Sol Two Hundred and Eighty-Three, Zero

Tang Yue put on his clothes, got out of bed, and followed Tomcat into the Hab.

His mind was nearly blank.

The workstation had given a prediction. After days of constant observation and calculations, it had already narrowed down Comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai 1's landing point to a circle that measured 600 km × 600 km. It was a lot more precise than the massive ellipse that covered 6,000 kilometers.

Tomcat sat in the chair and turned the monitor around. It still showed the familiar map of Mars with a red circle over it. It covered an area in the northern hemisphere near the equator like a nuclear strike warning.

However, this was a lot more severe than a nuclear strike.

This circle represented the area where 5.2 trillion atomic bombs would explode simultaneously.

Tang Yue found his lips parched as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He turned around to pour himself a cup of water and downed it immediately.
