When Hades arrived at Pluto, the Russian Starry Spacecraft was still sailing in space. They were still quite far away from their final destination. According to the current flight speed of Starry Sky, if everything goes well, it will take about 20 days.

"How is the situation of a controllable thermonuclear fusion device?" Maxim "floated" from the cabin at the stern of the ship. His face was obviously tired. The Starry Sky was not as good as the Hades. Without artificial gravity, the astronauts of the Starry Sky have been persevering for the past year with their will. After damaging a controllable thermonuclear fusion engine, the Starry Sky was not alone. When they were halfway, a backup device also had problems.

"It's pretty good." Floating to Ivan, Maxim sighed. He had just come from the controllable thermonuclear fusion device that had problems. The situation of the device was not optimistic. Although the problem was not big, in the absence of maintenance equipment and technology, he could only try to maintain the most basic operation.

This approach is also helpless for Starry Sky. Although the controllable thermonuclear fusion engine and backup devices are the most common among the three spacecraft, they face the greatest difficulties due to technical defects and quality problems.

The start of the army was not good. After only one month of navigation, the Starry Sky had an engine damaged. If the faulty device was completely damaged, then the Starry Sky only had the last three engines and backup devices. Once any problems arise, Ivan, as the captain, must first consider the safety of Starry Sky and his crew, and then return.

But Ivan knew in his heart that no one could guarantee that the remaining engines and devices would not continue to have problems. If this situation really happened, it would be a fatal problem for all the astronauts of the entire Starry Sky and Starry Sky.

It is for this reason that Ivan no longer accelerates the safety of the remaining engines and devices, but maintains a uniform speed in space. At the same time, he also asked Maxim to repair devices that have not completely lost their function to ensure that it can provide the basic energy for the spacecraft.

This approach may be extremely stupid to the Americans. You should know that the controllable thermonuclear fusion device is not an ordinary car engine. If there is a small problem, it can be repaired by manual knocking and tossing. According to the use regulations, once there is a problem with the controllable thermonuclear fusion device, it must be turned off immediately to avoid accidents.

In fact, the experienced Ivan also knew this, but he did not have many choices. As a heroic astronaut in Russia, the legendary astronaut who has been in space for the longest time in human history is actually the same in his heart as the President, who is known as the "Tsar".

When the former Soviet Union collapsed, Ivan was just a ignorant boy. His concept of the motherland was not as strong as that of adults. However, as he grew older, especially as he became an astronaut and several senior astronauts, he felt the pride, pride and grief of his once powerful motherland from them.

Because of this, Ivan knew the heavy responsibility he and the Starry Sky shouldered, and understood more clearly what their voyage meant to Russia. In any case, he had to insist on arriving at the destination and completing this task. As for the subsequent competition with the Americans and even the Chinese, Ivan firmly believed that the final victory would eventually belong to Russia.

"Keep running for another three days...not five days!" Ivan said solemnly: "Five days no matter what the situation is, this device must be turned off. Maxim, this job is left to you."

"Okay, please rest assured. I will do my best." Maxim replied helplessly. He knew Ivan's character very well and knew that this was the biggest concession Ivan could make.

He patted Maxim's shoulder heavily, and Ivan asked him to rest first, while he was still sitting in the cockpit, staring at the starry sky outside.

Five days passed, but these five days were exhausted. In order to make this device that almost ended in bed, Maxim only slept for 10 hours in five days and tried hard to ensure its operation.

When Ivan finally informed Maxim to turn off the device and activate another device in hibernation, after doing these tasks, Maxim could no longer support him. With Andre's help, he returned to the rest cabin, fixed himself on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

The Starry Sky has a last journey from Pluto. Looking towards Pluto on the Starry Sky, you can clearly see Pluto's star body and its gray-yellow light.

But because it is still far away, Starry Sky was unable to detect the specific location of the American Hades, but Ivan believed that Hades was there and had already arrived in Pluto's orbit before Starry Sky.

The last moment is coming, and Pluto is right in front of you. Whether it is Ivan or other astronauts, even Yuri, who had previously been the first to return flight, was also excited. After a year of sailing, they finally made history.

Starry Sky continued to move towards its target, turned off the overwhelmed device, and after activating its engine, Starry Sky was like a strong man with full food and drink running towards its destination in high spirits. When Starry Sky was still a few days away from Pluto, Navigator Nicholas suddenly reported and discovered the American spacecraft in orbit above Pluto - Hades.

As soon as Nikola finished speaking, Vasily reported to Ivan that the Starry Sky received a radio communication from the Hades.

"What did the Americans say?" Deputy Captain Peter asked directly.

Vasily translated the telegram and translated word by word: "The Russians... please leave... the US government declares... the United States has sovereignty over Pluto... to prevent unnecessary accidents... please leave the airspace around Pluto immediately..."

"He... how dare they?!" Peter widened his eyes and shouted with an extremely angry expression. The other astronauts of the Starry Sky were also in a big uproar. The Americans actually claimed that they had sovereignty of Pluto? It was a joke! When did Pluto become the territory of the Americans? And he also asked them to leave, saying to prevent unnecessary accidents. Is this threatening and intimidating?

"captain!"

Vasily looked up at Ivan with a serious face. Although he was extremely angry at the rude Americans, Ivan was the captain of the Starry Sky. On the Starry Sky, Ivan was the real decision-maker.

"Reply!" Ivan said coldly: "The universe is the universe of all mankind, and there is no concession in the Russian dictionary!"

This simple reply instantly launched towards Pluto's Hades along the radio waves. Then, without waiting for Hades to react, Ivan issued an order to continue moving forward to his subordinates. The huge Starry Sky did not slow down at all in space and continued to fly towards the predetermined target. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
