Die on Mars - Chapter 212

c212 Day 326 (3) Rescue failed

Tang Yue didn’t know where the old cat had stuffed the petri dish. It might even have poured out the bacteria in the petri dish, allowing these microorganisms to fend for themselves in the harsh Martian environment. Under normal circumstances, this would This behavior is considered environmental pollution, but no one cares about it now.

Whether those mutated bacilli can actually evolve into the Martian amoeba depends on fate.

“How long will it take for Tianzhou to arrive?” Tang Yue lay on the table, pressing the keyboard listlessly.

“One hundred and forty hours.” Old Cat replied, “In the past three days, you have asked this question a total of one hundred and sixty-seven times, and it was the one hundred and sixty-eighth time just now.”

“How long can the space station last?”

“I don’t know.” Old Cat replied, “It could be an hour, or it could be a hundred and fifty hours. You ask this question as many times as the last question.”

When Maidong was online, Tang Yue and Lao Mao never discussed the lifespan of the joint space station. One person and one cat seemed quite calm, playing cards when they should and talking nonsense when they should, as if they were confident that the Tianzhou 37 cargo spacecraft could arrive in time. arrive. 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. He was so anxious that he almost jumped on his feet, but he still had to pretend to be calm. Tang Yue was almost every few minutes. It is necessary to confirm the status of Tianzhou and the space station.

Tianzhou 37 is racing against time, but it is an immovable competitor.

The Tianzhou spacecraft must leave enough propellant for deceleration and landing. All other fuel is used by the old cat to accelerate. It has reached its limit and cannot go faster for even one second.

“Strictly speaking, whether the cargo spacecraft can save Miss Maidong is a certain outcome. There are no other variables.” Lao Mao said, “Because the arrival time of the Tianzhou spacecraft is certain, and the crash time of the space station is also certain. Yes, if the former is earlier than the latter, then we can save Miss Maidong, if the latter is earlier than the former…”

“Then it’s over, right?” Tang Yue spread his hands, “In the past three days, you have said this to me one hundred and sixty-seven times.”

“Because we are all essentially the same,” said the old cat.

“A repeater?”

“No.” Old Mao 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 prepare for the worst at the same time.”

“Rescue failed?”

Old Mao came over and pressed Tang Yue into the chair, “Yes, we have to plan in case the rescue fails. Tang Yue, you must think carefully about what happens if the United Space Station cannot hold on until the Tianzhou spacecraft arrives… …How do you face that fact?”

Tang Yue was stunned.

If the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft fails to arrive in time, the Joint Space Station will crash.

If the United Space Station crashes, Ophiopogon japonicus will die.

Maidong died, and he was the last person left in the universe.

“You gave me a difficult problem.” Tang Yue said dullly, “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 whole universe What can I do as the last human being? Stand in the middle of the desert and bow in all directions to thank all my ancestors for their blessings, which allowed me to successfully survive to the end?”

“I’m serious.”

“I’m also very serious.” Tang Yue scratched his head and sighed, “I won’t joke about this kind of thing, but do you know what the question you asked means? You are asking me if the world will be destroyed tomorrow. What should I do…what can I do?”

He turned the computer monitor slightly so that the old cat could see it.

The old cat raised his head and frowned.

“What is this? The historical documents you compiled? Or your mission log?”

On the monitor is an open document with dense handwriting.

“A story I wrote casually during my free time these past two days to pass the time.”

“Story?” Old Mao was a little curious. He didn’t know that Tang Yue had such a skill.

“The story is very short and the writing is poor, so you just have to read it… The plot is about a certain shipwreck. The cruise ship the male protagonist and female protagonist were on capsized and sank, and they were thrown upside down to the deep seabed. The female protagonist failed to escape in time and was trapped. She was trapped in a closed cabin under the water. Although she did not die on the spot, as the oxygen continued to be consumed, 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 was no As for other means of communicating with the outside world, she can only use her mobile phone to contact the male protagonist.”

“Can the heroine’s mobile phone that was soaked in sea water still be used?” asked the old cat.

“Because it is a domestically produced 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 he had escaped and contacted the rescue team, and the rescue team had arrived. , and asked her to tell him the surrounding environment and specific location where she was trapped, so that the rescue team could dive down to find the location and cut open the hull to rescue people.”

“Then what?”

“Because the situation was too chaotic when the ship sank, the girl didn’t remember where she was, so 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 It became more and more difficult to breathe, and the rescue team still couldn’t find the heroine’s location.” Tang Yue continued, “Later, the hero became angry and said that you were so stupid, with big breasts and no brains, so it was better to die under the water.”

“What was the final result?” Old Cat asked, “Was the girl successfully rescued?”

“In the end, the girl didn’t remember her location. By the time the rescue team cut open the hull to find her, it was too late.” Tang Yue said, “She was talking to the male protagonist on her mobile phone in the cabin. The more the two of them talked, the more they talked. The more oxygen she received, the more oxygen she received, and by the time the rescue team arrived, the girl had already suffocated to death.”

“Is this the end of the story?” Old Cat asked, “The girl is dead?”

“This is the ending of the story. The girl died. She really died under the water.” Tang Yue nodded.

In the end, the heroine drowned because the seawater filled the cabin. This result is reasonable, but as a story ending, Lao Mao felt that it was too bland.

“But this is just one of the endings.” Tang Yue said, “This story actually has another ending.”

“What kind of ending?”

“The female protagonist remembered her location and told the male protagonist the specific location of the cabin. The rescue team found her quickly and successfully rescued her. However, the girl did not find the male protagonist when she returned to the sea. When she asked the rescue team, the people on the rescue team were also surprised. They told the girl that they thought it was a man trapped under the sea.”

The old cat was silent for a few seconds and scratched his ears.

“Is there a third ending?”

“there is none left.”

“I think the first ending is more reasonable. If the cruise ship capsizes, the survival rate of the people trapped underwater will be very low because the rescue is too difficult.” The old cat straightened up and walked towards the airlock door. Most people don’t survive until help arrives.”

“Old cat.” Tang Yue called at its back.

“What’s wrong?”

“You asked me to prepare for the worst.” Tang Yue asked, “Have you already confirmed that the rescue will fail? You have already calculated the results but did not tell me?”

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

“no.”

It turned its head and said, “I told you, we lack the detailed orbital parameters of the Joint Space Station, and its current operation is completely unknown, so we cannot calculate its changes. Even I don’t know how long the space station will last. .”
