Mars.

Human beings have been developing Mars for more than 100 years, and a complete system has been formed today. Because the environment of Mars is not suitable for human survival, human beings can only establish countless colonies of various sizes on Mars.

That is, a steel city with a closed ecosystem, in which the materials on which human beings depend, such as light and oxygen, are all artificially manufactured and regulated.

In the early days of colonization, there were cases of mechanical failures in the colony's ecosystem, resulting in huge casualties. However, after hundreds of years of research, mankind has already made breakthroughs in related aspects.

In the last 60 years, there have been no large-scale casualties in a colonial city due to mechanical causes such as system failures.

Even because of the continuous maturity of the technology for building a closed ecosystem, as well as the continuous reduction of related construction costs. At present, in addition to the colonial cities established by various countries, there are also many colonial cities funded by large companies and chaebols.

They are either for the resources of Mars, or for the wider market. Whatever the reason, this has contributed to an alternate prosperity on Mars.

If you want to say that the largest steel city on Mars, it is Pangu in China and the pioneers in the United States.

Of course, this is not to say that the colonies of other countries are not prosperous.

In fact, any colony that can be successfully established on Mars is a bustling and noisy place.

Because Mars is different from Earth, all human activities are limited by the environment. For most Martians, more than 95% of their lives have to stay in a fixed steel city, which also creates prosperity in the city.

Today, there are hundreds of colonies on Mars, large and small.

Qingmei City is invested and built by the Abe family of Toei, and the main development project is interstellar tourism. It's a small city of millions of people, and everyone in it works for the Abe family.

The Abe family has been around for more than 1,000 years and is one of the oldest families on Earth today.

The long inheritance also highlights the huge influence of this family in Dongying, as well as the wealth of the country. It is even unceremonious to say that the Abe family's every move does not affect the economy and politics of Toei.

In today's period of pro-China sentiment, although the Abe family did not make a clear statement, it took the initiative to establish cooperation with China in various aspects from the military industry to the service industry, and even participated in relevant plans for immigrants from the two worlds.

These actions of theirs all shocked the top management of Dongying.

Of course, there are people at the top of Dongying who are dissatisfied, and naturally there are also people who praise the actions of the Abe family. Under the various actions of the Abe family, the pro-China faction has gained more attention and support in various fields such as the economy and politics of Dongying.

On the barren Martian Gobi, two Mars rovers with the Abe family crest are driving slowly.

There are four people on each rover, all of them fully armed.

"Senior Ichiro Zhaoyang, where are we going?" A young man asked, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings outside, a little nervously.

Zhaoyang Ichiro smiled heartily: "Don't be nervous, we are just routinely patrolling a hundred miles away from Qingming City." While most of Mars is relatively calm, we still have to be as vigilant as possible against the damn Martian bandits. ”

Martian bandits, thugs who wander among the many metropolises of Mars and make a living by plundering.

They sometimes plunder rare ores from countries or companies and sell them for huge profits. Sometimes they also do murder and looting, robbing travelers who come to Mars without security.

According to the statistics of the relevant departments of the earth, as many as 30,000 people disappear on Mars every year!

They are all alive and dead, and they can't see corpses!

The main reason is that human activities on Mars are greatly restricted by the environment, and many places are simply inconvenient to explore. After those Martian robbers kill people, as long as they are casually thrown into remote forbidden areas, it is difficult to be found. Not to mention the use of flame weapons, which can directly incinerate any clues.

The special environment of Mars is destined to be a paradise for sin.

The young man seemed to be performing a long-range patrol for the first time, and was acting a little nervous and unnatural. When he heard Ichiro Zhaoyang's words, he apologized: "Let the seniors laugh." ”

"Haha, everyone is a colleague, what are you doing so politely."

"By the way, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. In Shimo-Abehara, I also ask Zhaoyang's seniors to take care of it. ”

When the other two heard this, even the person who was operating the patrol scooter couldn't help but turn around and said in surprise: "Your surname is Abe?" ”

Abe said with a wry smile: "It's just that the ancestors have a little connection with the Abe family, and there is only the sacred surname Abe left here for me, otherwise I wouldn't have come here." ”

When everyone heard this, they showed understanding.

The patrol mission seems to be comfortable, but because of the presence of Martian bandits, it is actually quite dangerous. If Abe had been closely related to the Abe family, he would obviously not have been assigned to such a job. If you have just a little relationship, you will also be assigned to a government department, or other decent work.

Just when everyone was thinking about their hearts, a hurried voice suddenly sounded in the car: "A-9567, A-9568, please answer as soon as you receive the news." ”

"A-9567 received, A-9567 received. I am Ichiro Akiyo, the leader of the A-9567 detachment, and I am Ichiro Akiyo, the leader of the detachment. ”

"A-9567, there is a strange energy reaction sixty miles north of you, please go to your destination immediately to investigate."

"A-9567 received, A-9567 received, and this is the way to the destination."

After completing contact with the command, Ichiro Shoyo commanded in a deep voice: "The vehicle turns around and moves towards the target area, and everyone is ready for battle." ”

Everyone was in a heavy mood and should have been.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the car became dull.

Starry Sky Altar.

Two figures appeared in the void with a blinding light, but they were two people, a man and a woman. The man's stature is less than one or five meters short, and his short and fat figure makes him always have a smiling face, and he looks a little obscene.

The woman has a beautiful face and a tall figure, about 1.7 meters.

The two stood together, looking extremely discordant.

The short and fat man was stunned, and said in surprise: "Thief woman, are you sure that this is the hometown of the Tongtian Patriarch, the legendary mountains and seas where there are many strong people?" ”

The beautiful woman was not at all flustered and confused by the desolation of Mars and the almost non-existent aura of heaven and earth around her, but was full of excited smiles.

She said: "It won't be wrong, this is an important clue that the old lady stole a lot of sect seniors and the tombs of the nobles of Daqin." The heavens and the earth are vast, and all things are silent, which is very similar to the legendary mountains and seas. If it weren't for the sight here, the old lady would have to wonder if she had come to the wrong place. ”

Hearing this, the short and fat man rubbed his hands excitedly, looked at the surrounding situation with bright eyes, and said excitedly: "That's good, that's good." We can be regarded as finding the hometown of the ancestor of Tongtian, legend has it that there have been countless strong people here, and the strong people of the Great Emperor alone can't be counted. ”

The short and fat man said, knelt down in front of the void, and kowtowed: "Blessed by the Heavenly Patriarch, the disciples can gain something from this trip." ”

Seeing this, the beautiful woman also knelt down after her, muttering loudly.
