Chapter 5 Successful Landing
The holographic scanning system installed on the "Red Rabbit" spacecraft is the auxiliary equipment specially designed by Ye Qiuli to explore the situation of the planet and help him find the teleportation array. He wouldn't really run to a strange planet by himself, scurrying around the planet for teleportation arrays. After all, it is not a simple matter to find a man-made structure on a huge planet that is no more than a mile in circumference, and it is almost impossible to find a needle in a haystack!
As a cultivator who was only in the Jindan stage, Ye Qiuli didn't have Lu Yan's super divine sense that could cover half the world at a time, and if he wanted to find an unfamiliar teleportation array, the only feasible way was to fly slowly around the planet while searching through his own visual search, looking for it bit by bit. And if you check and search inch by inch, unless you are lucky, if you want to find the teleportation array, you don't know what year and month it will take.
This is a relatively simple situation, looking for the teleportation array on those barren planets and primitive planets, there are no other buildings built by intelligent beings on them that affect the identification of terrain and landforms, and there is no trace of the teleportation array being destroyed by human life, it is clear to find it, and there is no human interference. It would be infinitely more difficult to find traces of a teleportation array on a planet inhabited by humans, and countless man-made structures would definitely be a headache.
When Ye Qiuli first built the spaceship, he installed so many absolutely advanced holographic scanning and imaging systems combining electronics and optics on it in order to cope with this situation, so as to reduce his burden to the greatest extent. After all, there are so many terrestrial planets that it is impossible for him to search every planet in detail on his own, which is completely unrealistic.
In the absence of the help of other cultivators, if he wants to find the teleportation array as quickly as possible, for Ye Qiuli, the best way is naturally to use the power of science and technology to draw the terrain and landforms of the entire planet into an electronic map, and then compare the environment, use the elimination method, directly skip those areas where it is completely impossible to exist teleportation arrays, and then focus on investigating those places where teleportation arrays may exist.
In this way, after excluding most of the irrelevant regions, it is much easier to search again, and the workload will be reduced countless times. To be honest, distinguishing the characteristics of the teleportation array among the countless suspicious buildings, cultivators may not be able to compare with modern technological means. Of course, this is not to say that the cultivator's ability is insufficient, but that modern scientific and technological means are just good at this.
What's more, there is also a very obvious advantage of using modern technological means to find the teleportation array, that is, it can easily detect the abnormal magnetic field on a planet, which is many times more convenient than the naked eye observation of cultivators. Because of its unique mode of operation, the teleportation array will have abnormal magnetic fields in its vicinity, providing the most eye-catching sign for using technological means to find it.
The teleportation array set up by the ancient cultivators, when breaking through the space and connecting different planets, actually used the huge power of the planet itself, and the crystals embedded in the teleportation and the mana input were actually just an introduction to activation, and the teleportation array itself contained powerful power. Under the influence of that huge energy, the magnetic field around the teleportation array will be distorted to a certain extent, although it may not be easy for humans to feel it, but the technological means can definitely easily detect it.
Just like the teleportation array on the earth that has been shattered and destroyed, Ye Qiuli has gone to the site of the ruins to check it, and the environment of the Bermuda Triangle region where it is located is very weird, space, time, and magnetic fields are often chaotic, and some things that cannot be explained by science often happen.
In fact, the reason why there was such a change there was because the energy fluctuations generated by the other teleportation arrays connected to the Earth Teleportation Array during use affected the Earth. If the teleportation array on the earth was still intact, these effects would naturally be controlled and could not erupt, but now the teleportation array on the earth had already been damaged and shattered, and the impact of energy fluctuations could not be controlled, which naturally caused some mysterious and strange things.
This feature is also the main basis for Ye Qiuli to design and manufacture the teleportation array search system and find the teleportation array. If you want to further confirm the existence of the teleportation array after discovering the magnetic field anomaly, you can also compare the local geomorphological features to see if there are any standard man-made structures. Because the teleportation array is definitely a standardized and neat artificial building, not only is the scale very large, but the human characteristics are also very typical. As long as these characteristics are discovered, then finding a teleportation array is basically nine out of ten sure.
Practice has proved that the intelligent search system installed by Ye Qiuli on the "Chitu" spacecraft is indeed very powerful, and it only took five or six hours before and after to record all the terrain and geomorphological features of Mars, and through the processing of the intelligent light brain, a three-dimensional map of Mars was drawn with an accuracy of millimeters.
