Tang Yue carried the panels onto the trolley, and then dragged them out of the garage, the old cat took away ten panels, and now Tang Yue only has 30 panels left in his hand, 30 solar cells are not enough to fully support the operation of Kunlun Station, Tang Yue had to shut down a considerable part of the power-consuming equipment in Kunlun Station, and only keep the basic life support and communication system.

The indoor temperature of Kunlun Station is currently maintained at about minus 10 degrees Celsius, which is an out-and-out ice cellar, Tang Yue can only withstand the low temperature with Mingguang armor, and he feels warmer when he carries the battery panels outside than when he stays indoors.

The sun has risen to mid-air, tepid like a big light bulb, Tang Yue glanced up at the direction of the sun, because the rotation direction of Mars is the same as that of the earth, it is also from west to east, and the inclination angle is also similar, so the trajectory of the sun on the celestial sphere is basically similar to what you see on the earth, rising in the east and setting in the west.

Tang Yue unloaded the battery from the trolley, put it on the ground, and then plugged the cable tightly, he gently brushed off the dust on the surface of the battery board, and the smooth battery board reflected a huge round mask.

The reflection on the battery board couldn't see Tang Yue's appearance clearly, the shadow looked bloated and out of balance, like an alien with a huge head, Tang Yue stared at this shadow for a long time, and suddenly thought of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story.

Tang Yue sighed.

Tang Yue never thought that there would be any problems with the old cat, the latter was the most reliable of the three of them, the old cat had been on the Kunlun station for many years, had rich experience, was very old, and was the stationmaster of the Kunlun station in the actual sense - although the nominal stationmaster of the Kunlun station did not have a fixed candidate, and was served by the commander of the previous Mars landing missions.

Transporting the Cherome probe is just a simple delivery, which is completely within the ability of the old cat, driving hundreds of kilometers is impossible for Tang Yue, but it is nothing for the old cat, in the past Mars missions, it has successfully completed far more difficult than this work, and it stands to reason that the old cat should not have any problems.

Tang Yue really couldn't figure out what trouble could be on Mars that could make the old cat fall into a situation where he was completely out of touch.

Once the contact is lost, the space station will not be able to locate the Martian stray dogs, and the positioning of the stray dogs in the past requires the active contact of the old cat and the reporting location - in fact, there may not be no other remote sensing satellites in the Mars orbit, relying on them can actually search for the Mars rover, but these satellites belong to different countries and institutions, use different data paths, and need authorization to use them, and now the earth suddenly disappeared, and these satellites were all invalid overnight.

Global positioning has never been easy, and if you want to pinpoint a signal source on the ground in orbit, then you need at least three satellites to do that, and it took the Americans decades to build GPS constellations in Earth orbit to be able to track targets on the ground in real time, and it is clear that there are no such things on Mars.

Without the support of the Earth, it is really difficult to move an inch on Mars.

Tang Yue raised his hand and wanted to scratch his head, but his hand was blocked by the mask.

The green light on the edge of the panel lit up, indicating that it was starting to work properly.

Tang Yue straightened up and looked around, thirty battery panels were neatly placed in the battery farm, not far away was the descent stage and garage of the Eagle spacecraft, and a hundred meters away was the small Kunlun Station, Tang Yue's world could be said to be very large or extremely small, and it was said that it was big because he was alone on Mars, and the entire planet was his, the world was vast, and he could go wherever he wanted.

said that it was small because Tang Yue would die wherever he went, he could only live in this small area around Kunlun Station, and in the case of no resources and supplies, all he had was such a world that was doomed to ruin and waste.

When Tang Yue set up the solar panels and returned to Kunlun Station, Mai Dong had already completed his first photo work, and within the 15-minute window, Mai Dong had taken a total of 1,500 photos, with an average field of view of 2,000 square meters per photo, and these 1,500 photos together covered an area of about three square kilometers.

"Tang Yue......" Mai Dong let out a sigh of relief, in just fifteen minutes, she was highly concentrated, her eyes didn't dare to blink, she was almost exhausted, "The first round of scanning has ended, and the image file is being transferred...... Eighty-six percent progress, eighty-seven percent of the progress, you pay attention to receive. ”

The girl leaned against the camera, smiling slightly, her hair sticking to her fair cheeks with sweat.

"How?" Mai Dong tilted his head.

"It's amazing, girl, you have helped a lot, you deserve to be a genius beautiful girl." Tang Yue unloaded the life support system of the Ming Guang Armor, "Thank you very much!" ”

Mai Dong numbered all the photographs, from one to fifteen hundred, and corresponded them to the map one by one, and the next time Mai Dong scanned them, he would continue to work on the progress of this round until the first part of the 30 square kilometers was completed.

The two of them immediately began to interpret the pictures.

But the interpretation of the picture is not easy, in the early spy satellite resolution accuracy is not high enough in the era, the identification of the photo needs a large number of interpretation experts, this is a highly specialized work, Tang Yue and Mai Dong are not professionals, do not know any skills, can only use the slowest and most primitive way, pixel by pixel carpet search.

The optical tracking system used by Mai Dong is not a professional ground observation equipment, the highest resolution is only five meters, and the photos taken are very low-definition, and all of them are black and white, so they cannot rely on color to find Martian stray dogs.

Tang Yue sat on a chair wrapped in a blanket and turned on the computer.

He made each image as large as possible, large enough to see pixels, and searched for the missing cat and the disappeared dog in a mosaic full of screens.

"Old cat...... Where the hell are you, old cat? Tang Yue stared at the screen tightly, his eyes widened, his eyes wandered over the picture, and he almost didn't get into the computer, "Old cat, old cat, old cat......"

Tang Yue clicked the mouse, and the photos passed by his eyes one by one.

On the other hand, Mai Dong didn't have time to rest, she took a breath and plunged headlong into the endless pictures.

There are more than a thousand photographs, each one of which looks exactly the same, full of gray-black fields and hills, and without the number, Mai Dong would not even be able to distinguish between them.

"Tang Yue! Look at this...... Is this a Martian stray dog? ”

"Hmm...... No, it's plagioclase. ”

"Tang Yue, what about this and this? I think this looks like! ”

"No, if you turn the picture around, it's just the shadow of the dunes."

"This?"

"Dune."

"This?"

"Sandbunker."

Every time Mai Dong came to Tang Yue with an image that might have a result, the latter was nervous and excited, and made a careful judgment, but every excitement would turn into disappointment, and every suspected object of the Mars rover would eventually be confirmed to be a rock or a shadow, Mai Dong and Tang Yue refused to miss any clues, they were so desperate to find the old cat, and almost every blurry pixel on the photo was recognized as a Martian stray dog.

In the blurry black-and-white photographs, the cascading sand dunes looked like undulating seas, and Tang Yue felt that he was looking for a dinghy in the middle of the sea, which might have been overturned by the waves and permanently sunk to the bottom.
