An hour and a half later.

Mai Dong is in the process of the second out-of-cabin operation, and the task at this stage is to remove the control wires of the light sensor.

This is a very troublesome operation, Mai Dong first has to remove the two wires B3074 and B3075 that hinder the movement, and then remove the C1002 cable that is deeply broken, which is a small surgical operation that requires the use of screwdrivers, scissors and tweezers, but Mai Dong is wearing heavy equipment like an EOD suit, and her gloves are thicker than sausages.

"B3074 was successfully dismantled."

Mai Dong reported that she felt a bit like an EOD player, facing a pile of red, blue, and green wires inside the time bomb, holding scissors and not knowing which one to cut.

Mai Dong has watched so many film and television dramas, and the EOD player will always suddenly be inspired when the countdown is close to zero, either recalling his family, or recalling his comrades-in-arms, and then under the light of the protagonist's aura, he resolutely cut down in the nervous sight of the people who eat melons, and with a crisp click, the red LCD countdown suddenly stopped.

Later, the captain Wang told her that it was a TV series, and no one would care about the red line and blue line of real EOD, and there was no red line and blue line, all of which were pinched by the robot and thrown directly into the liquid nitrogen steel cylinder.

“OK！” The old cat nodded, he saw a circuit break prompt on the system computer of the space station, and the B3074 line was interrupted, "Miss Mai Dong, do you need to rest?" I see your heart is beating a little faster. ”

Mai Dong nodded, she was indeed a little tired, the out-of-cabin activity may not be anything to a strong man like Lao Wang, Lao Wang often stayed outside the cabin for six or seven hours, but the girl's physical strength was still difficult to eat, after the first extravehicular operation, Mai Dong ate something and rested until the sun rose again.

Mai Dong put the tools in his hand into the bag, and then floated in a vacuum to rest, weightless, up and down, standing and lying down.

She looked at Mars in the distance, and the brown-red world seemed to be close to her fingertips.

But it's so far away that it's like another world.

She and the space station are flying at high speed in an orbit of 400 kilometers above the earth, this distance is too close, Mai Dong can see the details on the surface of Mars with the naked eye, but this universe stipulates that she can only move in a circle around this planet, and the space station has been flying all her life, although it flies at a speed of up to three kilometers per second, it can no longer get close to Mars by a centimeter.

Gravity is a wall that Mai Dong may not be able to cross for the rest of his life.

"Ihidi Plain...... Mr. Cat, Tang Yue, I see the Ihidi Plain. ”

Mai Dong saw the small plain near the equator in the northern hemisphere of Mars, and it was easy to ignore it if she didn't intentionally look for it, she knew that the Kunlun station was on this plain, but the scientific research station was too small, beyond the limit of the girl's eyesight...... It's an amazing feeling, you know they're there, but you can't see them.

If you zoom them in with a high-powered microscope, then you will see Kunlun Station in turn, and then you will see the little people and cats in Kunlun Station.

Inexplicably, I have the feeling of looking at a miniature.

Mai Dong was surprised by her thoughts, and the microscope that popped into her head instead of a telescope showed that the concept in her mind was big rather than near. The girl subconsciously thinks of Mars as a huge individual, between living and non-living things, and Kunlun Station is just an extremely tiny vassal on this huge individual.

"Tang Yue, Mr. Cat, can you see me?" Mai Dong asked, "I'm on the same side as you at this time." ”

"The sun is too strong during the day to be seen." Tang Yue replied that due to the strong sunlight during the day, they could not see the space station in orbit on the surface of Mars.

"Even if you see it, you can't track it accurately, Miss Mai Dong, the trajectory you flew was too low, and the speed of movement on the celestial sphere was too fast." "If we want to keep tracking the space station, we need a high-precision equatorial mount." ”

"If only you could see me, it doesn't feel like you're facing each other through a camera or a computer screen."

Tang Yue's heart moved slightly.

Indeed, cameras and radios allow them to make video calls, but video calls are always separated by a layer of glass, which makes the Kunlun station and the space station feel like they are in two worlds.

But if he can see Mai Dong on the space station without any obstruction, his line of sight will connect the two worlds, and only after looking at each other from a distance of 400 kilometers can the two return to the same universe.

Mai Dong carefully put the screwdriver and wire into the bag and breathed a sigh of relief, "The B3075 has been successfully removed. ”

"Next is C1002, Mai Dong, you first observe the situation and see how to operate with the least effort, don't rush to do it." Tang Yue instructed, "How convenient is how to come." ”

Mai Dong pinched the long tweezers in his hand and asked the old cat to adjust the position of the mechanical arm slightly.

"Tang Yue, Mr. Cat, I saw it, but the screw is a little stuck ......" Mai Dong gritted his teeth and tried to remove the screw with a breath, but failed, "I may have to twist it first, otherwise it won't be easy to use, so I have to switch to pliers now, pliers...... The pliers are here. ”

"Take your time, take your time."

"This slit is too narrow for the pliers to get into, and I have to widen it a little bit, weird...... Is this rust? No, it's just the paint, the paint is peeling off. ”

Tang Yue and the old cat sat in Kunlun Station, staring at the monitor, Mai Dong's wheezing continued to rise and fall in the channel, obviously consuming a lot of physical strength, Mai Dong stopped and rested every time he operated for a while.

"I'm so tired, I never knew it would take so much energy to overhaul a space station." Mai Dong panted and stopped to rest again, "It's incredible that the captain can work like this for six hours. ”

"How can you compare with Lao Wang." Tang Yue shook his head, "A rough man like Lao Wang Lao Tang, with a body of tendon meat, often fights in the bathroom, and his physical exertion is greater than this, but he still enjoys it." ”

"Why are you fighting in the bathroom?" Mai Dong asked.

Tang Yue thought for a moment.

"It's usually because of a bar of soap."

After tossing for more than half an hour, Mai Dong finally successfully dismantled the C1002 line, and the mission out of the cabin at this stage was successfully completed, Mai Dong was also so tired that she was close to prostration, and she shook out more than a liter of sweat from the extravehicular suit after returning to the space station, and the whole person was soaked.

Returning to the core cabin, there was no time to say anything, and before they even put on the noise-canceling earplugs, Mai Dong fell asleep with Ah Q holding the pillow, and the sunlight was gradually moving away from them.

Tang Yue and Lao Mao in Kunlun Station were discussing the next step, and the dividing line between day and night was moving slowly on the surface of Mars.

Once again, the United Space Station flew into the far side of Mars.

Mars still orbits the Sun at a speed of twenty-four kilometers per second.

The solar system still revolves around the galactic heart at a speed of 250 kilometers per second.

The universe expands in silence.
