94. You never imagined that anything would fly into space
[Tianmen Space Station Mission Log (The sixth handover, this station: Li Zhiguo, Lin Xiaoai, Zhao Dong, Sun Qing. )]
[Handover time: 18th month of the station.] ]
[Mission Objective: Complete the installation and commissioning of the optical capsule, observe and study the asteroid "year" in low Earth orbit]
[Day 1: The handover was successfully completed, and we carried three months of mission supplies.]
The former station staff returned to the ground safely in the return capsule, and the new optical module successfully docked with the Tianmen space station itself. ]
[Day 2: We checked the connection stability of the new optical chamber, confirmed that it was normal, and performed preliminary debugging of the experimental instruments of the new optical chamber. ]
[Day 3: The experiment begins, and we begin to observe the year in space, making data records.]
Because the two team members were boarding the station for the first time, the actual operation was a little jerky, but everyone made rapid progress and the experiment went smoothly. ]
[……]
[Day 7: Emergency!] The solar wing collided with space junk and was badly damaged. We must get out of the capsule as soon as possible to carry out maintenance tasks, otherwise the power system of the space station will not be sufficient to provide daily operations.
An application has been made to carry out the out-of-cabin mission, and the ground is waiting for the ground to reply to the environmental information, so that the executors can determine the out-of-cabin time. ]
[Day 8: The mission is suspended, the Xihe satellite photographed an anomaly of solar activity, a 470,000-kilometer-long flame erupts on the surface of the sun, and a large amount of high-energy radiation is released. We will wait for the end of the geomagnetic storm before continuing our mission.
(Geomagnetic storms?) Wouldn't it be possible to go to Mobei to see the aurora? )
(Xiao Ai!) Don't make a noise when the captain makes a voice recording! )
(Oh...... I forgot, sorry. )]
[……]
[Day 12: The geomagnetic storm weakens, and the departure time is tentatively scheduled for 14:00.]
Personnel out of the warehouse this time: Li Zhiguo, Zhao Dong, Lin Xiaoai.
Left-behind personnel: Sun Qing
The extravehicular mission was originally normal, but during the period, there was a sudden communication failure for unknown reasons, resulting in the extravehicular personnel not receiving timely danger alerts.
A small piece of space junk hit Zhao Dong, and the impact caused his left arm to be fractured, but fortunately, the spacesuit was not cut.
He got the job done.
We returned to the cabin and performed a simple immobilization and anti-inflammatory treatment, but the medical environment in the cabin was too harsh for further surgical treatment.
(Sun Qing, what the hell are you eating?!) So big pieces of debris you don't warn! )
(I really warned!) Didn't you listen to the correspondence? )
(How could there be a communication failure at such a short distance?) There was no interference just now! )
(But it's a glitch!) )
(Stop arguing!) Captain Lee is making a record! Hiss - it doesn't hurt, whew, it doesn't hurt or it hurts, it'll be fine in a while...... When I get home, I might even get a second-class merit, haha. )]
[Day 37:
The experiment went well, and Zhao Dong's arm had recovered a lot. But Sun Qing has always been haunted by the events of that day, and he has been soaking in the communication room and optical cabin outside the mission to find the cause of the failure......
Lin Xiaoai's wedding date is set, and she has been wandering around with photos for the past two days, and when she sees people, she asks, "How do you know that I will go to get the certificate with this handsome guy in the photo on the seventh day of next year?" "Like a fisherman......
(Team!) Long!!! How can you say this in the mission log! )
(Hahaha, public execution!) )
It is also the captain's responsibility to comprehensively record the status of the players, who let you get off the list. Captain, I'm not a communiqué personal vendetta, hehe~
(Phew!) )]
[……]
[Day 45:
Sun Qing seemed to have made a discovery.
He reported to me today for a ...... It's a bit of a ridiculous thing.
He said he monitored the changes in the magnetic field, combined with a top-down observation of the North Pole Aurora, and found ...... There seems to be an invisible magnetosphere hidden in the solar system!
This is a bit unbelievable.
Unseen? That means that the gravitational pull of the other party is so great that even light can't escape, at least at the level of a black hole. But if there were such black holes in the solar system, we would have been pulled into noodles long ago.
But he was very firm in his judgment and invited me to look at the experimental data.
(The star has been releasing magnetic fields in the form of pulses from time to time, or rather...... Its gravitational pull is in a state of flux, between infinitesimal and infinitesimal. )
That's impossible.
(I don't want to believe it, but the effects of these magnetic fields are getting stronger.) And if this trend continues to intensify, even the communication between us and the ground command will be disrupted, and even ...... Lost contact. )
Compile a copy of the experimental data and send it to the ground.
(Well, it's already been sent, but I don't know if the ground can see it.) After all, we send a lot of data down every day, and the ground has recently been more focused on the minerals that may be stored in the 'year'. )
Trust Command, there are a lot of scholars down there, and if you prioritize your data, they'll notice.
(Or they'll think I'm justifying my previous failures by posting an outrageous fake data...... )]
[Day 55:
Communication was interrupted again, this time for a full 14 hours from the ground.
