Chapter 52 Chapter 43 Rescue

The first order of business facing Captain Laplace and his crew was to stabilize the ship in all conditions and readjust themselves, but the Galaxy did not get a single thing right. The spacecraft is designed for two modes of operation.Either there is no gravity at all, or it moves in the axial direction during engine propulsion.But the Yinhe is now stranded on the island almost sideways, and all the floors have become walls. The current situation is the same as living in a lighthouse that is tilted to one side. Every piece of furniture must be moved, at least some Half of the equipment is not functioning properly anymore.

All Captain Laplace can do is secretly pray to heaven.The crew was busy rearranging the Galaxy's interior, prioritizing drainage works, and as long as the hull remained watertight and the muon generators continued to provide power, they were in no immediate danger.It only needs to survive twenty days before they can be rescued by the Universe.No one mentioned that the unknown forces manipulating Europa might object to the landing of the Cosmos, and it was understood that everyone was deliberately ignoring this issue, because they were unwilling to prevent this well-intentioned mission... .

However, Europa does not seem to be as cooperative as it was a few days ago. When the Yinhe was drifting in the sea, this small world was completely unaffected by earthquakes, but now the spaceship has become part of the land structure. Hours would be shaken by earthquakes.If it had landed vertically, it must have capsized by now. Earthquakes are uncomfortable but not dangerous, but for those who have lived through the Tokyo earthquake in 3-3 years or the Los Angeles earthquake in 4-5 years, it is indeed a nightmare, let them understand that this earthquake is completely regular Being measurable doesn't make them any better.They are completely unable to predict what will happen in the future. Every three and a half days when Io passes through Europa's inner orbit, there will be the most frequent and intense earthquakes. Knowing that Europa's gravity waves will also affect Io to the same degree The injury doesn't make them feel any better.

After six days of hard work, Captain Laplace was satisfied that the Yinhe was still able to maintain the appearance of a spaceship under such a difficult environment.He declared a day off, and most of the crew slept through it before mentally arranging the work schedule on the satellite for the next week. Scientists hope to explore this unexpected new world.According to the radar map sent to them by Gurneymede, the island is fifteen kilometers long and five kilometers wide, and the highest point is only one hundred meters. Some people predict in dismay that its height cannot be used to avoid the terrifying tsunami.

It's hard for these people to imagine a darker and more terrifying place than this place.It has been exposed to the weak winds and rains of Europa for at least half a century, but the lava covering more than half of the island has not been damaged, and the granite exposed by the thawing of the rocks has not softened. It is now their home. It must be given a name. Some gloomy and pessimistic suggestions, such as Hades, Hell, Devil, Purgatory... etc., were firmly rejected by the captain, who hoped to give it a delightful name.An unexpected and vicious and brave enemy name—Rose Island, was carefully considered, and the result of the vote was thirty-two against, ten in favour, and five abstentions.

In the end, "Refuge" was unanimously agreed.
