in the space station.
"DiDi!" The sudden alarm sound interrupted Tom and Jerry's happy routine.
"Huh? What's the situation?" Jerry immediately checked the control panel, Tom also took off his headphones, sat up straight and his face became serious.
Those who can be selected by thousands to become astronauts are all elites among the elites! Tom can be selected, naturally it is impossible to be as out of place as it seems.
"This... the oxygen tank's air pressure is dropping!" Jerry exclaimed.
The two looked at each other, and immediately saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. There is no oxygen in space, and needless to say, they know what will happen!
"Jerry, wake up Butch immediately! I'm going to put on the spacewalking equipment, ready to go out to check the situation at any time!" Tom showed good professionalism at this time.
"Okay!" Jerry replied!
The two acted immediately.
"Woooo~" The harsh siren quickly rang through the entire space station!
"Ha~ what's going on? Huh? This is... an alarm!"
Another astronaut in his sleep, Butch, woke up shocked and rushed to the control room of the space station!
"Jerry, what's the situation, why did you sound the alarm?"
"The oxygen tank seems to have been hit by something, and the air pressure is dropping!" Jerry was sweating on his forehead as he tapped the keyboard.
"What! How could this be! Is it space debris?!" Butch exclaimed.
"I don't know, Tom is already wearing the device and is ready to go out of the warehouse to check the situation. You go to help him and be ready to respond at any time!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
After Butch left, Jerry was the only one left in the control room.
"Jerry, I'm Tom, I'm ready to leave the cabin, how is the loss!" Tom's voice sounded in the communicator.
"The pressure continues to drop, but fortunately, the rate of decline is not very fast, and the damage should not be too big! According to calculations, including the emergency oxygen cylinder, we still have 2 hours and 56 minutes! If the time is up, it has not been repaired. Well, then we can only enter the escape pod and go back to our hometown!"
"Phew! The situation is not too bad, there are still nearly three hours! There is plenty of time, I will go out to repair immediately! Go back to my hometown or something, let's talk about it when you are about to get married!"
"First Evolution"
Jerry: "… "
…
Not long afterward, I saw a hatch of the space station opened. Tom, who was wearing a bloated spacesuit, held a repair gun in his hand and a safety rope was tied behind him. Move the oxygen tank!
After more than ten minutes, Tom came to the oxygen tank, and at first glance found a small crack that was spraying white misty gas!
"I saw it! It's in a prominent position in front of me, thank God! The damage is not serious, it should be caused by the impact of space dust, don't worry! I will fix it soon!" Tom said.
"Great!" Jerry breathed a sigh of relief. "I have notified the ground command center of the situation here! Report the maintenance situation on your side at any time! Be careful!"
"receive!"
Then Tom grabbed the handrail in one hand and came to the breach with the repair gun in the other.
The repair gun is a special repair gun for space equipment. Its shape is somewhat similar to a nail gun, and the muzzle is square.
Tom saw that he aimed his gun at the breach and pulled the trigger.
"Pfft!" When Tom removed the muzzle, the damage on it had been firmly adhered to by a square black repair material, no longer leaking, and it looked like a patch had been applied.
The temporary repair work has been completed, and the damage needs to be checked and strengthened in the future, but normally, this kind of repair is enough.
"It's done! Look, it's just a small problem, my dear Jerry, I'll give you another set of pancakes when we go back! Haha!" Tom joked with a smile, turning to go back to the space station.
"Uh... Tom? Are you sure it's fixed? But the air pressure is still dropping!" Jerry wondered.
"What!?" Tom froze for a moment, then turned to look at the oxygen tank, and saw another breach next to the patch that was repaired, and the leakage of white misty gas was very conspicuous!
"Uh... Maybe... I just got dazzled. There are two damages in total, and one is leaking, don't worry! I'll fix it right away!" Tom replied to Jerry, but he was a little strange in his heart.
I just saw that there is only one damage, right? Can it be wrong at such a close distance
But in any case, it was just a small mistake, and Tom immediately began to repair it.
"Pfft!" Another patch was hit, and Tom checked it up and down this time to make sure there was nothing wrong. "Jerry, it's done. I think I'm sleep-deprived. It seems that I have to change shifts with Butch ahead of time."
"But the pressure... is still dropping..." Jerry said speechlessly.
"What? It's impossible! I've already fixed it!" Tom exclaimed.
He carefully checked the damage twice, the helmet of the spacesuit was almost attached to the two patches, and finally confirmed... The repair is perfect, there is no sign of air leakage at all!
But the pressure is still dropping! Could there be other damage
Tom then began to look at the other parts of the oxygen tank, and there was indeed none in front of him. He turned around the outer wall of the oxygen tank, and was surprised to find that there was actually a damage not far away that was leaking air.
"Uh, Jerry, you may not believe it, but I found the third one!" Tom said speechlessly.
"It's nothing, maybe it's a penetrating wound from dust, both sides. Fix it quickly, these precious oxygen leaks are a huge loss for us, and it's causing minor damage to the orbit of the space station. influences!"
"I see!" Tom sped up to the damage and started repairing it.
However, what he didn't notice at all was that while he was doing the repair work, at the upper right of him, a silver needle suddenly poked out from the inside of the oxygen tank, and then retracted into the oxygen tank awkwardly, and then White misty gas escaping from it cheerfully.
After Tom had mended the third one, he soon found a new one on the upper right, and he swears, he just glanced over there, and two minutes ago, it was absolutely intact!
"Damn it! I found the fourth one! What the hell is going on, I just saw that there was no gap at that spot!"
"Tom, make sure you're not joking, stop playing! Hurry up and fix it, nearly half an hour has passed! We've already lost a lot!" Jerry said anxiously.
"I swear I'm not kidding! Damn it!" Tom cursed as he rushed over to repair the fourth break, but he couldn't see... The fifth was forming...
Jerry naturally heard that Tom's anxious tone definitely didn't look like he was joking!
"Be careful, Tom, if that's the case, then we may be in a small dust lane, Butch! How's it going on your side? Tom needs support!"
"I'm ready, go out to support Tom now, Jerry, you'd better put on your spacesuit and prepare an oxygen tank, just in case!"
"okay, I get it!"
Afterwards, Tom's incredible exclamation continued to be heard in the communication channel.
"Damn it! This is the fifth..."
"Fuck! Sixth!"
"The seventh..." By the end, Tom was almost numb.
Soon after, Boogie joined the repair army, and there was an exclamation in the communication channel immediately.
"My God! How can there be so many breaches! Is it April Fool's Day!"
"God! I just passed by here, nothing unusual at all! Where did these gaps come from!?"
control room.
Jerry: "… "
…
Outside the space station, I saw two astronauts carrying out a seemingly endless repair work...
Two figures up and down, left and right, BABA... playing a dangerous game similar to whack-a-mole...
Finally, after half an hour...
"Whoosh~ I swear, this situation is absolutely abnormal!" Tom gasped and said speechlessly, looking at the outer wall of the oxygen tank covered with dozens of patches.
"Hoohoo~ Jerry, how is the situation now? We've run out of repair materials! And the oxygen won't last for long!" Boogie was also exhausted. In the case of weightlessness, the human body's activity consumption is even more intense.
"But the pressure is still dropping! And the rate of oxygen loss is accelerating! We have less than an hour left now! What the hell is going on! Why does the oxygen tank have so many breaks on its own? I have observed , there is no sign of dust belts around here at all!" Jerry's tone was anxious.
Tom stared at the oxygen tank strangely and looked at it again and again, "Maybe... there's a woodpecker hidden in it?"
Boogie: "… "
Jerry: "… "