After spending a lot of time and carefully checking the suspicious areas marked out by Zhi Brain, Ye Qiuli really felt a little disappointed. Naturally, there was no teleportation array on Mars, but those places that might be the remains of cultivators were also ruled out by him one by one, and none of them could give him the slightest surprise.
This result couldn't help but make Ye Qiuli deeply feel that Mars and the moon are indeed the same star, and they are both barren planets that are completely unsuitable for human existence, but the moon is more favored by earth cultivators because it is closer to the earth, not only every person who has achieved cultivation may fly up, but there are several treasure relics left, and Mars may also have people coming, but in the end, there is not even a name left.
"Chitu, let go of the landing gear and prepare to land on Mars. Continuing to fly around Mars several times, repeatedly comparing the suspicious areas marked on the electronic map, and confirming that there was nothing special, Ye Qiuli once again issued a new command to the central brain of the "Red Rabbit" spacecraft.
"Yes, the ship is landing, please be ready. After receiving Ye Qiuli's order, the "Red Rabbit" spacecraft did not hesitate for a moment, and quickly chose a plain location in the southern hemisphere of Mars and began to land vertically.
Hearing the prompt of Zhi Brain, Ye Qiuli, who was in the cockpit, immediately took out his spacesuit, put it back on his body, and prepared to set foot on Mars. Although the previous electronic search did not find what he hoped for, he still decided to land on Mars in person, not for anything else, but to leave a few words on Mars, "Ye Qiu is here for a visit!"
Anyway, he had already done the same thing on the moon, and he was not afraid of a few more. It would be interesting to be able to shock the whole planet again.
......
Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system from the inside to the outside, belonging to the terrestrial planet, with a diameter of 6,787 kilometers, about half of the Earth, the inclination of the axis of rotation and the rotation period are similar to the Earth, but it takes twice as long to revolve around one circle. Known as Mars in the West and Glowing in China, the planet's orange-red appearance is due to the reflection of hematite (iron oxide) on the surface.
It is a very barren desert planet, with sand dunes and gravel on the surface, and no stable liquid water body. The carbon dioxide-dominated atmosphere is thin, cold, and dry, with countless amounts of sand and dust suspended in it, and huge dust storms occur every year. Compared to the warm and comfortable Earth, the climate of Mars is very cold, with an average temperature of only -55°C, and the average surface temperature is as low as -63°C. At both poles of Mars, there is a polar crown of water ice and dry ice that grows and wanes with the seasons.
Similar to the lunar environment, the desolate and silent surface of Mars is also littered with craters formed by the impact of meteorite hits. And it is the same as the earth, with a variety of terrain, mountains, plains, hills, canyons, etc., but due to factors such as small gravity, the terrain size of Mars is very different from that of the earth, and the height or depth of mountains and canyons is very amazing, far exceeding the similar terrain of the earth.
For example, Mariner's Valley in the southern hemisphere of Mars, this canyon stretches for more than 5,000 kilometers, is 500 kilometers wide, and can reach about 6,000 kilometers deep, which is incomparable to any canyon on earth. The Olympus shield volcano in the northern hemisphere of Mars is even more amazing, this large volcano with a diameter of 600 kilometers is 26 kilometers higher than the surrounding area, and more than three times the highest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest.
In addition, the terrain of the northern and southern hemispheres of Mars is also very contrasting, in the north of Mars, there are low plains filled with lava, and in the south there are ancient highlands densely packed with craters, separated by obvious slopes, interspersed with volcanic terrain, numerous canyons, polar crowns of dry ice and water ice at the north and south poles, and wind-formed sand dunes spread across the planet.
In fact, the reason why Ye Qiuli chose to land in the southern hemisphere of Mars, where craters are extremely dense, rather than the northern hemisphere, where the terrain is more gentle, is precisely because of the peculiar topography of the southern hemisphere of Mars.
Previously, when he searched for Mars through the scanning and imaging system installed on the "Chitu" spacecraft, he found many meteorites from the sky in the southern hemisphere of Mars, including a lot of high-quality meteorites. And he finally decided to land on Mars in person, the main purpose was to collect these rare refining materials, as for the matter of leaving a message on Mars before, it was actually just his temporary bad taste.
