Hou Dalin was shocked at first when he learned that some of the brains in the Hall of Eternal Life system had regained consciousness, but after the shock, he was relieved again.

It is true that it has long been believed that consciousness exists because a certain area of the brain carries the consciousness of the human being. When the area is damaged or whatever, then the human consciousness dies naturally.

However, this is just a speculation, and in the history of human science, many things we know are actually speculations. When another phenomenon or law occurs, we overturn the previous speculation and replace it with a new one, and this is the way of progress in theoretical science.

Of course, in the field of brain science, there is of course another explanation in addition to their previous cognition. That is, human consciousness may also be some kind of energy body, which is only present in our brain most of the time. At some point, this energy body can even exist independently of the brain.

This is also the explanation of the soul by many people, of course, this statement is only a conjecture, and so far, there has not been a single experiment to prove it.

Although Hou Dalin invented the Hall of Eternal Life system, there is no question of how to explain what true consciousness is, and how it exists and operates. He still can't say he knows, and even he doesn't know anything. All of this is speculation.

Their speculation may be infinitely close to the correct answer, but it may also be thousands of miles away and contrary to the truth.

After learning about this situation, the ground took this attitude more seriously. Paying attention to the ground, they told Hou Dalin that they must not act rashly, and they must do their best to prevent Lily from destroying the only sample.

From this point of view, some people are more enthusiastic than themselves when it comes to uncovering the truth of the human soul.

However, this attitude on the ground is exactly what Hou Dalin needs. He hadn't intended to take Lily's right away, and if he did, she would have had no chance of winning by the first time Lily spoke to him.

Hou Dalin wanted to use Lily's hand to drive the spacecraft to Mars. There, he can unravel the secrets of the things he is most interested in. This kind of thing can't be put on the earth, and even put it in the orbit of the earth is very dangerous, only Mars, which is far enough away from the earth, can make him feel at ease and boldly carry out the experiment he wants to do.

However, it is not so simple to go to Mars, although Hou Dalin made full preparations in this spacecraft before coming up, but at that time he didn't think about going to Mars at all, so even if he was fully prepared, it was very insufficient at this time.

The biggest thing he brought with him was water. It's easy to understand that water is not only something they have to drink every day, but it can also be used to obtain oxygen by electrolysis. Most importantly, most of Hou Dalin's abilities require water as energy.

Although at present, their water is enough for them to use for a year or two, Hou Dalin may only use this water to ensure everyone's survival, he still has a lot to do, and when the time comes, this water will become precious.

In order to get enough oxygen and food, Hou Dalin directly made some algae plants. The variety is specially cultivated by Hou Dalin, as long as there is a sufficient quantity, it can not only solve the problem of oxygen, but also solve the carbon dioxide that everyone breathes.

In addition, in order to get more things, Hou Dalin also got some flies. Using the larvae of flies, plus some algae plants, he was able to get the nutrients for Lily and Tang Jianping. As disgusting as it sounds, it's nothing to their lives.

Hou Dalin's food needs is not enough, but with Hou Dalin's presence, it is still possible to keep them from starving to death after consuming some water resources.

During the six months they flew to Mars, the daily task of the four of them was to work hard to stay alive. Even the entire cargo compartment of the spacecraft has been turned into a small ecological closed-loop system by them. Although there are loopholes in this system of one kind or another, under the adjustment of Hou Dalin from time to time, this small ecosystem still ensures their health to the greatest extent.

Of course, when it comes to good health, the most important thing to thank is the small gravity room that Hou Dalin built. Although his area is very small, it is really not easy to find such a place in space where human beings can live normally.

Because there are four people now, although Tang Jianping's body is biochemically structured, a long time in space will also have an adverse impact on his body. Therefore, under the command of Hou Dalin, the upper floor of this small gravity room has been transformed into a dormitory for the four of them.

Coming in through the middle door, there are bunk beds on each side. The bed is not very wide, at most about 80 centimeters, but it is such a narrow bed, but it gives the crew great comfort.

Then in the remaining space, they actually placed two long tables to work in this room.

Another house has also been remodeled, and it is obviously too luxurious to use it for fitness alone. They took the remaining space and installed a shower and toilet. For people like them, it is definitely a luxury to be able to go to the toilet and take a shower normally.

Of course, in addition to life, Hou Dalin did not let them be idle all day. According to the plan, Hou Dalin would bring up some training projects or equipment assembly work from time to time to pass the time. Now that he has arrived on Mars, of course, Hou Dalin can't just look at it in the sky.

In the cargo hold of the Shenlong, there is a return capsule. The original purpose of this return capsule was to prevent them from abandoning ship and escaping in the event of an accident on the Shenlong spacecraft. But now it has helped them a lot, and with this return capsule, they can even land directly on Mars.

However, this also faces a very important problem, that is, it is easy to land, how to return?

"Then don't come back! At least not to come back for a short time. Hou Dalin gave an almost cruel answer.

"How can that be!" Pan Dong was the first to disagree. Although Hou Dalin did not say who to let go down, it is obvious that the person who may go down in the end is Hou Dalin.

Hou Dalin waved his hand and said, "Old Tang, are you willing to carry out this task?" ”

"Me!" Tang Jianping was stunned by Hou Dalin's words, this request was cruel enough, although he had such a mental preparation when Hou Dalin said it at the beginning.

