Orange-red fire lit up the sky, and a huge fireball streaked across the sky like a meteor, falling downwards.
The sky lit up for the first time in a long time, as if the sun had risen again.
The earth was also illuminated again after more than half a year. The illuminated wilderness was covered with a vast expanse of ice and snow, reflecting orange-red light, as if everything was shrouded in firelight.
Chen Xin was sitting in the driver's seat and had already smashed the hoe under the car into the ground, hoping to fix the car.
Once such a big fireball falls to the ground, it will definitely cause a huge impact. Chen Xin can only hope that he will not be blown away.
However, to Chen Xin's surprise, the fireball's falling speed was not fast, or even very slow. Even the drone that was originally released returned to the car. This huge fireball had not yet landed, and it even seemed Still slowing down.
Chen Xin was extremely surprised. He stared at the huge fireball seriously, thinking that it might not be a meteorite.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin quickly took out his telescope and looked in the direction of the fire, trying to see what this fireball was.
The orange fire light enveloped the object in the fireball, making it difficult for Chen Xin to see clearly what it was. In addition, the magnification of the telescope was not high, making it difficult for Chen Xin to judge, but in terms of shape, it did not look like a meteorite.
"It can't be some kind of satellite, right? But why is it always slowing down?" Apart from meteorites, the only things that can fall from the sky are space vehicles and the like.
If it is a space vehicle, it is not surprising that it will decelerate. Some space vehicles with built-in return procedures will slow down in order to avoid being burned when entering the atmosphere. On the one hand, it is to avoid excessive friction caused by the surface and the air. , on the other hand, it also avoids impact caused by falling too fast.
And being able to slow down means that this thing should still be working normally.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin felt relieved. It seemed that he no longer had to resist the impact, which made him feel relieved.
After confirming that he was not in danger, the fire on the surface of the spacecraft in the sky was also weakening, which meant that its speed was gradually decreasing. Chen Xin also looked at it carefully with a telescope with interest.
Many people may have seen a rocket launch, but not everyone is lucky enough to see the scene of a space vehicle returning from space and landing on the ground.
But Chen Xin still felt a little strange. Logically speaking, space vehicles would not land in places like Hunan or Hubei Province, because there are too many mountains and not enough flat areas, which are not suitable for spacecrafts to land.
In Yanguo's case, the landing area of spacecraft returning from space is usually at sea or in the deserts or Gobi of Mongolia and Xinjiang provinces. The open environment is not only easy to recover, but also can effectively reduce the risk of accidents. Damage caused by accidents.
As for the current situation of landing in Hunan or Hubei Province, it can only be an accident or emergency.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, this was a space vehicle that was still in operation and could return to the ground by itself, although he didn't know why it landed here.
Maybe you should go and see for yourself? There should be someone to recycle such a large space vehicle, right?
Thinking this, Chen Xin adjusted the radar on the car and aimed it at the aircraft, which had gradually slowed down and the fire on the surface had weakened a lot, to see where it would land.
However, the performance of the radar on Chen Xin's car was not that strong, or the landing spacecraft was not within its scanning range. Chen Xin could only give up the idea of using radar to track the aircraft and use a telescope to observe the trajectory of the spacecraft's descent. .
However, when he saw the space vehicle through the telescope again, because the flames on the surface had weakened a lot, Chen Xin could finally see clearly that it was a return capsule.
Chen Xin can be considered an astronomy enthusiast and is familiar with Yanguo's spacecraft.
In addition, when various countries joined forces to prevent the meteorite from falling more than half a year ago, there were long and lengthy reports on the spacecraft that the Yanguo astronauts rode on. The shape of the return capsule in front of him was quite impressive to Chen Xin.
Is this an astronaut returning from space? Chen Xin felt that his brain was a little lacking. Those astronauts had just come back now and landed here in Hubei Province?
Chen Xin thought that all the astronauts had died because of the failure to prevent the meteorite from falling!
After all, after they landed on the surface of the meteorite, exploded the meteorite, and changed its trajectory, their return speed was not as fast as the meteorite itself. By the time they arrived on Earth, the meteorite had actually impacted, causing a global disaster.
The low-Earth orbit may be full of meteorite debris, and the spacecraft they are traveling on is very likely to be directly hit by meteorite debris and be damaged.
