Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year.

9:30 a.m.

Jiang Zi and Mo Yu had already put on the Iron Floating Massacre, and earlier today, Jiang Zi and Liang Jing had already gone to the communication tower in advance to complete the preliminary work.

The next step is to install a spare antenna.

The passive integrated RF antenna has two parts, the antenna is installed separately from the transmitter, the antenna is installed at the top of the tower, the transmitter is installed at the bottom of the tower, and the middle is connected by a waveguide up to 20 meters.

Jiang Zi carried the transmitter on his back, silently took the antenna and toolbox, and set off along the safety rope.

Those who remained inside Cassini watched as they vanished into the fog.

There was a little breeze today, Mo Yu grabbed the safety rope with one hand, and stepped on the hard ice and frozen soil, the soles of Tiefutu's feet were sharp crampons, but it was still difficult to grasp the ground, compared to Jiang Zi, he was much more skilled, three steps and one slide, three steps and one slide, walking fast.

Mo Yu looked up, the flowing brown and yellow mist was like a turbid current, walking here was like walking on the bottom of the sea, and above his head was tens of millions of tons of sea water mixed with mud and sand.

"The weather isn't good today." Jiang Zi's voice came out of the earphones, "Be careful. ”

"There's no wind, is it?" Asked silently.

"It's hard to say." Jiang Zi replied, "But Da Bai said no, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you don't hear the howling, it's fine." ”

Mo Yu sped up a few steps, and soon saw Jiang Zi's back appear in front of him, the white radome and the red Tiefutu were particularly conspicuous.

Moyu rarely goes out and is never really exposed to any life-threatening bad weather, her impression of the storm on the Titan is all from others, those who survive the storm say that the wind is the hand of death, once you are swept in, you are grabbed by death, you will feel hundreds of people holding you tightly, they are grabbing your shoulders, your arms, your thighs and calves, pulling you desperately into the fog, they are the undead who died in the storm before, trying to pull you down to hell too.

There may be an exaggeration in this, but whoever describes the storm will refer to the banshee's howl, which comes faintly from the fog, like a cry of admiration, like a cry like a mythical siren, and the sailors of the ship lose their minds when they hear the song, and people once thought it was the sound of some kind of creature, only to realize later that it was a precursor to the coming of the storm, and that the banshee must be howling before the storm.

Experts explain that this is because the low-temperature air currents that produce high-frequency vibrations when they move at high speed on the ice, which sounds like the dolphin voice of soprano Minnie Laceton, and that the sound travels faster than the air currents, so once you hear it, it means that a storm is coming.

Jiang Zi got into the communication tower and climbed up the ladder.

Mo Yu unloaded the transmitter at the bottom of the tower, and the transmitter couldn't withstand the ultra-low temperature of minus 100 degrees Celsius, so Mo Yu also wore a thermal insulation sleeve and four built-in isotope temperature difference power generation chips.

The safety rope hung down from the top of his head, and Mo Yu raised his head, and saw Jiang Zi standing at the top of the ladder, and shook the flashlight at himself, "I'll install the antenna first, and you install the transmitter underneath." ”

"Roger."

Mo Yu opened the toolbox and spread out the various parts, and Da Bai gave detailed steps, projecting them on the head-up display of her helmet.

"Screwdriver...... Hmmm screwdriver, number three...... No. 3, first use No. 3 and then No. 4. Silently repeating the steps, his hands hovering over the toolbox and dotting around, "Then the flange and the spacer. ”

"Sharpen the scissors and kitchen knives—" Jiang Zi quickly installed the antenna, he fixed the antenna on the top of the tower, and screwed it in turn.

"Stationmaster, what are you humming?"

"Sharpen scissors and kitchen knives." Jiang Zi said, "Haven't you watched the TV series? In the past, people would shout this when they walked the streets and alleys to help people sharpen scissors and kitchen knives. ”

"Don't watch TV series." Mo Yu said, "That thing is only for the elderly." ”

"Do you have a large plum screwdriver over there?"

"Yes."

"Give me a handful."

"I want an ion gun, do you have one on it?"

