It takes three days to reach the moon from here.

And they are already one day slower than the spacecraft of Country M.

"The order given to us by our superiors is that we must reach the moon as quickly as possible and never let Country M get the secret of the Blue Moon first!"

Although the captain said so, everyone knew that this was already the fastest speed of the space capsule, and no one could make this space capsule faster.

So all of them had to wait patiently for three days to pass.

But fortunately, they had enough time for entertainment. In addition to reading and studying, they could play chess, play games, and artificial intelligence could also join the game.

After losing several consecutive chess games, it grew into a chess master, and since then, no one could beat it.

There is no day and night in this space capsule. They can only carry out their daily activities according to their own living habits, and they all start to rest at "night".

But the artificial intelligence robot is still working.

On the "night" of the first day, after everyone rested, Captain Tu got up and issued instructions to the artificial intelligence.

"Qiqi, give me the crosshairs of the moon."

Soon, four faint lines appeared on the screen, circling a satellite that was getting bigger and brighter.

That was the moon, which was bigger and clearer than when he saw it on Earth.

After confirming that it was correct.

The captain returned to his hibernation chamber and fell asleep.

After the captain fell asleep, Shi Ling suddenly woke up. He left the hibernation chamber, came to the cockpit, and then looked at the huge blue moon through the window.

Everything on the blue moon was so clear. Those huge craters indicated that the moon was a planet without the protection of the atmosphere. For hundreds of millions of years, countless meteorites hit the surface of the moon and formed these craters.

"The signal from the earth is weakened. We may lose contact with the earth at any time."

The artificial intelligence issued a report, but Shi Ling didn't care.

The intersection of the crosshairs was always aimed at the moon. This was in the space station. A slight mistake could lead to a huge mistake. We couldn't relax for a moment.

Thanks to the artificial intelligence, otherwise they would have to send people to keep on duty just to check the crosshairs.

But everything was normal.

···

The next day, the artificial intelligence reported a very worrying problem.

"The photosensitive detection instrument of the space capsule has a malfunction. The reason is unknown and we need to leave the capsule for inspection."

The captain called everyone together and said, "This problem is very serious. It will affect our ability to aim the space capsule at the moon. If we don't always aim the space capsule at the moon and eliminate the error, we will miss the moon, which will be a waste of time."

The only engineer in the team said, "But there is no problem with the space capsule. It is constantly approaching the moon. As far as we can see with our naked eyes, our space capsule has been heading straight for the moon."

The moon is so big that they can see it from the earth.

Now that they have walked another half of the way, the moon has naturally become larger. In this case, even manual operation can fly to the moon, and there is no need to worry about any photosensitive instruments.

But the captain insisted.

"We must repair this instrument, because we are not just traveling in the lunar orbit, but we are going to land on the moon!" Shi Ling was very confused: "Is the instrument really broken? It can be seen with the naked eye that we have not deviated by a single centimeter." The engineer said: "Theoretically, it will not break. The instrument has undergone tens of thousands of test experiments." "That's just a theory." The captain interrupted, "We must ensure that everything is foolproof. That's why you are asked to board the cabin." The engineer nodded. He knew he had to go. This was his duty. "Contact the earth and consult professionals." The captain issued an order. However, the artificial intelligence said: "The message has been sent, but there is no response. We have arrived in an area where we cannot contact the earth." Yu Manzhi felt very strange: "What a coincidence?" There was a problem when there was no way to contact the earth? The atmosphere in the space capsule changed a little. They were all silent, and then waited for the engineer to leave the space capsule. "The space capsule is moving in a uniform straight line. You can leave the cabin!" The captain asked the engineer to put on the space suit first and then go to the pressure cabin. Then he changed the air pressure according to the order to make it consistent with space. "Everything is ready, you can leave the capsule. Please note that you only have one hour. You must return to the capsule after forty-five minutes." The engineer took a deep breath. This was his first time leaving the space capsule, which made him feel stressed. If he could, he did not intend to leave the safe space capsule, but there was no way. He had to complete his work. This was the meaning of his coming here. "The cross-hairs have shifted sideways. I can't adjust them. I need to adjust them manually." The artificial intelligence suddenly reported. Everyone frowned. It seemed that there was really something wrong with the external photosensitive instrument. The captain manually adjusted the space capsule, which caused the space capsule to vibrate for a while, and then continued to stabilize. "The space capsule has stabilized, engineer, you can leave the space capsule." The engineer nodded and began to turn the valve. Since there was really a problem with the space capsule, he had to take action. But at this time, the cross-hairs shifted again, but the captain could not control the space capsule because the engineer had left.

If he controls the capsule, his teammates outside the capsule may be thrown out.

In a vacuum, there is no friction.

The artificial intelligence spoke at the right time: "Please give me partial control rights of the space capsule. I can automatically complete the calibration of the space capsule's direction."

The artificial intelligence does not have the authority to control the space capsule, it can only remind.

The captain frowned: "I can't give you this permission. This is a rule."

The AI ​​immediately shuts up.

Yu Manzhi feels very strange. Isn't the intelligence of this artificial intelligence too powerful? You actually ask for permission yourself?

Shi Ling, on the other hand, had a bad premonition.

This trip to the moon does not seem to be going so smoothly.

Just as Shi Ling was thinking like this, an alarm suddenly sounded in the space capsule.

"Low fuel alarm! Low fuel alarm!"

All the members suddenly showed shocked expressions.

The captain was extremely surprised: "What's going on? Why did a low fuel alarm sound in the propulsion cabin?"

No one answered, everyone was panicking except Shi Ling.

Shi Ling also heard the alarm, which made him very strange. If a person with supernatural powers destroyed the propulsion cabin, he should not have heard the alarm.

The thrusters were still working normally without any problems. If the fuel was gone and the thrusters stopped, then he should be able to feel the capsule slowing down.

But…

Why didn't the capsule slow down?

"Stop the thrusters immediately, don't waste fuel!" the captain immediately issued the order.

Shi Ling reacted immediately and shouted: "No, the engineer is still outside!"
