Earth Era

Chapter 191: Catapult

As long as they can live, no one in this world wants to die. Zhao Lan is like this, An Liya is like this, Zhou Xiaoming and Cruise are like this. Even everyone in this world is like that. The decision to die with this spaceship was made only because of desperation, and there was really no other way. After all, compared with one's own life, the future of human civilization is more important. It would be perfect if you could have the best of both worlds, accomplishing tasks and saving your own life.

​​

Therefore, after Zhao Lan said "I have a solution", the three of Zhou Xiaoming stood up immediately. An Liya even stepped in front of Zhao Lan in one step, holding Zhao Lan's hand tightly: "Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan, what do you think of?"

​​

Zhao Lan bit her lip tightly, thinking hard in her mind. The flash of inspiration just now was just a thought. Zhao Lan must grasp this thought, and then improve it, and finally form a perfect plan.

​​

While thinking hard, Zhao Lan said slowly: "The time difference between the chasing soldiers and us is half an hour, which means...that is to say...as long as we can leave this spaceship early, and then find a way to Survive in space for half an hour, and then a military spacecraft will find us, and they will definitely save us back."

​​

"However, how can we survive in space for half an hour?" Anlia asked immediately.

​​

Humans will not die if they are briefly exposed to the vacuum environment of the universe, but the upper limit of this time is only a few seconds. After these few seconds, the human body will suffer serious and irreversible damage. will die and become a cold stone in the universe. To survive in space for half an hour without any life support equipment...it's impossible, no one can do that.

​​

Zhao Lan thought hard, grasping the point of "leaving the spaceship to survive for half an hour", trying to retrieve the flash of aura that had just disappeared. As Zhao Lan thought about it, a complete plan gradually appeared in Zhao Lan's mind. Zhao Lan glanced at the timer. It showed a countdown of fifty-nine minutes, which was probably enough time to execute the plan, so Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

​​

"Naturally we can't survive in the cosmic vacuum without any protective equipment for half an hour... But, but! The maintenance cabin can support at least two hours. We just need to put the maintenance cabin before the spacecraft explodes. Find a way to get off the hull of the spaceship, and leave the spaceship, we can escape the explosion of the hydrogen bomb! At that time, we just need to drift in the universe. Waiting for the rescue of the military combat spaceship! "

​​

"This hydrogen bomb spacecraft was originally designed under my leadership. I am familiar with every part of its structure. Although I never thought about separating the maintenance cabin from the hull of the spacecraft when it was built, I thought carefully about it. For a moment, I think it's totally doable to get it out of the ship! Especially if we have a mechanical genius."

​​

Zhao Lan spoke eagerly, and explained his idea in one breath.

​​

This plan is actually very simple, but before, everyone ignored this idea from the subconscious. Because both Zhao Lan and An Liya subconsciously regarded the spacecraft as a whole. At this critical juncture of life and death, only Zhao Lan thought of this.

​​

Zhou Xiaoming and An Liya's eyes lit up. At the same time, he put his eyes on Cruise: "How about bald, can you do it?"

​​

Cruise thought nervously for a while, and then said very quickly: "There are two problems with your idea, one, this hydrogen bomb spacecraft is not a special manned spacecraft, and it does not have a complete life support system on it. , the only thing that can sustain us is this maintenance cabin, so how can we carry out construction outside the maintenance cabin? After all, we want to separate the maintenance cabin from the hull, and it is impossible to do this without external construction. ."

​​

"Second point. Even if we successfully separate the maintenance cabin from the hull, where does its power come from? Don't forget, the maintenance cabin and the spacecraft have the same direction and degree of motion at this moment, if there is no additional propulsion equipment Even if it is separated from the hull, it will move with the spacecraft, and it will inevitably be affected by the hydrogen bomb, so there is no point in separating the maintenance compartment."

​​

Cruise's mind is very sharp. The moment after Zhao Lan proposed this idea, Cruise thought of these two questions. Zhao Lan thought for a moment. He also began to answer in very fast words: "The first problem is easy to solve, you must know that we do not need to separate the entire maintenance cabin, we can completely separate only a part of the maintenance cabin, such as the one we are staying in now. This room. In this case, we are doing construction inside the maintenance cabin, and we don't need to go outside the maintenance cabin."

