Mai Dong reached out her hand and drew an arc on the frosted glass porthole, which coincided with the distant horizon of Mars.
The altitude of the Joint Space Station had been dropping rapidly. Mai Dong did not know how many kilometers she had dropped, but she vaguely felt that Mars was getting closer. Some of the details on the surface of Mars were clearer than before. This could also be an illusion. At this altitude, Mars was always a huge, dark brown arc that was out of sight.
It was just a huge arc because it was difficult for her to take in the full view of the sphere. Mai Dong then realized that her altitude had indeed dropped significantly because the arc of the horizon was getting smaller and smaller. The huge sphere gradually spread out into a flat surface in front of her eyes.
The girl then drew a small person on the porthole glass and added a crooked smiley face to the small person.
"Tighten the screws, tighten it, tighten it. Kunlun Station doesn't have an acetylene torch... How troublesome. Look at the thin screws, they break easily."
In the communication channel, Tang Yue and Old Cat were working. They dismantled a folding bed in the crew cabin and transformed it into a stretcher. "Old Cat, are you tightening it?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll sit on it and take a look. This thing has to withstand at least 50 kilograms of weight..."
Following that, there was a crisp sound. After an instant of silence, Tang Yue's tragic cries drained all the air from his lungs in five seconds. Finally, all that was left was the sound of his breathing. It was so tragic that it left one's heart palpitating. Mai Dong found it hard to imagine what part of Tang Yue's body was injured to the point of him crying.
"Tang Yue, why are you in such a hurry?
There are still two screws that haven't been tightened. This steel pipe is loose... Forget it, Tang Yue, you should lie down on the bed and rest. Don't roll under the table, don't bite your knees, and don't hit your head against the wall. "Old Cat's voice rang out." Is it really that painful? "
"Hiss … You … don't … have … you … know nothing … Oh my god …"
Although Old Cat wanted Tang Yue to prepare for the worst, the man and cat still made preparations for Mai Dong's landing. Old Cat went out to check on the status of the Mars Wanderer and confirmed that the Mars Wanderer's battery was fully charged and could be activated at any time. Once there was a deviation in the landing position of the Tianzhou cargo spaceship, it would drive the Mars Wanderer out to save people.
On the other hand, they had already prepared a passenger cabin in Kunlun Station and gave the empty cabin to the girls. Tang Yue even zipped the cabin door and locked it. Old Cat planned a recovery plan based on the supplies on the cargo spaceship to ensure that Tang Yue and Mai Dong's nutritional intake would return to normal in the next two months.
"Tang Yue … are you okay?" Mai Dong asked.
"I'm okay, nothing serious … F * ck."
Tang Yue's breathing was weak, and his voice was weak. "We are making a stretcher for you. There is 0.38 G of gravity below. I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it."
"Where is the landing point of the Tianzhou spaceship?"
"If there are no accidents, it will be fifty meters in front of Kunlun Station," Tang Yue answered. "If there are any accidents, it will be fifty-one meters in front of Kunlun Station."
"It's a distance of fifty meters. I can walk there myself," Mai Dong said. "It's only 0.38 G."
"We have enough manpower. Why should we let you walk over?
Lie down properly when you need to. Don't stand on ceremony. "
Tang Yue continued to get up and turn the screws. "Girl, you have worked hard for so long. You should take a break, right?"
"You have worked harder."
"It doesn't matter to us. I'm a man. As for Old Cat … it's a male cat."
Tang Yue held the screwdriver in his mouth and took the wrench from Old Cat. He turned it around and used it as a hammer, hitting the steel pipe for a while.
"What era is this? Why do you still hold on to the old male chauvinism? Do you think it's natural for a man to be indomitable?
Don't you know that modern people like fair, clean, and gentle young men?
Especially girls. They like the kind of guy who slowly unscrews the bottle cap with them and says' what I'm unscrewing is not the bottle cap, but your heart 'while doing so. "
Old Cat said, "As for those mechanical dogs who are covered in engine oil and stinky sweat and knocked over an aircraft carrier with a hammer, their marriage certificates were taken together with Wrench."
"But none of them are left."
Tang Yue said, "I'm the only one who survived until now. It turns out that mechanical dogs have the most tenacious vitality."
