Chapter 5: Hallucinations 3/4

For a bite to eat, Mark completely abandoned his reason, he patted his belly and said: "Whether you are God or Satan, if you can feed me, then you will be my god in the future." What is your name, O God? ”

Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not a god, I'm just a Chinese." As for the name, you can call me Chen Cheng. ”

Chen ...... Old? Mark said twice with his tongue wide open, and then said briskly: "Then I'll call you Chen." Chen, how much more do you have to eat? ”

Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's enough for the two of us to eat for ten years." ”

Mark jumped up from his chair and said happily: "It will take four years for the rescue spacecraft to come over next time, so don't worry about it now!" I'm going to call Houston and tell them the good news. ”

He put on his spacesuit, walked over to the transmitter and receiver outside, and began a boring, long, and ultra-long-distance communication that would delay for about half an hour. Chen Cheng didn't go out, but looked around at the layout of the Mars base, and was very interested in all kinds of things inside.

The level of technology here is not much different from the world he is in, about a decade or two apart. If there is an infinite amount of money to spend, the Earth government in the world can also establish such a base on Mars.

Outside the base, Mark was on a difficult call with the Space Agency in Houston, "yes, I've got plenty of food here, you can pick me up when you're ready." ”

A NASA worker with headphones on his head turned his head and said loudly, "Mark said he had plenty of food there!" ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Alas!"

The bespectacled official said with regret: "It seems that we need to find a psychologist, and it is normal to hallucinate in an extremely lonely environment." ”

Others disagreed, "Perhaps, he just doesn't want us to make fearless sacrifices?" ”

But the remark quickly drew ridicule, "Do you think Mark is Chinese?" ”

"Head, what are we going to do now, do we want to order the ship to turn around and pick him up?"

The bespectacled official pondered for a while and asked, "What is the success rate of the previous plan?" ”

"Less than thirty percent."

"What if we wait for the ship to be relaunched?"

"Then he would have starved to death!"

The bespectacled official sank his face and said coldly, "What do you know? Only I know the most about astronautics! Since Mark said he had food there, he had food. Order the ship to return as originally planned, and we'll find a way to send another spacecraft to Mars. ”

"This ........."

"What is this? No one knows anything about Mars, do what is told! ”

A new order was given, and the Hermes spacecraft continued to fly to Earth. Although many of the members of the ship felt that this was wrong, the center in Houston swore that Mark had plenty of food on his side.

But how is that possible? It's clear how much supplies we have brought, even if we grow potatoes, we won't have time to harvest them! ”

"Perhaps, Mars is especially suitable for growing potatoes?"

"Did you find supplies from the previous ships?"

"There is such a possibility, since Mark said so, then there is naturally a way."

Mark spent a long time communicating with Earth before returning to the base. He did not disclose that he now has a Chinese as a partner, because it is ridiculous. To say that on Earth, you can see Chinese everywhere, but this is Mars, which is 55 million kilometers away, did he fly over?

In order not to make Houston think he was crazy, Mark hid the matter. Anyway, it's just an illusion on your own, and it's a good thing for everyone not to say it. He took off his helmet and greeted Chen Cheng loudly, "Hey, Chen, my friend, let's have something to eat!" ”

Even if it's an illusion, I'll fill my stomach first.

Chen Cheng took out some bread and bacon, took out two more cans of beer, and said, "There are a lot of food, but there are not so many beers." ”

Mark said nonchalantly: "Then drink a can every two days, come, my Satan, my God, although you are my fantasy, let's have a drink." ”

The beer cans collided together, and such a real collision made Mark in a trance again, and the hallucinations were getting worse and worse!

After eating and drinking, Chen Cheng put away the garbage and asked, "It will take four years for the spaceship to come over next time, how are you going to spend such a long time?" ”

"Chen, if you have any suggestions, please speak directly," Mark touched his belly and said, "Anyway, what you said is what I think, so I don't have to bother with it." ”

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "I have some equipment and materials here that can be used for processing. Didn't you say there are a lot of previously launched ships around here? Get them all over and see what we can make. ”

Mark was skeptical, "We can't bring back anything that heavy in our car. ”

Chen Cheng said: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you get closer, I will naturally have a way." ”

"Like conjuring food out of thin air?" Mark scratched his head and said, "And you say you're not a god?" Jesus can only conjure five fish and two loaves, and you are much better than Jesus. ”

"Then we'll leave tomorrow?"

