The 334th day (1) Goodbye, Kunlun Station

"The air tightness is intact and the internal pressure of the suit is 42kpa."

Tang Yue twisted the lock on his wrist, and with a slight "click" the gloves connected and the green light came on.

"The hut function is intact, the shoulder joint is normal, the elbow joint is normal, the wrist joint is normal, the lower limb joints are normal, and the lta function is intact."

"The life support system is normal, the liquid cooling is normal, and the average heat removal is 300in."

Tang Yue tapped on the control terminal on the back of his hand, and the diffraction images on the glass mask quickly switched. Tang Yue reported in turn.

"Battery remaining 97%."

"cca is normal, communication channel is normal."

Tang Yue stretched out his hand and pressed the unlock button of the airlock door. A subtle fan sound was heard, and the air pressure in the airlock began to rise, eventually reaching the same level as the Kunlun Station hall room.

The lock cylinder exited and the hatch slowly opened. Tang Yue turned around and took a long look at Kunlun Station.

The hall has been tidied up, and the workstation case is placed under the table. It has been turned off and unplugged. It has finally escaped the clutches of the old cat. From now on, no one will exploit it again. Computer monitors are placed back to back.

On the table, chairs are lined up against the wall. All paper materials have been put into drawers. The table is clean. Even the cups and clocks are arranged in a row. It's like a boys' dormitory facing a dormitory check during military training.

.

The ogs system is still on, but in the lowest power operating state. The old cat once was able to last for fifteen years. Tang Yue doesn't know if this is true, but as long as the ogs system is still running, then all the lives in Kunlun Station will be able to survive.

stay alive.

The plants sat high on the shelves. Tang Yue and Lao Mao made a simple dropper device with rubber pipes to draw fresh water from the water tank of Kunlun Station for irrigation, and filled it with all the soil and fertilizer.

With the addition of the petri dish, the living space of the tomato plants has been expanded.

Tang Yue's eyes swept over the leafy tomatoes, lingering on each one for a long time.

The strongest one is the eldest one.

Next to it is the second child.

There are also three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven.

Dad is going on a long trip this time.

You are going to a place far, far away and fighting a very difficult battle. You must take good care of yourselves.

Good.

"This is the Martian stray dog, received." The old cat's voice came from the earphones.

Tang Yue turned around and stepped into the airlock. The hatch closed suddenly behind him and locked with a click. He walked through the six-meter-long cylindrical cabin step by step, and finally pressed the button of the outer hatch.

The air in the cabin was quickly evacuated. The moment the cabin door opened, Tang Yue faced the oncoming Martian land:

"I'm out of the cabin and feeling fine."

The old cat has carried all the necessities onto the Mars Stray Dog. Today's Mars rover is really a Thomas the Tank Engine. The experimental cabin is pulled behind the front of the car. Food, oxygen and fresh water are now in the cabin. The experimental cabin is dragging the board behind it.

There are solar panels strapped to the car and the trolley. This is all the luggage of Tang Yue and Lao Mao.

The old cat was sitting in the cab checking the status of the Mars rover. The condition of the Mars stray dog ​​was really not normal. The entire front of the rover was smashed into a big pie, the frame was twisted, all the glass was shattered, and the cockpit now only has four seats.

In a ventilated shabby hut, the only thing that could still be used was the steering wheel and the accelerator and brake. Tang Yue had seen a farm tractor in a museum. His tractor smelled like dieselpunk from top to bottom. It was purely mechanical and did not have a piece of LCD glass.

Now the Martian stray dog ​​has become a veritable walking tractor.

The old cat stuffed the map under the center console, stuffed the letter into the light shield, then turned the steering wheel left and right, stepped on the accelerator and brake, and was suddenly startled.

What's in the passenger compartment?

The old cat took it out and found a wooden photo frame.

It smiled, leaned forward, propped up the photo frame, and carefully placed it on the center console of the Martian Stray Dog.

Tang Yue buried a mobile hard drive into a pit. This pit was the grave he had dug for himself. The hard drive contained a copy of the history of human development. The original was stored in Kunlun Station. He took advantage of the sun not rising yet.

At the last dawn, I built a tomb for the vanished human civilization. I shoveled the earth in the hazy early morning night, covering and burying the hard drive bit by bit, and finally inserted the shovel into the earth.

Mars is not the moon. Footprints on the moon can be preserved for hundreds of millions of years, but the wind and sand on Mars will change the landscape. I don’t know how long this small tomb can last, but if nothing happens, this shovel will belong to all mankind.

At the end, Tang Yue took a step back, stared at the long handle of the shovel, and gave a final salute.

"Tang Yue, the sun will rise soon." Old Cat reminded.

"I know."

Tang Yue walked around the Kunlun Station and patted the Chelome probe. The latter was still sitting on the sand, stretching out its solar panels. The indicator lights were flashing second by second, even though it was occupied by the gang.

Someone stole a temperature control chip, but it didn't seem to care at all. The Chelome watched the sun rise and set every day, like an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life.

"We're leaving. I'm sorry that I can't take you with me." Tang Yue stopped in front of Chelomei and said, "Say goodbye to us, and just flash by when you see us again."

Chelome's dim light flickered.

"Goodbye." Tang Yue stepped back and waved.

He passed by the garage. There were still piles of cans used to hold feces in the garage. Old Cat even arranged these neatly. Various tools were stored in boxes and hung on the walls. Tang Yue closed the garage door.

Go up and push the door bolt. Tang Yue embraced the descent stage of the Eagle spacecraft for the last time. It was this spacecraft that saved Maidong's life.

He goes out for a walk every day and often chats with the Eagle spacecraft.

The Eagle spacecraft is a good listener. No matter what you say, it never interrupts you.

Tang Yue finally stood in front of the main station gate of Kunlun Station.

For more than three hundred days and nights, this was his only home on Mars.

He has become accustomed to the days when he completes his routine work every day, comes back and lies stretched out on the chair, asking the old cat to pour him water. Sometimes the old cat will help him pour water, and sometimes he will sit motionless on the chair opposite.

, it will explode if you push it, while Ophiopogon japonicus disappears and disappears on the screen. You don’t know whether she is there or not. Sometimes she is not in the core cabin, and sometimes she is there, but she doesn’t want to appear in the camera’s field of view.

Tang Yue stretched out his hand, his palm touching the wall of Kunlun Station.

For the first time, he regretted that he had to wear heavy Mingguang armor and could only touch the Kunlun Station through several layers of airtight insulation materials. If he hadn't been wearing gloves, he might have been able to feel the smoothness, hardness and warmth of the Kunlun Station.

.

"We're leaving."

Tang Yue leaned his helmet against the outer wall of Kunlun Station and closed his eyes.

"We're leaving."

Behind him, the sun finally rose on the other side of the horizon. The golden sunlight crossed the mountains and desert in an instant, casting the shadow of Tang Yue's upper body on the outer wall of the main station.
Chapter completed!
