Day 283 (3) Burning whales

The mock test finally succeeded.

There are only zero successes and countless successes.

The 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th tests were all a complete success.

Tang Yue and they had been unlucky for so many times, and when the time finally came, the god of fate smiled at them, and threw six points several times in a row.

Both Old Cat and Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

They have a bottom in their hearts.

If the Orion II spacecraft can land safely under the most demanding conditions set by the old cat, then it will have a fairly high success rate when it actually enters the atmosphere - the old cat is undoubtedly an extremely demanding examiner, and it even asked the Orion spacecraft to land in a sandstorm, but the latter was very competitive and successfully brought the Eagle lander to a height of 100 meters.

In the end, the old cat even swore that he patted his chest, saying that Orion could 100% succeed in descending ......

Tang Yue pounced on it and covered its mouth.

He would never allow the cat to plant a flag again.

"Is there a lot of work to be done?"

Mai Dong is performing an extravehicular operation, and she is doing a spacewalk away from the core module to modify the power module of the Orion 2 spacecraft.

"Of course, Miss Maidon." The old cat swiped the mouse and swept his gaze over the drawings on the screen, "Attention, line C523, that is, the red line, don't move...... Well, yes, we need to try to improve the landing accuracy of the Orion II spacecraft, Orion itself is not designed to enter the atmosphere, so it is not equipped with landing sensors, such as descent imager, Doppler altimeter and lidar or something, so far we can only use IMU and radio guidance to control the landing accuracy of the spacecraft within 30 kilometers. ”

"In other words, Orion may fall in any area within thirty kilometers of the Kunlun station, which is still too large to be convenient for search and rescue." The old cat crossed its feet leisurely, toes spinning, and as it said, the landing of the Orion II spacecraft was a controlled crash, and the risk factor was extremely high, and there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents.

So the rescue should come as soon as possible.

The closer Orion's fall site is to Kunlun Station, the faster the old cat will be able to find Mai Dong and rescue her.

Mai Dong can't carry any external equipment when she comes down, and the Eagle lander is just an empty shell, and her only life support system is the extravehicular spacesuit on her body - "Z-9" full-pressure extravehicular suit, which is completely different from the Mingguang armor for interstellar landing, and the Z-9 extravehicular suit requires it to work normally in a completely vacuum orbital environment, which is much more bulky and bloated than the Mingguang armor.

The working time of the Z-9 extravehicular suit does not exceed eight hours.

Within eight hours, the old cat must find Mai Dong.

Under the most ideal circumstances, the old cat hopes that the Orion II spacecraft can land at the door of Kunlun Station, and it and Tang Yue can walk 500 meters to pick up the girl in the lander.

"Being close to one meter is one meter, after all, the Martian stray dog is a short-legged dog, and it can't run fast." Tang Yue sat on the side and wrote "A Brief Examination of the First Industrial Revolution and Social Development", "Girl, you can wear more clothes in the spacesuit, there are no extra women's clothes in Kunlun Station, of course, you can wear my clothes if you don't mind...... Old cat, can't you really bring down the food supplies on the space station? ”

The old cat glanced at Tang Yue and shrugged.

"Can't you buy a ticket for the compressed cookies?"

"If you hang outside, you can't break through the high temperature zone, and you'll be burned." The old cat said, "Miss Mai Dong, the next line is D336, D337, and D452, follow the instructions on the drawing, and be careful not to make a mistake." ”

Tang Yue really felt sorry and regretful for the materials on the space station, in the Martian wasteland, where survival materials were extremely scarce, the value of each biscuit was infinite.

But the importance of Mai Dong's life safety is also infinite.

Mai Dong is the higher order infinity of the importance of biscuits.

