Die on Mars - Chapter 194

c194 Day 322 (4) Electric Dog Saves the World

A very faint sound came from the headphones.

Tang Yue and Lao Mao both jumped suddenly and rushed over to grab the headphones.

“Tang Yue…Mr. Cat? Can you hear me?” The girl’s voice was weak and the signal was unstable, with bursts of electrical noise.

“Yes, yes, yes! We can hear Ophiopogon japonicus! We can hear it!” Tang Yue cried with joy, trembling with excitement. Both he and Lao Mao thought the space station must have crashed, “You, you, you, what’s the situation over there? How are you? Are you okay? How is the space station?”

Lao Mao was in position, entered the state, and began to stabilize the communication signal. It was obvious that the impact of Orion 2 almost destroyed the entire space station. The computer on the ground even concluded that the space station had completely crashed, but fortunately the core module of the Crystal and Orion 2 The spacecraft was not on the same plane. After losing control, Orion rolled and slid sideways, which was equivalent to passing directly above Ophiopogon japonicus, and the crystal capsule escaped.

“I…I’m okay…” Maidong’s voice was broken.

It had been a while since Maidong had regained consciousness. When she woke up, her vision was almost pitch black. The computer on the space station had shut down. The temperature inside the cabin was very low, and there was some lack of oxygen. There was a pungent smoke. It was probably because the life support system had also stopped working. There was no ventilation in the cabin, but fortunately there was no loss of pressure. The crystal cabin is the core and heaviest cabin of the space station. It has an all-metal inner shell and is very strong.

In the darkness, messy debris flew everywhere. Cables, pens, and computers collided with Maidong’s arms and forehead. She pushed aside the broken instrument panel floating in front of her, and fumbled to take out an emergency tool box from the bulkhead. A small flashlight.

With the light of this flashlight, she activated an independent backup communication system. This is a half-duplex dialogue system with very low power. It has its own independent battery, which is only as big as an ordinary mobile phone lithium battery. It does not rely on the space station for power supply. Under the current circumstances, it is the only possible means of contacting Kunlun Station.

“Miss Maidong, report on the situation of the space station.” The old cat’s voice was serious and low. It was its mistake that indirectly led to the current predicament. Now it must work hard to save the crisis.

“The cabin is dark…all systems have stopped working…the computer…the computer is not responding…”

“Can’t you make the signal more stable?” Tang Yue came over.

“It can’t be more stable.” Old Mao gritted his teeth. “This is a problem with the space station. The system is completely shut down. We have lost all control of the space station. Any instructions have no effect.”

“Mr. Cat…Cat…”

The communication signal is sometimes good or bad, and the noise can overwhelm the sound of Ophiopogon japonicus. The communication quality is extremely poor.

“Ophiopogon japonicus!”

“Miss Maidong!”

Tang Yue and Lao Mao roared at the same time.

“Mr. Cat… what should I do? I… should sizzle…” Maidong’s voice disappeared again.

“Damn it!” The old cat slapped his thigh angrily, “Miss Maidong! Can you hear me? Miss Maidong?”

The channel was noisy for a few seconds before Maidong’s voice reappeared.

“I can hear.”

“Listen, Miss Maidong, you need to restart the space station’s system computer now! The system computer must be restarted. Only when the computer resumes work can other subsystems return to normal. We need to access the space station’s computer to assess the damage to the space station.” Old The cat almost shouted into the microphone, fearing that Maidong couldn’t hear what he was saying, “Do you hear me clearly?”

“I understand, but how do I restart it?”

Both Lao Mao and Tang Yue were startled.

“Press and hold the reset button.”

“I know you need to press and hold the reset button, but… I can’t find where that button is.” Maidong held up a flashlight, and a thin white beam of light swept through the darkness. From time to time, strange shadows would appear from the beam of light. Drifting by, the girl seemed to be sitting on the bottom of the sea. The weak flashlight light could not reach very far in the dark water, and the irregular debris was the deep-sea fish that came and went, looking hideous and terrifying.

Maidong could no longer tell the difference between up, down, left, south, east, and west. The layout of the core cabin was completely destroyed in the accident. Almost all the control instruments were damaged in the violent impact. Maidong could find the original location of the control panel of the system computer. ——But now there was only a tangle of broken and knotted wires.

Both Lao Mao and Tang Yue were stunned.

This result is reasonable but beyond their expectation. For the crew on the joint space station, the terminal instrument is the only way to control such a complex system of the space station computer. One button corresponds to a subsystem, and the complex control logic is solved by engineers. They are hidden under the panel, and what is presented is clean, concise and clear. This is like Microsoft Windows to personal computers. If there is no graphical operation interface of the window system, then 99% of the users in the world will have to Being blinded by complex command lines.

This is the situation that Maidong is currently facing. The Windows system that even fools can use no longer exists. There is only a mess in front of her.

Maidong took a deep breath and coughed violently.

The oxygen content in the crystal cabin was getting lower and lower, and she had to take deep breaths to replenish the oxygen, but the air was filled with smoke. The more frequently she breathed, the more serious the smoke irritated the respiratory tract.

“Mr. Cat? Tang…Tang Yue?”

The old cat sat in front of the computer and stared.

If the system computer of the space station cannot be restarted, subsequent rescue and repair work cannot be carried out. It did not expect that it would be stuck at the first level.

The old cat is frantically thinking of a solution.

Maidong gasped in the channel, his cough became more and more serious, and his voice became weaker and weaker.

Damn it! The old cat clenched his fists. Is there really nothing he can do?

Find a way!

Come up with a solution quickly!

If you don’t think of a way out, it will be too late.

“Get out of the way!” Tang Yue held a large stack of draft paper in his arms, rushed over and kicked the old cat away. The latter sat on the chair, spinning around and sliding away far away. The old cat turned his head and was a little surprised, “Tang Leap? What are you doing…can you restart the computer?”

“Don’t forget what I do!” Tang Yue glanced at it with contempt, and slammed the blank draft paper on the table, “Mai Dong! Listen to my command from now on!”

“You’re just a mechanical and electrical engineer.” Old Mao said blankly. Tang Yue was neither a programmer nor a network engineer. He was basically a computer idiot. Can he handle this?

“Stop talking nonsense! What’s going on? Looking down on mechanical dogs and electric dogs? I don’t understand the working logic of the computer itself, but what do you think is the difference between its power control logic and the Volkswagen Passat?” Tang Yue put on his headphones and asked Holding a pen in his mouth, he spread out the blank paper on the table, “What should I do if the Passat stalls? What should I do if the space station loses power… Listen to me, girl, I will teach you a way to start it without pressing the button for a long time. Computer method!”

Tang Yue paused, this was his special skill.

“Jumper!”
