At a time when the huge sea and others were busy with the ecological problems of ice and Mars.

Luo Feng's Huo Quai, escorting 6 Kunpeng-class transport ships, finally arrived near the icy Mars after a 13-day long journey.

Huo went to the cockpit of the sick number.

[Welcome to the Fire and Ice Satellites, follow the directions...... ］

The pilot operated the battleship, turning off three engines, retaining enough inertial power to float past.

Ten minutes later, Huo Qubing and six Kunpeng-class transport ships entered the tugboat range of the Ice and Fire Satellite City in inertial power.

This method is similar to the use of tugboats to assist in berthing when a 10,000-ton giant ship docked in the Common Era.

The driver of the tugboat is familiar with the situation of the satellite city port, and the matter of entering the port and berthing with a certain risk is still left to the professionals to carry out.

In particular, photonic engines emit lethal gamma rays, which restricts the activation of photonic engines in the vicinity of satellite cities, civilian space facilities, and living planets.

When the tugboat approached the Huo Quai, it was divided into two parts, front and back, and then connected to the front and back of the main hull of the Huo Quai.

At this time, when I entered the tugboat to enter the port, I saw that the three plasma engines of the tugboat kept spitting plasma with the assistance of supercomputing, so that Huo Qubing flew towards the port berth according to the predetermined course and strength.

Only 12 minutes later, the Huo Qubing and the six Kunpeng-class transport ships were safely parked in the port of the Ice and Fire Satellite City.

[Permission to disembark is completed.] ］

Luo Feng took Xiao Bing off the battleship, and on the Kunpeng-class transport ship not far away, 1,400 new immigrants stepped off the spaceship one after another and set foot on their new homes.

They are accompanied by a large number of equipment, including factory star spare parts, quantum computers, biological robots, communication balls, industrial robots, cloned meat factories, etc.

With these populations and technologies, there are enough ice Martian new humans to build a new human civilization.

However, the civilization seed of the Tianya Department has not yet reached the time to activate, and the new human beings hope that these civilization seeds will never be activated.

……

After settling a group of new immigrants, Lu Yiming and the service director of the satellite city began to work on that large batch of equipment again.

Next, it is necessary to build a degenerate material factory star, a comprehensive industrial star, form a Tianya defense system, and expand the scale of the Ice and Fire Satellite City.

The standard seeds of civilization, primitive immigrants are 10,000 new human citizens, with a complete scientific research system, industrial system, social system and defense system.

Now everything is just getting started in the Ice and Fire Satellite City.

……

Look back at the Shipwreck Observatory on Ice Mars.

A flying saucer-shaped spacecraft slowly landed on a piece of grass, six landing support feet were deployed, the spacecraft of more than 500 tons was pressed on the grass, and the unfolded triangular claw support feet sank into the ground for more than 20 centimeters.

The auto-balancing system is always with you, so that the interior of the ship does not have a trace of tilt.

The pilot, Lu Forging Zhi, activated the automatic warning system of the spacecraft, then turned his head and said to Masami Honda:

"Two of you, this is the Firefly Forest of the Red Earth Continent."

"Who came up with that name? The Red Continent? Firefly Forest? Isn't there still a Draconian?" Masami Honda couldn't help but ask.

Lu Forging Zhi pointed to the sky: "Xu Changsheng of the satellite city." ”

"It turned out to be the chairman of the city council." Masami Honda shrugged.

……

Chirp! Xu Changsheng, who sneezed, thought narcissistically, is there a beautiful woman thinking about me?

……

Masami Honda shows a virtual map of the Red Continent, where Ice Mars has three continents.

The distribution is the Gusen Continent (area of 5.41 million square kilometers), the Red Earth Continent (area of 2.77 million square kilometers), and the Ice and Snow Continent (area of 11.37 million square kilometers) where the former shipwreck tribe was located.

In addition to the three continents, the remaining area is the Four Seas and the Seven Islands.

The vast majority of the Ice and Snow Continent is on the back of the Ice Mars, which belongs to the forbidden land of life in the permafrost zone.

The Nibelons, who like to have plenty of heat, chose the base area, and naturally chose the Gusen continent located in the subtropics and tropics, and the laterite continent near the dividing line between day and night, so as to preserve a relatively intact ecology.

The name of the Firefly Forest is actually not unfounded, the Firefly Forest is located near the day and night dividing line of the Red Earth Continent, and the rotation axis of Ice Mars is not completely in line with the Little Tianya Star due to the gravitational influence of the Great Tianya Star.

Therefore, near the dividing line between day and night, there is an area with a width of 830~840 kilometers, and there is a division between day and night.

The Forest of Fireflies is in the middle of the day and night zone.

The huge sea lifted the light shielding system on the spacecraft's observation platform, and patches of coniferous forests appeared in front of him.

The area where they landed now was on a plateau on a side of the platform, and not far away was a vertical cliff.

A bitter southeast wind blows from the sea of ice floe to the Firefly Forest, and many coniferous trees are tilting to the northwest.

The grass and trees grow towards the sun, and the cold wind in the southeast hits for a long time, and the trees in the firefly forest grow obliquely to the northwest.

The little red stars gradually disappeared into the distant horizon, and night fell on the forest of fireflies.

The huge sea took a look at the temperature.

[11.23 degrees Celsius]

Temperatures are dropping rapidly, and the closer you get to the flank of ice Mars in the south, the faster the temperature drops.

Pressing his eyebrows, the genetic armor quickly covered his entire body, and even a layer of chitin skin appeared on his face.

Behind him, Masami Honda also entered the alien wilderness state.

After passing through the airtight passage of the spacecraft's sterilization, the negative pressure hatch opened immediately, and the two of them stepped on the Firefly Forest.

Under the night, the stars are brilliant.

The herbaceous plants of the meadows have "disappeared".

Masami Honda exclaimed, "What a strange life, how great the Creator is." ”

Some of the herbaceous plants in the meadow shrank into a ball, some rolled their leaves from broadleaf to needle, and some even shrank into the ground.

In order to withstand the bitter cold of the night for up to nine hours, they are like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing the wonder of evolution.

As the night deepened, a faint blue firefly appeared in the forest, and gradually these fireflies became more and more numerous, and there were swarms.

Many fireflies fly around the huge sea and Honda Masami.

The huge sea that had been prepared for a long time took out the insect storage box, and the cell robot extended its tentacles to capture 10 fireflies and load them into the insect storage box in one roll.

These fireflies are the size of a thumb, resemble a bumblebee, and have a faint blue glow on their tails.

Many of the forest mammals are preying on these fireflies, and from time to time you can see the faint blue glow disappearing.

Rich in nutrients and high in calories, fireflies are a source of calories for many Firefly Forest animals, but these animals also pay a price for it.

After the firefly is swallowed, the larvae will parasitize in the animal's intestines, rely on the nutrition of the animal itself and the feces for development, and then follow the feces after half a month.

Of course, the larvae of large fireflies will not cause fatal harm to animals, and will even use feces to generate heat in the animal's body, making the animal feel like it can't stop.

It's a symbiotic relationship that leverages each other.

The two of them collected a large number of animal samples from the Firefly Forest.

By midnight, a light snow began to fall in the Firefly Forest, and seeing that the samples were almost collected, the two of them returned to the ship.

The two collected tens of thousands of samples, ranging from insects and other invertebrates to the blood of large vertebrates.
