doomsday exile

The first time I actually set foot on the surface of Mars was the third day after Lu Di came to the scientific research station.

The crimson desert stretches as far as the eye can see, with rocks distributed irregularly on it, and the sun hangs in the sky like a hazy light group, today it is a light color of white and blue.

"Today is a fine weather." Cao Yan said with certainty.

The Mars rover is one size smaller than the armored vehicle, but it is not light at all, and the tires are half the height of the body.

It is said that the price of this car can buy a building in Shangdu.

"It's definitely the most luxurious car on earth, it doesn't cost money, and it also has the most advanced automatic driving system in the world... The most important thing is that there are no traffic lights here, and there are basically no other vehicles, so you can drive as you want. Just open it."

This experience is really powerful.

Lu Di, who does not have a driver's license for a Mars rover, looked at Cao Yan enviously.

"The disadvantage is that the driving time is too long and boring. Our trip today is five hours. Do you want to sit on the roof and enjoy the scenery or chat in the car?" Cao Yan asked Yan Long and Lu Di for their opinions.

Yan Long tilted his head slightly, looking at Lu Di.

Lu Di obviously wanted to feel the real breath of Mars.

"Okay, there is a communicator in your protective suit, call out when you want to get in the car." Cao Yan put on a full space suit while talking.

It is necessary to wear a space suit for outdoor scientific research on Mars, because the atmosphere of Mars is thin, and the strong radiation directly shines on the ground. This planet seems to be placed in a huge and invisible microwave oven, coupled with the erosion of solar particle wind , so no matter who you are, you need protective clothing.

But Lu Di doesn't have to wear an airbag like Cao Yan, and the protective clothing he uses is much simpler.

No life support system, no oxygen tanks, no fan system and no water tanks.

There is also no pressure layer, inner insulation layer, extruded polyester layer, only an outer protective layer made of fiberglass and aerospace materials.

So it is a protective suit, but it is actually more like a cloak carrier.

"No, it's more like a sleeping bag, sealed." Lu Di picked up the protective suit with gloves and commented pertinently.

There is a support frame inside the protective suit to prevent it from directly collapsing into a piece of skin.

Lu Di touched it carefully and confirmed that this material is difficult to penetrate.

Yan Long first helped Lu Di prop up the protective clothing, and then stuck the metal ball into the groove of the support frame.

"For the material you requested not to be too thick, the protective clothing does not have a rubber nylon insulation layer, but this is more dangerous, so try to stay in this spherical carrier as much as possible." Yan Long told Lu Di worriedly.

The extreme environment of Mars will destroy the stable state of energy particles in the spiritual body.

But we can’t be incapable of adapting to Mars. If we can’t get familiar with the “strings” here, and we can’t handle the quantum transmission network, the big Mars construction project proposed by Professor He cannot be completed.

"Put your own safety first and don't take risks lightly."

Yan Long was worried that Lu Di would be addicted to the world where various sounds and colors intertwine, but in order to experience the environment of Mars in a pure particle state, he could not adopt the fusion state, so he couldn't grab Lu Di in time.

Lu Di nodded, patted the protective suit and said, "Don't worry, after entering here, it's like wearing earplugs, a mask, and a pair of sunglasses."

Although it is clearer than "seeing" the world in the Mars rover, it is still in the "fuzzy" stage, and it is not afraid of indulging.

With the help of the robotic arm, Cao Yan put on the spacesuit. Seeing that they were all ready, he took a deep breath, pressed the button of the airlock, and opened the car door.

The dry wind blows with sand grains.

This crimson barren planet gives the impression of being extremely hot, but it is not.

"The surface temperature is 18 degrees, the wind force is five, the weather is fine, I wish you a smooth job." The vehicle system automatically broadcasts with a mechanical sound.

Cao Yan's space suit is the most suitable temperature, and he can't feel the cold or heat outside. He steps in a clumsy posture, then lifts his feet easily, and falls again.

The gravity of Mars is only one-third of that of the earth, so even if you wear heavy clothes, you don't have to worry about walking hard.

However, if you want to adapt to this environment, you still need to exercise, otherwise it is easy to plunge into the sand on the ground.

The carrier of Yan Long and Lu Di can barely move, but the weight is too light, and it is easy to be blown away when the wind is strong, so the two simply waited for Cao Yan to drag them to the side of the Mars rover, and then moved them to the roof to fix it.

When the vehicle restarted, Lu Di felt the bumps and speed of the bad road conditions, and watched the carrier "float" in silence except for a few fixed angles.

"It's like flying a kite, and I'm a kite."

"It's us."

Yan Long corrected, and then carefully recorded the data.

After 10 minutes, Lu Di said again: "No, there is no string, not a kite, I feel like we are packed in sacks."

"The price of this sack is quite expensive." Yan Long replied.

Lu Di choked.

He thought about it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it. A foreign luxury brand has produced a bag with a pattern like a snakeskin sack.

"Well, if it's not a sack, it's probably a model of the moon that the mall puts on the square in front of the door around the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Inflatable, very large, with lights inside, but apart from the skeleton, it is a limp layer of skin.

