Chapter 484 Rescue the spacecraft engine
In fact, when Xiaochun informed me, our location was still above Eastern Europe, but everyone knows the speed difference between spacecraft and aerospace vehicles. Flying from Europe to China on civil aviation will last for several hours. Some aircraft with shorter ranges may need to be brought down and added fuel in the middle, but the interstellar immigration ship is not an aircraft, it is a spacecraft. The minimum requirement is to reach the first cosmic speed, otherwise how can we space it? Even if we destroy some of the thrusters of this immigration ship now, the speed of the first cosmic speed is no longer the first cosmic speed, but the first cosmic speed is twice the speed of sound. Even if it cannot reach it now, there are still more than 180 times the speed of sound.
The fastest fighter among aviation aircraft is just a dozen times the speed of sound. This is still an experimental aircraft. The maximum speed of practical fighters has not reached ten times the speed of sound, let alone civil aviation. Supersonic speeds are rare, and most of them cannot reach the speed of sound.
Therefore, it takes several hours for civil aviation to go from Europe to the eastern coast of China, but it only takes a few minutes for this spacecraft to die.
The result of such a fast speed is that if this thing plunges into densely populated areas in the city, the number of casualties will probably be used in thousands, and it is not impossible to exceed ten thousand.
Of course we can't let this happen, so the best way is to blow it up now. We are currently in the eastern Europe region, where the population is relatively sparse, and even if a few parts fall, it will not easily hit people. Even if the spacecraft disintegrates now, with its speed, the wreckage will continue to fly far forward to land. And further forward in Eastern Europe is almost an unmanned area. The area near the world's largest Himalayas is almost a sparsely populated safe area. Even if the spacecraft falls, it will not cause too much problem. It is absolutely no problem to control the number of casualties within a hundred people. It is normal for good luck to have zero casualties. After all, this place is all mountainous areas, and there are no people thousands of miles of people, and the environment is harsh. Not to mention people, there are not even many animals.
Thinking that the existence of the spiritual network, the moment I knew the situation, everyone on our side knew the situation. At the same time, all the administrative departments in the eastern coastal areas of our country received a notice to cancel all vacations and be on standby. Once it is confirmed that the spacecraft will really fall into the coastal city, the emergency plan will be immediately started. Even if the entire population cannot be evacuated, it is better to save one more.
While we were preparing for the war in the coastal cities, we really started to fight hard.
Since it is necessary to destroy it, it cannot be dealt with simply. Everyone who boarded the ship worked hard to improve the output, and started all the destruction methods that could be used to destroy the hull as much as possible. Moreover, this destruction is also of particular importance and cannot be destroyed casually.
A spacecraft as big as eight aircraft carriers are tied together, which cannot be completely demolished by just a few people. Although we are not ordinary people, we are not many people after all, and our destructive power is limited. It is impossible to have too much impact on this thing, so there must be a focus on the destruction.
The easiest way to make this thing fall early is to destroy the central control room, power system, and shell of three parts.
The power system that can fly is the power system, and the immigration ship is not a glider. The wings of this thing are very short and basically do not play a gliding role. So once the power is lost, the thing will immediately become a free fall. The central control room is actually the same as the power system. This place controls all the power systems. As long as it can destroy this place, the spacecraft will lose control. Even if the power system does not turn off, it will fly around and eventually fall quickly.
The shell mainly plays a role in reducing drag and ensuring the overall integrity of the spacecraft. As long as the shell of the spacecraft is damaged, the drag of the spacecraft will increase, resulting in a decrease in speed. As long as its speed drops, the destructive power will also decrease a lot.
In fact, it mainly seems that the power system is the most important. As long as this part is completely destroyed, the spacecraft will definitely fall immediately.
It is good to understand where the key point is, but we are also a little troubled now.
This spacecraft is different from the spacecraft that used to be bait. It is a spacecraft designed and built by the other party and has been completed in a hidden state. Therefore, there is no design drawing for this thing, and we have no idea about its structure at all. This has led to us that we cannot find the various cabins and passages of this thing well, and we even don’t even know the location of the cabin section inside it.
