Chapter 4 Meteorites pave the way? Methane leak

On the morning of the fourth Earth Day after arriving at Jupiter, Xu Siqian put on protective clothing as usual and prepared to go out to collect supplies, but the little camel kept rubbing her legs and hindering her progress.

She squatted down next to the calf in confusion, hugged its neck and stared out the window together: "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, a fiery red irregular meteorite hit next to the spacecraft.

The windows buzzed.

The little camel was so frightened that it ran under the bed and never came out.

I couldn't see the window on the Qiyu side and could only hear the sound. I asked through the door: "What happened?! The earth exploded?"

"It's a meteorite."

"It turns out to be a cosmic takeaway, just a small problem."

Ten minutes later, Qiyu realized how stupid he was, as meteorites of various sizes rained down from the sky like hail.

This meteor shower lasted for 7 hours.

The moment I opened the hatch, I was confused by the smoke, and an amber glass meteorite blocked the door impartially.

Qi Yu and Xu Siqian, who were sandwiched between the meteorite and the hatch, looked at each other and smiled.

Have a common idea.

Smashed pavement.

Just do it, take the drill and insert it directly, crack the meteorite and smash it into pieces, mix resin and sand in the crater, and spread it evenly on the previously compacted land.

There are more than a dozen meteorites, large and small, in the periphery. If Qiyu hadn't stopped them, Xu Siqian would have smashed them to relieve his energy.

Because her garden fence is all useless!

Have to do it all over again!

"Do blessings and misfortunes depend on each other? These meteorites are all non-renewable resources." Qi Yu put his arm on Xu Siqian's shoulders and consoled him.

Xu Siqian knelt down and checked the hardness of the resin after it solidified.

It's still ok, the surface is as smooth as glass, and now it's like a smooth small square.

In order to reduce the storm in front of the hatch, she simply drew a blueprint of a glass house and set it up in a small square. This way, they could increase the area for free activities.

However, the special glass stored in Jasmine is definitely not enough, and it is troublesome to clean. Although these glass meteorites are not transparent enough, their transparency can be increased by adjusting artificial resin and color paste. There are several tons of resin in the warehouse. It won't hurt at all.

The word laziness had never appeared in Xu Siqian's dictionary. After drawing the drawings, he started working directly, catching Qi Yu off guard as he was about to go back to rest.

"Can't you take your time? If you finish everything in one day, what will you do tomorrow?"

"There is no end to work. As long as people live, they work every day. A young man like you will never understand."

"You are voluntary, and you are not doing it for money, so you don't need to treat yourself as an ordinary worker, right?"

"Who says I'm not doing it for money? If the headquarters doesn't pay me, I can stay on the moon until the universe is destroyed."

"Then you take the money and have nowhere to spend it on Jupiter."

"Brother, I am not an orphan, I also have to support my family."

Qi Yu is only 21 years old and has just graduated a year ago. He cannot understand the thoughts of Xu Siqian, a person who has worked for five or six years. In his eyes, he only needs to spend enough money.

The idea sounds simple but in practice it is very tiring.

Xu Siqian needs to build a 3D model on a tablet, print it out in rubber to the same proportions, and then splice it completely on the outside after printing, and then pour the well-mixed meteorite resin into it.

Demolding after complete solidification is also a big project. In short, it is already half a month after all this was completed.

In the past half month, the glitter grass has also sprouted, and its growth is particularly uneven, with only the corners growing vigorously.

It was only later that Xu Siqian learned that every time Qi Yu said she was taking the little antelope out to use the bathroom, she was actually letting it roam freely in her garden.

"It is indeed a legendary natural fertilizer, and it is also very useful on Jupiter."

In the glass room, Qi Yu lay on the lounge chair, swaying and looking at the small garden outside, praising himself from left to right.

Not far away, Xu Siqian was busy repairing his car and had no time to pay attention to him.

The intensity of the transportation work during this period was so high that the mobility scooters stopped working without even saying hello.

Although she had expected it, she was still very agitated because she couldn't go anywhere. This was no longer something that could be done with simple repairs. She had to completely change it from the inside to the outside.

"I said, don't you suggest that I dismantle part of your airship and modify it?"

"Then what should I bring back to the moon?!"

"I see that you are leisurely and enjoying yourself all day long, so I don't really want to go back."

"What, you don't bother me anymore?"

"…………"

"Um?"

"How much?"

"How much does it cost?"

"How much does your airship cost? I'll pay for it, and then it has nothing to do with you."

"Why are you so cautious and panicked? I won't sell it."

"Love sells or doesn't sell."

Xu Siqian relied on her half-baked skills to repair the scooter. Except for the loud noise after starting, it seemed to be no different from before.

It was rare for the two of them to go out together, for no other reason than that the little camel antelope was almost eating them up. It had almost eaten up all the fresh vegetables they had stored before, and it would definitely be impossible if they didn't find hay.

Xu Siqian still walked along the path he had taken before, and took a look at how his shelter No. 2 was doing, hoping that it was intact so that they would not have to rush back for food and rest.

Fortunately, this place was not much different from the last time she walked there. The lighting modules on both sides of the road were functioning normally, and there were no signs of break-in in the shelter.

After putting the infrastructure and their personal supplies in the back of the car into the house, they drove the empty car in a direction they had never explored before.

The further we drove forward, the more strange the surrounding terrain became. The rocks gradually disappeared. The screen in front of us showed that the humidity in the air had increased significantly. It seemed that we were not far from the habitat of the humpback.

At the end, the tires even slipped a little and got stuck in the wet and sticky sand.

This is not the humidity that Jupiter should have.

Xu Siqian asked the co-pilot Qi Yu, who was stunned, to come down.

"The car got stuck, and we have to walk the rest of the way."

"Okay, okay, but we both go at the same time. What if we die together? You wait here, I can go alone."

"Okay, just wait here while I go."

"How can that be done? You've already shown it, and I should show it once too."

Xu Siqian agreed. She was a little tired after driving all the way. After Qi Yu left, she put her face against the steering wheel and took a nap.

Far from being in a deep sleep, her nerves were still highly tense.

“¥$*%…”

"??"

After Xu Siqian heard the strange sound, he immediately held the function box on his forearm and looked around cautiously. Fortunately, there was nothing.

"I must be scaring myself. I am hearing hallucinations. I still need to take a good rest."

"boom!"

Before she could completely relax, an unknown beast with ferocious hair jumped from a high place onto the engine cover.

"Wolf! No...not a wolf...what is this?!"

"Call Qiyu, don't come back for the time being. I have some trouble here."

"What happened to you there?"

"There are wolves!"

Xu Siqian took out the life-saving laser gun from inside, held it firmly in his hand, and stared at each other tightly with his eyes.

Strike first to gain the upper hand.

She pulled the trigger.

The glass wasn't broken.

The wolf didn't fall to the ground or fight back like she expected.

Instead, it dissipated like a reflection on the water.

Qiyu ran over with a big pile of hay in his arms.

"Why are you so weird?"

"Get out of here quickly, I'm so tired that I'm hallucinating."

Qi Yu put the grass on the bed of the car, sat back in the passenger seat, and when he took off his helmet to catch his breath, he finally understood why.

"The methane leaked, how much did you inhale? Why don't you put on your helmet quickly!"

Xu Siqian put on the helmet belatedly.

Then I remembered that the connection port of the gas tank seemed not to be tightened when the car was repaired. Coupled with the fatigue of the past few days, it successfully caused the hallucination just now.
