Chapter 718: Mars Base (Part I)
After the optical stealth device was activated, the Hope test spacecraft seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of water.
Although the four cooling tails emitted by the engine cannot be completely obscured, the optical stealth device is still able to obscure most of the observation equipment on Earth.
After giving the order to set off, the main control brain on the Hope test spacecraft, which had been activated in advance, was ordered to turn on the spacecraft, take off from a temporary launch site in the control area of the No. 2 base along the flight trajectory that had been calculated for a long time, escape the earth's gravity at a very fast speed, and begin to fly in the direction of Mars.
At the moment when the spacecraft broke through the atmosphere, Sun Cheng's tense body slowly relaxed, and his fingers lightly tapped on the metal seat of the driver's seat.
"Brain, report to me the current flight speed...... Ship Status...... How long will it take for us to fly out of the Earth-Moon range? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency...... At present, the flight speed of Hope is 347 kilometers per second, the spacecraft is in good condition, and the opening of the optical stealth system has increased the energy consumption of the spacecraft by 1.94% compared with the normal state, and it is recommended to turn it off...... At the current flight speed, we are about to successfully leave the Earth-Moon system in 27 minutes and 41 seconds......"
Sun Cheng: "The optical stealth system continues to turn on, and after leaving the range of the Earth-Moon system, it authorizes you to automatically turn it off!" In addition, to generate a logbook, we need more experimental data from this flight......"
"Yes, Your Excellency, it's on the record!"
There is a base on the moon that belongs to the Decepticons, and it is likely that the Red Spider and Megatron are both on the moon, which is why Sun Cheng can't really put his mind at ease.
Only by flying away from the range of the Earth-Moon system could he be a little relieved.
Nearly half an hour, slow to say, fast to say.
The Hope test spacecraft finally flew out of the Earth-Moon system's sphere of influence, and Sun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when the central control brain on the Hope lifted the optical stealth.
Both the Autobots and the Decepticons, although they have some scouts deployed at the edge of the solar system.
However, it doesn't seem to be in the galaxy, at least Sun Cheng didn't see similar memories from Sonic and Jazz's memories.
Because of this, he was able to relax his tense nerves a little, and through the wind window on the front side of the Hope test spacecraft, he admired the unknown space that he once longed for and feared.
Some people have used dreams to describe the wonder of the universe, dead silence to describe the desolation of the universe, vastness to describe the vastness of the universe, and full of unknowns to describe all the secrets contained in the universe.
Sun Cheng didn't know how to use various words to describe what he was seeing now, even though he was sailing with his back to the sun, the sun, which had given the earth infinite life, still shone its scorching light on the spaceship.
Ahead of the orbit of the Hope test spacecraft is a crimson planet that is gradually beginning to grow larger.
Countless asteroids and strange celestial bodies pass directly in front of or around the spacecraft from time to time, and only by being in the universe can you feel the insignificance of the earth, humans, Cybertrons, and even civilization.
"It's beautiful!"
Sun Cheng admired everything that his gaze captured from time to time, and he was full of curiosity about everything in the universe.
This curiosity lasted for more than two days, and it was not until he inadvertently glanced at the Earth that was getting smaller and smaller when the spacecraft avoided a meteorite that was going straight at him and briefly adjusted the flight trajectory.
Looking at the back of the cockpit, the two newly promoted Decepticon engineers who had been silent and did not dare to say more, Sun Cheng had an extra smile on his face.
"Adam and Prometheus, you two don't have to be so restrained...... Regarding the site selection, construction and planning of the Mars base, I hope to hear your thoughts while the spacecraft arrives on Mars! ”
Sun Cheng, who had been sitting silently in the driver's seat, suddenly talked to the two new Decepticon engineers under him, and his attitude was still very good.
Adam and Prometheus' faces were flattered and surprised at the same time.
The strict hierarchy has always been the order that the Decepticon Legion admires.
Regarding this concept, which is obviously conducive to the shaping of his own status, Sun Cheng has no intention of forcibly correcting it.
He has a vested interest and naturally prioritizes his own interests.
The names of Adam and Prometheus come from some Western myths and legends.
In fact, many of Sun Cheng's newborn Decepticons are named after some Western myths and legends on Earth.
The reason why the names in Oriental myths and legends are not used is mainly because the Oriental surnames are too eye-catching, and it is easy for people with intentions to associate with a certain Far Eastern country.
A country in the Far East of the [Transformers Universe] world, although it is not Sun Cheng's motherland in the true sense, he still has some emotional bonds.
Therefore, until now, he has been hiding behind the scenes to instigate Moscow, and even recently began to encourage the European double waste to make trouble with the United States, but he has never involved a certain country in the Far East, whose comprehensive national strength is not too strong so far.
Adam was one of the first sappers to be cultivated at Base 2, and Sun Cheng also participated in the experiment when he was born.
So although for more than a year, he, like the other nascent Decepticons, has become afraid of the master behind the base, but compared to Prometheus, he has also recovered faster.
Although he was still a little afraid, when he heard Sun Cheng's question, he thought about it and took the lead in replying: "Master, since Prometheus and I were selected to participate in the fire exploration project and appointed as the first batch of engineers to land on Mars, Lord Atlas and they have specially trained the two of us on Mars!" ”
He stretched out his right hand and held it slightly, and a virtual projection of a fiery red planet was generated from the top of his palm, which was Mars.
Sun Cheng controlled the driver's seat and turned over, looked at him with interest, and gestured slightly, "Go on!" ”
Prometheus looked at Adam with some blush, and Adam was also very excited, but this did not affect the mood he wanted to show in front of Sun Cheng.
As soon as his mind moved, a bright spot emerged from the virtual projection of Mars projected in his palm.
The location of the bright spot is located at a huge scar on Mars, and seeing that Sun Cheng is looking at the bright spot intently, Adam controls the rotation of the Martian projection, so that the bright spot above is facing Sun Cheng.
He then continued: "The atmosphere of Mars is very thin, and the strong temperature difference between day and night will cause wind pressure to form, and according to the exploration data of earthlings on Mars collected by the second base, there will be hundreds of terrifying storms on Mars almost every year. ”
"Although this kind of storm is conducive to the concealment of our base in a sense, it will also cause a large number of robots to be unable to carry out mineral exploration and excavation normally, as well as outdoor operations."
"In the early days of the base, in order to minimize the impact of this unfavorable environmental problem, we finally chose Mariner Canyon and prepared to build a Mars base in the canyon!"
