When Tang Yue opened the hatch of the Kunlun Station airlock alone and stepped onto the land of Mars, before he could express his feelings and boast.

 "This is just a small step for me, but a giant step for mankind", his assistant told him. The Earth exploded.

Tang Yue was devastated. He later estimated the time his brain was blank, and subjectively it was probably a few hours. All the brain cells in his brain stopped working. 

The current on the surface of nerves and synapses suddenly stopped, and all the cells, tissues, and organs in his body were petrified. In other words, he should have experienced brain death once.

Tang Yue threw all his work aside and turned around to check the computer system in Kunlun Station. The Earth was fine. Such a big Earth. How could it explode? 

Soon Tang Yue figured out what was going on. The computer was not wrong. It had indeed lost all contact with the Earth. The routine connection that was originally established every half an hour was suddenly interrupted. 

No matter how the background called or waited, there was no response. The computer decided to alarm.

It asked the assistant robot Lao Mao to notify Tang Yue.But when the phrase "lost contact" came into the mouth of a certain idiot robot, it became a terrifying sentence .

"Tang Yue, your hometown exploded."Tang Yue really wanted to kill this stupid assistant.

This is Kunlun Station, calling Jiuquan Center! 

This is Kunlun Station, calling Jiuquan Center! Can you hear me?

 Kunlun Station calling Jiuquan Center! Calling Jiuquan!

No response.This is Kunlun Station, calling Xichang Center!No response.

This is Kunlun Station, calling Baikonur!No response.

Calling Plesetsk!

Calling Houston!

Calling Kennedy!

Calling French Guiana!

Damn, calling Kenya!

 Calling Pakistan! 

Calling Afghanistan!

Tang Yue was sweating profusely.

He had tried all the means of communication.But all of them failed without exception.

Being alone on an alien planet and losing contact with the Earth was a terrible problem.If he couldn't get in touch again, he would be desperate - calling the Buddha and the Jade Emperor.

"You have been calling here stupidly for six hours. You and French Guiana have no contact mechanism at all. What's the point of calling them?" Assistant Lao Mao stood by, "Can't you see the big words on the screen?"A huge "NO SIGNAL" flashed on the computer screen."

How long is the delay in communication between Mars and Earth at this time?" Tang Yue asked.

"About fifteen minutes." Lao Mao replied.

Tang Yue's hands and feet were numb, and the airtight work clothes were not breathable, and the lining was soaked with sweat.He strictly checked the various systems of the workstation according to the emergency problem handling procedures.

 Tang Yue even took out the "System Maintenance Manual" which was as thick as a dictionary and compared it word by word.

"Your inability to contact the Earth obviously has nothing to do with the delay. The workstation computer has self-checked 10,000 times. There is no problem with the communication system. The problem can only be on the Earth." The old cat explained, "It's probably that the signal relay satellites are all offline."
