Chapter 409 Crumbling (Happy Totoro Gagen)

When the Xizhou Alliance and Elon Musk had a verbal battle, the whole world knew about it.

Obviously, the WX asteroid on Double Twelve this year has made many people feel awe of outer space, and now this incident has happened again, and it has become a hot news in the world.

[The International Space Station is at stake, and it is urgent to rescue the astronauts. ]
"Oh My Kar!" - Lucky Bob
"Boeing spacecraft and Dragon spacecraft have failed, what can NASA do to save astronauts?" - Houston Flying Pig
"Maybe you can rent a spaceship from the East Downs to pick up the astronauts." - Optimus Prime
"Why is the International Space Station unable to withstand debris? But the new Kaohsiung Space Station can?" - Please eat black skin watermelon

"@please eat black skin watermelon, racist, roll thick rice grain home." -Martin Luther King Jr.
"@MartinLutherJin, trash all the way, eat watermelon." - Western Cowboy

"The mentally handicapped children above, are they concerned about the lives of the six astronauts on the International Space Station? Or are they arguing about racial discrimination?" - Paradise

"If the International Space Station is destroyed, the human dream of space may be over." - Centaurus

The astronauts on the International Space Station don't know how noisy the ground of Blue Star is, but at this moment they are already in a panic.

Because a group of satellite debris is moving towards the International Space Station at a high speed. Most of these debris are the wreckage of Maoxiong's military satellite. Perhaps the military satellite is relatively strong, and those debris are quite large.

International Space Station - inside the life support module.

Andrew Morgan looked at the situation of the debris tracking network, and said with an ugly face: "We must change orbits, otherwise all that awaits us is death."

Bear astronaut Alexander nodded: "I agree to change the orbit immediately, those debris are too dense, and now the orbit can avoid 80% of these debris."

"Alexander, let's do it right away." Andrew Morgan, as the Milijia astronaut on the International Space Station, and the only male among the three Milijia astronauts, did his part to become the team leader of the International Space Station.

The six astronauts are all in the life support module at this time, and here is their last hope.

Under the leadership of Andrew Morgan and Alexander, they began the orbit change operation and activated the orbital engine control system of the space station.

According to the direction and range of the debris, they quickly adjusted the engine nozzles, and then started the engines to push the space station away from its previous orbit.

Hot tail flames appeared at the engine nozzle, and driven by the reaction force of chemical energy, the International Space Station slowly deviated from its orbit.

Soon there was a change in the orbit of the International Space Station, just a little more effort to take advantage of the classified area leaving the debris.

Suddenly, the alarm system in the space station rang terribly, beep beep...

[The centrifuge adjustment cabin was hit by an unknown object, please close the airtight door of the associated cabin immediately. ]
"Shet! Jessica immediately close the airtight door of the centrifuge cabin." Andrew Morgan cursed angrily.

Jessica immediately controlled the door closing system and closed the airtight door of the centrifuge adjustment cabin.

However, a sudden air leak in the space station affected its direction, and unfortunately the change was for the worse.

Everyone became tense, and suddenly there was a violent vibration, followed by crackling... bumping... crashing sounds.

[alarm!The Node 2 compartment was hit. ]
[alarm!The gimbal docking bay was hit. ]
……

The stern siren sounded like a big stone was pressing on the chests of Andrew Morgan and others.

Even though they were already wearing extravehicular spacesuits, in the face of debris traveling at a speed of more than 7 kilometers per second, even wearing titanium alloy armor was useless.

Suddenly a violent shock came from the space station, and Christina shouted palely: "The multi-purpose logistics module was destroyed by 47%, and the Sun Nation test platform was completely destroyed."

"Close the airtight doors of each compartment immediately." Andrew Morgan roared loudly.

"No, the first cabin of the node, the multi-purpose cargo cabin, and the cantilever of the Maple Leaf Country have completely lost control, and the other cabins have suffered heavy losses." Jessica replied in panic.

"Fack squid." Andrew Morgan had given up resisting, and now he could only resign himself to his fate. The others also looked desperate. In this situation, they had no power to fight back.

10 minutes later.

The entire International Space Station has been scarred, and many parts have disappeared, or separated from the International Space Station.

Especially those solar panels and heat sinks, 75% of the solar panels and heat sinks were lost, and the cantilever of Maple Leaf Country and the test platform of Sun Country were also destroyed.

Andrew Morgan looked at the life support module that was not seriously damaged, and ordered in a trembling tone: "Report the loss of each part."

"The cantilever of Maple Leaf Country and the test platform of Sun Country were completely destroyed, and the universal docking loss was 58%..." The more Christina said, the paler her face became.

The International Space Station has a total of 17 cabins and a large number of ancillary facilities. After being attacked by a debris swarm, about 53% of the ancillary facilities were lost, while the overall loss of each cabin was 34%.

Only the life support module, the docking and storage module, and the Sunland test module were intact, and the other cabins were damaged to varying degrees. The most serious centrifuge adjustment module has been damaged by 84%.

"Jessica, immediately report our situation to the Houston Space Center." Andrew Morgan ordered calmly.

But Jessica remained silent without saying a word.

"Jessica." Andrew Morgan shouted loudly.

Jessica raised her tearful head and said in a crying voice: "The communication system with the ground is no longer available."

"..." Andrew Morgan became a little desperate.

Another bear astronaut, Oleg, said in plain to frightening words: "A bad news, three hours later, we are very likely to encounter another group of debris, the orientation is between 42.73.～56.47. between."

"God! Am I destined to die in the stars!" Spaghetti Nation astronaut Luca drew a sign of the cross on his chest.

The inside of the life support module is very dull, which is the result of not being supplemented with oxygen. If they cannot find a way to leave the International Space Station, even if they escape the attack of the debris group after three hours, they will not survive for long.

Because the oxygen in the life support module can only support the six of them to breathe for about 5 hours, plus the oxygen cylinder that comes with the spacesuit, it can support about 6 hours at most.

As soon as the oxygen is exhausted, they will surely die.

Suddenly Alexander said, "Do you remember the holographic bracelet that the rich man in Qatar forgot on the space station?"

"Holographic bracelet?" Andrew Morgan recalled for a while: "It seems that there is such a thing, why ask this question."

"At that time, the rich man in Qatar used it directly on the space station, and that thing seemed to be able to communicate over long distances." Alexander said.

"Could it be using the network of our space station?" Andrew Morgan doubted the authenticity of it.

"Try it, I'm waiting to die here anyway." Alexander said resolutely.

After hesitating for a while, Andrew nodded and said, "I agree, but who knows where that thing is placed?"

"It seems to be in the docking and storage compartment. It was originally planned to be sent back to the ground, but the spacecraft has never come up." After Luca finished speaking, his resentment towards Boeing and Space Exploration Corporation increased greatly.

Originally, he was going to change guards with others and return to the ground in January, but the spaceship had an accident and he couldn't make it.
