Chapter 845: Mist Project
Il was already in the command center of the base at the moment, and a picture had already appeared on the huge screen in front of him, and an overwhelming red sandstorm rushed towards the base.
"Report, the wind has reached the level of 10 winds" The monitor left and reported the data.
"Keep monitoring," Ilr said calmly, continuing to stare at the big screen.
The magnetic shield should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, and this is a matter of principle.
A lot of sand particles flew over on the big screen, and "take back the monitoring equipment" Ear said directly.
Soon, a monitoring device outside began to slowly close, and a passage opened at the base behind it, and the device slowly retreated into the passage.
The irons slowly closed.
After a short time, the sandstorm arrived, and the sound of stones hitting the metal plate could be heard, and the sound of "popping" was very rapid.
Space, inside the space station.
"Report, the Mars base of the Apocalypse Group has been completely shrouded in sandstorms, and no pictures can be observed," the staff reported to the person in charge of the space station.
The two major space stations of the United States and the Celestial Empire can only wait for news, and now they can't do anything.
At the Mars base of the Apocalypse Group, Il is still sticking to the command center, and the other personnel are in their rooms, some sleeping, some listening to songs, and some watching videos,............。
Everyone was very calm, and there was no trace of panic.
The protection of the Mars base of the Apocalypse Group is the first, there is nothing to worry about, everyone has confidence in the protection system of the base.
"Dididi" The sound of the first-level alarm came to mind, and Yir frowned.
"Turn off the siren and activate the magnetic shield," Ilr ordered directly.
The staff immediately began to operate, and the energy system of the entire base began to work at full capacity, and in just ten seconds, an invisible force field appeared.
The stone fragments from the sandstorm stopped at a distance of fifty centimeters from the base, and more were blown away by the wind.
It was as if there was an invisible arc-shaped shield enveloping the Apocalypse Group's Mars base.
Everywhere the picture passed, Il and the staff all smiled, and there was no panic in their hearts.
As long as there are no problems with the base's energy, the magnetic shield will always be there, and the wind outside will not pose any threat to the base even if it increases by a few levels.
Forty minutes passed slowly, and the staff reported that "there are signs of weakening in the wind".
"Activate the Mist Plan, close the magnetic shield and protective forces in Area F, and completely block Area F," Ilr ordered directly.
The Mist Project is a plan made within the Apocalypse Group to confuse everyone.
Storms on Mars are common, and there have been fewer storms in recent years, but this is a cycle, and storms will slowly enter a period of frequent.
If the storm is too destructive and the magnetic shield needs to be activated, you must be prepared to confuse everyone.
A special area is set up, without any protection, to withstand the ravages of major storms.
After the Great Storm retreats, you can expose the picture and let the other Mars bases understand that the Mars Base of the Apocalypse Group, like you, does not have the strength to resist the Great Storm.
As the Mars program progresses step by step, the strength has come up, and there is no need to care about other people's opinions at that time.
Soon, the protection system in Area F was abolished, and the metal door isolated the entire Area F, and in about two minutes, the sandstorm completely lifted Area F.
The discarded equipment and some debris placed here were all shredded by the sandstorm, which can be described as a mess.
Time passed slowly, and the sandstorm abated a lot.
"Turn off the magnetic shield," Ilr ordered again.
The staff got busy, gradually reducing the energy supply, and the magnetic shield began to slowly disappear.
Slowly disappearing is the best way, it is good for the equipment and the base, and it will take about five minutes for the magnetic shield to disappear completely.
After another hour or so, the sandstorm calmed down.
Looking from outer space, the entire Mars base of the Apocalypse Group was buried with sand and rubble, and one area of it was completely destroyed.
Broken equipment parts were scattered everywhere, and it was a miserable situation.
Seeing this picture in space, everyone was silent, and the expression on their faces was very solemn.
The Mars base of the Apocalypse Group resisted this wave of sandstorms, but it also suffered heavy losses.
If it is replaced by other bases, will it be completely erased, when this picture appeared in the minds of these people, everyone was trembling.
I don't dare to think about it anymore.
Early this morning, the official website of the Apocalypse Group, the official website of the Apocalypse Space Group, released more than 100 photos, all of which were photos of the damage to the Mars base of the Apocalypse Group.
The story of the Martian dust storm was described in detail, and fortunately there were no casualties.
Apocalypse Group calls on those companies that have established bases on Mars to increase investment in Mars bases, and it is necessary to spend five or six billion euros.
The Apocalypse Group spent more than 60 billion euros to avoid casualties, but not to keep the base intact.
