It's just that Tang Feng spent half a night surveying the main cave, but it was finally denied.

"Boss, this place you chose, to be honest, really good! If it were me, I would have chosen the location where this cave was currently built. It's a pity that our forward base must not be built in this cave this time. "Han. He said apologetically.

Tang Feng stayed in this underground cave for half a night, and in the end there was really nothing to investigate, so he climbed up along the rope and slept in the "Discovery" Mars rover for half a night.

Early the next morning, Tang Feng put Han. Just when they called this cave to investigate, don't say, Han. They were also amazed by the wonders of this cave. It was only after a thorough investigation of the cave that Han. It was made very clear that this cave was not suitable for the location of the base for this advance.

"I said, Brother Han, this is a good place that I spent all night working hard to find. Look at it, how great these conditions are, the constant temperature, and not the red worry about the invasion of super sandstorms, where to find such a good place on Mars? Tang Feng was a little reluctant.

Although Tang Feng is the boss, he is not a boss who dictates everything. Tang Feng knew very well what the phrase "specialization in the art industry meant" meant, and Tang Feng would never interfere in some very professional things.

It's like the choice of the location for the construction of the forward base, this is a very professional matter, Tang Feng doesn't understand this aspect, so he must follow the orders of experts.

This is not like driving the "Discovery" rover on Mars at night, the choice of the construction site of the Mars forward base is related to the development of the manned Mars exploration program in the future, and it is an extremely serious issue.

George. Anthony smiled and patted Tang Feng's shoulder, and said to Tang Feng, who was not giving up: "Tyrant, the place you chose is amazing, really, really great." As you just said, constant temperature, and without taking into account the invasion of sandstorms, this kind of condition is really nowhere to be found on Mars at the moment. It's just that it is impossible to build an advance base here this time, because our conditions do not allow it. ”

Hearing this, Tang Feng opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

George. Anthony, as the oldest and most experienced big brother in the team, continued: "Tyrant, do you know how much supplies we brought this time? Do you know what kind of forward base these supplies will be built into? Do you know how we get these supplies to be transported? ”

Tang Feng shook his head, he really didn't care about these things. With the body of a star core, how could he care about these things?

"Tyrant, the supplies we brought here this time are only enough for us to build a small forward base 28 meters long and 12 meters wide at a suitable location on the surface of Mars. These materials have been rigorously designed, how to transport, how to combine and build, are all determined by precise calculations. It's just that these materials are designed according to the idea of building an advance base on the surface of Mars, that is, these materials can only allow us to build an advance base on the surface of Mars. If we were to build the forward base deep in that cavern, it would be a great option, but we don't have the ability to build there. ”

Hear George. Anthony said this, and Tang Feng realized that he had taken it for granted.

Underground caves are very good, but how do you get there? Do you want to let these guys carry it on their shoulders? Oh my God, that's impossible! Although Tang Feng didn't know what was in those materials, he also knew that in those materials, the materials used to make flooring alone were whole pieces, and although they could be folded, they could not be disassembled. And such a room-sized floor is almost more than 400 kilograms, how do you let people carry it? How to carry it?

"And, Tyrant, even if we can get these supplies down to the cavern, how can we solve the power problem? Although there are dozens of nuclear batteries in the base, the nuclear batteries are all backup energy sources, and we still rely on solar energy for our usual electricity. If we build the base at the bottom of the cave, how can we solve this cable line that is hundreds of meters long? We don't have any extra cables."

George. Anthony's words once again caused a black line to appear on Tang Feng's forehead. Damn, it's really too simple, it seems that such a good location can only be left for the next landing on Mars to build a base.

"Well, George, I'll admit I'm thinking too simply, so where should we build this forward base according to you?" Tang Feng asked.

George. Anthony looked at Han. Just, this pair of two commanders made eye contact, George. Anthony said, "Tyrant, in fact, this cave you discovered gives us a better choice of location to build a base, and that is near the mouth of this cave. ”

After a pause, George. Anthony pointed to the huge cave and continued: "Tyrant, the conditions inside the cave are indeed very good, if possible, the next time we come to Mars, we can be prepared, and then build a larger forward base in this cave." So, for the next trip to Mars, I think we can lay the foundation for the next cave base by building the first forward base near the mouth of this cave. ”

Tang Feng nodded in agreement, he also understood that if he really planned to build a large base in this cave next time, then there must be a temporary command post to build a cave base, so this forward base built this time is undoubtedly an excellent choice, which can save a lot of valuable time and physical strength for the astronauts who build a large base next time.

Han on the side. Zheng said: "Boss, in fact, I have discussed with George just now, and we both agreed that it is most appropriate to build this forward base near the mouth of the cave. And I'm also going to change some of the missions on this trip to Mars, since we are preparing for the next big cave base, then we have to make corresponding achievements. So I plan to focus more on this cave than the necessary scientific research projects. We need to calculate how much supplies, manpower, and equipment will be needed to build a large base in this cavern in order to be fully prepared for the next trip to Mars. ”

Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said, "Brother Han, you can arrange this matter, you tell me, I don't understand." But I think that according to your statement, the next time we come to Mars, we will have at least two more Kunpeng on our Prince Barnett, otherwise, the supplies for such a base will not be enough for the two landing ships we use now.
