Earth Era

Ye Luo's question to Wei Feng, "Either return to the solar system or go to South Gate II", seems to have no end and no end, but Wei Feng understood the specific meaning of this question in an instant.

The cruel reality once again forced Wei Feng to the edge of the cliff, and left no room for Wei Feng to turn around. That's right, as Ye Luo said, you can only choose one, Wei Feng has no other choice.

Choosing to stay here to repair the damage to prevent fuel leakage, the Xinghai spacecraft will still have roughly enough fuel, but the navigation instruments will be burned by the fire. And without the navigation instruments, Wei Feng would never be able to reach the Nanmen two galaxies.

Because space is not a complete vacuum. There are still numerous microscopic particles and even interstellar dust clouds that stretch for hundreds of billions of kilometers. Although they cannot be seen with the naked eye, nor can they be truly felt with the body, but they play a role all the time. The Xinghai spacecraft will inevitably collide with them during high-speed navigation. In the midst of these constant collisions, the route of the Xinghai spacecraft will continue to deviate, but for interstellar navigation, the initial orbital deviation of one centimeter may mean 10 billion when it reaches the destination in the future. , and even an error of 100 billion kilometers.

The Xinghai spacecraft must constantly correct its orbit to ensure its own accuracy. To correct the orbit, it is necessary to use navigation instruments. Navigation instruments are a complete set of precise and perfect systems. It will continuously observe the radiation intensity and flash frequency changes of dozens of iconic neutron stars in the Milky Way, and then combine dynamic stars. Gallery, and then after careful calculation, you can determine your position, and after determining your precise position, you can calculate the precise orbit. Without the navigation instruments, the orbit could not be corrected, and the Xinghai spacecraft could not reach Nanmen 2.

The Xinghai spacecraft certainly has spare navigation equipment accessories, but... at this moment Wei Feng is facing the situation that if the fire is not put out. The fire will destroy the navigation instrument, it is not a part that fails, as long as it is replaced and repaired. There is no way to repair a navigation instrument damaged to this extent.

At the same time, if the navigation instruments are lost, although the Xinghai spacecraft can no longer go to the Nanmen two galaxies, it is possible to turn around and return to the solar system. Because the Xinghai spacecraft flew out of the solar system, Ye Luo was collecting star map data during the voyage. With this data, even without navigational instruments. Ye Luo can also find an alternative way to go back into the solar system. Because the rest of the journey to the Nanmen 2 galaxy has not been completed, and Ye Luo has no navigation data about the second half of the journey, this method can only be used to return to the solar system, but cannot be used to sail to Nanmen 2.

Therefore, if Weifeng chooses to stay here to keep the fuel, then Weifeng can only choose to give up the idea of ​​​​going to Nanmen II, and can only return to the solar system.

But... if Weifeng chooses to put out the fire and keep the navigation instruments, at least 70% of the fuel reserves in the b cabin will leak. This will make the fuel reserves in the Xinghai spacecraft seriously insufficient. Even serious enough that the remaining fuel is only enough to decelerate the spacecraft from 3,000 kilometers per second relative to the sun to relatively static.

At this moment, the Xinghai spacecraft is in inertial navigation, and inertial navigation basically consumes no fuel. This means that if Wei Feng makes this choice, the Xinghai spacecraft can still fly to the Nanmen 2 galaxies under the guidance of the navigation instruments. After reaching the Nanmen 2 galaxies, the spacecraft still has enough fuel to use to slow down and enter the Nanmen II galaxy, but there will be no fuel to return to the solar system.

This is a two-or-one question. As long as one chooses one, the other is bound to be lost. They are like two girls who are in love with Wei Feng but are full of jealousy. Neither of them can bear the existence of the other girl. As long as Wei Feng chooses one of them, the other girl will be determined. away from Weifeng. There is never the possibility of going back.

The choice is in the hands of Wei Feng. But Wei Feng was really unwilling to make this choice. Wei Feng was still in the deepest hibernation a moment ago. At this moment, Wei Feng must make this decision, and the time must be fast. Because if the Weifeng delays too long, not only will the fuel leak light, but even the navigation equipment will be burned. At that point, Wei Feng can neither return to the solar system. It is also impossible to go to the South Gate Two Galaxy.

So... which one should you choose?

