Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Almost two weeks have passed since it landed on Mars, and three full days have passed since the life support unit was renamed "New Virginia".

During this time, the New Virginia Survey ... or the work of the colony went quite smoothly. Although it suffered a 17-hour sandstorm during the period, it finally passed without any surprises.

In fact, in terms of Mars' atmosphere, which is a hundred times thinner than Earth, a sandstorm itself is not dangerous. Dangerous are the electrostatic lightning that occurs with sand storms and the decline of long-term light illumination, which prevents solar power generation devices from getting enough energy.

However, this kind of thing has been taken into consideration by Space-X's Mars colonization project team. The life support unit is equipped with a generator for burning methane, which can replace the solar power generation device to supply energy.

At the same time, the first thing that happened after these colonists landed was to install lightning rods for their new home to prevent possible accidents ...

Although they encountered many difficulties in adapting to the life of Mars in the beginning, they were fortunate to overcome them. At the same time, in cooperation with the NASA ground command center to complete the scheduled scientific research missions, Johnson usually takes half an hour every day to record the program of "The Martian Diary".

As Columbus in this new continent, he certainly hopes that more people will be interested in his "New Virginia". Therefore, when shooting, he usually chooses to show the good side of colonial life, the risky but not the dangerous side, and ignore the bad places.

In fact, the broadcast of this "large colonial advertisement" was also quite successful. People accidentally ate this set and discussed lively on Mars. After each episode of Diary of Mars is broadcast, it will cause a lot of topical enthusiasm on FB and Twitter.

So far, five episodes of "The Martian Diary" have been released, and it has become one of the most popular Internet programs in North America. Many TV stations have obtained broadcasting rights from Space-X.

Today is the shooting of Episode 6.

Correcting the camera on the table, Johnson stepped back two steps, exposing his white teeth, smiling and greeting the camera.

"Hey everyone, I'm Johnson, the captain of the Heart of Gold! It's been a long time since we met again!"

"Unfortunately, we encountered the same sandstorm as Opportunity! We ca n’t see our fingers outside and ca n’t go out to explore today ... But do n’t worry about us. We do n’t go out because we are not afraid of being blown away by wind. That thin atmosphere is even A tornado is blowing like a tickle on your body. "

"Come and talk about something else today. I'll show you what we can do in the colony when we can't go out ..."

Talking, Johnson picked up the camera equipment from the table, and walked to the public area next to him, while explaining to the audience what they usually do, and how to pass the VR game equipment or treadmill here time.

"This is where we entertain ... Although it seems a bit narrow now, after all, this is the initial stage of entrepreneurship. Everything will be fine ... Taiwei, say hi to everyone."

There was a helpless smile on the face of Tai Wei who was playing the game, but soon he was reminded by Johnson's eyes and changed to a sunny smile.

Johnson returned a "good" gesture and frowned at him.

"I'll cut it out for you just now. Don't thank me."

"I thank you so much."

Tywin rolled his eyes, put on his VR glasses and continued to fight in the ocean of video games.

In fact, life here is rather boring, far less utopian than Johnson has portrayed.

However, these things are obviously not suitable for display in this half an hour, or even if he accidentally showed it, when Space-X edited the video, he would help him kindly delete that part. .

None of these things matter.

He did not shoot these things in order to spread negative energy.

Speaking to the camera, watching the growing ratings on the earth tens of millions of kilometers away has become part of his daily decompression. If it weren't for enough content, the editing would take time, and he even wished to relax at the frequency of one episode a day.

After taking viewers to watch Tavi, who was playing VR, and Jones, who was sitting next to the coffee machine, reading, Johnson went to the Mars garage and stood next to his "car".

"Happy times are always short, and it's time to say goodbye again. I look forward to seeing you again, and I hope you look forward to your next meeting, bye—"

Johnson put a cool pose on the camera and ended today's shooting.

At this moment, footsteps came from the door of the garage, and Taiwei, who had finished the game time, came over.

Looking at Johnson standing next to the rover, he folded his arms and said in a complaining voice.

"This **** show doesn't make me feel good at all."

Johnson smiled, tucked the camera into his pocket, and walked to the door to pat Tavie's shoulder.

"Relax, buddy, and after a while the sandstorm has stopped, I can drive you out for a drive."

Taiwei complained, "I don't want to go for a drive. Go to yourself. There is nothing but sand here! Damn, why did I come here?"

Mars does not have such a thing as a road, and it is slightly better in the desert. The last time I went to the rock area to drill samples, the bumps along the way almost did not bump out the lunch in his stomach.

After the freshness of Mars, he was quite resistant to attendance, demanding that his work be relocated to the colony.

Although helpless, Johnson met his requirements.

Instead, Jones was transferred to attendance.

Fortunately, these tasks themselves do not require many people. Most of the equipment has already been highly automated, and sometimes they do not even need to get off the car.

Before setting off for the life support unit, NASA itself had considered that the three colonists could not go out of the cabin ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ To put it plainly, their main task was to test this life support unit. Most other scientific activities are incidental.

"Okay buddy, everything will be fine. Two months of flight have survived, and our good days have just begun,"

Facing his teammate's complaints, Johnson didn't know what to do, so he could only try to comfort him.

Regardless of whether his teammates buy it, this is the only thing he can do.

What he didn't know, however, was that while he was comforting Taiwei, the NASA ground command center, which was tens of millions of kilometers away, had become a mess.

Yes.

The dust storm on Mars is really nothing terrible.

However, if this global sandstorm lasts for more than six months, even if a methane generator can be used as a backup power source, the situation will start to become less optimistic ...
