"I have to say that using the temperature difference between inside and outside to condense the moisture in the air is really a ghost idea."

"That's because the air system in the cockpit is completely technology that we can't understand!"

"But even if the water source is not a problem, the food carried by the target will not last long. The paper on the walls, if necessary, can be eaten after simple processing, but it still won't last more than three months."

"The relative position of Mars and Blue Star is not good right now, and even if the launch plan is ready, it will take almost two years to land on Mars."

In the closed base, dozens of top scholars in the Huaguo think tank were divided into six discussion groups to brainstorm, and the content topic was, of course, about Lu Yu's situation analysis.

"So why not try that system? Since the space jumping machine can be replaced, it seems that it is not difficult to create a little more food generating machine. ”

"According to the description of the goal, it is the so-called integration that is needed, and the integration is something that can only be obtained by promoting the development of science and technology on the blue star."

"Then why can't we let the target send back Mars image data, and then publish or solicit a group of professors in related majors in his name to research the results with the data provided by the target, so that the goal can be regarded as promoting the development of science, after all, astronomy is also an important scientific discipline!"

"This is a way of thinking, but the Martian environment has been continuously explored as early as the last century, and with the release of more and more data in recent years, it is unlikely that relying on image data alone will no longer have any effect on astronomy. The target is limited to the cockpit, and there is no suitable equipment to collect and analyze the Martian environment, which is not much better than the detection role that Zhurong can play. ”

At this point, the entire discussion group fell into a subtle silence.

In "The Martian", the protagonist needs at least a simple base, and Lu Yu can only stay in a narrow cockpit, and it is a little difficult to even stretch his feet, and there is really no space to perform sassy operations.

Slightly cold, the host who was sitting in the middle looked around for a week, and asked the middle-aged man who had not spoken: "Professor Han, you are one of the most authoritative professors of human psychology in China, why do you look so silent today?" ”

"All the professors expressed their professional opinions."

The middle-aged man named Professor Han sighed faintly and said, "I think everyone has misunderstood a premise, and everyone seems to have subconsciously ignored a possibility. ”

"Why don't you make a space jump again? Now that the target is in Mars, the lack of materials is difficult to support, and Blue Star is destined to not be able to rescue in time, which is completely a certain death. But just now a professor also said that he can last for about three months, and there are almost 720 opportunities for space jumps, and only jumping out of Mars may still have a chance to survive. ”

"Of course I know why, everybody knows why, but everybody doesn't want to say it."

"Well, I'll be the bad guy. It's nothing more than that the universe is so big, even if the target jumps in space, the probability of survival is extremely low. ”

"But if he can die on Mars, we'll be able to recover the space-jumping machine! And if he jumps in space and disappears into the vast universe, we will never get it again. ”

Professor Han bluntly spoke of the possibility that the discussion group had been avoiding, and everyone's eyes flickered as they stared at the psychology professor who was beginning to dissect human nature.

I saw Professor Han holding his glasses, sighed and said: "From the perspective of psychology, from the point of view of the target revealed a lot of information, he has given us great trust, and this trust is to let him get out of the predicament." ”

"But if over time, when the target easily realizes that we can't really help him, that trust will slowly begin to slip."

"And with the physical and mental effects of food shortages and long-term confined spaces, I think sooner or later the goal will be desperate, opening up space jumps to fight for the small possibility."

"Even for professionally trained personnel, in the face of this tormented and long-term chronic death, sooner or later, the desire to survive will overwhelm their sanity and seek the slim possibility of survival."

"It's not about reason, it's about our instinct as living beings."

"So why can't we give a pertinent suggestion, after making sure that the Mars images sent back don't give him points, let him choose whether to use space jumps to win a chance at life."

"This will not only keep his trust, but also maybe a silver lining in the future when his sanity collapses."

"After all, the decision on whether to start the space jump or not is never up to us, everything depends on his choice."

………………

Lu Yu, who had unknowingly come to Mars for the third day, felt depressed because of the long wait in the cramped cockpit.

And when he started dieting, except for the time when he first arrived in Mars, he ate half full at one time, and only ate two biscuits in the following time, and the low blood sugar caused by hunger would make people irritable.

The only consolation is that the mobile phone can at least surf the Internet, and reading novels and watching videos on Mars is the only means that Lu Yu can soothe his mood now.

After looking at the time, when it was time for the agreed communication, he first got up and pulled the wire tied to the corner of the bridge, and pulled back a flat plastic bottle from outside the light film, which was frozen ice cubes.

Place the bottle in a large severed bottle and let it condense the moisture in the air on its own.

Relying on these three days, Lu Yu used this method to collect more than 30 bottles of water, large and small, and he didn't have to worry about water at all in a short time.

After completing this step, Lu Yu opened the newly downloaded APP on his mobile phone, which was a mobile phone software developed with strong confidentiality and convenient for him to use.

Once opened, you can choose to communicate with text or interact with video.

"We have asked several astronomy professors to complete the corresponding papers in a hurry to complete the Mars images you photographed, and they have been published in the most authoritative scientific journals in China, and the foreign submissions are still under review."

"Did your system ....... get points?"

In order to reduce calorie expenditure, Lu Yu has been advised by experts countless times not to make unnecessary movements, and it is best to lie in his position and not move, so his answer is just to shake his head.

The beautiful girl on the other end of the video who poked Lu Yu's XP showed a lost expression, and seemed to feel sorry for him: "The professors suggested that you might as well consider whether to use space jumping and leave Mars to gain a chance when you still have some food to support. ”

"It's already ...... to stay on Mars"

A warm feeling of not living up to his trust flowed through his heart, and Lu Yu had already thought about whether to fight like this long before deciding to contact the official.

This encouragement made him hesitate, maybe it would be better to let the Silver Star be his legacy to mankind?

When humanity overcomes many technical problems leading to the sea of stars because of the Silver Star, maybe its name will be recorded in the history books one day, right?

But the desire to live is the only motivation for Lu Yu, who is now starving, to persevere.

The flash of self-sacrificing humanity can make Lu Yu great after death, but the beastly nature that longs to live may allow him to grasp the possibility of life continuation.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu rarely spoke: "Indeed, it's time to think about another method. ”

The two sides were silent for a while, and then he spoke again, "Can you please invite an astronomy professor to come?" ”

"No problem, please wait."

Lu Yu's current request, as long as it can be realized, can basically be satisfied, and yesterday he even received personal encouragement from the chief.

A gray-haired professor soon appeared in the video, and Lu Yu adjusted the angle of the phone's camera so that it could take pictures of the night sky outside: "Can you help me find out where the blue star is?" ”

At this time, the dawn of Mars is approaching, and there is already a ray of light on the horizon.

Lu Yu looked at the sky according to the explanation of the astronomy professor, the atmosphere of Mars was so thin that it had no sense of existence, and the pure black curtain of the sky was full of stars.

Soon he found the star that represented the blue star, and when viewed with the naked eye on Mars, it was so ordinary that it was no different from the stars in the sky.

For Lu Yu, a human being, it is so unique.

That's my home planet. My race, the cradle of the birth of my civilization.

"I want to go back to that star, let me go home!"

Lu Yu, who had been looking at the blue star for a long time, thought silently in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

"Dah."

Watching the star disappear into the brighter and brighter light, Lu Yu, who had made a decision, stretched out his hand and flipped the rod switch, ushering in the second space jump in his life.
