"Hurry, take it apart!"
The core of the spacecraft was dismantled quite quickly. With a "snap" sound, the rapidly flowing air flow passed through the hole left in the core of the spacecraft, allowing the internal and external air pressure of the core cabin to reach equilibrium.
This sound was intended to frighten the astronauts in the cabin and trigger several alarms. But what also made them sigh was that they could see with the naked eye that the air flow was inward.
The asteroid seems to have a standard atmospheric pressure, which is higher than the pressure inside the space station cabin.
The next few pieces of aluminum were placed on the gap, and then a dazed Xiao Song was invited over. She held her wand inlaid with magic gems and muttered to the pieces of aluminum.
"Let me think about it, the melting point of aluminum is 660 degrees. That's not right. Aluminum is easily oxidized if heated directly. It needs to be isolated from oxygen and protected by inert gas before welding. Aluminum is also malleable and can be used to repair holes. But these pieces Aluminum is an aluminum alloy. It is very hard and not very ductile. It needs to be purified a little..."
Xu Siqi didn't forget to bring a camera to record his mother's nagging, and there were two other cameras in the space station that also focused on this gap.
So while Xiao Song was trying to concentrate and chanting these scientific mantras randomly, first the fire alarm signal from the infrared surveillance system sounded in the space station, and then the poison gas alarm sounded from the life support system. Fortunately, they all disappeared in a flash.
But in front of the lenses of several cameras, those pieces of aluminum metal scraps slowly deformed, melted and flattened, and slowly merged with the space station's bulkhead, turning into a large patch.
It was impossible to make it perfect. At least Xu Siqi didn't prepare a spray paint can, so the patch could only be exposed to space as a metal.
Finally, Xiao Song stopped exhausted, and Wang Qinyun quickly helped her aside. Xu Siqi hurried up to check the patch.
"It's done! It seems that there is no problem with the airtightness, but it is a bit thick."
"It's better to be thicker and stronger. It's not on the ground anymore anyway, so you don't have to worry about being overweight." The astronauts in the cabin were thinking openly, and several people were also checking it.
"It's actually cold. I thought it would be scalding hot. It will take a while to cool down."
"This is a magic spell, not real welding." Xu Siqi used a walkie-talkie to talk to the cabin. "If there is no problem with the naked eye, then give it a try. We have to retreat."
"You guys can retreat. Don't worry. We have several cabins. Even if there is leakage here, it's not a big deal." The commander in the cabin replied, "What kind of spell is this? I feel like the one that Master Song Cheng recited just now is not a big deal." can understand."
Xu Siqi couldn't answer this question. He could only smile and drive the ship back, and the gravity within the protective shield was restored as soon as he left the space station. As soon as gravity returned, Xiao Song sat down on the ground, finally feeling down to earth.
"A bunch of astronaut fans yearn for weightlessness all day long. I don't know how many people have actually experienced it."
Shaking her head to drive away the last feeling of dizziness, Xiao Song immediately began to complain. She felt bad just now, but the physical exertion was not great. It was better than motion sickness or seasickness on the ground.
"I don't know how many repeat visitors there are to the jumping machine in the amusement park." Xu Siqi responded with a smile and handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"What is an amusement park?" Wang Qinyun didn't understand this sentence, which made Xiao Song and Xu Siqi secretly decide to find a chance to take Wang Qinyun out to play.
There is currently no long-distance communication equipment at the base. If you really want to make contact, you have to see what communication equipment the Taishan has left for that base.
Xu Siqi strongly recommended that the astronauts return to the surface of Mars after completing the positioning work of the space station, because without the support of the communication system, many of the originally scheduled tasks in the space station cannot be carried out, especially since this is the orbit of Mars.
The space station's solar panels have insufficient power supply capacity. Staying at the space station has only the meaning of existence, and life will be very boring. However, the three astronauts all agree. For them, there is no difference between going to Mars and returning to Earth.
Xu Siqi could only stop insisting and took Wang Qinyun and Xiao Song back to Taishan. As soon as they entered the bridge, they found that Su Qin and Lisa had already begun to argue.
The issue of dispute was, as expected, about the disposal of the apartment building.
The apartment building has now floated within visual distance of the Taishan, and it has entered the formation position.
According to Su Qin and Xu Siqi's previous ideas, the Taishan went up and got some people to help Lisa pack up the personal belongings in Professor Perot's apartment. Then they could dismantle the core of the spacecraft and come back and throw away the entire apartment building.
But Lisa definitely disagrees.
Now sure enough, Lisa came up with the plan she wanted. She claimed that the United States of America owned the apartment building and the spacecraft core above it.
Su Qin immediately said tit for tat that the core of the spaceship in Boston had already become Xu Siqi's trophy, and it was definitely not stolen from the Americans.
In this regard, Lisa said that the three-person International Officers Corps also participated in that battle. The core of the spacecraft should be regarded as the spoils of the International Officers Corps. The so-called International Officers Corps and the Joint Command Center should make a decision to return the pirates' stolen goods to their original owners. the person’s decision.
The Chinese military, cooperating with the Joint Command Center, should be prepared to accept such a decision, and it has shown great goodwill and has not claimed ownership of several other spacecraft cores that Xu Siqi obtained in Boston.
Su Qin, who was not very good at this, was somewhat defeated. Fortunately, two army lieutenants, Lisa's nominal subordinates, joined the argument in time. Oklahoma City Army Lieutenant Vaja believes that the Joint Command Center will not confirm the ownership of the spacecraft core for the time being, but it will definitely and must immediately hand it over to someone who has the ability to use the spacecraft core for the purpose of protecting the earth.
Our Chinese Army lieutenant believes that this apartment building is now floating in space and should not be regarded as a sovereign building.
Because it has lost its connection with the land, no matter how complete it seems now, it can only be regarded as a piece of building debris.
He believes that the only way to recover the items is to abandon the wreckage.
"You have no right to deal with the property of the U.S. government and citizens so hastily." Lisa strongly protested.
However, she also had to admit that a building that has been separated from the land can hardly be said to be a building. Although the ownership of a building is always divided into two parts, land ownership and building ownership, the former is always a condition for the existence of the latter. .
