End
The safety rope successfully pulled the Eagle spacecraft, which slowed down to zero before the rope reached its limit, and the super arm slowly brought the lander back before docking with the Union Space Station.
"Docking success, Mr. Cat."
The old cat let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair, it was only then that it really put its mind at ease, and the moment the docking mechanism was locked, it meant that the Eagle spacecraft had successfully entered the port, and there could be no more problems.
The old cat then ordered Orion 2 to turn on the engine, pushing the Joint Space Station to gradually accelerate to an altitude and return to an orbit of more than 300 kilometers.
Orion spacecraft has engine propellant left, and it does the job.
At this point, the supply delivery mission has been successfully completed.
The old cat and Tang Yue risked their lives and struggled hard for five days, overcoming many difficulties, ups and downs, and after a lot of hardships, they finally delivered this express to the destination.
Mai Dong received half of the supplies from Kunlun Station, which was enough for her to use for two years, and the urgent need for food shortages was alleviated.
As for two years later...... Two years from now, two years from now.
Maybe they won't live to be two years from now?
Everyone lives one day at a time, maybe tomorrow will be hanging, who can think so far away? Now there are only two people left in the whole universe, and to live well today is to be responsible for one-half of all mankind.
"The Joint Space Station and the lander have been connected, the system is working normally, and the hatch can be opened." Mai Dong reported.
"Roger." The old cat nodded.
The old cat turned his head and glanced out of the porthole, it was still pitch black outside the window, the sandstorm was still continuing, Mai Dong was already safe and sound, but it and Tang Yue still had to face the challenge of the sandstorm next.
Fortunately, the anemometer showed signs of abating, and the cyclone above them should be leaving Kunlun Station.
Due to the lack of monitoring means, the old cat still does not know the size of the cyclone, and now it seems that it may be just a small storm, not completely covering the entire Ihidi plain.
The old cat had been worried that the storm would blow for a few months, so that the Kunlun station would not be replenished with electricity, and both it and Tang Yue would be finished—it seemed that they were lucky.
As long as the wind speed drops and the intensity of the sandstorm decreases to the point where sunlight can be seen, then the solar panels will generate electricity and the Kunlun station will be able to hold on – thinking of the solar panels, the old cat remembers that the panels were still outside, and that the day was too busy to take them back indoors.
Low temperatures and sandstorms can damage the solar panels, which are the source of electricity for the Kunlun station and cannot be replenished, so it will have to put the panels away later.
"Tang Yue, can Tang Yue hear me? We did it...... The Eagle has successfully entered the port, and Miss Mai Dong has been saved. The old cat said, "How's your situation there?" ”
"Success?"
"It worked." The old cat nodded.
Tang Yue didn't speak again, as soon as he heard that the docking was successful, his tense nerves relaxed, his head tilted, and he immediately fell into a coma.
Tang Yue's physical overdraft was more serious than Mai Dong's, and the last hour was completely supported by one breath, he stood in the dark sandstorm for three or four hours, covered in mud and sand, the energy of the Mingguang armor had been consumed to the red line, and the outdoor temperature was as low as minus ninety degrees Celsius, Tang Yue's survival until now was all protected by the life support system of the Mingguang armor.
As long as there was any damage to the surface of the Mingguang armor, then the pressure and temperature inside the spacesuit would quickly decrease, and Tang Yue would suffocate to death in a few minutes.
Human beings are still too fragile creatures, the resistance to the harsh environment is too low, if the ambient temperature exceeds 90 degrees Celsius, ordinary people can only hold on for 20 minutes at most, below zero degrees is enough to freeze an adult to death, during this period of less than 100 degrees is the range of human survival tolerance.
In the huge temperature span of thermonuclear fusion from absolute zero to 10 million degrees Celsius in the universe, the narrow tolerance range of human beings is really negligible, which may also indicate that the existence of life is only a miracle in the cracks.
"Miss Mai Dong, you carefully count the supplies, we are about to close the contact." The old cat sighed, pushed away the keyboard, turned around and took off the spacesuit, "I have to carry Tang Yue back." ”
"Is Mr. Tang Yue okay?"
"It's not hung yet, that kid's life is very hard." The old cat replied, "But it's not far from hanging." ”
It put on its helmet and stood in the middle of the hall of Kunlun Station for a few seconds before opening the hatch of the airlock chamber.
This long day is finally coming to an end.
But the old cat can foresee that the hardships and challenges they face have only just begun, and the road ahead is uncertain, and they don't know where to go.
But what about the more suffering? The increase in entropy in the universe will not be reversed, time will only flow forward, nothing in this world can stay in place, if you don't move forward, time will push you forward. This is like Tang Sanzang learning scriptures from the west and leaving Chang'an City, Guanyin Bodhisattva told you that it is a long journey of 108,000 miles, and the way is 9981 difficult, bandits block the way, demons are rampant, and everyone eats people without spitting out bones.
Seeing the difficulties and dangers ahead, you can only bite the bullet, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, can you still carry the burden and lead the white horse back to tell the emperor's brother that I will not do this work?
If this is an RPG, there is no way back from the moment you step out of the newbie village, and no matter how much you run back, you can only get stuck on the edge of the screen.
The old cat stepped into the airlock chamber and closed the hatch with his backhand.
"Tang Yue? Tang Yue, are you still alive? If you don't die, you squeak, and if you die, you squeak. ”
No one answered in the channel, and it seemed that he was unconscious.
The old cat shrugged, although Tang Yue was said to be tougher than Xiao Qiang, but if you put Xiao Qiang outside, it wouldn't survive for five minutes.
It was going to carry Tang Yue back.
Also take the battery board back.
Also check the state of the Kunlun station, check the amount of remaining materials, check the surplus of electricity energy, check this check that, all kinds of chicken and dog bits and pieces.
It seems that whether it is on Earth or on Mars, the troublesome and trivial things can never be done, and life is always made up of trivial things, and the old cat suddenly feels like a housekeeper.
Or maybe it's an old mother.
Although it is a cat, it has a very bad heart.
Whether the earth is destroyed, whether the sky is falling apart, the days that should be lived have to be lived, the dynasty has changed hands, it looks vigorous, after all, it can't withstand the hearth, pot, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the biggest adventure in the world is always life.
Even if the sky falls in front of you, the chopsticks on the dinner table still have to move.
The days ahead are still long.
