If it was in the past, Tang Yue would never have come up with such a ridiculous idea, the old cat is the nominal assistant and the actual stationmaster of the Kunlun station, and it can also be said to be the diplomat of the embassy of the earth civilization in Mars, it has worked hard in the Kunlun station for many years, has rich experience, hard work, and has made a wide range of friends, and has formed a deep friendship with the astronauts of the previous landing missions.

When on Earth, the old cat accompanied the American, British, Russian, and Chinese players to drink brandy, whiskey, vodka, Beijing Red Star Erguotou, and bragged about it, and it was a person who said that the old cat was righteous - anyway, the old cat could not absorb alcohol, and drinking was like drinking water, and everyone was "a good brother to go", and the young players did not know the depths, so they were defeated and poured under the table.

The old cat eloped with a Martian stray dog? Where can they go? You are the wind and I am the sand, lingering and walking the world, composing a moving cat and dog love song? But the Martian stray dog is just a tractor, who would elope with a tractor? While this last tractor is indeed priceless at the moment of the earth's disappearance, there is nothing to be gained from monopolizing stray dogs - property has lost its meaning at this time, and you can claim the whole universe as your own, if you wish.

Tang Yue never believed that the old cat would betray him, it was pointless to drive the Martian stray dog to leave Kunlun Station, Mars was just a dead and silent planet, everywhere he went was a wasteland, and it was a little lively to stay in Kunlun Station, and the old cat was a talkative, and the Martian stray dog couldn't accompany it to complain.

But the current situation makes Tang Yue have to think one more step, the old cat doesn't need oxygen, it doesn't need supplies, it only needs electricity, and it took away the solar panels, that is to say, it is fully capable of giving up the Kunlun station and surviving on Mars alone, if you want to say that the cat is really gone for some unknown reason, it makes sense logically.

"If I had known that, I should have gone with it."

Tang Yue was wrapped in a blanket and looked at the computer desktop in a daze, there was only a dim lamp lit in the hall, and the water vapor exhaled from his mouth and nose was churning in the light.

The computer desktop was still full of folders, each folder containing thousands of satellite images, but Tang Yue couldn't find it anymore, he was exhausted.

At the beginning, the old cat refused to let Tang Yue go with him, because it was too complicated to transform the life support system on the Martian stray dogs, Tang Yue had to eat, drink and breathe, if he walked with the old cat to carry a large amount of supplies, it would seriously slow down the speed of travel, so the old cat cut off all the burdens and traveled lightly.

Traveling light also means being isolated.

"If I had known that, I should have gone with it."

Tang Yue muttered and picked up the pen on the table, under the pen was a pile of scratch paper, on the white paper was dense numbers and formulas, the handwriting was like a chicken claw, obviously the masterpiece of the old cat. These are the drafts made by the old cat when the Eagle spacecraft was launched, Tang Yue put them away neatly, after all, wood pulp paper is also a precious non-renewable resource on Mars where birds don't, although they seem to be useless now, but maybe they can come in handy in the future.

Tang Yue opened the scratch paper one by one, and he couldn't understand the complicated calculations on the drawings, and the old cat told him that these were all about playing the piano to the cow.

Tang Yue suddenly felt that this world was very absurd, the huge earth had evaporated overnight, and he was huddled in a shack 100 million kilometers away, thinking about the whereabouts of a cat, really magical realism.

"If I had known that, I should have gone with it."

"Tang Yue!"

"I knew it was ......"

"Tang Yue! Don't repeat it! Mai Dong interrupted him, "Regret is useless now, we ...... Let's hurry up and find Mr. Cat. ”

"What if you find it?"

"If we find it, we'll find a way to get it back!"

"Rescued?" Tang Yue sneered and pointed to the Mingguang armor on the wall, "See it?" Without that, I would have been dead end, but it would only work for eight hours, and how far could I go without the rover for eight hours? ”

Mai Dong fell silent, she had been immersed in the work of picture recognition for the past few days, and had been deliberately avoiding this question...... Even if they found the old cat, Tang Yue had no way to rescue the latter, Mingguang Kai's extravehicular activity time was only eight hours at most, and Tang Yue's walking speed was as slow as that of an eighty-year-old man in a bloated extravehicular suit, even if it took four hours to go back and forth, Tang Yue couldn't walk eight kilometers at most.

Tang Yue couldn't solve the problem of oxygen and electricity during the long journey, not even food and fresh water, he could carry compressed biscuits on his back, but he couldn't open the mask and eat on the Martian wasteland.

If it can't come back in time, then the temperature control system can't be repaired, and the indoor temperature at Kunlun Station will always remain below zero, tomatoes will not be able to be planted, and Tang Yue's physical condition will deteriorate further.

Life is so difficult, but when you are at the end of your rope, fate shows you all its fangs.

The Matthew Effect says that the stronger the strong and the weaker the weaker, then the unlucky will be more unlucky.

"Unless we have the ability to tow the entire Kunlun Station away, we won't be able to save the old cat."

"Is there a way to do that?" Mai Dong asked, "Drag Kunlun Station away?" ”

"Give me a high-powered tractor and a big board truck, and I can tow Kunlun Station away." Tang Yue gestured, "Just like the nomads, the whole tent is built on a cart and pulled away by a tractor...... And of course, cranes. ”

This answer doesn't make any sense, and if they had tractors, carts and cranes, the situation wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Tang Yue sat quietly on the chair, the dim light cast irregular shadows on the wall, the bright light armor hung on the edge of the cabinet, the shadow was like a silent warrior, the air was full of buzzing sounds, it was the sound of the OGS cabinet and the exhaust fan running, it was rare to be so quiet in Kunlun Station, how to live in this small shack of seventy or eighty square meters, it was full of things everywhere, and it was bumpy when it turned around, and now when I looked at it, Kunlun Station suddenly became empty.

Speaking of which, there was only one person and one cat in Kunlun Station before, which was more than half less than the required six-person crew, and the reason why it was not deserted was probably because the old cat was too noisy, and it played the role of five people by itself.

"I'm a widow and lonely now." Tang Yue said faintly, standing up with his body bent, "From now on, I may have to live alone." ”

"You...... You still have me. ”

"yes, I still have you." Tang Yue sighed, didn't look back, shivered and got into the crew compartment, Mai Dong looked at his back, frost knotted on Tang Yue's hair, the latter seemed to have aged for ten years in an instant, giving birth to a head full of white hair.
