Earth Era

Chapter 231: fuel leak

The long journey is still going on. Every time Wei Feng wakes up, in addition to doing some daily spaceship maintenance work, there is one more thing, that is, looking at the star in the distance, only watching it quietly, in addition to staring at it. Otherwise, do nothing.

Wei Feng will think of many things in his mind, sometimes he will think of the war that is taking place in the solar system, and sometimes he will think of the time traveler team. But these thoughts usually end with a sigh. Wei Feng is still caring about the solar system and human civilization, but Wei Feng knows that, except for the people in the time traveler team, no one in human civilization will think about him anymore. He has been completely abandoned by human civilization.

In this cycle of falling asleep and waking up again and again, the luminosity of the sun gradually weakened, and a star opposite to the sun became the brightest star Wei Feng saw.

Wei Feng knew that the star was the destination of his voyage. It looks like one star, but it's actually two. Those are two stars revolving around each other. Because they are too close to each other, they cannot be distinguished from the position of the guard wind. So their light rays overlapped together, entered Wei Feng's eyes together, and became the same star.

Not far from the star there was another star that had never been seen before. It is very dim and looks very inconspicuous. Even in this empty and clear cosmic space without any barriers and scattering, Wei Feng has to squint to see it.

It is Proxima Centauri, also known as Alpha Centauri C, and the other two stars are named Alpha Centauri A and B, respectively. Star C is the smallest star in the Nanmen two-three-star system, the closest to the sun, and the darkest star. When it was on Earth, its light was merged with the two stars A and B, and only one star could be seen on Earth. Now, the journey in Weifeng has traveled more than two light-years. At the time, it finally escaped from the shroud of light from stars A and B. Have a picture of your own **.

"It's been more than two hundred years..." Wei Feng sighed, stopped staring, and continued into his busy work.

Every time I wake up, Wei Feng has to work a little more than the last time. Because the frequency of Xinghai spacecraft failure is more and more frequent. There are more and more places that need to be repaired and maintained by Weifeng. This made Wei Feng feel a little worried, because Wei Feng knew that there was still a long journey of more than 700 years waiting for him, and Wei Feng was not sure whether the Xinghai spacecraft could support it until that time.

After leaving the solar system, the Xinghai spacecraft is Weifeng's only home. If even this home is lost... Wei Feng can only turn his life into a cold stone in this vast and empty dark universe.

Every time Wei Feng goes into hibernation, he worries about whether he can wake up smoothly. Because there are so many uncertainties. Wei Feng didn't know which day there would be a fatal failure in the spacecraft, and this failure was likely to cause him to fall asleep forever and never have the chance to wake up again.

After Wei Feng went into hibernation with a little anxiety, the Xinghai spacecraft once again returned to darkness and silence. Time is still passing by in this silence. I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know what time it is. Suddenly there is a little movement at the tail of the quietly suspended Xinghai spacecraft.

A tiny flash of light flashed at the back of the spacecraft, and after the flash, a hole with a diameter of almost one meter appeared there. Then, a large amount of gas was ejected from the hole. As the Xinghai spacecraft continued to circle in space, it quickly became thinner and thinner, and finally disappeared without a trace in space.

With the appearance of this hole, the entire Xinghai spacecraft boiled in an instant. Numerous instruments inside the spacecraft began to shake, and at the same time, the red warning lights began to flash rapidly. In that unseen place, countless data streams are generated from sensors installed throughout the spacecraft, and then quickly transmitted along the communication link to the central computer at the core of the spacecraft.

It was also from this moment that the lighting equipment in the Xinghai spacecraft was turned on instantly, then the life support system was turned on, and the temperature control equipment was turned on. The hibernation cabin where Wei Feng was sleeping was also pushed out from the ultra-low temperature equipment.

The wake-up procedure has begun. After the program was completed, the hatch cover of the hibernation cabin opened, and Wei Feng slowly opened his eyes.

After a moment of absence, Wei Feng regained consciousness. So Wei Feng said to the empty hibernation room: "Ye Luo. Has ten years already arrived?"

After asking this question, Wei Feng noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be a tense and solemn atmosphere in the air, and some very sharp sounds were faintly heard in the ears.

