Pei Jie looked down at the time displayed on his watch.

"It's almost time, Yinghuo, tell everyone to go to the medical room for a physical examination."

I just arrived today. After the adjustment, I need to go to the medical room to check my body first, take a rest for a day to adapt to the gravity environment of Mars, and then start the mission.

Chapter 728 The Smell of Martian Air

Taohuayuan No. 1 biosphere research base.

Today is the second day of coming to Mars, the morning of Mars.They've just woken up, and here on Earth, it's five o'clock in the afternoon.

In the central command room, eight people sat around the conference table.This is the first meeting to come to Mars.

Who, as the representative, took off the protective clothing and entered the Taohuayuan No. 1 biosphere first?

This is the question being discussed now.

Experiments have certain unknowns and risks, and they have to be cautious.

"Let me lead the team out," Hua Yan said.

She is the only Chinese woman among the eight people. She looks like her name, a sonorous rose, and she is also the vice-captain of the team.

As an ordinary astronomy student, astronomy research is her hobby, and she even wants to travel in space.Just wanting to travel in space, the cost is beyond the reach of any ordinary person.

When the Army Ant Group started recruiting Martian volunteers, she signed up to participate, and stood out the most, becoming one of the first eight lucky ones.

Girls are uniquely careful and resilient, which complement Pei Jie and have leadership skills, making her the vice-captain.His prestige in the team was second only to Captain Pei Jie.

"No."

Pei Jie flatly rejected Hua Yan's proposal.

"As the captain, I should take the lead. Next, I will select two players from among you to go to the No. 1 biosphere in Taohuayuan."

"As the captain and the commander of the base, you can't take any risks," Hua Yan said.

"I agree."

A team member next to him raised his hand in favor.

Muhanqed, Arab, brown skin, piercing glasses.At this moment, Muhan Kede raised his hand with a smile on his lips.

"As the captain, you should be in command at the base instead of taking risks. I can lead the team out."

Seeing that Muhan Kede also spoke, Pei Jie smiled directly.

"It's useless to agree, and now is not the time to vote. I am the captain, and I must follow my arrangements here. Huayan stays. Tang Yuntao and Castelin go out with me. While I am out, the rest follow Huayan's orders." instruction."

Pei Jie made a conclusion directly.

The first batch to go out was exposed to the Martian atmosphere for the first time, and the risk factor was higher.Because the outside is a completely unknown environment, no one knows what will happen.

"Captain, can I go out instead of Yuntao?" Muhan Kede said.

"Want to grab my position? No way."

The honest-looking team member next to him heard that Muhan Kede wanted to replace him, and immediately refused.

He looked the thinnest, but his training data was second only to Pei Jie among the eight of them. He was just a bit shy and couldn't be the vice captain.

"Don't argue, let's make this decision, and start preparing for going out now." Pei Jie made the decision.

After the meeting was over, the three of them went to the exit passage of the base to prepare. Huayan could only take Pei Jie's place, sitting in the central command post, and paying attention to their preparations to go out.

At the Flying Ant Space Center far away on the earth, all the experts are paying attention to their going out.

For the first time in human history, we were exposed to an alien environment without protection and survived in it. This is a milestone event.

If successful, it proves that planetary transformation is feasible, and in the future, it will provide infinite help to human interstellar exploration.

Chen Mo is also paying attention to the situation of Taohuayuan No. 1. This experiment is related to the completion of his Mars transformation project. Even if he has nothing to do, he still has to watch.

Pei Jie, Tang Yuntao and Castelin were already waiting.

The three of them didn't wear protective clothing, only their daily training uniforms, but just in case, they all carried a simple oxygen tank the size of an arm on their backs.

Outside the gate, there is an emergency Mars rover and three robots waiting, ready to carry out rescue at any time.

The test must do its best to protect the lives of Mars volunteers.

"The atmospheric pressure of the exit cabin is being adjusted. The hatch will open in one minute. Please prepare..." Mars' artificial intelligence 'Yinghuo' sounded a reminder.

As soon as the words fell, Pei Jie and the three gradually felt the difference in the cabin.

The atmospheric pressure in the cabin they were in was changing, and the atmospheric pressure became lower, which made them feel a little tight in their chests, as if they were standing on a plateau.

They have been trained in the plateau, have experience in plateau survival, and quickly adapt to changes in atmospheric pressure.

1 minute, it feels a little slow at this moment.

Finally, when the atmospheric pressure inside the cabin was the same as that outside, Didi’s reminder sounded, and the artificial intelligence confirmed again that the cabin can be opened and taken out.

Pei Jie was a little nervous, this door closed two worlds.

This is also a major event in human history.

He believes that in the command post on Earth, countless astronomers and biologists are waiting for what will happen next

In the command center of the base, Hua Yan and others were also nervously watching the situation of the three of them, waiting for the hatch to open.

"Are you ready?"

Pei Jie put his hands on the handle of the cabin door and looked at Tang Yuntao and Castelin.His heartbeat was also speeding up, and it felt like it was jumping into his throat. Fortunately, he had enough mental quality to recover himself quickly.

"Ready."

The two took a deep breath and nodded in unison.

click! !

The sound of the mechanical lock of the cabin door turning made the three people's hearts beat violently.

Like a chicken out of its shell, the hatch was slowly opened.

A breeze rushed into the cabin head-on, and the three of them felt the different temperatures in the air, a bit like walking out of an air-conditioned room in summer.

