Die on Mars

Tang Yue wrapped himself tightly in clothes and blankets, leaning against the isotope thermoelectric generator. By this morning, the room temperature in Kunlun Station had dropped to minus fifteen degrees Celsius. Speaking of which, this temperature was far from Tang Yue's. The limit of endurance. When he followed Lao Wang for special training in the Daxinganling Mountains, it snowed heavily at night, and the temperature could exceed minus 30 degrees.

The old cat had left, and Kunlun Station suddenly seemed empty.

This morning Tang Yue woke up from his sleep. He opened the door curtain of the crew cabin and wanted to call the old cat, but he stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly remembered that the old cat had gone and he was the only one left in Kunlun Station. Leng Deserted.

"Have you shown your nakedness? Have you shown your nakedness...but you have shown your nakedness?"

Tang Yue opened the box and carefully observed the tomato seeds in the box, turning them over and over, like a pervert who wanted to peek under the girl's skirt and her big white legs.

But the anti-gravity skirt didn't give him that chance.

For the past two days, he has been tying tomato seeds to his body and relying on his body temperature to provide heat to them, but obviously the effect of this is not significant. According to Ophiopogon japonicus, the seeds should germinate at this time, but Tang Yue's hand These tomato seeds still show no sign of waking up.

"Didn't the seeds germinate?" Ophiopogon japonicus asked.

"No." Tang Yue was a little disappointed and shook his head. The sudden failure of the temperature control system completely disrupted their plan to grow tomatoes. If there was no problem with the temperature control system, the seeds would have been put into the ground at this time. Tang Yue tried to check the temperature control system again this morning, but was still at a loss - I don't know what lunatic designed the heater to be so complicated. It would be easier if there were two heating wires. Tang Yue could fix it like a hair dryer. This thing.

Tang Yue also brought over the fertilizer that was fermenting in the garage. Being happy alone is not as good as sharing the joy, and being warm alone is not as good as being warm. If you are warm, you can benefit the world. When you are heating yourself, you must not forget that you are freezing in the garage. The poop brothers, so Tang Yue brought several jars of poop and hugged each other around RTG to keep warm, enjoying themselves.

After a few days, the stool no longer fermented, but was quite frozen.

It used to just stink.

Now it's smelly and hard.

When a person stays in Kunlun Station, he will have a feeling of a vast world and no place to go. If he stays for a long time, his heart will probably be filled with grass. Although Ophiopogon japonicus is accompanying him on the channel, this kind of desolate loneliness is not for two people. It can be eliminated by hugging each other. If there are only two people on the Mars mission, then the two people will probably say everything they can during the long work period. In the end, they will be speechless and look at each other with boredom. Therefore, a scientific expedition team generally There are six people, plus an old cat.

Tang Yue felt that the reason why Lao Mao was so neurotic and talkative was probably for this reason. Lao Mao could always find all kinds of inexplicable topics. At a small scale, this was the atmosphere in Kunlun Station, but at a larger scale It exercises the brains of the crew members. When it comes to chatting, one old cat is better than six.

"How is the old cat doing? Where has it gone?" Tang Yue collected the seeds.

"Mr. Cat has stopped traveling. He is now 31.4 kilometers away from Kunlun Station. He contacted me once two hours ago." Maidong glanced at the screen. The cursor representing the stray dog ​​from Mars flashed every five seconds. , "It should be charging now."

There is a high-power communication antenna on the Mars Stray Dog. This antenna can directly contact the relay satellite or the Joint Space Station. However, in order to save power, the old cat shut down the communication system. It only communicates with the space station twice a day. Report on itself specific situation.

Tang Yue stood up and looked out through the porthole.

However, the distance of thirty kilometers far exceeded the limit of his vision. Tang Yue could only imagine the cat unloading the battery panels from the car, stacking them piece by piece, and then leaning on the wheel quietly waiting for the charging to be completed.

Tang Yue stood up, raised his legs high in the Kunlun Station, then got down and did dozens of push-ups to dispel the cold.

"I feel like I'm an Eskimo now, struggling to survive in the Arctic Circle."

