Tang Yue had a box at his feet, and this box was the express delivery he was about to send out...... Tang Yue was busy for most of the day, and finally delivered the first box to the foot of the Eagle spaceship.

But he now faces a conundrum.

Tang Yue raised his head and looked up at the lander above his head, the express delivery was at his feet, but the delivery car was more than ten meters above his head, how could he send this box up?

Under normal circumstances, transporting cargo to the cargo hold of the Eagle spacecraft requires the cooperation of at least three people, one person controlling the winch and crane on the ship, one person on the ground in charge of packing and packing, and a third person carrying the cargo up together.

But now Tang Yue has only one person, and he has to be used for three people alone.

Tang Yue put down the gangway.

The old cat followed the gangway down.

A man and a cat looked at each other for a few seconds.

"What are you doing down here?" Tang Yue asked, "Aren't you overhauling the engine?" ”

"Do you have a bubble in your brain?" The old cat asked.

Tang Yue followed the gangway to slowly ascend and climbed into the cargo hold with great difficulty.

Since he had to lift up the materials underneath, the bottom hatch of the cargo hold could not be closed, and the cargo hold was in a state of communication with the outside atmosphere, so Tang Yue had to wear an extravehicular suit to complete the work.

There is a small electric crane and winch in the cargo hold, the function of the crane is to lift the goods from the ground, which can be electric or manual, and its maximum weight is one hundred and fifty kilograms, which is about the weight of two Tang Yue.

The average weight of each box packed by the old cat is about 100 kilograms, which is still within the capacity of the crane.

Tang Yue threw the cable through the hatch and fell to the ground.

"Hell, that's a hassle." Tang Yue shook his head, cautiously walked through the hatch, and grabbed the gangway, "Every time you have to go up and down, why can't they design a lift?" ”

"Will you eat the extra weight?" The old cat knocked on the lander fairing in front of him, and before he could do anything, he lowered it again along with the gangway.

The old cat is full of black lines.

"Every time I have to go up with you, why can't they design two gangways?"

"Will you eat the extra weight?" Tang Yue happily seized the opportunity to fight back against the old cat.

Tang Yue was on the ground, grabbed the cable hanging from his head, tied it firmly with the box, and then pulled it hard, trying to test the firmness.

It is very dangerous to lift the goods by one person, because there is no one else to help to pick it up, so the goods are likely to be shaken by the wind in mid-air, and the big box weighing a hundred kilograms is as terrible as a battering ram.

So Tang Yue must be cautious.

He climbed into the hold, glanced at the cargo underneath to make sure it was correct, and then pulled the switch on the crane.

The motor "buzzed" and the cable began to retract, pulling the box and starting to rise slowly.

"Old cat!" Tang Yue shouted in the channel, "You watch out for that box!" It's a bit shaky! Don't get smashed! ”

There was no response in the channel.

Tang Yue was stunned, lying on the floor of the cargo hold, and looked down.

Get.

The old cat has been smashed down.

The old cat stood on the gangway, half of his body poking into the access opening of the fairing, and beside it was a crunching cable.

Tang Yue was busy hoisting the supplies into the cargo hold, he went back and forth between the Kunlun station and the lander, pulling a small cart and humming a little song, stacking large and small boxes at the feet of the Eagle spaceship, and then transporting them to the cargo hold one by one.

They had been busy all afternoon, and the sun was already setting in the west.

There were a total of fifteen boxes of supplies that were decided to be sent to the Joint Space Station, adding up to more than a ton, and most of them were food, of course, some daily necessities and medicines.

Tang Yue basically divided the materials in Kunlun Station in half, keeping half of them for himself and giving the other half to Mai Dong.

The man stood in the cargo hold, he was already full of boxes, crowded, the cargo hold of the Eagle spacecraft was not large, in the previous Mars landing mission, the cargo hold of the land vehicle was filled with scientific research samples, the weight of these samples is generally measured in grams and kilograms, and this is the first time that the load is tonnage.

Tang Yue used nylon straps to fasten the boxes to the floor and walls, making sure they wouldn't move around.

If the crate rolls around during liftoff, it will change the ship's center of gravity, which may cause the launch to fail.

