Die on Mars - Chapter 250

c248 Day 340 (1) If there is an afterlife, do something

“You are already a mature dog, you have to learn to climb out of the pit on your own.”

Tang Yue is good at tempting.

Stray dogs lay in pits, indifferent.

The old cat sat on the side, leaning his chin on the solar panel, with drooped eyebrows, tilting his head to watch Tang Yue’s performance, as if he was looking at an idiot.

“Playing the harp to the ox.”

Tang Yue sighed, stepped back and sat down.

“If Tang Sanzang didn’t have the white dragon horse, do you think he could go to the west to get the scriptures?” Tang Yue picked up a stone and threw it on the wheel, “One hundred and eight thousand miles, that is, fifty-four thousand kilometers. A trip around the equator is an extra 14,000 kilometers… The White Dragon Horse is worthy of being the son of the Dragon King. He is so good at swimming that he can cross the Pacific Ocean without any problem.”

“When are you going to push it out of the pit?”

“Hmm… eight hours later, or tomorrow morning. We can’t walk while charging anyway, so why not lie down and rest.” Tang Yue replied, “Today is another damn cloudy day, and the sun is too weak. I’m not sure when the battery will be fully charged.”

Unfortunately, the stray dog ​​from Mars got stuck in a pit again. Tang Yue finally realized for himself how difficult it is to drive cross-country without roads. Highways extend in all directions on the earth. Tang Yue was able to drive from Heihe to Medog, all the while driving. There was no need to get muddy, which gave Tang Yue the illusion that his trip was a self-driving trip.

But Mars is a primitive and wild planet that has never received any development. Tang Yue only realized that cars are special vehicles for roads after his buttocks on both sides were hurt. Ninety-nine vehicles will be defeated in the wilderness.

There are no major terrain undulations in the Ixidi Plain. In most cases, it is flat. However, long-distance running on the wasteland still causes alarming damage to the structure of the Mars rover. The designers limited the speed of the Mars Stray Dog to thirty yards. Tang Yue finally understood their good intentions – people on Earth must be able to make stray dogs fly to sixty or even one hundred and twenty yards, but they will definitely fall apart if they fly so fast on Mars.

Tang Yue and Lao Mao tried to push the car once, but the stray dog ​​remained motionless.

They had no choice but to stop to rest and recharge their batteries.

Wait until it is fully charged before pushing the rover out.

The old cat slid down the solar panel, and finally lay softly on the ground, like a salted fish.

“What is the meaning of cat life?”

“Mao Sheng means salted fish.”

The old cat asked and answered himself.

Tang Yue and Lao Mao finally got tired of the boring journey that lasted for years. What they saw and heard along the way was really lackluster. The performance of the Martian stray dogs limited them to a maximum of thirty kilometers a day, and the rest of the time could only be spent in the original place. They waited endlessly, and finally they got tired of singing all the songs they could sing, and finished all the nonsense they could talk about, from the origin of the universe to the end of the earth. Tang Yue even dug out Lao Zheng’s collection of heavy flavors and told him over and over again. After pulling out the corpse and whipping it, in the end even a cross talk master like Lao Mao couldn’t find any baggage to shake off, and all that was left was endless salted fish.

Tang Yue felt that he and Lao Mao could lie on the ground and jump to their destination bit by bit.

“What’s wrong with salted fish?” Old Mao said plausibly, “The universe is the most salty fish. For ninety-nine percent of the universe’s lifespan, it will be a dead salted fish.”

“Of course the salted fish is fine. My biggest dream in this life is to be a salted fish. Unfortunately, the pressure of life is too great and I don’t take it seriously. The salted fish in this world are all winners in life who are born with a golden key in their mouths.” Tang Yue turned over on the ground. On the other hand, since it is salted fish, it must be turned over frequently so that it can be evenly dried and marinated with delicious flavor.

“If there is an afterlife,

To be a fish.

pickled in salt,

No needless tears.

Half of it is so salty,

Half fade out big bird,

Put half of the pot into the pot to make soup.

Put half on the grill,

Very crazy and very peaceful,

Never worried, never troubled. ”

“I advise you not to roll around on the ground. The sand and gravel are very sharp and can easily scratch the Mingguang Armor.” Old Mao reminded, “If the airtight layer is damaged and the pressure is released, you will be finished.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Tang Yue shook his head, “The material of the Mingguang Armor is very strong and can’t be cut by a knife.”

“Have you ever had it cut?”

“I have tried it on Earth.” Tang Yue replied, “I am very impressed because the teachers at the center told us that this thing is as reliable as a bulletproof vest and cannot be cut by ordinary knives. If you don’t believe it, whoever is strong enough can do it. Try it, there are so many people present, but I am the only one who is stunned… Later, the teacher explained that the light armor is probably the most expensive piece of clothing you have ever worn in your life, and a set costs 15 million, which is equivalent to a house in Beijing.”

“Did you know?” Tang Yue pinched his thumb and index finger together and separated them slightly, “I was just that close to dying on the spot.”

The old cat clung to the ground, arched its body, and moved forward.

“Old cat, what are you doing?”

“I’m not a cat.” The old cat replied dully. He arched his body again and jumped forward, miraculously elongating his body several times. “I’m a birchworm.”

“Birchworm what are you doing?”

“The birchworm can’t talk.” The old cat muttered. “The birchworm just wants to go home.”

Tang Yue watched the old cat squirming on the ground, moving forward in the direction it came from.

He shook his head, stretched out his foot and stepped on the charging cable on the ground, and the cable suddenly straightened.

The old cat got into the mud and hit a dog to eat its shit.

“Meow!”

It breathes out the mother tongue.

Tang Yue stood up, walked over, and picked up the big furry cat. The old cat’s two short legs were kicking helplessly in mid-air, “Hey… what are you doing? Tang Yue, what are you doing? Put me down!” Put me down, do you hear me? Put me down!”

Tang Yue hugged the old cat back, lifted the old cat up with force, stuffed it into the cab of the Mars rover, and breathed, “You think I want to hug you? Damn it, you are really a cat Isn’t it a pig? Pigs are not as heavy as you…”

Then he plugged in the charging cable to the old cat.

“When we arrive at the destination, you can go home.” Tang Yue tiptoed and patted the old cat on the head, then turned and walked towards the battery panel not far away, “It will take up to three days, and you can go back after three days. There’s no need to worry… Although no one knows what will be waiting for us in three days, I think it probably won’t be a bad thing, after all, we can no longer be unlucky.”

“I’ll be gone when I get home in three days,” said the old cat.

“How could it be?” Tang Yue turned around and smiled at it, “Kunlun Station won’t be able to run away anymore. No matter when you go back, it will be there.”

Lao Mao put his face on the steering wheel and looked at Tang Yue’s back.

“But home is only where you are.”