The reason why we could destroy the main thruster and an auxiliary thruster so quickly before was mainly because the location of these thrusters was easy to find. Although we didn't know their design, we saw that the thruster was at the bottom of the spacecraft before we boarded the ship. So we would definitely find the thruster as long as we walked backwards, which allowed Hans and the others to find the position of the main thruster so quickly and destroy it. However, although the main thrusters were destroyed, we have not found the entrance to the auxiliary thruster until now. The one that exploded before was destroyed by accident. We don't know where the entrances of the other five auxiliary thrusters are. Fortunately, the locations of these thrusters are distributed in an annular shape, so we roughly know a range, at least we don't need to touch it randomly.
While searching with the attacks of the armed personnel on the ship, we quickly found an auxiliary thruster, and Hans, who were separated from us, also successfully found an entrance to the auxiliary thruster.
At the same time, we found two entrances, and we quickly drilled in, leaving a few people to guard the entrance and shoot at the people outside. The remaining people ran directly to the thruster to prepare for damage.
To be honest, I really don’t want to break it when I see the thruster in front of me. Most people don’t know how precious this thing is, but we are very clear about it. Although this thruster is small and cannot support an immigration ship with one thruster, using this thruster as the main thruster and then binding our rocket thruster to send a medium-sized immigration ship out of the Earth’s gravitational circle.
There are not enough immigrant ships in various countries now, mainly because the propellers dug out from the alien ruins are not enough, not because the hulls we built ourselves are not enough. I don’t know the situation in other countries. At least with the current industrial level in our country, before the final safety node arrives, we can completely build immigrant ships carrying more than 2 billion people, which means that there are still many spaces left. But in fact, only one-third of the people we can take away. The reason why the data is so different is that the number of alien engines is insufficient, so we can only produce our own rocket engines in large quantities. Our rocket engines are not only large in size, but also have limited production capacity, and we cannot equip many spacecraft at all. This is the key reason why the production speed of immigrant ships cannot keep up with the time progress.
As long as one of these engines can be taken away, there will be another immigration ship, which will save tens of thousands more people. This is definitely not a joke, after all, it affects the lives of tens of thousands of people!
Looking at the huge alien engine in front of me, I was really reluctant to let it go, but it was too late to say anything now. The spacecraft is like this now, and there is absolutely no way to land smoothly, which means that these engines cannot be kept at all. Since this is the case, it is useless to keep them. Sooner or later, they will be damaged in the crash. Anyway, they can't be saved anymore, so just let go and let it get done sooner or later.
"Ling, we..."
I was about to let Ling and me do it together, but I suddenly heard Nuwa's voice ringing in the spiritual network. "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
Because Nuwa is also on the Internet, she also knows what we think. In fact, Nuwa also doesn't want this engine to be destroyed, so when I thought about it, she was also thinking about whether there is a way to hold the engine. Finally, after thinking about it, Nuwa came to the conclusion that it could be.
"I have a way to keep the engine and don't destroy it first."
When I heard Nuwa's words, I was not in a hurry to ask how to protect me, but I quickly contacted Hans. However, they could not hear our spiritual network, so they had to stop it quickly.
"Hans, don't rush to destroy the thrusters first. We might be able to keep these thrusters."
Although Hans is different from me and does not know much about technology, he at least knows that this thing is very important. Even a country can fight for one or two of this thing, so he immediately became interested when he heard that he could save it.
"You really have a way?"
"I don't know, this is the advice given by my logistics support department."
"Then it should be fine." Hans immediately added after he finished speaking: "I want half of the protected thruster."
I did not answer immediately, but contacted Nuwa with the Mind Network to ask about her plan and success rate. Because it was with the Mind Network, it was much faster than speaking. We exchanged hundreds of opinions in just one second. Nuwa also took the time to demonstrate her all plans to me in a simplified version of three-dimensional animation. After learning all the information, it only took a second. I turned around to contact Hans at this time. "There are five thrusters left now, and I don't know how many can be saved. I promise to give you at most one complete one."
"If there is any damage, I will need one more damaged one. If all five are preserved intact, I will need two intact."
"make a deal."
Although the damaged thruster cannot be used directly, the parts on it are actually of certain value, so Hans plans to get an extra damaged version, and if 5 complete ones are fine, he can get two thrusters, which will make a lot of money.
As soon as I agreed, Hans suddenly asked again: "These two damaged thrusters should be removed, should we? The big ones are your small ones, no matter how damaged they are."
