The rate at which the space elevator rises is increasing all the time. Zhao Lan knew that this speed would eventually rise to more than five kilometers per second. Even so, it takes about three hours to get from the ground end of the space interaction base to the space end.

As the altitude increased, Zhao Lan finally took in the panoramic view of Mount Olympus. Although Zhao Lan has been to Mars several times and has taken the space elevator several times, Zhao Lan is still a little excited when he sees this scene. This is Mars, tens of millions of kilometers away from its home planet. At this moment, as a member of the human race, he is watching the scenery of Mars from the sky above Mars.

Every time at this time, Zhao Lan would be proud of his human identity in his heart. Zhao Lan will be glad that he is a human being and not a horse or a pig, and that he has enough wisdom to explore and think about this universe.

Mount Olympus eventually merges with the Martian land and is no longer visible. At this time, Zhao Lan could already see the whole picture of Mars. This huge fiery red planet was completely presented in Zhao Lan's eyes.

Zhao Lan's gaze withdrew from Mars and looked at the sky. The thick cable on which the space elevator rests spreads straight into the endless darkness of space, with no end in sight. In the far reaches of endless space, there is a bright star. Zhao Lan knew that it was the space base. The light it emits does not reflect the sun, but comes from its own internal light source.

An elevator above fell rapidly, flashing in front of Zhao Lan's eyes at a speed that could not be distinguished by the naked eye, and quickly fell into the vast Martian land. After a few minutes, another elevator quickly fell......

That's the downward section of the space elevator. The space elevator connects the ground base and the space port, and it naturally does not have only one function of going up or down. Those downward elevators are full of various materials from the earth, and it is these materials that support the survival and development of Watson City......

Missing those downward elevators, Zhao Lan once again saw the bright sea and mountain two. Seamount II still maintains its brightness, quietly radiating light in the silence and deep space, and it looks extremely gorgeous. But Zhao Lan knew that this burst of light could not last too long. In about half a month. Within a maximum of two months, Seamount II's light will gradually dim and eventually disappear from the universe entirely, making it impossible to see anything from that direction with the naked eye.

There will be a powerful black hole and a planetary nebula. The name Seamount II will become history.

A star died, a black hole was born. This is the change and birth and death of the stars, for which human beings can only look up.

As the height continued to increase, Zhao Lan felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter. The gravity that bound Zhao Lan became smaller and smaller. Zhao Lan knows. Although it has been rising vertically, Mars also has a rotation, and as the radius increases, if it has to move at the same angle in the same time, the orbital speed relative to Mars will inevitably become higher and higher. That's why gravity is getting smaller and smaller. After a while, I guess I will be completely weightless.

The star above that kept shining brightly finally changed from a bright spot to a face. So Zhao Lan knew that he was not far from the space port. The space elevator began to slow down, and Zhao Lan, who had already sat in the seat in advance and restrained himself with the seat belt, felt the pressure of the seat belt on him.

If it weren't for the seat belt restraints, Zhao Lan would have already flown up. Because the space elevator was slowing down, Zhao Lan himself did not slow down. The consequence of this is that Zhao Lan will fly to the ceiling of the space elevator.

The space elevator finally slid smoothly onto the mooring platform of the spaceport. The entire spaceport is a cylindrical structure that, through its own rotation, with the help of centrifugal force, creates an artificial gravity between Mars and Earth. So it wasn't until this moment that Zhao Lan got rid of the trouble of weightlessness.

The weightless environment isn't pretty. Because the structure of the human body itself has evolved for millions of years to adapt to the gravity of the earth, it is not good for the body to rush into a weightless environment.

Zhao Lan is already quite familiar with the space port. So after getting off the space elevator, Zhao Lan walked directly to a service window. After showing his identification, the service staff took Zhao Lan to the port of mooring in a shuttle bus. Zhao Lan's Sylvia spacecraft was moored in one of the berths.

This process consumed another fifteen minutes of Zhao Lan's time. Before coming to the berth, show your ID and enter your password...... Zhao Lan is familiar with all this. But when the huge screen door opened. What appeared in front of Zhao Lan was an empty berth. In addition to the equipment that the berth itself has...... Nothing.

