Chapter 36 Harsh Space

Lu Fengxian asked suspiciously: "The space army will also throw the blame?"

Wang Pingan: "We won't, but the guy sitting at the desk will. Have you ever seen an old movie called "Garland Under the Mountain"? In it, there is a deputy company commander named Jin Kailai who offended the guy sitting at the desk. The guy who died in battle didn't even get a medal."

Wang Pingan seemed to recall the scene in the movie, pounded the table vigorously, and then added: "The most annoying thing there is the propaganda officer wearing glasses, especially hateful!"

Angeli comforted: "Okay, we haven't seen that movie, so it's useless for you to tell us. Let's think about what to do, or should we kick the ball back?"

Wang Pingan shook his head: "That won't work. If you waste one more second, you will have to throw away more things. Let's take action. I think first throw away the powered exoskeleton they drove, and then you can throw away a lot of mass."

Lu Fengxian immediately protested: "What if the spaceship is in danger?"

Wang Pingan: "It's dangerous, of course you two are wearing our spacesuits."

"What about you guys?"

Wang Ping'an shrugged: "Try to survive, maybe you can find some oxygen in a maintenance compartment until rescue arrives."

The two children were shocked by the answer that Wang Pingan gave in an understatement tone, and they were speechless for a long time.

Wang Pingan turned his head and ordered to Angeli: "Let's go, let's move the power armor of the two children to the airlock... I remember that there is a problem with the A2 airlock, so let's go to A1 and take off the spacesuit first."

Angeli: "Got it."

After a while, both of them emerged from their spacesuits.

Lu Aolei said in an unbelievable tone: "Sister, have you really not adjusted?"

"No."

"Then is there a princess in your ancestors?" the little girl asked full of longing.

Wang Pingan: "She has 'de' in her name, so she should be a nobleman."

Lu Aolei was startled: "Isn't it? She's really a princess!"

"Hmph, her ancestors must have eaten people during the Black Death." Lu Fengxian said firmly.

Angeli: "Actually, Daide in the name does not necessarily mean aristocrats. In the past, common people did not have surnames. After the king issued a decree requiring everyone to have surnames, they used whoever they were as their surnames. That's how I am. The literal translation of my name is Angelie of Lyons, 'de' is a preposition equivalent to 'of'."

Lu Aolei: "Then do you live in Lyon? What kind of city is that?"

Angelie: "I live in Paris."

"Is Paris beautiful?" Lu Aolei asked again.

"very beautiful."

Wang Pingan interrupted the conversation: "Okay, we are going to drive your power armor. I only removed the identification code on the frame, and the body itself is still good. Angel, have you been trained to drive power armor? "

"of course."

Lu Fengxian: "We are here to help!"

"Don't move!" Wang Pingan yelled, "Be honest. People who have not received space training are prone to danger if they move around on the spacecraft. Do you know that some folks who take a passenger ship to Mars every year will be injured or even lose their lives? Contempt The universe will pay the price."

Half an hour later, through the window of the A1 airlock, Wang Pingan looked at the two power armors placed in the airlock that had been dismantled into small parts, as well as the oxygen cylinders, circulation devices, solar panels, etc. that matched the armor. wait.

Wang Ping'an muttered: "Damn the highest-level cosmic summer camp. When I was a child, I was so envious that they could come to L2 to wear this thing. I can only drive BALL in low-earth orbit to chase the spy satellites left by the Americans."

Angeli: "Commander, I have to remind you that every second is wasting our Delta."

Wang Pingan grabbed the "abandon" handle on the airlock and pulled it to the bottom.

The disassembled power armor and the air in the airlock were sprayed into space with a "poof".

Wang Pingan: "Computers and lasers irradiate fragments that exceed the specified size."

Computer: "Irradiating."

The purpose of dismantling the power armor is to prevent it from becoming a meteorite that would threaten later ships. However, some things that cannot be disassembled in the ship, such as oxygen cylinders, are cut by the laser system used to cut meteorites on the ship.

Wang Pingan looked at the estimate of the mass that needs to be discarded on his tablet, and said, "Okay, the rest is troublesome. I suggest that we throw away all the snacks in the shipping container, after all, the box has already been opened." .

"Similarly, there are other boxes that have been opened. Let's throw away all the contents first."

Angeli asked worriedly: "Do we have the means to quickly move the bulk cargo to the A1 airlock? It's really exhausting to rely on people to carry it over and over again."

"It's very simple. We have drones for maintenance. The drones have the power to move in a zero-gravity state. We can make a net and walk around with things."

Angelie: "Where did you get the net?"

Wang Pingan: "Use the fashion in the goods to change it. Those fabrics can be woven into bags after being chopped. We need an automatic weaving machine, which can be composed of a maintenance robot arm and a Raspberry Pi. Just write a program. .”