On one side are tens of millions of scientific research and engineering and logistics personnel, as well as the eager expectations of the time traveler team. If this opportunity is missed, human civilization may not be able to take this step of interstellar navigation until it becomes extinct. The other side is... forever lost in the vast space, and will never be able to return to his hometown for eternity. Wei Feng will truly become an icy stone floating in the universe, never finding a destination.

The standing fusion reactor around you may have a secondary explosion at any time. The fuel stored in the a and b cabins is still rapidly draining, and in the d area, the flames are still ruthlessly destroying. Alternative navigation equipment, the situation has really reached a crunch time. But Wei Feng lost his mind at this time. Wei Feng felt that his thoughts seemed to freeze. At this moment, Wei Feng couldn't move, couldn't think, couldn't speak, and even forgot to breathe.

Making this choice is a very cruel thing, although Wei Feng has endured more than 20 years of professional training before departure, although Wei Feng has been tempered by more than 200 years of lonely travel, although Wei Feng thinks that his mind has been Tough enough to be undistorted, but Wei Feng was still hesitant at the moment.

There are two roads ahead, one is the wasted effort of tens of millions of people, and the other is eternal loneliness drifting.

"Captain, time is running out. According to my judgment of your physical condition and the difficulty of performing the task, you must make a decision within thirty seconds and start quickly. Otherwise, we may lose the fuel and Lost the navigation equipment." At this moment, Ye Luo's voice reached Wei Feng's ears, making Wei Feng's thoughts resume.

At this moment, Wei Feng's voice was a little hoarse: "Give me... give me fifteen seconds! I will tell you my decision in fifteen seconds!"

Wei Feng knows that if he has enough time to do this multiple-choice question, he may not be able to make a decision after thinking about the last month or two, or even thinking about the last year or two. But now, Wei Feng had to make a decision within fifteen seconds.

In the end, which way should I choose?

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The quiet stars in the distance, the deep darkness in the universe, the white gas that keeps leaking, the crackling sparks that keep popping out... All these scenes are frozen in Wei Feng's eyes.

Wei Feng's eyes were a little confused at first, but after a while, they regained their clarity, and then there was a hint of madness. There was a sound like a wild beast roaring from Wei Feng's throat. The sound was very vague, but Ye Luo could clearly hear every word in Wei Feng's roaring words.

"Go ***! I'm a man who stands up to the sky! If you want to run home when you encounter difficulties, that's a coward! A coward!"

"Isn't it Nanmen No. 2!! I've decided to go! I have to go there and see! The big deal is death! When was I afraid of death!"

The hull rotation of the Xinghai spacecraft is slowly slowing down, and the artificial gravity has also begun to gradually disappear. After Wei Feng roared out those two words like a beast, a force came out of his body from nowhere, and he jumped up at once, turned around and ran towards the D area, the speed was as fast as It's faster than usual when Wei Feng is healthy.

Wei Feng gritted his teeth tightly, his face twisted. The low gravity at the moment created a lot of convenience for Wei Feng's running, making Wei Feng run like flying. Ye Luo also tried to stop Wei Feng at first, and asked Wei Feng to choose a way to keep his physical strength, but after seeing Wei Feng so crazy, he didn't stop Wei Feng, and just kept telling Wei Feng the direction to move forward, and what to do. Where to bring what kind of fire fighting equipment.

Wei Feng finally rushed to the D area and rushed to the area where the navigation equipment was stored. Wei Feng picked up the fire extinguisher and started frantically spraying. When one fire extinguisher was used up, he would replace it with another. He had been spraying wildly here, busy, and never stopped, just like a tireless robot.

What leaked here is some gas mixed with oxygen~www.readwn.com~ There is no flammable gas like hydrogen or methane. The fire here is caused by the explosion igniting combustibles. Because the gas cannot be quickly exhausted, Weifeng can only choose the fire extinguishing plan that will put out the fire.

I don't know how long it took before Wei Feng put out the last open fire. The gas leaks are still going on, but at this moment Wei Feng has no energy to repair them.

At this moment, Ye Luo's voice entered Wei Feng's mind again: "Captain, the damage to the navigation equipment is only 20%, and it can still be used after being repaired. The fuel in cabin b leaked 100%. Seventy, because of the reduction in pressure, it stopped leaking on its own when the reserve was 30 percent remaining."

"You mean... we can't go back forever?" Wei Feng asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes." Ye Luo replied, "We can only continue to go to the Second South Gate Galaxy, we... will never be able to return to the solar system." (To be continued.)
