Chapter 770:

When Lockhart cut Magellan's drive, Li Bai felt a huge shock. There was weightlessness for a moment, and then when the driving force tried to slow the boat, their weight reversed. Inside the airlock, they are located outside the living space of the sphere, suspended below the drive chamber. Li Huai could see the wall of the inner sphere rotating behind him, only a foot away from him, because the living area was rotating with the change of gravity. At that moment, when all the people inside were temporarily helpless, disaster struck.
The adjustment of his airtight helmet has just been completed, and when the broken enemy spacecraft emits lightning like lightning, it is already on the way to the shell port and the rocket launcher. The enemy still had the ability to fight and fired first, and it was very close.
After Li Badi's eyes recorded the flashlight on the small observation board, Magellan gained the full power of the powerful electronic discharge. For instance, thunder sounded in his ears, as if he had fallen into a bath of white flames. The walls of the passage were shining, and the dim light filled the air. Li Hui's body vibrated as if he had been shocked.
He rolled up frantically, grabbed the wall, and almost fell. After a few seconds, his feelings recovered, although his body was still humming from the blow and his ears were ringing. The sight board turned black, the lights in the airlock corridor were dim, and when he tried to stand up, he realized that there was no gravity on the ship. It falls freely without power.
Haines sank at the end of the corridor, and the harbor was almost open. Pushed him over and helped the saki explorer stand up. There was no sound, it suddenly occurred to me that he didn't take the time to turn on the helmet phone. He did so, and the voice he heard asked him if he was okay.
"I'm fine," Li Hao called. "Let's open this port. Maybe we can fight back at least once."
Together they turned the bolts and pushed the thick shell door open. Without the help of telescope sights, they can clearly see the shape of the sun-slappers ship and outline the star screen in the distance. Trying not to think about what would happen inside Magellan—their headsets didn't record anything between each other—they didn't let go of the rocket launcher's tube and pointed directly at the enemy. Haines walked along the passage into the ammunition storage depot, choosing the largest and most evil from the available shells. He twisted the dial on the warhead, and when Li Badi took aim, he pushed it into the rocket. Press the button, and the missile roared from the tube and flew directly towards the weak line of sight of another ship in an arc of fire.
They held their breath for a few seconds, hoping not to see another electric fire. But obviously, the enemy has exhausted the limited resources, because the spider line of the thinner and thinner rocket sparks gets farther and farther, until it seems to touch the surface of the Golden Globe.
Now there is a big fire in the sky, and a lot of fire and molten iron are pouring down. When it is cleared, the sky is empty.
Haynes closed the outer port wearily. "Now, let's see if we also disappeared," he said quietly. They sealed the shell and proceeded along the dark passage.
Even though they were unlocking the toggle switch of the inner hatch, the lights in the corridor started to flash. They will light up dimly, then appear and disappear, light up again, burst out suddenly, and die. Someone on board is still alive.
They opened the hatch. In the central part of the living circle, the lights are also dim, and in some places, the lights are completely off. They appeared and closed the hatch behind them. It wasn't until Haines tested the internal atmosphere and found that it was still pressurized, they opened the helmet and got up hard from the spacesuit, wincing at the bruises they had suffered but had not noticed until then.
The air pressure is OK, but the air smells of burning rubber and insulation. Now that their helmets have been taken off, they can hear the sound above. They found Oberfield lying unconscious, thrown to the floor by the ship's sudden movement. They climbed into the control room. Lockhart floated in the air near the open door, leading to the top of the cabin. He is issuing orders to insiders.
Russ was working on the navigation platform with bandages on his head, trying to figure out where they were going and where they were going, but couldn't access the still dark observation board.
Lockhart twisted them when he saw the weightless air. He seemed relieved and distressed. "I'm glad you are okay, but I hope you can hit us."
Realizing that they had no way of knowing that they had taken revenge in the ship. He explained in a hurry. His words made everyone happy. Lars and Lockhart shouted happily. Detmar lowered his head and passed the news to the two guys trying to make the generator run.
Energy bolts, no matter how they are designed to be used and constructed, will not have the catastrophic impact Magellan originally had. Although the nuclear reactor cannot penetrate this current, it temporarily shut down the electrical system, burned some of its parts, and caused the system to malfunction. , And was seriously injured.
Now is immediately followed by a period of anxiety, during which more and more electrical systems start to work as people work hard to assemble emergency wires and replace burned out bulbs and wires. When the optic disc flickered again, although it did not all work, it was still cheering on the whole. They entered the surrounding sky again, although not all areas were covered.
The buzzing hum in the engine room began to rise and fall twice, and then they felt a surge of power. When the ship began to move forward, Lockhart fell gently to the floor, and then a few minutes later, the drive started again and Magellan was under control again.
"We took what they had to provide, it's not enough." Haines was ecstatic. "Now wait until we finish their main work. We will show them!"
Lockhart shook his head as Lockhart and Rose were working on the controls. "Hope we don't have to show them soon. Our ship is running on emergency rigging. Caton said he will have to stop the ship and reconnect a large part of the system. At the same time, we will be able to reach Pluto safely enough. "
Pluto is visible in the front view mirror. They can see the patches above and below, just like traces of the continent and the ocean, but there is no clear atmosphere there, and there is no expectation.
Readings show that the average surface temperature is approximately minus 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and in many places it is even lower. They searched for traces of the enemy on the surface.
They found what they wanted in the oblate basin of Pluto in the Arctic low pressure zone. There is no ringing station. There are piles of dark masonry structures-powerful structures covering at least one square mile. It is a fortress with many masts and reflectors on its roof. There are two other dumbbell boats patrolling this polar basin.
Lockhart said: "We have no right to negotiate with them." "I will take Magellan into a low-altitude orbit near Pluto's equator. We will not be in their line of sight, but we can carry out some exploration and exploration while repairing. ."
They continued to do so, moving the spacecraft down to a position within a few hundred miles of the water, and orbiting around the equator in a fixed orbit, just a few years ago when an artificial satellite orbited the earth for the first time. They maintain a distance high enough to maintain orbit, so they are close enough to be below the earth's radiation belt.
Counting the ship’s condition shows that they need this delay very much. Repairs cannot be completed within a few days. Almost everyone was bruised or shaken; Oberfield suffered a severe skull fracture; Faraday's leg and pelvis were broken. Shea has a few cracked ribs. The men received emergency medical treatment and were confined in the dormitory.
In Magellan quietly circled Pluto every hour and a half, and the ship tried to resume its normal life. Russ studied the surface below them, the bad elbows of Haynes and Lee. Then, after the three discussed, they approached Lockhart.
Russ said: "We want to get permission to land." "If we take a four-person rocket plane, we can land safely. We have to reconsider before we can figure out how to bring this main station down."
Lockhart agreed. "I was planning a lot at the time. Now we are here and we can't delay time because of injuries. Keep going."
The three of them were ready soon. They put on space suits, equipped the larger rocket planes with equipment, weapons and a lot of extra fuel. Before they left, Lockhart gave them some warnings. "Don’t try to communicate with Magellan over the radio. If Pluto is the hometown of the sunbathing people, you may find yourself surrounded by enemies and tapped. Don’t reveal our existence or status. If you have to talk to us unless Absolutely urgent, otherwise don’t expect a reply."
