On Mars, as the Merriken Mars scooter approached, the two astronauts gradually saw two Martian living modules and a large reflective solar array standing in the distance.

This is Tianxia's "red" Mars base, and although there are only two living modules now, it will soon be a magnificent Martian city.

Even as "adversaries", Victor and Mark believed in the plan.

"Tianxia's development speed is too fast, we can only land in a hurry, and they already have two living cabins."

Mark, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with emotion.

"Yes," Victor said as he drove and looked at the living pod, "Our mission this time is very advanced, according to the plan, the Mars mission in the past few years is just an unmanned Mars sample return." ”

After speaking, the two were silent, and the gap was really a bit big.

Fortunately, it was the sudden appearance of aliens, which directly woke up Tianxia and Merriken.

Tianxia was awakened because they realized that they couldn't just care about the development on the earth, variables had appeared, the plan for steady progress had to be changed, and space had to be added to the future plan.

Then one operation, and in a very short time there was a small Martian base.

And Merriken's awakening is to see Tianxia thoroughly, see the essence of the round panda, no matter how cute it is, it is also a carnivorous order and a bear.

Although I attach great importance to it, I was almost beaten by cuteness.

If Tianxia is so hidden, maybe he won't know the true situation of Tianxia until Merrican dies.

Merrican had a greater and deeper sense of vigilance, and at the same time wondered: how did Tianxia surpass it so quickly?

Tianxia has been developing at a high speed, it is known, but this catch-up speed should not be so fast, according to normal calculations, it will have to start at least a few decades.

But it's not been a few years, not only did he catch up, but he also left himself behind, and even looked at the other party's taillights by himself.

That's not right!

This is very counterintuitive!

The drain bends are not so fast!

Since the speed of Tianxia's car is unreasonable, it must be the intervention of external "power".

At first, people thought it was the Navigator, because it was a rocket builder, so it was normal to install two rocket boosters on Tianxia's car, but if you think about it carefully, the engineers in the Navigator are also human beings, and if you are human, there will be limits.

The limits of human beings, human beings themselves are very clear, and the speed of development of the navigator is really a bit weird.

Although there have been various "god-like" scientists and inventors in human history, many people do not believe that Tianxia has appeared in the near future.

And the core figure here, Tang Chao, is too young, only in his twenties.

At this time, many superfigures in history may not have fully formed their worldview.

At this age, Albert Einstein only received a Ph.D. in physics, developed the photon hypothesis, successfully explained the photoelectric effect, and later won the Nobel Prize......

Uh, well, there are really a lot of bullish characters in human history.

However, the appearance of aliens still attracted many people's attention to Mars, and also made some people have divergent thinking.

"Could the rapid advancement of Navigator's space technology have anything to do with aliens?"

You see, the boss of the Navigator has such a good relationship with aliens, and learns alien languages so quickly, could it be that he has long been in contact with aliens?

If you change to an alien civilization, maybe some people won't think so, but what came to the solar system is this "civilization race yearning for the starry sky", their technology tree is very similar to humans, not the kind of strange looking alien technology tree, that kind of thing humans don't know where to start if they want to learn.

A lot of people will have this kind of brain hole, and then give birth to conspiracy theories.

Of course, it's not surprising that people have all sorts of ideas and brains at a time when it's clear that there is a huge social change on the horizon.

It only depends on how they plan to deal with their own brains, and the more "unstable" they are, the easier it is to achieve class changes.

And the source of the change is not far from Victor and Mark, in the two Martian survival modules.

The Mars survival module built by the Navigator is 18 meters high, the diameter of the main module reaches 10 meters, and the full load mass is about 100 tons.

————

Of this mass, it carries a large part of the fuel used for the descent buffer, and when it lands on the surface of Mars, it will not have that mass.

And the mission was accomplished, and the four engines and supporting fuel tanks on it were useless.

Once the remaining oxy-hydrogen fuel is drained and stored for use elsewhere, the empty shell-like thrusters will have a new mission.

They are dismantled and then broken down into smaller pieces by astronauts and disposed of into recycling devices to become usable raw materials.

The entire survival compartment is viewed from the bottom up, and the lowest is a pressurized multi-purpose cargo compartment with a height of 5 meters, a maximum length of 9.5 meters, and a maximum width of 5 meters.

The reason why the cargo compartment, which was supposed to be cylindrical, has been transformed into a large rectangular space is that in addition to the entrance and exit airlock compartment taking up space, in addition to being able to load goods, it is also a work center.

The equipment installed in it can produce parts and assist astronauts in the installation, repair, and maintenance of equipment.

For example, a 3D printer adapted to the Martian environment can use recycled raw materials to print some parts on demand.

This is an important "storage" space because they are not the same.

Of the two survival compartments, only one of them has this function as a pressurized warehouse, and the other has been converted into a plant cultivation center, which is commonly known as a vegetable greenhouse.

The reason why they dared to invite aliens to eat hot pot and took out precious green leafy vegetables was because they brought a lot of seeds with them when they came, and they could grow them themselves if they wanted to eat them.

What is the recovered liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel for, of course, is synthetic water, and after the synthetic water can be used as a nutrient solution, and then plant planting.

Of course, they don't grow and eat it, the first few batches are always used for experiments, and the matter of growing their own vegetables and eating them will be postponed a little later, and it will only enter their stomachs when the verification is okay.

All kinds of experiments require electricity, and the drill bit that is slowly drilling down also needs to be used, and it depends on whether the water can be drilled out.

All of these things require electricity, and they can't rely on the two small solar panels that come with the survival module, so they have a lot of solar panels in their pressurized cargo compartment, which is used to allow them to set up solar photovoltaic arrays.

Because of the ability to land accurately, the distance between the two survival modules is very close, close enough that they can be connected to each other with a telescopic channel, so that there is no need to put on and take off the spacesuit back and forth, leaving only one entrance.

Right next to them is a solar photovoltaic array made up of a large field of solar panels.

In Tianxia, they have laid a large number of solar photovoltaic arrays in the desert Gobi, providing a lot of clean energy for Tianxia, and they have a very strong accumulation of technology on it, and they have experience in using this thing.

The climate of the desert is somewhat similar to that of Mars, so much so that many science fiction movies about Mars are filmed in the desert, so when there is no nuclear fusion equipment, using solar photovoltaic arrays is a very good choice.

Although it is a little far from the sun, there are only two survival pods here, and it is enough to have more beds.

The aliens also took the initiative to help a lot when building this photovoltaic power station, so in order to commemorate the first construction project of human cooperation with aliens, they deliberately placed the photovoltaic power station into a circle, a circle of photovoltaic panels, which looked very regular and beautiful.

But it shouldn't last long, and it will only serve as a monument in the future.

Because Tang was going to go to nuclear fusion for a while.

Where did it come from?

"Sponsored" by aliens, of course.

He now calls the aliens brothers and sisters every day, and the aliens should send something, and they are in love.

Moreover, he has a fast transportation channel between the Earth and Mars, and if the aliens want to repair their spacecraft on Mars, they must use the Mars base under Tang Chao's name.

To help Tang Chao is to help yourself.

The most important thing is that Tang Chao not only has the false name of "civilized diplomatic ambassador", he is also the "navigator" of human science and technology who holds real power!

Every energy revolution causes a lot of turmoil, especially with the use of nuclear fusion, but if aliens intervene, it may be much easier to implement, at least the national organization should know what to do.

Of course, it is also possible that it will be due to the intervention of extraterrestrials...... It's messier.

I haven't done it yet, so it's hard to say.

However, it is man-made, and the "navigator" always has to face all kinds of unexpected situations that arise for the first time.
