The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 16 Mount Olympus

The capsule door slowly opened to both sides, and Cui Xingmeng felt a cold and dry air coming towards her, which made her shiver all over.

She followed Elder Bao Xi out of the capsule, the Luotang cheongsam on her body gradually changed from bright yellow to orange, and a warm current flowed through her body.

"Do you feel okay? Is it cold?" Elder Bao Xi asked with concern.

"This is the highest point of Mars?! Shouldn't it be extremely cold? Why do I feel warm instead?" Cui Xingmeng responded puzzled.

"Yes, this is the top of Olympus Volcano. Today's temperature is about minus 80 degrees. According to the standards of people on earth, it is indeed extremely cold, but the polar temperature of Mars can reach minus 150 degrees. Compared with The real extreme cold can be regarded as warm." Elder Bao Xi explained, "The Luotang clothes on your body are made of high-molecular intelligent compounds. The inner part can change its flexibility according to your body temperature, and the outer part can actively adjust according to the external environment. The microenvironment of the skin, just after coming out of the capsule, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is a bit large, so it actively heats up the energy field around your skin."

"But why doesn't my exposed skin feel cold?"

"What Luotang adjusts and intervenes is your energy field, not just the part it covers, just like some wireless connection devices on your earth, as long as it is within a certain distance, its intervention is effective." Bao Xi had a good opinion of Cui Xingmeng Questions must be answered, "In addition, the surface of your skin has been siliconized, so your own skin also has the ability to protect against radiation and heat."

After temporarily figuring out her physical condition, Cui Xingmeng began to look at the scene in front of her. Although Mount Olympus is the largest volcano in the solar system, twice as tall as Mount Everest, there is no such thing as standing on the top of it. Majestic and majestic, on the contrary, what Cui Xing dreamed of was, "What a beautiful view of a lonely desert and a sunset over a long river! No, there is not only a sunset in the sky, but also a blue moon!"

"That's right, that's where you came from, Earth!" Bao Xie explained, seeing Cui Xingmeng staring at the blue moon in the sky, and explained, "In a while, when the twilight gets darker, you can still see the moon orbiting the earth with your naked eyes." Small moon. The atmosphere of Mars is very thin, and the starry sky here at night is very beautiful.”

"This desert is also beautiful," Cui Xingmeng couldn't help admiring, "Is this the shield ring you mentioned?"

"Yes, during the young active period of Olympus Volcano, even the erupted lava slowly flowed out of the crater, bringing rich organic soil to the surrounding tribes and cities. Every time it erupts, It's a carnival for the people of Mars." Elder Bao Xi's narration of the past is always full of nostalgia. "This kind of carnival has disappeared for millions of years, and now there is only this flat river covered with hematite that has been oxidized for many years. Although it looks like your desert, it is cold and red. iron sand."

When Bao Xi said this, he was a little sad, so he didn't say anything more, just walked counterclockwise along the mountain top ring, Cui Xingmeng followed silently, and didn't ask any more questions.

After about a cup of tea, Elder Bao Xi stopped, and only then did Cui Xingmeng realize that there was an earth core capsule door similar to when they first arrived, "Let's go down to the bottom of the volcano from here, Miemeng Gallery The wormhole will soon be time at the shuttle."

"What's a wormhole?" Cui Xingmeng followed Elder Bao Xi into the capsule, waited for him to enter the door, set the dial and sat down, and asked without losing the opportunity.

"This is a very good question. You can ask Yizhou for his understanding later. The Miemeng Gallery sent you here through the wormhole." Bao Xi didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, which aroused Cui Xingmeng's concern even more. interest.

"I've heard of wormholes and black holes. Is this wormhole a similar concept? Is this the key to your time travel?" Cui Xingmeng chased after him.

"How much do you know about the concept of four dimensions?" Seeing that this topic cannot be avoided, Bao Xi tried to explain it in a simple way.

"Three-dimensional plus time dimension, it is four-dimensional." Cui Xingmeng replied.

"Then how do you understand time travel?" Bao Xie said persuasively.

"If you can master the time dimension, you can bring people or things in the three-dimensional space to any point in time, and realize the freedom of time, that is, you can travel back and forth." Cui Xingmeng didn't expect that he would be asked back, and desperately recalled his remaining memories. With that bit of physics knowledge, coupled with the shuttle drama I watched, I managed it.

"Mastering the time dimension! It's not easy! The Martians once thought they could become the masters of the four-dimensional civilization, and made many crazy decisions. That was an irreparable shortcoming and mistake in the history of Mars. To this day, we are still fighting for that period. In the darkest time, a painful price was paid." Bao Xi hesitated to speak, his grief and indignation could not be appeased. "These prices are exchanged, but at the speed of near light, let the small quality like Miemeng Gallery shuttle through the extremely unstable wormhole."

Cui Xingmeng seems to understand, but seeing that Bao Xi is so unwilling to talk about it, she doesn't ask any more questions, thinking that she will have an answer when she sees her fiancé in a while. After all, Yuan Yizhou's physics college entrance examination is full marks, so she should look at this question more deeply than she does. a little.

The capsule soon arrived at the bottom of the volcano that Bao Xi mentioned. When the door was opened, the scenery here and the desert on the top of the mountain were completely different. Cui Xingmeng felt that he had come to the water town in his dream!The long-lost green came into view, and a clear spring echoed the waterfall in the distance, gurgling in front of it, and the Martians who shuttled between the green and the clear spring brought a soothing atmosphere to the place.

That's right, Cui Xingmeng didn't see many people all the way from the cultivation center. She was watching in a daze when two Martians walked past and said respectfully, "Hello, Elder Bao Xi!" pleasing to the ear.

The two looked at Cui Xingmeng and whispered to each other, smiled lightly as a greeting, and entered the capsule that Cui Xingmeng and Bao Xi had just come out of.

"These two girls, except for their white and blue skin, look alike in other parts, they must be twins!" Cui Xingmeng said admiringly.

"No, it's a genetically encoded clone." Bao Xi replied calmly.

"What? Genetic coding? Human cloning?" How could Cui Xingmeng not be able to combine these words, which can only be seen in earth science magazines, with the beautiful scenery of small bridges, flowing water, mountains and mountains in front of him, and the gentle and graceful wind just now? The two little beauties are connected together.

"You mean, these are not natural?" Cui Xingmeng asked in a daze.

"Are you asking about the scenery, or the people? Mars is already a planet abandoned by the sky, and here, we are our own sky." Bao Xi said with a bit of resentment.

"The shuttle station is just ahead. Yizhou and the others should have arrived." Elder Bao Xi quickened his pace. Obviously, he didn't want Cui Xingmeng to continue to delve into this topic.

Soon the two came to the Water Curtain Cave under the waterfall. As soon as they stood firm, they saw a very strong white light from behind the cave through the water curtain. After a few seconds, the white light disappeared and the water curtain retreated to On both sides, a group of people came out from inside.
