Chapter 82 Dark Barrier of Mercury(2/2)
An isolation layer is formed on the outside of the spacecraft to prevent the hull from being eroded by unknown media. The application of this technology has been carried out many verification experiments in the earth's atmosphere and in confined spaces filled with corrosive gases and has achieved success. CNSA hopes that it will be used in the face of "
It can also play the role of protective armor when "cloud body".
Yan Shaojun became alert, and she immediately called the base: "'Kunlun' called the base, the spacecraft has discovered the 'cloud body'! Now the thrust has disappeared, prepare to restart manually!"
At the same time, she quickly switched the control system to manual state and tried to reload the thrust to allow the spacecraft to escape the unknown gravity and return to orbit. However, the thruster did not respond.
"The thruster is turned off and cannot be restarted!" Vera seemed unusually calm, but her speaking speed had increased.
The "Great Wall of Clouds" blocked the front like a huge wall, but the Kunlun, which had lost its thrust, was not attracted by it, but flew quickly toward the sun along this "wall".
Just when they felt confused, the inside and outside of the cabin of the spacecraft suddenly became completely dark, as if they were wrapped in a large piece of black cloth, and the sun's light disappeared instantly.
"What's going on?!" Yan Shaojun asked nervously, "Why is it so dark? Have we already entered the 'cloud body'?!"
The three astronauts looked out through their own observation windows - there was no sun, no Mercury, not even a hint of starlight.
"It's not like we're in a 'cloud body'..." Sean said.
Yan Shaojun stared at the echo display for a while, but there was nothing on it.
"Is the magnetic bubble activated?" she asked again.
"No. It's impossible. The spacecraft has lost power!"
"That's strange! It's like a void 'space' here... nothing exists around it! Not even light!" Yan Shaojun murmured.
"Did we enter a 'parallel space'?!" Sean wondered, "Did the unknown gravity just come from a 'parallel space'? And we were sucked in by it?"
"It seems like time has stopped!" Vera said in surprise as she stared at the readings of the atomic clock.
Only then did Yan Shaojun notice that the atomic clock on board the spacecraft showed a row of "0"s!
She immediately tried to contact the base again, but there was no sound in the headset. She suddenly realized that from the time she reported to the base that the spacecraft had lost thrust, she had never received a reply from the base. Although she had not heard anything from the base since then.
The signal from the spacecraft to the earth will be delayed by about 12 minutes, but the signal sent to the base before that time should be echoed now!
The uneasiness in Yan Shaojun's heart is getting stronger and stronger...
"There is something outside the cabin!" Vera suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
Yan Shaojun and Sean heard the sound and looked out the porthole window. Since the lighting in the cabin was still very bright, their own faces were almost reflected on the porthole glass, so it was difficult to see what was outside.
"There seemed to be a red light spot flying past just now. I'm not sure if I saw it wrong, but it doesn't look like a reflection in the cabin." Vera said hesitantly.
Yan Shaojun found a noteboard to cover most of the porthole, then put her face close to the glass and looked around. Now she finally saw clearly that there was indeed a small red-light thing "flying" in the darkness outside. She couldn't
To describe how small it is, it can be said that it is even smaller than a firefly. It can even be said that it is just a tiny red light spot with an immeasurable volume. It is flying up and down and jumping outside the spacecraft at an extremely fast speed.
"What is this? Is it plasma? No way..."
The sudden curiosity diluted Yan Shaojun's previous uneasiness a lot. An absolutely dark space appeared near the sun. This was originally an incomprehensible phenomenon; now, faced with this elf-like appearance in the dark space,
The flying red light spots surprised her even more!
"Sean, have you seen it?" Yan Shaojun turned around. At this moment, Sean and Vera were looking at her at the same time, with confusion and novelty in their eyes. She knew that they had also seen it clearly. "It doesn't seem to be obvious.
Not aggressive. But why are they flying around us?"
The red light spot flew in front of the "Kunlun", stopped beating, and always maintained a visible distance.
"Is it a detector for higher life forms in the universe? Or is it sent by the 'Cloud Body' to monitor us?" Yan Shaojun thought.
