Earth Era

When the hatch was closed, it also pulled the rope attached to it outside, which transmitted the power to a switch of the catapult through the rope. Then the squashed spring snapped back into place, and its ejection triggered the rest of the continuous switches, and the whole catapult started.

At this moment, Zhao Lan's body slammed into the wall, and was blinded by the hit for a while, and it took a long time to recover.

Zhao Lan knew that it wasn't his body that moved just now, but the room he was in. Because of the existence of inertia, he will slam into the wall fiercely.

This sudden ejection almost destroyed the layout of the entire room. All kinds of debris began to fly around the room, making everyone look disgraced. Even some tools that were not fixed before suddenly hit the tempered glass, but fortunately, they did not break down the tempered glass. Otherwise, all the gas in the room will escape quickly, and everyone will die here.

Zhao Lan's first reaction after recovering was to look out the window. So Zhao Lan suddenly saw the familiar steel body of the hydrogen bomb spacecraft. Zhao Lan understood in an instant that the ejection was successful. At this moment, the room in the maintenance cabin where he was located had already escaped from the hydrogen bomb spaceship that was destined to die in the earth-shattering explosion. And the lives of the three of Anlia don't have to end here, their lives have been extended once again.

Cruise had his head broken in the collision just now. At this moment, blood was gushing out from there, condensed into droplets of blood floating in the air in the weightless maintenance cabin. But Cruise didn't care about these things at all. He went straight to the window and stared at the No. 7 hydrogen bomb spacecraft that was constantly moving away, as if he was calculating something.

"After visual inspection. The speed of our separation from the hydrogen bomb spacecraft is about 23 meters per second. At this moment, there are still seventeen minutes before the hydrogen bomb explodes. During this time, we can be separated from the hydrogen bomb spacecraft for about 20 minutes. Thirteen kilometers. Is this distance... enough?"

Cruise turned his questioning eyes to Zhao Lan. Cruise isn't a physicist, and he doesn't have a specific understanding of the power of a hydrogen bomb. So I don't know if the distance of 23 kilometers is enough.

"It depends on luck." Zhao Lan replied immediately, "This is space, not within the atmosphere."

The main killing method of the hydrogen bomb explosion is not radiation and high temperature, but shock waves. If such an equivalent hydrogen bomb exploded on the surface, the shock wave it caused would be enough to destroy all buildings within a radius of 200 kilometers, and buildings 200 kilometers away would also be severely damaged by the huge sound waves and shock waves. Compared with the shock wave, the radiation and high temperature damage of the hydrogen bomb are very insignificant.

But here is the space environment, where there is no air. The presence of air is a necessary condition for generating shock waves. Without air there is no shock wave. This also means that a hydrogen bomb that explodes in the space environment will lose its most powerful means of killing, and can only affect the surrounding environment with high temperature and extremely high-intensity radiation. Specifically, it carries extremely high-energy gamma rays and visible light.

There is a lot of harmful radiation in the space. If it is a manned spacecraft, it will be equipped with a radiation protection layer to protect the members who live inside. The hydrogen bomb spacecraft is not a manned spacecraft. It is only installed on it. A little radiation protection layer is added to protect the fusion fuel and various instruments inside the spacecraft, but this radiation protection layer is completely insufficient to protect the human body. That is to say, from the moment the hydrogen bomb spacecraft left the earth port, Zhao Lan and An Liya were already exposed to harmful cosmic rays.

Don't worry too much about this, though. Because now the medical technology of human civilization has developed to a very high level. Treating a little radiation sickness is a no-brainer. But... what if the radiation intensity is too high, so high that it can kill people in an instant, or so high that it can destroy the life-sustaining equipment in the maintenance cabin?

for sure. The radiation intensity released by the hydrogen bomb spacecraft must be very high. But it is unknown whether this radiation can kill people 23 kilometers away in an instant, or destroy the life-support equipment in the maintenance cabin. That's why Zhao Lan said that it depends on luck.

Looking at the three words luck means the most helpless situation. In such a situation, any efforts made by the human individual are ignored, and the final outcome of the matter is completely independent of the human individual's will. No matter what you think, no matter what you do, you can't influence the end result, it's just how it will be and can't be changed.

