Survival on Mars Live

Chapter 12 Traces of BBQ

The next day, as usual, Chen Mulin checked the equipment after breakfast, went out to clean up the dust on the photovoltaic panels, and then started the live broadcast.

In fact, the live broadcast room has always been on the air, for the sake of authenticity, 24 hours of uninterrupted monitoring, of course, as long as Chen Mulin is not willing, he will not appear in the camera.

In the camera, Chen Mulin's complexion is still not very good. After a day, his stomach is still rumbling, but he didn't sleep well all night, and only now has he slightly improved.

After adjusting his mentality slightly, Chen Mulin began to speak: "Here come brothers!"

"Today is the sixth Martian day on Mars, and the weather is not bad. The sandstorm did not come towards the base as expected, as expected."

"I had a bad stomach from eating yesterday, and it just got better today. My face looks like I haven't eaten for a few days."

[Barrage: You live like a person who has been drained. 】

[Barrage: Drained by the toilet! 】

It was really drained by the toilet.

Chen Mulin doesn't deny this point, it's a truth, there is nothing to refute.

He tapped the keyboard, connected the two cameras of the Mars rover to the live broadcast room, and the screen was enlarged.

"Now the Mars rover has been traveling for fifteen hours, and has been traveling at a low speed of five kilometers per hour. According to the maximum mileage of a single charge, the rover should be 40 kilometers away from the base."

"Under the premise of sufficient sunlight, it takes five hours for the unmanned exploration vehicle to charge once. Of course, the anchor set it to charge while driving. It has been more than two hours since the sun rose, and today it is estimated to travel [-] kilometers. "

"The distance between the base and Mount Olympus is [-] kilometers, that is to say, at the current speed, it will take six hours for the rover to reach its destination."

"Now let's take a look at the pictures taken during the fifteen hours."

Chen Mulin tapped the keyboard again, zoomed out the two current images to the corner, and then called up the shooting records of the two rover vehicles to zoom in and watch them at 16x speed.

It was completely Gobi Desert, with no special features at all. Chen Mulin looked bored and couldn't help speeding up the playback speed.

Until the end, nothing was found. After all, the distance is not very far, only tens of kilometers.

Switch the screen back to the present, just watch it boredly, while chatting with water friends.

"Well, it seems that there is nothing found, no traces of Martian activities, and no signs of life, let alone plants. The whole area is the Gobi Desert, and there is not even a strange stone."

[Barrage: The anchor finally admitted that this is the Gobi Desert! 】

[Barrage: Please continue to keep your mystery! 】

[Big screen: Don't take medicine, continue to perform! 】

Chen Mulin couldn't give in to the question of whether this is Mars: "It's the Gobi Desert, that's right, it's just the Gobi Desert on Mars!"

Speaking of plants, I think of the potatoes that were just planted yesterday, maybe I should take the water friends to have a look.

Thinking of Chen Mulin getting up and walking to the main hall, he didn't disconnect the equipment connection between the live broadcast room and the Mars rover, but just zoomed out to one side and zoomed in on the current camera.

"The rover hasn't found anything so far. Let me show you the potatoes planted yesterday."

Under the lens, the circle of film is covered with water droplets, and the sand inside is also moist.

Obviously, it is impossible to sprout in just a dozen hours, and now it is just to see the situation. This is a human psychological effect.

"According to the anchor's estimation, the potatoes should sprout in two days. The soil is guaranteed to break through within a week. Please trust my agricultural skills!"

[Barrage: Damon told you? 】

[Barrage: A week later, the ground will be broken, and then the anchor will find out that shit is still shit, and potatoes are also shit. 】

[Barrage: Anchor, there is something wrong with your remote control car! 】

[Barrage: There is a problem with the remote control car! 】

……

Looking at the barrage, Chen Mulin suddenly heard a series of sirens, which were indeed signals from the detection vehicle.

It's the number two car!

Chen Mulin quickly switched the main screen to the No. [-] car.

In the shot, the No. [-] car has stopped, the camera is facing the ground, and there seems to be some traces there.

Chen Mulin decisively issued an order to let the rover clean up the traces.

After the command was issued, the rover stretched out a mechanical arm with a brush and began to clean up the dust covered on the trace.

Gradually, the traces became clear and looked familiar.

Continue to wait until the cleaning is complete and the traces are fully exposed to the lens.

[Barrage: Charcoal? 】

[Barrage: Could it be that the Martians held a bonfire party here? 】

[Barrage: Could it be that the anchor burned it himself not long ago? 】

[Barrage: BBQ traces left by the Martians? 】

……

Oh my goodness, what a bonfire, it wasn't there, but it sure looked like burnt charcoal.

The bare Mars, where did the wood come from?

"Brothers, it seems that we have discovered something extraordinary. Just like what you said, it really looks like the traces left by BBQ. Could it be possible that there is life on Mars?"

"However, you also know that the surface of Mars is bare, either plains or mountains, or sandstorms. Where did the wood come from? Could it be that the wood on Mars grows underground? Or there is a space under the surface of Mars where life exists. ?”

"It's unbelievable!"

Chen Mulin sighed, this is real Mars, not a certain piece of Gobi Desert on the earth, now it is very necessary to take a sample back to see if it is charcoal, if it is, then there is no doubt that there is life on Mars.

Following an order from Chen Mulin, the Mars Exploration Rover stretched out a mechanical arm with a shovel again, and the two mechanical arms worked together to load the suspected charcoal into the vehicle.

"Brothers, now that the samples have been collected, I will send the rover back to the base immediately. Tomorrow we will reveal whether this suspected charcoal is actually charcoal."
