Chapter 1088 Limitations of Minerals
An expert who seemed to have just reached middle age looked at the satellite orbiting Mars belonging to Candy Technology and said with emotion:
“In just a dozen years In just 2 years, Candy Technology has grown into a dominant entity. It is the private enterprise with the shortest rise and fastest growth rate that I have ever seen. No, even state-owned enterprises do not have such an astonishing rise rate.”
Everyone was silent when they heard the words.
The scientific research team of Candy Technology performed too well, which once put these national scientific researchers in a very embarrassing situation.
Who would have thought that a company that made its fortune by relying on algorithms would develop to the point where it could produce spaceships without saying a word.
During this one-month voyage, except for a few core areas that were not open to them, all other areas within the spacecraft were free to enter and exit freely.
It is precisely because of one month of actual experience and understanding that they know that the Hope spacecraft is far more advanced than everyone imagined.
If we rate the Hope and the Advance, which left Blue Star a year ago, the Advance will only get a passing score at most, while the Hope, based on the current level of science and technology and imagination of mankind, is already almost perfect.
Each functional room is an independent escape system. Such a wonderful design is not something that others would not think of, but it will be rejected immediately by oneself.
Why? Because it is unrealistic, as an escape system, it is difficult to meet the most basic conditions.
Not to mention that when various countries jointly manufactured the Advance, it already exceeded the budget. If this wonderful design is added, the cost will probably reach a level that prohibits all countries.
Candy Technology has succeeded in such a manufacturing that is impossible to complete at this stage.
“Let’s have a meal, and we will apply for the space shuttle to enter Mars.”
“Teacher, can’t we leave now? Didn’t we just have dinner more than two hours ago? ”
The middle-aged man stopped and turned to look at his doctoral student seriously.
"In the universe, dangers are everywhere. I emphasized this to you again and again before signing up. If it weren't for the fact that you already have a child, I would never agree to it. Aboard the Hope spaceship."
After that, the middle-aged professor turned and left without saying anything more.
The doctoral student stood there confused. He was still confused. He didn't know what the teacher said had to do with going to eat now.
At this time, someone patted his shoulder and comforted him in a gentle tone:
"Teacher You wants to tell you that when we leave the Hope spacecraft, our lives are in danger at any time. If we are not careful, we may become heroic. Even if we die, we cannot be starving ghosts. What do you think?"
The speaker smiled again and patted his shoulder, and went straight to the canteen with the others.
Those who were also puzzled all walked towards the canteen with heavy hearts.
When they came to the canteen, everyone found that today’s menu was much richer than usual.
Four dishes and one soup, as well as fruit and yogurt.
For a time, the atmosphere in the cafeteria was quite solemn, and there was an atmosphere that would never come back.
Mars, the red planet, seems to reveal its former prosperity in its faded landscape.
Steam and dust swirl in the lower altitude areas, forming a vague layer of mist, giving people a faint and dreamy feeling.
The surface is rugged, monotonous and boring, seemingly endless, but the color of the sand is extremely bright, which seems to attract people's attention. Yellow stones are scattered on the ground in various directions, some upright, some lurking, they can be seen everywhere.
In the corner, a ravine wraps around everything, extending from the top to the bottom of the valley, clearly depicting the traces of time here. Large craters protrude from the ground, and the depressions are lined with heavy shadows. On this novel and unique planet, there is a hint of coolness passing by from time to time, giving people a different feeling.
Its breath attracts people's curiosity, and humans may be able to find new life here.
Mars is ruthless and mysterious, and we don’t know what kind of future it will bring to people.
Suddenly! A space shuttle with a candy pattern carved through it passed through the thin Martian atmosphere, "poking" a hole in the already thin atmosphere that was just the size of the space shuttle.
Just as the hole was slowly healing, another space shuttle of the same model passed through the hole almost exactly, chasing the previous space shuttle.
From the time the two space shuttles left the Hope spacecraft, on the Blue Star, the National Space Administration and Mo Jingchun were following the scientific research team's situation in real time through quantum communication.
In order to avoid a very unlikely wave of annihilation, a space shuttle was originally enough to transport all experts to the surface of Mars. For safety reasons, to nip the possibility of annihilation in the cradle, Mo Jingchun directly asked Ling to take the Two space shuttles came out.
Thanks to advanced quantum communication technology, the video signal transmitted back from Mars is very stable, and the video picture is smooth and ultra-clear.
In the holographic projection in front of Mo Jingchun's eyes, two flashing light spots were moving rapidly. They were the two space shuttles performing missions on Mars.
"Ship No. 1 will land in ten seconds!"
The artificial intelligence from Space Shuttle No. 1 scanned the area where it can land, and through calculation, began a vertical landing.
With a sense of frustration, the stone weighing on the hearts of the people inside the space shuttle finally fell to the ground temporarily.
People are so insecure when they are not down to earth.
"Unit No. 1 landed safely and is waiting for the next instruction."
One minute later, in an open area three kilometers away from Unit No. 1, Unit No. 2 was also safe and stable. landed on the surface of Mars.
Internationally, many scientists believe that Mars is the most likely planet besides blue stars to have life.
However, looking at the real-time images transmitted back in front of him, Mo Jingchun didn't think there was life above.
Desolation, in addition to desolation, is still desolation.
How can we survive in such an environment unless it is silicon-based life?
The possibility that silicon-based life can exist is infinitely close to zero, because there are no traces of unnatural activities on Mars.
Unlike these scientists who are exploring the possibility of life, Mo Jingchun is more concerned about the minerals rich in Mars.
With the development of science and technology, human beings not only need huge amounts of energy, but also need huge quantities of materials.
The energy problem has been solved thanks to the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology, which has solved the problem of lack of energy at this stage.
However, building spacecraft and space shuttles requires a lot of materials. For now, it is impossible for humans to go to the Kuiper Belt to pick up meteorites and then transport them thanklessly. (End of this chapter)