This is the fourth time this month that there have been communication problems.
Xihe did not give a warning of solar activity, not the sun.
That's the communicator thing, or......
The ground asked me to check the communication equipment over and over again, but we confirmed that the communication equipment was absolutely fine.
Command said it might be the after-effects of the impact on the solar wings, and told us to recheck it several times.
But we can vouch for the training we have received over the years, and the links in this period are absolutely ...... Absolutely no glitches!
(Forget the boss, the ground doesn't believe us.) )
(I can't say that, it's just that Command has been busy lately, and the asteroid probe is about to be launched.) )]
[Day 65:
The first asteroid probes were successfully launched, and it was a lot of relief to watch those points of light rise from the clouds and pass us not far away.
There have been no communication interruptions recently, and we will be able to go home in another month.
But Sun Qing is not optimistic about this.
(Captain, I hope we can enter a state of emergency.) )
Why?
(Based on the EMP cycle I calculated earlier, the recent lull is just a prelude to a bigger storm.) Perhaps the next time the pulse comes, we will be completely out of touch with the ground. )
Can you take responsibility for what you say?
(I vouch for my life.) )
……
How long later?
(Two months.) )
We have a month left before we can leave.
(Captain, I suggest...... Let's not be too optimistic, we have recently observed several satellites falling for unknown reasons. On the ground, the launch interval of the supply rocket is also to be re-evaluated. )
Call...... Then you say...... What to do?
(Starting today, we should minimize physical exertion and thus reduce the rate of food and oxygen consumption.) )
What if there is an out-of-cabin mission? It takes a strong body and you can't go hungry.
(Three people can be hungry, one person is full, and he is alone on the mission of going out of the cabin.) )
This...... Unruly.
(As the first outpost of human security, we have an obligation to make the right decisions ourselves at critical moments, through our own judgment.) )
…… Give me your experimental data, Zhao Dong, Lin Xiaoai, come and find out the faults in this data! ]
[Day 66:
The experimental data were fine, and the "thrifty" plan was implemented.
Mission Objective Change –
Do whatever it takes! Survive the next storm! Until communication is restored!
We'll find out the culprit! ]

[Day 124:
Tianmen Space Station Routine Call Command ......
I'm Li Zhiguo......
Just now, Comrade Lin Xiaoai passed away.
Zhao Dong didn't hold it up a month ago......
There are still me and Sun Qing left.
Sun Qing had just handed me his last supplies, and my supplies ...... It hasn't moved at all.
Hehe, I'm such a parasite, hehahaha......
The next round of storms has just begun, Sun Qing said, and this time it will last for two months.
If he stops breathing now, the remaining oxygen and supplies will be enough for me to last until the next time communication is restored.
Then, I can send the information I have observed with my own eyes back to the ground.
The time to resume communication should be on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and I just need to hold on until that day.
By the way, that day was also Xiao Ai's big day......
How about me? Clearly...... (choking) ...... Obviously, she should have persevered until that day......
You guys, you're really ......
It's cruel!
I was left alone to face these two months.
I'm just a captain, but I'm a little older, and I'm not a god!
Is there a God in this world?
If so, check it out here......
Look at this lonely island floating in the infinite darkness, look at us, look at the people on the ground......
Are they alright? ]
[...... I don't know how many days:
Unfortunately, the watch was broken.
I don't know how long it will be on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but most of the instruments on this space station are broken.
There weren't enough people to fix it, so I had to make sure the optical cabin and the communicator were in good working order.
But the seventh day of the Lunar New Year should be approaching, right?
Damn, where the hell did that asteroid come from? It went to Earth......
The ground must be notified as soon as possible! This is the reason why I am still alive!
Although I don't know if the message can be received on the ground......
"The first call of the Tianmen space station to the ground, the first call of the Tianmen space station to the ground......]
[……]
At this moment, Li Zhiguo's eyes were floating in the optical room with dull eyes.
It has the largest window in the entire space station, with a clear view of the ground and the entire spectacular star ring.
His throat was no longer vocal, and the oxygen had thinned to the limit, making it difficult for him to stay awake.
This made him know one thing - today, it is likely to be the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
If Sun Qing's kid hadn't miscalculated, he would have stopped breathing today.
The strong desire to be sleepy made his eyelids fight, but he held on, staring at the blue planet.
If you really want to die, you have to imprint it on the retina, and you won't forget it even when you go underground.
His eyes glazed over, his consciousness becoming more and more hazy.
Exhaustion finally closed his eyelids.
Darkness was eating away at his vision, like a stage curtain that was gradually closing.
Until the curtain closes completely.
"Knock-"
The sound of tapping close at hand awakened Li Zhiguo's consciousness, and he couldn't help but open his eyes in confusion.
Then, his mouth opened uncontrollably.
Li Zhiguo will never forget that scene for the rest of his life.
——The man rode on the scaly dragon's head, the extreme cold of space condensed a layer of frost on his body, and the thunder and lightning jumped and flickered on the dragon's mane around him, and he didn't care, just grinned widely, and made a mouth shape:
Hey~ Are you homesick?