In order to prevent the moon from being blown away by strong winds, the bottom is usually fixed on the ground, and some railings are placed around it as a barrier - very similar to the environment on the roof of a car.

Lu Di said excitedly: "It just so happens that Mars has two satellites, so the two of us are just right for the occasion."

Yan Long: "..."

Sometimes Yan Long wonders if Lu Di, as a metamorphosed spiritual body, has a leap in thinking ability?

Yan Long asked Zhu Zhu, Chen Yan, and Captain Yuan, and they all said that sometimes they couldn't hear Lu Di's words at all.

——So the self who can answer the conversation is more like a human being, or is it because the essence is not human?

Yan Long, who was also thinking about philosophical issues today, asked casually, "Do you know the names of Phobos and Phobos?"

"Phobos and Demos, the name of Mars is Ares, the god of war, and the names of the two satellites are the sons of Ares." Lu Di said quickly, the course of introduction to Mars is not for nothing, although he prefers Huaxia's ancient name for Mars is Yinghuo.

But that's the thing about appellation. Whoever discovers it first gets international recognition, and whoever chooses the name will be valid.

Yan Long said slowly: "These two names are 'fear' and 'panic' in Greek."

"Uh?"

Lu Di was stunned, because Mars is called Ares, and Venus is Venus. In myths and legends, these two gods also have a famous son Cupid.

So why is Cupid's half-brother the god of fear and panic?This is against the Basic Law!

Then Lu Di discovered slowly that the two satellites of Mars are brothers...

"Forget it, forget it, it's not the right time." Lu Di quickly refused, and it was strange to think about it.

And the moons of Mars look like potatoes, not as good-looking as the moon at all.

"There's no water at all." Lu Di had never seen such a dry place.

In the vision of synaesthesia, blue is missing.

The "world" was originally composed of the three primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. What is missing now is not only blue, but a color system, and the mixed colors produced by this color system and the other two color systems have all disappeared, presenting a serious situation. Unbalanced and incomplete.

As a result, the painting style of the entire "world" has changed. This strong and prominent impression seems to remind Lu Di that this is no longer the planet he is familiar with.

Not only the colors, but also the lines.

The unhindered wind seems to be the most powerful force on this planet. The energy lines symbolizing it are wild and unrestrained, randomly smeared on this single-toned picture, the background color is strong radiation, and the wind of solar particles seems to be sprinkled on The large amount of gold leaf on the screen is unnecessary, but it must stubbornly show its own sense of existence.

"...What about the voice?"

Yan Long carefully recorded Lu Di's words.

"Can't hear clearly."

Lu Di had a headache. The strings on Mars are obviously difficult to distinguish, and it is not so easy to collect data.

They stayed on the roof for three hours, during which there was nothing but sand and rocks except for the white sun.

If there is no scenery to look forward to on the road, the journey will become extraordinarily long.

Lu Di thought of the Kunlun spacecraft, space travel was more boring than Mars most of the time.

"I don't know where Suirun is."

"According to the speed of the Kunlun spacecraft, the blue planet can barely be seen after three days away from the earth, and it will completely lose the shadow of the earth after a week, unless a telescope is used. The Kunlun spacecraft was launched two days earlier than us, and now it is the first Five days should be the farewell stage."

Lu Di fell into a long silence after listening.

People stood at the porthole where they could see the space, and shed tears towards the blue planet in the distance.

No one knows where the fate of mankind will go.

"The first batch of spaceships that followed the Eden space station to leave the earth consisted of twelve ships. They were able to communicate and hear each other's voices..."

Yan Long paused for a few seconds, then said, "Strictly speaking, they are flying towards us."

Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system, so this statement is generally correct, but the details are much worse.

When these spacecraft cross the orbit of Mars, they can't "just" encounter Mars.

However, in order to save energy and reduce the speed lost due to sailing away from the sun, these spacecraft will be accurately calculated to obtain gravitational boost by orbiting Mars to complete the slingshot effect.

People on the Mars scientific research station can see the spacecraft "passing by" from their hometown.

If there is no accident, these spacecraft will not land on Mars, because it is very energy-intensive.

However, this kind of large-scale interstellar voyage is the first time in human history. Some small accidents will inevitably occur on the spacecraft, which concerns the lives of many people. The plan of various countries is to land directly on Mars in the event of a major crisis. The spacecraft is a natural science and technology. The building of the test station is not much different from living on Mars and living in space.

Of course, if the spaceship can be repaired, it should be repaired as much as possible.

"It is said that half of the second batch of spaceships are determined to land on Mars."

In addition to having no confidence in long-distance voyages, it is also to disperse risks.

Long voyage + Mars + federal space station + underground shelter, put eggs in four baskets.

"So Mars will also become lively?" Lu Di asked, crossing his arms.

Yan Long shook his head, excitement is impossible, but fighting and chaos are possible.

But that's not his concern.

"If we have a way to build more underground buildings, China's burden in this regard will be much lighter."

Cao Yan is the happiest driver so far in this article

Those two said that the cross talk was on the roof of the car, not on his head, nor in his mind

So what is Cao Yan doing?let's interview

Cao Yan: Huh?Of course, memorizing words along with the rhythm of the music, five hours is such a long time, it is good for language learning
