Chapter 55 Abandoned Base on Mars
The transport spacecraft does not have an exterior simulation function.
However, through surveillance, Jiang Chen can still see the outside world on the big screen in the main control room.
In front of you is a red planet, giving people an extremely desolate feeling.
The spacecraft quickly approached the planet and quickly entered the atmosphere.
The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than that of the Earth, and the atmosphere structure is completely different, making it unsuitable for the survival of any life.
"Don't be in a hurry to land, fly around first and look for a building that looks like a pyramid." Jiang Chen ordered, while putting on a thin mask.
In fact, with planet-level strength, there is no problem in being directly exposed to the atmosphere of Mars, at least there will be no impact in a short period of time.
But Jiang Chen doesn’t want to suffer. Anyway, wearing a mask with air filtration and purification functions is not troublesome. Why rely on strong physical fitness to resist?
Flying a small circle around the surface of Mars, Jarvis quickly found nine huge pyramid-shaped buildings, and flew over at Jiang Chen's signal.
The surface of each pyramid has long been in decay, but the overall structure is still intact.
The distribution of the pyramids seems irregular, but if you observe carefully, they seem to be faintly connected into one, as if nine small pyramids form an extremely huge 'super pyramid'.
Under the pyramid, you can still vaguely see a city with only a rough outline, and you can vaguely see roads, buildings, etc. that have not been completely ruined.
I don’t know how many years have passed, but this place has still not been completely destroyed by time. From the remaining wreckage, we can barely estimate what it looked like back then.
"Let's land in that city, send out the SCV and transport fleet, and look for the location of the warehouse." Jiang Chen pointed to an open space in the center of the city and ordered.
After a while, the spacecraft landed slowly, the hatch at the bottom opened, and groups of SCVs and transport convoys swarmed out and spread out in all directions to search for resources left in the city.
“Remember, this is a mine, and there should be a lot of metal minerals in the warehouse. I don’t know if a trip is enough, but I want to bring as much as possible back.”
Jiang Chen While giving the order, he released the [Magic Pattern Mecha] team from the space ring and ordered them to follow the protection and exploration team.
Although judging from the description in the original work, there is no danger here, Jiang Chen still chose to be cautious.
After all, the number of transport fleets and SCVs brought is not particularly large. If there are too many losses, the efficiency of transporting materials will be greatly reduced.
Each team has an SCV carrying advanced detection equipment that can search a large area, so it doesn't take too many teams to search the entire huge steel city.
Of course, how much you can take with you after you find the location where the supplies are stored is another matter.
Although what Jiang Chen brought was a transportation spacecraft, the transportation capacity was still limited.
The steel city under the nine pyramids was huge. Jiang Chen did not wait any longer and took two [Magic Pattern Mechas] to the nearest pyramid.
“It is said that this is an ‘energy tower’ built to imitate the technology of the mechanical family and can produce a large amount of energy in a special way.”
Jiang Chen looked at the pyramid in front of him and couldn't figure out how an 'energy tower' like this relied on to generate energy.
Nuclear energy? Solar energy? Or absorb the energy from inside the planet, from deep in the earth's core?
For a civilization or a force, energy is always crucial. Jiang Chen is also very interested in these energy towers and is ready to study them.
The city under the pyramid has long been dilapidated, but the energy tower has not completely stopped operating, and even some key locations still have defense capabilities.
However, after all, at least tens of thousands of years have passed, and many key modules have decayed and become dilapidated over time, losing most of their functions and failing to cause Jiang Chen much trouble. What troubled Jiang Chen the most was an isolation door that was hundreds of meters thick. It took Jiang Chen a lot of effort to open a passage.
Entering the energy tower, since there was no map, Jiang Chen searched for a long time before finding the control room.
"Fortunately, the optical brain can still be used. I hope the data inside is still there." Jiang Chen checked it, breathed a sigh of relief, opened the bracelet, and ordered: "Jarvis, connect to the optical brain Brain, trying to read data."
"Connecting, trying to break through the firewall..."
Jarvis's voice sounded.
More than two hours later, Jarvis spoke again: "The fire prevention procedure has been broken through, and the data copy has been completed. There is no record of this language, text, or database. If the full computing power of the spacecraft's brain is used, it is expected that It will take more than 72 hours to complete the cracking.”
The language and writing barriers were completely within Jiang Chen’s expectation.
Fortunately, any systematic language or text can be cracked as long as there are enough samples.
On Earth, many archaeological discoveries are made through computers to decipher ancient texts that have been lost for unknown ages.
The same method can be used for languages and words in the universe.
"Go back, first decipher these languages and translate the information." Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and returned to the spacecraft.
More than a day later, an exploration team sent back news that they had discovered a warehouse of 'black iron ore' and were transporting it back to the spacecraft.
Two days later, exploration teams discovered new warehouses one after another, including a warehouse that stored a large amount of 'Black Iron Essence'.
Xuanite is an A8-level metal. After forged into armor, it can resist planetary eighth-level attacks.
As for Xuantiejing, it is a B8 grade metal, and its strength can reach the eighth level of a star.
What's more important is that the 'extraordinary properties' contained in these materials can be transformed into other equally powerful materials through alchemy, but there will be a certain amount of loss.
With this batch of materials, Jiang Chen's confidence in building powerful war weapons and dealing with the golden-horned monster has increased.
It took a lot of time to transport these materials from the huge steel city.
However, during this time, Jarvis also used the brain on the spacecraft to complete the deciphering of the data obtained from the 'Energy Tower'.
“The spaceship is full, let’s return. These SCVs and transport teams will stay here and continue to search for resources in the city.”
Jiang Chen ordered: "Jarvis, you will control the spacecraft to return home. I will check the information on the energy tower first."
"Yes, master."
Jarvis started the spacecraft. Quickly break away from the Martian atmosphere and fly towards the earth.
As for Jiang Chen, he retrieved the information obtained from the energy tower and checked it carefully.
