922.The day the sun fell (page 1/2)
“The main engine is seriously damaged and cannot be restarted! The backup engine is loading poorly, the energy module pipe has burst, and the main system is about to shut down. Prepare for a fall！”
“Shut up! If you have that time to shout, think of a solution quickly! The main body of the solar ship is very strong, but falling from an altitude of 10,000 meters is enough to destroy it. The Crown Prince is still on the ship, so quickly find a way to weaken the impact.！”
“We can open the ailerons used for flying in harsh environments and find a way to make the solar boat fall into gliding before stopping, but we must calculate the best gliding position, otherwise the accumulation of kinetic energy will destroy us..”
“Then hurry up and calculate it! Where is His Highness Khufu? Who saw him? You guys, go activate the escape cabin! We can die, but His Highness must be sent out！”
General Bhopal's roar echoed on the chaotic bridge, quickly suppressing the situation and allowing the panicked subordinates to take action..
The emergency warning light has been activated in the originally very bright cabin. The shining red light spots and the vibrations from the hull from time to time represent the poor state of the ship at this time, like a giant beast about to be stranded. Screaming, the automatic operation damage control measures have been activated, and the cabin where the explosion occurred has been sealed to prevent the danger from spreading. Several capable soldiers quickly moved towards the location of the rescue cabin amidst the roar of General Bhopal..
But it's really not easy to do this on a tilting spacecraft in such a bumpy environment..
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the missile did not directly hit the operating solar engine due to the interference of Lord Paying. Otherwise, once the thing exploded, its energy level would be enough to turn the "Origin Pioneer" into a flying cloud in the sky. scrap iron.
However, in the nearly thousand years since the Songhai people got the sun boat, they have almost never considered that this holy object given by the Creator will one day fall from the sky. After all, in the inherent knowledge of the Songhai people , the sun boat is a symbol of invincibility on the mainland, which directly leads to the current situation, not to mention the soldiers, even the meritorious General Bhopal is a little at a loss..
However, everyone is absolutely unanimous on one thing, that is, they must protect their crown prince in such a dangerous situation no matter what..
If His Highness Khufu dies in such an accident, what kind of impact it will have on the Songhai Empire is something that these loyal soldiers cannot even imagine..
Therefore, while the spacecraft was falling from high altitude, General Bhopal, whose arm was broken in the explosion just now, rushed to the crown prince's lounge as fast as he could. There were already many guards here. Try to open the locked hatch in a tilted scene where you can't use any force at all.
“Your Highness! Your Highness? are you ok？”
The old general rushed over and knocked on the door and shouted. Khufu's slightly panicked voice sounded from the other side of the door the next moment.：
“I'm okay, General, but Berdinos was pierced by a broken pipe trying to protect me. I was saving him. By God, he lost a lot of blood. What happened to the spaceship? I only heard an explosion.
We're falling, right?？”
“Your Highness! Back！”
Sonnik, the captain of Khufu's bodyguard, got a beam cutting saw used by damage control officers from nowhere. After shouting to the crown prince, the tall Songhai warrior started cutting with this thing. After more than ten seconds, an irregular incision was opened. Regardless of the danger, the old general climbed in and rescued the crown prince who was holding a protective short sword. Then another priest climbed in and rescued the seriously injured Lord Berdinos. Brought it out too.
But at this time, the altitude of the spacecraft had quickly dropped to four thousand meters. Although the war technicians tried their best to open the six hidden ailerons of the solar ship to slightly slow down the falling speed, even if it entered the gliding state, it was still far from the final destination of the solar ship. There were less than five minutes left before the fall..
“quick! Captain Sonnik! Take His Highness and the High Priest to the rescue cabin and take them out of here.！”
General Bhopal shouted and commanded：
“The rest of the people went to the power cabin, where the science and technology officer was trying to overload the auxiliary engine so that it could generate some reverse thrust before falling to help the solar ship weaken the impact. The machinery had been locked and could not operate, and now it could only rely on manpower. activate it.”
“What about you? general.”
His Highness Khufu, who could not maintain his grace even in a crisis situation, clutched the protective dagger in his hand and exclaimed.：
“You must leave with us too！”
“I am the commander of this ship, Your Highness. His Majesty the Pharaoh personally entrusted you and this ship to me. I must do my best to protect you for the sake of the empire..”
The old general said in a deep voice：
“I firmly believe that the sun boat given by the Creator is stable enough, just as I firmly believe that you will become an outstanding monarch in the future. Today's events are just a small trial that is not scary for you. The Creator will protect you, merciful He will also protect us.
Your Highness, it's time for you to leave！
Your staying here will only make the brave soldiers more stressed..”
“I understand, General.”
Khufu took a few deep breaths and said：
“Then we'll see you on the ground, please be sure to take care of yourself.”
After saying that, the crown prince, under the protection of the captain of the guard, moved forward along the tilted hull towards the rescue cabin. The high priest Bertinos, who had fallen into a coma, was also taken away with him..
The great priest really tried his best to protect the prince. The broken pipe almost passed through his waist and abdomen. Fortunately, the Songhai people had strong vitality, otherwise this injury alone would have been fatal..
The old general returned to the bridge with his command knife. There was no one here. Everyone was trying to restart the auxiliary engine manually in the power room. Bhopal didn't have to guess what happened to the soldiers under his command. How hard he worked, he sighed and sat on his captain's chair.
Through the cracked observation window in front of him, he could see the undulating land of dark mountains that looked a little peaceful in the night..
Who would have thought that this desolate place would be lucky enough to witness the first fall of the legendary solar boat?？
Well, for the superstitious, this seems to be a bad omen..
But he is the captain！
No matter what the outcome is, he will go to the end with his ship. Just as he said to His Highness Khufu, he firmly believes that this holy object given by the Creator is strong enough and can protect it under any circumstances. Its passengers are not at risk.
On the other side, the captain of the bodyguard, Sonnik, who was escorting His Highness Khufu to the rescue cabin, was looking at the corridor in front of him that was completely blocked due to the continuous explosions with an unbelievable look..
This is not the only way to the rescue cabin on the lower deck, but the problem is that there is no time for them to take a detour at this critical moment..
The captain of the guard pulled out his molten sword with a cold face and prepared to step forward to clear the way, but was grabbed by Khufu..
“No time, Sonnick! By the time you split this road, the solar boat has already hit the ground. We won't use the rescue cabin.！”
At the critical moment, the Crown Prince was somewhat decisive. He pointed to the other side and said：
“From here leads to the landing pod, where there is also a drop pod for assault, which is the type used by the Godslayer and our warriors before. Only one drop pod can send us all down..”
“That thing needs to be started remotely. Your Highness, I am an airborne warrior..”
Captain Sonnik shook his head and said：
“Now the main system of the solar ship has been shut down, which means that we cannot start the reverse thrust rocket of the assault module, which means that you have to hit the ground directly at super high speed. IMHO, you will die from ruptured internal organs at the moment of contact with the ground..”
“I won't! I have this！”
