Chapter 346: An Influenza Brings Down a Space Station(1/2)
In the high altitude of 340 kilometers from the ground, the International Space Station is flying at a high speed at a speed of 8 kilometers per second.
This seemingly indestructible giant, today, after more than 20 years of service, has become increasingly aging. It looks like an old dragon bell, bloated old guy.
Even after the repair from time to time, it is in various faults anytime, anywhere.
At this moment, the astronauts on the international space stations are facing an accident.
"Damn, the toilet is bursting again!"
"Blame the group of stupid eagle people, eat so much every day, pull so much shit."
Mao Xiong Guo astronaut, Ivanov, cursed his teeth, carefully holding a towel to collect liquid floating in the air.
These liquid exudes a pungent taste, forming a small yellow brown water ball in the air, and it is everywhere.
The space station is quite urged. The astronauts do not have much personal space, and only one curtain is separated from other areas. Therefore, once a failure occurs, the suspicious liquid will be leaked from the pipeline and drift everywhere.
Another astronaut, Nina frowned, followed behind, and collected liquids with the towel in her hand.
After a while, the two had collected the liquid. Fortunately, they moved fast and did not leak on the line around the surroundings.
"Fortunately, the water supply pipe was cut off as soon as the failure occurred, and the leaky liquid was not too much."
Nina relieved, and said while dealing with towels.
"Ivan, you quickly repair the toilet, otherwise the liquid will continue to leak, and we can't go to the toilet."
Ivan carried the toolbox and drilled into the toilet without returning his head. He complained in his mouth.
"Rest assured, we have put on diapers, the problem is not big in a short time."
"Such a day is really crazy. The toilet of 20 million US dollars will happen for three days and two things. Do you dare to believe it? It’ s easy to use the 100 toilet of my house. "
"Shit, this gas -liquid separator pump cannot be repaired at all. It can only be replaced, but we can get the goods when the replacement pump is replenished next time. We have to wear a month of diapers for a month."
He checked it, found that the failure could not be solved, and he drilled out angrily.
"I fucking enough to take this day to urinate every day, I really want to go home immediately."
Nina comforted: "It's almost, this international space station is older than both of us. It must be wrong every day. Fortunately, we can go to our own new space station next year."
Ivan asked curiously: "You explain that the international space station is really about to be closed? Then where do we astronauts go?"
Nina sighed: "Where can I go besides the Tiangong Space Station? It is said that the new space cabin is already under construction. At that time, we will cooperate with Huaxia, and we can use the new space station."
Ivan excitedly said: "That's great."
He suddenly whispered: "I heard that the Eagle Kingdom also applied for a project cooperation with Tiangong, but it was rejected."
"Yes, this is not a secret. Who made them ignore people at first, but now I can't afford it."
Ivan couldn't help laughing: "Haha, watching the Eagle Kingdom eating, how can I feel so cool? I have imagined that they have a expression of eating shit."
The expression on Nina's face was a little disaster: "Who makes the Eagle Guo Astronauts secretly punching on the cabin, who dares to put it up."
"By the way, I heard that the broken solid waste treatment equipment in Eagle Country is probably going crazy now. Noah and Sheldon are probably in a much worse situation than us. They have to manually catch the floating feces."
"Hahaha~"
The two of them couldn't help but laugh out loud as they thought about the scene of the Eagle Nation astronauts floating in the sky, chasing the poop in a hurry.
At the same time, the three Eagle Nation astronauts in the Unity capsule.
In addition to manually catching feces and manually sucking urine, we also face a huge problem.
"Huh~"
Sheldon opened his mouth, breathed quickly, floated in the air, moved his body with difficulty, and caught the disgusting excrement around him.
This moment was the most painful moment in his life, bar none.
Yes, he had a cold and was very ill.
On the ground, a cold is a very simple disease. Even if it is uncomfortable, it is not too uncomfortable.
A strong young man like him won't even have obvious symptoms. He only needs to rest well and he can heal on his own.
However, all simple diseases become serious in the weightless environment of space.
Now, not only does he have to manually grab feces, but his congested sinuses also make him extremely uncomfortable. Not only does it completely block the nasal passages, making it difficult to breathe, but the mucus is also difficult to drain smoothly due to the weightless environment.
My face was already slightly swollen, and the nasal environment caused by a cold made it worse.
