doomsday exile

Chen Yan was dumbfounded.

He saw that after Lu Di touched Yan Long's "palm", the place where the two touched seemed to become transparent, and there seemed to be a strange shimmer, but when he blinked and looked carefully, there was nothing up.

Lu Di didn't know why, and couldn't help moving forward. This time, Yan Long's arm and Lu Di had a short-term "fusion" phenomenon.

No, it's not correct to say fusion, as if two transparent objects were immersed in water at the same time.

This "water" is a strange and invisible "aura" that appeared around them. In this aura, they clasped their hands and their arms were closely together.Lu Di closed his eyes, and Yan Long lowered his head as if thinking about something.

"Wait, car, car!"

Chen Yan glanced out the window and hurriedly reminded.

No one is driving!

Yan Long came back to his senses and said helplessly, "The car has stopped, this is the automatic passage."

Chen Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. The walls on both sides of the base passage were the same. He only saw the lights passing by on both sides, so he thought the vehicles were moving.In fact, sometimes it is an automatic transmission track to transport the vehicles and goods on it to a certain place.

Like a moving walkway, only much faster.

"Where are we going?"

Chen Yan immediately forgot about the abnormality between Lu Di and Yan Long, and asked excitedly.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of conveyor track leads to areas with relatively high security.

"Of course it's a place to practice cars." Yan Long replied that he didn't say anything.

Chen Yan is very used to this kind of situation. If he doesn't say anything, it means that he doesn't have the authority to know. The instructor opened a back door for him to go to a special venue to practice, but it's only limited to practice, and he can't ask more questions. , so this trip is a big deal.

Chen Yan became more and more yearning. He wanted to chat with Lu Di, but found that Lu Di was in a daze.

Still looking down at his hands in a daze.

Chen Yan: "..."

As a person with a physical body, I can't understand why it's so frustrating to touch it like this.

But Chen Yan was quick-witted, so he didn't bother Lu Di, just pretending to be a classmate and distracted in class.

Moreover, the door slowly opened in front of him, and the spectacular scenery that greeted his eyes made Chen Yan's mouth wide open, and he didn't care about it.

The crimson sand dunes, the crimson ground is bumpy, like an endless wilderness - it's just a feeling, if you look closely, you can still find that there are huge metal walls around this crimson desert, including the "sky" above your head.

"This is?"

Lu Di also came back to his senses, and he looked at the scene outside the window in surprise.

Shangdu is located on the southeast coast of China. It has the most water-scarce monsoon climate in the country. It has everything but there is no desert.

It is easy to understand that Shangdu is building shelters, research institutes and bases underground, but what does it mean to create an artificial desert?

The area of ​​the desert is not small, it is as big as several squares, and there seems to be a building in the middle of the dunes and rocks.

It was too far away, and Lu Di couldn't be sure if there was anyone there.

Lu Di subconsciously wanted to get out of the car, but felt something was wrong when he touched the wall of the armored car. The density of the car's shell was so high that he couldn't penetrate it.

Lu Di didn't bother to try, because he vaguely guessed a possibility.

"Can not Go Out?"

"...Chen Yan can't, as for you and I don't know yet."

Yan Long's words were equivalent to directly telling Lu Di the answer.

"So here's really—"

Seeing Lu Di's surprised expression, Yan Long smiled and nodded.

Chen Yan watched them play riddles, feeling very depressed.

The doors are locked. The inside and outside of this heavy-duty armored vehicle are completely isolated, and even have a circulation system that can be opened freely. This design is designed to pass through positions filled with poisonous gas, and sometimes to resist sandstorms on the Gobi.

Now Chen Yan discovered that the communication circulation system was working, and there were some things on the instrument panel that were not in the manual, which seemed to be used on the plane.

Looking at the location where the armored vehicle is sent by the transmission track, it is a "room" that is transparent on three sides. Only the side where I came from has a huge metal door. The equipment on the door looks familiar.

——How is it like a buffer room in the quarantine area?

Chen Yan, Yuan Zhongxia and the members of the special execution team all had to live in the isolation area for a few days after Yan Long "detached" to protect their brains.

But that kind of buffer room is more like for disinfection, and now this kind of room should be...

"Airlock?"

Chen Yan blurted out, and his eyes lit up.

Airlocks are generally found in diving cabins and spaceships.

Chen Yan looked at the beating numbers on the two instruments on the door, almost rubbed his hands with excitement, looked outside and asked, "This, is this a simulated space environment? Which planet?"

"Mars."

Yan Long replied.

The airlock opened at the same time, and sand and dust rushed in.

The ground is covered with sand and gravel, and is also covered with large and small broken rocks.

Yan Long regained his grip on the steering wheel, the tires of the car bumped a bit, and slowly drove into the red desert.

Lu Di looked at the window for a while, and felt that the Shangdu base... No, Huaxia was well prepared!

Mars is the closest and most easily terraformed planet to Earth.

Of course, this "easy" is only relative.

Exploring Mars and establishing bases and research institutes on Mars is an important space project that has been continuously promoted by major powers since the beginning of this century, just as scientists from various countries rushed to Antarctica hundreds of years ago.

There are currently seven research stations on Mars.

Among them, there are two in the Earth Federation, two in the United States, one in Russia, and one in China, and the remaining one was jointly built by Russia and China.

Therefore, these three countries are jokingly called on the Internet, called the Big Three in space.

Of course, the United States looks down on Huaxia.

Other countries do not agree with what the Big Three say.

Among the seven scientific research stations, Huaxia's "Tiandu" station is the smallest, with less complete facilities and no permanent staff.

