Chapter 968: Acting Alone
When they actually stood on this planet, everyone felt that they had imprinted their footprints on another planet, and it felt so magical.
This is Mars, the Mars that mankind has dreamed of conquering for decades!
In the past, humans could only observe the red planet through unmanned probes, but now, the earthlings have finally landed on this planet. The most important thing is that if this Red Planet really becomes a planet for human immigrants in the future, then this group of people will be the pioneers of alien immigration to the earth, which is definitely a glory that can be remembered in history!
The surface of Mars is much better than that of the Moon, and it is undoubtedly much better than the dead Moon.
Just four hours before Tang Feng and his landing, a super dust storm that swept half of Mars had just ended, and Tang Feng and the others also enjoyed this super storm at close range on the "Prince Barnett", which could not be seen on Earth at all.
Although the surface area of Mars is only equivalent to the total land area of the Earth, it is also a huge area of nearly 150 million square kilometers, and how big is the largest dust storm on Earth? If it can sweep through two or three million square kilometers, it can be regarded as a super sandstorm. But compared to this sandstorm on Mars, it is really the gap between the fireflies and the bright moon
However, this kind of dust storm is not the largest on Mars, which can erupt once or twice a year and can sweep the whole of Mars, and the outbreak time usually lasts for several months. When this super dust storm that sweeps across Mars erupts, the dust raised on the surface of Mars can even rise to an altitude of 60 kilometers, enveloping the whole of Mars in a cloud of red dust.
Tang Feng chose a good time to land on Mars, missing the time period when the super dust storm is most likely to erupt. But even so, there is a high probability that a sandstorm like the one that has just ended and can sweep through half of Mars and last for several weeks will erupt.
Because the sandstorm has just ended, the wind is still strong on Mars, and the sky is still filled with a faint amount of dust, making the sun in the sky look dull.
This super dust storm is definitely the killer of the Mars landing team, and if this super dust storm is encountered during the Mars landing, then there is no other way but the team must abandon the scientific research mission and return to the "Prince Barnett" on two landing ships.
Of course, you can not go, and if you don't, then you will stay on Mars forever. Because even the brackets of the two landing ships cannot resist the wind of the Martian super dust storm, and 100% will be blown over by this super dust storm.
Just like the blockbuster "The Martian" released in 2015, the Martian scientific expedition team at that time had to give up the scientific expedition mission because of the arrival of the sandstorm and escaped on a landing rocket.
In fact, if the wind speed is below 60 m/s, the small sandstorm can be supported by the alloy support of the "Kunpeng" and "Eagle Falcon", but once the wind speed of the sandstorm exceeds this limit, then Tang Feng and the others must interrupt the investigation and return to the "Prince Barnett".
Now Tang Feng is praying that there will be no more super sandstorms in the next 32 days.
It's just that no one knows when God will change his face, so although he has successfully landed on Mars, the actual time is still very short.
So after a simple celebration, the group of people got busy. After all, there are still a lot of supplies on the two landing ships, and Tang Feng's task is to transport these materials first, and then choose a suitable location to build the first forward base for humans on Mars.
It took four or five hours of busy work for Tang Feng and the others to unload the supplies on the two landing ships. Fortunately, these materials can be loaded and unloaded by elevators, otherwise these dozens of tons of materials are really not something that they can play.
When these supplies are unloaded, the sun has begun to sink in the west, and the cold Martian night is approaching.
Mars, like the Earth, rotates from west to east, so when you see the sun on Mars, it also rises in the east and sets in the west. Tang Feng landed close to the orbit of Mars, so during the day, the temperature in this area can reach minus close to 20 degrees, but at night, the temperature here immediately drops to minus 80 degrees, which is colder than the cold season of the South Pole of the Earth
There is no way, the density of the Martian atmosphere is too small, and the total amount of carbon dioxide is not large, so the temperature of the Martian surface cannot be guaranteed, so this phenomenon of large temperature difference between day and night is caused.
On the night of Mars, Tang Feng and the others must return to the landing ship, and if they stay outside, before the forward base is repaired, it will be looking for death.
However, Tang Feng didn't want to waste this good time at night, not to mention that the new spacesuit was enough to help the astronauts resist the ultra-low temperature for more than eight hours, just talking about the "Discovery" rover, as long as there was nothing wrong, it was enough for the astronauts to spend the cold Martian night comfortably inside.
"This won't work! Boss, if you do this, you're disobeying orders. And it's too dangerous! When Tang Feng said that he wanted to take advantage of the night time to drive the "Discovery" rover to find the site of the construction base, he was unanimously opposed by everyone. Zheng even began to exercise the duties of the commander, and directly vetoed Tang Feng's proposal to go out.
Tang Feng knew that these people were all for their own good, but they didn't know the hole cards in their hands, not to mention anything else, just a "Nautilus" was enough to put themselves in absolute safety.
So Tang Feng said with a smile: "Brother Han, I know that you are for my safety, but don't forget, I not only have a new spacesuit, but also an Exploration rover." It's not like I haven't tried the Discovery rover on the moon. The night temperature on the moon is much lower than the night on Mars, have you forgotten, Brother Han, it was the two of us who tested the function of the Discovery rover on the moon for a night, isn't there nothing at all? ”
Tang Feng's words refuted everyone couldn't speak. Indeed, when the third moon landing, Tang Feng and Han. It was just sitting on the "Discovery" that spent the whole night on the surface of the moon, and the "Discovery's" excellent air-conditioning system also ensured the absolute safety of the two people.
"Alright, that's it! Don't forget, I'm the big boss! Tang Feng said with a smile, "You are all tired these days, take advantage of tonight to have a good night's rest." I've been pumping soy sauce all the way on the road, so it's time for me to come out for the event. Well, that's it, when the sun rises tomorrow, I promise I'll be back here, big guys, don't worry.