He had difficulty breathing at the moment and had to open his mouth to breathe quickly. He was also very uncomfortable, felt dizzy, and his mood was greatly affected.
The narrow cabin, the closed environment, coupled with the bad mood, and finally the lack of rest due to the mission.
A cold that can be recovered in a few days on the ground is still not cured even after ten days in space!
"Shit!" Sheldon cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
It was all his own fault. Who would have thought that there was a cold virus hidden in his body? He didn't know when he was infected. As a result, after his immunity weakened in space, he developed an infection soon after.
Due to the weightlessness, the droplets will not settle, but will remain floating in the air. They will also be circulated to any corner due to the ventilation system, making them extremely contagious, much more severe than the ground environment.
Moreover, this environment will also reduce the efficacy of antibiotics, causing him to take some regular drugs, but his condition has not improved.
Not only did it not heal, but it also infected two teammates.
The other two teammates, Noah and Linda, were infected by the ubiquitous droplets within a few days. They also took medicine to no avail. They had difficulty breathing every day and were in a bad mood.
In addition, the toilet explodes from time to time, leaks, computer viruses, and other malfunctions.
In such an accident-prone environment, coupled with the raging colds, the three of them were severely physically and mentally devastated and almost collapsed.
Sheldon has reported the serious illness of the three people to NASA and is anxiously waiting for feedback from headquarters.
"Sheldon, come here quickly! We have received a reply from headquarters."
A surprised voice sounded behind him.
Sheldon was instantly excited, picked up the garbage bag and floated towards the console.
He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to know the reply from the headquarters as soon as possible.
Nothing can stop his determined pace.
Even some yellow-brown fragments left in the air have been completely forgotten.
However, after coming to the console, he saw two disappointing faces.
Noah and Linda had already seen the reply. At this moment, their faces were pale, sitting in the air, and they couldn't speak.
"What's wrong with you? What do you say?" Asked as he threw a garbage bag while throwing a garbage bag.
"Look at yourself." Noah's voice seemed to be twenty years old, hoarse and desperate.
Shelton looked at the screen, and the whole person stayed, as if he was drenched from the top of his head by a pot of cold water, and he dripped a cold heart.
The reply is very simple, just two lines, full of a cold and ruthless command tone.
"Please endure silently, wait patiently. After three months, the freight ship will arrive, send the replaced fault parts, and more powerful therapeutic drugs."
For a while, Sheldon suddenly fluttered at Noah.
"Why didn't you tell me clearly with the headquarters, we couldn't support it anymore, at least give us a hurry to send some drugs, otherwise you can't do it."
Noah slowly shook her head: "I said it very clearly. The entire cabin now becomes a huge paper towel box. In this way, we have to cycle to use these paper towels. You don't understand, they all know, but they don't care.
"
Serden stunned for an instant.
Yes, the three of them sends health data every day. How can the headquarters be unclear? Now this situation does not care.
Linda suddenly grabbed her hair hard, looking crazy.
"I can't stand it anymore, I want to go back right away. Ah ~"
She suddenly got up and rushed towards the other cabin.
Sherden said in a stunning: "What is going on? She goes rest when she is uncomfortable. What can I run?"
Noah's groaning for a moment means long -term: "Maybe we can go down early, it depends on her."
Suddenly, two years ago, she was also the female colleague. She was accused of drilling a hole on the cabin wall of the bears next door. Just to go back early, she was silent.
I don't know why, he had a little expectation in his heart.
Within a few days, he knew the result.
The first thing to come to the door was a Bulls State Arena, who lived in the same sleep area with them.
Because there are only 8 sleep areas in the International Space Station, some astronauts will stay in the sleep areas of both sides in the Maoxiong and Eagle State Section.
If the sleep area is not enough, the astronauts will go to the floor shop. In the empty cabin, find a quiet place, and hang yourself on the overall to rest with a sleeping bag.
Fortunately, there is a weightless environment. There is no difference between sleeping except for privacy. Anyway, it is a drilling bag.
"Farker, your eagle people are really not a good thing."
"I don't have a good medicine when I have a cold. I cured it early, and I came to sleep occasionally, and I would be infected.
Bulls, the astronauts are so angry that their noses are crooked, but they have no choice, they can only look angry.
To be continued...