Stepping out of the hatch, the scene of the biosphere of Taohuayuan No. 1 is unreservedly displayed in front of you.

There is still a special smell in the air, like the smell of soil, which is different from the air on the earth, like the smell of water in a new city.

fine!

Successful.

The images of the three people were sent back to the command center of the research base through the surveillance cameras, and everyone cheered.

At the same time, the command center of the Flying Ant Aerospace Base, the biologists and astronomers who saw this scene were all ecstatic.

This picture will be recorded in the annals of human development.

They clearly witnessed this moment.

"What's wrong?" Pei Jie quickly came back to his senses, and looked at Tang Yuntao and Castelin.

The two who were still thinking about the smell of the air came back to their senses and shook their heads at the same time.

"I don't feel any discomfort. It's like being on a plateau. Except for the chest tightness, I have no other problems. My body is a little light, and I feel that I can jump quite high." Tang Yuntao checked his body carefully and began to describe: "These feelings are also felt in the base. The only difference , there is a special smell in the air."

"I also smell a special smell." Castelin nodded.

"I smell it too." Pei Jie said.

"What is the taste?"

Voices came from the earphones of the three people. This was a question directly asked by the Earth's command center, and the voices were a little nervous.

"Indescribable, with a hint of earthiness."

"Anyway, the air is not sweet." Pei Jie joked, but also a little seriously: "It feels like you have just arrived in a new city and drank the local water, which tastes different from the water in your hometown."

After the report, Pei Jie once again focused on the surrounding environment: "Now walk around, don't go too far, and adapt to the new environment first."

They all have ropes on them, and they are not too far apart from each other.

Now that they have just arrived in this new environment, it is not yet possible to determine whether there are other discomfort problems.

In the laboratory, Chen Mo was also paying attention to their condition, and Mo Nu handed Chen Mo the body data of the three of them.The watches on their bodies can monitor their health data at any time.

"Their heart rate is normal, their body temperature is normal, and there is no abnormality in their bodies at present."

"Continue to observe." Chen Mo nodded slightly, relatively calm.Now it was just the beginning, but anyway, seeing that they were safe and sound, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a good beginning.

Chapter 729 A false alarm

The Army Ant Group announced that Martian volunteers successfully walked on Mars without protection.Once the plan for the Mars Survival Experiment was announced, it stirred up waves.

The self-made army ant group began to transform Mars, and the outside world has been speculating on the progress of Mars' transformation. Now it has only been a few months, and the atmosphere of Mars can support human survival?

The world was in an uproar.

The army ant group used special machines to accelerate the transformation of the atmosphere of Mars and produce oxygen, once again showing amazing generosity.

I originally thought that it would take a long time for natural evolution before Mars would appear to indicate the conditions for the survival of animals, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

According to the records of later generations, this day is the first day for human beings to truly live in aliens.

The global scientific community has shown unprecedented interest in Mars research, and some astronomical research teams have applied to join Chinese universities, hoping to conduct in-depth Mars research.

Ten days is not long.

Everything is working fine.

……

Kasteline scratched her arm and frowned.

Something doesn't feel right.

This morning, when I went out for activities, my arms and legs were always a little itchy, and it was getting more and more itchy.

Lifting up the sleeves, red dots came into view, and Kasteline's pupils shrank.

Pei Jie, who was beside him, saw Kasteline's strangeness, and saw some dense red spots on her arm, her pupils shrank, and immediately became nervous.Red dots appeared on Kasteline's body, like mosquito bites. On the white flesh of her arm, the size of mung beans was very conspicuous.

"Immediately arrange for No. 4 to go to the medical room for a physical examination."

After calling the artificial intelligence, Pei Jie turned to look at Castelin, staring at the conspicuous red spot on her arm.

"Don't worry, it looks like a skin allergy"

Even on the earth, when you arrive in a new environment, you may be unacclimatized or infected with local germs, causing illness.On Mars, no one knows how many unknown dangers there are.

Every volunteer has been selected layer by layer. Their own resistance and physical fitness are among the top among ordinary people, and they will not get sick easily.

It is only the fifth day after arriving on Mars, and Kasterine finally has problems.

The first batch of Mars volunteers, now only three people led by Hua Yan stayed in the research base as emergency personnel, and the other five people all entered the unprotected residence of Taohuayuan No. 1 biosphere to conduct survival experiments.

The residence of their experimental group was an ordinary villa, which was large enough to accommodate all of them.

Their food, provided by the base, is potatoes and vegetables naturally grown in the biosphere, as well as rabbits. Water also needs to be collected from river water and rainwater in the biosphere.

The living appliances and equipment they need will be provided in the house.

They want to live normally in the biosphere, like the earth.

"Others, now also suspend their activities and go to the medical room for a physical examination." Pei Jie said.

"Do you need help?"

Huayan's voice came from the headset, a little nervous. After all, there was a problem on Mars, so it was impossible to say that she wasn't nervous.

Although they have sufficient psychological preparation for this experiment.

"No, it's not sure if it's skin allergies or if it's contagious. You are in the base, so you don't need to come out." Pei Jie said seriously.

Several people boarded the medical vehicle and directly entered the underground passage, leading directly to the medical room of the research base.Go to the medical room at the research base.As a patient, Kasteline was pushed into a relatively spacious consulting room.