"What happened? Report to me immediately." Wei Feng said.

"Captain, we're in trouble." Ye Luo's voice remained calm, but much faster. "An instrument in cabin A of the energy cabin failed due to aging. The failure caused the pressure of the fusion reactor to be unbalanced and exploded. The hull structure was slightly damaged. The explosion blew through the partition between cabin A and cabin B, resulting in fuel reserve It was directly exposed to the interstellar environment. The fuel is leaking rapidly. Although I have taken some emergency measures, these measures are not enough to completely prevent the leakage of fuel."

Although Wei Feng's body was still weak at the moment, Wei Feng's thoughts were not affected. After hearing Ye Luo's report, Wei Feng's brows furrowed at this moment: "Explosion? Fuel leak?"

"Yes, that's why I woke you up urgently." Ye Luo said, "I don't have the ability to deal with this kind of emergency by myself."

"Immediately... show me the repair plan immediately, and I'll fix it right away." Wei Feng said, crawling out of the hibernation cabin with all his strength, but suddenly fell to the ground because of his unsteady footsteps. Wei Feng, who fell, almost fainted, but Wei Feng finally gritted his teeth and resisted the dizziness without losing consciousness.

Wei Feng knew how urgent the situation was at the moment. Wei Feng knows the hull structure of the Xinghai spacecraft very well, and knows that the A cabin is the fuel tank responsible for supplying the standing fusion reactor. The so-called standing fusion reactor means that it is always working and provides uninterrupted energy for the entire spacecraft. reactor. Because even if Weifeng enters hibernation, there are always some instruments in the spacecraft, such as the central computer, such as monitoring sensors, such as positioning instruments, such as orbital fine-tuning thrusters and other equipment that cannot be turned off, which requires that there must be a A fusion reactor is always working to provide energy.

Because it is always working, it has the highest probability of failure. Every time he wakes up, Weifeng will focus on the maintenance of the standing fusion reactor, but unexpectedly, it eventually fails.

If only the fusion reactor failed it would be nothing, but the most critical thing is that it blew through the barrier between the energy compartment A and B, and blew the hull, causing fuel in A and B. Give way. There is not much energy reserve in cabin A, but cabin B is one of the main energy storage bins. If only half of the fuel in cabin B leaks, it will be unacceptable consequences for Weifeng.

In this vast void of space, fuel means everything. It means power, it means lighting, it means food, it means air and water... it means life.

"Captain, I have to warn you in advance that your current physical condition is not suitable for carrying out maintenance tasks." Ye Luo said, "According to my judgment on your body, you will have to rest for at least five hours before you can deal with this task. Unexpected ability."

"Five hours?" Wei Feng's tone became serious: "After five hours, how much fuel will leak?"

"After you fix it, it will leak at least 70%." Ye Luo replied.

"Don't talk about Ye Luo, immediately prepare a spacesuit for me, prepare a maintenance plan, and immediately take out the tools needed for maintenance from the warehouse. I understand my own situation, and you don't have to worry about me." Wei Feng said flatly.

Wei Feng knew that the fuel reserves on the Xinghai spacecraft were limited. If 70% of the fuel in the B cabin leaked, he would not have enough fuel to return to Earth.

"I need to warn you about the risks of doing this. With your physical condition at the moment, if you go to perform maintenance tasks, the probability of you making mistakes will be as high as 80%~www.readwn.com~ And your mistakes are very high It may make the situation worse." Ye Luo said, "Excuse me... Are you really sure you want to carry out the maintenance task now?"

"Of course I'm going." Wei Feng said, "Ye Luo, although you are very intelligent, you still don't understand the importance of spiritual power to a person. Although my physical condition is not good, but... do you know , we have no choice and no retreat."

"Human civilization has abandoned us, we are already orphans without a home, besides relying on our own hard work, who else can we rely on?" Wei Feng continued to say quietly, "So... our maintenance mission this time. It has to be successful, because if we fail, we lose everything."

Ye Luo said: "Okay Captain, I have prepared the tools you need for you according to your instructions. At the same time... I also believe that you will succeed, Captain. Good luck to us." (To be continued. )
