In his sleep, another astronaut, Butch, woke up frightened and rushed to the control room immediately!
"Jerry, what happened and what sounded the alarm?"
"The oxygen tank seems to have been hit by something, and the air pressure is dropping!" Jerry’s forehead was sweating and banging on the keyboard.
"what! How could this happen! Is it too fragmented? ！” Butch exclaimed.
"I don’t know if Tom has put on his equipment and is ready to leave the warehouse to check the situation. Go and help him get ready to meet at any time!"
"good! I’ll go at once! "
Jerry was left in the control room after Butch left.
"Jerry, it’s Tom. I’m ready to leave the cabin. What’s the damage!" Tom sounded in the com.
"The pressure continues to drop, but fortunately, the speed is not broken soon, so it should not be too big! According to the calculation, we still have 2 hours and 56 minutes for emergency oxygen tanks! If it hasn’t been repaired by the time, then we can enter the escape capsule and go back to our hometown! "
"shout! It’s not too bad. There are nearly three hours left! There’s plenty of time. I’ll get out of the cabin for maintenance immediately! Go back to your hometown and wait until you get married soon! "
Jerry "…"
……
Soon after, I saw a cabin door being beaten and wearing a bloated space flight. Tom was holding a repair gun in his hand and tied an safety rope behind him. He clumsily floated out along the preset handrail on the outer wall and slowly moved to the oxygen tank!
After more than ten minutes, Tom came to the oxygen tank and found a small breach that was spraying white mist gas at first sight!
"I see it! Thank you for your conspicuous position in front of me! The damage is not serious, but it should be caused by dust impact. Don’t worry! I can fix it soon! " Tom said.
"Great!" Jerry was relieved. "I have informed the ground command center about the situation here! Keep me posted on your maintenance! Be careful yourself! "
"Roger that!"
Then Tom grabbed the handrail in one hand and the repair gun in the other, and came to the breach.
The repair gun is a kind of special equipment. The shape of the repair gun is somewhat similar to that of the nail gun, and the muzzle is square.
Tom pointed his gun at the breach and pulled the trigger.
"poof!" When Tom moved the muzzle, the surface damage had been stuck by a square piece of black repair material, and it was no longer leaking. It looked like a patch.
The temporary repair work has been completed, and the damage needs to be inspected and reinforced again, but normally this kind of repair is enough.
"get it! See, this is a small problem. When my dear Jerry gets back, I’ll give you another set of pancakes! Haha! " Tom laughed and joked and turned to go back.
"Er … Tom? Are you sure it’s been fixed? But the air pressure is still falling! " Jerry wondered
"what! ？” Tom paused, then turned to look at the oxygen tank and saw that there was another breach next to the repaired patch. The phenomenon of white mist gas leakage was very conspicuous!
"Er … maybe … I just saw presbyopia. There are two broken places and a leak. Don’t worry! I will get it right away! " After Tom replied to Jerry, it was a little strange in his heart
Just saw a broken one? You can make a mistake at such a close distance?
But anyway, it was a small mistake, and Tom immediately showed the repairman.
"poof!" Another patch was hit. Tom checked it again this time to make sure there was no problem. "Jerry has done it. I think I should change shifts with Butch before I get enough sleep."
"But the pressure … still drops …" Jerry has some words.
"What? That’s impossible! I have repaired it! " Tom exclaimed
He carefully checked the damage twice, and the aerospace helmet was almost attached to the two patches. Finally, he confirmed that the repair was perfect and there was no sign of air leakage!
But the pressure is still falling! Is there any damage to him?
Tom then looked at the oxygen tank, and there was nothing in front of him. He turned around the outer wall of the oxygen tank and was startled to find that there was actually a broken part not far away that was leaking.
"Well, Jerry, you may not believe that I found the third breakage!" Tom has some words
"It’s nothing. Maybe it’s caused by dust. Both sides of the penetrating wound have to be repaired quickly. These precious oxygen leaks are a great loss to us and it is slightly affecting the orbit!"
"I know!" Tom sped up and rushed to the damaged part to start repairing it.
However, what he didn’t notice was that while he was repairing, a silver needle on his right suddenly stuck out of the oxygen tank, and then the thief nervously retracted the oxygen tank, and then the white mist gas escaped happily from it.
After Tom mended the third breach, he soon found a new wound on the right. He swore that he had just scanned it. It was absolutely damaged two minutes ago!
