Although Maxim still had the usual serious expression on his face, Zhao Xinyun could easily see the fluctuation in his eyes.His heart was turbulent: he was excited about the major new discoveries made by his team, he was worried about the more difficult task in the next step, and he was curious about the structure of tentacle creatures...

Zhao Xinyun waited for him to stand facing the two of them. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth solemnly and said word by word: "As the captain, I am very happy with your performance. Your flexibility, The adaptability, the teamwork, everything. You guys are the best."

When she heard these words, her first reaction was: what? !This must be the sun coming out from the west - no, on Venus the sun comes out from the west, so what the hell is going on?On weekdays, Maxim basically wouldn't boast like this!

The two looked at each other and saw that the other was also shocked.Then they thought that Maxim was still watching, so they hurriedly used their brains with all their strength, and said a lot of words of thanks without repetition.As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Maxim immediately changed into a more stern tone, and added: "However, you must be careful not to use stones to scratch the helmet. This is not in compliance with the regulations of the aerospace manual. Potential for damage to the helmet."

What the hell!It’s not that we didn’t understand the helmet material at the Mars base, and we couldn’t even bear this, and I didn’t use the strength of lettering!Even so, compared to Maxim who spares no effort to praise the team members, Maxim who can pick mistakes is more people get used to... Zhao Xinyun thought so.

But because Maxim praised them just now, even though he immediately left to direct other affairs and did not stare at Zhao Xinyun, she still threw the stone aside.As for the remaining slime blocking her vision, she directly started to practice ignoring Dafa.Close your eyes... Anyway, just walk slowly in line to move, no need to open your eyes... chatting with Gracia...

Up to this moment, she still couldn't stop her pounding heartbeat.After all, in the short period of less than two hours just now, too many things happened, and too many shocks and surprises were brought to her. Her brain simply couldn't process so much information at once.So she simply stopped the analysis work in her brain, and turned to another topic with Gracia: when they planned to withdraw to the base camp.It was just a chat to pass the time, so there is nothing nutritious.

At this time, the people around were still making loud noises, and the more it turned out, the more everyone couldn't hear what other people were saying, and the more they had to raise their voices to hear.This vicious circle didn't get better until Maxim turned up the tweeter and shouted: "Quiet!"

Now that she was chatting with Gracia, Zhao Xinyun wisely switched the headset mode to one-on-one in time. Although it was useless, the helmet is not very soundproof, but it is always better than nothing.

"So, Gracia, do you think we will be studied from head to toe by those experts as guinea pigs?"

"Don't think about it, I think they will focus on the tentacle samples. What's the point of our research? Psychological?" Gracia knew that no one was watching, Zhao Xinyun was so annoyed by the mucus that she closed her eyes, and everyone else was paying attention My own business, so I rolled my eyes.

"Why would I want this kind of thing! It's not fun at all to be treated like a guinea pig! Actually, what I hope more is...they will allow us to be the main force for the follow-up exploration work."

"This is for sure. Our team has both first-hand information and first-time experience. Of course, it is very important for the follow-up work. At that time, I am afraid that our manpower will not be enough. It's just that this kind of thing is not yours. That's all I need to worry about."

Considering possible changes in the tentacles, such as calling friends to attract other tentacles, although a cursory observation suggests that the tentacles should be plant-like, fixed to the ground and rooted, there is no evidence that they cannot move at all.Of course, they may also change shape, or quickly grow more tentacles, and so on, the team members cannot predict.So before Maxim made a decision to leave five people nearby and take turns on duty 24 hours to monitor the situation here at any time, while the others all returned to the team's camp, sorted out the collected content, and provided information for the base camp. prepare for.

Although they are now basically sure that the tentacles just discovered belong to low-level creatures, the information provided by low-level creatures from various aspects may also help follow-up personnel to discover more traces of higher-level creatures, if these higher-level creatures do exist if.They also had to carefully mark the location of the field for subsequent exploration by others.

