Time November 25, 2145

315 days after the sun "disappears".

The earth is still silent in darkness...

The three people who went to find the "Savior" have completed the "net closing", and now they are carefully controlling their respective spacecraft to complete the final docking work.

In space activities, apart from space walking, the most dangerous task is probably the docking of spacecraft.

This requires astronauts to have ultra-high operational levels and rich operational experience.

Chu Xiaoming, Shen Yinuo and Su Wanxia all have more than five years of experience in outer space work, and have simulated countless times such as spacecraft docking.

But simulation is a simulation after all, and even if it fails, it will only be a loss in simulation data.

Now they are located in the dark realm between the Earth and Mars. Once the operation fails, it will be doomed.

…

"Slow down, um, yes, slower." Chu Xiaoming is the commander of the docking work. He not only has to complete the docking between his own spacecraft and Shen Yinuo's spacecraft, but also pays attention to the docking situation of the other two.

Even with the help of a powerful number sequence core, this work is still very labor-intensive.

"Yinuo, your angle is a bit unstable, please stop for a moment and calm down."

"good."

"Wanxia, ​​you are in good condition now. You can complete it first. Don't be timid. Think about the time trial we have during the drill and show your true ability."

"Well, I'm concentrating on it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clang and Chu Xiaoming's spacecraft began to vibrate noticeably.

"Ah oh..." The docking is completed, but it is not perfect by any means.

After Chu Xiaoming was "bumped", he said angrily: "You can't be gentler, you'll hurt me!"

Su Wanxia was startled when she heard this, and then laughed: "Damn you, what are you talking about!"

Shen Yinuo: "Hmm! You two, there is a lady here."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Su Wanxia stuck out her tongue, and then said: "Sister Yinuo, I'm done here, and I'm just waiting for you."

"Well, is that bottle of champagne still there?"

"Here, I'll get it right now."

"Champagne? What champagne?" Chu Xiaoming asked.

"If I remember correctly, you are an authentic Chinese. As a Chinese, wouldn't you be able to hear my precise words?" Shen Yinuo rarely complained about Chu Xiaoming, and she also finished it at the same time. Docking work.

[The docking has been completed and the number sequence calibration is in progress.]

As the lights flashed, the three specially-made rescue spacecraft completed the final stage of connection.

Chu Xiaoming clapped his hands: "Okay, it's done, you can celebrate."

"Dong dong dong." Su Wanxia's simulated knock on the door came.

"The door is unlocked." Shen Yinuo took off his heavy space suit and put on a white shirt.

The valve is opened and pressurization is completed.

Su Wanxia walked in with champagne.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and the interior of Shen Yinuo's spaceship is decorated quite "pink".

When she saw the painting at the end of the corridor, Su Wanxia smiled and asked, "Sister Yinuo, is this the work you mentioned?"

After changing clothes, Shen Yinuo came out with three cups: "Yes, it's still idle anyway."

"Hmm... this style..." Su Wanxia looked at the darkness in the painting and the eye-catching red: "It's very abstract."

"Abstract? I'm a realist." Shen Yinuo was very surprised, but after saying that, he remembered that he saw that touch of red at Su Wanxia's position.

"Let me see, what kind of masterpiece is it?" Chu Xiaoming also came.

Although the three of them haven't seen each other for a long time, they share each other's breathing and heart rate every day. This wonderful bond seems to be no different from getting along day and night, so the three of them were not as excited as they imagined when they met, and even Su Wanxia came to Shen Yi When he was in Nuo's spaceship, he had an illusion...an illusion that he came here often...but in fact, the three of them were nearly a million kilometers apart most of the time.

"Oh, stop looking, let's drink champagne first, open it!" Shen Yinuo is not good at wine, but at this moment, she is eager to have a drink.

Su Wanxia didn't waste any time, she immediately shook the champagne in her hand a few times and opened it with a "bang" sound.

