Chapter 720: Mars Base (Part II)
The Hope test spacecraft orbited Mars for a brief time around the fire.
In the process, the two fire-probing satellites were released in the most suitable position calculated by the brain, and they also began to fly around the fire.
According to the design of the Decepticon engineers, the two fire-probe satellites will have a lifespan of about three to four years.
Three to four years is definitely enough for Sun Cheng and them to build a powerful base on Mars, and then there will be no need to make satellites from the earth, and hundreds of millions of kilometers will be sent from far away.
So the service life of a fire detection satellite, they don't care.
The two fire-probe satellites were released into orbit around Mars, where they were quickly awakened and began to work.
The data collected by the two Mars probes was continuously transmitted to the spacecraft by the Hope test spacecraft as a signal receiving station, and after being quickly processed by the intelligent brain, it was simplified into data that was more convenient for Sun Cheng and them to watch, and appeared on a screen inside the spacecraft.
Sun Cheng looked at it carefully for a while, and the smile on his face grew.
“…… It seems that we are lucky, and there should be no storms in the Mariner Canyon area for the next few days......"
Weather prediction is a science that requires a lot of data collection and a lot of computational power.
Take the weather prediction of various countries on the earth, this ancient discipline has been born for more than thousands of years, and the earliest human beings only used experience, with the data seen by the eyes and sensed by the body to deduce, so false predictions are very frequent, often with a lot of subjective and mythological colors.
It was in the mid-to-late twentieth century that weather forecasting really became a well-established science.
With the gradual improvement of geography, atmosphere, earth science, physics and other sciences, satellites and supercomputers were born and developed, and finally made weather prediction a possibility.
When Sun Cheng was a child, the domestic weather forecast was often inaccurate.
However, with the development of national science and technology, after he went to university and worked, the accurate forecast of the weather can even be accurate to the weather, air quality and so on at every time of the day 24 hours a day.
Different planets mean that the environment, atmosphere, and so on must be different, which will indeed have some impact on Sun Cheng's Mars exploration.
However, the reason why modern science is called science is because in the process of its development, the human elite has gone forward and deduced, summarized and deduced a series of formulas and concepts, and with improvement, a little adjustment can be applied to a variety of different environments.
Based on data collected by two fire-finding satellites, the central master brain on the Hope test spacecraft quickly deduced that the area near Mariner Canyon, where they were about to land, would not cause a storm in the next few days.
In other words, Sun Cheng and the others came to Mars at this time, which was the most suitable time to land.
"Since Heaven is so beautiful, how can we live up to this beauty!"
After digesting the data fed back from the two Mars exploration satellites, Sun Cheng no longer hesitated, and immediately issued an order to the central master control brain of the Hope test spacecraft.
"Brain, get ready to land on Mars!"
"The order has been received, Your Excellency Captain, Hope is about to enter the Martian atmosphere, there may be some bumps in the next period of time, please be safe!"
"Got it!"
The atmosphere of Mars is similar to that of Earth, which is also the theoretical basis for the continuous development of Mars as a second Earth.
Because as we all know, the reason why the earth can give birth to life is not far from the sun, and there is a moon - the moon to help itself resist the impact of most meteorites from the universe, there is another very important reason, that is, the earth's atmosphere.
The atmosphere can refract all kinds of dangerous radiation from the universe, while preventing the loss of gases needed for most life, including oxygen, to be lost into outer space.
It's just that if the earthlings want to transform Mars, it is still very difficult.
Its atmosphere is less than one percent of the density of the Earth's atmosphere, and such an atmosphere cannot refract enough cosmic rays, including sunlight, to prevent the gases produced in Mars' interior from escaping into the universe.
"With the current technology of the earth, it will take at least a few hundred more years to establish a small and medium-sized base on Mars......"
Sun Cheng sat in the driver's seat, feeling the violent tremor caused by friction after the spacecraft entered the Martian atmosphere, and he was in a very good mood.
After the Decepticon Legion had already occupied the moon in advance, Mars could be said to be the most suitable base camp for a careerist like him in the solar system.
Coordinate the resources of an entire Mars, and then build bases, forces, and even legions that obey your own orders.
In the future, Sun Cheng may not be able to rely on Mars to establish another Decepticon army of his own.
The bump didn't last long, and soon with a prompt from Zhi Brain, the bump began to disappear.
The Hope test spacecraft has successfully entered Mars, and its altitude and speed are decreasing.
"The front is about to enter Mariner's Canyon, do you want to dock on the spot......"
The voice from the central master of the Hope test spacecraft was still reminding, but Sun Cheng looked through the transparent baffle in front of the spacecraft and saw the desolate world outside like a desert and Gobi on the earth.
"No need to dock for the time being, smart brain, it's like controlling the spaceship to sink into the Mariner's Canyon, flying longitudinally along the canyon, scanning the terrain in the canyon, and finding the most suitable base construction site!"
"The command has been received, the speed is about to drop to two kilometers per second, switch to automatic cruise ......"
The Hope test spacecraft was getting slower and slower, and by the time it managed to enter a wide canyon, the speed of the spacecraft had slowed to extremely slow.
"It's beautiful!"
Through the transparent baffle of the spaceship, Sun Cheng could clearly see the scenery in the Sailor's Canyon where the current spaceship was located.
When he was still on Earth, he had been to the two most famous canyons on Earth, the Grand Canyon of the United States and the Great Rift Valley, and even thought about establishing a base there.
Sun Cheng originally thought that the Grand Canyon of the United States and the Great Rift Valley of East Africa were majestic enough, but now compared with Mariner Canyon, it seems a little stingy.
Occasionally, special air currents in the canyon will cause the cruising ships to jolt up and down the ground, but it will not affect them in the slightest to find the most suitable anchoring place in the vast Grand Canyon.
It took seven or eight hours to find this, and when night fell on Mars and the sky gradually turned from reddish-brown to darkness, the Hope test spacecraft carrying Sun Cheng and his two Decepticon engineers finally landed slowly in a place in Mariner's Canyon.
As the spaceship's cabin opened, Sun Cheng took the lead and stepped off the spaceship, feeling the sudden increase in wind in the canyon and the temperature fed back from the armor plates on the surface of the body.
He looked at a dark spot a few hundred meters away from where the ship was docked, where there was a deep cavern that looked like a demon's mouth.
And it is the first base placement site selected by Sun Cheng for the Mars base.
