Chapter 16: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

The wind and sand obscured the sky and the sun, and Chen Mulin was shivering alone on the Mars rover.

The rover shook violently with the wind and sand, as if it might fall apart at any time, and there were a few times when it was almost overturned, but in the end it was still firm.

However, the sandstorm has not passed, and it is only not long before it has begun.

Fortunately, the communication in the car has not been interrupted, and being able to see the barrage of sailors is Chen Mulin's biggest comfort now, although it is not a good word.

[Barrage: Why isn't the anchor cold yet, this sandstorm is not powerful!]

[Barrage: This special effect, cowhide!]

[Barrage: The acting skills are good, and he beats all the little fresh meat, which can be regarded as old bacon. 】

[Barrage: This desperate little look is absolutely amazing. 】

[Barrage: 666, this special effect.] 】

[Barrage: It's more enjoyable than watching a sci-fi blockbuster in the United States. 】

......

was rejoicing in the cowhide of communication, and in the next second, Chen Mulin seemed to hear a strange noise, and the communication was immediately interrupted, whether it was the communication in the live broadcast room or the satellite navigation, all of them failed.

Undoubtedly, the antenna was damaged by a sandstorm.

Chen Mulin was dumbfounded.

It wouldn't be so unlucky, would it?

Even if the communication is interrupted, at most it is more lonely, but the weather radar is also out of order, which is a bit too much, and the area and velocity of the sandstorm can be known through the radar, and the time of the sandstorm can be guessed, but now it has become completely blind.

The only information that could be grasped was also lost, Chen Mulin's heart was gloomy, his heartbeat accelerated again, originally his legs trembled, but now he was trembling all over.

As the sandstorm intensifies, coupled with electromagnetic interference, the lights in the car are bright and dim, and it looks like there is a possibility of power outage at any time.

Chen Mulin was completely desperate, he turned on the car camera and began to record his last words, in order to record the existence of such a person as him in history.

Of course, it's best to be able to survive.

"Recorded on September 2nd, the Midyear Festival, and the seventh Martian day on Mars, I am the most beautiful cub on Mars, Chen Mulin. ”

"These are my last words, I went out on Mars and unfortunately encountered a super sandstorm, without any protection, only a Mars rover the size of a passenger car, and I was in a very dangerous situation, and I could die in this sandstorm at any time. ”

"Most of the instruments on the car are out of order, they have lost contact with the base, and they can't get the dynamics of the sandstorm through the weather radar, but fortunately, the air circulation system and the power system are still functioning normally, which is the most fortunate thing. ”

"Now that the sandstorm outside is getting stronger and stronger, I don't know how long the rover can last, and now I can only pray that the old man of the Buddha is long enough to be able to control me as far away as Mars. ”

"If I die, friends who land on Mars later, please remember, don't believe the instigation of sailors, I was killed by them, although you can't broadcast live here, but I still want to remind you. ”

"In the end, I forgot to hang up the flag I brought, if by the way, then please help, I was the first person to land on Mars, representing the honor of the country!"

After recording his last words, Chen Mulin turned off the camera, shrunk up the whole person, and no longer looked at how strong the sandstorm was outside, only hoping that the situation was not so bad, hoping that the rover could continue to hold on, and hoping that the sandstorm would end.

The torment is painful, the torment time is very difficult, looking up at the time, only a minute has passed, but Chen Mulin feels as if he has been here for a year, or even a century.

His mind was full of jumbled thoughts due to the fear in his heart.

Where do people go when they die?

Does Mars have an earth?

Such a strong sandstorm, there is no need to trouble people to bury it, even the coffin is saved, and even the people and cars are covered by the sand, even if someone lands on Mars at that time, I don't know if it will be discovered.

In this way, wouldn't it be in vain to record the last words?

Chen Mulin didn't dare to take off his helmet until now, and the spacesuit remained sealed, just to avoid the windshield from breaking and dying of lack of oxygen.

Although this is just in vain, if the windshield is broken, the spacesuit will not be able to withstand such a strong sandstorm at all, but as long as there is a glimmer of life, he will not give up, after all, it is only 40 kilometers away from the base, even if the rover is broken, he can walk back.

The only thing I am worried about now is whether the oxygen in the spacesuit will last until that time, and the oxygen now is only enough to breathe for an hour.

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Mulin felt that the intensity of the rover's shaking began to decrease.

He immediately looked out of the car and found that the sandstorm was not as strong as just now, and he could now faintly see a glimmer of light that had covered the sky and the sun.

Undoubtedly, the sandstorm has passed.

Chen Mulin frowned with joy, and shouted with great excitement in his heart: "Heaven will not kill me!"

Another half an hour passed, everything was calm, and the feeling of the rest of my life after the catastrophe, now looking at the calm plains, there was an illusion of the past.

Chen Mulin stepped out of the car, and the distant sandstorm could still be seen in the sky behind him, and then looked at the top of the rover, and the signal receiver was gone.

It can be seen that this sandstorm is so powerful, and I still have palpitations when I think about it now.

Chen Mulin turned around and didn't look at it again, and began to check the equipment of the rover.

Facing the last sandstorm, the signal receiver was damaged, and I didn't know what was going on in other parts.

Now Chen Mulin's only worry is power, if the power is damaged, then he really has to walk back.

What's more, there are only two rovers, one less broken one, and I don't know if the subsequent permission escalation will solve this limitation, anyway, with the current permissions, it's no fun.

After having a deeper understanding of the base, Chen Mulin was not like the first live broadcast, and he was not distressed about losing a spaceship.

Anyway, this car can be guaranteed, and if it can't be guaranteed, it will be towed back.

Chen Mulin tried to start the rover, but fortunately, there were no problems with the rover's power.

It seems to have been in the dust, except for a slight abnormal noise when it was just started, everything is normal.

In other words, in this sandstorm, only the signal receiver was damaged, and the power supply was also lost.

The manned rover has a maximum mileage of 100 kilometers, which is 40 kilometers from the base, a total of 80 kilometers round trip, and uses up 10 percent of the power when avoiding sandstorms, and the remaining power is enough to return to the base.

The biggest problem we are facing now is the damage to the signal receiver, which causes the radar and navigation to burp together.

Without the guidance of navigation, one will lose his way if he is not careful, and he will eventually die in this deserted place.

Fortunately, the direction of the sandstorm was blowing from the base, and Chen Mulin aimed the front of the car at the direction of the base when he met the storm.

Now Chen Mulin only needs to drive in a straight line to be able to return to the base.