The wine foam splashed, and Shen Yinuo and Chu Xiaoming both laughed and screamed and ran away.

Su Wanxia turned into a naughty child, using champagne as a water gun, chasing Shen Yinuo and spraying her.

After a few seconds, the "gas" of the champagne dissipated and there was only half a bottle left in the bottle.

Chu Xiaoming's eyes widened when he saw Shen Yinuo in a wet state.

And Shen Yinuo was not angry. Instead, he showed off his fiery figure in front of the two grown men, laughed at himself and said, "Well, the three of us haven't even had a sip, but this shirt has made us drunk first."

Su Wanxia's state at this time was similar to that of Chu Xiaoming, but he didn't have that much thought about Shen Yinuo. After hearing this, he came back to his senses and said: "Come on, come on, let's celebrate."

Chu Xiaoming also came to his senses, but his eyes still looked a little reluctant to leave.

Until the beauty raised her hand and pushed Chu Xiaoming's pig face away.

The champagne was poured, and the three of them sighed involuntarily after raising their glasses.

This sigh contains too many things...

But none of the three spoke.

After a while of silence, Chu Xiaoming took the lead to break the silence and said: "Come on! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

…

The docking was completed in seven hours.

After a short rest, the three began to work on the recovery.

Although it has been proven that there are no signs of life in the cabin of the "Savior", they still hope to save billions of human beings as soon as possible

hero.

After several adjustments, the spacecraft advanced in a rotating manner and reached the capture distance fifteen minutes later.

At this distance, three people can complete the recovery work without getting off the boat.

At a historic moment, the three decided to press the launch button together.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

As a series of inaudible sounds echoed inside the spacecraft, more than a dozen sets of recovery hooks flew silently towards the slowly rotating "Rescuer".

The whole process took about ten seconds.

After the hook is fixed, the recovery operation begins.

But just as the three of them waited with bated breath for the "Savior" to be recovered, a disturbing scene appeared!

The "Rescuer" escape capsule, which was originally determined to have no life signal, suddenly "woke up"!

Not only was the internal lighting of its cabin turned on, but two obvious life signals also appeared in front of Chu Xiaoming and the others.

At that moment, the three of them were shocked, but after a few seconds, their expressions changed.

Su Wanxia was surprised and then excited! Shen Yinuo was shocked and then confused and uneasy! And Chu Xiaoming, he was surprised and then shocked and vigilant!

"They're still alive?! They're still alive!" Su Wanxia said excitedly.

"How could it be? It's been more than half a year. How can they hold on with such little supplies?" Shen Yinuo expressed disbelief.

Chu Xiaoming immediately interrupted the recycling process and said with an indifferent face: "There is a problem."

"Huh?" Su Wanxia also slowly came to her senses.

Shen Yinuo turned aside, and she calibrated the divine signal feedback in the "Savior" cabin again. The results showed that there were indeed two life signals, but the signal radiation intensity seemed a bit abnormal.

"There is indeed a problem! Xiaoming! Interrupt the recycling process!"

Chu Xiaoming immediately followed the instructions, but when he wanted to disconnect the hook and stop recycling, he found that the hook did not obey his command.

"There's something wrong." Chu Xiaoming repeated it several times without success.

Su Wanxia was shocked when she heard this: "How could it be? Didn't you just do it well?"

Chu Xiaoming didn't say anything. He started fault maintenance and inspection, and at the same time stood up and left the cockpit.

"Where to go?" Su Wanxia panicked a little.

"Get weapons." Chu Xiaoming's answer was concise and to the point.

"Take...what to take?" Su Wanxia stuttered a little. He hurriedly sat down and tried to disconnect the recovery hook again, but at this time, the spacecraft seemed to be fascinated by the "savior" and it just refused to "let go" .

Shen Yinuo on the side compared the life signals in the "Savior" cabin and confirmed that there was indeed a problem with the two life signals, so she also got up and went out.

"Sister Yinuo?"
