"Press the F key to enter the tank...... Ah no, get into the lander. ”

Tang Yue propped up his head, bored, and his expression was numb.

This is the eleventh simulation of the day, and the old cat has gambled everything he can bet on, from his cat grid to the water cup on the table - "I swear by this water glass that the next test will be successful!" But Mars was so sure that Orion 2 could not land safely, the old cat was defeated again and again, and the spacecraft bloomed again and again.

"Mai Dong, remember, press the Tab key to bring up the menu bar, and press the M key to open the map......"

Tang Yue.

"I remember, press the Tab key to bring up the menu bar, and press the M key to open the map."

Mai Dong also followed and said cross talk.

Due to repeated failures in the tests, none of which managed to land below 10,000 meters, the old cat has moved on to deeper corrections and adjustments, and it has begun to examine its own plan from scratch, designing programs and testing them, with unexplained expletives on its lips and a keyboard that sounds like a machine gun.

As for Tang Yue and Mai Dong, the two of them were resting at the old cat's words.

Mai Dong is taking care of the plants in the space station, the tomato lettuce is growing quite luxuriantly in the incubator, they are destined to not be able to take them down the orbit, they can only stay on the joint space station, Mai Dong does not know how long they can survive without taking care of them, the plant incubator can run automatically, the light and irrigation can be set in advance, if there are no problems with electricity and water sources, they should be able to live until they die naturally.

"Ah Chang, Ah Chang...... You're dropping your leaves again. ”

Ah Chang is also an old tomato, it bears fruit twice, and even in its normal life cycle, it is about to enter the end of its life when it reaches the end of its life.

As old as Ah Chang, there are also Shanhaijing and Ru, which are all old things whose vitality has declined, and they have long been unable to bear fruit, but Mai Dong still raises them. In the space station, where every inch of land and water resources are precious, they are no longer worth cultivating, and the old cat once suggested that Mai Dong cut off their source of nutrients and use their carcasses as fertilizer.

But Tang Yue said that the meaning of life cannot be quantified.

Letting them die peacefully is a fundamental respect for one carbon-based organism for another.

"Live with dignity, what do you think distinguishes us hairless naked apes from tomato lettuce and non-living things like stone and earth?" Tang Yue said leisurely, "It is the innate dignity of life. ”

Mai Dong adjusts the light of the incubator, and if Mai Dong leaves the United Space Station, then she will turn off all unnecessary mechanisms, reduce the power of the life support system, and ensure the survival of the plants as much as possible.

"I may be leaving you, Ah Chang, Shanhaijing, and Ru." Through the glass, the girl whispered to the tomatoes in the box, "You have to be good." ”

Mai Dong doesn't know if she will make a successful landing, but when she leaves the space station, she must say goodbye forever.

The old cat once said that a comet's impact would destroy the space station 100 percent, and Mai Dong could only pray that the space station would escape, at least until it would allow the tomato lettuce to die a normal death.

"Kunlun Station Earthquake and Disaster Prevention Guide ......" Tang Yue frowned and looked at the list in his hand, "You wrote it?" ”

"Of course I wrote it." The old cat stared at the monitor, holding his arms and legs.

"According to this, we will be able to keep Kunlun Station?" Tang Yue glanced up and down, the list listed hundreds of action measures in great detail, he didn't know when this was done by the old cat, the latter had obviously been focused on the landing of the Orion II spacecraft in recent days.

Multitasking is the basic skill of the old cat, it can use the front paws to do math and the back paws to write history, anyway, it is a cat, no one stipulates that the cat's hind paws cannot hold a pen.

"According to this, we have the greatest probability of keeping Kunlun Station." The old cat said, "Tang Yue, haven't you ever seen a comet with a diameter of 30 kilometers hit the surface of the earth, right?" ”

"It's like you've seen it."

"I haven't seen it either, to be precise, no life on Earth has ever seen it, and the last lucky ones to witness an asteroid hit Earth see are just a little brother in front of the behemoth we have to deal with at the moment." The old cat shook his head, "But we have math and physics, and HP workstations to make predictions and estimates." ”

The old cat pointed to the paper in Tang Yue's hand.

"If we are lucky and the comet falls at a distance of 2,500 kilometers, then the Kunlun station will not be destroyed at least in the moment of impact...... What we need to survive is the next series of chain reactions and secondary disasters, what do you think is the most destructive secondary disaster? ”

"Shockwave?"

"Oh, you can rest assured of this." The old cat waved his paws, "I think the energy of the impact can accelerate the air flow to eight or nine Machs, but this is Mars, and the atmosphere is too thin to blow Kunlun Station no matter how strong the wind is." ”

"Earthquake?"

“Bingo！” The old cat snapped his fingers, "That's right, in the absence of a tsunami, the earthquake is the most destructive disaster, this impact will cause an unprecedented violent earthquake - definitely a new version that you have never seen before, your commonly used Richter scale is no longer applicable here, if you insist on applying the Richter scale, then the earthquake intensity in the epicenter should be 26000000000000000000000000000000...... Well, that's right, don't stare at it, it's twenty-six trillion level. ”

Tang Yue's hand shook.

He was still immersed in the sweet dream that he had reached the top of the eighth or ninth level on the Richter scale.

"At the moment of impact, seismic waves will propagate along the rocks underground, and the speed of the longitudinal waves will be fast, and 357 seconds after the impact, the longitudinal waves will be the first to reach our feet, and the longitudinal waves are propulsion waves, which will make the ground float up and down." The old cat pointed to his feet.

"How big is the float?"

"I've done simulations." The old cat pricked up a toe, "Two thousand five hundred kilometers away, the surface of the earth floats up and down at least one meter." ”

"One meter?" Tang Yue glared, "Can you shake Kunlun Station up more than a meter high?" Then Kunlun Station must not fall apart? ”

The floor of the Kunlun station is not in direct contact with the surface of Mars, it is actually supported by a circle of six legs, about a few tens of centimeters above the ground, and the frame of the Kunlun station is designed with cushioning and seismic resistance in mind, but those designers and engineers have definitely not considered the earthquake of 26 trillion on the Richter scale.

"Don't worry, there is a transverse wave after the longitudinal wave, the speed of the transverse wave is slightly slower than the longitudinal wave, it will reach our feet in the 625th second after the impact, the transverse wave is a shear wave, it will tear the ground back and forth, left and right, tearing the entire surface, I can't simulate this, the final result is different in different geological conditions." The old cat said, "But one thing we can confirm is that Kunlun Station under normal conditions will definitely not be able to withstand this wave, and it will definitely fall apart." ”

"What should I do?"

Kunlun Station is the home of all people, and if it is destroyed, then everyone will die.

"It's unrealistic, we can't go head-to-head with this universe, that's looking for death...... But 5,000 years ago, Dayu told us that it is better to be sparse than blocked, and the wisdom of the ancestors can be used anywhere. The old cat replied, "Since Kunlun Station will definitely fall apart, then we might as well let it fall apart in advance." ”

Tang Yue was stunned, he raised the "Kunlun Station Earthquake Prevention Guide" in his hand, and a big character was eye-catching.

"Demolition!"
