Chapter 268 "The Martian" (2)
After treating the wound, Xia Yu lay on the chair and cursed: "Fuck!"
This sentence was not deleted.
Astronauts have to write space logs. Xia Yu began to tell the camera about her experiences and the current situation:
"I can't contact the space agency now. Even if I can, it will take four years for a new spacecraft to pick me up."
"My current living cabin is set to last for 31 days. If the oxygen machine breaks down, I will suffocate. If the water dispenser breaks, I will die of thirst. If the living cabin is damaged, my internal organs will burst. If there is
Miraculously, none of this happened and I would have run out of food, so... um... um..."
Xia Yu leaned on the chair and stopped talking.
At night, the storm outside still did not stop, Xia Yu sat alone in bed wrapped in a blanket and was in a daze.
He stood up and took inventory of the supplies in the cabin, and counted all the team members' supplies together. After thinking about it, he immediately became determined: "I can't die here!"
The next day, Xia Yu continued to count inventory materials while eating.
And he found potatoes in the locker, and suddenly he got an idea.
Quickly turn on your computer and record your thoughts:
"I calculated that our surface mission is expected to last 31 Martian days. Just in case, the space agency has prepared food for us for 68 days, which is enough for 6 people. So if I eat alone, I can eat for 300 days.
.If I save a little, I can last about 400 days. So, I have to find a way to grow three years of food on this barren planet."
"Fortunately, I am an agriculturist and a Chinese." Xia Yu said with a smile, "We Chinese always want to plant something when we get a piece of land."
As he spoke, he picked up the potatoes he found and showed them to the camera: "I found the potatoes. Just look at them. Mars will be afraid of the power of farmers."
The sci-fi blockbuster suddenly changed its style of painting and switched to farming, which surprised the audience.
Afterwards, Xia Yu began to make preparations, going out to organize equipment, digging Martian soil, and sorting vacuum-packed feces to make fertilizer.
We have soil and fertilizer, but lack of water. We can't use our precious little drinking water.
Then he came up with the idea of using the useless hydrazine in the aircraft. Adding iridium catalyst to hydrazine will produce hydrogen and nitrogen, and hydrogen and nitrogen can produce water.
In the middle, he also joked: "In the history of mankind, igniting hydrogen does not seem to have any serious consequences."
As a result, during the process of igniting hydrogen to generate water, Xia Yu happily yelled: "Roar!" as she saw the fire burning.
boom!
The hydrogen gas exploded and blew him away.
"Yes, I was blown away. I was only thinking about igniting hydrogen to make water, but I forgot to include the oxygen I exhaled. When I recover, I will go back to work."
In the days that followed, Xia Yu learned her lesson, put on a mask for experiments, and finally succeeded in creating water.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the first potato seedling finally grew in the potato greenhouse.
Back on Earth, the camera shows Xia Yu's wife (guest star Yuan Quan). Her tears have dried up and she is begging Zunlong and Director Chen to use satellites to search for Mars again to see if they can find it.
Husband's body.
Chen Daoming said: "The corpses of the army have been buried in the Martian sand. We..."
"Please, try again, search again for the last time, you will die to see the corpse!"
This part was added by Cheng Yuan himself. He deleted the original scene in which the person in charge of the Mars project wanted to use the satellite but was rejected by the space director, causing a dispute, and he did not hold a memorial service for Xia Yu.
Chen Daoming and Zunlong couldn't resist Yuan Quan's plea and agreed to find her again on Mars.
Next, the satellite correspondent played by Yang Rong appeared.
During her routine review of the logs, she discovered that the two photos returned by the satellite were significantly different.
The equipment at the Mars base has been moved!
She immediately reported the situation to Director Chen and Zun Long.
"sure?"
"One hundred percent sure, the solar panels were cleaned and the rover was moved."
"That is to say..." Zunlong was a little afraid to continue.
"He is still alive." Chen Daoming took over.
Yuan Quan on the side couldn't help it anymore, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
The space agency carefully verified for another week and finally confirmed that Xia Yu was still alive!
The space agency immediately announced the news and stated that it would rescue the person safely at all costs.
The whole country rejoices!
This news has not yet been notified to the members of the Mars team on the way back, for fear that they may have mental problems.
The space agency immediately began preparing a space rescue plan.
On the other side of Mars, the uninformed Xia Yu thought he would be rescued four years later, and he had to rush to the location where the spacecraft would land four years later.
But the distance is too far, and the rover cannot load so much fuel at once.
He tried again and again, and even turned off the rover's heating equipment for the sake of battery life.
It was more than ten degrees below zero on Mars at night, and his eggs were frozen to death.
Fail again and again, start over again.
Xia Yu never gave up hope, and his optimism infected most of the audience present.
At the same time, the space agency observed his movement and determined that he was rushing to the landing site of the spacecraft four years later.
The space agency stepped up preparations for the rescue plan, and Xia Yu, who was far away on Mars, also contacted the ground command center for the first time through equipment from decades ago.
Although it took 32 minutes for a message to go back and forth, we finally got in touch.
The suppressed emotions were finally expressed. Xia Yu raised her hammer and shouted to the sky!
Xia Yu successfully contacted the command center, which undoubtedly gave everyone great confidence. The Director of Aerospace announced the good news:
"We have contacted Li Jun, and the new rescue plan is also being advanced. We will definitely bring our hero home safely."
Media around the world are paying attention to this matter, and several major space powers have also expressed their own opinions. Most people think that this Mars rescue plan is impossible to succeed.
There has never been such a precedent in the history of human aviation.
Some people even find it difficult to understand why they spend so much energy to save a person who the whole world thinks is dead.
A foreign reporter asked this question at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The spokesperson’s answer was:
"This is not a diplomatic issue, next question."
At the same time, the Mars team, which was returning home, was also officially notified that Li Jun was still alive.
This made all members of the team feel guilty.
"He's still alive."
"I gave up on him." Captain Liu Yang fell into deep self-blame.
"Don't say that," other team members comforted, "We gave up on him."
"I am the captain, you are just following orders. I left him behind."
The remaining four team members were silent. This news hit them too hard.
…………
The ground is preparing for rescue, Xia Yu on Mars has made contact with the ground, and everything is developing for the better.
But if everything went so smoothly, it wouldn't be called a movie.
An explosion occurred in the Mars potato greenhouse. The man was fine, but all the potatoes he had managed to grow were destroyed, and conditions did not allow him to plant another crop.
Xia Yu had to pack everything up and take stock of the harvest.
On the ground, the new supply rocket failed to launch because it was mounted too quickly!
The audience's hearts were suddenly touched!
Chapter completed!
