"Standing on Mars" was still a proposition for me that could only be directed to the movie channel more than three years ago, at that time, I still liked to watch science fiction movies, especially weak science fiction movies related to alien planets, right, that is, the kind of movies in which Americans can always save the earth within the last 30 minutes, and the protagonists must be one or more pairs of dog men and women.

Now I can only sigh, youth is no longer like the sun and the moon, the simple boy who used to be intoxicated for half a day when he saw the lunar crater has now reached the age where he has no sense of accomplishment in withdrawing urine and mud on Mars, and at first he was still interested in this red sè planet, and he was carrying a pin cannon and jumped to find a crater to write his name, but soon she was bored with the monotonous scenery in front of her, holding the cannon and humming until I called out 700 billion, It was quiet as everyone drove to Impact Cratter No. 1.

"It's desolate, because I was a steadfast believer in aliens on Mars until I was thirteen.

Leaning on the window and glancing out, I muttered.

Outside, the Gobi Desert is rugged, and the iron oxide gives them a foul red sè, probably due to the impact of the impact

Along the way, we came across a lot of broken boulders that were completely different from the surrounding land, and the traces of the boulders were clear, indicating that these stones were new guests to the land. Instruments have shown that the stones are more or less ghostly radiated: they were ejected from the vicinity of the impact crater. The sky is cloudy, the sky is dim, the atmosphere of Mars is thin, but the sunlight is correspondingly weak, and there is too much dust in the upper atmosphere, so even though it is still daylight on Martian Day, it still looks a little dusk around. Looking at the distant horizon, he suddenly made a big discovery very happily, and said happily: "Look! Mountain range! I looked in the direction of my shallow fingers, and found that there was indeed a continuous brown "high mountain", the height of which was so even, that there was not even a single break in the length of the horizon, and I gazed curiously, and brought into play the power of my strengthened vision, and at last I could faintly see the surface of the rolling mountains: like a large patch of cotton wool that was twisting.

"It's a storm." Sandora knocked on my and Ashala heads one by one, "I said, an imperial head of state, an imperial mistress, at least you can add some common sense occasionally, okay!" How many years has the term Martian storm been invented by scientists on earth! "Holy! This is the Martian storm? So spectacular? I suddenly exclaimed, the Martian storm, it turned out to be such a famous thing, I used to see it in science fiction movies, this time I saw it, I didn't expect it to be like this, to be honest, it's really different from what I used to make up in my brain, they ...... It's much bigger than the size of the brain supplement.

At the extreme distance of the horizon, it looks like a majestic mountain range, so how big would it be if it was pulled in front of you?

I and Shallow Tsk called Huang, although I have seen a lot of magical or spectacular scenery on alien planets when I was fighting outside, but I have witnessed this kind of Martian storm that has felt particularly mysterious and powerful since I was a child, and we are still a little bit moved, and Shallow thought became active again, and she began to discuss with Sandora that if you want to fly a kite in the Martian storm, you need more sturdy kite strings, and I hugged Pandora with a blank expression and Viska with smart eyes. Trying to reduce her sense of existence, she is afraid that she will have the idea of tying a steel wire around her waist and dragging it around the Martian storm with 700 billion, this kind of thing, she can't do it.

"Wait, that's a god horse thing?"

While I was trying to lower my presence, Asa suddenly stopped talking about flying a kite inside the Martian storm and pointed out the car window in surprise.

Sandora and I immediately followed the sound, and following our shallow fingers, I saw that in the left foreground, on a small high ground not much above the ground, something had just suddenly shone in the sunlight.

"Is it a small piece that slipped through the net?" Sandora muttered strangely, "Go over and have a look." "Seven hundred billion received the order and immediately turned, and slid briskly and silently to the top of the high ground hundreds of meters away, and a few of us pushed the door down and came to something that was shining.

"It's not made in the Empire," Sandora shook her head slightly, looking at the badly damaged metal object not far away, "it's completely broken." ”

On the ground not far ahead, there lies a wretched machine, half of its body has been buried in the dust, and the outer part of the luǒlù is also covered with reddish-brown sand, and the solar panels that may have been smooth and bright are now only a third of the bare bare brackets, and the whole machine is lifeless, as if it has lost power for many years.

Shallow stepped forward and kicked the thing curiously, and suddenly the metal plate on it fell off, bringing up a cloud of dust, and shallow was not too dirty, so he stepped forward and picked up the broken and fallen metal plate, showing me the symbols on it.

The symbol of the former Soviet Union.

"This is Mars 3." Sandora glanced at the metal plate and said with some surprise, "It's here." ”

I was stunned.

