MTL - The Science Fiction World of Xueba-Chapter 44 Mars log

The 371th Mars day.

This is the first time I write a log.

Watney suggested that if he felt too lonely, he would write a log to record his daily life.

I think you can try it.

I made two breakfasts in the morning before I realized Watney was gone. Although I knew he was still on the planet, I always felt empty.

For me, from the moment he left the Asidalia Plains pod, there was only me left on Mars, and I had to spend at least 1500 days and nights on this desolate and lonely planet.

曾经 I used to think I was ready for this kind of mentality.

But when this moment really came, I realized how uncomfortable this feeling was.

After Watney left yesterday, I sat outside the perch for a day and went back halfway to change the carbon dioxide filter.

Then went outside the cabin, watching this desolate world dazed.

返回 Returning to the habitat at night, I can feel Tian Mu's roaring drool through the computer screen.

Sorry, let me be willful for a day today.

After all, people are social animals, and loneliness is the natural enemy of human beings.

This is a word that a schoolgirl who studied philosophy once told me when I was in college.

I didn't quite understand it at that time, because I rejected her pursuit. I think that a person can have a good time with mathematics, and having a girlfriend can be a lot of trouble.

Now I find that I am wrong. Although I used to be accompanied by mathematics, I still have at least a mentor, classmates, friends and relatives, and I have maintained the most basic social relationship.

But there is only me on this planet.

Wattney's only friend is gone.

For me, Watney is a close friend of my life, a comrade in arms, and a brother who can give himself to the other side. I am the first time I have made such a friend.

I wish him all the best!

Uh ...

Day 378 of Mars.

It's been a week, and I'm gradually getting used to one's life on Mars.

沃 Without Watney, those lovely tomato vines and potato sprouts can solve the carbon dioxide that I breathe out. They even save me a lot of oxygen through photosynthesis.

I work every day to check the working status of various equipment, record the data of potatoes and tomatoes, weigh my weight, and then arrange my diet according to the dietitian's recipe.

Occasionally, Ares Command will arrange some simple scientific investigations for me.

In general, the workload is a lot larger than when Watney was there, but I have already exercised it. For more than a year, I have been living on Mars, and I feel that my hands-on ability has been greatly improved.

Watney didn't go well. In seven days, he only walked less than 400 kilometers. During the period, he got the wrong direction once and couldn't find the indicative landmark on the map.

I was okay, Wen Carter told me, and later Watney seemed to be aware of his mistake and re-corrected the course.

I wish him well.

Uh ...

Day 398 Mars.

Last night was another sandstorm. The wind speed was close to 100kph. Exit 1 where the gas explosion occurred was supported solely by the MDV parachute canvas. The strong wind blew me asleep all night, for fear that the parachute canvas did not stand the test.

Facts have proved that I think too much. This stuff is so sturdy, it's not under the carbon fiber canvas of the perch.

I spent a day outside during the day, cleaned up the sand and dust on the solar cells, and checked the status of the habitat.

The perch shelter is okay overall, no big problem.

数据 But the data shows that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells is gradually decreasing, which is an inevitable problem. Fortunately, Tian Mu said that there are many new solar panels in the supply tank.

I hope the supply mission goes well.

Uh ...

410 410th Mars day.

I heard two good news today. Watney is only 1,200 kilometers away from the Schiaparelli crater. If it goes well, he will reach the Schiaparelli crater in ten more days.

The second good news is that the second supply spacecraft was launched from the French Guiana Space Center by the Ariane 8 rocket. It will reach Mars on the 860th solar day and land on the Asidaria plain.

This batch of materials exceeds 20 tons. A soft landing will be carried out using a rocket engine to ensure that the materials are not damaged.

Not only contained a lot of food, they even packed a new living cabin with an area of ​​80 square meters.

That way I can expand my home.

Uh ...

The 448th Martian day.

Wotney arrived at the Schiaparelli Crater five days ago and found the MAV standing there for Ares IV.

But his test has just begun.

The speed and altitude at which Hermes cut into Mars' orbit exceeded the limits of the MAV, and Watney had to remove a lot of equipment from the MAV, even the portholes and fairings.

Alas, he will be in space on an open airship.

This is really a hearty adventure.

Fortunately, his protagonist halo is still there.

He succeeded.

Hermes teammates were very courageous, and successfully brought Watney in space back to Hermes.

At the same time, Hermes also successfully released the supply capsule of the 饕餮 cargo ship to Mars.

The Ares plan command is quite reliable. The supply tank fell on a desert 60 kilometers away from the perch, and it took me three days to drag it back.

The materials in the puppet were unexpectedly well preserved, and even the delicate oxygen zeolite molecular sieve material was intact.

Thanks to the flexible metamaterial aerogel of the supply tank.

舱 The cabin made of this material is thermally insulated, soft to the touch, but extremely strong and lightweight, making it an excellent material for making spacecraft.

According to the information I got from Tian Mukou, this flexible metamaterial aerogel will become one of the main structural materials for the next generation of spacecraft.

I hope that after my mission is completed, I have this stuff in my reward.

Watney finally left.

This time, I am the only human on Mars.

Uh ...

Day 468 of Mars.

The past twenty days have been extraordinarily busy, and the arrival of the supply ship happened to meet the fifth season of potato maturity.

I have to deal with the potato problem first.

Loquat germination, harvesting, fertile, frozen tillage, replanting.

With the cultivation of Watney and the blessing of my own racial talent, I became a qualified Martian farmer.

At the same time, I also repaired the oxygenator, and when the blades of the compressor of the oxygenator made a slight roar again, I was in tears.

I was this thing, almost letting me and Watney die on Mars.

Some time later, I replaced some parts of the equipment with supplies, and carried out large-scale maintenance of the berth ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Or, I patched some carbon fiber canvas materials of the berth that are at risk of aging.

The gluttonous and sufficient food supply finally allowed me to get rid of potato ketchup. Although the taste of aerospace food is still not good, my taste buds tell me that they are very happy.

Every member of the Hermes crew and Watney sent me emails during this period, and they apologized to me. They could n’t bring me home. I returned an email to each of them. Although I haven't seen anyone except Watney, I can feel their friendship.

Thank you, my comrades!

Uh ...

500th Martian day.

发现 I found that I became lazy, with enough food and sufficient supplies. I don't have to worry about the sudden coming of death, and I don't need to perform EVA tasks every day. This kind of life is too expensive.

But there are still two years before the launch of Ares 4 and there are a thousand Mars days before they pick me up.

I was really bored.

I decided to continue to study the ABC conjecture.

Fortunately, this world is also expected to have a new paper.

Unfortunately, no one can understand his thesis, and his generalized Tichmüller theory has not been verified.

ABC conjecture has become one of the seven major mathematical problems in this new generation of the world.

决定 I decided to study his paper. If I can find the errors in his paper, it will be enough for me to return to the top issue of real-world water.

委托 I asked Tian Mu to find his paper from the old paper pile, and then sent it to my computer.

I'm going to start researching.

This is a new starting point for my life on Mars.

good night!
