Tang Yue stared at the star on the monitor for a long time.

It was just a small point of light, dim and distant, almost still in the picture, and it was hard to imagine that it was a huge object weighing 102 trillion tons, speeding between the stars at a speed of 70 kilometers per second, carrying the astonishing energy of more than 5200 billion nuclear bombs.

Looking at it this way, Tang Yue didn't even believe that it could destroy himself.

It wasn't even bigger than its own little finger, just a speck of dust in the vast stars.

The old cat sat on a chair with two paws on one side, crossed his legs, lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, with a computer keyboard and a stack of scratch paper in front of him.

"The Joint Space Station can't avoid the impact, the chance of survival is too low, we have to prepare to take Mai Dong next." Tang Yue's gaze left the monitor, "There are still more than forty days left, we have to hurry." ”

"Hmm."

The old cat replied without being salty.

"The only thing we can use is the Eagle spaceship, and we have no other chance than that."

"Hmm."

"The heat insulation tile can theoretically survive the thermal barrier, but the attitude stability is a big problem, without propellant and engine, the Eagle spacecraft cannot maintain the correct attitude when re-entering the atmosphere, and it will definitely crash."

"Hmm."

"Can you say something other than mm-hmm?"

"Then don't bother me, I'm thinking about it." The old cat got up and left his chair, walked to the wall of the hall, faced the wall, and leaned back.

"Tang Yue, Mr. Cat, here is a part of the history of Western philosophy, which has been sorted out, all the way to Chernyshevsky, Marx and Engels, as well as some positivism, structuralism and existentialism...... Well? What about Mr. Cat? ”

Mai Dong sent a file over.

Although both the Joint Space Station and the Kunlun Station are facing extinction, the documentation cannot be stopped.

Of course, this task was mainly entrusted to Mai Dong, and the self-rescue work was carried out by Tang Yue and Lao Mao.

Anyway, Mai Dong can't help, so it's better to let her continue to write about the history, how much can she write.

"Your Mr. Cat is facing the wall, are you its wall breaker?"

Tang Yue turned the camera so that Mai Dong could see the old cat, who was holding his forehead against the wall with his hands behind his back, motionless.

"Mr. Cat, Mr. Cat? The pieces have already been sent. ”

"Well, I received it, but the Lord doesn't care."

The old cat replied lightly, without looking back or opening his eyes.

"Mai Dong, when will you be able to go out of the cabin again?" Tang Yue screwed the camera back.

"Out of the cabin?"

"Yes, we need you to check the bottom insulation tile of the Eagle ship." Tang Yue explained, "We're going to take you down." ”

Mai Dong was taken aback at first, and then was stunned for a long time.

She bit her lip, her gaze wandering for a moment, then returned to the communication system and stroked her hair.

"But...... But the Eagle spacecraft has been scrapped, isn't it without the ability to re-enter the atmosphere? Won't you have a problem riding it? ”

"Yes, it's scrapped."

"Can you still use it if it's scrapped?" Mai Dong was a little surprised.

"We found that its safety redundancy design could support one more entry into the atmosphere, which was the only chance."

"That'...... And what about the engine, and the fuel? We don't have a parachute either, so how can we slow down when the time comes......"

"Any problems are up to me and the old cat to solve." Tang Yue interrupted her, "You are only responsible for execution, can you do it?" ”

Mai Dong was still a little hesitant, but she was moved by Tang Yue's determined gaze, this young man was dressed in a crumpled blanket, his face was thin and his beard was scum, and he looked like a malnourished tramp.

But there was a confident glow and sparkle in his eyes - looking at those eyes, even though you knew that this would most likely not succeed, you still couldn't help but grab his outstretched hand.

Since the earth disappeared, Mai Dong has not thought that he will be able to come down.

The Eagle spacecraft is just a one-time vehicle, and no one from its designer, builder to user has ever thought of re-entering the atmosphere with it.

Because it's suicide.

One step forward is the abyss, and the man is shouting from below: Jump down, I will catch you!

Would you jump with your eyes closed?

Mai Dong stared into Tang Yue's eyes, she suddenly realized that she had never seen cowardice and cringe in these eyes, whether it was the disappearance of the earth, or the death of the tomato, so many disasters and ends, Tang Yue could be disappointed or desperate, but he was never afraid and never flinched...... What kind of person is this?

You watched him struggling through the dark storm, carrying the communication antenna and roaring, you watched him sit in the cold hall, holding the seedling of death in his arms and showing sadness, now facing the most terrifying natural disaster, the comet is about to hit Mars, Tang Yue is still struggling to get up to find the last ray of life, what is it that has supported him all the way to the present?

Have you never known what weariness is?

"Mai Dong, you have to believe us."

"Of course I believe you." Mai Dong leaned against the bulkhead, hit his head on Ah Q's stomach, and sighed, "I want to go down too, you can't understand what it's like to spend so many days on the space station." ”

The girl wrinkled her nose, thought for a moment, and added.

"It's hell on earth, I really want to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible."

Mai Dong had been living on the space station for more than a year before the Earth disappeared, and she tried her best to transform the station into a suitable place to live, putting brightly colored stickers in the bedroom and core module, hanging plush toys and small pendants, and playing soft and melodious piano music and light music on a loop, so as to minimize the stiff and cold industrial and mechanical feeling.

But no matter how you dress up a bunch of splicing pipes, you can't change the fact that they are small and the atmosphere is oppressive, and the music can't overpower the ubiquitous roaring noise, and the space station is not a suitable place for long-term life after all.

Sometimes Mai Dong floats in the core cabin, looking at the bulkhead and the dense buttons of the control panel in front of him, he will feel that he is lying in a coffin.

The vast plains and endless world that can be galloped to your heart's content can only appear in dreams.

"Listen, girl, let's make a plan." Tang Yue said, "You arrange the time, we need to go out of the capsule again to check the heat insulation tile of the Eagle spacecraft, this is our only hope." ”

"Good!" Mai Dong nodded, "I'll get out of the cabin again." ”

To check the condition of the Eagle spacecraft, Mai Dong had to work in the cabin.

After a supply transportation was completed, the upgrade of the Eagle spacecraft docked in the Silence multi-purpose module, which is the dock for the Orion spacecraft, which is the farthest away from the core module of the Crystal.

They are preparing to disconnect the Eagle spacecraft from the Silence module and redock it to the Hope experiment module.

"Old cat! The old cat came to operate the super boom, did you hear that? Don't face the wall! I'm your wall-breaker! ”

"I see, but the Lord doesn't care."
