Day 342 (3) All the insolent beings of this world
No one knows if they will be able to reach the coordinates in eight hours, and the rover usually works no more than two hours a day, and the old cat is optimistic, believing that even if two hours are spent on the car, the remaining six hours will be enough for them to reach their destination.
Tang Yue monitors the time and the power at the same time, but it is not only the Mingguang armor that needs to consume electricity, the old cat is also consuming electricity, for them, the power of the battery is the blood bar, and the moment the blood bar returns to zero, Game over.
If this is a game, then it is undoubtedly hellish difficulty.
"We're going at 27 kilometers per hour right now, which averages seven meters per second, and every time your heart beats, we go six meters." The old cat's voice came out of the earphones, and even though it was sitting next to it, Tang Yue still couldn't see its face clearly, and the huge amount of sand and dust in the air blocked all light.
"Then I let my heart beat faster, can I make the car go faster?"
"Obviously, no, although the heart is a powerful power source, unfortunately it can't drive the rover's electric motors." The old cat's eyes lit up slightly in the dark, "Six kilometers!" We have just crossed the last centimeter of six kilometers and now we are twenty-four kilometers from the target! ”
Tang Yue clutched the frame of the car tightly, the electronic watch on his wrist was beating second by second, and the helmet mask was filled with low-frequency wind noise.
He silently counted in his heart, every second the Mars rover would move forward seven meters, the old cat's driving style was quite ferocious, obviously squeezing the last performance potential of the Martian stray dogs, the stray dogs took them into the sand pit headlong, and then rushed out at the extreme high speed, flying sand and stones crackled and landed on Tang Yue's helmet mask.
"Seven kilometers!"
"Seven kilometers." The old cat's voice followed closely, "There are still twenty-three kilometers left." ”
"Electricity?"
"There's plenty of power left." The old cat replied, dimming the lights slightly.
"I'm asking you about your battery!" Tang Yue said loudly.
The old cat was stunned for a moment.
"My power is also very sufficient, it will definitely last longer than the Mingguang armor, you can rest assured of this."
"Since you've lasted longer than I have, I have something to ask you! Listen! Tang Yue tilted his body and shouted into the old cat's ear, trying to make his voice drown out the noise, "In case I can't make it to the end, and the Mingguang armor runs out of power and can't find the target, then the rest of the trouble will be handed over to you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense! You're the plaintiff! I'm just a driver, have you ever seen a driver go to a lawsuit instead of a plaintiff? The old cat refused, "This is your responsibility, don't put your responsibility on my head!" It's my responsibility to get you to your destination safe and sound! It's your responsibility to do what you have to do! ”
"But I, the plaintiff, am going to die on the way!" Tang Yue said, "The plaintiff has to get on the driver even if he hangs up, and where are you the driver?" You're a lawyer! You're just a lawyer who happens to be able to drive, a lawyer who happens to be a driver, and who happens to drive a car all his life! ”
"I tell you, if an animal sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, and looks like a duck, then it is a duck!" The old cat said, "My job is to drive, and I have driven a car all my life, so I am a driver!" ”
"No, you don't run away from reality, old cat, look me in the eye, you're a lawyer!"
"You are the one who needs to face reality, Tang Yue, I'm just a driver! I can't even remember the law......"
"Poe! Slope slope slope ——! ”
The old cat slammed on the brakes to slow down urgently, but it was too late, and the Martian stray dog drove up the dirt slope, rushed past the highest point, and took off on all four wheels at the same time.
"Don't you look at the road while driving?"
"You made me look into your eyes!" The old cat was furious, the stray dog landed heavily along the parabola, almost overturning, the rover did not have a strong shock-resistant suspension, the body structure made a sharp wail in the impact, and Tang Yue's internal organs were churning violently.
"You can draw Mickey Mouse and Mario, as long as you can draw Mickey Mouse, you're a good lawyer." Tang Yue said, "Listen, the letter said that I was going to be there in person, and none of us knew if you were a cat or not, and we didn't know what the specific procedure was, so you can take my corpse with you...... If they don't admit it, then you can put my corpse there and block them at the door and put a banner!" ”
"Where did you learn the trick of petitioning?"
