Chapter 230: The Proving Ground on Mars

Mars has always been a planet that humans want to conquer, and some people even want to transform Mars into another home planet.

Obviously, this is a bit of a dream.

However, I am afraid of people who have dreams and momentum, although the current Martian environment is not suitable for human habitation, at least human beings have opened up the situation above and established many survival bases.

According to the latest data, the resident population on Mars has exceeded 20,000.

"Resident" here means "stationed", and they do not live here, but staff who have worked here for more than six months.

If you add in the kind of people who make deliveries back and forth or stay here for no more than a month on business trips, it is estimated that there are 30,000 people.

Of these 30,000 people, 12,000 belong to the Deep Space Group.

The geographical location of Mars...... Well, the interstellar location indicates that the Homeland Star has a very low ability to control it, so the Deep Space Group has much more power here than on the Homeland Planet, and Dong Qingchen has stationed a lot of people here.

It's the same on the moon.

However, the moon is a little closer to the home star, and it only takes a few hours to ride the spaceship, and it can go back and forth several times a day, so although the group has 30,000 employees there, the overall proportion is much smaller.

After the huge "Flash" descended into the orbit of Mars, and handed over the "White Pearl" to the orbital maintenance plant belonging to the Federation, it continued to move some distance and docked at the integrated spaceport belonging to the Deep Space Group.

As for the previous "ride fee", naturally there are special people to negotiate with the new life group.

The entire "Flash" will definitely not enter the Martian atmosphere, after all, its hull is too big, and there is no point in entering the atmosphere, so Dong Qingchen and Shen Chengfei took a few management and assistants to Mars on a small 80-meter-long spacecraft.

The small spacecraft is equipped with an anti-gravity system, which is the most suitable device to shuttle between orbit and the ground, and in a short time they are in the sky above the Mars branch of the Deep Space Group.

There is no country on Mars that has announced the area of control, after all, there are only tens of thousands of people now, and the places that can actually be used are extremely limited, and there is no control over Mars at all, so it still follows the principle of "who develops, who owns".

Whoever develops a certain area, builds a factory and a base there, and opens up a mine there, that area belongs to you.

Because Mars is too big and the number of people who can reach Mars is too small, the main spheres of influence of the parties are now very far apart and have not yet reached the level of mutual interference, so there will be no problem for a considerable period of time.

As for the later stages......

The Ten Rings Alliance didn't think about things that far ahead at all, and they would face the invasion of the Tyranid Empire's fleet in the future, and it was not certain whether they would survive or not.

Although there is Dong Qingchen's "titanium family" to intervene in the adjustment, it is not said whether it works or not.

It's not that the United Nations on the homeland planet has not been involved in the war between the two countries, but the effect is not ideal.

So their belief is to get through this crisis first and then talk about the rest.

The shuttle spacecraft landed very smoothly on the landing platform in the company, and the automatic docking bridge quickly completed the docking and pressurization, and Dong Qingchen and they officially arrived at the Mars branch.

The functions of the Mars branch of the Deep Space Corporation are very simple, focusing on heavy industrial projects such as mining, smelting and component production, which are also the main tasks of the Mars bases of all countries and enterprises.

There is no need to pay attention to environmental protection issues on Mars, and even the emission of carbon dioxide into the Martian atmosphere will also contribute to the homelihood of Mars.

Although many scientists opposed this at the beginning, after all, many people still did not give up the possibility of life on Mars, and if such wanton changes to the Martian environment could affect the existing life on Mars.

For such a statement, to be honest, the Ten Rings Alliance doesn't care anymore, human beings have been tossing around on Mars for so long, and they haven't seen any large creatures come out to make trouble, which has proven that there is no notable life on Mars.

Even if there is, it is estimated that it is bacteria or something, and a complex alien biosphere has been discovered on Europa, who cares about alien bacteria.

Just be careful that the possible presence of Martian bacteria does not affect the survival of humans.

Although a lot of information cannot be released to the public, as long as the Ten Rings Alliance agrees internally, it will basically be fine.

Controversial?

It's okay, soon it won't be there.

Of course, Mars is still very valuable for research, and its environment is also suitable for some other research and experiments, so capable countries and companies have also set up scientific research stations and laboratories on Mars.

Dong Qingchen transferred to those regular departments, and at a loss, he transferred to the scientific research department.

Deep Space Group's scientific research department on Mars is different from the scientific research departments of other countries and companies, and its scientific research personnel have reached 7,000 people, which is definitely the largest scientific research group on Mars.

However, it would not be enough to say that they are all researchers, 6,800 of them are "studied" personnel, and most of them are still powerful, maintaining many traces of soldiers.

They are the operational commanders of the First Fleet of the Deep Space Fleet prepared by Dong Qingchen, commanders, staff officers, relevant technical personnel, fighters, etc., all of whom have complete positions.

The Ten Rings Alliance has the weakest control over Mars, so Dong Qingchen simply moved these people to Mars, and their daily scientific research task is to use virtual reality equipment for training and learning.

Then there are a few volunteers who cooperate with the experiments of scientific research laboratories and rush towards the field of "super humans".

Dong Qingchen was greatly inspired by the discovery of the "Cthulhu giant octopus" a few years ago, and the researchers he sent in the past discovered many creatures, and then began to develop new biotechnology based on them, in order to make human beings become real cosmic life.

Other countries within the Ten Rings Alliance also have this kind of secret operation, and everyone knows it, as long as they don't let ordinary people from the homeland star know.

“…… This is the most adaptable experimenter at the moment, and he is a member of the biological research group himself, but voluntarily applied for the experiment. ”

"I don't know if you remember, his name is Jian Wen, and the information says that he was infected with "berserk", and he was cured in our company, when the company had just moved to Deep Sky Island. ”

"He can now hold his breath underwater for an hour, and his physical fitness, strength, speed, low temperature resistance, high temperature resistance, pressure resistance, radiation resistance and other attributes are all developing towards non-human, and the "non-human" I am talking about refers to people who have been injected with strengthening drugs. ”

In front of the large reinforced transparent window, he pointed to a person with a breathing mask on his face in the laboratory and said to Dong Qingchen.

The lab was huge, with a lot of people running on treadmills in shorts and short sleeves, and everyone had a breathing mask on their face.

It is worth noting that the researchers next to them are wearing white light spacesuits, indicating that this laboratory is a low-pressure laboratory, and the pressure has dropped to a level that is unbearable for normal humans.

"Can you survive on Mars with zero equipment?" Dong Qingchen touched his chin and asked his own question.

"I've tried it in the atmospheric simulation room, but it's not good, but compared to the humans on the home planet, his environmental adaptability is already very strong, and if the real Martian environment is real, he should be able to stay for a few minutes." Garbled thought about it and said.

"Then we have to continue to work hard," Dong Qingchen put down his hand, and then put his arm behind his back, "Those big octopuses can survive in a vacuum, and they still have the strength to smash the spaceship." ”

"Then some are waiting," said the helpless stall hand: "After all, the human body has a limit, and it is not easy for Jianwen to be in his current state, not only taking and injecting the corresponding drugs, but also doing a lot of surgeries, although this is due to the experimental period, but it is estimated that it will not be too easy in the later stage." ”

"What makes me even more depressed is that none of my warriors can match him."
