An ancient Chinese poem says: "Returning to Jiangling in a single day from a thousand miles away."
For Ye Chen, who was in near-Earth orbit, this day was more than ten thousand miles long.
At this time, MOSS 1 had quietly arrived near the International Space Station, less than 100 kilometers away in a straight line.
Ye Chen stood in front of the observation window, looking at the International Space Station hanging in the distance, which looked like a bright pearl hanging in the night sky.
A strange light flickered in his eyes as he began to ponder: "There are quite a few good things inside the International Space Station. Could we try to get some of them?"
It's important to know that the International Space Station, the first large space station built by humankind, has been operating continuously for 23 years.
During this period, thousands of scientific research projects were carried out on it, and a great deal of results and data were obtained. When it comes to understanding the space environment, the International Space Station is definitely number one.
"Zhi Zi, can you hack into the International Space Station servers now?" Ye Chen asked, thinking of this.
Zhizi said, "Master, no, the International Space Station's servers operate independently and are not connected to the Internet."
Ye Chen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, let's just install the spy device directly into the International Space Station."
Having made up his mind, he piloted Mousse 1 slowly toward the International Space Station.
The International Space Station primarily performs Earth observation and space observation. It is not equipped with radar or other detectors, so its ability to detect its surrounding environment is very weak, even less than that of an ordinary warship.
The crew on the International Space Station were completely unaware of MUSIS's approach.
Distances in space may seem short, but in reality they are thousands of miles apart. Even at the speed of MOSS 1, it took nearly half an hour to approach the International Space Station.
Looking at the International Space Station, which was similar in size to MOSS-1, Ye Chen pondered how to get closer and quietly install the spying equipment on it.
He maneuvered MOSS 1 around the International Space Station, finally finding enough space between the two solar panels for the bow of MOSS 1 to approach.
Under Ye Chen's control, Mousse 1 slowly approached the International Space Station, stopping when it was less than a meter away from the station.
During this process, some minor collisions inevitably occurred with some irregular protrusions.
After stopping, Ye Chen dispatched an engineering robot that climbed directly from the hull of Mousse-1 onto the surface of the space station.
At this time, there are three people stationed on the space station, one from the United States, one from the United States, and one from the United States.
They were carrying out their routine mission when suddenly, Mark from the US listened intently for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look, "Did you two hear a crash?"
The little man and the man from John listened intently and said, "We didn't hear anything..."
Before he could finish speaking, a dull thud was heard.
The sound was coming from the surface of the space station, as if something had hit it.
"Space station has been impacted!"
They said it in unison, then looked at each other and saw a deep unease in each other's eyes.
In space, if a space station is hit by a meteorite or debris, it will most likely penetrate the outer shell of the space station, and in severe cases, it may even destroy the space station.
If such a disaster were to occur, all three of them would die without a burial place.
All three were experienced astronauts, and they immediately suppressed their unease and began to check the space station's systems, trying to locate the impact site.
However, to their surprise, all the systems showed that the space station was working normally, with nothing unusual.
However, the banging sounds rang out again, this time clearer and louder.
Outside the space station, engineering robots, clinging to the outer shell, slowly made their way to the communication antenna located below, where exposed communication cables were visible.
After crawling for ten minutes, the robot reached the exposed wires, then cut them open and inserted a small spying device.
Then, the wires were immediately connected, taking less than a minute in total.
After completing its mission, it slowly crawled back to Mousse 1 along the surface of the space station.
Inside the space station, the three listened to the increasingly clear "bang bang bang" sounds outside, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts.
Mark, looking frightened, spoke first: "It sounds like something is approaching outside?"
The John people comforted themselves, saying, "Impossible. This is outer space. How could there be anything in outer space? There is no life in outer space."
As he spoke, his voice trailed off, and a sudden thought struck him, prompting him to exclaim, "Could it be an alien creature?"
“Absolutely impossible. This is Earth’s orbit. We’ve explored the surrounding planets many times, and there’s no extraterrestrial life here. Let’s not scare ourselves. I suggest we go outside and take a look.” Mark shook his head, rejecting John’s guess.
"If it really is an alien creature, going out of the cabin now is tantamount to suicide. I oppose going out of the cabin." Upon hearing about going out of the cabin to investigate, Xiao Rizi immediately objected.
Suddenly, the Johns shouted, "Communication signal lost! Unable to contact ground control!"
The other two were also shocked and rushed to the communication equipment, frantically checking it.
In outer space, losing contact with the ground is tantamount to being exiled!
However, less than a minute later, the communication equipment returned to normal without any warning.
Immark quickly turned on the microphone: "Calling ground control, calling ground control, this is the International Space Station, please respond."
"International Space Station, this is ground control center, is there a problem?"
Hearing the voices of the ground control center staff coming through the microphone, Mark breathed a sigh of relief and reported the communication loss and the strange noises he had encountered to the ground control center.
During his report.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound from before rang out again, originating from outside the space station, passing through layers of shell, and echoing in this confined space.
Meanwhile, the strange sound was also transmitted back to the ground control center via communication equipment.
Upon hearing this sound, the staff at the control center were also alarmed. They immediately reported the situation to their superiors and requested assistance.
Soon, several experts rushed to the hall, listening to the sound with serious expressions.
These experts, all authorities in their respective fields, listened intently, trying to decipher the mysterious voice, their faces filled with confusion and surprise.
In less than ten minutes, the sound disappeared, just as suddenly as it came.
The entire hall fell silent, with only the experts' discussions continuing.