"I thought of the slogan on the banner, and it was written, 'Alien dog thieves have lost their conscience, I live and die with the earth, and return my life!' , bilingual in Chinese and English. ”
"If even the power of the Mingguang armor is exhausted, then my remaining power will help you dig a pit at most, so as not to make you violent corpse wilderness, I am afraid that such a complicated operation will not be possible." The old cat shook his head, "Don't think too much, if we don't have that much, we'll definitely make it to that damn coordinate...... Eight kilometers! Twenty-two kilometers left from the destination! ”
The weather is getting worse and worse, the air is becoming more and more like a thick ink, Tang Yue is holding a small emergency light in his hand, looking left and right, this is a completely dark world, no sky can be seen and no ground can be seen, they seem to be galloping in an impressionist oil painting, the painter gave up all precise forms and refined the majestic god, he splashed ink wantonly, brushed on the paper with sharp, rough and crazy lines, that is the storm.
If there really is such a painting, then Tang Yue and the old cat must be invisible, the only thing the audience can see is the wind frozen on the paper, the sharp sand in the wind, and the faint dim light in the darkness, in the range that the light can illuminate, it will outline the shadow of a raised hand.
"Nine kilometers! Twenty-one kilometers remaining! ”
"Ten kilometers! Twenty kilometers! ”
"Eleven kilometers, nineteen kilometers remaining!" Tang Yue shouted, "The more fierce the wind, the more my heart is swinging!" Like a speck of dust, dancing freely with the wind! ”
"I want to clench my hands with firm, yet scattered courage! I'll be a giant! Step on the strength and dream on it! ”
"Twelve kilometers! Eighteen kilometers remaining! ”
"Thirteen kilometers, seventeen kilometers remaining."
"Blow, blow, I'm barefoot and not afraid! Blow, blow, don't bother me! The old cat also hummed, "You see I'm smiling bravely, you see I'm waving bravely!" ”
"Fourteen kilometers!"
"Fifteen kilometers!"
"Sixteen kilometers!"
"Seventeen kilometers!"
"All the insolent lives in this world will bloom in the storm." The old cat said, "Eighteen kilometers! ”
"Nineteen kilometers!"
"Twenty kilometers!"
"Twenty-one kilometers!"
"Twenty-two kilometers!"
"Twenty-three kilometers!"
The Martian stray dog is moving forward against the storm, the remaining power of the battery is declining rapidly, the temperature in the storm has been reduced to minus 60 degrees Celsius, the outside temperature is obviously not a friendly environment for the battery, the power changes from green to yellow and finally enters the red range, the center console has begun to alarm, but the old cat still steps on the accelerator and does not let go, it can be seen that the old cat is squeezing the last bit of strength of the rover, it continues to reduce the brightness of the lights, but refuses to slow down at all.
It wants to get as close to its destination as possible before the stray dog ends its life.
"Twenty-four kilometers!"
"Twenty-five kilometers!"
"Twenty-six kilometers!" The old cat gritted his teeth, "One hundred meters!" Two hundred meters! Three hundred meters! Three hundred and fifty meters! ”
The Martian stray dog couldn't hold on, it was overloaded in a low temperature and harsh environment for too long, the remaining power of the battery had bottomed out, the axle and the motor made abnormal noises, and it climbed forward one hundred meters and one hundred meters.
This hard-working old dog finally came to the end of its life, but unfortunately it could not get a perfect fate and ending, and could only be abandoned in the boundless dark dust storm, and finally buried by the wind and sand.
The Martian stray dog slowly stopped in the darkness, and the bright car lights gradually went out.
The old cat unbuckled his seat belt and patted Tang Yue's shoulder, "It's time to get off the station!" ”
"Arrived at the coordinates?"
"No, the Martian Stray Dogs have arrived at the terminal, it's time for us to change trains."
Tang Yue was a little surprised, change trains?
"Transfer to bus number 11!"