"So your wedding photos will be taken together with Wrench."
"Impossible." Tang Yue sneered, "Why would I take a wedding photo with Wrench?
I don't like Wrench's appearance. Even if I want to take a photo, I will take it with someone who looks good, such as an electric screwdriver … "
"Take it with me," Mai Dong said suddenly.
Tang Yue and Old Cat were both stunned.
"Girl … what did you just say?"
"I said, if you want to take a wedding photo, Tang Yue, you can take it with me. Am I better looking than an electric screwdriver?"
The girl laughed softly, "Of course, if you think an electric screwdriver is more suitable, I don't have any opinion. But then I will be the last girl in the world to be dumped …"
"Miss Mai Dong, for your safety, please immediately take back what you just said. Your words are very dangerous, because it will open up a certain single dog's hunger mode that has been hidden for a long time."
Old Cat sternly warned, "This may cause uncontrollable dangerous consequences, which will pose a serious threat to your personal and psychological safety."
"That's too dangerous." Mai Dong laughed, "But I have already said it. What should I do?"
"I suggest that we immediately raise the alert level and adopt the red emergency plan. According to the 'Kunlun Station Passenger Safety Protection Regulations', Miss Mai Dong, as long as you authorize me now, as the station master, I will carry out harmless treatment for the potential threat Tang Yue …"
"What are you talking about?
Old Cat, what nonsense are you talking about? "
Tang Yue angrily hit the metal frame with the screwdriver in his hand, "What do you mean by opening up a certain single dog's hunger mode?
Am I that kind of person?
Let me tell you, Old Cat, I, Tang Yue, am a famous gentleman in the surrounding villages. I never spit on the ground, and I often help old ladies cross the road. When I find money, I immediately hand it to the police. Except for the elderly who have fallen in non-monitored areas, what good things have I not done? "
"I am a person with principles and a bottom line. Everything I do must be in line with my own values." Tang Yue continued, "Otherwise, wouldn't all my years of studying be in vain?"
Old Cat rolled his eyes. His meaning was obvious.
In front of Miss Mai Dong, all those years of studying might really be in vain. You only have the desire but not the guts.
Even if Mai Dong was really born, Tang Yue would not dare to do anything out of line. This had nothing to do with morality or personality, but a fatal problem related to survival. From the most rational point of view, under the current living conditions, Mai Dong and Tang Yue were destined to not be able to reproduce. Not only would they not be able to spread their bloodlines, but even the most basic reproduction could be fatal. Kunlun Station did not have enough medical facilities. If Mai Dong was really pregnant, then the most likely result would be two lives.
They could not have children. They did not dare to have children.
Even if they were born, they would not be able to survive.
Tang Yue was also very clear about this, so he really did not have any improper thoughts, nor did he dare to have any improper thoughts. As a gentleman, even Liu Xiahui could not compare to him.
They were never Adam and Eve, but the last two survivors on the road of no return.
"Tang Yue, you still haven't answered my question," Mai Dong said.
Tang Yue was stunned.
"What question?"
"Me or the electric screwdriver, which one looks better?" Mai Dong asked.
Tang Yue scratched his head. As someone who was determined to dedicate his life to the great mechanical and electrical industry, his answer at this time should be without hesitation — "You."
The electric screwdriver was nothing.
"How do you take a wedding photo?
Is it just a group photo?
Does taking a wedding photo mean you're married?
What kind of procedures do you need to go through?
Do you need to buy a ring? "
Tang Yue seemed calm as he lowered his voice and asked Old Cat. He knew nothing about this, "Do you need an ID card and a household register?
Do you need an ID card?
Do you need the approval of the Civil Affairs Bureau?
Where is the Civil Affairs Bureau now?
Does it have no legal effect without the Civil Affairs Bureau?
Does it not count if it has no legal effect?
And this, this, this, this, this, isn't the progress too fast? "
"If you think it's too fast, you can take a photo with me," Old Cat said. "I don't have any objections."
"Tang Yue, Mr. Cat," Mai Dong said softly.
"Yes?" Tang Yue and Old Cat looked up.
The girl looked out the window at the land and said in a leisurely tone,
"The space station's altitude has dropped again."
