Transforming the Martian atmosphere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It sounds like a millennium project.

It is not only the oxygen content in the atmosphere that needs to be solved, but also the introduction of greenhouse gases to increase the thickness of the atmosphere, and at the same time find alternatives to the geomagnetic field to prevent the newly created atmosphere from being blown away by the solar wind.

Moreover, Jiang Chen's positioning of Mars was originally the arsenal of the Earth fleet, and for him, the attraction of transforming Mars into a terrestrial planet was not great.

But then again, Verdale Taylor's words finally reminded Jiang Chen.

When he first arrived at the underground ruins, he seemed to have observed from the drone's air monitoring element that the oxygen content in the ruins was higher than that on the surface of Mars.

At first, he thought that this was the state of the Martian atmosphere 3.7 billion years ago, but he ignored that it was several kilometers underground......

After reporting the progress of his research to Jiang Chen, Verdale Taylor even excitedly applied to him for a flight to Mars, but Jiang Chen decisively refused.

Perhaps these scientists are ready to dedicate their lives to the cause of science, but he cannot afford to risk the loss of such a scientist.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy.

It can be said that when the Transwarp Trade was still immersed in farming, these more than fifty scientists were already at the forefront of resisting the invasion of the harmonious civilization. Each point they know more about biological civilization will give the Earth Defense Alliance a better chance of winning in the decisive battle.

What's more, before the Martian ruins were developed, it was impossible for Jiang Chen to send any uncontrolled factors to Mars.

Verdale Taylor is a German after all, and he represents the German government, not the New Nation or the Transwarp Trade.

In the end, Jiang Chen proposed a compromise plan, that is, to find a way to get more specimens of devil bugs from the Martian colony and send them back.

According to Captain Hong Zewei, the manager of the Mars colony, there seem to be a lot of this bug near the 071 mine? As long as the infantry is not allowed to get out of the vehicle, and the specimen is recovered with vehicles and robots as much as possible, the danger should not be great.

At the same time, Jiang Chen also sent a text message to Kerrwin, asking him to instruct the staff of the Martian colony to pay attention to whether there is the geological structure of the "oxygen supply layer" in the strata of Mars, which was guessed by the biologist Verdale Taylor.

If so, the anaerobic fungi that grow in the oxygen supply layer will be another great discovery that will cause a sensation in the academic community......

If things go well.

……

Martian colony.

Rolling yellow sand raged on the desert.

Several greenhouse-like buildings that were originally located near the colonial cabin have now been arched into a mess.

Standing in the captain's room, Hong Zewei looked at the ruins outside the window and sighed with a headache.

As for what's going on with the ruins outside.

It all started with a "stupid" order......

Four days earlier, the Marines had again been on duty from the colony.

This time, after careful planning, they drove their infantry vehicles to a distant stop near the 071 mine. Immediately afterwards they hooked the car with a remote control. The devil worm was lured out of the ground, and then the explosives of the remote control car were detonated, killing the two devil bugs far away.

At the request of the Space Command Center, they tied up the corpses of the two devil bugs with hook locks and dragged the two fresh specimens back to the Martian colony.

Over the next two days, they killed a total of ten devil bugs.

Just when they thought these bugs were nothing more than that.

Eventually, they succeeded in infuriating the monsters.

The ruins outside the colony are the most visible example.

The well-behaved devil worm no longer bites those remote-controlled cars, and even the infantry vehicles that can't gnaw don't move. Following the smell of their own blood, they tracked down the Martian colony. And then, the bugs were shocked by what they saw.

For more than three billion years, there has not been any living thing on the surface of Mars, so much so that they have completely forgotten that the surface exists. Now, however, they have been surprised to find so many neighbors on the surface of the otherwise barren ground that they have survived by eating fungi and other arthropods underground.

The floor of the colonial pod was too thick, and it was certain that they couldn't drill.

However, other buildings other than the Colony Pod were not so lucky.

The farm greenhouses of the Martian colony have been drilled countless holes, and the newly built Martian pasture has been turned into ruins, and the crops and livestock in it have been eaten without suspense.

If it weren't for the fact that the colony wisely did not put all its eggs in one basket, and still kept the indoor breeding center in the colonial cabin and the open-air farm on top of the colonial cabin, I am afraid that the future rations of the more than 500 colonists in the colony would have been in question.

Luckily, these devil bugs are only interested in animate creatures, otherwise the brine desalination device would be in big trouble.

As if they had discovered a new continent, they would come here every day to see if any new prey had appeared.

Now not to mention normal work, even the normal travel of the staff in the colony has become a problem. With the exception of the Marines, all work involving outdoor activities was terminated.

No one knows where those bugs will come from, and no one dares to bet on whether they are there.

"The study of the 071 mine site was a bad decision, and if we hadn't woken those monsters out of the depths, we would have been fine." A blonde white woman stood in front of the Marine and said in an agitated tone, "And now, everyone's work has been affected!" ”

She is a colleague of Jaime and belongs to the staff of Future Man Mining. For the employees of the Future People Group, these marines are quite polite. But an order is an order, and no one standing in their way can change that.

"You go and explain this to the headquarters, Star Ring City needs more specimens, and we follow the orders of the headquarters to attend." Buckling the last button of the exoskeleton, Zhang Hai checked the safety on the Gauss rifle and gestured to the fighters behind him, bypassing the white woman.

Zhang Hai is the captain of this Marine Corps, and he has been directing the operations these days.

He was well aware of the unease that had permeated the colony lately, and he knew why.

For the bugs that suddenly emerged from the ground, he didn't feel very good either. No one knew better than he how annoying and intractable these bugs were, with soldiers already dead on the line and a brother lying in the emergency room being treated for limb regeneration.

Perhaps only by waiting for reinforcements to arrive can the tensions in the colony be eased?

However, Zhang Hai estimated that even if the expeditionary force arrived, it would probably be enough.

Those bugs won't fight you head-on, they're like seagulls skimming across the water, and they're going to leave with a single blow, and they won't stay on the surface at all. Even if more Marines landed on Mars, what would they do if they couldn't burrow?

However, at this moment, Zhang Hai, who was about to board the infantry vehicle, saw the [Mission Termination] icon appear on the AR screen of the helmet.

It's not just him who sees the icon.

The other six Marines who were already in front of the infantry vehicle and ready to go also saw it.

"Mission canceled? What's going on? ”

"I don't know ......"

"It's an order from the Space Command Center."

Just when Zhang Hai frowned, ready to connect to the captain's room and ask Hong Zewei if he wanted to continue today's mission, an exclamation sounded in his ears.

"Wait...... Look at the heavens! What is that! ”

Hearing that exclamation, Zhang Hai raised his head sharply and looked at the line of sight of his comrades.

Through the transparent graphene dome, I saw black shadows emerging from the sky above the colony one after another. It's like a meteor shower descending from the sky, gradually enlarging in everyone's surprising sight.

"Reinforcements?" With a hint of surprise, someone asked in a whisper.

"Shet, they're finally here!" One soldier said with relief.

It's reinforcements!

Zhang Hai's face also showed a slight hint of emotion.

The transport, which was carrying a thousand Marines, has finally reached the Mars synchronous orbit!

Although he didn't think that these people could make much of a difference to the situation on Mars, even he couldn't deny that it was a great boost to the morale of the colonies.

And at this point, a stone that weighed on his heart was finally unloaded.

In the days to come, at least he and his people will not have to fight alone.
