Tang Yue was neither surprised nor surprised.

His mind went blank, and all his emotions had not yet come flooding back.

After seeing the computer monitor prompting "The Martian space station has crashed", the first thing Tang Yue did was to squat down and knock on the chassis of the workstation, he felt that this was a computer convulsion, because he was still chatting with Mai Dong two minutes ago, and the girl was still holding the stuffed dog and rolling while laughing, why did he tell himself that the space station had crashed as soon as the screen jumped?

Is this a whole season missing?

Or did someone pull the frame?

"Old cat, what's the wind pumping from this broken computer? Crashed again? Why is the contact also interrupted? Tang Yue squatted under the table and poked the chassis, turned his head, "Old cat, come and see ......"

He froze suddenly.

The old cat stood in place and didn't move, his eyes widened, staring at the monitor that was frantically popping up the alarm, the expression on his face was mixed with surprise, shock and incredulity, and the gray despair in the cat's eyes made Tang Yue's heart tremble.

"Old cat?"

The old cat remained motionless and silent.

"Old cat...... What happened to you? Come and take a look at this pumping computer...... Ha ha...... It's scaring people again...... Ha ......" The smile on Tang Yue's face gradually disappeared, and he suddenly became uneasy, "Old cat? ”

The old cat remained silent.

The workstation is still alarming like crazy, as if it has been infected with a virus, and the alarm window that has popped up in its generation has not been more than a day today.

Tang Yue's heart slowly sank.

"Old cat? Say something, old cat? ”

The old cat turned his face away.

Tang Yue didn't care about the old cat anymore, he got up and grabbed the headset violently, turned on the communication system, and called the joint space station on all channels, Tang Yue's hand trembled so badly that he pressed the wrong button several times in a row.

"This ...... This is the Kunlun station, call the United Space Station, call the United Space Station! Hear it, please answer! ”

"Call the United Space Station! Call Alpha! Call Alpha! Hear it, please answer! Mai Dong, can you hear me? Mai Dong! Mai Dong answered me! ”

"Mai Dong! Mai Dong! ”

The old cat sat down slowly, Tang Yue's anxious roar and the computer's sharp alarm were mixed together, but the former's efforts were doomed to be in vain, the "no signal" on the monitor flashed again and again, and the scarlet letters were extremely dazzling.

It suddenly understood what the impermanence of the world was, reality was sometimes more dramatic than drama, and it and Tang Yue were like the spectators who sat on the lawn of Cape Canaveral and watched the launch of the Challenger, excited, excited, jubilant, celebrating the launch of the great space shuttle, and even when the accident happened, no one realized what had happened.

Because tragedy only takes a second, and until that second comes, no one will believe that tragedy will actually come.

Tang Yue was still calling the space station hoarsely, and as the minutes and seconds passed, Tang Yue gradually realized what was happening, and he responded with a crying voice in his red eyes, and all he responded to was the mechanical "no signal" on the computer screen.

"Why can't you get in touch?" Tang Yue slammed the headphones on the table, "Why can't you get in touch?" ”

"Because the space station crashed."

"It can't be!" Tang Yue angrily grabbed the old cat's shoulder and hissed his throat, "Why did it crash when it was so good?" Two minutes ago it wasn't a problem at all! Two minutes ago it wasn't a problem at all! Two minutes ago! It's not a problem at all! ”

"It's not the space station that's the problem." The old cat's expression was gloomy, "It's Orion." ”

"Orion?" Tang Yue was stunned.

"There was an explosion of Orion's power module, which put it out of control, the docking mechanism broke, and the spacecraft collided with the space station." The old cat replied that it could deduce what was going on in orbit from the computer's alarms, and that the sensors on the space station sent the data to the Kunlun station before it stopped working, "The trusses of the Orion spacecraft shredded the space station like a knife." ”

According to the results of the old cat's recovery, the first explosion was the raptor-05 engine that performed the attitude adjustment work, which ignited the No. 3 propellant tank, and the leaked methane and liquid oxygen exacerbated the fire, engulfing the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks together, and the first explosion caused Orion to start tumbling, and twisted and broke the docking mechanism between it and the space station.

After losing control, Orion began to slide sideways by inertia, severing all obstacles along the way, including the space station's trusses, solar panels, and superbooms.

Orion's attitude changed after the collision with the space station, and its main truss also bent in the impact, and the spacecraft rolled around the center like a nunchuck, and plunged headlong into the station's inflatable bay, which caused a second explosion, in which the propellant tanks 1 and 2 were wiped out.

After that, the old cat doesn't know what happened, and at this point the station's computers stopped working, and the communication systems and sensors basically failed.

As a result, the computer of the Kunlun station judged that the space station had crashed based on the existing conditions.

"But why did Orion's engine explode?" Tang Yue roared, "Why did it explode?" Another fucking natural disaster? What kind of bullshit single-event effect is it? Is it the gravitational effect of the Earth's disappearance again? And where did an inexplicable celestial body come out? Have all the natural disasters in the universe fallen on me alone? Who did I recruit and who did I mess with? ”

Tang Yue was hysterical and out of breath.

He was angry and desperate, as if the whole world was working against him.

"It's not an act of God." The old cat replied, "It's a man-made disaster." ”

"Man-made disaster? Whose woe is it? ”

"Woe to me." The old cat lowered his head, "It's all my fault, Orion will have an accident because I tampered with Orion's flight control program...... I shouldn't have designed some pulse throttling program that repeatedly ignites the rocket and eventually causes turbo surge, in fact, it doesn't matter if this fuel is saved or not, it doesn't affect the final result, but I just want to show off my skills...... It was my arrogance and arrogance that led to this consequence, for which I am fully responsible. ”

In retrospect, the last straw that broke the camel's back was the circuit breaker gate that Mai Dong pulled down at that time, and after the sudden breaking, the engine turbine pump collapsed, and the debris broke through the pipes and combustion chamber.

Before, the girl was unsuccessful in shutting down the engine through the control system, and it was clear that the engine had already gone wrong at that time.

Tang Yue let go of the old cat, staggered back, and sat down on the chair.

He buried his face deep in his hands.

"You mean there's something wrong with your program?"

"Yes."

"So if Mai Dong really landed on the Orion II spacecraft, wouldn't she be certain to die?"

The old cat was silent for a few seconds.

"As far as it goes, yes."

"But our mock tests were all successful!"

"Mock tests don't say anything."

Tang Yue took a deep breath.

"If I could have noticed this problem earlier, if I could have written a more perfect control program, if I could have been more reliable......" The old cat whispered, "Tang Yue ...... I'm sorry. ”

The appearance of Tianzhou 37 not only stunned Tang Yue's mind, but also affected the judgment of the old cat.

"Don't talk to me......," Tang Yue said, "let me be quiet for a while, let me ...... Be quiet for a while. ”

Tang Yue wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry because the grief hadn't come yet.

Tang Yue wanted to cry early, so as not to cry later.

He looked at the monitor screen through the fingers of his hands, and from now on, no one appeared there, greeting him with a smile and saying hello Tang Yue.

Just kidding, right?

An hour ago, she was alive there.

Half an hour ago, she was there alive too.

Ten minutes ago, she was alive!

Why is it gone now?

What about the big one......

Tang Yue sat silently, staring at the headphones on the table in a daze, his heart was empty, and he said silently: Girl, say hello to me again, just one, one is enough, please girl, call my name again.

Tell me you're alive.

Tang Yue blinked his eyes vigorously, tears blurring his vision.

Please, girl.

Tang Yue...... Can you hear me? ”
