Chapter 558: The Journey (2)
The first piece of equipment that the three of them spliced was the tool cabin.
In fact, the tool module is similar to the excavation and transportation equipment on the Copernican base on the moon, which can dig tunnels and transport some assembled cabins.
A large number of devices are modular, so assembly is so simple that it will be like building blocks.
Soon the engager-tool compartment was spliced.
"Wang, you are in charge of the excavation."
"Okay."
Like a millipede digging ground, crawling towards a low-lying sandy area not far away.
The power system of the Diggers is very special, since it is not a nuclear battery, nor a solar panel, but a magnetic monopole crystal.
That's right, it's a magnetic unipolar crystal.
Another characteristic of magnetic unipolar crystals is the transmission of electrical energy over long distances.
So the Diggrieter's power supply system is partly a wireless power system made of magnetic monopole crystals, and partly a backup emergency chemical battery.
In this way, the Diggers can directly rely on the backup nuclear batteries on the Tinder spacecraft.
Wang Shu manipulated the diggers, digging pits and ditches in the ground.
In less than half an hour, a large pit with a depth of 8 meters and a length of 20 meters was dug.
However, during the excavation, Wang Shu discovered a new situation, that is, the moisture content of the sand.
In the sand layer of 1~2 meters on the surface, the water content of the sand is very small, but with the increase of excavation depth, the water content in the soil has increased slightly.
This situation suggests that there is groundwater beneath Mars.
In fact, this situation is very normal, and the Mars geological remote sensing satellite of the Space Division has long been found to have found that there is a lot of groundwater under Mars through the magnetic field detector.
Of course, even if there is abundant groundwater under Mars, there is a high probability that Homo sapiens will not exploit it in large quantities.
After all, the total amount of water resources on Mars is too small, especially the shallow groundwater, which is pitiful.
To mine groundwater on Mars, it is better to send a spacecraft to the asteroid belt to pull a few watery asteroids.
Unless there is an emergency, the Space Division does not plan to exploit Martian groundwater on a large scale in the near future.
Wang Shu is digging a tunnel, while Di Mahi has opened an exclusive Martian live broadcast room to the other side of the earth through the communication system.
Through this live broadcast room, Di Mahi broadcasts the daily life of the aliens to the inside of Homo sapiens, as well as to the entire free world.
In front of the camera in the live broadcast room.
Dimahi, who was wearing a robot's body, switched to electronic synthesized sound to introduce the situation of the Mars base to the audience in order to avoid leaks.
"Hello everyone, I am Homo sapiens robot 0074 stationed on Mars, and now I will introduce you to the situation of Mars and the Mars base......"
Dimahi's synthesized electronic sound is very stiff, and with the gray dust background behind it, it is difficult to understand the environment.
The average person in the free world thought it was a studio in the middle of a desert.
However, the employees of Homo sapiens are very sure that the company's spacecraft has landed on Mars.
After all, Homo sapiens has created too many miracles, and employees already have a kind of blind self-confidence, and they believe in the company very much.
Compared with ordinary people in the free world, the four major forces in the free world know that the Homo sapiens spacecraft has successfully landed on the Utopia Plains through the scientific research satellites arranged in the orbit of Mars.
However, the four major forces will naturally not help Homo sapiens to promote.
For the huge investment of Homo sapiens in the field of space, the entire free world can only be described as envy, jealousy and hatred.
Di Mahi broadcast live for more than half an hour, and ended today's live broadcast work.
……
Five hours after landing on Mars.
Di Mahi, Wang Shu and others quickly went offline for vacation.
But the robot didn't stop working, because another group of workers took over the task of controlling the robot.
After all, the service life of magnetic unipolar crystals is only more than 7 years, and time is very precious.
In order to ensure that the staff will not be reversed day and night, the Space Division has also set up five special remote control centers in South America, the Pacific Ocean, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa by taking advantage of the time difference of each branch.
Homo sapiens is the power on which the sun never sets.
Taking advantage of the time difference in various places, it just ensures the six-hour working time of employees, and can fully implement four shifts, and there will be no trouble of jet lag.
In terms of humanity, Homo sapiens is definitely the world's number one.
The new upline staff member controls the robot and continues the work of the previous squad.
The Utopia station rose from the ground in a sandstorm at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming the first base of human civilization on Mars.
The dust storm on Mars is still raging.
Buried in the various chambers underground, many functions have already begun to work, such as the nuclear power tank, which is the core of the power supply, and continuously transmits electricity to other chambers.
Relying on nuclear batteries, the experimental module of the base is conducting related scientific research, although there are no humans, but the robot can be controlled by the communicator of the magnetic monopolar crystal, which is actually similar to the work of humans here.
In addition to the scientific research work in the experimental cabin.
In the other two tool cabins, there are also many field exploration robots.
These field exploration robots are not humanoid, but a variety of special-shaped robots, including: vacuum airship robots, multi-legged all-terrain robots, and crawler robots.
Among them, the airship robot has not been put out recently due to weather conditions.
On the contrary, there are many crawler robots and multi-legged robots that have been dispatched.
These crawler robots and multi-legged robots, based on the utopia station, are slowly exploring in all directions.
The staff operating these robots also control the robots from the Earth's headquarters through magnetic unipolar crystals.
Moreover, these robots also use magnetic monopolar crystals as wireless chargers, reducing the disadvantages of carrying solar panels and large lithium and nuclear batteries.
With a magnetic unipolar crystal wireless charger, these robots can work in the field for a long time.
The task of the exploration robot is very simple, it is to scout the surrounding terrain and collect soil samples from the surrounding area.
For Mars, Homo sapiens is actually very interested.
After all, according to the theory of the birth of life in the solar system currently mastered by Homo sapiens, due to the common amino acid structure of asteroids and comets, amino acids happen to be one of the basic components of the existence of biological cells.
Homo sapiens scientists have reason to believe that life exists on all planets in the solar system, but not as obvious and large as Earth.
For example, there are several single-celled organisms in the Earth's underground aquifer, not to mention Mars, which is frequented by asteroids.
Therefore, one of the tasks of the exploration robot is to find traces of life on Mars, and look at the traces and evidence of life on Mars in ancient times.
However, it is a bit difficult to find traces of life in the Utopia Plains.
After all, Utopia Plain is located in the northern hemisphere of Mars, which is covered by sandstorms all year round, and over the years, sandstorms have deposited a lot of sand on the ground.
If you want to find evidence of the existence of Martian paleontology, you must not look for it here, but look for those grand canyons, mountains and hills, so that there are possible paleontological relics that are not covered by wind and sand.
