Chapter 974: Heading for the Valley of the Sailors

In fact, it is also a good choice to choose the construction site of the forward base near the mouth of this cave. To the northwest of the mouth of the cave is the Alcia volcano, which is more than 17,000 meters above sea level.

Based on observations of the kind of super dust storms that can sweep across Mars over the years, geoscientists have found a pattern, that is, the super dust storms that occur on Mars have a very striking resemblance to the dust storms on Earth.

And the most critical point is that the Martian super dust storm is almost the same as the direction of the Earth, from high latitudes to low latitudes.

In other words, the kind of super dust storms that occur on Mars every year, in the northern hemisphere of Mars, usually originate in the region of about 40 degrees north latitude, and then carry a huge amount of sand and dust all the way to the south, and continue to grow itself, and finally cross the Martian equator, all the way south to the high latitudes of the southern hemisphere of Mars.

At the same time, because Mars also rotates from west to east, when this super dust storm erupts, it will have a certain shift due to the rotation of Mars, resulting in this kind of dust storm will move in a northwest-southeast direction.

The massive Alsia volcano, less than a kilometer northwest of the cavern's mouth, acts like a wall to block the sharpest rays of the Martian super dust storm, minimizing the catastrophic consequences of the sandstorm.

Since he chose to build an advance base here, then Tang Feng didn't have to worry about the next things. Anyway, there are also "Prince Barnett" and several other unmanned probes that have arrived there before in the orbit around Mars. As they watch, once something happens on Mars such as a super dust storm, Han . Just as they can get the news as soon as possible.

Anyway, the rest of the work is mainly Han. Just as they were doing it, Tang Feng, the boss, planned to drive his beloved "Discovery" rover to meet with Eric. Doug. Alexander went to meet and at the same time was ready to find a suitable opportunity to show off the Nautilus.

After symbolically loading the "Discovery" rover with supplies for about three days, Tang Feng drove away from the "Kunpeng" and began a three-day "expedition".

Whether it's Han. Even if the other astronauts knew that their rich young boss was an adventurous man, he would not have invested such a huge amount of money in the manned Mars exploration program, let alone spent hundreds of millions of dollars to get himself a smoking device. And the "Discovery" rover, which is worth more than one billion dollars, is a big toy that the big boss tailor-made for himself can play happily on Mars

After the "Discovery" rover ran out at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour for more than an hour, Tang Feng calculated the elapsed time of the "Prince Barnett" overhead, and then released the "Nautilus" from space.

If you want to get in touch with Eric, you have to use the "Nautilus", so when the "Nautilus" was released, Tang Feng immediately couldn't wait to get into the inside of this big guy, and immediately got in touch with Eric, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Oh, my great master, you have finally come to Mars with your companions. I'm sorry, my honorable master, although I knew that you had arrived on Mars at the first time, I could not meet you at the first time, so I have been waiting for your contact with you, master. On the screen, Eric was as respectful as ever.

"Well, Eric, don't call me any great master in the future, that sounds awkward. Hey, I don't mean anything else, it's mainly because it makes me feel uncomfortable. Eric, in the future, you can call me Mr. Tang or Brother Tang, I like to hear such titles. ”

Tang Feng's words made Eric stunned, but in the blink of an eye, he became ecstatic. Although Eric doesn't know how much older than Tang Feng, I'm afraid that even Tang Feng's grandfather's grandfather is not as old as Eric's, but what can this be? Tang Feng was originally the new master designated by Old Man Andro to the Doug family, and now this new master actually asked Eric to call him brother, which undoubtedly put Eric in a very important position, and did not treat Eric as an outsider, how could Eric, who is familiar with the language of the earth, not be ecstatic?

"Okay, Brother Tang Tang" At first, Eric was still a little uncomfortable with this title, but as long as it was shouted in the first voice, it didn't matter in the future.

"Brother Tang, take the liberty of asking, has your star core split been settled?"

"Haha, of course, otherwise what am I doing on Mars? I have already set up the star core split yesterday, but I am afraid it will take some time to completely control this planet. ”

"Great! It's just amazing! Since the Star Core Split can be successfully placed on this planet, it means that Brother Tang's Star Core can be 100% promoted to a stellar Star Core! Brother Tang, this is definitely something to celebrate. ”

"Well, I said Eric, where are you now? How do I get to you? ”

"Oh, my dear master, oh no, Brother Tang, in fact, our base is not too far from where you are now, you just need to drive this lovely car of yours, and walk about seven hundred kilometers east to reach Mariner's Valley, where our base is located."

"Mariner's Valley? That's a nice place! Hehe, you're going to pick a place. Tang Feng smiled and teased, "Eric, you and your guys get ready, I'll arrive in the Mariner's Valley in about twelve hours, but I don't want to make me wait any longer when I get there, I hope to see you as soon as I arrive in the Mariner's Valley." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Tang, this request of yours will definitely be perfectly implemented."

"Alright, I won't say more, we'll see you in twelve hours."

Tang Feng hung up the communication, walked out of the "Nautilus", and then put the "Nautilus" into the space, and then stepped on the "Discovery" rover again, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and went straight to the Mariner Valley in the east with billowing smoke and dust.

After walking for about eleven hours, the originally flat ground began to become bumpy, and Tang Feng knew that this was because he was about to reach Mariner's Valley. It is no exaggeration to say that Mariner's Valley is the most complex area on the entire Mars, and geoscientists once believed that life was likely to exist in this canyon, which is eight kilometers deep at its deepest point.

In fact, without the guesswork of those geoscientists, Tang Feng can directly give a definite answer. Mariner's Valley is indeed a living being, and it is also an extremely advanced intelligent being. Oh, look at those guys in front of you, aren't they alien intelligent creatures who have lived in Mariner Valley for more than 10,000 years? (To be continued.) )
