The landing plan for the Orion II spacecraft was aborted.

Mai Dong listened to Tang Yue's advice and gave up the idea of landing, but she did not leave the low-earth orbit of Mars, and it would not take much time for the spacecraft to change orbit, but there were still more than thirty days before the comet landed, and Mai Dong hoped to leave until the last moment.

The old cat is the same thing, it says that it is a robot, with rough skin and thick steel bones, no oxygen and no supply, and it is not sensitive to environmental changes, so it can also try to leave the time later, and can accompany Tang Yue for one more day.

Tang Yue frowned: Don't you want to stay and die together...... Oh no, live and die together, right?

The old cat shook his head violently.

Mai Dong also shook his head violently.

This person and cat looked at Tang Yue with a strong sense of hospice care in their eyes, making Tang Yue look like a seriously ill patient who was dying, Tang Yue agreed to anything, the food was open to eat, and the fresh water was open to drink - but there was really nothing to eat in Kunlun Station, and Tang Yue was tired of compressed food for a long time, and now he wanted to vomit when he saw it.

The cat master even deigned to serve tea and pour water in person, which was unimaginable in the past, Tang Yue, a serf, turned over and became the master.

Tang Yue: Ears.

The old cat moved.

Tang Yue smiled and pinched the cat's ears.

However, Tang Yue didn't have much heart to enjoy life, he had to hurry up and complete the rest of the work, race against time, and make a complete record of human civilization before the comet fell...... There may be omissions and fallacies, but at least give it an ending.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, these eight folders have been sent to Mai Dong, and the remaining twenty files are being sorted out."

“OK！ The material has been fully entered into the broadcast sequence. ”

"Have you finished sorting out the materials for the 100-year translation movement? Old cats? ”

"It's done, a total of 120,000 words."

Since learning of his death, Tang Yue was relieved, since it was a force majeure that could not be reversed and could not be escaped, it was better to work hard and devote his limited time to serving the people. The old cat estimated the exact time of the comet's impact to be thirty-seven Martian days, five hours and thirty-seven minutes later, or 55,060 minutes, or 3,300,300,600 seconds in seconds.

3,309,600 seconds, this is all the time Tang Yue has left.

He sets a countdown and time passes as the numbers jump.

In this limited time, every time he typed one more word, he could leave two more characters of information to the universe.

"Tang Yue." The old cat lay on the table, tilting his head, but his paws were typing quickly on the keyboard under the table.

"Huh?"

"I can stay with you, as long as you nod, Miss Mai Dong and I will stay with you."

"You have to go." Tang Yue didn't think twice.

"You don't have to put your sense of responsibility towards humanity above yourself, and even more so that you represent all of humanity right now, and you have the right to make any choice."

"I've made my choice."

"Is the legacy of civilization more important than civilization itself?" The old cat asked.

"To be honest, old cat, if this is on Earth, and I know that I still have thirty-seven days to live, then I must settle my family and friends first, and then do everything I want to do without any regrets, but I am on Mars." Tang Yue smiled, "I also want to climb the Burj Khalifa to skydive, but you have to give me this condition." ”

"From a very young age, teachers have taught us to have a sense of collective honor, what is a sense of collective honor? That is, you are in school, what you represent is the image of the class, you are outside the school, what you represent is the image of the school, and you are abroad, then you represent the image of the Chinese. Tang Yue said, "Now that I am on Mars, I feel that I represent the image of all mankind, so I always unconsciously want to straighten my back...... There may not be so many great men in history, but when he was put in that position, he became a great man. ”

"The times make heroes?"

"I'm not talking to you about a serious political or historical issue." Tang Yue smiled and said, "I'm neither a hero nor a great man, I'm just saying that Mars is so boring, I have to find something to do, I can't sit still, right?" It's not about responsibility. ”

"But there's not enough time left for you to do the whole job."

"If you can't finish it, you can't finish it, in the words of Mr. Hu Shi, what truth is endless? There is an inch of joy in every inch. Tang Yue was very open-minded, "Besides, don't you still have you?" You can go ahead and finish it. ”

The old cat leaned back in his chair and typed quickly with his feet.

"I've read that suicide note you wrote."

Tang Yue's movements paused, he knew what the old cat was referring to - at that time, the old cat drove away from Kunlun Station to search for the Chelome probe, and on the way back, he accidentally fell into the underground dark river ruins with the cat, Tang Yue stayed in Kunlun Station alone, his physical condition was extremely bad, just in case, he wrote a suicide note and left it in the station.

"After the impact, if I can still move, I'll be back."

"Come back and collect my body?"

"At least I can't let you be in the wilderness, and if you are unfortunate enough to be torn apart in the impact, then I will find you piece by piece, and erect a tombstone for you." The old cat's voice was very flat, and Tang Yue's expression was also very flat, as if they were discussing a person who was completely unrelated to him, "So you'd better install positioning devices on your torso and limbs, so that it will be easy to find, so as not to be like Osiris." ”

"Osiris?"

"The king of Hades in ancient Egyptian mythology, legend has it that he was an Egyptian pharaoh who was killed by his own brother, and his body was divided into fourteen pieces." The old cat explained.

"So cruel?"

"So I hope your body doesn't fall too apart, and if the fragments are smaller than a fingernail, it's too difficult to collect." The old cat shrugged.

Tang Yue also shrugged.

"What would it be like if a comet with a diameter of 30 kilometers fell down?"

"It's going to be big." The old cat said.

"How big? Is it the size of E? ”

"It's big, big, and if it's close enough, it can even fill your entire field of vision, and if you stand under it, you'll even think it's falling...... However, the distance between the comet's impact point and the Kunlun station is about 1,000 kilometers, and the computer has just further pinpointed the location of the impact. The old cat replied, "You can see it burning over its head and landing on the horizon." ”

"What happens at the moment of impact?"

"I don't know what will happen either, but you can imagine the consequences of the simultaneous explosion of five trillion nuclear bombs."

"How long do I have after seeing it hit the ground?"

"The violent impact will reach Kunlun Station in less than twenty seconds."

"Then I'll still have time to express my feelings, say wow, that's awesome, and then describe the spectacle of the impact to you." Tang Yue wrenched his fingers and counted, "Twenty seconds, you can say two words in one second, then it's a total of forty words, 'Wow, the comet is so fucking big, the flash is brighter than the sun, I tell you that it's definitely a great pity that you can't see it with your own eyes'...... No, it's too many words. ”

"And so it goes: 'Wow, the comet is so big, the fire is brighter than the sun, and I tell you, it's a great shame not to be able to see it with your own eyes'...... No, there is too much nonsense, not enough conciseness, and too little valid information. ”

Tang Yue shook his head.

"Wow, it's awesome, the comet is too big, the fire is brighter than the sun, and the column of smoke is at least hundreds of thousands of meters high, covering the sky and ......the sun."

"You've never seen a comet impact look like, what's the use of talking about it now?" The old cat sighed, "I think that when that moment comes, your forty words should be like this......"

"What kind?"

"Wow wow