Angeli looked at Wang Ping'an and suddenly smiled: "You look like a child who is about to get a big toy."

"Really? But this is indeed much more interesting than passing the time every day, let's do it."

**
A day later, a simple cargo drone was created.

Angeli looked at the net woven with the thread drawn from the fashion, and complained: "I thought what you said was weaving a net with fashion, you meant tearing the fashion into strips and dealing with it one by one, but you actually took all those clothes Disassembled into threads and re-weaved nets?"

Wang Pingan shrugged: "I was going to tear the cloth strips, but after studying the clothes, I found that the threading is quite simple, so I did it. You just say that the weaving is beautiful?"

"Beautiful, indeed. So let's start with fashion?"

"No, what if I need to weave something else with clothes? Let's start with snacks. If you don't throw away these snacks, the two children will eat them and ruin their health."

"Okay. Don't pretend to eat while pretending!"

"no way!"

At this moment, Angeli suddenly looked behind Wang Ping'an. When Wang Ping'an turned around, he saw the brothers and sisters of the Lu family floating over.

Lu Fengxian, who was alive and kicking again after a day, said, "We are here to help!"

"Go back! Didn't I tell you that untrained people in the universe are dangerous?"

Lu Fengxian said disapprovingly: "Before we were discovered, we hid in the warehouse for fifteen weeks, and nothing happened at all."

"No! You have shown signs of underestimating the dangers in the universe. Such people are the most prone to accidents. As the commander, I order you to return to the bridge." Wang Pingan said with a cold face.

Lu Fengxian wanted to be stubborn, but Wang Pingan said again: "This is not a place where you can play your temper, obey the management! Otherwise, I will lock you into the air gate!"

Lu Fengxian obviously hesitated, he grabbed the pillar next to him, stopped floating, and even grabbed his sister.

Wang Pingan: "Go back to the bridge."

"Okay." The boy drooped his head like a wilted vegetable.He first pushed his sister towards the bridge, and then climbed up a pillar to catch up with her.

Seeing the figures of the two leaving, Wang Ping'an muttered: "This boy is a bit like me who just graduated from the Space Flight Academy. What risks are beyond our control.

"This mentality can cause accidents. No one can rely on strong luck to get out of danger again and again."

Angeli said: "Maybe they should be here to help pack things. That way we can at least watch them and keep them from getting into trouble."

Wang Pingan: "You are right, then shall I call them out again?"

Angeli: "If the order is changed every day, don't you have no authority? We are soldiers. If your rank is higher than mine, I have to obey. Children don't care about rank. Wait until tomorrow. Anyway, we have to throw away things for a few days. "

Wang Pingan nodded: "Okay, let's start dismantling the container. I think... oh, this one is good. It's a wine transporter. This thing is still a dangerous product. No one can say anything after throwing it away."

Angeli: "Isn't the wine very expensive? Throw away some cheap ones? Look here is a container of light industrial products. Mars should be able to produce light industrial products, right?"

"Yes, but some Martians just think that the quality of the earth's products is good. In addition, the general appearance and human-machine interface of the earth's products are better, and the things produced by Mars itself are rustic, durable and silly."

"Okay, let's take this apart."

"Wait a minute, I'm the commander! You're just an operator. Do you understand that I have the right to make the decision? I've decided now to unpack the box of this light industrial product!"

Angorie laughed out loud.

**
When the Lu brothers and sisters returned to the bridge, the older brother Lu Fengxian whispered to his younger sister, "Hey, let's go out quietly to help."

"Didn't the commander just drive us back?"

"Let's not let him see it. Let me tell you, I watched the surveillance video inside the ship and read it. They will not use the A2 airlock, because the airlock was broken and repaired. Look at the design drawing, A2 is better than A1 Closer to the warehouse!"

Lu Aolei said worriedly: "Is this going to happen? They are all astronauts, and they don't use this A2, which means they think it is unreliable. We still..."

"It's all fixed! The spaceship won't sail without repairs. They just stayed in space for a long time, and they are timid! We made a mistake now. If we help, maybe we can make up for it! You don't want to see Dad disappointed look?"

Hearing "Papa's disappointed expression", Lu Aolei, who was about to object, hesitated.

The elder brother continued: "And, if we help, the Space Force may reward us! Don't you want a reward from the Space Force?"

Lu Aolei: "Dad will say at this time, we don't work for rewards!"

"Don't worry about it, we are helping now, which also reflects our enthusiasm! I am a member of the Young Pioneers, and you are a reserve member!"

Lu Aolei was finally persuaded, she bit her lip: "Okay! We will make up for it!"
