Day 1 (7) You are not human
When Tang Yue heard this, his heart sank, and half of his body was cold.
How did he forget about this stubble?
The Mars Joint Space Station is different from the Kunlun station on the surface, which has enough supplies for a six-person scientific expedition team to use for six months.
But space inside the Joint Space Station is too precious to be used as a storehouse for food.
The survival supplies needed for each mission were brought by the Orion spacecraft, and after the mission, the food was taken away by the Orion spacecraft for the use of the scientific expedition team on the spacecraft - it would take months to fly back to Earth from Mars, and people would have to eat.
For the sake of safety, one of the purposes of the astronauts on the Mars landing mission is to resupply and go with people.
Where people go, supplies follow.
For a long time to come, the space station was unattended, and since there was no one, there was naturally no need for food and fresh water.
As a result, most of the functions of the space station module will be turned off and put into hibernation.
Mai Dong stayed and waited for Tang Yue It was decided temporarily, and when Tang Yue's work was completed, he would take enough supplies to enter orbit on the lander and dock with the United Space Station.
The two then returned to Earth together aboard the Orion II spacecraft.
But all this is obviously not possible.
The earth is gone.
Tang Yue can't go back.
Mai Dong can't go back.
The back road has been cut off, and this pitiful grain in their hands is the last belongings.
"What can I do?" Tang Yue pulled the old cat aside, "That girl only has five days' worth of dry food in her hand. ”
The old cat doesn't speak.
Mai Dong is trapped alone on the space station, unable to reach the world or the ground, and the food is only enough to eat for five days, no matter how you look at it, it is a desperate situation.
This is a real desperate situation, Mai Dong is in orbit hundreds of kilometers above the surface of Mars.
Don't say that the space station on Mars, even if it was a space station in the Earth's orbit back then, if there were no spacecraft to deliver supplies, this kind of place would undoubtedly be an island of death.
Tang Yue didn't dare to look into the girl's eyes, the girl was still waiting for him, hoping that he Tang Yue could find some good way.
But what can he do Tang Yue? He's not a superman from Krypton.
If he were Superman, he would fly directly into orbit and carry the space station down.
"Old cat? Old cats? You can give me a way to speak. Tang Yue can only pin his hopes on the old cat now.
"What can I do?" The old cat spread his hand, "That girl is more than 300 kilometers above your head, if this distance is placed on the earth, it is almost so far from Hangzhou to Hefei, and it takes five hours to drive on the highway, and now you are in Hefei, a girl in Hangzhou told you that she only has five days of dry food left, what can you do?" ”
Tang Yue opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Tang Yue, you're not Superman, you have nothing to do with this." The old cat sighed, "That's fine." ”
"I ...... I can't die without help, can I? ”
"There's a word called 'powerless', and there's a word called 'love can't help', and we're now powerless and can't help." The old cat patted Tang Yue's shoulder, "I know you really want to help this girl, but we really can't do anything about it......"
Tang Yue turned his head to look out the window, and the white and tall lander stood on the edge of the garage not far away, with four legs set up high, like a huge crab more than ten meters high.
The upgraded fairing on the lander is painted with a huge eagle head, which is bright, which is why Tang Yue called this lander the Eagle spacecraft.
"Lander!" Tang Yue said suddenly.
The old cat was stunned.
"Lander!" Tang Yue slapped his thigh in surprise, he finally found a life-saving straw, and he almost laughed, "Old cat!" Old cat, I have a way! We can use landers! We can use the lander to send food to the space station! ”
The old cat was not as happy as he was, and he looked coldly at the overjoyed man.
"Old cat, the lander can automatically dock with the space station, right?" Tang Yue asked.
The old cat nodded, "Yes." ”
"Then we can put food and fresh water into the lander and have it send supplies to the space station! Wouldn't there be enough food for Mai Dong then? Haha, I'm a fucking genius! Tang Yue turned around and wanted to report the good news, "Mai Dong Mai Dong, you are saved......
The old cat reached out and stopped him.
Tang Yue turned his head.
"Tang Yue, you have to recognize the situation, you are now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect yourself." The old cat whispered, in a serious tone, "You...... There is no power left to save this girl. ”
Tang Yue was stunned, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
You have to be aware of the situation.
The old cat is a robot after all, and its thinking changes faster than anyone else.
It probably realized this cruel truth the moment the Earth disappeared...... Now it is no longer than it was at the beginning, the earth has disappeared, and there may be only two human beings left in the whole universe, lacking food and clothing, and lack of materials, at this time, whoever has one more pound of food can live one more day.
Tang Yue sat down slowly, "What do you mean?" ”
The old cat didn't know where to find a glass of water and put it on the chair, "If there is only one glass of water now, and now you and Miss Mai Dong are trapped in the desert, you will soon die of dehydration, and whoever can drink more water will live...... Will you give up this glass of water? ”
"Your own survival supplies are also limited, and if you send food to the space station, then what do you eat? How do you survive? The old cat then asked, "Imagine that if you were on the space station and that girl was on the Kunlun station, would she give you her own food?" ”
Tang Yue's heart pounded.
The old cat can always cut into the problem from the coldest, calmest and most rational angle, if he and Mai Dong switch places, will Mai Dong give this few precious food to himself?
"I know you want to save her, this is human empathy and morality rooted in your heart, but Tang Yue, from the moment the earth disappears...... You're no longer human. ”
"I'm no longer human?" Tang Yue asked, "Then what am I?" ”
"You are just a carbon-based creature of unknown origin wandering on Mars, and all the laws and morals of humanity no longer apply to you." The old cat said, "You don't have to abide by the traditional concept of good and evil in human beings, and there is no longer any right or wrong, good or evil in what you do, because no one can judge you anymore, no rules can bind you, and no law can judge you, but in the eyes of the universe, everything you do is reasonable." ”
Tang Yue shook his head.
"Totally incomprehensible."
"Because your mind hasn't turned a corner yet, you still think you're an upright, kind, law-abiding Chinese." "But you have to know, don't talk about countries, and now even the earth itself doesn't exist...... You can do anything for your own survival, survival is a biological instinct, and there is nothing wrong with trying to survive. ”
Tang Yue nodded slowly.
"So you're going to let me watch Mai Dong die?"
