Chapter 285: Expedition

Island base, sunset.

Looking down from the sky, there is a factory building at the eastern end of the island.

Standing near this part of the island, I saw a different picture.

A big guy that looks neither like an airplane nor a car, is quietly parked in a marked spot.

It is about 100 meters long and 20 meters high, and from a certain angle, it feels like a luxury bus, but it is too fat when viewed from the front.

There are three rows of portholes on both sides, which seem to tell people that it has three layers inside.

At this moment, many people lined up in three columns, and drilled into the stomach of this big guy from three gangways.

Not far away, a platoon of heavily armed guards stood as a cordon.

Outside the line, a lot of people gathered, some people held small flags, most of them wore smart glasses, judging from the occasional shaking of their heads, they should be shooting.

Every now and then, someone shouts something, and then someone in the queue in front of them turns around and waves in response.

The people in line were dressed in a kind of spacesuit-like gear, but they didn't look bulky and bloated like the traditional spacesuits on the Blue Star.

The faces of these people did not put down the transparent masks, and it could be seen that there were men and women, and their faces were full of excitement.

Inside the cordon, Du Qiu and Wu Xinghuo embraced.

"Bring everybody, especially the researchers, and don't let them go too crazy."

Wu Xinghuo nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, boss, they have been trained before, they won't mess around!" ”

Du Qiu's face was solemn, and he said: "As the commander-in-chief, don't be soft-hearted when you should be decisive, in that environment, if you make a wrong decision, you may cause irreparable losses due to small losses." ”

"Yes, Boss!"

Du Qiu nodded and motioned for Wu Xinghuo to board the plane.

At this time, Da Liu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Wu Xinghuo, patted the other party's back, and then let go: "Let your kid run ahead, do a good job!" ”

Wu Xinghuo looked at his old superior, nodded with a smile, turned around and ran into the boarding line.

Looking at Da Liu's emotionally exposed appearance, Du Qiu couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, this is a swan-level planetary lander, which is propelled by an anti-gravity engine in and out of the atmosphere, with cooling treatment on the outside, no thermal barriers, no black barriers, and the whole process is more comfortable than taking a bus or plane." ”

Da Liu said stiffly: "Of course I'm relieved on this journey, don't they still have to transit in the heavenly realm and take a transport ship to Mars, I'm worried about the back."

Boss, this is the first time we humans have gone to Mars, and there are still so many people, we should really have a decent ceremony and then broadcast it to the whole world. ”

This kind of thing, Du Qiu, who has been accustomed to being low-key, has long been uninterested.

There are no onlookers at the base today, except for the families of those who have left for the Mars base.

Du Qiu shook his head and said, "You kid haven't learned anything else in the past few years, but you are very skilled in formalistic things." ”

"Hey, boss, life must have a sense of ritual, and besides, this is a major event that will go down in history after all."

"These videos are available, you can get them as you like, but we won't have to wait until we release the Celestial Realm!"

"Okay, leave it to me, make sure it gets right."

++++++++

In the darkness of space, a huge man-made vehicle is approaching Mars.

"This is the first time that a man has set foot on Mars, and we will go down in history!"

Through the porthole, Wu Xinghuo was fascinated by the sight of Mars at hand.

Although it looks like an old, earthy yellow, like an abandoned ball of broken skin, this rocky planet, which is slightly smaller than the Blue Star, is still the best planet for the Blue Star people to colonize.

Although the Moon is very close to Blue Star, the conditions are too harsh compared to Mars.

The temperature difference between day and night on Mars is smaller than that of the Moon, with an average temperature of about minus 40 degrees, and the average temperature in the equatorial region of Mars is around freezing, and if it is summer, it can reach up to about 20 degrees.

The temperature difference between day and night on the moon is more than 200 degrees, which is much more demanding for life-sustaining facilities.

In addition, Mars has an atmosphere, which is dominated by carbon dioxide and nitrogen, but it can also play a role in blocking cosmic radiation.

Finally, there is ice at the poles of Mars, which solves the problem of replenishing water for humans.

Although all the people who are preparing for the magical technology of Du Qiu live in the Celestial Space City, with the agreement reached with Nature Weili to build a Mars base, Du Qiu is ready to start the construction of interstellar real estate.

Then it is natural to establish a Martian base with magical technology on Mars.

Previously, there have been hundreds of Pterodactyl fighters back and forth between Blue Star and Mars, and a large number of construction robots, mining robots, and engineering robots have been put on Mars.

Some mines were quickly established.

The production base modeled after the alien civilization was quickly completed and began to be put into production locally.

In just one month, the first core module for human survival on the Mars site was built, and although it is only 100,000 square meters, the first scientists and maintenance engineers can already live and work here.

Although Amazing Tech's robots can repair themselves, there are still some special situations that require human engineers to maintain.

This is especially true when there is a problem with both hardware and software.

Wu Xinghuo, as an expert in this area, coupled with his qualifications, naturally became the first commander-in-chief of the Mars base.

In addition to a group of 100 maintenance engineers led by Wu Xinghuo, there is also a scientific research team of about 500 people, who come with hundreds of scientific research tasks and need to complete relevant research on Mars.

And, of course, 50 guards from the Ministry of Security, 5 of whom are human.

The Iron Guard is currently composed of 1 human and 9 simulated robots to form a combat team.

As for the expansion of the Martian base and the construction of a giant base for the power of nature, it is all the responsibility of countless robots controlled by artificial intelligence Stardust.

This time, they were not flying in a Pterodactyl fighter, but on a Giant Elephant-class transport landing ship.

This kind of transport landing ship is the shape and layout of the transport landing ship that Du Qiu has seen in imitation of the mining base of alien civilizations.

The inside is not necessarily the same, after all, Du Qiu has no way to enter the interior of the alien landing ship to check and learn, and the defender's database has never had knowledge about the battleship.

Du Qiu speculated that the level should not be enough, after all, the producer is level ten, the processor is level nine, the maintainer is level eight, and the energy supplier is level seven.

Just from these hierarchical rankings, it can be known that the mining production base belongs to the lower level of the intelligent machines of the alien civilization, and the middle and upper levels may be related to the manufacture of warships.

Interestingly, the Pleiades people's Paradise of Gods is only level nine, which can be described as a very low level, and if it weren't for this, the sea of stars would not be able to subdue it.

Du Qiu later researched the code of the artificial intelligence in God's Paradise and found that although there were many similarities with the alien civilization in the dream world, there were also many differences.

Although the artificial intelligence of the Pleiades has many limitations, it is far less than the alien civilization in the dream world.

I feel that the alien civilization artificial intelligence in the dream world is basically restricted in use, while the Pleiades are much more relaxed.

However, the level certification of the two is almost the same, which is also the reason why Xinghai can use the level to subdue the artificial intelligence of the Pleiades.

For this reason, Du Qiu also gave it a name, called the Pleiades, which is specially used to manage the operation of various bases on Mars.

"Attention all, landing is coming, please check the spacesuit, the mask is down."

The voice of the transport's brain suddenly sounded.

Through the portholes, everyone noticed that it was approaching the top of the Martian atmosphere, and that the transport ship was slowing down and making attitude adjustments.

Everyone began to check the state of their spacesuits and dropped their masks.

After more than ten hours of space flight, everyone had truly felt the emptiness and silence of space, and finally began to get excited again.

After the superstar landing ship adjusted its attitude, the anti-gravity engine began to run at full speed, and its huge body floated down towards the surface of Mars as if it were nothing.

Humanity has finally set foot on Mars.
