On the floor of the crater

The tunnel is very narrow and there is only one crack on the wall. It is difficult for Li Badi to squeeze into several places. But it was not too long. A few minutes later, Li Huai felt that it had opened up to a wider area from the changes in air and echo.

Peter confirmed this with a cry. They are in small bubbles a few yards wide. When Peter searched along the floor, they passed. He stopped and bowed his head.

"We fell down again, through this hole in the floor. Only a short distance of a few feet, but be careful."

Peter went to the entrance of the cave and sat down so that he could not see. Li Badi lowered his head and could see the floor of another cave below. He put down his backpack and squeezed it down.

Here, they are in a shallow longitudinal crack, and they have to crouch and walk to prevent their head from hitting the low ceiling.

Li Huai wanted to know how Peter knew which way to go, but when he looked carefully, he realized that his brother was just following the footsteps to the destination, because there was a thin layer of dust on this floor indicating the trail. .

"How did you find this passage?" Li Huai asked, his voice echoing high in the passage.

"See the top of the sealed crack crossing the bottom of the crater. A point was found near it that made a hissing sound of some kind of gas. Go down, and then simply follow all the leads pointing in the direction of the crack." Li Badi knew There will undoubtedly be a lot of sweat and pain behind this reply. Peter took an unconscious body during his travels!

The low passage ends with a small bubble. A breakthrough above this is the next direction. Peter only fell when he arrived, but they waited to hold their breath. They will have to jump for it.

"Do you think von Bok is paying attention to us?" Li Huai asked while waiting.

Peter shook his head. "I doubt it. First, we may have heard his arrival. Second, he still knows enough to get his spacesuit before following us. Third, he will not remember anything about this trip. And will have to find his way."

After the break, Li Huai added strength to Peter and lifted him to the top of the bubble as much as possible. Peter skipped the remaining short distance and grabbed the edge of the hole on the ceiling of the cave. He pulled up, then put down the nylon rope, let Li Bai grab and help himself.

There is another small bubble above, bursting on one side. A series of broken bubbles were found during the whole process, and they walked carefully along this part. The area is very cracked and seamed. In their view, it is likely to be in trouble.

Outside that group, they made another breakthrough and moved on. Now Li Huai found that his breathing was very heavy. "I'm tired," he finally gasped.

Peter stopped. They are still resting, the **** in front of them is steep. "This is the air pressure. It has become quite low. You are used to the low pressure of the bubbles below, as you told me, but we are close to the ground, and the amount of air sealed in this particular bubble is limited, the system is thinning, Beyond the safe point. We will have to walk slowly and rest often. I don’t want to use the oxygen supply until we reach the natural limit."

Li Badi finally held his breath, and felt his strength returned. Now, the two people move on, very cautiously and slowly, taking a break every few steps.

The steep ascent ends in a narrow opening. Peter stopped here and motioned to Li Huai to join him. He said: "This is a crisis point." "Listen."

Li Badi tightened his ears. He realized his heartbeat struggling for oxygen. He realized that low pressure caused tinnitus. But now he heard a small whistle, a steady rustling whistle, coming from the narrow and long cave he was watching.

"What is it?" he whispered.

Peter whispered: "A most unusual phenomenon." "The only factor that prevents all underground areas from being sucked into the surface. This is a hot air that travels through this long passage at an extremely high speed. It must pass from Somewhere in the room that is still warm. It must rush to a huge cold spot below. However, it is an effective curtain to cut off the stale air on this side of the vacuum near the surface. Its Density, speed and heat work wonders."

Peter shone lights up and down the cave. The passage cleared a long tunnel-like passage that plunged into darkness on one side and equal darkness on the other side. Only a few yards away from them, he could see the gray surface of the wall. There seemed to be nothing but howling.

Peter said, "Carefully walk along this wall." Started. He rubbed a shoulder on a nearby wall, then walked carefully along the passage.

Li Badi was insignificant and followed him closely. He didn't feel the air moving, but there was a faint trace of warmth on his outside. Somewhere out of his sight, volcanic cataracts were flowing. Is it a few feet or a fraction of an inch? he does not know.

The wall bulged a little, giving oneself a chance to stay away from the invisible wind. Peter is waiting here. "I think we better adjust our space equipment now. We still have a short way to go, then we have to fight bravely in this explosion. There is a ground opening at a nearby point. Once we cross over and let the flow go , We will be outside."

Li Huai put down his backpack. Peter checked Li's broken equipment again and looked worried. He shook his head once or twice. "I hope it will solve all problems, but some changes must be made."

He used the large airbag constructed by Li Bad as an airbag. "It won't work, but it will come in handy in a different way." He took Li Badi's knife and began to cut open the big sack into long thin leather strips. After finishing, he looked at and said:

"Now, you must wrap these straps as tightly as possible around your body. Please start as high as possible on your chest and continue downward. Wrap them around your arms and legs, if possible, Wrap it around your fingers. Don't undress, but wrap the strips around your clothes. Tighten them. I will help you."

In doing so, they explained further. "A safety helmet is not enough to contain space. If the body is not tightly wrapped, the blood and the gas in the system will make you unable to breathe or move. Like my real space suit is pressurized, the whole place has a layer of air pockets, they The pressure increases in proportion to the pressure outside. But if you don’t have this pressure, it won’t help even if there is air around your head, so you can stop breathing completely if you make the bandage tight."
