I ...... We've done our best. ”

Didi's voice paused for a second, and then continued: "How long do I have left?" ”

"You'll be able to stay awake for about twenty or thirty minutes, after which the effects of the combat doping will fade." Wang Ping'an said, "As for your life, well, maybe an hour? ”

Didi asked, "Can I still talk to my parents anymore?" ”

"Your parents are on their way to the ground communications center, about 1100 hours."

"That's good," the boy responded, "my mother has a big temper and likes to play with privileges, and if she doesn't make it clear to her, she'll be tireless in trouble." ”

Wang Ping'an frowned: "Your father is a winner of the Labor Medal, can these two people get together?" ”

"My dad and mom were childhood sweethearts." Lu Aoli replied, "After the war, they met again and got married immediately. ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and asked: "My father also got married immediately after the war, and I will have it in a few years, and now I am 27 years old, and the age of the two of you is not right." ”

Lu Aoli: "Because my father will immediately go to build a new frontier." ”

As soon as the words fell, Didi's voice sounded again: "The relationship between my father and my mother is not very good, and my mother always says that my father can have a medal, all by relying on his own drill camp, but my father thinks that it is the result of his hard work." Thank you for saving me, and I'll make it clear to my mom. ”

As soon as Wang Ping'an was about to answer, the communication rang, starting with the voice of the announcer of the communication center: "PQ51, this is the ground center, and the next time is the time for the parents of Lu Fengxian and Lu Aoli to talk." ”

Then an eager female voice came in, and it sounded full of style: "How are you, my darling, who harmed you?" Mom must do justice for you! ”

The woman's voice stopped abruptly and was replaced by a man's calm voice: "What are you shouting?" How can the Space Force harm people! In front of so many space force leaders! ”

"I'm going to say! Our children are so well-behaved! ”

Then there was a static noise, and after the communication was restored, it was the calm bass: "I am Lu Fengxian's father, and my son has caused you trouble." I knew it must have been his idea, and we kept trying to teach him well, but it looked like it was failing. I ......"

The bass gradually lost its calm, and in order not to lose control at the end, the voice was cut off.

Wang Ping'an waited for a few seconds, and after making sure that there was no follow-up, he moved the microphone to the boy's hand and said: "I am the commander of PQ51, Lu Fengxian has lost the ability to speak, but he can still use his hands to type Morse code, and then hand over the time to him first." ”

After speaking, Wang Ping'an lowered the head of the microphone a little and faced the tablet.

The boy began to tap his fingers on the tablet.

"Dad, this accident was because I disobeyed the order, and the commander told us to stay on the bridge and not move easily, but I disobeyed the order, which resulted in damage to the airlock airlock door......"

It's strange that Wang Ping'an always thinks that he can hear the boy's emotions and tone from the ticking sound.

It's just a series of ticks.

**

On the bridge of the EM71 cargo ship, the loudspeaker is playing the sound of the drops.

The two astronauts with playing cards forgot to play cards and listened quietly.

"It's a pity, he's a good boy, just naughty." One of them said.

"Yes, if you are on the ground, you can still be a good seedling if you receive an education."

**

On the PQ17 spacecraft, the astronauts sitting in front of the console gently adjusted the knob to make the sound of Didi clearer.

Behind him, his partner, who was sketching a toy spaceship with a sketchbook, flipped a page, and quickly picked up the image of a child with tears in his eyes on the blank paper.

**

At this moment, all the spacecraft that could receive this radio were listening quietly.

In the cold universe, the radio waves with temperature spread like ripples.

The long dripping sound finally ended.

Silence temporarily returned to the world made up of radio waves.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a voice from nowhere: "Go all the way, kid." ”

"We'll all go over there sooner or later, you give us a way first."

"You'll be a senior then, kid."

Tick-tock Morse code reverberates through the universe.

**

Wang Ping'an silently turned up the volume to the maximum.

He whispered to the boy, "Look, the Space Force fighters have forgiven you. ”

Lu Fengxian couldn't make a sound, only hot teardrops slipped from the corners of his eyes.

At this time, a reply from Earth came, and a deep male voice said, "Child, you don't have to worry. Your mom is always going to make trouble, but that's just the right way to distract her and keep her from being so upset. I heard a briefing from the leader of the Space Force, and he said that you finally protected your sister. You're doing a great job and let your sister do it for you...... ...... for you Take care of our old couple. ”

Wang Ping'an guessed that just now the man wanted to say "love our old couple for you", but he didn't say it after all.

Wang Ping'an looked at Lu Aolei: "You can also say a few words." ”

"I ...... Let's let my brother say it. I...... I still have time. ”

Wang Ping'an turned his head, but found that the boy had already fallen asleep, although there was still a heartbeat on the heart rate display next to him.

Angli: "Say it, kid. ”

Only then did Lu Aoli speak: "Brother, he ...... I've already fallen asleep, and I don't know if I'll be able to wake up. I'll take my brother's place, Dad, Mom, don't worry. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she waited for a few minutes, and the response from the ground came, it was the voice of the woman just now, she was already hysterical: "Lei Lei, was it your brother's message just now?" Is the Space Force deceiving? Leilei, you're honest! ”

"Enough!" The man interjected, "Don't be ashamed! ”

"Lu Xiaoou! Do you think that if this happens, your honor will still be there? Don't think about it at home anymore! You will be able to do it before us! My sons are dying......"

"My son and I are good friends, I know, that's what he said! Well, the call is over. Comrade, we have nothing more to say! ”

"We have! We have! Lei Lei! ”

Here the communication was interrupted for a moment, and then it was replaced by a girl from the communication center: "Now the family is more excited, if the boy can still wake up, you can record another last word." The family asks for the body to be reincarnated and returned, and the intact body is to be handed over to the gendarmes upon arrival on Mars. ”

Wang Ping'an: "Understood. ”

As soon as he finished replying to this sentence, the heartbeat indicator next to Lu Fengxian made a "pi" sound, and the waveform became a straight line.

Lu Aoli burst into tears.