"Let's go tomorrow!"

The two of them set off when they were ready. The rover raced across the land, and it only took a dozen hours to reach an abandoned spacecraft. The exterior of the spacecraft is covered with dust, and there is also an atmosphere on Mars, but it is very small, and the oxygen content in it is less, which is simply not enough to support the survival of human beings, so they need to wear spacesuits.

"I'll tell you, there's no way we can get such a big guy back."

Mark's voice came from the helmet, and Chen Cheng slowly stepped forward, putting away the huge abandoned spaceship and all the things around it. Even if it's just a nail, it's precious on this desolate red Mars. Seeing thousands of tons of things disappear like that, Mark muttered, "Illusions, this must be all hallucinations!" ”

Chen Cheng walked over, climbed into the rover, and said to Mark: "Don't be in a daze, we still have a lot of places to go!" ”

"Alright! You are God, you have the final say! ”

Mark also climbed into the rover, and after the cabin was closed, he took off his helmet and said, "You come and drive, the next coordinates are here." ”

Chen Cheng has thirty points of "intelligence", this kind of machinery that ordinary people need to train for more than a year to control, he can easily drive it in just one day. And for some unknown reason, the rover in his hands can run faster than the maximum speed.

"Oh, Shet, slow down, run so fast, the car is going to fall apart!"

Chen Cheng also took off his helmet and laughed, "Is this okay?" Absolutely not! Get ready, there's more to come! ”

He pushed the putter forward, and the rover was a little more powerful and faster. The car carrying the two of them ran rampant on the desolate land, packing up abandoned spaceships, bases and other things everywhere. After running around outside for more than half a month, all the man-made objects within a radius of several hundred miles fell into Chen Cheng's hands.

When he got back to the base, Mark took a hearty shower, then took three bottles of beer with pickled cucumbers, bread, and jerky. He belched in satisfaction and asked, "We've brought all the things back, Chen, what do you want to do with them?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "This place is too small, if the wind blows, it may be blown away by the strong wind, let's strengthen the base first, and then build a few multi-functional cabins." I have some seeds here, and in addition to potatoes, we can also grow some peppers, cucumbers, loofahs, corn, wheat, rice, etc., so that we can eat fresh. ”

The gale on Mars is very terrifying, and it is just ten or higher. Fourteen gale winds also came as well, and the dust that blew up often obscured the entire sky. Although the base looks solid, it is still unknown whether it can withstand it in the face of that kind of power that covers the sky and the sun.

Mark scratched his head and said, "Okay then, there's nothing else to do here anyway." ”

After resting for a day, Chen Cheng took out a lot of things that he had received from the "inventory" and piled them up outside the Mars base, and the two of them picked and chose to see what could be used. Chen Cheng has a tenth-level "engineering" skill, and given a hammer and enough time, he can even knock out a battleship.

Battleship....... Chen Cheng thought about it for a while, and asked Mark to stay near the base, and he walked away by himself.

"Chen, what are you going to do?"

Mark shouted, although he is not as perverted as Chen Cheng, but he is also a handicraft expert who is about to reach the full level of hands-on ability, and among normal people, he is outstanding.

"There are so many things, you can't let me do it all alone!"

Chen Cheng said through the intercom system built into the spacesuit: "Keep your eyes open, now is the time to witness the miracle!" Come out and shine with the sun! ”

"Bang!"

The ironclad battleship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons cleared the air and landed on the plains of Mars. Heavy steel armor, mighty cannons, and high banners. More than 100 years ago, there were such old-fashioned battleships on the earth, but now they can only recall this symbol of human pride in photos.

Mark opened his mouth wide and let out a series of exclamations, "Oh God, oh my God! ”

He looked up at the behemoth of more than 10,000 tons, and his heart was full of horror. On Earth, this kind of thing has been blown to the bottom of the sea by a dozen, which is not an unusual thing. But this is Mars 55 million kilometers away, how could such a thing appear?

Mark began to wonder deeply, was the food he had eaten before really a hallucination? Even if it's an illusion, it's too real, right? Looking at this iron armor reflecting the sunlight, looking at this thick and large cannon barrel, is this also an illusion?
