I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 344 Sleeping
The lights in the hibernation cabin dimmed, and a breathable liquid was poured into the entire hibernation cabin from the bottom of the cabin. This liquid can be directly breathed by humans. First, it can enter the human body through the five sense organs to fill the gaps in the body, and second, it is used to protect human tissues. Tissue necrosis will not occur due to freezing and expansion of water molecules at low temperatures.

"Snapped"

"Why did you hit me?!"

"You rascal! You, you, that thick one in your trousers. Yes, what is it?"

"A pack of compressed biscuits! If we wake up from hibernation and are not rescued, wouldn't we starve if we don't prepare something?"

"Then you, stay away from me, don't stab me with that thing!"

"How could I stab you! How can I stay away from you in such a crowded space! Big sister!"

"Snapped"

"Why did you hit me again?!"

"You are the eldest sister! Your whole family is the eldest sister!"

"I... Gulu Gulu Gulu..."

The breathable liquid filled the entire hibernation cabin, and soon the two fell into a deep sleep, and the entire wreck of the Mace was completely plunged into darkness amidst a flash of light.

Several dilapidated spaceships have just passed through the dense asteroid belt of this binary star system and came to the outskirts of the entire galaxy. These are small spaceships with a length of only more than 20 meters. They look like trucks, dragging a few long metal chain.This is a very old engineering spacecraft that can only carry 2 to 4 people. In the past, they were mainly used to haul some valuable small meteorites to space factories for processing or smelting.

The hulls of each of these spaceships have been patched with several colorful metal patches, and the entire hull is shaking regularly with the working fluid ejected from the jets behind it, as if it will fall apart in the next second. , but he persevered tenaciously.

"Uncle Rhodes! Will we find some ancient spaceship wrecks this time?" A brown-haired boy in the leading spaceship asked the man driving the spaceship.

This man is an old man who looks quite old, with gray hair and a beard all over his face, with a homemade cigarette dangling from his mouth, which is usually not allowed to be smoked inside this small spaceship.

"Hahaha, how can there be such a good thing? Can we meet the spaceships of the ancients every time?" The bearded old man called Rhodes laughed, his voice was very hoarse, and it sounded like There is always a mouthful of phlegm in the throat that has not been spit out.

"It would be great if we met, and a few spaceship control chips will be enough to get a ticket to the Star Ring Alliance!" The boy said with some longing.

"Stop daydreaming all day long! You don't have that fate! Honestly follow me and be a free man! I also need to find a few more chips. What good things can be left in the wreckage of the spaceship you encounter now? Pick A few metal plates of good quality can be pulled back to repair the spaceship." Rhode hit the boy with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Smoke gun, smoke gun, there are a few water ice meteorites in front of you! Hurry up and go to Theresa's Tavern after this delivery, how about having fun?" A communicator with a "sizzling" noise There were the sounds of other ships.

"Mouse, you threw all your little money into the tavern! Is this time enough to pay off the last debt? Have fun, don't be thrown out before the tm enters the door, right?" Rhodes He yelled at the communicator with his hoarse voice, and immediately there was a burst of laughter from the communicator, as well as the curse of the man called the mouse.

Rhodes was about to steer the spaceship to approach the water ice meteorites, then turned his head to look at the boy sitting on the cover of the toolbox with his knees hugged behind him, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath of the cigarette in his mouth, and said to the communicator : "I went a little further this time. Didn't I say that the hydrogen bomb space mines outside had exploded? There seemed to be more than a dozen of them. Maybe there was an extraterrestrial meteorite flying in. I'll take a look this time."

"What's so interesting about that thing that blows up every now and then? It's hundreds of years old, and no one maintains it. If you run too far for the fireworks, be careful that you won't be able to earn back the fuel money!" Someone reminded in the communicator.

"Haha, when did my Lone Ranger lose money when I sailed? Don't be jealous when I bring the extrasolar meteorite back and sell it to the Science Council!"

There was another burst of laughing and cursing in the communicator, and Rhodes argued with them a few more words, and turned off the communicator.He turned to the boy and said, "Thales, your boy is lucky today, I am in a good mood today, I will take you to the edge of the galaxy to try your luck!"

The boy named Thales grinned happily when he heard the words. Rhodes smiled and glanced at the boy who smiled cleanly, took a deep breath of the cigarette on his mouth and said, "Sit still!"

Then he pushed the joystick on the left hand side, and the light behind the engine of the towing spaceship he called "Lone Ranger" began to brighten, and the speed began to increase slowly. Of course, the entire spaceship's hull also shook more violently.

……

Three days later, a black charcoal-like frozen meteorite stood next to it.Rhodes docked the Lone Ranger next to the meteorite, and he needed to replenish the working fluid.The working fluid that a spacecraft like the Lone Ranger can carry is only enough to fly for more than three months, and it took exactly three months for them to bring out the asteroid densely.

There are a large amount of proto-nebula material remaining after the formation of the main star of the galaxy in the periphery of the star system or the double brown dwarf galaxy where they are located. They will also slowly gather under the action of gravity to form various ice meteorites and comet nuclei.These small celestial bodies are rich in deuterium, hydrogen, water, methane and other elements and compounds, which are very suitable for old-fashioned spacecraft like the Lone Ranger.

The deuterium in it will be used to supplement the fuel of the small fusion engine it carries, the water will be stored in the water tank of the spacecraft, and the remaining unusable material will be used as a working fluid, heated and accelerated by the fusion engine, and then ejected as the Lone Ranger. motivation.

"Thales! Be quicker, kid! Connect this pipe to the fuel tank behind the spaceship!" Rhodes was wearing a spacesuit that was so old that it was yellow in color, and he held a pipe tens of meters long in his hand. Inserting one end into the comet's nucleus, he yelled through the walkie-talkie to Thales, who was ready to help beside the Lone Ranger.

"Uncle Rhodes, I'm ready!" Thales' voice came from the intercom.

Rhodes pressed a button on the waist of his spacesuit, but nothing seemed to happen. He touched his head through the helmet of the spacesuit, and then slapped and patted the button on his waist hard, like a Patients with lumbar muscle strain have the same injury attack.

As the indicator light on the fuel tank of the Lone Ranger lights up, the tube inserted into the comet nucleus begins to vibrate, which is the material that the fuel tank is extracting from the comet nucleus.

As the fuel tank indicator light turned from red to green, Rhodes put away the pipe and flew towards his spaceship.After arriving at the spacecraft, he found that Thales, who was supposed to help him remove the inserted tube, did not move at all. Rhodes slapped Thales' spacesuit helmet and cursed.
