"Good morning, Mr. Cat, Don...... What's wrong with you guys? ”

Mai Dong was taken aback.

She saw Tang Yue sitting on the ground wrapped like a dumpling, wearing a hat and a mask, covering it tightly.

"There was a problem with the temperature control system, the control chip was damaged, and now the indoor temperature at Kunlun Station has dropped below freezing." As a robot, the old cat is powered by batteries, driven by motors, copper and iron, and its tolerance to low temperatures is much stronger than that of humans - even if the temperature is low, it will at most symbolically shiver once or twice, as a sign of respect for nature.

Therefore, whether the temperature control system is bad or not does not have much impact on it, and it is a big deal to shut down and hibernate.

"What about backups?" Mai Dong asked.

"The bad one is the backup." Tang Yue muttered, "Lao Wang, before leaving, they replaced the last aging processor and replaced the spare parts, and then there was a problem with this spare piece." ”

"What about the rest of the backups? Don't have any more backups? ”

"Who's going to stock up on a bunch of this stuff in Kunlun Station? Miss Mai Dong, would you put composite armor on the roof of your house? The old cat spread his hands.

Mai Dong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this meant.

"Aren't you afraid that a meteorite will fall from the sky and smash through the roof if you don't put a thick steel plate on the roof? It's terrible to have such a huge security risk. The old cat shrugged, and it raised the chip in its hand towards the camera, "In the same way, the processor damage of the temperature control system is a low-probability event, this little thing is designed to last more than ten years, and its performance is actually very reliable - everything else in the Kunlun station has a higher probability of failure than it, and the probability of damage to this thing is not much greater than being hit on the head by a meteorite." ”

"But prepare two more coins to be prepared......"

"You think it's a reserve of Chinese cabbage?" The old cat shook his head, "In a high-irradiation environment, semiconductor chips will lose their life even if they are not used - so there is no point in hoarding a bunch of spare processors, and when the processors in your cabinet are alive, the bunch of spare supplies you have hoarded should also be scrapped." ”

"No matter how low the probability is, I will be encountered." Tang Yue said sullenly, "I am the one who was hit on the head by a meteorite." ”

"The god of bad luck is with you."

"Without this processor, can the temperature control system be repaired?" Mai Dong asked, "For example, do it become manual control?" Or let the computer of Kunlun station be hosted? ”

"I've tried it all." Tang Yue shook his head, "It didn't work." ”

Last night he and the old cat tossed all night, all the methods that might work were tried, although the temperature control system is at most the level of a Gree air conditioner, but the trouble is that it and OGS are connected in series, Tang Yue had to carefully take care of molecular sieves and electrolyzed water modules, carbon dioxide filtration and absorption modules, fresh water recovery modules, these things are far more complex than an air conditioner, and very sophisticated.

Tang Yue and the old cat didn't dare to go too far, they didn't dare to move out of the set of repairing household appliances on the earth, if there was a problem with the OGS, then Tang Yue would interrupt the oxygen source, and its severity would far exceed the temperature control system.

Tang Yue wrapped his clothes tightly, the cold wind was blowing in Kunlun Station, and he missed the spring in the south of the earth, the day when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

If the earth hadn't disappeared, he would have returned to Earth with the old cat and Mai Dong a long time ago - anyway, the Kunlun station would be shut down, and the OGS and temperature control systems would be completely shut down, so it doesn't matter if the hell processor is bad or not, I will leave him with a flood after I leave.

As for the next team to come to Mars, they will bring brand new backups, and they will just replace them.

Tang Yue had an RTG next to him, he went to the garage to move the isotope temperature difference generator, the isotope temperature difference generator relied on plutonium-238 decay and heat release, and did not need external energy, at this time Tang Yue could only rely on this thing to keep warm...... He couldn't even make a fire, and the Kunlun station was full of flame-retardant materials as far as the eye could see.

However, plutonium-238 is a terrifying radioactive element, and although the RTG is actually very safe because it is shielded from radiation with a thick protective shell, Tang Yue still carries a Geiger counter in his hand.

The RTG moved to Kunlun Station, and the garage lost its heat source, so the fermenting stool might be a little difficult.

However, Tang Yue couldn't protect himself at the moment, so he could only grieve his brother.

"What should I do?" Mai Dong was very anxious, "Is there any other way to save it?" If the temperature keeps dropping, how are you going to live? ”

Tang Yue hugged RTG tightly, no matter what radiation was not radiated, at this time, even if the other party was an atomic bomb, he hugged it, and then sighed comfortably, and hummed like a sow: "It's still the generator to be warm, I decided, I will never leave RTG in this life, and no one can separate the two of us."

"See?" The old cat turned his head and glanced at Mai Dong, kicked Tang Yue's ass, and shrugged, "This thing's life is tougher than Xiaoqiang, and his ability to survive is the best in the world, are you still worried that he won't survive?" ”

Mai Dong: "...... But you can't just let it go, right? The temperature control system has to be fixed. ”

The heat emitted by the isotope temperature difference generator is very limited, using RTG for heating is just a stopgap measure, if the temperature continues to drop, then the RTG will not last long, Tang Yue can sleep with the isotope temperature difference generator in his arms, but he can't work with this thing on his back.

"The temperature control system has to be fixed, we have one last way...... the old cat nodded, "but I need the help of the United Space Station." ”

Three hours ago.

"And one last way?" Tang Yue was surprised, "What method?" ”

The old cat threw the processor to Tang Yue, who reached out and caught it, "Look carefully." ”

"See what?"

"Look at this processor." The old cat said.

Tang Yue carefully observed the processor in his hand, this was just a very ordinary chip, the size of a fingernail, a black package, the edge was a fine metal pin, the shell was printed with the Intel company's trademark, and two lines of product numbers - TCU1524M2051120914, it didn't seem to have anything abnormal, its brothers of the same race were all over the earth, and they were all over the Little Overlord game console.

"What's wrong with this?" Tang Yue frowned, such a simple thing, can you still see the flowers?

"I've seen this kind of chip, TCU1524M temperature control processor, Mars mission engineering application version." The old cat pointed to the processor in Tang Yue's hand.

"Nonsense." Tang Yue rolled his eyes, "I've seen this thing too, we maintain the OGS cabinet every day, and we see each other every day, whether it's the previous one or this one." ”

"No...... I'm not talking about these two. The old cat shook its head, and it raised its three paws, "I'm talking about the third." ”
