Chapter 100 Woodpeckers

In the space station.

"Didi!" The sudden sound of the siren interrupted the happy daily life of Tom and Jerry.

"Huh? What's the situation?" Jerry immediately checked the control panel, and Tom also took off his earphones, sat up straight and looked serious.

Those who can be selected to become astronauts are all the elites among the elites!Tom can be selected, it is naturally impossible to be as inconspicuous as it seems.

"This... the air pressure of the oxygen tank is dropping!" Jerry exclaimed.

The two looked at each other, and immediately saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. There is no oxygen in space, so needless to say, they knew what would happen!
"Jerry, wake up Butch immediately! I'm going to put on the spacewalking equipment, and I'm ready to go out of the cabin to check the situation!" Tom showed good professionalism at this time.

"Okay!" Jerry replied!

The two acted immediately.

"Woo~" The piercing siren soon rang through the entire space station!

"Ha~ What's going on? Huh? This is... an alarm!"

Butch, another astronaut in his sleep, was shocked when he woke up, and rushed to the control room of the space station immediately!

"Jerry, what's going on, why is the alarm sounding?"

"The oxygen tank seems to have been hit by something, and the air pressure is dropping!" Jerry was sweating on his forehead, typing on the keyboard.

"What! How could this be! Is it space debris?!" Butch exclaimed.

"I don't know. Tom is already wearing the equipment and is about to leave the warehouse to check the situation. Go help him and be ready to respond at any time!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

After Butch left, only Jerry was left in the control room.

"Jerry, this is Tom, I'm ready to leave the cabin, what's the loss situation!" Tom's voice sounded through the communicator.

"The pressure is still dropping, but fortunately, the speed of the drop is not very fast, and the damage should not be too big! According to calculations, including the emergency oxygen cylinder, we still have 2 hours and 56 minutes! If the time is up and it is not repaired Alright, then we can only enter the escape pod and go back to our hometown!"

"Huh! The situation is not too bad, there are still nearly three hours! There is plenty of time, and I will leave the cabin for repairs immediately! Going back to my hometown or something, let's wait until you are about to get married!"

Jerry: "..."

……

Soon afterwards, a hatch of the space station was opened. Tom, wearing a bloated space suit, held a repair gun in his hand and tied a safety rope behind him. Oxygen tank move!
After more than ten minutes, Tom came to the oxygen tank, and at the first sight he found a small hole that was spraying white mist gas!
"I saw it! It's in a very conspicuous position in front of me, thank God! The damage is not serious, it should be caused by space dust impact, don't worry! I can repair it soon!" Tom said.

"Great!" Jerry breathed a sigh of relief. "I have notified the ground command center of the situation here! Report the maintenance situation on your side at any time! Be careful yourself!"

"Roger that!"

Then Tom grabbed the handrail with one hand and came to the breach with the repair gun in the other.

The repair gun is a special maintenance gun for space equipment. It looks somewhat similar to a nail gun with a square muzzle.

I saw Tom aim the gun at the breach, and then pulled the trigger.

"Pfft!" When Tom moved the muzzle of the gun away, the damage on it had been firmly attached by a square of black repair material, and there was no more air leakage. It looked like a patch had been applied.

The temporary repair work has been completed, and the damage needs to be checked and reinforced later, but normally speaking, this kind of repair is enough.

"It's done! Look, it's just a small problem, my dear Jerry, I'll give you another set of pancakes and fruit after I go back! Haha!" Tom joked with a smile, and turned to go back to the space station.

"Uh...Tom? Are you sure it has been repaired? But the air pressure is still dropping!" Jerry wondered.

"What!?" Tom froze for a moment, then turned to look at the oxygen tank, and saw another breach beside the repaired patch, and the leakage of white mist gas was very conspicuous!
"Uh...maybe...I just got confused. There are two damages and one is leaking. Don't worry! I'll fix it right away!" After Tom replied to Jerry, he felt a little strange.

Just saw that there was only one damage?Can you see it wrong at such a close distance?
In any case, it was just a small mistake, and Tom immediately started repairing it.

"Pfft!" Another patch was applied, and Tom checked it up and down this time to make sure there was nothing wrong. "Jerry, it's done. I think I'm sleep-deprived. It seems that I have to switch shifts with Butch earlier."

"But the pressure... is still dropping..." Jerry said a little speechlessly.

"What? That's impossible! I've already fixed it!" Tom exclaimed.

He carefully inspected the damage twice, the helmet of the space suit was almost attached to the two patches, and finally confirmed...the repair was perfect, and there was no sign of air leakage at all!

But the pressure is still dropping!Could there be other damage?

Tom then began to look at other parts of the oxygen tank, and there was indeed nothing in front of him. He turned around the outer wall of the oxygen tank, and was surprised to find that there was actually a breakage not far away that was leaking air.

"Uh, Jerry, you might not believe it, but I found the third damage!" Tom said speechlessly.

"It's nothing, maybe a penetrating wound from dust, both sides. Fix it quickly, these precious oxygen leaks are a great loss to us, and it's causing a slight damage to the orbit of the space station influences!"

"I see!" Tom speeded up to the damage and began to repair it.

However, what he didn't notice at all was that just as he was doing repair work, a silver needle suddenly stuck out from the inside of the oxygen tank on his upper right, and then shyly retracted into the oxygen tank, and then White mist gas happily escaped from it.

After Tom repaired the third hole, he soon found a new wound on the upper right. He swore that he had just glanced there, and it was absolutely intact 2 minutes ago!
"Damn! I found the fourth one! What the hell is going on, I just saw that there is no gap at all in that position!"

"Tom, make sure you're not joking, stop playing! Hurry up and fix it, it's been nearly half an hour! We've already lost a lot!" Jerry said anxiously.

"I swear I'm not joking! Damn it!" Tom cursed as he rushed to repair the fourth damage, but he couldn't see it...a fifth was forming...

Jerry could hear that Tom's anxious tone definitely didn't look like he was joking!

"Tom, be careful, if that's the case, then we may have a small dust lane, Butch! How's your situation? Tom needs backup!"

"I'm ready, I'm going out to support Tom right now, Jerry, you'd better put on your spacesuit and prepare your oxygen tank, just in case!"

"okay, I get it!"

Afterwards, Tom's unbelievable exclamation kept coming from the communication channel.

"Damn! This is the fifth..."

"Fuck! Sixth!"

"The seventh..." At the end, Tom was almost numb.

Not long after, Buji joined the restoration army, and there was an exclamation in the communication channel immediately.

"My God! How could there be so many breaches! Is today April Fool's Day!"

"Oh my god! I just passed by here, there is nothing abnormal at all! Where did these gaps come from!?"

control room.

Jerry: "..."

……

Outside the space station, I saw two astronauts doing seemingly endless repair work...

The two figures are up and down, left and right, BABA... playing a dangerous game like whack-a-mole...

Finally, half an hour later...

"Huh~ I swear, this situation is absolutely abnormal!" Tom gasped and looked at the outer wall of the oxygen tank covered with dozens of patches, speechless.

"Hoo~ Jerry, what's the situation now? We've run out of repair materials! And the oxygen won't last long!" Boogie was also exhausted, and the body's activity consumption was even more intense in weightlessness.

"But the pressure is still dropping! And the rate of oxygen loss is accelerating! We have less than an hour left now! What the hell is going on! Why are the oxygen tanks breaking so much by themselves? I have observed , There is no sign of a dust belt around here at all!" Jerry said anxiously.

Tom stared at the oxygen tank strangely, "Maybe... there's a woodpecker hiding in it?"

Boogie: "..."

Jerry: "..."
