MTL - The Science Fiction World of Xueba-Chapter 26 Mars rescue

Time passed day by day, and unknowingly, it was time for the system to start a new plane.

2At 24:00 on the evening of October 5, 2019, the system voice sounded on time in Pang Xuelin's ear.

"The new plane is about to open this month, please prepare your host, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one ..."

Li Pang Xuelin lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

The next second, Pang Xuelin's eyes reopened. What appeared in front of him was a foggy dark yellow. To be precise, through a layer of transparent glass helmet, he could see the sky as if floating with countless silver iodide suspension.

Li Pang Xuelin was lying on the ground, and in his mind, a memory was injected out of thin air.

Plane Plane: Mars Rescue

Identity: Pang Xuelin, mathematician, communication expert, member of Ares III task force. Because of a global sandstorm on Mars, Ares's joint command canceled the 30-day scientific expedition and ordered eight members of Ares III to return to the Mars Lift Vehicle (MAV). On their way into the MAV from the perch, Pang Xuelin and Mark Watney were stunned by satellite communications antennas falling off the base, and the spacesuit biochemical monitoring system failed, causing teammates to believe that the two were dead.

Background: The Ares program is led by the International Astronautical Federation and a multi-national Mars landing operation, which aims to establish an international Mars scientific research base. Ares plans to first build a giant international space station with a mass of 50,000 tons in geosynchronous orbit. Subsequently, the International Space Station was used to build Hermes, the largest nuclear-powered spacecraft in human history. The Hermes is driven by an ion engine and uses the power generated by the nuclear reactor to eject argon atoms at high speed, giving the huge Hermes a slight acceleration. This kind of acceleration can accumulate for a long time, which can bring a considerable speed to the Hermes. The main members of the Ares plan include China, the United States, Russia, Europe, and Japan, and the EU as a whole joined.

Mission: Rescue Mark Vodani and return to Earth alive.

mission rewards:

The eyes of the astronaut. (As an excellent astronaut, how can you allow Sibai to myopia? As long as the mission is completed, the host ’s vision in the real world will return to normal.)

Second, a technology of the standard plane is randomly selected as a reward.

"Drip, warning, oxygen concentration exceeded, Drip, warning, oxygen concentration exceeded ..."

氧气 On the wrist display, the oxygen concentration is up to 80%.

She Pang Xuelin was pale, her head was groggy, and she had a disgusting feeling.

Pang Xuelin knows that this is a manifestation of oxygen poisoning.

The bottleneck of the spacesuit life support system is not how much oxygen you bring, but how much carbon dioxide you can breathe out and emit.

In the Hermes spacecraft or perch, there is a large oxygenator that can decompose carbon dioxide into oxygen, but spacesuits are different. It can only carry an absorption device with sodium peroxide. Sodium oxide absorbs saturated carbon dioxide and the filter is scrapped.

At this time, the computer that comes with the space suit will open the vents to discharge excess carbon dioxide, and at the same time, release nitrogen for pressure compensation.

Engineers call this emergency mode "blood bleeding."

If the nitrogen is released again, the system will perform the final step, using pure oxygen to make up pressure-this is equivalent to chronic suicide.

Excessively high concentrations of oxygen can cause damage to the lungs, nervous system, and retina, causing a series of complications such as difficulty breathing, retinal detachment, pulmonary fibrosis, and mental disorders!

Now Pang Xuelin is in this state.

"No, you must return to the habitat as soon as possible!"

Pang Xuelin barely climbed from the ground and walked a few steps, only to find Matt Vodani fainted aside, and his abdomen was punctured by a signal receiving antenna. Fortunately, the water in the blood was low pressure Evaporating in a strong air stream, the viscous residue left sealed the opening, reducing the leakage of the space suit to an acceptable level.

"This guy is so lucky, he can survive in this case!"

Pang Xuelin squatted down to check Mark Watney's condition. Then, according to his memory, he touched a patch pack from the side of the helmet and took out the high-viscosity gum inside.

Xi Pang Xuelin held one end of the antenna and pulled it out with a little force.

"what!"

Mark Vodani was suddenly awakened by Pang Xuelin's actions. The severe pain made him tremble, even his muscles twitched.

Xun Pang Xuelin quickly blocked the opening with gum and blocked the air flowing out.

的 The air pressure in the spacesuit began to rise, and Mark Vodani opened his eyes wide, panting heavily, trying to hold back the pain.

"How are you, Vodani? Can you hear me?"

Mark Vodani stared blankly at Pang Xuelin.

"Vodani, can you hear me?"

Mark Vodani opened his mouth and said a few words, but Pang Xuelin couldn't hear anything.

