"Cheers!" 90 people were cheering in the newly established Mars Advance Base. Except for the 30 space pilots who need to stay behind the spacecraft, all the others have already arrived here. Although it is only 3.72, which is not half the size of the earth, it is still much better than the trapped spaceship.
Under the warm sunshine, this artificial greenhouse is already full of greenery. The actresses are wearing sexy clothes and drinking wine with everyone. The protruding points on their chests have become a beautiful sight in the eyes of many people - even though everyone is already fooling around together. I don’t know how many times. In fact, this weird suggestion from the female space employee has so far been found to be really useful, giving these passionate young men something to "do" when they are bored. Otherwise, various psychological problems will really occur.
Of course, such a bizarre proposal is no longer a secret among the country's upper echelons. Even some media have speculated, but no one dares to report it.
After the people here cheered, the crew returned to the spacecraft and let the 30 people on it come to Mars. Everyone celebrated again. Although it was tedious, everyone was excited. Humanity's first true forward base.
"Everyone, tell me, what is the name of our advanced base?" Liu Haibo was also excited. He stepped on a stool carved out of stone with one foot and kept holding a tin cup - in space, he really didn't dare to use glass cups. Although the glass is beautiful, life is more precious.
"I think it should be called the Forward Base!" Li Kai, the captain of the first team, said, "Since it is the first forward base of mankind, then we will use this name. When the time comes, others will think of it as long as they mention this name. This, I think of Master Company!”
"Fuck! What a great idea!" Liu Haibo's long-term repressive life made Liu Haibo become violent. "Bring this news to the earth and keep the people on earth busy!"
"Pfft..." Everyone yelled, never expecting that the usually serious and serious captain also had such a "cute" side. Let the people on earth be busy... Brother, we are all people on earth! It doesn’t mean that if you stand on Mars, you are a Martian!
However, such a sentence also made the atmosphere more lively. Some team members with "quick eyes and quick hands" were already holding the female employee's hands up and down.
Of course, in order to compete for limited resources, these team members must compete with each other.
It was a luxurious day dedicated to celebration. Every extra day spent in space costs at least a billion yuan. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a luxury. Even the big guys on earth wouldn't dare to spend such a fee.
But starting from the second day, the team members who had enjoyed themselves first began to get ready to go. The 20 people, led by Liu Haibo, set off towards the north of Mars.
Three Mars rovers, with pneumatic tires of two meters high and one meter wide, drive quickly on the surface of Mars. This kind of Mars rover, because it adopts an advanced electric drive method, the drive device is sophisticated and powerful, and the gravity on the surface of Mars is low, so this time it hauled a total of 6 small trailers, totaling more than 200 tons of supplies. These supplies, It is enough to last 20 expedition members for two months, not to mention that the space shuttle in the sky will provide support at any time.
What everyone is exploring this time is around 60 degrees north latitude. Radioactive photos taken in space show that there is a large amount of hydrogen here. And everyone is going to find the secrets of water, life, Mars, etc. here. Especially the search for life on Mars is a topic that everyone is concerned about. Many people on the spacecraft speculate that even environments like Ceres have multi-cellular life, so there may be more complex life on Mars!
Especially those "bottomless pits" that spray methane every day. This is what Chi Guoguo said: Come on, there is life here! Of course, this is just the fantasy of scientists in the Earth Age.
Moving along the rugged ground, the three huge Mars rovers carry loads that are several times greater than the sum of all the probes launched by humans in the past. But the surface of Mars is really difficult to travel on. Even such a high-tech Mars rover can only travel at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometers per hour. It will still take some time to reach Mars at about 60 degrees north latitude at such a speed.
Of course, this is not a pure journey. Various sampling, inspections, tests, etc. must be done along the way. Otherwise, it would not be faster to transport these materials directly to the north by plane and assemble them again!
"Look in front! It turns out to be the country's Mars probe. Let's go over and say hello!" A team member discovered a Mars robot with the Chinese national flag on it.
"This is the Xunqi probe launched by the country in 2048. It weighs 122.45 kilograms. Come on, come up and say hello." Liu Haibo walked off first.
"Wait, the effect of this is not outstanding, we are so and so..." Yang Zhencheng started to come up with bad ideas.
Of course, I can't say it's a bad idea, it can only be said to be a bit of a prank. Putting a piece of rock candy in front of the Mars robot, everyone walked away; anyway, this robot walked slowly and could only walk under relatively strong light during the day; it would not be too late to say hello after everyone returned.
Of course, during the prank, everyone turned on the electromagnetic shielding so that the robot could not detect everyone. In fact, the technology of this Mars robot is already very advanced, but the technology of the master company is even more advanced!
This bunch of bastards moved leisurely towards the north, but they made the Chinese experts frown. The Mars robot Curiosity actually discovered rock candy on Mars... I'll go! At first, everyone was very happy. They discovered a crystal that had never been seen before, then analyzed the structure, and after restoring it on the earth, they discovered that it was a piece of rock candy!
"Don't look any further. These bastards must be taught a lesson when they come back!" The gray-haired Cheng Feng gritted his teeth. The only ones who can do this are the little bastards from the master company. Didn’t we talk about landing on Mars some time ago? It seems that they have successfully landed.
Of course, after feeling dumbfounded, Cheng Feng was still a little emotional! The master company is developing so fast!
But then there was also some pride, these are Chinese people!
At this time, it was already more than ten hours later, and the expedition team of the Master Company had arrived at 40 degrees north latitude of Mars. It's just a discovery, but it makes people have to stop moving forward.
Because, a huge salt layer appeared in front of everyone!
This is the white color discovered after the Mars rover passed by and drove away the surrounding dust. After cleaning it, it was found that it was not ice or dry ice as everyone imagined, but a layer of salt!
Many people wonder why they are so excited about discovering salt formations. In fact, based on observations of the earth, scientists have found that there is only one way to deposit a large amount of salt - a huge lake or ocean that has existed for more than tens of thousands of years. In other words, there must be liquid water that exists for a long time (it can be discontinuous, such as seasonal lakes)!
Salt is formed when water washes away sediment, rocks, etc., dissolving, carrying, and gathering the soluble substances in them. Gathering enough salt requires large amounts of water, stable rivers, and so on.
Many people say that in the salt layer, fossils of ancient organisms will be buried-and they are fossils that have not decayed and have complete flesh bodies! They are a different kind of "pickles" that are salted with salt!
This is an extremely important fossil that has always existed only in theory! However, today, Liu Haibo had a sudden idea to send the news back to the forward base, and asked the forward base to send it back to space - and then forward it to the earth; and here, preparations have already begun to excavate the salt layer. In just 20 minutes, Liu Haibo received a reply from Earth: bringing back pictures, videos of the excavation process, and specimens.