Hans' idea is actually very simple. Now he has two damaged thrusters, and he has a small damaged one, and then the five intact thrusters may give him a damaged one, so that he can get a complete thruster and two damaged thrusters. The equipment of the aliens seems to be very good at producing large-scale machinery and industrial machinery, that is, all the parts are of unified standards. In other words, two damaged thrusters have great hopes to make a complete one by complementing the parts. Of course, it doesn't matter if he gets two intact thrusters and one damaged one, it will be better. So this proposal is considered a guaranteed harvest for drought and flood.
Anyway, one is to dismantle five, so I don’t mind how to deal with it.
After the discussion, I gave up the plan to destroy the thruster, but started to deal with the thruster according to the suggestions given by Nuwa. Of course, I also had to send a document to Hans. However, Hans also had a command network, so in the end I simply asked Nuwa to directly enter their power armor to guide them on how to do it.
In fact, this plan is not very complicated. To put it simply, we should not destroy the hull first, but instead control all thrusters, try to ensure that the spacecraft does not crash first, let it fly across China's coastal areas, and then directly discard the thrusters in the East China Sea or the South China Sea. Nuwa will be responsible for supporting the response below. As for how to connect... it is actually simple. Nuwa will arrange a large group of bioforce field generators on the sea, which are things that look like giant white eggs.
This thing has the electromagnetic field control ability of our dragon clan, and the output strength is much greater than that of us. As long as there are enough of this thing, the electromagnetic field can be used to support the thruster to achieve soft landing. Moreover, because it is airdropped over the sea, as long as the speed is not too fast, it is fine even if it is smashed into the sea. The equipment of aliens is still quite strong, and there will generally be no problem as long as it is not particularly fast when falling into the water. Of course, these bioforce field generators alone cannot support something that can fly hundreds of times the speed of sound, so we still have several tasks to do.
First, although we cannot let the spacecraft crash, we cannot let it fly too fast, otherwise we will not have time to slow down. What we need to do is to use our own electronic brain to connect the thruster, and then directly operate the thruster instead of the control system on the spacecraft to control its output power, so that we can fly to the sea safely and control the speed below ten times the speed of sound, otherwise the bioforce field generators below will not be able to handle the thruster at all.
Second, in addition to controlling the thruster, we also need to invade the spacecraft control system and find the control switch for the forced ejection thruster.
Regarding why Nuwa knew that the thrusters on this spacecraft could be forced to eject, it was actually because all immigration ships were like this.
Because of some principles we don’t know, the thrusters of this type of alien spacecraft are said to be less stable after being destroyed, and may explode, and are very powerful. Therefore, the engines of this type of alien spacecraft are modularly designed and are very convenient to replace. Once damaged in battle, the entire engine is ejected and used directly as bombs. This is why the alien spacecraft usually does not have that kind of large thruster, but are densely packed with a large number of small thrusters at the stern. In this case, if one or two thrusters are problematic, throwing them away will not affect the flight of the entire spacecraft. If there is only one large thruster, once abandoned, the spacecraft will lose its power.
This feature of the alien thruster was found in a file that we suspected to be a security manual. Moreover, the file is not encrypted, so we easily translated it. Immigration ships all over the world also know this, so everyone designed a disengagement device for their immigration ships, and when necessary, the alien thruster can be separated from the hull.
Because of this reason everyone knows, we can basically confirm that the thruster on this ship should be the same, and there must be a catapult device. We need to find and control it so that the thruster will be ejected at the right time.
The speed of this immigration ship is very fast. We simply made a plan and it was almost over the Himalayas, and its height had begun to decline at this time. At the time of its highest before, we were almost entering the suborbit, but now the altitude is only more than 40,000 meters high. It can be said that the altitude is decreasing very quickly, and the speed is the same. Because the atmosphere at the bottom is dense, the speed of the spacecraft is further decreasing. The current speed is only about 120 times the speed of sound, but this speed is still astonishingly fast.
While blocking the door, we found the control node on the thruster. Ling and Emmenis joined forces to pull out all the other party's control cables, and then Xiaochun quickly connected the thruster data port with his own electronic brain external port. Because our dragon clan itself is an alien design, the working modes of our alien thrusters are the same. The two can easily complete docking and information interaction. In comparison, the linking device on the spacecraft is much more complicated. There is also a converter in the middle to convert the computer signals used by humans into alien standards to control these spacecraft thrusters.
