At that moment, Mai Dong felt warm all around her, as if she was immersed in warm water, which reminded her of the sunlight on Earth, which has never been such on Mars, because it is much farther away from the Sun than Earth, and in most cases, when viewed from the orbit of Mars, the latter is just a glowing light bulb, with brightness but no heat.

Mai Dong leaned against the porthole, looking at the golden light in the darkness from afar.

She smiled suddenly.

The sunset finally set, and the majestic firelight fell into the black shadows, and the mountain-like shadows slowly rose in front of Mai Dong's eyes.

It swept slowly and silently over Mai Dong's head, like a sudden alien spaceship, and like a long blunt knife, wrapped in an irresistible force, swept over, cutting off the main truss of the space station, solar panels, inflatable cabins, super arms, and the fragments of the space station's shell tumbled and scattered, reflecting the red firelight, like flying snow on the fire.

It was clearly a violent and amazing collision, but in Mai Dong's eyes, it seemed to be a slow-motion movie shot, a silent film without sound, and it couldn't conduct sound in a vacuum, as if it couldn't transmit time, everything happened outside of time.

Time stretched out at this moment, the crash and vibration were still crawling slowly on the metal truss, the headphone paper and pen floating in the core cabin were still flying according to inertia, the snow-white shell fragments were still floating in the dark background, the girl stared at the flames bursting out in front of her in amazement, the tongue of fire swam along the gaps in the white bulkhead, drilling into it like a snake, the leaking oxidant was a deadly bait for them, the blue word "orion" withered and charred black in the flames—all this was only a window away from her, The girl's eyes showed loneliness and sadness.

It was a beautiful scene, like a crystal palace that collapsed in a fire, a vast and poignant death.

But she was so sad that she wanted to cry.

In the next second, the first loud noise and vibration came into the crystal cabin, which was caused by the breaking of the main truss, the first hit of the Orion spacecraft was it, the hull of the spacecraft cut off the space station like a knife, the broken part was the battery pack on the right side of the space station, a truss more than ten meters long with eight solar sail panels broke away from the space station, swirling farther and farther, and finally was swallowed by the dark void.

Everything in the core compartment was shaken, the instrument panel and control panel were detached from the bulkhead, the cables were torn off, and the tiny tears in the girl's eyes left the sockets and coalesced into spheres under the action of surface tension.

The crystalline droplet of water followed the inertia through the core module, through the messy cables, manuscript paper, and laptop, and was disturbed by the air current, and then turned tremblingly, and the breeze gave it a very small angular momentum, so it spun and flew towards the porthole.

Looking through it, everything around it was distorted, the light was refracted by the water droplets, and the flames that erupted again in the distance were just a bright ring on the teardrops, which expanded from one apex of the teardrop, and finally returned to another apex, until it shattered against the glass, and with a soft "snap", it cracked into countless small droplets.

They recoalesced into tiny spheres, like golden beads in the firelight.

Then an even greater force was transmitted into the core module, and even the metal trusses cracked in a tremor, and the bulkhead of the core module let out a sharp and dying wail.

Mai Dong's body retreated, slamming heavily into the hatch, his eyes blackened.

The whole world is spinning and tumbling.

She saw the leaking high-pressure water vapor condense in the vacuum cryotemperature, and they condensed into flakes of ice crystals that shimmered.

The space station could not withstand such an impact, and had already disintegrated, and a broken compartment tumbled through the window, and Mai Dong could not recognize which cabin it was, until it collided with the truss and was cut off by the waist.

Fragments of the incubator were scattered, and Mai Dong knew that it was the Hope cabin, and all the plants had frozen to death the moment the cabin lost pressure.

Once again, the core module was illuminated by a bright light.

Mai Dong saw the spacecraft propellant tank smashed on the inflatable compartment at the end of the space station, the propellant tank was very easy to distinguish, they were orange-yellow cylindrical large tanks, a total of four, installed on the Orion spacecraft, but at this moment Mai Dong only saw two tanks, the other two have disappeared, the only two remaining tanks dragged raging flames, crashed into the inflatable cabin, the inflatable compartment was flattened all of a sudden, the fire instantly intensified, and the leaked methane and liquid oxygen caused an explosion again.

It turned out that only the light of the explosion would be so bright.

Bright as the sun.

The whole world is burning.

Through the light of the explosion and the burning fire, Mai Dong saw that the Silence's multipurpose module was disconnected, and the half-broken battery sail cut through the shell of the Silence module. The Harmony's service module was punctured by a jumble of debris, a broken robotic arm plunged headlong into the Silence module, and a ruptured freshwater tank containing most of her survival supplies.

Almost all of the station's battery packs were cut off and turned into blue broken glass.

There are also countless parts and debris that wrap around the station, cutting and piercing through the station's shell at great speeds, and the station gradually falls apart.

Mai Dong's world is being destroyed, she stands in the center of the world, and everything around her is burning, falling, collapsing, burying each other.

The whole world is capsizing.

The explosion depleted Orion's last propellant, and it flew away after colliding with the inflatable capsule, dragging the last bit of residual fire, which was extinguished a few minutes later, and the funny thing is that the Eagle spacecraft was still hanging on it, and such a violent collision failed to knock it down, indicating that Mai Dong was indeed firmly tied.

The Orion spaceship disappeared without a trace.

Mai Dong couldn't hear anything, the roar of the explosion and impact made her lose her hearing, she kept ringing in her ears, her brain was buzzing, she couldn't see anything, the violent collision pushed the space station, the core module was spinning at high speed, if there was no additional force to counteract this moment, then it would spin forever, and wait until the oxidant leaking out the window was exhausted, all the flames were extinguished, and the world sank into darkness again.

She didn't know if the core module was losing pressure, that the station was falling, or even if she was still alive.

All the lights in the cabin were extinguished, the system had long since stopped working, there was not even an alarm, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The whole world has perished.

In Kunlun Station, the smiles of the old cat and Tang Yue were still fixed on their faces, and they were about to continue talking to Mai Dong about Tianzhou and landing.

A man and a cat faced the communication system in a daze.

It was all in just two minutes.

It took only two minutes from the time the system computer at the Kunlun station reminded "Warning: Contact is lost" to the screen that "the Mars Joint Space Station has crashed".
