Die on Mars

Tang Yue hung his underwear to dry in the hall. The reason why he did this was because the water consumption was greatly restricted by the old cat. Tang Yue could no longer take a bath or wash clothes without restraint. In order to slow down his The rate of fermentation... Tang Yue decided to use the method of changing dirty clothes.

This method was practiced by Tang Yue in the boys' dormitory when he was in college. As long as you prepare two sets of clothes, wear them in rotation every day, and dry the other set while wearing one set, you can keep the two sets of clothes dry and clean for a long time. There is no need to wash. After four years of personal practice as an undergraduate, Tang Yue successfully proved that this method can delay the time of fermentation and maturity by 50%.

But at Kunlun Station, Tang Yue took this method one step further.

That is: don’t wear clothes if you don’t have to.

Anyway, no one can see it, and it doesn’t matter whether you are wearing it or not. Since you don’t wear clothes, you don’t have to wash them. This not only saves trouble, but also saves fresh water.

Tang Yue stood naked in the hall, with his hands on his hips. He suddenly felt that the wind was blowing on his balls and his balls were a little cold. Running naked really challenged his own shame as a human being. So he took out a tinfoil blanket used to keep the box warm and gave it to himself. Wrapped up, the hem of the fabric hangs down to the calf, making him look like an ancient Roman wearing a robe.

As she walked, her vacuum robe fluttered in the wind, revealing her two hairy legs, which were looming and extremely enchanting.

The old cat said he was a streaking man in a vacuum on Mars.

"Mr. Tang Yue? Mr. Tang Yue?" Maidong appeared on the screen, "Have you gotten up? Have you eaten... Yeah -!"

Tang Yue was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

The girl's face immediately turned red. She turned her face away and hesitated, "Clothes, Mr. Tang Yue, clothes!"

Tang Yue lowered his head, was startled, and pushed a small object that poked out into the blanket.

It seems that I will have to wear pants from now on.

Breakfast is a beef sandwich, a compressed biscuit, a measuring cylinder of orange juice, and a vitamin C tablet.

Beef sandwich is a vacuum-packed ready-to-eat food. It has been heat-stabilized and is rich in moisture. It does not need to be rehydrated. It can be eaten directly by heating it in a microwave or oven. Therefore, the shelf life is not long, no more than two years at most. Tang Yue This type of food must be eaten first to prevent it from spoiling later.

Orange juice is a granule, and almost all the drinks in space missions are granules. They are small packets of powders and granules that can be drunk with just a splash of water, a bit like instant coffee.

But its taste is hard to describe... Although people at the nutrition center have said that they have tried their best to improve the taste of the drinks, after all, they are products that will survive the long journey to Mars, so the shelf life is the top priority, Tang Yue Every time I say the orange juice tastes like plastic.

Tang Yue's daily food intake must provide him with at least 2,000 calories, otherwise he will not have enough physical strength to work.

Tang Yue put the sandwich on the plate, cut it with a knife, then inserted a piece into his mouth with a fork.

"Ophiopogon japonicus, have you had breakfast?"

"have eaten."

"What are you eating?" Tang Yue asked while chewing.

"Half a cookie and a glass of water."

Tang Yue laughed. He picked up a piece of beef and dangled it in front of Ophiopogon japonicus. He smiled very meanly, "Did you see it? Do you know what this is? Beef, do you want to eat it?"

Maidong swallowed silently.

The computer screen was placed on the workbench in front of Tang Yue, and Maidong was watching Tang Yue eat.

"Don't worry, you'll have something to eat soon." Tang Yue put down the knife and fork in his hand and turned the camera over so that Maidong could see the floor behind him. "Did you see those boxes? They are all prepared for you. Food, when I finish all the preparations here, I will send it to you, just hold on."

"Hmm, Mr. Tang Yue, please hurry up. I'm not in a hurry."

"How long can you last with the food over there?" Tang Yue asked, "Don't hold on."

"You can still eat it for five days." Maidong grabbed a biscuit from outside the camera's field of view and showed it to Tang Yue. "I still have a lot of biscuits here."

Tang Yue felt relieved a little.

Old Mao kicked Tang Yue's chair from behind, "Eat quickly, and go to work after eating!"

Tang Yue cursed in his heart that the old cat was really nothing. No matter how much the landlord exploited the long-term workers, he would never stop letting people eat. He obediently stuffed all the sandwiches into his mouth. Today was the second day he was trapped on Mars. There was still a lot of work that needed to be done. He had to go out and put all the solar panels in place first. Everything in Kunlun Station needed electricity. Electricity was the source of life. Tang Yue needed to keep the battery fully charged.

After installing the solar panels, he also needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Kunlun Station. If there are any safety hazards, they must be eliminated as soon as possible. This is also a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

In the end, Tang Yue had to deal with the Eagle spacecraft... He and Lao Mao had to ensure that the Eagle spacecraft was foolproof and could deliver supplies to Mars' low-Earth orbit (LMO) and successfully dock with the Joint Space Station. On Earth a few years ago, it could still be considered a major launch mission, requiring the cooperation of several countries to track and monitor the entire process from the launch center to optical radar to telemetry satellites. But now Tang Yuejia only has three people. .

And all this must be done as soon as possible, because Ophiopogon japonicus is short of food and cannot last long.

Tang Yue stood the plate up and licked the last bit of grease on it clean - now he didn't even need to wash the plate.

Save water.

He used the plate to shine on his face. It was so clean.

The plate is cleaner than the face.

Tang Yue patted his butt and stood up, picked out a pair of clean pants, put on his clothes, and then got into the Mingguang Armor cabin suit... Tang Yue had never tried to wear Mingguang Armor naked, and he thought it might be possible. Let a sharp object catch your balls.

Old Mao helped him zip up the zipper, and then put on the life support system. With a click, the buckles fit tightly and the air tightness was checked. There was no problem. Tang Yue pushed up the filter mask and tried to move his hands, feet and joints. Everything normal.

"Good Luck." Old Mao patted Tang Yue's mask gently and gave a thumbs up.

Tang Yue gave a thumbs up, paused for a moment, then turned around and waved to Maidong on the screen, showing a bright smile.

The girl floated in the space station, separated by a millimeter-thick screen glass and an orbital altitude of four hundred kilometers. She waved gently to Tang Yue and watched the man awkwardly open the airlock door.