Here, Zhao Lan didn't see the familiar figure of the Sylvia spaceship.

Zhao Lan's first reaction was that he was in the wrong place. But his identity certificate can only open his own berth, thinking of this, Zhao Lan dispelled Fang Cai's idea again. At this moment. Zhao Lan even wondered if he remembered it wrongly, when he came to Watson City, did he not drive a spaceship, but came by boat?

But Zhao Lan clearly remembered that he was indeed driving the Sylvia spaceship. And it did moored here...... But what about the spaceship? Where did the ship go?

Zhao Lan looked at the service staff beside him, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on the forehead of the service staff. Not to mention Zhao Lan's special identity, even the most ordinary civilian spaceship is expensive, and if it is moored in the port, the port has the duty of custody, if the spaceship disappears mysteriously...... This will undoubtedly be a big accident.

"Miss Zhao Lan, please wait a moment, I will contact the port supervisor immediately." The service staff was busy talking, hurriedly took out the communication equipment and began to report the situation to the management personnel.

The mysterious disappearance of a spacecraft has never happened in a spaceport. Every ship, whether it leaves or enters the port, is strictly recorded by the port and allowed to enter and exit. If a spaceship would mysteriously disappear, it would be a sign that there is a serious problem with the security mechanism of the port, and the safety of the port is at stake for the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in Watson City. This is a big event, a big event that can alarm the leadership of human civilization.

"Where's my ship?" Zhao Lan muttered to himself, "It obviously stopped here...... How could it be missing? ”

Zhao Lan wanted to rush to the Star Sea Survey Observation Base as quickly as possible, but at this moment, he encountered such a bizarre thing - a spaceship that had been parked here disappeared inexplicably. But now that the outbreak of Haishan II has completely occupied Zhao Lan's attention, Zhao Lan doesn't want to delay too much time here at all. Anyway, the port is responsible for the custody of the spaceship, and if the spaceship is lost, then the port should naturally compensate itself for another one. So now, it is the right thing to get to the observation base as quickly as possible to conduct research on Seamount-2.

"Miss Zhao Lan, the supervisor has received my report, and they are organizing personnel to verify the incident, please rest assured that the port will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Wiping his sweat, the attendant said, "On behalf of our port, I apologize once again for the inconvenience." ”

"I'm not going to talk about this for now." Zhao Lan said, "Which was the last ship to return to Earth?" How long is the flight? I asked the port authorities to immediately coordinate a spaceship for me to take me back to Port Seven, as for the specific compensation for the loss of my ship...... My lawyer will contact you later. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll help you coordinate this." The waiter was busy talking, and after leading Zhao Lan into the VIP room to rest, he quickly walked away to help Zhao Lan coordinate these things.

So after waiting for another two hours, Zhao Lan finally boarded a cargo spaceship and embarked on the journey back to the Sky Survey Observation Base.

The Sky Survey Observatory is located near Port 7, one of hundreds of intermediate ports on the Earth-Mars shipping route. Port Seven is about 20 million kilometers away from Mars at this moment, and at the speed of this cargo spacecraft, it will take Zhao Lan about three days to reach it. This was another day later than the scheduled arrival time in the Sylvia.

But there's no way around it. If you don't take this cargo ship, the next passenger ship will depart three days later. Zhao Lan couldn't wait that long.

The space in the cargo ship is small, and the living environment is very harsh. But at this moment, Zhao Lan can't take care of these things. After three days of hellish suffering, Zhao Lan finally arrived at Port No. 7, and then transferred to the special ship of the observation base, and after another six hours, finally arrived at the Xinghai Sky Survey Observation Base.

Finally sitting in front of the special observation equipment, and finally seeing the wreckage after the eruption of Haishan II, Zhao Lan's whole mind was quickly immersed in this matter.

At this moment, the relevant scientists in all human civilizations are watching Seamount II, and the relevant scientists in all human civilizations are analyzing the information collected from Seamount II. The slightest change in this massive star tugs at the hearts of scientists. And Zhao Lan is just an ordinary one among these countless scientists. (To be continued.) )
