Then, another video was played on the screen.

That was the distress video sent to NASA by the astronauts on the "Dragon" space capsule.

In the video, astronaut Doug reports to the NASA command center that the life support system on the 'Dragon' space capsule is seriously damaged.

Even if they stop any extravehicular activities, the oxygen on board the "Dragon" capsule can only last up to six days based on the minimum requirements.

In other words, if NASA does not send a spacecraft to rescue within three days, the two astronauts on the moon will be dead.

After the video ended, there was a dead silence in the meeting room, and even a pin falling on the ground could be clearly heard.

All the people who just heard the news looked at the "Dragon" space capsule riddled with holes on the big screen with incredible eyes.

You know, two months ago, the major media in the United States cheered for NASA's return to the moon.

Many Americans are proud that SpaceX has created history and officially opened the era of private manned spaceflight.

But now, the "Dragon" capsule has encountered a major crisis.

Two heroes in the eyes of the American public may not survive a week.

Musk's eyes were round, and he couldn't believe that everything in front of him was true.

He originally thought that the big man called the special meeting because the successful launch of the Huaguo Shuguang-[-] space shuttle brought enormous pressure to the White House and NASA.

Unexpectedly, the trouble came from the "Dragon" space capsule on the back of the moon.

The owner of the White House looked around the conference table, then focused on NASA Director Jim for two seconds, and said bluntly, "Is what he said true?"

He only received a report from the chief of staff that the astronauts on the far side of the moon were in trouble, but he didn't know that they could only live for six days.

Jim understood that he was referring to the astronaut Doug, and nodded, "According to the signal sent back by the monitoring system on the 'Dragon' space capsule, the life support system of the space capsule has lost 80% of its functions. It is estimated that It can last about six days."

The owner of the white house stretched out his hands and pinched the center of his brows, and asked with an unfriendly expression, "What rescue plan do you have?"

"At the speed of the Falcon rocket, it only takes 75 hours to go from the earth to the moon at the fastest, but the latest launch plan is also one month away." Director Jim was silent for a while, and said in a heavy tone.

After listening to Jim's words, the owner of the white house said in a tired and angry tone: "Can't you speed up the progress?!"

If it was in normal times, this news would not cause much sensation.

However, it is now in the stage of a national election.

If the public knew that two astronauts were trapped on the moon, NASA and the White House would have nothing to do but watch them die.

Then the people of the United States will explode, and the reputation of the big shots will be hit hard.

It would be an impossible luxury for the owner of the White House to be re-elected.

Jim turned his attention to Musk, and said as if throwing a pot: "Then ask Mr. Musk to see if SpaceX's Dragon [-] capsule is complete."

Hearing this sentence, Musk almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Shet!

Really think the space capsule is a Chinese cabbage, if you want it, you have it!

Being able to carry out the second round of launch on August 8th has already done SpaceX's best efforts, and he does not want any accidents to happen to the Dragon 15 space capsule.

Of course, even though he complained a few words in his heart, it was impossible for him to just say that.

After a short silence, Musk coughed lightly and continued: "Sir, I have already reported to you at the last meeting that the Dragon [-] space capsule will take ten days at the fastest to be completed, which does not include Time for a full test."

"If the speed is increased, I can't guarantee that the Dragon [-] capsule will not have any failures."

When the owner of the White House heard this, he was stunned.

If the astronauts on the moon are not rescued and the Dragon [-] space capsule has a launch accident, it will be a lot of fun.

He didn't want to take the responsibility.

The owner of the white house thought for a while, then turned to look at Director Jim: "Ten days? Can the Dragon capsule last for ten days?"

"This... There should be no way, unless the life support system only supplies oxygen for one person." Jim was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

The "Dragon" space capsule was originally designed to be used for four to five months, but now that the life support system is damaged, even if there is enough food and not enough oxygen inside, they cannot last for ten days.

As soon as his words fell, the conference room fell into a dead silence again.

For two people, the oxygen in the cabin is only enough for six days, but for only one person, it can last for twelve days.

In this way, the astronauts on the "Dragon" space capsule can fully persist until the Dragon [-] space capsule lands on the moon.

However, the crux of the problem is, who will die and who will live?

With such a simple multiple-choice question, no one can make a choice.

Under the same conditions, no one can decide a person's life and death at will.

What's more, once this matter is exposed, those who do this multiple-choice question will face public criticism and their official career will come to an end.

Such a difficult problem, naturally no one is willing to answer.

After a while, the big man broke the silence: "Is there no other way?"

After hesitating for a moment, Musk tried to speak: "Didn't Huaguo's Shuguang No. [-] just take off, maybe we can ask for their help."

What the hell?

Looking for help from Chinese people?

There is something wrong with your fucking brain!

After hearing Musk's words, the owner of the White House was stunned for two seconds.

Then, almost without any hesitation, he flatly refused: "This is absolutely impossible!"

How could it be possible for the Chinese to save people!
It would be fine if it couldn't be saved, but where would NASA's face be if it was saved?
What's more, the Dragon space capsule has condensed the most advanced technologies of Space-X and other aerospace companies. The research and development expenditure alone is as high as tens of billions of dollars, not to mention that there are secret alien bases on the moon.

The death of two astronauts is nothing. If the alien technology in the alien secret base is lost, the country of the United States will be considered a big loser.

The owner of the white house then said: "Tell the astronauts on the Dragon capsule that we are doing our best to rescue them, so they don't have to worry!"

"But our Dragon [-] capsule..."

Meeting the gloomy gaze of the big man, Director Jim, who instantly understood the meaning of the big man, opened his mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.

"...I see." Director Jim nodded with difficulty.

Among the few people here, except for Musk, everyone else knows the secret that there is an alien base on the back of the moon.

Keeping the alien base secret is more important than getting the two astronauts back alive.

As for the solution, as long as NASA cuts off the communication between the "Dragon" capsule and the outside world, no one will know the truth.

Wait for the Dragon [-] capsule to land on the moon, and then announce the news that the "Dragon" capsule was hit by a meteorite rain.

At that time, the two astronauts on the "Dragon" space capsule had already died, and NASA successfully obtained the alien technology, and provided a large pension to the families of the two astronauts.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the meeting room.

After knocking on the door, the secretary of the White House big man's office walked up to the big man with a tablet computer, and said in a heavy tone: "Mr. big man, the news has been leaked."

The owner of the White House froze for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What news?"

"About the news that the Dragon space capsule was hit by a meteorite rain..." the secretary handed the tablet to the big man, and said cautiously, "...you can read it for yourself."
