Chapter 621: Forced Landing on the Moon

If the shield generator broke down outside, they could just send a few crew members out to repair it. At most, they could make a new one to replace it, and it wouldn't waste much material. But at this time, the Purple Moon was in the Star Stream Channel, where time and space were disordered and full of dangers. No one dared to leave the spacecraft and be exposed to the turbulence of time and space, otherwise they would not even know how they died. It was impossible to send crew members out to repair the shield generator. Now, all the Naga people like Didirul Morgan could do was to pray to their goddess of luck, hoping that they would be lucky enough to avoid being hit by meteorites and pass through the Star Stream Channel safely.

The prayers of the Naga people such as Didirul Morgan had a certain effect. The Purple Moon did not encounter any meteorite impact during the next four hours of sailing. Generally speaking, the star stream channel between two adjacent galaxies is not too long. At the speed of the Purple Moon, it can fly over in about five or six hours. This star stream channel to the solar system is no exception. After more than four hours of flight, the channel is about to end. Even the detectors on the Purple Moon have found the exit of the channel not far away. Just when Didirul Morgan and other Naga people breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they were lucky this time and would soon survive the crisis, a naughty child called fate played a joke on them at a critical moment. A fist-sized meteorite appeared in front of the spacecraft without any warning and hit the tail of the Purple Moon at a terrifying speed. Sparks flew everywhere, metal and rock fragments flew everywhere, one of the three main engines was completely shattered, and the other two engines were also affected and temporarily stopped. Affected by the collision, the entire hull of the Purple Moon shook violently several times and completely lost its balance. The entire spacecraft spun and flew out of the exit of the star stream channel, appearing at the edge of the inner solar system, outside of Pluto.

Didirul Morgan and other Naga people were affected by the collision and were thrown all over the place. Some of the crew members were also injured. In the driving hall, various warning red lights kept flashing and shrill alarms were heard. When the Purple Moon stabilized a little, Didirul Morgan immediately organized the crew to treat the wounded and check the damage to the spacecraft. After a while of chaos, the news quickly gathered here Captain Didirul Morgan. The good news is that the Purple Moon has left the Star Stream Channel and no longer has to worry about meteorite sneak attacks. Only three of the crew members were slightly injured, and the others were fine. The bad news is that one of the three main engines was completely damaged, and the other two also had serious faults and have stopped working. In other words, the Purple Moon has completely lost power and is drifting between the stars by inertia. Moreover, the hull is still spinning and is not under control at all. It can be said that Didirul Morgan and his crew are in a very dangerous situation. If they are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and the people will die.

After understanding the current dire situation, all the Naga crew members panicked and didn't know what to do. Only Captain Didirul Morgan was calm. He immediately came to the front of the spacecraft control panel and manually turned on several attitude adjustment engines. Relying on the thrust generated by them, he slowly adjusted the flight attitude of the Purple Moon. First, correct the rotation of the ship. Otherwise, the subsequent self-rescue measures would be impossible to carry out. The attitude adjustment engine, as the name suggests, is used to slightly adjust the flight attitude of the spacecraft. Its thrust is quite small, and it takes a long time to work to have some effect on the huge hull of the Purple Moon. The attitude adjustment engine worked non-stop for thirteen hours before correcting the rotation of the Purple Moon. During this period, the Naga crew members were not idle. They opened some factories and produced another shield generator. Then they sent two crew members with shield generators to venture outside the spacecraft, dismantled the damaged shield generator, and replaced it with the newly produced one. Didirul Morgan pressed the button to restart the force field shield, and the result was naturally a one-time success. With the protection of the shield, everyone was no longer afraid of ordinary meteorite impacts, and they felt a little more relieved.

The next thing to be repaired, of course, is the three main engines. The current flying speed of the Purple Moon is quite fast, almost reaching more than a quarter of the speed of light. At such a high speed, if it hits any meteorite, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. The most urgent task is to repair the three main engines. Only when they resume working can the speed of the Purple Moon be reduced by relying on the powerful reaction force. Didirul Morgan sent two crew members with rich maintenance experience, put on extravehicular space suits, go to the stern, and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the three main engines. The inspection results are very bad. One engine was completely destroyed by the meteorite, and even a large part of the metal bracket that fixed the engine was destroyed. It is quite difficult to repair it. The remaining two engines were hit by the rocks and parts ejected by the impact, and the outer shell was severely deformed, the internal chamber was deformed, and the parts were damaged. It can be said that they are completely scrapped.

The main engine of the Purple Moon is a large one with a diameter of more than ten meters and a length of several dozen meters. The production process is quite complicated and the raw materials used are also quite precious. Some of the raw materials are not available on the spacecraft at all, so it is difficult to produce them. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice. The only spare part of the main engine was thrown away in order to reduce weight when the black hole crisis occurred. Now that all three main engines are damaged, the importance of spare parts is remembered, but it is too late.

The only solution at present is to dismantle the remaining two damaged engines, bring them back to the Purple Moon, remelt them, and then install them back. But the time is destined to be very long, and it will take at least a month to complete. During this period, the Purple Moon can only go with the flow and rush around in the solar system. Whether it can survive depends entirely on God's will. Faced with such a dilemma, Didirul Morgan has no better solution. He can only organize the crew to dismantle the remaining two main engines as soon as possible, transport them back, and then send them to the factory for remelting. At the same time, turn on the shield energy to the maximum to deal with the impact that may come at any time. The rest can only be left to fate.

