Annihilation of the solar system

The remaining spacecraft of the 38th Space Army were all successfully captured by the moon's gravity. After entering the moon's low orbit, the pilots carefully calculated the remaining fuel of the positioning rocket to dock with the three Yutu space stations on the moon.

However, the "Yutu" station is designed as a transfer space station without a long trestle-type docking port. This means that after most combat spacecraft complete docking and transferring personnel, they can only remotely disengage from the docking and let them drift in low orbit.

Lu Yan and the commander of the group army stood outside the port window of the space station, looking solemnly at the dark moon slowly passing under them.

"I remember that we can see the brightly lit Guanghan Palace Moon City in low-Earth orbit and on the ground. Now..." Lu Yan looked at the Guanghan Palace base in the northern part of the Moon Sea like a blanket on the black moon.

The deep black scars left behind by high-temperature cauterization are a lament.

"We have done everything we can," the commander whispered.

"But that doesn't matter. They didn't care at all and destroyed everything anyway. Soon, our supplies were exhausted and we were going to be destroyed too." Lu Yan's eyes did not have any fear of death, but were full of unwillingness to fail.

.

At this time, the person in charge of the space station came over. He was holding a tablet computer in his hand and said with a low expression:

"Emergency communication radio contact is down below. All four laser arrays on the moon have been destroyed, and the Moon City has also suffered devastating damage."

"How many people are still alive down there? How much supplies do we have left?" the commander asked.

"We are now on the night side of the Moon City. The vacuum and minus 160-degree environment make it difficult for the people below to survive such a blow. Our evacuation plan failed to evacuate everyone from the Moon City in time. According to current statistics,

Judging from the situation, the number of people who can survive may not exceed 1/5, that is, less than 10,000 people." The words of the person in charge became more and more low.

For a while, the people standing by the portholes could only hear each other's breathing. After a long silence, the person in charge continued:

"However, our supply warehouses scattered outside the city are basically intact. These supplies are reserved according to the full number of people in the Moon City, which allows us to persist for a long time even if the self-sustainability of the Moon City is destroyed.

And according to reports, although Moon City has suffered devastating damage, all buildings in Moon City have a design similar to submarine watertight compartments. This allows a few buildings and compartments to still maintain sealing and functionality. I think we still have a chance.

Survive here, although it will be very difficult."

At this time, the space station flew directly above Guanghan Palace Moon City. Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the ruins surrounded by dust and gray fog could be clearly seen.

Suddenly, Lu Yan saw a few faint lights on the edge of the scorched earth-like ruins of the Moon City. On the vacuum moon surface, there could be no flames, and those bright lights could only be the lights of buildings. A faint smile appeared on her face

smile:

"Our interception was not in vain."

The commander nodded:

"Although it is very slim, at least our fight has gained the seeds of hope. Next, we have to find a way to survive. Because only by surviving can we continue to fight for survival."

...

Ke Guohao and other officers in the bridge were stuck to the huge portholes of the bridge like clothes spun in a washing machine. The "Zhenyuan" was spinning around its short axis due to the asymmetric thrust of the spore engine, leaving it in the space turret.

A huge centrifugal acceleration was generated in the bridge at one end.

A weight several times their body weight pressed down on them, making them unable to move. Every breath they took with all their strength to inhale air consumed their nearly exhausted physical energy. They could only look at the "hornet's nest" that had fallen off the porthole.

Nothing can be done about the black scars left by the bio-engines on the armor plates.

A technical officer tried several times to climb up to the operating platform to start the adjustment engine despite the huge overload, but he fell heavily back to the porthole after halfway up the climb due to exhaustion of physical energy and the huge overload.

"I can't bear it anymore... think of a way!" The technical officer's scream due to the huge overload and injury sounded like it was coming from a hose in the radio headset.

"The voice AI control system is faulty, and the attitude adjustment engine can only be started on the main console." The staff officer said with a dry voice.

Ke Guohao looked at the rolling starry sky outside the porthole and the sun passing quickly by every once in a while and suddenly thought of something:

"In electronic systems, radio voice AI and acoustic wave AI input are two parallel subsystems. Maybe direct acoustic wave input can still work." After finishing speaking, he gasped quickly, and this sentence, which was not too long, was already over.

Killed half his life.

"Now the whole ship has been evacuated, and the sound cannot be transmitted to the recognizer at all." The staff officer's words were almost inaudible at the end.

Ke Guohao moved his arm against the porthole glass to his waist, raised a finger and pointed at the life cycle backpack behind his back. Then he said with great effort:

"Use this...to inflate the bridge."

Afterwards, everyone was operating on their arm computers. No one raised any objections. Although this method may not work, if this continues, everyone will only die.

After a while, streams of white gas spurted out from everyone's life cycle backpacks. The space on the bridge began to become filthy, but soon became as transparent as before.

The captain's face turned red from holding himself back. He opened his mask and took a deep breath:

"'Zhenyuan', activate the attitude stabilization system."

Then he took a big breath, and his inhalation movements were very large, but it seemed that he didn't take in any air with each breath. Others also opened their masks and gasped desperately in the thin air.

"Warning! The attitude engine fuel is less than 10%. Please confirm whether you still want to start it." AI's clear and bright voice made everyone on the bridge feel comfortable like a heater in an ice cave.

"Confirm activation!" the captain roared.

Soon, rumbling sounds and vibrations were heard. The invisible force pressing on everyone began to gradually weaken, and their breathing became much easier. But before they were completely free from the glass, the pressure reduction trend disappeared.

"Warning! The attitude adjustment engine has run out of fuel!" the AI ​​voice sounded.

Although the rotation could not be completely stopped, and they could not move normally in the bridge, the overload of the centrifugal acceleration, which was weakened a lot, would not kill them for the time being.

The captain started the air circulation on the bridge, and everyone's red faces gradually returned to normal. The technical officer struggled to climb to the console, checked the data and said:

"There is no fuel left in the attitude adjustment engine, but the rotation has not stopped yet."

Ke Guohao sat up from the porthole glass, massaged his chest and ribs that were aching from being squeezed for a long time with his hands, and said:

"See how much fuel is left in the fuel tank of the orbiting engine."

The technical officer looked puzzled:

"There is still 15% fuel left in the orbiting engine, but what's the use of it? The rotation angle of the nozzle plate of the orbiting engine is very small, and it cannot stop spinning even if it runs out of fuel, and it wastes precious fuel."

Ke Guohao glanced out the window at the slowly rotating starry sky and said softly:

"There is a fuel pump in the electrical equipment, which pumps fuel from other fuel tanks into the orbit change engine fuel tank in an emergency. Its function is to respond to emergency instructions for priority orbit change."

"Yes, I know this fuel pump. It can be controlled manually, but this pump is one-way. I can only pump fuel from other fuel tanks to the fuel tank of the orbiting engine, but I cannot pump it back in the reverse direction!"

The technical officer said in confusion.

"I went to the equipment room to exchange the line sequence of the two sets of control circuits, and I was able to reverse the fuel pump. Although the reversal efficiency is very low, it may be possible to pump some fuel back into the fuel tank of the attitude adjustment engine.

Ke Guohao said.

The technical officer looked shocked:

"How sure are you?"

Ke Guohao shook his head:

"No one has tried it, so I don't know. This is the only way I can think of to stop the rotation."

"Execute immediately! There is now a rotation acceleration of 2g in the bridge, and the head and tail of the turret are higher. If we don't stop the rotation, we will be finished soon!" The captain gave the order decisively.
