Bab 22: Sol Four, 21st Century Famine

There was a crate by Tang Yue's feet, one that he was about to deliver… Tang Yue grunted as he busied himself all day, finally moving the first crate to the foot of the Eagle.

But he was now facing a problem.

Tang Yue looked up at the lander. The package was at his feet, but the delivery vehicle was more than ten meters above him. How was he to send the crate up?

Under normal circumstances, moving goods into the Eagle required the combined efforts of at least three people. One person was to control the capstan and crane, another was responsible for securing the crate on the ground, and the third person was to cling onto the crate as it was hoisted up.

But Tang Yue was all alone now. He had to do the job of three people.

Tang Yue lowered the accommodation ladder.

Tomcat came down along with it.

The man and cat exchanged looks for a few seconds.

"Why did you come down? Aren't you inspecting the engine?" Tang Yue asked.