"Mr. Tang Yue? Are you there? ”

"Yes." Tang Yue grabbed the cable of the crane, took a deep breath, and pulled up the supply box hanging underneath, "Woke up?" ”

The girl nodded and yawned, "Wake up." ”

Mai Dong on the space station spends most of his time sleeping, this is to save energy, and to hold on until Tang Yue and the old cat send supplies.

Now that I think about it, Lao Wang really didn't think about what he did, and Jiuquan Center didn't think about it, and they left too little food for Mai Dong, which was a very serious mistake.

If Lao Wang could leave a few more days of food for Mai Dong, then Tang Yue wouldn't have to be so anxious now - but this idea was also purely an afterthought, the food reserved in the space station was originally enough to support Tang Yue's return, but who would have thought that the earth would disappear and Tang Yue would not be able to go back?

"I just had a dream that the earth is back again, and I came back to ......the earth in a spaceship," Mai Dong said, "and the people at the center made a lot of delicious food to greet us, including roast duck with beer, chicken wings with cola, braised lion's head, mutton shabu, braised pork, and so many other delicious things." ”

"What a dream." Tang Yue was silent for a few seconds, "And then?" ”

"Then I woke up hungry." The girl's voice lowered.

"How much food do you have over there?"

"I also have three compressed cookies and two sandwiches." Mai Dong replied, "But this is tomorrow's food...... Can I eat them? ”

Tang Yue was a little distressed, this is the twenty-first century, but what Mai Dong said is still like a famine.

"I can't." Tang Yue ruthlessly stopped her, "You have to save these foods for tomorrow, otherwise you won't be able to maintain enough physical strength tomorrow." ”

"Oh." The girl nodded, "Then I won't eat it." ”

"We've packed the supplies onto the ship, everything is ready, and we'll send it to you tomorrow." Tang Yue comforted her, "Hold on a little longer, hold on for twelve hours!" The courier has been packed and loaded into the car, and the girl will be delivered in twelve hours, and then hold on a little and carry forward the indomitable revolutionary spirit! Comrade Mai Dong! ”

"Mr. Tang Yue, you are really interesting." Mai Dong smiled and hesitated for a while, "Tang...... Mr. Tang Yue? I have a question. ”

"Huh?"

"I ...... I've been thinking...... What if it fails? ”

"Failure?"

The girl nodded, "What if the Eagle fails to launch?" I...... Am I going to die here? ”

"No!" Tang Yue interrupted her very harshly, "Can you hope for something better?" With me and the old cat here, how could it fail? Female comrades just like to think crankily, Mai Dong, you obviously don't have enough ideological awareness, how can you have a defeatist tendency towards the great revolutionary cause? ”

"Right...... I'm sorry. ”

"Are you a party member?" Tang Yue asked.

"Yes."

"Comrade Mai Dong, you are now one of the only two remaining human beings in the whole universe, and the task entrusted to you by the organization is to survive well and do your best to live optimistically."

Tang Yue was serious and fixed the box in his hand.

"So there can be no negative thoughts, there can be no defeatist thoughts, and we assure you that tomorrow's launch will be successful."

There are now ten boxes in the cargo hold, and the supplies at the foot of the Eagle spaceship have been brought up, and there are still five boxes left in the Kunlun station.

Tang Yue climbed into the command cabin, he decided to rest and recover his strength first, and then go and move the rest of the boxes.

Tang Yue raised his head, looked around, and was suddenly stunned.

"Old cat!" Tang Yue lowered his head and shouted below.

"Huh?"

"Why do I feel like it's going to change outside?" Tang Yue looked through the porthole, trying to look at the sand dunes in the distance, where there was a faint amount of sand and dust.

The old cat was stunned, immediately put down the flaw detector in his hand, climbed up vigorously, stood next to Tang Yue, and looked in the direction of his finger.

In just a few seconds, the light outside the window had dimmed.

This is not because the sun has set, but because the sand and dust in the air has increased dramatically, and the luminous flux has decreased.

"Is it going to change?" Tang Yue asked.

The old cat's face changed suddenly.