If you don't put that much into it, don't send astronauts to Mars, it's too dangerous.
The media also began to frantically forward the report, and everyone who saw the news couldn't help but exclaim, that kind of picture is really too miserable.
Many people were relieved to see that there were no casualties.
Finally, seeing the appeal issued by the Apocalypse Group, many people deeply sympathize.
If it can't reach the protective power of the Apocalypse Group, sending astronauts to the past is completely sending them to death.
Soon, calls for comprehensively strengthening the protective capabilities of the Mars base began to appear, and it was also a request to take the Mars base of the Apocalypse Group as the standard.
This makes a lot of people's eggs hurt.
Old Dupont looked at the voices of these people with a look of contempt.
"A group of brain-dead, more than 60 billion euros can build a starship, all invested in the protection of the Martian base, it is a waste"
"It's been a few years, and there has only been a sandstorm, is it necessary to be so nervous?" said old DuPont to himself, not taking this kind of thing to heart at all.
Within a few days, the elder DuPont, Musk and others issued statements, saying that they would strengthen the defense of the Mars base, and the company would allocate funds for transfer.
Life is priceless and worth it no matter how much it costs.
The slogans were shouted loudly, but the actual actions were not at all, and it was a waste to spend funds on this.
The two were surprisingly on the same page.
The national-level Mars base has made some changes and allocated a sum of money to strengthen the base's protection when the spacecraft goes to Mars next time.
Many people with a heart were relieved to see the tragic situation of the Mars base of the Apocalypse Group.
The Apocalypse Group's vigorous development of the Mars base has eased the pressure on these people a lot.
Let the Apocalypse Group continue to invest, maybe the next Martian sandstorm will be able to uproot the Martian base, and all the investment will be wasted.
None of them themselves noticed that their wariness of the Apocalypse Group was waning.
Even those who have a heart are not worried about the Apocalypse Group's vigorous development of the Mars base.
A single sandstorm can cause so much damage that once the most terrifying storm on Mars appears, uprooting these Martian bases is not a problem at all.
There is no need to care about the large-scale development of Mars by the Apocalypse Group.
Some people even hope that the Apocalypse Group will continue to increase investment, and in a few years, the big storm will make the Apocalypse Group lose all its money.
There is a kind of psychology of all kinds.
This also indirectly shows that the fog plan has worked, and the loss is only a hundred thousand euros, but the effect achieved is quite amazing.
On this day, the British side announced that the Mars base plan was postponed for half a year, and the government asked the relevant agencies to redesign the drawings and must ensure that the base can withstand sandstorms of this scale.
If this design is not completed, the issue of establishing a base on Mars will not be considered for the time being.
Because, the lives of astronauts are more important.
After the news was released, it even received unanimous praise in the UK, which surprised the bigwigs.
The reason for the release of this news is that I am really worried about the big storm on Mars, and second, the preparations in other aspects are not in place, and the funds are a little tight.
It was announced in order to delay time, but I didn't expect it to have this effect, which is a little surprising.
Celestial Empire, Xu Ping'an looked at the information collected by Xing Ling on the computer, and nodded slowly, the fog plan is effective, this is certain.
In the future, even if the Apocalypse Group moves a little more on the Mars base, those people can accept it.
A smile slowly appeared on Xu Ping'an's face.
"Xingling, to what extent has the internal review been carried out" Xu Ping'an asked directly, his thinking jumping quickly.
"It will take about three months to complete," Star Spirit replied directly.
"Speed up, strive for results within two months, this year is coming to an end, I hope that at the end of this year, we can start an action to clean up all these people from the Apocalypse Group," Xu Ping'an said directly.
"Okay," the star spirit agreed, and then fell silent.
Time passed day by day, and James of Aderlius Island had prepared a batch of materials for the reconstruction of the Mars base, which could be shipped when the Earth returned in more than 20 days.
On this day, a starship returned to Earth, not from the Apocalypse Group, but from the Celestial Empire's Enterprise.
The alliance has reached an agreement to focus on building a joint Mars base, and this time Enterprise will return, and when it sets off again, it will be accompanied by a hundred astronauts to Mars.
After some more time, the Apocalypse Group's Earth-starship returned, and began to maintain on the island of Adrius.
At this time, a discordant voice appeared, and the YD country and Canada joined more than a dozen countries to put forward a bill at the United Nations to establish a joint Mars base.
Countries that do not have the capacity to build a Mars base should also have the right to exploit Mars.
The cost is shared by countries across the globe.
