Chapter 60: New Equipment
170th Martian day, morning.
Today, as usual, Chen Mulin was awakened by the alarm clock, and when he was about to start broadcasting, he received an unexpected message.
That message came from the unmanned rover No. 2, and he lost the signal from the unmanned rover No. 2.
There was no specific fault indication and no warning, and the signal was interrupted suddenly.
Chen Mulin also tried to connect.
However, no matter how Chen Mulin operated, he repeatedly watched the last images of the No. 2 unmanned rover many times, but he still could not know the specific reason for the loss of signal.
The only evidence is that the final image of the unmanned rover 2 suddenly shook violently for a few seconds, and finally the signal was interrupted.
Based on this, it is speculated that the unmanned rover No. 2 is very likely to have been attacked by unknown creatures.
In order to find out the truth, Chen Mulin decided to go to investigate in person.
Anyway, it's a pain in the idle now, everything is starting to fall into place, and it's time for a thrilling adventure.
Chen Mulin was very excited, this is a rare opportunity, maybe he can really find Martian creatures.
If this had been changed before, Chen Mulin would never have this kind of performance, all thanks to Mars Technology.
A month ago, Xuannu spent three days successfully cracking Martian technology, and it took half a month to absorb Martian technology.
Don't underestimate the technical content just because it's just a tent, it's definitely a huge breakthrough for the existing technology.
The first is energy.
The platform technology equipped with crystals has been completely cracked, and it also has the ability to build platforms, as long as there are materials, there are as many platforms equipped with energy crystals.
With this new energy source, the restrictions on Mars are significantly reduced.
For example, the power reserve of a manned rover can only travel a maximum of 100 kilometers, after which it has to stop and charge, and it has to be heated overnight, so it can be said that 100 kilometers a day is already its limit.
With the manned rover equipped with a crystal platform, all this will be a thing of the past.
The energy contained in the crystal is enough for the rover to drive uninterrupted for a year, and it is still at full speed, which is still what the thumb-sized crystal in Chen Mulin's hand can do, and he may have a larger crystal in the future.
Because of the new energy, Chen Mulin also modified the rover to increase the speed to 100 kilometers to make it more convenient to travel.
In addition to the manned rover, Chen Mulin also sealed the original spacesuit and built it from scratch.
The original spacesuit was too bulky, and when you put it on, you would be a big fat man, with limited mobility, and it was very impatient.
If it was just an ordinary space mission, it would be fine, basically enough, but now it is obviously different.
Since the discovery of the Martian chicken butt, new traces of life have been discovered again and again, proving the existence of life on Mars.
It's not just Martians, there may be Martian beasts as well.
The former is good to say, at least there is the possibility of communication, and the latter is equivalent to playing with life when encountered, and no one can guarantee safety.
In this way, a sturdy and functional spacesuit is necessary.
Chen Mulin's new spacesuit is made of the same material as the Martian tent, and it is also an improved version, which is not only lightweight, but also very strong, and ordinary sharp objects cannot penetrate at all.
In addition, it has a strong heating function, even at night outside will not be frozen, much stronger than the original spacesuit.
Then there is the issue of oxygen, the original spacesuit can last for three hours, and after three hours it must be returned to oxygenation.
Now it's different, the new spacesuit uses the same oxygen tank as the Martian tent, only the size of the No. 5 battery, but it can last three days of oxygen, and Chen Mulin has five more.
Finally, Chen Mulin also added an auxiliary exoskeleton to the spacesuit, that is, a mechanical exoskeleton.
Without weapons, the mechanical exoskeleton can provide itself with an additional means of self-defense, even if it does not need to be used to lift heavy objects the next time it is buried.
The most important thing is that with the assistance of a mechanical exoskeleton, it is fast when you run!
If this was done before, it would be unimaginable, even if it was hard to install an exoskeleton, it would have to carry a large battery, and it would not last long before it broke down.
It's all thanks to the Energy Crystal, as well as the corresponding Martian technology.
It's just a pity that there is only one energy crystal at present, and it is really gone when it is used up, and when it is used, it has to be dismantled and dismantled, which is very troublesome.
If there is anything that Chen Mulin is most looking forward to discovering now, it must be the place where the energy crystal is produced.
Of course, this is all unavoidable, and the important thing now is to start early, go early and return early.
……
As soon as he got up, he received such a message, and Chen Mulin still hasn't washed up, let alone other things.
He quickly washed up briefly, and then routinely checked the operation of all the equipment in the base.
These are inevitable, as long as you are still in the base for a day, you can't relax, as long as there is a problem in one link, it may lead to various effects.
Then, he began to specify the route and plan of the trip, as well as the weather conditions of the route, the time required for the whole journey, how many supplies he needed to prepare, and so on.
After the materials were loaded and all the preparations were made, Chen Mulin started the broadcast and informed the sailors of the trip plan this time.
