When Ou Zhanpeng and Ling Xiao floated into the bridge, the other 22 people had all arrived, everyone fixed themselves in various ways, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the main screen - a familiar red planet filled the screen, half hidden in the dark, and most of it was reflected in the sun, like a round of red

The alien escape pod is suspended outside the planet, flying slowly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 48 people on the expedition are one of the groups that all mankind cares about Mars the most, but the optical equipment equipped on the ship does not have such a high resolution. The image in front of you is taken by six deep-space telescopes in Earth's orbit and then optimized and synthesized by professional software.

Although you can see the panorama in the panorama, after zooming in, the mountain cracks on the surface of Mars are still clearly visible.

Not only that, but there are several other special viewing angles from the surface of Mars in the corners of the screen, which are the rovers that have been launched over the years, as well as the probes orbiting Mars.

Although only by accident, they do play a huge role in monitoring the escape pods.

"What does that mean, you're going to land today?" Ling Xiao guessed without any basis.

"Not necessarily." Ou Zhanpeng had a different opinion, "The moon was not in a hurry at that time, why should it be circled a few more times at this time?" ”

Until the escape pod circled into the shadow of Mars, there was still no sign of landing, Ou Zhanpeng knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Okay, don't stay here and gather together, what should you do!" ”

When you wake up once every three days, in addition to taking care of personal hygiene, there is also a very important task, that is, exercising.

The reason is the same as above, it is still because cryogenic sleep is not freezing.

By the time everyone had completed the scheduled training and was back in the sleeping pod, the escape pod had already flown around Mars seven times, and no aliens had landed on Mars except for the time when they entered the shadow of Mars and were out of human sight.

With a little regret, everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Although the answer will be revealed as soon as possible, and although it will not make a difference if you know where the alien species landed immediately, there is an irrepressible urge in everyone's hearts to know the final result as soon as possible.

When he woke up again, Ou Zhanpeng learned that not long after they fell asleep, the alien species had landed on Mars and were now busy on the surface of Mars.

Hurriedly taking care of his personal hygiene, Ou Zhanpeng immediately rushed to the bridge.

The main screen is still the appearance of Mars, but instead of a panoramic image, it is a small part of the ground, where a swarm of giant species and a few brainfish machines are busy in a clearing.

But his gaze fell to the corner of the screen, where there was a panoramic image of Mars, and the escape pod was slowly rotating around it.

He was suddenly shocked: "The escape pod didn't land?" ”

Several people led by Luo Tu turned around together: "There is no landing, only a group of aliens have landed." ”

Ou Zhanpeng was a little confused.

According to his idea, the alien species should land in the escape pod, and use the remaining resources in the escape pod to build a base as quickly as possible.

But why don't aliens play cards according to the rules?

He wanted to know what the alien species was busy with, but everyone was not familiar with the situation of the alien species, and it was in vain to ask.

Since then, every time he wakes up, Ou Zhanpeng will rush to the bridge as soon as possible to learn about the new changes in the enemy.

The technology of aliens is far more powerful than imagined, and every time he thinks about the speed of the construction of alien bases, Ou Zhanpeng's mood becomes very heavy.

In late July, Ou Zhanpeng woke up again, and the one on duty had been replaced by the second group, and the first main building of the alien base had taken shape.

According to messages from the moon, it was supposed to be part of the life-sustaining system, which collects water.

In addition to this, there are some simple buildings that are under construction.

The speed of the alien species once again refreshed Ou Zhanpeng's cognition.

Now that the water harvesting system has been completed, presumably the enemy's base is already functional. In terms of scale, the number of above-ground buildings is very small, so there must be a considerable amount of underground space.

At least a lot of pipelines.

Even more worrying is the escape pod, because during this time, no more aliens have landed, but the escape pod has remained in orbit.

This situation did not exceed the Command's expectations, but it weighed down on everyone's hearts like a boulder.

In early August, the second batch of alien species finally landed on Mars, establishing a second base at the north pole of Mars.

In the blink of an eye, in late August, the third batch of alien species landed.

Three groups of people and three bases, the ambition of the alien species is not small!

At the end of August, Ou Zhanpeng led three teams to take over the warship, and their work was not only daily maintenance, but also to keep an eye on the movements of alien species.

Until this time, everything was still developing according to the upcoming orbit, but just after the end of August, Ou Zhanpeng suddenly found that the alien escape capsule was raising the orbital altitude!

This situation immediately aroused his great concern.

In just a few hours, the speed and orbital altitude of the escape pod have increased by leaps and bounds, and Ou Zhanpeng immediately woke up several other team leaders.

Inform the ground?

Don't make a fuss, the Martian images obtained by the battleship are entirely from the ground, and the command will only get the news sooner than the expedition.

The team leaders soon arrived on the bridge, the first time since the ship's departure that the four team leaders had met.

"What's wrong?" Lotu asked.

He is not only a team leader, but also a genuine captain, and no matter what goes wrong, he is the first person responsible.

Ou Zhanpeng responded in a deep voice: "The escape capsule of the alien species is accelerating, and I judge that it is to leave Mars." ”

Several people changed color at the same time, and Luo Tu immediately checked the orbit data of the escape capsule: "Judging from the current situation, the possibility of detachment is very high, I am really afraid of something!" ”

Everyone wants the aliens to stay on Mars so that they can deal with the enemy once and for all. But everyone also knows that alien species are not stupid to that point, and the probability of leaving Mars is very high.

"It's still early, so we'll have to wait a little longer." It was Xu Qing who spoke, because she was good at communicating with people and had a particularly good popularity, so she was appointed as the leader of the fourth group.

Lotu said in a lost tone: "It's nothing more than two places to go, one is the asteroid belt, and the other is Jupiter...... Hey, where is Jupiter? ”

Ou Zhanpeng immediately called up the top view of the solar system: "Here!" ”

When everyone saw it, their hearts were even heavier.

The people present are all experts, and it can be seen at a glance that it is the window period for Mars to fly to Jupiter.

"Some of the alien species stayed on Mars, and some flew to Jupiter, and it is obvious that the alien species also know the truth that eggs cannot be put in one basket, so the soldiers are divided into two types to spread the risk." Ou Zhanpeng said.

"The aliens must have discovered our warship a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't be in a hurry to leave." Xu Qing said.

Lotu's eyes were deep: "The question now is for us, whether to continue to carry out the original plan to destroy the Martian base, or to pursue the escape pod instead!" ”
