Chapter 51 Chapter 23 Make a quick decision

From the wave view image displayed on the bulkhead of the cockpit, I can clearly see that the scene on the surface of the earth is getting bigger and bigger.I am sure that the "Explorer" spacecraft has undoubtedly left the orbit of the earth's satellite and is falling towards the planet at an extremely high speed.Is there any way, I have to try my best to control the braking system of the spaceship... The southeastern region of Asia, Europe and Africa, the coastline near the Pearl River Port, Hainan Island, and a group of coral islands in the south of Hainan Island appeared one after another before my eyes.Immediately afterwards, there was a vast ocean, and the strong wind rolled up huge waves, overwhelming them...

Perhaps because of my perfectly angled elastic seat, I was the first to wake up from the coma.The initial feeling after splashing into the sea is heavy, and the whole body feels very heavy.I wanted to take a look at them, but my head seemed to be filled with lead, and it was extremely difficult to turn around, let alone stand up from the elastic seat.After a while, Pilosi and Suogeken also woke up. Pilosi forgot the remorse before splashing down, and was as happy as a different person.she said to me: "Hey, dear! Didn't you fall to your death?" I laughed and said: "If it wasn't for the manual braking system still working, we'd be doomed!"

"Check our ship!" Thorgeken reminded us. I followed Sorgken and climbed the spiral staircase to the lower level.Just as Sorgken opened the airtight door of the control room, a sound of rushing water came from the door.At this time, the water in the control room was rising higher and higher, and Saugkin dragged me to the back, and quickly closed the airtight door firmly. As we struggled to the door of the next room, the blue signal light on the door flickered rapidly.Sogkin said resignedly: "It's late, the water in the room has exceeded the threshold, and the airtight door can no longer be opened!"

Pilosi came across the corridor, the smile on her face gone.Seeing Sogekken and me, he said aloud: "Three rooms over there are leaking and we're sinking!" "Is the door sealed?" Sogkin asked. "It's all closed, and the water won't leak into the corridor." Pilosi said loudly from behind. "Get in the cockpit right now!" Sorgeken said without hesitation. Sea water kept pouring into the spaceship, causing it to gradually sink.In the cockpit, the atmosphere is very tense.Saugkin said hastily: "According to the current speed of water inflow, our spaceship will sink to the bottom of the sea before the sun sets. Tell me, what should we do?"

Sogkin leaned back on the spring seat, and Pilosi and I sat, all thinking calmly.Pilosi was restless, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore: "I have read the data of the gas analyzer. The composition of the air here is very close to that on our planet, and it is much purer than ours. We should immediately open the airtight door on the top of the cabin and fly to the island with a one-man orthopter !" Saugkin had other ideas of his own, and he said calmly: "Let's go out and have a look." I opened the airtight door on the top of the cabin, and everyone climbed out from inside.The spaceship was surrounded by a vast expanse, and nothing could be seen except the sea.Pilosi was eager to know the position of the island and the land, so he circled up after a few pounces.She saw a small coral island not far from the spaceship, but there was no shadow of the coastline.

After we were all back in the cockpit, there was a piercing screech from a siren. Pilosi paced restlessly in the cockpit, and she said excitedly: "Listen, the water level alarm has sounded, and half of the spaceship is submerged below the water surface! What to do, you decide quickly!" I took her hand and comforted me: "Don't get so excited, calm down. We'll figure it out." I have already seen Suoge Ken's thoughts, and urged him: "Just say what you think!" Sogkin said without haste: "We can fly to a small island or to the mainland, but we can't move many daily necessities, scientific instruments, and mechanical appliances in the spaceship. What can be brought up are only some pocket-sized ones that a single-person oropter can reach. Articles. If the starch synthesis machine and chlorophyll production machine cannot be moved, we have to grow food and vegetables for a lifetime. Of course, we can also do this for a lifetime, but it is of little significance after all. Or to deal with mainlanders, but from the remote sensing photos Look, they are still in primitive times. It seems too early for us to exchange scientific, cultural and technical knowledge with them. I think it is better to let the spacecraft sink to the bottom of the sea and sleep there for thousands of years. Wait until the planet Humans on the planet enter the era of artificial satellites, they will definitely find us and wake us up! At that time, we can tell them the lessons of Eposna and let them learn from it. Wouldn't it be more meaningful to do so ?”