​​

"Second point, about the power issue... Cruise, you need to solve this problem. You have to look in the maintenance cabin to see if there is any tool that you can use to make a thruster out. "

​​

Cruise thought for a moment, then immediately said, "Okay, let me try it."

​​

"That's good." Zhao Lan continued: "Cruise, I am familiar with the structure of the spacecraft. I will explain its general structure to you and draw a sketch for you. Zhou Xiaoming, An Liya, you two check us. The airtightness of the room you are staying in, if its airtightness is not enough, you guys should find something to fix it.”

​​

Zhao Lan glanced at the timer again, and found that there were only fifty-six minutes left, so he stopped talking, grabbed the paintbrush, and hurriedly drew a sketch, and then took Cruise to learn about the spacecraft maintenance. The approximate structure of the cabin, Zhou Xiaoming and An Liya immediately began to check the sealing performance of this room.

​​

Everyone understands what this action means. The ever-decreasing time is like a death-trigger talisman, making people not dare to relax at all. Everyone began to get busy and began to struggle for the continuation of their lives.

​​

Cruise got to work immediately after getting a general understanding of the maintenance bay and the structure of the ship's hull in the area. There are all kinds of handy tools in the maintenance cabin, and these tools play a role at this moment. I saw Cruise unscrew a screw from here, remove a cover from there, or saw off a steel column from here... Cruise's actions seem to be completely out of order, and there is no connection between them, But Zhao Lan knew that Cruise must have a complete plan of action in his head directing his actions.

​​

After being busy for about ten minutes, after Cruise sawed off the last steel column, Zhao Lan suddenly felt that the room he was in shook. Cruise wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I have successfully separated this room from the spaceship hull."

​​

Zhao Lan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Good job! Now it's time to solve the problem of the power system. Hurry up and look around to see if you can find something that can be used to make a thruster?"

​​

Cruise shook his head: "It's unrealistic to make a thruster now. Not to mention that there are not enough tools, we don't have that much time left. I thought about it just now, and I think it's better for us to make a catapult."

​​

"Catapult?" Zhao Lan repeated the word.

​​

Cruise nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's a catapult. I can make a trap. When we all enter this room, we touch this trap again, and it will catapult our room out. But the catapult I can't guarantee the amount of power it provides us with enough power to get us out of the spacecraft before it explodes...it's up to God."

​​

"It's good to have hope, it's better than waiting to die like this now." Zhao Lan shouted, "Then what are you waiting for?"

​​

Cruise nodded, took a bunch of strangely shaped tools and materials and started processing. Zhao Lan had absolutely no idea what Cruise was doing, and how the things he was holding had to do with the catapult, but looking at Cruise's seriousness, he thought that this thing should be very useful.

​​

This time, another twenty minutes passed after being busy. After the thing was finally made into shape, Cruise took a thick spring and pressed it hard, trying to squash the spring, but even if Cruise used all his strength, the spring was still only small. Small change.

​​

Cruise turned his eyes to Anlia for help, UU reading www. uukanshu. com Anlia came over, put the spring between her hands, and pressed it lightly with both hands, the spring was compressed to the extreme. Anlia asked, "Is that so?"

​​

"That's right, that's it." Cruise cried, "Quick, put it here."

​​

Anlia put the spring into the groove, and then, under the command of Cruise, installed the catapult to the designated place. Cruise took out a long rope and tied one end to the catapult. On a switch of the device, the other end is tied to the hatch of the room.

​​

"Are you ready?" Cruise said, "As long as I close this hatch, this room will be completely sealed, and at the same time, the trap will be triggered, and the catapult will eject us."

​​

Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaoming each found a place to fix themselves, while An Liya grabbed Cruise in front of the hatch with one hand while fixing herself. After the three of them were all ready, Cruise grabbed the hatch and pulled it hard to close the hatch. (To be continued.)
