Chapter 810 Watching the Sunset on Mars
"...Come back a little further, come back a little, yes, reverse, right here, put it down."
"Expand that robotic arm, and it will automatically connect with you over there. Then you don't have to worry about it. Come over here and help me."
"Be careful. These devices are very expensive. It doesn't matter if you drop them. If an accident happens during the process and your spacesuit is damaged, you will be in danger. Just keep an eye on it. "
"We are going to connect these two pressurized cabins together. Just keep an eye on it and don't have any accidents. Take your time. This is where we will live for the next half month, so we can't be careless."
"Yes, not only do we have to live there, but in half a month the people who are left behind to guard the spaceship will come and replace us. We can't make them have no place to live. That would be too boring, haha."
"That's our food over there. Let the robot move it over and put it into the pressurized cabin that has been docked."
"This way, work harder, we're going to have dinner together in the Mars base before dark!"
"Ula!"
"Oh yeah!"
"…………"
Mars hasn't been this lively for a long time, this kind of liveliness that belongs to life.
Perhaps a long, long time ago, when Mars still had liquid water and a dense atmosphere, the life that may have existed in the past was also so lively, but now, only Musk and his team are explorers from the earth.
Dong Chen was not idle either. Although he followed them to Mars mainly to see the scenery, he also had a large team of robots, all of whom came to work.
And he himself controls the robot to move around, moving this and that, without the airs of a chairman at all.
Of course, the main thing is not that he works hard. His biggest activity is to use the consciousness helmet to command his robot.
And this busyness lasted from the time they first landed to the first night they arrived on Mars.
The place they are staying in now is very good. It was a location they selected after thousands of choices. They can study most of the conditions on Mars without having to go too far.
Next to this place is a mountain. A dozen kilometers to the left is a large canyon, and further away is a place similar to a dry river bed. A dozen kilometers to the right is a huge crater, etc.
Basically, you can study any terrain or geological conditions you want to study, and it is strong enough for some places where life may exist.
And there are some strange places around here, such as a suspicious pyramid-shaped geological environment and something that looks like a statue. They are all magical places that can be explored.
It’s not very clear from space, so you can do some on-the-spot investigation at that time, which will help you solve some puzzles about aliens.
Especially after the Earth discovered the "Atlantis Civilization", these things on Mars have become even more suspicious. No alien relics have been found on the moon yet, but Mars must not let them go.
So they included these things in the scope of this inspection, and then chose this place.
When I visit these places, I will definitely record a real issue of "Recent Science - The Mystery of Searching for Aliens".
Generally, when looking for the mystery of aliens, they will visit the scene in person. Those who are willing to commit will go to foreign countries and travel around the world.
They were also present at the scene in person, but they were more willing to spend money than those TV crews and went directly to Mars.
Moreover, it is indeed a recording session, not a live broadcast.
After all, Arclight Aerospace is afraid of discovering something extraordinary, so it would be better to read it yourself first and then release it.
Since many things are ready-made, they just need to be connected, and the automation is also very good, so it took most of a day to set up a temporary base.
By evening, they had taken off their spacesuits and gathered in the restaurant wearing only casual clothes on board. Twenty people gathered around four tables and started their first meal on Mars.
The first meal was indeed, as Musk said, a bit crude. It was all space food. At most, it was just some food that needed to be heated, so you could have a hot meal.
Although there are many varieties and the new products taste good, much better than the space food on the International Space Station, it is still far behind compared to the food on the spacecraft.
But even so, the atmosphere in the restaurant is still very warm.
"...Come, let us raise our glasses and wish us a successful landing on Mars and create history!"
"To Mr. Dong Chen! To Arc Light Aerospace! To ourselves...these warriors! Haha!"
"To Mr. Dong Chen! To Arc Light Aerospace! To ourselves!"
"Ha~ Drinking coffee is not enough. It's better to have wine at this time. We always drink vodka at our gatherings."
"It doesn't matter, Vladimir. When you return to Earth, you can find me. I have the best vodka there, as well as our Chinese Moutai, so you can drink as much as you like."
"Old Li, you are so shameless. You didn't tell me about such a good wine. When you return to Earth, you have to join me."
"Haha, guys, we are on Mars. We have tea, coffee, and juice to drink. What's not satisfying? I never dreamed that I would drink tea in casual clothes on Mars."
"Yes, our arc-light aerospace company is indeed number one in the world. Tomorrow I will be the first to go on a mission to Mars and collect samples from the nearby mountains. Bless me! Cheers!"
"Guys, we have successfully settled in the Mars base. We need to take a photo on the Earth side for promotional purposes. Look here, look at the camera..."
One team member set up the camera and asked everyone to look at the lens. Then he set the countdown and hurried to his previous seat, picked up his coffee cup and raised it with everyone, shouting, "Hello, Earth!"
Outside the base, Mars is extremely beautiful in the evening, a beauty that can never be seen on Earth.
The sun that was about to "set" was still dazzling, but it did not turn fiery red like on the earth. Instead, it turned into a blue sun, and even the sky around it was reflected in blue.
But it’s just the area around the sun. The farther away from the sun, the less blue the sky becomes. Until the sky in other places completely turns into a pinkish red, it is completely different from what is seen during the day, similar to what a painter depicts. It's tawny.
This is because the atmosphere on Mars is thin and the red dust blown by the ever-stop wind gives Mars such fantastic beauty.
But at such moments, with the flying sand and the monotonous red world, it always gives people a feeling of loneliness and desolation.
The lively atmosphere is firmly locked in the small Mars base. Once beyond this Mars base, there is boundless silence.
Because Mars now is a veritable death planet!
Musk looked at the beautiful world outside the window and felt the lively atmosphere around him, and this idea suddenly came to him.
When will Mars become lively again? Maybe this is what they will be busy with in the future.
There was no words for a night, and the world outside the base was a "pseudo" violent world of wind and sand.
When the sun rises the next day with faint clouds of carbon dioxide dyed blue by ultraviolet rays, a new day begins again.
