Tang Yue didn't know where the old cat stuffed the petri dish, it might even pour out the bacteria in the petri dish directly, and let these microorganisms fend for themselves in the harsh Martian environment, under normal circumstances, this behavior is considered environmental pollution, but now no one cares about this.

Whether those mutated bacilli can really evolve into Martian amoeba is up to fate.

"How long will it take for Tianzhou to arrive?" Tang Yue lay on the table, pressing the keyboard again and again, listless.

"One hundred and forty hours." The old cat replied, "In the last three days, you have asked this question a total of one hundred and sixty-seven times, and it was just one hundred and sixty-eight. ”

"How long will the space station last?"

"I don't know." The old cat replied, "It could be an hour, or it could be a hundred and fifty hours, and you can ask as much this question as the last." ”

When Mai Dong was online, Tang Yue and the old cat never discussed the life of the joint space station, and both one person and one cat seemed quite calm, they should play cards and cards, they should talk nonsense, as if they were confident, and decided that the Tianzhou 37 cargo spacecraft could arrive in time. But when the space station entered the no-signal area, Tang Yue's anxiety and uneasiness were revealed, he was actually an ant on a hot pot, so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, but he still had to pretend to be calm, Tang Yue had to confirm the status of Tianzhou and the space station almost every few minutes.

Tianzhou 37 is in a race against time, but this is a contestant who can't be rushed.

The spacecraft had to leave enough propellant to slow down and land, and all other fuel was used by the old cat to speed up, and it had reached its limit, unable to go even a second faster.

"Strictly speaking, whether the cargo ship can save Miss Mai Dong or not, this result is a certainty, and there are no other variables." The old cat said, "Because the arrival time of the Tianzhou spacecraft is certain, and the crash time of the space station is also certain, if the former is earlier than the latter, then we can save Miss Mai Dong, if the latter is earlier than the former......"

"That's the end of the game, isn't it?" Tang Yue spread his hands, "In the past three days, you have also said this sentence to me one hundred and sixty-seven times. ”

"Because we're all essentially the same." The old cat said.

"Repeater?"

"Nope." The old cat shook his head, "We are all looking for hope in a desperate situation...... But listen to me Tang Yue, we must have the greatest determination and confidence, and at the same time prepare for the worst. ”

"Rescue failed?"

The old cat came over and pressed Tang Yue into the chair, "Yes, we have to plan for the failure of the rescue, Tang Yue, you have to think about it, in case the United Space Station can't hold out to the moment when the Tianzhou spacecraft arrives...... How do you deal with this fact? ”

Tang Yue was stunned.

If the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft does not arrive in time, then the United Space Station will crash.

If the Joint Space Station crashes, Mai Dong will die.

Mai Dong is dead, and he is the last person left in the universe.

"You've got a problem for me." Tang Yue said sullenly, "Even if I don't face the facts, the facts will face me, the cruelest thing about reality is that you can't escape from it, as the last human in the universe, what can I do?" Standing in the middle of the desert and bowing in all directions, thanking all the ancestors for their blessings, I managed to survive to the end? ”

"I'm serious."

"I'm serious too." Tang Yue scratched his head and sighed, "I won't joke about this kind of thing, but do you know what that question you asked means?" You're asking me what I'm going to do if tomorrow the world is going to be destroyed...... What can I do? ”

He turned the computer monitor over a little and let the old cat see it.

The old cat looked up and frowned.

"What is this? Historical documents that you collated? Or your task log? ”

On the monitor is an open document, densely laden with handwriting.

"A story I've written in the past two days...... The plot of the story is a certain shipwreck, the cruise ship that the male and female protagonists were on capsized and sank, upside down in the deep seabed, the female protagonist failed to escape in time, and was trapped in a closed cabin underwater, although she did not die on the spot, but with the continuous consumption of oxygen, her life was in danger, and she could only survive for a few more hours at most. Tang Yue explained, "In the cabin filled with seawater, there is no other means of communication with the outside world, she can only use her mobile phone to contact the male protagonist." ”

"The heroine's mobile phone soaked in seawater can still be used?" The old cat asked.

"Because it is a domestic copycat waterproof machine, it can be used normally at the bottom of the Mariana Trench." Tang Yue said, "The girl got through the phone, and the male protagonist comforted her and said that she had escaped and contacted the rescue team, and the rescue team had arrived, asking her to tell him the trapped surroundings and specific location, so that the rescue team could dive down to find the location and cut open the hull to save people." ”

"And then?"

"Because the situation was too chaotic when the ship was sunk, and the girl didn't remember where she was, the two communicated over and over again, but no matter how they communicated, it didn't work, as time went by, the oxygen in the cabin became less and less, and the girl's breathing became more and more difficult, and the rescue team still failed to find the location of the heroine." Tang Yue continued, "Later, the male protagonist became angry, saying that you are so stupid, big-chested and brainless, it is better to die under the water." ”

"And in the end?" The old cat asked, "Has the girl been rescued?" ”

In the end, the girl didn't remember her location, and by the time the rescue team cut through the hull of the boat to find her, it was too late. Tang Yue said, "She used her mobile phone to talk to the male protagonist in the cabin, and the more they talked, the more oxygen was consumed, and by the time the rescue team arrived, the girl had already suffocated to death." ”

"This is the end of the story?" The old cat asked, "The girl is dead?" ”

"That's how the story ends, the girl died, she really died under the water." Tang Yue nodded, "But this is only one of the endings, there is another ending. ”

"What kind of ending?"

"The female owner remembered her location, and told the male owner the specific location of the cabin, and the rescue team quickly found her and successfully rescued her, but the girl did not find the male owner after returning to the sea, and when she asked the rescue team, the rescue team was also surprised, and they told the girl that they thought that it should be a man who was trapped under the seabed."

The old cat was silent for a few seconds.

"Is there a third ending?"

"Nope."

"I think the first ending is more reasonable, if the cruise ship capsizes, the survival rate of being trapped underwater is very low, because the rescue is too difficult." The old cat straightened up, and it walked to the hatch of the airlock chamber, "The vast majority of people don't hold out until the moment the rescue arrives. ”

"Old cat." Tang Yue shouted at its back.

"What's wrong?"

"You told me to prepare for the worst." Tang Yue asked, "Have you confirmed that the rescue will fail?" You calculated the results a long time ago and didn't tell me? ”

The old cat froze for a moment and shook his head.

"It's not."

It turned its head, "I told you, we don't have detailed orbital parameters for the Joint Space Station, we don't know anything about its current operation, so we can't calculate its movements, and even I don't know how long the station will last." ”
