Tang Yue and the old cat crawled back to Kunlun Station and closed the outdoor hatch of the airlock, Tang Yue could be regarded as returning to the world...... He squeezed out the last bit of strength he had, locked the hatch, and fell headfirst to the floor.

The old cat dragged him back to the main station hall, then unloaded the life support system of the Mingguang armor and dragged Tang Yue out of the cabin suit.

Tang Yue collapsed on the floor, climbed two steps in the direction of the sink, and did not move.

The old cat didn't even have time to take off the cabin suit on his body, he walked to the sink in three steps and two steps, took a full cup of pure water with a glass, turned around and came back to help Tang Yue up, "Drink." ”

Tang Yue opened his eyes and smiled weakly, "So extravagant? Isn't it quantitative? ”

"Don't talk." The old cat handed the water cup to Tang Yue, "Drink it." ”

Tang Yue raised his head and drank all the water in the cup, a refreshing coolness flowed through the dry and smoking throat, through the esophagus and straight into the stomach, Tang Yue suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, he was rare to be so extravagant, and the old cat was also rare to be generous, Tang Yue sat on the floor against the table, gasping softly, his face was a little pale.

"How does it feel?" The old cat crouched in front of him.

"I don't feel very sick in my stomach, and I feel like throwing up." Tang Yue clutched his stomach.

"You're a little dehydrated, but you can't ingest a lot of fresh water in a short period of time, or you're at risk of water poisoning." The old cat got up, went to the sink and took a glass of water, and put it on the floor next to Tang Yue, "You have a good rest first, and if you are thirsty, drink this glass of water...... But don't drink too quickly. ”

"Can I get water poisoning if I drink too quickly?"

"No, it won't." The old cat shook his head, "But you might choke." ”

It turned around and found the plug of the power cord from the wall, plugged it in, and with a green glow, the old cat began to charge.

It was also busy all day today, braving a sandstorm of forty meters per second to deliver supplies back and forth five times, and losing its life in exchange for a person, but the old cat is the old cat, and it miraculously survived, not only survived, but also rescued Tang Yue by the way.

The old cat is also very tired - Tang Yue has always thought that the robot will not be tired, but the old cat is a robot that will shout tired, it will not only be tired, but also tired and panting, Tang Yue knows very well that the old cat's fluffy appearance is actually copper skin and iron bones, and the action depends on electricity and motors, not muscles and bones, can it be said that the motor will also be tired?

The old cat felt the warm current slowly entering his battery, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Tang Yue probed his brain curiously, "I've actually always wanted to know...... What exactly is the hole in the plug for you? Be...... It's a chrysanthemum ......."

The old cat casually picked up the plastic plate in his hand and slapped it on Tang Yue's face, blocking all the foul language behind him.

The old cat dragged a long cable and paced back and forth in the hall of Kunlun Station.

Now that the supplies have been delivered, the next step is the key point.

Launch.

It's a matter of success or failure.

"Can the wind speed be reduced to 30 meters per second?" Tang Yue asked.

"I don't know." The old cat shook his head, it glanced at the computer display, the anemometer showed that the outside wind speed at the moment was thirty-five meters per second, which was a lot lower than the previous forty meters wind speed, but the wind speed of thirty-five meters per second was also equivalent to a twelve-level typhoon, for a spacecraft that was about to take off, such a large crosswind may mean that the attitude was out of control.

The Eagle spacecraft is designed to withstand a super storm of fifty meters per second, but this is its limit, Tang Yue does not dare to gamble his luck with the performance limit of the lander, he only has such a baby spaceship, the baby spaceship is still full of baby supplies, if it is smashed, there will be nothing, although the desperate battle against the water is very heroic of the hero of the movie actor, but Tang Yue has recognized that he is a cannon fodder passerby, it doesn't matter if the protagonist dies, but the death of a passerby is really a dead end.

The old cat said that the ideal situation is 30 meters per second, they don't expect this storm to stop tomorrow, to be honest, the weather on Mars is not accurate, a sandstorm may pass in three or five days, or it may rage for several months, and the meritorious probe Opportunity died in the sandstorm.

I think about what kind of character was Opportunity back then, its life was extremely hard, hard and indestructible, and its design life was only ninety Martian days, but it lived tenaciously for more than 5,000 days before and after, and it exceeded its service sixty times, so that the old cats were convinced, saying that Opportunity was a legend in the robot world, a heroic predecessor like Zhang Sanfeng.

But Zhang Sanfeng also fell in the boundless sandstorm of Mars, and in the long dark night that lasted for several months, Opportunity ran out of the last trace of power and turned into a monument in the wasteland.

Tang Yue didn't know when the storm would pass, if the wind speed could be reduced to 30 meters per second tomorrow, then this would be a relatively safe launch environment, and Lao Mao would have a great chance that the Eagle spacecraft would successfully enter orbit and rendezvous and dock with the United Space Station.

"If the wind doesn't come down tomorrow." The old cat turned around and looked at Tang Yue, "Are you still going to launch?" ”

Tang Yue was stunned.

"You have to think clearly, there is only one Eagle spaceship, and you don't have a chance of trial and error." The old cat continued, "It's a gamble, life or death. ”

Tang Yue felt the pressure, a lot of pressure...... This is a gamble, but there are too many factors that can affect the outcome of this gamble, Tang Yue bet the Eagle spacecraft, the full tank of supplies and Mai Dong's life on the gambling table, and he is opposite the capricious weather on Mars, the sandstorm of more than 30 meters per second, the state of the Eagle spacecraft, and even the engineers who designed the lander on the earth.

Each one is a matter of life and death.

Mai Dong's supplies have been exhausted, she can't wait a day, the Eagle spacecraft must be launched tomorrow, but the most hellish thing is that Lao Mao and Tang Yue don't know if the weather can improve.

What if the wind can't go down?

Do you want to continue launching?

What if the launch fails? Not only was Mai Dong's life gone, but even the Eagle spaceship and the materials on it were also reimbursed.

Tang Yue pulled his hair fiercely, he fell into a dilemma, on the one hand, Mai Dong's situation forced him to let the lander take off as soon as possible, on the other hand, rashly launching the spacecraft could lead to failure, and if he didn't send it, he would die, and if he made a mistake, he would die.

"That girl's only chance is that we have to send a suitable spaceship at the right time and in the right state." Lao Mao said, "Every aspect can not be wrong, the right time and place are right, and it must be perfectly coordinated." ”

"Is this possible?" Tang Yue asked in a muttered voice.

"It's impossible, but it's possible." The old cat leaned back on the table and said leisurely, "In the past 100 years of mankind, every space mission has been a combination like this...... We put the right people into the right spacecraft, and then launch them at the right time and in the right conditions, even if it's just an ordinary ISS cargo mission, it's as precise as a clock. ”

Tang Yue was stunned, and subconsciously said, "It's great."

"Do you understand? We've always been here this way, looking for the only glimmer of possibility in the midst of the impossible, sometimes waiting for months and years, just for a 20-minute window. The old cat squatted down and patted Tang Yue's face, "Don't underestimate the tenacity of human beings, boy, no matter how difficult your situation is now, can you compare to Apollo 13 back then?" ”

"But...... There were only two of us. Tang Yue hesitated for two seconds, "Back then, Apollo 13 had experts from one country behind them. ”

"What's wrong with the two of them?" The old cat bared its teeth, and it poked Tang Yue's chest, "You can count you as a person, but you have to treat me as a hundred million people!" Have you rested? When you're rested, get me moving! I won't sleep tonight...... We're going to find the last hope buried in the impossible! ”