"Are you sure?" I looked at Sandora in amazement, "This is the first rover to land on Mars, how do you know that?" ”

Sandora shrugged: "I'm afraid I know more about human history than you, and this is Mars 3." I didn't expect such a coincidence to happen. ”

She blinked her eyes sleepily, she really didn't know what the Mars sub was, I could only explain to her briefly that this was the first time that humans had successfully landed on this planet in the initial stage of exploring Mars, and although it stopped working after twenty seconds of operation, it still became a milestone.

Sandora took the barely discernible metal plate from her shallow hand, gently wiped off the dust from it, and put it back on the ancient detector in front of her.

Sandora stood less than five meters in front of Mars 3, quietly looking at the house, as if she was paying attention, and the ancient machine almost buried in the dust pulled a long shadow next to the faint light reflected in the dim light of Mars, like a veteran of the wind and candles, and calmly accepted this greeting.

"Reconnaissance troops, record the coordinates we are in now, this is the protected area, bypass this place when you act." Sandora ordered the reconnaissance team behind them to collect the wreckage of the fall, then turned back to the car.

In the car, I glanced at Sandora curiously: "I always feel like you were a little weird just now." "You mean to pay tribute to a scrapped detector?" Sandora smiled and gently pinched the corners of my mouth, "That's as it should be, because it's a monument, even if it's just a mass of scrap metal, even if there's only a camera on it, it's a monument, and monuments need attention."

"Tradition." Pandora suddenly choked out two words, always concise.

"It's traditional and once made by the Empire, and it's treated as law in the multiverse"

Sandora seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face from the beginning, "No matter what kind of civilization it is, it is worthy of praise when it first beckons beyond the cradle, so the Empire has made it a rule that anyone in a desolate area should salute the first probe or other relics of similar significance used by another civilization to explore space." In the laws of the empire, the zoning ... One of the important conditions for dividing whether a civilization is a civilized civilization or a closed civilization is the first probe they launch into space. ”

Asaa and I were both amazed and Sandora continued: "The first space vehicle, the first satellite, the first landing module on an alien planet, these things are all memorable, and the Empire has even enacted laws specifically for this to clarify the "civilizational status" of these things, and even the Star Domain Protoss are supporters of this decree. Some Xie Yong civilizations will also use the original probes of their own civilization that they have recovered as holy relics. These monuments are never allowed to be traded or desecrated, and the old empire once had an incident in which the first satellite landing vehicle of a vassal civilization was destroyed by pirates on the way to the memorial, and that blatant violation of the laws of the empire eventually led to the death of 4.76 billion people. I almost fell under my chair with a bang: "Beat pirates and kill so many people? That's an exaggeration! Sandora scratched her hair: "The old empire, you don't know that the way was to fight pirates at the beginning, and in less than seventeen minutes, it turned into a war between two civilizations, one of which is an imperial vassal, and the other is a barbarian civilization to which the pirates belong, after the two civilizations declared war, the local garrisons of the empire intervened, and after three warnings and confirmed that the civilization to which the pirates belonged was unwilling to surrender, the garrisons destroyed the enemy's home planet, and later it was called the "One Hour and Twelve Minutes War" Because it took an hour and twelve minutes from the time of the pirate attack to the completion of the extermination order. Similar wars were not uncommon in the old empire, when we were busy destroying the abyss on the front lines, so in line with the principle of efficiency first, we tried to compress the wars in other places to end in two hours......"

I wiped my cold sweat and thought to myself, fortunately, the old empire was finished, what kind of crazy people are these, of course, the "Civilization Monument Protection Law" they formulated is indeed tǐng.

The encounter with Mars 3 was just a little emotional, and we soon left the highlands that had been turned into a cultural reserve, and the 700 billion yuan was speeding forward on the vast and rugged red land of Mars, and soon a rapidly enlarged blue-black energy cloud appeared in the sky ahead: we were approaching the largest impact crater No. 1.

And the magnificent wreckage that fell from the sky to the ground has also appeared in the field of vision.

Like a mountain from heaven to earth, and like the earth's hideous horns poking out of the depths of hell, a huge wreck appeared before our eyes, covering the sky and the sun, and there was no top at all, its surface was glowing with a gray metallic luster, and the released ghost energy occasionally flashed over this dim mountain, like a ghostly undead, the once indestructible battleship armor was pitted, especially in front of us, the armor even cracked a huge crack large enough to penetrate the entire wreckage, from this terrible crack, All you can see is the blackened and deformed mechanical structure buried in the black secondary buffer zone and the blackened and deformed mechanical structure buried in the buffer belt, and the lightning and smoke burst out of the crack to warn those who want to approach rashly: high pressure danger, non-professionals do not open the back cover Okay, in fact, I really can't find a good word to describe this spectacular rift: how strong is it to tear an Eternal-class starship into hundreds of pieces and fall to the main material plane in such a miserable appearance?

Was it just a failed crash landing?

Or was the ship being pursued before it made a forced landing......

