There is not enough propellant.

What a grip...

In this dangerous situation, if you are told that the propellant is about to disappear, it is better to just say you will die.

Under the space helmet, their faces turned pale, and only their hearts knew it.

"Damn it, Jack, say it again!"

"How much propellant is left!" Tom cursed loudly.

"Not enough, really not enough!" Jack's voice was a little whimpered, his legs were a little weak. The space station could survive safely to this day. In addition to Tom's excellent driving skills and the team's excellent navigation ability, the most fundamental thing is to rely on propellants to maintain the correct track.

Especially inside this endless high-energy plasma beam array, the ampere forces with different directions, even just a little force, are very dangerous.

The space station's flight speed is nearly eight kilometers per second. At such a fast speed, even if the orbit is just a little deflected, it may be a big deflection after a few seconds.

The difference is a slight mistake, which is even more vivid in the universe.

For today's space stations, that means that a few seconds ago, it just deviated a little bit, and a few seconds or ten seconds later, it may plunge head-on into the launch area of ​​the plasma cannon and then be instantly vaporized.

So, when I hear that the propellant is not enough, what a grip.

Propeller is really not enough.

"Shit, Shit, Shit! How could this be like this!"

"I should have known for a long time that the plasma injection engine of the space station is not prepared for high-frequency movement, so the propulsion dose is very limited."

"And it's not enough to maintain such a large space station's orbit change!"

"We're going to be finished!"

The heart is beating wildly, and every second is likely to be the last moment of life. At the critical moment, everyone's heart is beating violently.

"No, we can't give up yet, we still have hope."

"Jack, hurry up, estimate how long can our propellant last at the current consumption rate!"

"Quick!" Ruth shouted.

"well……"

Crackling...

"Eight minutes!"

"Maximum eight minutes!"

...

What a bad news.

“That is, we have at least nine minutes without propellant, which is completely impossible!”

“We can’t lose motivation!”

"There must be a way!"

In an instant, a brilliance suddenly appeared...

"We still have a chance to survive!" Ruth's words became a draw to everyone's attention.

"Speak quickly, Ruth! Hurry!"

The space station had shaken several times in just over ten seconds, and Tom was fully focused on driving the space station.

"Disassemble! Let's abandon the excess cabin!" Ruth shouted.

"Abandon the edge cabin!"

"To reduce weight to the space station, we can save fuel! Save propellant!"

Ruth's words seemed to rub a flash of lightning in their minds...

Everyone immediately reacted.

There is no need to consider how to choose.

"Yes, yes, yes, we still have a way out!"

"Abandon the cabin and lose weight! The mass becomes lighter, and the reaction force of the engine jet equal momentum conversion will become larger, and our propellant will be used for a longer time!" Mike grabbed the life-saving grass and said excitedly.

"But abandon the cabin, those unfinished experiments, and if they fall into the atmosphere..." Jack hesitated a little.

"Shit! When are you still thinking about this!"

"Your worries are worthless. If we don't go out, all the experiments will be gone. Also, the dense plasma beam and magnetic field, the abandoned cabin will be pulled over and gasified in no time..."

"Quick! Abandon the cabin!"

“The sooner you act, the more you save propellant, the better it will be for us!”

“The electric unlocking facility is locked, we have to go to the cabin!”

"Quick! Come with me!"

At the critical moment, there is no hesitation.

In the race against time, in less than a minute, Mike had arrived at the cabin that was about to leave, and the isolation door had been closed.

"Hold it all!" Mike shouted.

"Follow my command, 3, 2, 1! Open the gate!"

Click!

A sound of metal stents sounded, and the two cabins behind were directly decoupled, losing the support of the main body, and quickly changed direction in this chaotic magnetic field.

At the same time, the main body of the space station shook violently due to the separation of the cabin...

Holding the handrail tightly, the body swung violently in the air, bang! bang! bang! bang!

The body hit the bulkhead back and forth, and it still hurts even if you are wearing a space suit!

After several violent swings, the space station stabilized slightly again.

Mike immediately waved his hand and signaled everyone to rush back, "Hurry up, let's continue! Two are not enough!"

"There's not much time!"

"We must be as soon as possible!"

After doing this, it will take about four minutes.

Mike and others released three times again, six-section cabins.

"It's... so... so... so... so... so... so... so... so... so!" The noise inside the radio is very high, and you can still hear it clearly after repeated several times.

"Okay! Let's go back." Mike waved his hand, very excited.

As long as Tom keeps playing, they succeed in saving themselves.

"Mike, you're bleeding, there are blood beads in your helmet."

"What's this? This is the blood of bravery." Mike laughed.

...

A minute later, several people returned to the cockpit.

"Beautiful job, guys."

“Our propellant is now enough to support us in this lap!”

“We succeeded in saving ourselves again.”

"If it weren't for our urgency, we would be in danger of losing the propellant!"

"Tom, let's see you next." Ruth shouted.

"Don't worry, Ruth, I haven't been to your house yet."

Just then...

When Tom held the putter, his expression was shocked. The feedback felt wrong, and the operation seemed to be easier to control. When he looked outside the porthole, he was stunned.

"this……"

Tom's distractedness scared everyone to death.

"Damn, Tom, what are you doing!"

Tom was not angry, and then he even let go of the joystick with both hands and looked out the window. The situation was very obvious, the light was declining, and it was declining rapidly.

Less than a few seconds.

Outside space, it was restored to a dark appearance. Everything seemed to have never happened. Only occasionally, a dark blue plasma beam fell from afar, which was completely incomparable to the scale of the sea of ​​thunder just now.

The space station also stopped shaking, running very smoothly, and the electronic system is also returning to normal. The only abnormal thing is that a large part is missing...

Jack looked at the time and started counting since then. It has only been more than six minutes. In other words, even if they don’t give up on those cabins, they can live well now.

Through the porthole, you can also see a flying object floating in space not far away. They should be the two space warehouses they abandoned last...

The original thrilling self-rescue seemed to turn into a cold joke in the blink of an eye, and even the surprise that survived the disaster was diluted.

"What's going on?"

"No...no?"

"The battle is over?"

"Is this gone?"

"Why is it gone?"