"Mr. Cat, Tang Yue, can we officially land?" Mai Dong asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait until everything is ready, you can't rush into this matter." Tang Yue replied, "We must be in the most perfect state and achieve the best results, and there is no chance of starting again in actual combat." ”

Since the success of the simulation test, Tang Yue's whole person has become brisk, and the big stone that was pressing on his heart was finally removed, and his anxiety was greatly relieved, and he walked with flutter. Tang Yue wrote a boring historical record like "A Brief Examination of the First Revolution and Social Development", and he could unconsciously put a smile on his face when he wrote it.

Occasionally, Mai Dong will reverie about the life after that, and finally she doesn't have to stay alone on the small space station, being able to step on the earth is a dreamlike life for Mai Dong, so many times she has dreamed of the vast plains, towering mountains and the horizon at the end of the world, but when she wakes up, she can only face the oppressive cabin and control panel, this huge drop can drive people crazy.

Although two people will greatly shorten the time limit for the use of materials in Kunlun Station, it is better than waiting for death alone.

Man is inherently dead.

Two people together always have more courage to face it than one person.

Mai Dong didn't want to ask how much fresh water was left in Kunlun Station, nor how much food was left in Kunlun Station, she and Tang Yue avoided this topic intentionally or unintentionally, neither of them shy away from death, they just didn't want to divide their lives.

"I think we have to vacate another crew cabin for Miss Mai Dong, and from now on, will the Kunlun Station hall have to be separated by a curtain? After all, you have to respect the girl's personal privacy...... "The old cat, as the housekeeper of Kunlun Station, has already begun to prepare for the preparation of welcoming Mai Dong, "And Tang Yue, Miss Mai Dong is down, you can't run around naked anymore." ”

The Kunlun station is designed to be full of six people, with a total of six crew cabins, but they are not suitable for the most part, and in the past Mars landing missions, there are often team members who stay on the space station.

Now all the crew compartments are used as warehouses by the old cat Tang Yue.

If Mai Dong is going to come down, they will have to vacate the empty room.

"First of all, I want to correct your mistakes, I never run around naked in Kunlun Station, I wear pants! In addition, there are only two people left in the whole universe. Tang Yue pouted, "Do you still need to take care of this?" ”

"I think that the whole individual personality, values, morals and the concept of right and wrong and shame are the foundation of human society, and if you can carry them out until the last moment, then human civilization can continue until the last moment." "Of course there are no rules to bind you here, you can get rid of them allβ€”in fact, as long as you don't throw a drooping organ around in front of me, I'm fine." ”

"What do you say?" Tang Yue rolled his eyes, "I'm still a normal person, how can I say that my moral personality has all collapsed?" I am a person with a complete higher education, and thanks to more than ten years of school and social education, I have a very normal and complete personality, and I am indestructible. ”

"A person with a normal personality has completely collapsed the moment the earth disappears." The old cat said, "You're just nervous." ”

Night.

For some reason, Tang Yue had that dream again, he dreamed that the Orion No. 2 spacecraft was burning and falling from the lead-gray sky, Mai Dong's signal disappeared in the murmur of electricity, and he and the old cat drove the Martian stray dog to chase desperately, but they couldn't catch up, and the spaceship seemed to have crashed to the end of the world.

Tang Yue clearly felt that his limbs were stiff and numb, unable to move, he wanted to shout Mai Dong's name, but no matter what, he couldn't make a sound, he could only watch as the huge and twisted body of the spaceship slowly fell below the horizon, like a dead whale, but this whale was burning with a raging fire, and the hot air flow was blowing in his face.

Before Tang Yue could wake up from the nightmare, he was woken up by a slap.

He opened his eyes and saw a pair of bright cat's eyes in the darkness.

Tang Yue was about to complain that the ghost cat was full of food to disturb his rest, but he was calmed by the old cat's stern eyes, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked, "What's wrong?"

The old cat stood beside Tang Yue's bed and replied word by word: "The circle of heaven has shrunk."

Tang Yue chuckled in his heart.

"Where will it fall?"

The old cat was silent for a few seconds.

"The edge of the Great Setis plateau, eight hundred kilometers from us."