"Yes, will you use it? Be careful not to fire too much and not point the muzzle at yourself. ”

Silent Yu buckled the heat shield on the transmitter, and then pulled out the cable of the transmitter, connected with the pre-prepared power supply cable, the moment the power was on, the indicator light on the transmitter was on, Dabai reminded her that the transmitter was successfully installed, Silent Yu is not a professional communication engineer, but the work is quite quick, at the same time, Jiang Zi has completed the installation of the antenna, and began to install the waveguide.

"Does Sister Moyu often do heavy work at home?" Yaxiang asked.

"Yes, I repair water pipes, toilets, air conditioners, and gas canisters." Mo Yu replied, "If you have an old lady like me who doesn't care about the, you know that what men can do, women can do, and what women can do, men may not be able to do." ”

"What can a woman do that a man can't?" Yaxiang asked.

"Have a baby." Tacit answer.

"Sister Moyu, your damn ......"

"Hey, why are you still scolding?" Silent raised eyebrows, "Don't swear!" ”

"I mean, Sister Moyu, your mother, doesn't she do anything at home?"

Mo Yu sneered.

"She will only pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold, and other than that, she will not do anything, don't mention her to me, that woman has a brain problem."

Yaka yawned.

"Sleepy?"

"Mmmm, Sister Moyu, you're in good spirits." Yaxiang yawned all day, according to her schedule, she should be sleeping at this time, "I can't stay up......"

Jiang Zi stood on the ladder, fixed the waveguide on the inner wall of the communication tower, rose higher and higher, fixed it section by section, and sat down silently at the bottom, and installed the waveguide on the transmitter.

"Stationmaster, Moyu, can you hear me? What's the situation going on your side? ”

Liang Jing's voice.

"Liang Gong, it's normal here." Jiang Zi pressed the button, and the electric screwdriver drove the screws into the inner wall of the communication tower, "It's done right away...... About twenty minutes to go. ”

"Need a help?" Liang Jing asked.

"No, two people are enough, and you can't squeeze in another one."

Eko climbed to the top of the ladder, got into the windshield, and began the final step of the work, connecting the transmitter to the antenna with a waveguide.

"Stationmaster, the weather is not very good today, you guys come back as soon as possible."

"Do you want to change the sky?" Jiang Zi asked, "Did you hear the howling?" ”

"There was no howling, it just started to rain, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily."

Jiang Zi straightened up, and sure enough, he heard the sound of crackling rain outside, and the raindrops hit the windshield of the communication tower intensively, the heavy rain in this hellish place is coming, and as soon as it comes, it is the inflow of seawater, it is absolutely impossible to have such a heavy rain on the earth, because the gravity on the earth limits the size of the raindrops, and when the raindrops grow to a certain point, the air can't support it, but the Titan is different, the gravity on Titan is small, the air density is high, and the volume and weight of the raindrops can accumulate crazily.

Think of the scene when you fill a bucket of water and then dump it downstairs, and the rainstorm on the Titan is such a virtue.

"That's it." Mo Yu screwed the last screw and slapped his face, very satisfied with the results of his work.

"I've got it done, Liang Gong said that it might be a change, let's go back quickly." Jiang Zi grabbed the safety rope and lowered it directly, taking a breath, "Dabai, try it on." ”

The power of the transmitter was turned on, Jiang Zi and Mo Yu stood on the side and waited for the result, if it was successful, they would be able to go home, and a few minutes later, the news came from Dabai: the antenna was faulty, and the contact failed.

Jiang Zi and Mo Yu were taken aback.

"How?"

After the self-test, the reason was given, which may be the unstable installation of the antenna and the poor contact.

Silently let Jiang Zi rest underneath, and she went up to adjust.

Jiang Zi stood at the bottom of the tower, looking up at Mo Yu climbing the ladder and burrowing into the windshield, and soon disappeared, only the light pillar of the headlamp flickered.

"Can you do it?"

"No problem, I've found the source of the problem, it's just a matter of a few screws......" A silent answer came from the earphones, "Dabai is teaching me how to adjust this thing, I need a pair of pliers...... pliers, pliers, pliers, cute pliers, where are you......"

The ground shook slightly.

Jiang Zi thought it was an illusion at first, but the next second a more violent vibration came, he almost failed to stand firm, and a deafening explosion sounded from the outside world, and before Jiang Zi could make a sound, he saw the windshield above his head burst, as if he was directly hit by a large-caliber naval gun, and was rudely erased from this world.