Generally, a manned spacecraft is launched every year or every two or three years, and landed on a Mars scientific research ship for research. If it is long, it will be three months, and if it is short, it will stay for about a week.

The two scientific research stations stationed on Mars belong to the United States and the Earth Federation, especially the "Ares" scientific research station of the Earth Federation, which receives spacecraft and teams from other countries all the year round.After all, many countries are unwilling to spend money and effort to build scientific research stations like Huaxia. There are ready-made ones that can be used, so why are they so stupid like Huaxia?

But thinking about Huaxia's habit of doing everything by itself, and thinking about Huaxia's always passive situation in the world, the reason behind this is not so difficult to understand.Of course, understanding is understanding, and gloating is still necessary. Behind the scenes, there is a consensus that Huaxia is an unlucky guy who spends too much money.

In short, the "Mars scientific research and exploration competition" has been staged for several seasons over the years, and ordinary people who can surf the Internet and listen to the radio can talk about it with their fingers.What is the intense activity of the Martian crustal plate, what is the development and utilization of the two-level ice cap on Mars, what is the suspected discovery of solid ice underground in the mid-latitudes of Mars, and so on.

Ordinary people can only listen to the excitement. As for the extent of human research on Mars over the years, and whether Mars can be immigrated, it is still not clear at all.

Lu Di watched Yan Long skillfully driving the armored vehicle bumping forward on the gravel, and then thought that this class was "vehicle driving", and felt that he seemed to have the answer.

"Can people live on Mars for a long time?"

"The Earth Federation has set up a base on the plains of the northern hemisphere."

Yan Long said while driving, "However, the scale is limited and immigration is not allowed. Electricity and energy can only supply more than 300 people living on Mars at the same time."

Lu Di and Chen Yan were disappointed for a while.

"But once a spaceship is launched, there will always be unexpected situations. The Mars base of the Federation is not for immigration, but a dock for repairs!" Yan Long said calmly while holding the steering wheel, "Of course we, Huaxia and the other two A country with scientific research stations can have more choices.”

"Instructor Yan Long, what do you mean...the Tianzhihao scientific research station also needs to be remodeled?"

Chen Yan couldn't help looking at the scenery outside the window. Although it was a simulated surface of Mars, his hands started to itch when he thought that he could drive such a special armored vehicle in such a special environment.

"I don't know the specific situation." Yan Long avoided answering, but said, "You can test drive now."

The shell and tires of this armored vehicle are specially made, which can withstand the disaster-level sandstorm. The wheels and the vehicle body have fixed equipment, which can be put down and inserted into the ground ten meters deep through drilling holes, so that the vehicle can not be affected by the storm. Impact.

Lu Di turned on the wrist computer and inquired about the information.

"Sandstorms often occur on Mars, and the gravity is only two-fifths of that on Earth... Tsk, it's really easy to go to the sky! Even an armored vehicle with such a heavy weight is very dangerous when fighting against a storm."

"Little Brother Lu!"

Chen Yan yelled with a bitter face.

Lu Di looked up in confusion.

"I was imagining that I was on Mars, becoming a member of the scientific exploration pioneer team, and preparing to drive on a mission? But you kept reading information on the intranet, and dragged me back from my fantasy." Chen Yan said with a sad face, on Mars Where is WIFI?

Lu Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hands and said, "All right, try it, I won't talk anymore."

Yan Long let them talk nonsense, his figure "disappeared" and "appeared" in the co-pilot's seat.

After Chen Yan climbed over and grabbed the steering wheel, he continued: "The road conditions on Mars, um, are very bad. Although the northern hemisphere is dominated by plains, there are still ravines and craters. These broken rocks are also very difficult for vehicles to move forward. Big. The tires of this armored vehicle are specially designed for such extreme conditions. They have very strong grip and flexible steering. Pay attention to this dashboard when driving, it will tell you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the alarm sounded in the car.

Chen Yan turned the steering wheel instinctively, and Yan Long moved faster, directly operating the "sensing device" on the steering wheel and brakes, turning the front of the car 180 degrees dangerously, and the whole car moved out like a drift. a cut.

"..."

Chen Yan wiped off his cold sweat looking at a long and narrow ditch that suddenly appeared on the sand.

It hides under the gravel like a natural trap.

"This is just a simulated environment. The man-made ditch is only three meters deep, and our car can drive out." Yan Long said seriously, "If it is really Mars, you will die. It doesn't matter if you die. The people in the car have nothing to do with What about things?"

"I will definitely pay attention and try my best not to make mistakes." Chen Yan straightened his back and said loudly.

Lu Di hesitated and asked beside him: "... Will we really go to Mars?"

Yan Long raised his eyebrows: "How can we get this kind of scientific research project? It's just that the venue is vacant, and it's a very good extreme environment. After all, it's not realistic to find the desert and Gobi to practice driving near Shangdu. Now, as long as you pass the driving test on Mars, the desert Didn’t Gobi pass the driving test easily?”

Lu Di: "..."

Chen Yan: "..."

So it is not an illusion, the difficulty of the course has really increased.

The author has something to say: Yan Long: Find a different scenery

Yan Long: It’s better to be able to learn, and the place is novel

Yan Long: Yes, there is no one working in the research institute in the Mars simulation environment, and it is temporarily vacant... I will apply for it

Lu Di and Chen Yan stared dumbfounded at the course that suddenly increased in difficulty

I was supposed to learn how to drive a car, but now I want to learn how to drive on Mars, can you believe it?

Rename the Mars Research Station

In reality, the Mars rover is called Tianwen, so the scientific research station should take the corresponding "Tiandu"