Xiaochun couldn't do anything after accessing the signal, but wanted to maintain the status quo and maintain the stability of the spacecraft first, and we had to leave here temporarily. Let Jingjing stay and guard this entrance. Xiaochun himself was connected to the thruster and could not move. In this way, the two of them controlled the cabin, while the others quickly moved towards the next thruster cabin.
After finding a cabin, it is easy to find the remaining cabin, because we roughly know the arrangement of the entrances. As for the enemy's obstacles, it is really not a problem for us. The personnel on our side are very strong in combat, and the other party dares not use heavy weapons in their own spacecraft, so naturally they cannot pose a threat to us.
He rushed all the way to the next power chamber, then cleared all the personnel in the cabin, and then found the connecting line with the same location, but this time he asked Ling to connect the thruster, Emmenis was responsible for guarding the goal, and the rest continued to run.
After we invaded the third power cabin, Frostxue was responsible for connecting the thrusters, Lingling was responsible for guarding the gate, and the others continued to run.
Next was the fourth power cabin, Yeyue was responsible for connecting the line, and then Xiaobai stayed to guard the gate. Moreover, because Xiaobai was inconvenient, I also left two mechanical dogs to assist.
When Hans arrived at the fifth power cabin, they were waiting outside, and immediately greeted us when they saw us approaching.
This time I can only connect the thruster, because there are no more people here. There are not many people on the spacecraft. At least one person is required to be responsible for the thruster and one person is responsible for the door. This way, there will be no enough people to deal with us.
I was left with Bai Lang around me, and there were several robot dogs. After I connected the thruster, Hans asked one of his subordinates to help, and he rushed out with the people. Their task was to go to the two damaged thruster compartments. Although they could not control the damaged thruster, they needed to find the catapult to eject the two thrusters.
We almost completed the entire occupation process in a rush, and that's it. After everyone was in place, we almost caught up because the spacecraft had already reached the sky above Anhui Province, and the altitude was only more than 10,000 meters. It would be a matter of minutes to fall at this height.
In fact, when Xiaochun was the first to control the thruster, we were already correcting the flying posture of the spacecraft. Otherwise, with its original trajectory, it would be good that the altitude of this thing could be left at this position at this point. Now we have been able to get back 10,000 meters.
After we sent the signal to take place, Nuwa immediately reminded in the spiritual network: "Note, now start to cover the mind, I will take over all the lines, countdown three, two, and one."
Nuwa's countdown is not a countdown of ten seconds, but a countdown of three milliseconds. This time is just enough for us to adjust in a unified manner. With the launch of the spiritual coverage, the alien thruster of the spacecraft is equivalent to being taken over by Nuwa. The result of the linkage of five better thrusters is that the spacecraft's posture has been corrected and finally no longer shakes randomly. The speed is also controlled and it is slowing down.
At this time, the spacecraft attitude is basically at an angle of 45 degrees. The bow of the ship is pointed obliquely towards the sky ahead and the stern pointing to the ground. There are several benefits to doing this: one is to increase the windward surface and use air resistance to slow down. Twenty-years use most of the power to resist gravity, rather than to accelerate, which can not only ensure the flight altitude and reduce the speed. Of course, the altitude is actually still decreasing, but it is only controlled, not as powerful as the decline at the beginning.
After we were ruined, we finally let the spacecraft leave the land above our country. Even if it falls all over, there is no big problem, but we still need to be careful to control our posture.
"Everyone is careful and prepare to cut off the propeller in order." Nuwa reminded again.
“We’re ready.”
"Okay, follow my command, the No. 1 and No. 3 propellers are turned off."
"The fire is finished."
"Adjust the flight posture and let the spacecraft stand up."
"Reported, the power output is insufficient and the posture cannot be changed."
"Then throw the No. 1 and No. 3 propeller first."
"Are you sure you can pick it up?" I interrupted.
"Just throw it away, it's a waste of time anyway."
Nuwa's powerful argument left me speechless, and I could only command the No. 1 and No. 3 propulsions as required, but there was a small accident in the process.
Chapter completed!
