Chapter 14: One Small Step
It is rare to untie all the water bags, and the feeling of weight disappears suddenly, and the whole body is relaxed.
The child's weight-bearing is not conducive to development, but the situation is special, Su Beidou was born on Mars, the muscle strength is too weak, I thought that the body is stronger, and the hope of returning to the earth smoothly is greater, I never thought that it would be more than three years to wear it, and the height of the pressure still jumped up.
If he hadn't taken this measure, maybe he would be taller and thinner now, gravity is too small, and the effect of exercise is better than nothing.
When the grandfather's Su Yi is rich, he is also willing to spend money on his grandson, the light and thin material outing clothes have already been done, according to the size of the two sets of them at that time, the adjustable function has been added, the helmet has not been worn, and it looks looser on the body, just like a loose version of the motorcycle suit, the color is orange-red, and it is impermeable.
Light has the advantage of being light, and it is more convenient during activities, but the use time cannot be compared with the thick spacesuit that is loaded with a lot of equipment and energy, and can only be used for about an hour if the oxygen production raw materials are not supplemented.
After putting on the helmet and getting feedback that the sealing condition was normal, Su Beidou made an OK gesture to his mother, and left the hatch together, and the car was parked not far away, and he could get in the car at any time to go for a ride.
The people in the base are watching.
On Earth, after some people get the news, they are also watching the pictures on Mars in a delay, and there are communication base stations along the way, and it takes about four minutes for the news to be transmitted from Mars to Earth.
It can be said that Su Beidou is many of them, who have witnessed growing up little by little, and some people have learned that they have been born for more than five years, and they can finally leave the base and really step on the land of Mars, for some reason, they even have the urge to cry.
Maybe it's because I think this little guy is pitiful, he can't feel the sunshine and rain, like a sea creature locked in a pool, people may envy other descendants of rich people who have not worried about food and clothing since childhood, but Su Beidou is by no means on that list.
This is inseparable from the media reports, because people pay attention to him, so since he was born, there have been reports describing Su Beidou's health from time to time, and at the same time, it will also be said that he may only be born on Mars, die on Mars, and so on......
On Earth, more and more people have gotten the news and have opened the official website of the God of War Mars Exploration Company and entered it to check the progress.
I saw Su Beidou standing at the door of the cabin, with the metal ground under his feet, and when he took a step out, he could step on the sand, gravel and soil of Mars.
However, Su Beidou hesitated.
Ever since I became conscious, I have thought about going out countless times, but more often than not, I just leaned on the window and looked out.
Watch the alternation of day and night, watch the wind and sand sweep through the base, watch the members of the team come and go, land the landing capsule, and return to the orbit of Mars more than a year later, leaving the earth.
I know that even if I go out, I will be on Mars, and what I see in my field of vision is no different from what I see in the base, but I still want to go out and walk, and I miss the feeling of freedom without constraints, and it would be great if there were green trees and flowers.
I've told my parents more than once that I want to come out, but each time I get the same answer - you can't go out until you're older.
More than five years old is definitely not a big up, in comparison, the physical fitness is much better than when I was a child, seeing the small stones that stay quietly outside the base, the edges and corners have long been smoothed by the wind and sand, time, to a dead planet itself, is really meaningless.
Su Beidou didn't know that there were people on the other side of the earth who were watching him, and he didn't know that the number of followers had quickly exceeded 200 million people, and the number was still increasing, and they wanted to witness the growth of this little guy.
There is a movie in history called "Truman's World", and those people think that Su Beidou is no different from Truman in the movie, although it looks good, it is also full of touching tragedy.
After all, it is not even clear whether Su Beidou can return to the earth and grow up alive, and many people still remember what kind of surprise and sensation the world was when they learned that he was born five years ago.
His passport, which until now remains at the headquarters of the Mars Alliance, records a major step in human history.
Seeing that he stopped.
The eyes of hundreds of millions of people are staring at the screen, and on Mars, Zhao Xin, who is a mother, is standing outside the God of War base, wearing a thick spacesuit, and she is not in a hurry to urge.
Thinking that her son has grown so big and has been trapped in the base all the time, her eyes instantly moistened, who is a mother who doesn't want her child to grow up happily and have everything wonderful in the world?
In her opinion, her son has too little, and he doesn't seem to be so happy, so she specially talked to the team leader surnamed Song, and offered to take her son out, wanting to walk outside and take a look at the scenery around the base.
Su Baichuan, who is a father, is unwilling to miss this kind of scene.
At this moment, his companions also stopped drilling and sampling, and gathered into the car to watch Su Beidou standing at the door.
To be honest, for a moment, Su Beidou almost forgot how to walk, and after lifting his legs, he could feel the heaviness, and the spacesuit, which was more than eight kilograms, was almost one-third of his own weight.
After the feet are lifted and fallen, the soles are relatively thick, and you can't feel anything, and when your feet come out, you can smile brightly, and you have the feeling that your dream has been realized, and you wave your hand to your mother with a smile on your face.
I saw this through the screen.
Su Baichuan, who was a father, instantly swelled up with heat in his heart, and the depression that had accumulated over time because he couldn't return to Earth was swept away.
On the earth, Old Man Su sat on the balcony on the second floor, with the picture of leaving the cabin in his hand, and while he was determined to hug his grandson with his own hands, he beckoned the housekeeper to come over with a bottle of good wine that had been treasured for many years.
There are countless strangers who don't know Su Beidou, people of all colors and countries, clapping and laughing for Su Beidou's small steps, which is a major event that can be recorded in human history, and they have witnessed it.
It is also necessary to see things through the screen, with the top of his head orbiting Mars three times a day and a height of only about 6,000 kilometers, Su Beidou raised his head to look at the irregular shadow, then trotted forward a few steps, turned around and looked at the base where he had lived for more than five years.
White with orange-red stripes with red flags and the names of several companies emblazoned.
No way, the company spends a lot of money, as long as there is an opportunity to make money, it will never let go, the advertisements are all on Mars, and even the landing and return capsule has the name of the company and the product, two of which make Su Beidou feel familiar, as if he has seen it at any time, but he can't remember it for a while, and he feels that the logo and name are familiar.
The whole base is composed of a section and a half cylinder, after more than ten years of wind and sand baptism, the surface is pitted, which does not affect the use.
Su Beidou stood there, in a good mood, he had too little since he was a child, and a little change was worth rejoicing......