After Zhao Lan said the answer, "It depends on luck", there was a brief silence in the maintenance cabin. After a moment. Anlia smiled and said, "This result is good enough. After all, our chance of surviving was zero percent before. Now, our chance of surviving has increased to at least fifty percent. Isn't that enough? What more can we ask for?"

At this moment, Zhao Lan has some self-blame in his heart: "It's all my fault. If only I could have thought of this way earlier. If I thought of this way earlier, it means that we can be further away from the hydrogen bomb spacecraft. Distance, that way, our chances of surviving would be much better."

An Liya comforted: "Zhao Lan, it's not your fault. Inspiration is out of our control. It's amazing that you can think of this method at that time."

Zhao Lan shook his head silently, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent.

The countdown on the timer continued, and at this moment, the number had jumped to eight minutes. This means that in another eight minutes, the hydrogen bomb spacecraft will arrive at the predetermined location, and its internal pre-set program will detonate the hydrogen bomb the moment it reaches the predetermined location.

"That kind of picture must be very spectacular..." Zhao Lan thought silently, looking out of the porthole and looking at the hydrogen bomb spaceship that was about to disappear from his field of vision.

The maintenance pod was ejected from the hydrogen bomb ship from the side. In this way, under the condition that the maintenance cabin has the same forward motion trajectory as the hydrogen bomb spacecraft, it also has a force to move in a lateral direction. This option was chosen carefully, because if the maintenance module was ejected from the rear of the hydrogen bomb spacecraft, it would have the exact same trajectory as the hydrogen bomb spacecraft, the only difference being the speed of movement. That will cause the maintenance cabin to keep getting closer to the explosion site after the hydrogen bomb spacecraft explodes, thereby receiving more radiation. And this is undoubtedly a devastating ending for the maintenance cabin and the four people living in the maintenance cabin.

In the dark universe, except for a few planets in the solar system that are still emitting faint rays of light, no other stars can be seen. The arrival of the disaster of the stars made the once prosperous night sky empty. In this empty space, a hydrogen bomb spacecraft and a maintenance cabin that maintains the lives of four people are advancing together.

The countdown jumped to one minute. That is to say, after a minute, the hydrogen bomb ship will explode, and the fog of fate will be finally revealed. Whether it is life or death, it depends on that moment.

All the efforts have been made, and all the ways that can be thought of have been thought of. So, from now on, let's face the judgment of fate.

"When the hydrogen bomb explodes, don't look directly at it." Zhao Lan said, "The light will definitely be very strong. If you look directly, it will blind our eyes in an instant."

The three of An Liya nodded silently, and squeezed to Zhao Lan's side in a tacit understanding, all facing the direction of the hydrogen bomb spaceship.

Zhao Lan stared straight at the timer, watching the number beating continuously, from fifty-nine to thirty, from thirty to ten, and from ten to... zero.

The hydrogen bomb spacecraft just exploded silently. Any nuclear bomb exploded on the ground would be an earth-shattering event~www.readwn.com~ The ground shaking caused by it can even be detected by instruments on the backside of the earth. But this is space, and this is not Earth. As a result, the explosion of the hydrogen bomb spacecraft did not cause any other movement except that the luminosity in the maintenance cabin suddenly increased by an order of magnitude. No sound, no vibration, just a flash of light, that's all.

But at this moment, Zhao Lan suddenly felt nauseated. Zhao Lan knew what was going on. The human body feels this way when it is exposed to a large dose of radiation in an instant. This means that the radiation released by the explosion of the hydrogen bomb spacecraft has seriously injured his body. If he is not treated, his whole body will fester in the next few months, and he will die in a miserable and extreme way.

But this did not make Zhao Lan worried, but made Zhao Lan feel a little relieved, and even secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Because I can feel nausea, this at least means that I have not been killed in an instant. And since he is not dead, relying on the advanced medical technology of human civilization, he has the possibility to recover again.

But this catastrophe is obviously not so easy to get through. Zhao Lan suddenly felt a warm feeling on the wall of the maintenance cabin beside him, and at the same time, he felt as if the wind was blowing on his face. Also, the lights in the maintenance cabin went out after flickering a few times. (To be continued)