"Yes, you. Of course, I can't let you do such a task alone. With you, there will be one more person. ”

"What do you say about Lily?" Tang Jianping immediately guessed Hou Dalin's thoughts.

"It could be Lily, of course, there could be another spirit."

"You mean the resurrected one in the Hall of Eternal Life?"

"Yes, I want you to help me do some research on Mars, of course, this is only temporary, we came in too much of a hurry this time, and we didn't have any equipment to land on Mars. But it doesn't matter, I'm going to put some of my research here, and we're bound to return to Mars for a while. ”

"I believe that, but will the Martian environment allow us to survive?"

"That's why I built these devices during that time. Your body is biochemical, and its adaptability is much stronger than that of a human body. Moreover, the nutrients needed are easier to obtain, and the ability to fight against heavy metals in Martian soil is incomparable to human beings. So with the blessing of these devices, there is no problem with normal survival.

Of course, this is also our wishful thinking, but after you land, our Shenlong will fly in orbit for more than a year, and try to solve the practical difficulties you encounter. ”

Tang Jianping nodded, he knew that this matter was very risky, and it was even too much to say that it was nine deaths. But he was born with an adventurous spirit, and he was still eager to take on such a task.

"And what exactly is our mission?"

"The task is simple, the first is to survive. The second is to complete some of the experiments I gave you. ”

After Tang Jianping listened, he nodded silently. Although this request is very impersonal, it can even be said to be cruel. But who makes only him suitable? And listening to Hou Dalin's meaning, this time he will definitely find a way to leave Lily here.

For leaving Lily on Mars, Tang Jianping is actually willing. Anyway, he felt that Lily was a ticking time bomb now, and her thoughts were too extreme. But it would be a waste to just humanitarianize her. You must know that the spirits nowadays are very, very rare, and they must not sacrifice such a sample unless they have to.

Then exile became the best option. Moreover, by exiling Lily, her behavior can be better observed and studied, which in turn can provide more data for future experiments.

When Hou Dalin told Tang Jianping about his plan, they were less than a month away from Mars. During this time, Hou Dalin instilled various experimental knowledge in Tang Jianping. Even in order to allow him to better carry out experimental work, Hou Dalin installed a miniature computer in his body to help him process various things and store some experimental data.

Pan Dong and Ma Tian were not idle, they took over the daily work of Hou Dalin and Tang Jianping, and at this time in the cargo hold of the Shenlong, they were busy in a tense and orderly manner, preparing for Tang Jianping's future landing work, making preparations for various equipment.

When Hou Dalin's plan was reported to the earth, it caused great controversy. Many people disagreed with his plan, and even the one who proposed to build the Hall of Eternal Life in space did not support Hou Dalin's idea at this time.

There is only one reason, and that is that it is so far away, and there is almost no control over the project on earth.

But Hou Dalin's reasons are also very good, and this discussion lasted until Shenlong entered the orbit of Mars, and the earth reluctantly agreed to this plan. And this time he specially explained to Pan Dong and Ma Tian, no matter what, Hou Dalin could not be allowed to land on Mars.

Of course, Hou Dalin did not plan to land this time, although according to satellite and later data, it is shown that there is such an ice sheet at the poles of Mars, and it is likely that there is also water. But this is just speculation after all, and he will definitely not set foot on Mars easily until it is confirmed.

"Okay, let's rest early today, I'll be on duty first, it's an hour later, you're replacing me." Hou Dalin issued an order.

Of course, he did it to do something he didn't want others to see, like getting rid of the Lily outside.

But the first thing he had to do to deal with Lily was to open the door to the isolation pod. This is a physical lock, and logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to open it from the inside. But he has a system, and with the blessing of the system, this kind of lock is the same to him as if he didn't have it.

But in order to cover up his system ability, it is impossible for him to let others see what he is doing now, so he can only break everyone away.

Hou Dalin entered the isolation cabin, followed the door, and he broke the lock that Lily added on the other side. Immediately, he walked in with such a loud stride.

Lily was wearing the robot body at this time, trying her best to control the ship. Although he connected the ship's control system to the Eternal Life Hall system, many operations could not be done by relying solely on automatic control.

Therefore, at this tense moment of orbiting, Lily did not dare to be careless, and put all her energy on controlling the spacecraft.

Now his body is very short, which is extremely inconvenient for her to operate. Coupled with the lock on the door of her house, there has never been a problem in the past six months, which makes her too paralyzed by security issues.

But when she was the most nervous and the least vigilant, Hou Dalin came.

He floated lightly behind Lily, just touching her seat with his hand, Lily disappeared in this world, Hou Dalin's consciousness entered the space, and found that Lily happened to stay inside, so he was relieved.

Then, he removed the inner tank that held Lily's brain from the robot. Then he picked off a few tentacles on his inner tank. Now, Lily is just like Tang Jianping at the beginning, although his consciousness is still very clear, but in front of her eyes, there is only endless darkness, and nothing can be done about the rest.

Hou Dalin released Lily's inner tank from the space, and then threw it on the ground. At this time, Hou Dalin called Pan Dong and them through the intercom system and came over to take over the control of the Shenlong.

Pan Dong and they were more surprised than anyone else at this time, they really couldn't understand, why suddenly, this Lily had a convulsion? Not only did he get the lock open, but he also let Hou Dalin sneak attack, who should he talk to?
