Chapter 938: Blast the Challenger
When putting on the space suit, astronauts look extremely sci-fi, but only those who actually wear it know how troublesome it is. It takes nearly an hour to put it on and take it off. Moreover, after putting it on, they have to breathe oxygen and expel nitrogen. The steps are extremely cumbersome.
So, Nelson is now staying in the airlock, which is filled with pure oxygen and does not need to work any more. He just needs to rest for a while and eat some space food before he needs to go out again for a dangerous space walk.
Nelson is full of hope for this. Before becoming an astronaut, he was an electrical engineer. His favorite thing was to dismantle various things. Now, the space laser cannon launched by the Soviets will be dismantled by him, which will be a very wonderful experience!

Eating space food, which has no food aroma but can satisfy people's calorie needs and replenish the energy they have just consumed, Nelson is waiting for the next spacewalk.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the airlock to become a vacuum state again. Nelson looked at his companions beside him. This dangerous space walk would be carried out by him and Hoftan together.
After all, splitting a spacecraft in two is more than just removing a few screws. It can be a complex and large project that requires two people to work together.
At the same time, scientists from the Kennedy Space Center will also provide guidance. At this time, the sun is shining and can be easily illuminated by the camera. Moreover, it is about to reach the sky over the United States, so the signal can be sent back directly without satellite transmission.

The Kennedy Space Center was also tense at this time. On the big screen, two of their astronauts left their space shuttle and were flying towards the black Polaris more than ten meters away.
The Polaris was still flying steadily at this time. The American aerospace experts were also quite shocked to see such a huge man-made object appear in front of them.
The Soviets were able to launch a one-hundred-ton aircraft into the sky. In the field of aerospace, the Soviets were absolutely ahead. Moreover, this thing was a space laser weapon!

Although the United States launched more than a dozen Saturn Vs at one time during the peak of the moon landing, in terms of carrying capacity, Saturn V could also launch hundreds of tons of satellites into space. However, the cost of Saturn V was too high and NASA simply could not afford it. Especially now, the US Congress has allocated very little funding to NASA, and it is absolutely impossible to launch Saturn V again.
However, the Soviet Union caught up. The Soviet Energia rocket was modular and could launch many things, even the space shuttle!

"In order to withstand the overload during launch, the front and rear sections of the spacecraft should be connected quite reliably, but there should be no beams." A rocket expert said: "First remove all the screws on the outside, and then see how to remove it next."
What a pity! It would be much better if we could get this thing back intact. Unfortunately, our space shuttle is not as big as this thing!
"Understood." The voice coming through the distant space seemed a little disembodied: "We are removing the screws now. Thank God, the Soviets finally understand standardization."
Standardization! In the past, the industrial products produced by the Soviets were very diverse. For example, the nuts of the tires on the same car might be different, which made it difficult to remove them. Fortunately, the Soviets have finally standardized them.

Of course, this was a joke, and many people in the space center smiled.
Holding a million-dollar space power tool, Nelson is removing the screws. The screw standards of the Soviet Union and the United States are actually the same, so the screws can be removed effortlessly!
At the same time, Hoftan was doing the same work on the other side. Sound could not be transmitted in the vast space. The buzzing sound of the power tools could only cause the entire spacecraft to vibrate, as if expressing a great deal of reluctance.
Time passes by little by little.

"Okay, the last screw is out," Hoftan said, putting his power tools aside.
Yes, just put it aside.
In space, everything is in a state of weightlessness. Used tools cannot be placed in a toolbox, so they can be placed directly next to you. The tools are suspended in the air, waiting to be used again at any time.

"Let's try it together. Maybe we can split it into two parts directly," said Nelson.
In space, everyone is a strong man and can easily move dozens of tons of cargo.

"Oh, no!" Just as Nelson and Hoftan climbed onto the Polaris and tried to push the two ends of the Polaris to see if they could separate, a scene that they would never forget suddenly appeared!
They each saw the dazzling beam of light that flashed on their respective helmets. In the dark space, the beam of light reflected from the glass of the helmet was so dazzling.
What is that?

"Laser, laser weapons!"
The two turned around and looked behind them, only to see that the space shuttle they were on was hit by the extremely bright beam of light! At this moment, the space shuttle suddenly exploded violently!
Yes, it was an explosion. Although the main fuel tank had been jettisoned after entering orbit, the shuttle still had a lot of fuel left for use when waiting to return and changing orbits in space. The beam of light went straight from the front of the shuttle to the rear! The engine at the rear exploded at this moment!
At this moment, the two had no other choice. Their instinct for survival made them hug the Polaris tightly and hide on one side of the Polaris.

They heard the sound of bangs hitting the Polaris. The Polaris, weighing nearly a hundred tons, was also lifted by a huge airflow and changed its original direction!
This is simply too terrifying! The two of them were in space, hugging this black aircraft tightly, and fell into the deeper universe.

Their space suits can only hold up to seven hours of supplies. After seven hours, due to lack of oxygen and battery power running out, the two will be trapped in the cold universe and will never return to Earth again!
At this time, they envied their companions on the Challenger. At least, they didn't have to be afraid. At the moment the space shuttle exploded, the blood in their bodies would boil within a few seconds because the pressurization cabin lost pressure. They would walk very fast and would not feel any pain.

And these two people will slowly die in the dark universe and in great fear!
The cold, dark space is no longer peaceful, and war has begun!