Fortunately, the Purple Moon has always had good luck. Along the way, it has experienced countless crises, big and small, and all of them have turned danger into safety, and it has come to this day safely. The same is true for the spacecraft's loss of control crisis this time. For more than ten days, the Purple Moon passed by several major planets and their satellites in the solar system and crossed the asteroid belt, but fortunately no collision occurred. It was not until half a month later that the Purple Moon passed by the huge Jupiter. It was thought that everything was fine, but who would have thought that it was still affected by Jupiter's huge gravity, and the spacecraft's flight direction was slightly offset, heading towards the direction of the earth. The flight speed was also affected by the gravitational slingshot effect and increased a little.

The Naga people are excited now. The second home they have been looking for is right before their eyes. Even without a telescope, they can see the breathtaking blue with their naked eyes. The Earth is so similar to the Naga people's home planet. There is also a lot of liquid water, a lot of plants and animals, and a strong magnetic field. Seeing the Earth is like seeing their lost home planet, which makes people yearn for it and feel excited. The Naga people are also desperate. The re-melting of the main engine has not been completed yet. The Purple Moon is still in a state of unpowered and out of control. They can't slow down or adjust their course. They can only watch the Purple Moon crash into the Earth. If the situation does not change, the only fate waiting for them is the destruction of the ship and the death of the people.

In order to deal with the crisis, Didirul Morgan adjusted the output power of several attitude adjustment engines to the maximum to slightly change the flight direction of the Purple Moon and avoid hitting the earth. However, the power limit of the attitude adjustment engine is not very large. With that little thrust, it is undoubtedly quite difficult, or even impossible, to completely change the flight direction of the Purple Moon in a limited time. On the other side, dozens of Nagas who are good at equipment manufacturing are busy in a huge factory. A brand-new main engine is slowly being assembled in their hands. They have not closed their eyes for several days and nights, just to assemble and install the two main engines before the collision. When the main engine is turned on, either reverse thrust to slow down or side thrust to change the course are good options, which can solve this collision crisis. The dozens of Nagas yawned, but their hands were always stable, accurate, and fast. They were racing against time and declaring war on fate. This is a war that cannot be lost. If it succeeds, the Naga race will avoid the fate of genocide and also find their second home. The Naga race will settle down on Earth, recuperate, grow their tribe, and restore their former glory in the near future.

But the naughty kid called fate played a joke on the Naga people again. They finished manufacturing the two main engines before the collision and reinstalled them. But it was too late. The earth was already close at hand. The two engines were running at full power, but they only pushed the Purple Moon to avoid the earth, but not the moon, and crashed into it.

As smart as you are, you must have guessed most of what happened next. The Purple Moon made an emergency landing in the South Pole of the Moon, if the impact can be considered an emergency landing. The impact stirred up a lot of lunar dust in the South Pole of the Moon, leaving a huge scar, which is the Aitken Basin. Thanks to the protection of the force field shield, the impact did not cause damage to the main body of the Purple Moon, but the two main engines that had just been repaired were scrapped again. At this time, the Purple Moon was buried deep in the lunar soil, and all three main engines were broken, completely out of service.

The Naga tribe suffered hundreds of injuries and twelve deaths in the violent collision, but the losses were not too serious. After the aftermath of the collision subsided, Didirul Morgan immediately organized the surviving crew members to treat the wounded and repair equipment, which took a whole day. By the early morning of the next day, the injuries of the wounded were all under control, and the Purple Moon was almost repaired. At least for a short period of time, it would not be a problem to maintain the survival of the Naga people.

Now Didirul Morgan is facing a difficult choice: to repair the Purple Moon spacecraft with all his strength, and then drive the spacecraft to land on Earth to start a new chapter. Or simply abandon the dilapidated Purple Moon, take all the inventory materials, board the planetary landing spacecraft, and go to Earth. Choosing the former is safer, but it will delay for a long time and waste a lot of reserve resources. Choosing the latter is a bit risky, but it can land on Earth earlier. They, the Naga people, have been on the Purple Moon spacecraft for thousands of years, and have long been looking forward to the planets, the land, the blue sea and the blue sky. Who can leave the life planet next to them and stay on the dead moon, spending several months or even years to repair the Purple Moon spacecraft? Even Didirul Morgan, who was born on the spacecraft, is looking forward to the land life mentioned by his predecessors, and wants to see the sea, the forest, the blue sky and the white clouds. In the past, these things could only be seen on the mother planet. After the mother planet fell, they could only be seen in movies, TV shows, or virtual games, but they lost some of their sense of reality. Now that they have found the Earth that is very similar to the mother planet, Didiruel Morgan can also experience these desirable things in person.

Didirul Morgan called all the awake members of the tribe to a meeting and told them the two options at present. Then all members voted by raising their hands to jointly decide on the future path of the Naga people. The voting results showed that the vast majority of people supported abandoning the Purple Moon, waking up all the tribe members immediately, packing up all supplies and equipment that could be used, and heading to Earth to set up camp, spread out, and expand the size of the tribe. Didirul Morgan also followed the public opinion and ordered to wake up all the Naga people, count the supplies, open all the factories, and produce various tools and weapons needed for planetary development.

In the next few days, millions of Nagas were awakened one after another, all factories were opened, production equipment was running day and night, and a large number of equipment and weapons were produced, either distributed to the tribesmen or packed into aircraft. A small team of more than a dozen Nagas formed the advance team and took a planetary landing spacecraft to leave the moon and fly towards the earth. The mission of the advance team was to land on the earth, establish a coordinate system, draw maps, test the air, water, soil, and environmental data, and determine whether it was suitable for Nagas to survive.

Two days later, the advance team sent back the first batch of test data, with mixed results. The good news is that the surface temperature of the Earth is moderate, and there is a large amount of liquid water in the form of rivers, lakes and seas, existing everywhere on Earth. There are a large number of carbon-based plants and animals on Earth, and even an intelligent race that walks upright with two hands and two feet, but the level of civilization is very low, and they still live a tribal life of slash-and-burn farming.