"Inuit?"

Tang Yue nodded, "They are the people who like to eat Kiwiak."

"Kiwiak?"

"A dark dish from another world. Eskimos will stuff five hundred puffins into the belly of a seal, then let them rot and ferment for three months. Finally, they will take the puffins out and eat them." Tang Yue explained, "This It’s called Kiwiak, and it’s said to be rich in multiple vitamins, and it’s much scarier than canned Swedish herring soaked in Laoshan snakegrass water.”

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Mao made contact with the Joint Space Station and Kunlun Station, and it sent a very brief email.

Old Cat: "This is the Martian stray dog. Everything is normal on the Mars rover. The battery has been charged and the solar panels have all been returned to their positions. It is expected to continue traveling 30 kilometers tonight."

Maidong replied: "The space station received it, Mr. Cat, your direction is correct, and I wish you good luck."

Tang Yue replied: "Old Cat, how is the situation? Have you met Optimus Prime?"

Old Cat: "Optimus Prime didn't see it, but he came across Germany's Mars base. They invited me in for tea, entertained me warmly, and asked me if Stalin was dead."

Tang Yue typed lazily: "Oh? In addition to the moon, does San Dezi also have a base on Mars?"

Old Cat: "Of course, according to their own account, at the end of World War II, after the Normandy landing, the Führer saw that the situation was over and there was no way to turn around, so he summoned all the rocket experts in the country, headed by Sir von Braun, to launch the mission in Peenemünde and Hamburg Two cities secretly built massive launch vehicles to send the Empire's legacy to Mars."

Tang Yue: "It's amazing. San Dezi was able to land on Mars in 1944?"

Old Cat: "According to them, it was because the head of state found alien black technology on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In fact, Me262 and V2 are both reverse engineering imitations of alien black technology. They also found the legendary Ark of the Covenant, but it was A man named Indiana Jones stopped them - they also claimed to be the only country in the 20th century that had the ability to land on extraterrestrial planets, and said that the American Apollo moon landing plan was fake and was filmed in a studio. "

Tang Yue: "Why is it fake?"

Lao Mao: “Because Baidu Tieba said it was fake.”

Tang Yue: "Then have you seen the mustache?"

Old Cat: "Mustache is not here, he can't trust Braun's rockets."

Tang Yue: "The mustache still committed suicide?"

Old Cat: "Mustache didn't commit suicide. The person who died was a substitute. He ran away to Argentina after World War II."

Tang Yue: "The mustache has died?"

Old Cat: "It didn't end well, the Israeli Mossad chased him."

Tang Yue: "How many people are left in the base now?"

Old Cat: "There were three just now, but now there is only one left."

Tang Yue: "What's going on?"

Old Cat: "The three people before were Hydra, and now the name of the remaining person is Steve Rogers. He is dressed in fancy clothes and has a shield in his hand."

Tang Yue: "Okay, where are you now?"

Old Cat: "We are still more than sixty kilometers away from the landing site of Chelome. I have just installed all the solar panels on the car. I will be on my way in the first half of the night and rest in the second half of the night...huh? Wait."

Tang Yue: "What's wrong?"

Old Cat: "Maybe I'm just blind."

Tang Yue: "You are a robot. How can a robot be blind?"

Lao Mao: "Robots can also be blinded. There is a bug in the program or something, and wrong images are produced."

Tang Yue: "Then what did you just see?"

Old Cat: "Something flew over the rover."

Tang Yue: "?"

Ophiopogon japonicus: "?"

Shit: "?"

Old Cat: "I just had a glimpse. That thing seemed to be very fast and flying very high. It was just a small glowing dot, like a jet, but it was silent and did not make any sound. If Unless I happened to look up, I wouldn’t have noticed it.”

Tang Yue: "Satellite? Space station? Or meteor?"

Maidong: "It's not our satellite, nor the space station. There is no satellite passing over Mr. Cat's head at this time."

Old Cat: "It should be a meteor. There can be no other man-made aircraft on Mars... That's the end of today's contact. I have to continue my journey, OVER."