I think that's the only way to do it, and there is no objection.Pilosi hesitated for a long time and agreed. Another piercing screech from the siren, and three-quarters of the ship sank below the surface.Sogkin made a decisive decision, and he declared with confidence: "That's it, let's sleep on it at the bottom of the sea!" "Since it's decided, let's launch the information rocket before the spaceship is completely submerged in the water, so that the people on earth can find us earlier." I reminded him. Sogekken agreed, and he and I went at once to the information rocket launch bay.There are three information rockets here, all prepared for contact with aliens.It was originally intended that once the spacecraft found a living planet in space, it could be launched.In the future, intelligent creatures will appear on this planet, and sooner or later they will be discovered, so that they can get in touch with our planet.I didn't expect to use it to call for help now.

He typed some necessary information into the brass ball of the information rocket, and said to me: "Choose three targets and launch!" I selected three targets: Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and North America.After the command was given, the launch button was pressed, and the spacecraft shook slightly in the sea a few times, and three rockets were launched one after another. At this time, the spacecraft was completely submerged in the water and quickly sank into the abyss of the ocean. Pilosi said uncomfortably: "My God, maybe we'll never get out again!" "No." Sogeken said with confidence, "We must believe in our automatic control technology and hibernation technology; we must believe that people on earth will inevitably develop into the radio age and the artificial satellite era step by step; we must believe in our information. The rocket must be found, the ship must be salvaged."

"Oh, if the earthlings dug out the copper balls too early, wouldn't we have no hope?" Pilosi became nervous again when he thought of this. "No, my child." Sogeken said in a very calm tone, "I have taken this into consideration when I designed the information rocket. I set up an automatic lifting device in the information rocket to keep it in contact with the ground automatically. If the people on the earth happen to land on the top or side of the information rocket just because they are building palaces, building mausoleums, digging canals, digging water wells, or mining deposits, then it will automatically descend and will never be dug by them. If the ground is raised due to sand and spoil, it will automatically rise to the predetermined depth. Only people on earth who have mastered short-wave technology can detect its signal; only people who have mastered microwave technology can call it out. "

After what his father said, Pilosi's mood became much more stable. The spaceship sank to the bottom of the sea, and the soft sediment on the bottom of the sea was stirred by a stream of water, slowly spreading around the spaceship. Sogeken turned on the ultrasonic generator in the cockpit (this was originally a device for recovery personnel to find when landing in the ocean of Eposna), so that the spacecraft, like an information rocket, At the time of day and night, a signal is emitted.In this way, it will be more convenient for people on earth to find us. After he finished this, we walked to the hibernation pod together.When we came to the earth, we used the method of hibernation to prolong our life on the way.We wake up one day a year, get some food, correct our course, and go back to hibernation.This time, there is no need to wake up once a year at the bottom of the sea.We switched on the water pressure relay and planned to sleep until the spacecraft was lifted out of the sea and then woke up.

I lay down on a bed, straightened my feet, and aimed the laser needle at an acupuncture point.I took one last look at Saugken, at Pilosi, then closed my eyes, pressed a button on the side of the bed hard, and drifted off to sleep. ………… Thousands of years have passed.The water pressure relay woke us up.My first thought after waking up was that I had slept so soundly.At this moment, my brain is very clear that what happened thousands of years ago seems to have just happened yesterday.What a reliable hibernation device, thanks to the inventor of acupoint hibernation.I think it is this device that allows us to drive a low-speed spacecraft to complete a long interstellar voyage when there is no light-speed spacecraft. Sogkin and Pilosi also woke up.Pilosi joked: "How did you sleep last night, didn't you have a dream?" Five days later, we saw the continent from the image on the cockpit wall. Pilosi was busy collecting various radio and TV programs, and analyzed the languages ​​in these programs with electronic computers, and found out a language commonly used in the local area. After deciphering it, he input it into a pocket language translator for dealing with people on earth. used when. "Pilosi, don't stay in the spaceship," said Sogekken, "go outside and check it out?" "Okay, I'll go out now." Pilosi agreed happily. She climbed to the top cabin and pushed the seal.The sealing cap remains motionless.She asked me to help, I found an electromagnetic hammer, climbed up and knocked on the sealing cover.It looks like maybe the sealing cap is glued to the case.I hit the cover hard with an electromagnetic hammer, and there was a muffled sound on the cover.After a while, the lid finally opened, and Pilosi climbed out. She stood on top of the spaceship and looked around.It was pitch black, except for a few lights on a nearby boat.When she found that there was a person on this boat watching her, she couldn't help but let out an "ah", hurriedly went down to the cabin, and closed the lid tightly again. You all know what happened after that.