Even if they were lucky enough to escape the impact of the meteorite debris, the harsh environment on the surface made it impossible for them to return. They could only stay in space, or try to forcefully break through the atmosphere full of dust and debris, and gamble on their luck. Unable to successfully land on the ground.
It is not particularly strange that they can successfully return to the ground. After all, as long as they are lucky enough, the quality of the spacecraft can still guarantee their return.
As for why they landed in Hubei Province, the surface of the earth is now full of dust and debris. From outer space, the entire surface should be shrouded in dust. In the absence of sufficient reference targets, they were able to land in Yan Country It is already a miracle on the territory.
The only thing that Chen Xin found strange and incomprehensible was why they returned after more than half a year.
How did these astronauts last for more than half a year? There is no way to carry so much food on a spacecraft. What do they eat and drink?
But Chen Xin quickly put this problem behind him, because the flames on the surface of the spacecraft had gradually extinguished, and it began to slow down further and was about to land on the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Xin quickly put away the hoe under the car, restarted the car, and drove in the direction of the spacecraft's landing.
No matter why the astronauts returned now, or why they landed here, now that they are back, Chen Xin feels that he has to help them, and he has the ability to help.
Driving the car as fast as possible in the direction of the spacecraft's landing, Chen Xin kept looking at the spacecraft in the sky, while also turning the radar's power to the maximum to scan whether there were other people around.
Chen Xin felt that it would be difficult for someone to ignore such a big movement just now. If other people also discovered the spacecraft and rushed here, things would be complicated.
If there are people who also want to help, then that's okay, but if someone has a bad idea, it won't be a good thing for these astronauts who have gone through all kinds of hardships to return to the ground.
Thinking like this, Chen Xin hesitated for a moment and then glanced at a red switch on the console. It was the switch for the heavy machine gun on the roof. Press it to raise the heavy machine gun on the roof.
However, Chen Xin saw that no other people were scanned on the radar, so he did not raise the machine gun immediately.
As Chen Xin continued to approach, the spacecraft in the sky was about to fall to the ground. Three huge parachutes were opened on top of it and were further decelerating it.
Chen Xin chased the position of the spacecraft. At this time, the speed of the car was already very fast, but it still could not catch up with the speed of the spacecraft's descent. Before Chen Xin reached the landing position of the spacecraft, it had already fallen to the ground.
Seeing the spacecraft landing, Chen Xin couldn't help but become nervous. He turned on the radio nearby and tried to call the spacecraft, hoping to contact the astronauts inside. At the same time, Chen Xin was also approaching the spacecraft as quickly as possible.
However, no matter how Chen Xin called on the radio, there was no answer or reply from the spacecraft, which made Chen Xin suddenly nervous and worried.
Fortunately, when Chen Xin drove nervously and finally arrived near the spacecraft, he finally saw the door of the spacecraft being opened from the inside, and an astronaut wearing a heavy space suit climbed out and fell down. On the snow.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xin quickly stopped the car, put on his own protective clothing and got out of the car. He ran a few steps and came to the astronaut's side. Chen Xin patted his shoulder and shouted to him: "You can hear me?" Talk? Are you okay?"
The astronaut raised his arm and nodded slightly to Chen Xin through the mask, indicating that he could hear him. At the same time, he pointed to the spacecraft next to him, as if to indicate that there were still people in the spacecraft.
Seeing that the astronaut seemed to be in good condition, Chen Xin let him go and ran towards the spacecraft. When he looked in from the hatch, he saw that there were two astronauts inside, trying to figure out how to get out.
One of the astronauts saw Chen Xin's appearance, with an expression of surprise on his face. Just as he was about to take off his helmet, Chen Xin quickly stopped him and said: "Don't take off your helmet, it's only minus 40 degrees outside! Give me your hand." , I’ll pull you out!”
With Chen Xin's help, the two astronauts finally climbed out of the spacecraft.
Looking at the three astronauts collapsed on the ground, Chen Xin was a little embarrassed. He was only one person. He had already spent a lot of effort to pull the two astronauts out of the spacecraft. Now he wanted to pull them out. Moving it to your own car is not an easy task.
Chen Xin thought about it for a moment and said to them: "You guys wait here, I'll go get the car over."
After saying that, he ran back to the car, drove his car over, then picked up an astronaut's arm, lifted him up from the ground, and carried him to the car.
