After five days of orbiting, gravitational slingshots, and entering the moon orbit, this spacecraft named "Moon 7" finally arrived in the moon orbit without any danger.

At this time, the spacecraft's fuel has almost reached its limit. The remaining fuel can be allowed to change the orbit by a small amount of 8 to 10 times and 3 to 4 times in large amounts.

Therefore, landing is imminent. Whether it is the NASA headquarters in Houston Space City, or Hawke and Wade from the Moon Outpost 1, they are involuntarily nervous.

Nowadays, spacecraft does not require much fuel to be consumed, but if you delay it, it is very likely to delay landing.

October 19, around 1 a.m.

At this time, the Moon Outpost 1 has entered the lunar white period. Moon VII, which orbits the above orbit, is planned to begin landing.

At least they don't know that danger is coming to the moon.

Changong Space Station.

Qin Anmin, the head of the Moon Emergency Office, is paying close attention to extreme astronomical phenomena that may affect the moon.

Especially after the last high-intensity solar storm, the local area only launched a 12-long solar wind monitoring satellite, sending three solar wind monitoring satellites to the Lagrangian point L1 of the sun and the blue star, and establishing a solar wind observatory.

Currently, these three monitoring satellites are orbiting the Blue Sun Lagrangian point L1, using a multi-layer composite protective layer to reduce the impact of solar storms.

Although the ray flow of solar storm is at the near-light speed, neutron flows, proton flows, charged atom flows, etc. do not have near-light speeds, and there is a time difference of several hours.

At this moment, a sun ray swept across the blue sun Lagrangian point L1.

The instant data is then fed back, and through the synchronous orbit communication satellites, the supercomputing system of the headquarters instantly calculates the intensity of the solar wind.

In the Changong Space Station, Qin Anmin, who was in the astronomical data cabin, suddenly frowned, and a notice from the headquarters popped up on the computer page.

[Please pay attention to preventing solar storms. The intensity of this solar storm is level 9.2,...]

He immediately sounded the alarm and issued a solar storm warning.

Although the solar storm below level 10 is like a breeze blowing on the face, it is hard to make a slight sensation for the blue stars protected by magnetic cages.

However, the moon without a natural magnetic cage and solar storms above level 8 may have negative impacts on the spacecraft.

Hongwan Plain No. 1 Heating Well Power Station.

An emergency notice rang out of Fang Hong's internal communication channel: "Astronauts working outside, please note that a solar storm is coming, please enter the bunker, pay attention to protection... Repeat..."

Upon hearing this news, he immediately stopped drilling and trotted towards the space capsule area.

Although two of the eight space capsules are power capsules (there are about 27 tons of fuel left), and six are functional capsules.

Among the six functional compartments, one is a substation, one is a distribution compartment, and four are accessories compartment of power stations.

Most of the accessories in the accessories cabin must be assembled into a power station, and there will be an empty shell in the end. Due to the full utilization, these empty shells have taken into account the secondary transformation at the beginning of the design.

At present, two component cabins have been vacant, and people have been sent to the Guanghan Palace Master Base to install lead composite panels in these two cabins and add some life modules inside.

Although it is relatively simple, the conditions are much more than before.

Fang Hong had just arrived at the simple living cabin, and Li Jianxian also appeared not far from him. The two of them quickly removed the dust and entered the simple living cabin.

However, they did not take off their exoskeleton spacesuits, because in case of problems with the space capsule, they can also use the exoskeleton spacesuits, which can provide an additional layer of insurance.

Other astronauts working outside also retreated to the base or entered the off-road vehicle directly.

A 9.2-level solar storm can already harm some spacecraft. In case of precautions, personnel should try not to directly appear in the wilderness on the moon.

Time passes minute by minute.

About two hours after the rays flowed, the flow of particles immediately following swept across the moon and white area.

At this time, the Moon VII spacecraft, which was about to land, happened to be swept away by dense particles in the sky above the moon white area.

In an instant, some electronic components of Moon VII experienced system abnormalities.

However, Houston Space City, which is responsible for the control, did not immediately discover that there was a delay of about 3 minutes because of the communication between the moon and the Blue Star.

However, Hawke and Wade, who are at the base of the lunar outpost 1, do not have the main control authority, only the authority to assist in landing.

In ordinary cases, communication delays can also be overcome by setting programs in advance, and with the assistance of the lunar base, there will generally be no major problems.

However, the situation encountered on Moon VII at this time was a moderate-intensity solar storm. The login procedure set by itself has already occurred abnormalities and manual intervention is required to correct it.

However, because of the communication delay, NASA headquarters did not know that Moon VII was under the impact of a particle flow from a solar storm.

The landing continued, the engine was spewing light blue flames, flying rapidly from the direction of the Moon Outpost 1.

Three minutes later.

Inside the command center of Houston Space City.

Finally, I received abnormal data from Moon VII feedback, but it was too late at this time.

"Fake!"

"Oh! NO!"

"what to do?"

"Damn it!"

The people in the command center suddenly looked extremely unsightly. They were about to succeed, but they did not expect that there would be a problem at the last moment.

Lunar VII is approaching Outpost 1 at a speed. According to the scheduled trajectory, it will land in an area about 2.4 to 2.5 kilometers south of Outpost 1 in 2 minutes.

It was just that due to the abnormal program, the brake time of one of the auxiliary engines was about 4.7 seconds slower.

Just these 4.7 seconds have caused terrible consequences.

There are a total of six auxiliary engines on Lunar VII. If one of them is slower, it will cause abnormal flight direction and speed.

This caused the landing time of Moon VII to be suddenly advanced by about 7 seconds, and the landing position was 2.4 to 2.5 kilometers southward, and about 1.5 to 1.6 kilometers southeastward.

What's even more terrifying is that the landing time is advanced, resulting in the flight speed much faster than the scheduled landing speed.

One minute later.

Before Lunar VII could reverse the thrust and slow down, the spacecraft plunged into the moon sea and directly broke into pieces.

A large number of lunar soil, small stones, and spacecraft wreckage sputtering in all directions.

The moon's low gravity subvacuum environment allows these sputtered stones, lunar soil, and wreckage to fly relatively far.

At this time, the outpost, which was only about 1,542 meters away from the crash site, was the first to be hit.

There are still some lunar soil, the key is the small stones and the wreckage of the spacecraft.

Outpost 1, three spacecraft wreckage and two small stones directly smashed through a living compartment and two scientific research compartment.

[Alarm! Air leakage and pressure loss occurred in the A2 of the living compartment.]

[Alarm! Air leakage and pressure loss occurred in scientific research cabin B2.]

[Alarm! Air leakage and pressure loss occurred in scientific research cabin B3, and chemical agents leaked. Please deal with it as soon as possible...]

"Farke Squid!" Wade cursed in panic.

Hawke and Wade quickly retreated to the living compartment A1 and then closed the hatch door to prevent air leakage and pressure loss in the living compartment A1.

Just looking at the messy base and the crashed Moon 7 spacecraft, the two of them were in a very deep mood.
Chapter completed!