Previously, they had roughly reported to the main base what happened just now, and the main base also agreed with their decision to return immediately.On the one hand, after experiencing such a great shock, everyone needs to rest, and some even need psychological adjustment; analysis.The various large-scale instruments in the main base are impossible for the small team to carry, so these instruments are needed to conduct various tests, analyzes and research on the various samples collected.

Zhao Xinyun and Gracia were squeezed into the small space in the car, and mucus was everywhere. She tried not to think about the arduous task of the next step of cleaning. Although most of these things would not require them to do it, it was still... simply Killing obsessive-compulsive disorder, is there any!

This time, because there were no other tasks, all the vehicles moved at full speed, and soon everyone returned to the temporary camp.There wasn't enough water or filtration near the camp either, so everyone had to use air cleaning guns and help each other clean from head to toe.

Originally, there was another method on Mars. It is used in environments such as space stations that require extreme water conservation. It is a soap that only needs a small amount of water and can be directly applied to the surface of the object for cleaning.But this extraterrestrial exploration is not equipped with this kind of soap, because although soap has no possibility of harm to people and equipment, experts worry that it may have adverse effects on unknown alien environments.

Fortunately, the effect of the air cleaning gun was better than what Zhao Xinyun had imagined, but when Gracia took the gun and blew it on her helmet, it made a loud noise, which was hard for her to bear.The sound also made her worry unnecessarily that such a large pressure would blow a hole in her helmet, although she knew it was impossible.

Everyone also cleaned up the mucus one after another, as for those in the car, they had to go to the base camp.But this incident was fatal to Ye Xinghai, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness. She was going crazy on the way, and there was nothing she could do about it.She doesn't even have the normal Kleenex she used to blow her nose on Earth 600 years ago, so she'll have to wait until she gets back to camp, although there isn't enough water for her to wash her clothes.

Fortunately, although she has a cleanliness fetish, she also has another problem, the tendency to believe too much in technology.Originally, there was already such a thing as an air cleaning gun 600 years ago, but in most of the situations that Zhao Xinyun learned, there was no need to use it, and now this one is just cleaner.So anyway, Ye Xinghai had no choice but to make do with it.

They packed everything quickly and returned to base camp, and nothing special happened during the trip.However, the so-called "no news is good news" has also triggered the thinking of many team members: Why have they never encountered these tentacles?There are also quite a few people who set off to explore in all directions, why are they the only ones who come across it?Or, why is life so sparsely distributed on this planet?If aliens come to explore the earth or Mars, it is very difficult not to encounter any humans or animals.

"This problem...probably because their habitat is only suitable for a few places, such as the mountainous land we happened to pass by, the terrain is uneven, and it is easy to form water after the rain. Where there is water, it is easy to produce life." Zhao Xinyun was talking nonsense.

As she said that, she couldn't help sighing in her heart how wonderful this universe is, that life that is completely different from the solar system can be born here.But in the final analysis, the gap between this kind of life and the earth is not too big.In many science fiction novels she read 600 years ago, aliens and human beings were basically similar in form, but those were probably just for the convenience of human beings.In other science fiction, the form of alien life has nothing in common with humans, for example, it is mainly composed of other elements instead of carbon and oxygen.

Back at base camp, they were quickly surrounded by a large crowd, and received a warm welcome and plenty of questions.Although the various materials they provided, including the most intuitive photos and videos, have already been sent back to the base camp, they are still asked over and over again, "Are the tentacles scary?" "Are you all okay?" Do you feel scared?" "Why are they attacking you?" "According to your rough analysis, is it possible for tentacles to be made into human food?" Well, this last question sounds obviously asked by a foodie, Zhao Xinyun After hearing this, I only feel regretful, why didn't I think of this problem first.

After a lot of tossing, they finally settled down and handed over the collected samples to relevant personnel.Next, looking at the overexcited crowd, the superiors simply gave them a day off to move about freely, as long as they didn't hinder the work of the staff on duty.
