Chapter 742: The Highest Mountain in the Solar System
The news of William's successful landing on Mars was deliberately informed to the outside world by the space center after he had a brief exchange with the London Space Center. Flash Dance
Even if the London side wanted to hide it, they couldn't hide it, because half an hour after they informed the public, Abigail, as the representative of the Devonhill family, immediately announced the news to the public.
She and Lena, who didn't know most of the inside story, did this just to prevent anyone from messing with the construction of the second ship.
And for the people, William, as the first person to land on Mars, is definitely a hero in their eyes.
If any righteous figure dares to make trouble in taking William home, he will be 100% ousted by ordinary voters.
It's a pity that there are many things that don't need to be done openly at all, and there are too many ways to do things secretly.
For a while, the eyes of the whole world were once again on London, and hundreds of reporters and dozens of OB trucks gathered outside the space center.
Waiting for the space center to say, William will connect with the media and viewers around the world after a little preparation, and personally introduce his current situation and some situation on Mars.
Minutes and seconds ticked by, and at three o'clock in the afternoon London time, it was the brightest time of the day on Mars.
The communication was delayed for dozens of seconds before William appeared on the big screen in the conference room of the space center.
"Hi and good afternoon, I'm William Devon Hill and I'm streaming live for you guys on Mars right now".
Looking at William, who was wearing a four-style space armor with an excited expression, all the reporters at the conference and those who followed him all over the world couldn't help but stand up excitedly and applaud warmly.
Many people also shouted excitedly Long live William, which made William stop talking and nod his head with a smile.
After a quiet moment at the meeting, he continued, "I'm in the spacecraft now, so I'll give you a brief introduction to my situation, and then I'll take you out of the spacecraft to see with your own eyes what the surface of the northern hemisphere of Mars looks like."
After speaking, William picked up his helmet, picked up the spherical live broadcaster, walked out of the spaceship control room, and came to the cargo cabin with nearly twenty square meters.
After briefly explaining the situation, William said depressedly, "Everything went well during the flight to Mars, but I made a decision that now seems stupid.
In order to test the speed limit of the spacecraft, I accelerated the spacecraft seven floors and flew at a half-full load speed of 170,000 kilometers per hour.
It wasn't until today, when I manually checked the situation of the spacecraft myself, that I found that the energy consumption exceeded the monitoring of the ship's intelligent system.
By the time we arrived on Mars, we had already consumed nearly seven layers of energy."
Hearing this, most people in the world immediately understood, did this mean that the spacecraft did not have enough energy to fly back to the Blue Star?
For a while, the whole world was in an uproar, except for a limited number of people who understood that the reason for the acceleration was to avoid the pursuit of the red spider.
But only William himself understands in his heart that all this is directed and acted by himself, for the sake of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
William pretended to be scared, opened his eyes and lied, "That's right, the spaceship's existing energy is no longer enough for me to fly back to Blue Star."
Shaking his head, trying to calm himself down, he smiled reluctantly, "However, it's not without good news.
At least without thinking about the return trip, I have absolutely enough energy on Mars, and there is a lot I can do in this case.
And the second Martian spacecraft on the Blue Star, when I set off, twenty-two days ago, actually started to be built.
I just have to wait for thirty-one days to be completed and the ship to be built, plus twenty-one days of flight.
Fifty-two days later, the second spacecraft will be able to land on Mars with matter and energy.
While being rescued, the new astronauts will be able to work with me to build a simple Martian research base on Mars."
After hearing this, the space center was in an uproar, and the reporters all looked at William on the screen in shock.
Someone shouted, "God, this opens up access to the ship?"
William, who was speaking, heard this, was silent for a moment, and shrugged helplessly, "The technology is kept secret, and it has to be on the premise that I can live."
Although I don't want to speculate maliciously, there is a very real problem.
My supply 、、、".
The scene of the meeting was suddenly disconnected, and the person in charge of the space center and the command room shouted to William in surprise, panic and anger,
"Hell, are you dizzy, or are you stupid by the Martian storm, how can this kind of thing be announced to the public."
was scolded by someone, but William was secretly happy in his heart, not to mention making up for it, even if he wanted to leave, it was just a matter of opening a portal.
Besides, even if he can't show his stuff, don't forget, he has the energy core of the red spider in his hands.
Just for a reason, we can say that we have researched the use of energy core and obtained new energy.
It is not impossible to take back the escape pod and transform it into a sleeping pod, and sleep all the way back to Blue Star.
But these Williams will not say that now he deliberately revealed the lack of supplies to the public, and only needs to quietly wait for those who do not want him to return to the Blue Star to destroy the second ship under construction.
When the spacecraft is damaged or the construction progress is affected, it will not be able to reach Mars in more than 50 days.
He can use nuclear energy with the ship's engine, but in fact, it only satisfies the reason for one-tenth of the power, looking for a higher source of energy.
It is logical that Alexander Pierce, who is looking for the Snake Shield Bureau, wants the Cosmic Rubik's Cube,
Although the London Space Center cut off the video communication in the conference room, William finally talked about supplies,
As long as he's not an idiot, everyone understands that his make-up is not enough.
This made the people who had always had a deep grudge against William find an entry point to kill him.
Even some forces that have no hatred, in order not to let England rise again, can't help but start calculating,
Once William, the pride and hope of England, starved to death on Mars, it was only a matter of time before he could get the technology and wealth he left behind.
William pretended to regret it, said a few apologies with a blushing face, and said that today's video is over,
He had to take a shower and get a good night's sleep, replenish his energy, so as not to make such a low-level mistake again, so he hung up the video directly.
The video was cut off, and it was reported on Sunday, "SIR, the materials and engineering robots for the construction of the Mars base have been prepared,
All you need is to specify the coordinates of the construction of the base, and we are ready to start work."
"Hmm", William looked at the southern hemisphere of Mars that was shown on Sunday, full of three-D maps of mountains and canyons.
"I remember that the probe data said that there were glaciers in the west of Mount Olympus, the largest mountain on Mars, right?"
"Yes, SIR, according to the detection of the blue star, there are indeed traces of glaciers, but how it is, we have to send a probe to investigate the field to be sure."
"So what are you waiting for, let's go and see now",
After saying that, William opened a portal and asked Sunday to drag the remains of the Red Spider into the planet X17, and then turned on the Martian spacecraft with some excitement and flew directly to Mount Olympus, the highest volcano in the entire solar system.
