Tang Yue got dressed, crawled out of the bed, and followed the old cat into the hall of Kunlun Station.

His mind went almost blank.

The station has already given predictions, and after several days of continuous observation and calculations, it has been able to reduce the fall point of Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai to a circle of 600×600 km, which is much more accurate than the previous huge ellipse spanning 6,000 km.

The old cat sat on the chair and turned the monitor over, and the computer screen was still the familiar map of Mars that Tang Yue was familiar with, a large red circle, shrouded in the northern hemisphere near the equator, looking like a nuclear strike siren.

But this is actually much more serious than a nuclear strike alarm.

This circle represents the location of 5200 billion nuclear bombs exploding at the same time.

Tang Yue's mouth was dry, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned around and poured himself a glass of water, and drank all the water in the cup in one go.

In Tang Yue's eyes, this red solid circle was a poke on the map covered by the god of death, which meant "you are dead".

"This is the latest prediction of the computer, and the crash site of Comet Tomcat is in this region, the closest 800 kilometers from Kunlun Station, and the farthest is 1,300 kilometers." The old cat said, "Unfortunately...... The circle of damnation shrank above our heads. ”

Tang Yue covered his forehead and couldn't speak.

They still have a 1 in 2 chance of surviving at the time of the last prediction.

This probability is very high, really high, much higher than the chance of less than five percent when the Eagle spacecraft successfully docks, and much higher than the one in a thousand or even one in 10,000 chance that the Orion II spacecraft will land safely.

But the god of fate didn't roll another six.

According to Lao Mao's calculations, the comet's landing point must be 2,500 kilometers away to have a chance of surviving the Kunlun station, but now the computer gives a prediction of only 800 kilometers away - the nearest 800 kilometers, the longest 1,300 kilometers, at this distance, the comet brings more than just earthquakes, Tomcat-Tang-Mai comet is a 30 kilometers diameter behemoth, its impact will completely change the landscape of the Great Setis Plateau and the Ihidi Plain, Erase these two places from the map directly.

Dismantling the Kunlun station, breaking it into pieces, overcoming rigidity with softness, lying on the ground and making him strong no longer makes sense, it's like hiding behind a bunker and lying down horizontally with your head and legs together to cover your mouth and nose in strict accordance with what is said in the "Safety Education Manual for Primary and Secondary School Students", but it is still a dead end, because the nuclear bomb exploded a hundred meters away from you.

At such close distances, the enormous energy of the impact would have shattered everything.

"Chances of surviving?" Tang Yue asked hoarsely.

"Zero."

It's rare for an old cat to be so sure and so neat, not "close to zero", not "probably zero", just "zero".

"Is there no other way?"

"Nope." The old cat shook his head.

Even if the comet falls at the farthest point of the predicted range, 1,300 kilometers away from Kunlun Station, there is still 1,200 kilometers to reach a safe distance.

Ming Guang Kai's independent working time was only eight hours, and the Martian stray dog could only run thirty kilometers a day, and Tang Yue did not have the ability to leave Kunlun Station for a long journey.

"Then digging a bunker or something......" Tang Yue finally wanted to struggle.

The old cat shook his head silently.

Ordinary people can't imagine what kind of disaster comet Tomcat will bring when it hits, in fact, in the face of this kind of catastrophe, any manpower is insignificant, the only thing that can save their lives is distance, as long as the distance is far enough, the energy generated by the impact will be offset by Mars itself, outside the safe distance, Mars itself is the strongest barrier, within the safe distance, all the efforts made by human beings are a joke.

Tang Yue fell silent, put his hands into his hair, and pulled the roots of his hair hard.

"That girl doesn't know, right?"

"I don't know." The old cat shook his head, "I'll come to you as soon as the prediction comes out,"

Tang Yue looked down at his hands and feet, his feet and fingers could move normally, he was not dreaming.

"Tang Yue ......"

Tang Yue raised his hand and motioned to the old cat not to speak.

"Let me be quiet for a moment, I want to take a break."

The old cat nodded, and it sat down in its chair as it watched the young man in front of him bend down deeply, clutching his head and breathing hard.

Tang Yue rubbed his temples with his thumb, trying to get his brain, which was too stiff to think, to work again.

"Don't let her come down." Tang Yue said softly, "The landing plan has been suspended. ”

"Okay." The old cat nodded, "The landing plan has been aborted." ”

"Is there any other way to save that girl's life?"

"When designing the landing control system, I also programmed a flight program to get out of the orbit of Mars, which would allow Orion 2 to leave the orbit of Mars and enter orbit around the sun." The old cat replied, "The Orion II spacecraft still has enough propellant to avoid the effects of a comet impact, but Miss Maidon refuses this method. ”

"It's me, and I refuse." Tang Yue said that leaving the orbit of Mars and entering the vast solar system, then Mai Dongdu will become a lonely drifter from now on, and she may not encounter the next planet for the rest of her life, and finally die slowly in despair and endless void, such a life is better than being hit by a comet.

"When are you going to tell Miss Mai Dong about this?"

"Tomorrow morning." Tang Yue let out a long sigh, revealing a wry smile that was more ugly than crying, "I didn't expect that the human civilization that had lasted for tens of thousands of years would end here for me. ”

"Is death a relief for you?" The old cat asked.

"Once you accept it from the bottom of your heart and admit its existence, it's not that difficult to face it." Tang Yue said and stretched out his hand to the old cat, "Haven't I been struggling on the brink of death since the earth disappeared?" It's an old friend to me...... Old man, our cooperation is coming to an end, thank you for your continued care. ”

The old cat stepped forward to shake hands with Tang Yue, and then hugged him tightly.

"I am honored to work with you, Tang Yue, and Miss Mai Dong, these words should have been said when I returned to Earth...... But now we're all going to die. ”

"Nope." Tang Yue touched the old cat's fluffy ears, "It's just me who wants to die, not us." ”

The old cat was stunned and didn't understand what this meant.

Tang Yue pressed its shoulder and pushed it away, half-squatted down, and looked directly into the old cat's eyes.

"Old cat, you're getting out of here! Grab the solar panels, bring everything you need, bring the Martian stray dogs, and get out of here now! The faster you run, the better, the farther you go, the comet has almost forty days to hit Mars, the rover can run thirty kilometers a day, and forty days is enough time for you to get away from the comet's impact point! You still have a chance to survive! ”