My heart moved as I looked at the countless cratered scars on the outer armor of the wreckage and the melt* left behind by the high-temperature shots.

Reconnaissance forces have set up a scientific outpost near the largest wreckage, a rapidly space-expanding front-line laboratory, several functional towers, and a small military station, large enough for Hollywood to be used as an original Martian colony to make a movie, but a folding house built in ten minutes.

Two Imperial technicians in white uniforms and some sorcerers were recording data under the wreckage and trying to open one of its passages when we arrived, and instead of disturbing their work, we drove around the giant in a slow circle before getting out of the wreckage.

It seems to have cut off the starship and dropped it at least ten kilometers long, which means that if it weren't for the fact that it was placed at an angle and a quarter buried in the ground, it would be higher than the Himalayas.

"This is the Eternal power section, and there is a quarter of the navigation system module, but the latter must be finished," Sandora led everyone to the door of the pipe where the skilled soldiers were busy, and judged as she said, "There are traces of weapons on the armor, there is no life reaction in the wreckage, and the crew must have all died." "Your Majesty, the Trouble Gate locks itself before the ship disintegrates" The Imperial Technician, who had been busy in front of the Pipe Gate for a long time, came up to us and reported loudly, "There is no safe way to enter the wreckage other than this pipeline." ”

Sandora frowned, "I want a solution, not that you're in any trouble." "We're going to cut the door directly, but if there's still some energy in the wreckage that the self-destruct system has, it could explode on its own."

The Imperial Technician, who was rebuked by Shandora, immediately stated their plans and possible consequences, and it was clear that he needed to report on them.

I looked at the smoke-billowing wreckage of the starship in front of me, and thought to myself, there was a hairy difference between this appearance and self-destruction......

"Don't bother, I'll test it."

At this moment, Viska suddenly interrupted the technician's report, she winked at us, and a hint of cunning flashed in her blood-red cat eyes: "Brother is so stupid, this is my spaceship!" The little girl said a word, and Sandora and I turned our heads to look at the sky at the same time, only the shallow and unclear "gods and horses" asked and asked.

Viska has come to the pipe door at this time, this thick huge round door is marked with the emblem of the Viska Destruction Corps with a blood-red face, the little girl pressed her hand on this emblem, closed her eyes slightly, and began to connect with the traffic control system that is still running in the wreckage of the battleship, since the door is locked internally and not mechanically stuck, it means that its opening power is still usable, and Viska is taking advantage of this to begin to take over the various control rights in the wreckage.

It didn't take long for this process, and when Pandora's stomach sounded "Didi" for the third time, her cat-to-eye sister sighed: "It's done!" "Zizi ......" accompanied by the serious grinding sound of the metal noise, the heavy and thick pipe entrance opened automatically, due to the energy leakage, the door kept jumping from the edge of the bright fire, but fortunately, the remaining power was still enough for the nearly 100-ton metal lump to open enough gaps. What gushed out of the noisy door was an unusually violent hot wind, which made Sandora's long hair throw me in the face on the spot, and made the shallow cough for a long time, and it took half a minute for the hot air flow to subside.

"This is an auxiliary heat dissipation channel" Viska led us into the wreckage "Although the power system has been shut down, the circulation system of the tunnel is still running, and the excess heat of the ghost coil will circulate from the main pipe in front every five minutes, and there will be hot air in this auxiliary pipe. It's an old trick, but I didn't have any blueprints in my database, so I had to design it that way. ”

As a heat dissipation channel, it is not very wide here, and the walls around it are complex and inexplicable mechanical structures and conduction cables, these deep things are of course very different from the smooth and bright alloy corridors of common imperial warships, but there is a feeling of heavy metal science fiction, this is the first time I and Qianqian have entered the "lower layer" of an Imperial starship heat pipe, and it naturally feels very novel, and Qianqian has left a lot of visits along the way, I had to help her take a picture with one of the random corners on the road: we weren't stressed, because obviously I couldn't do anything with shallow and shallow together in such a high-tech place......

Pandora had been silently looking around all the way, and although her face barely moved, I could still feel the little girl's gaze moving back and forth, and it was obvious that she was also very concerned about the warship that her twin sister had led.

The pipe was not straight, it had been twisted in many places due to the impact of the crash, and many of the pipe walls had wide cracks in which broken cables could be seen, and some large pieces of twisted metal or crystal, which parts of the original battleship belonged to were abruptly pierced through the four walls of the pipe, blocking the way forward, and Sandora had already pulled out her claws, and she was tearing these things into pieces one by one: for I was not sure about the safety factor of Pandora's way when she opened the way with the guns.

In this way, Sandora's claws cleared all obstacles in our path, and finally, we passed through the cooling pipe that sprayed people every five minutes, and after breaking through an alloy barrier, we entered the starship's personnel tunnel.