"The spacesuit communicator has failed!"

Pang Xuelin immediately realized the problem.

Pang Xuelin patted Mark Vodani's helmet and pointed to the habitat more than 100 meters away. Mark Vodani seemed to realize the situation of the two and made an OK gesture towards Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin helped Mark Vodani lift him from the ground, and the two stepped forward to the perch.

Fortunately, the habitat has withstood the test of sand storms and is intact.

Pang Xuelin opened the outdoor side door of the airlock, took Mark Vodani in, and waited for the airlock room pressure to stabilize before opening the inner door again.

"Hoo ..."

As soon as he entered the habitat, the two collapsed to the ground. Pang Xuelin quickly took off the helmet of the spacesuit and helped Mark Vodani take off his spacesuit.

感谢 "Thank God, Pang, we ... we are all alive!"

Mark Vodani gasped heavily, rejoicing.

Pang Xuelin said: "Vodani, is your wound all right?"

Speaking of the wound, Mark Vodani frowned. "There should be something in the wound, but now it hurts!"

"Wait a minute, I'll handle it for you!"

Pang Xuelin took off the heavy spacesuit, and helped Mark Vodani take off the spacesuit, and then cut open his T-shirt that had been stuck with scabbed blood, exposing the scarlet wound inside.

Next, Pang Xuelin got a first aid kit, under local anesthesia, took out a small screw in the wound with tweezers, rinsed and disinfected, and sutured the wound.

Finally, Pang Xuelin put a box of antibiotics in front of Mark Vodani and said, "Give me a few weeks."

Mark Vodani looked at Pang Xuelin with a bitter smile and said, "Pang, how many more weeks can we have? In this ghost place, if the oxygenator fails, we will suffocate and die. If the water circulation device is broken, We will die of thirst. If the habitat is leaked, we will be blown up. Even if none of this happens, we will be starved to death in the end! Just before entering the habitat, I found MAV (Mars lift vehicle) Gone! They must have thought we were all dead and evacuated early! "

Pang Xuelin said: "Watney, this is not to blame them. Our mission stipulates that if teammates die, their bodies must be abandoned on Mars. This can reduce the MAV return load and increase the system's fault tolerance. In that case, they have no choice. As for how to live next, it is artificial, believe me, we will have a way! "

Even though Pinghua said so, Pang Xuelin was also anxious.

In the movie, Mark Vodani finally survived a lot of hard work, and indeed survived, but this time is different. This time, there are two people on Mars, and the amount of various resources that need to be consumed is twice the original.

And in the movie, because the MAV for Ares IV needs to enter the same track as Hermes, it has to unload a lot of equipment to reduce the empty weight.

Even so, Mark Wittney almost died in space when docked in space.

Now there is one more person. Only one person will be able to return to Earth by MAV, which means that they must be prepared to live on Mars for a long time.

Of course, hope is not without.

In the memory that the system has instilled in itself, the background of the mission and the background of the movie have some differences.

In the movie, the Ares plan is a task proposed by NASA. In order to cater to the Chinese market, it has specifically joined the scene where NASA helps NASA rescue ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ But in this world, the Ares plan is needed because of the need The trillion-dollar investment (including the geostationary orbit space station and the Hermes spacecraft) cannot be afforded by any country, so this plan became a project led by the International Astronautical Federation.

Whether it is a hyperspace station with a mass of 50,000 tons, or the huge Hermes spacecraft, it has the wisdom of global scientists.

Aris III mission team consists of astronauts from eight countries: China, the United States, Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Germany, and Japan. Pang Xuelin is from China, and Mark Watney is from the United States.

Therefore, the materials they carry are not the same as in the movie.

庞 In Pang Xuelin's memory, the Chinese payload of this mission contained many breadworms, fungal spores and plant seeds used to test space reproduction.

Xi Pang Xuelin's eyes could not help but light up, it seems that next, it is necessary to give play to racial talent.

Mark Vodani smiled bitterly: "Pang, I don't blame them, but in this case, our chances of surviving are too low!"

Xi Pang Xuelin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it so much, we must have other ways, now we have something to eat, sleep and talk!"

"Well, give me a packet of Kung Pao Chicken Rice!"

Pang Xuelin laughed. In order to adapt to the different tastes of astronauts in each country, Ares missions each contributed a unique space meal, and the palace chicken became the favorite food of Mark.

Xi Pang Xuelin found a bag of Kung Pao Chicken and Yangzhou Fried Rice, heated them in a microwave oven, and made two cups of instant drinks.

The two of them gorged.

After eating, he returned to his bed and fell asleep.
