#642 - Chapter 642: The Spacecraft Arrives on Mars
In the following 10 days, dozens more underground bases completely lost contact, with situations mirroring the Suiyang settlement.
Dongfang Chen sensed that Huaguo (China), was about to change.
He reported this situation to Old Qin.
Old Qin only said one sentence: What's coming will eventually come.
Yes, what's coming will eventually come.
If the Moni people were so easy to deal with, humanity wouldn't have been extinct 1 billion years ago.
Dongfang Chen couldn't help but recall the octopus photo deep in Mengka's memory.
It was a silicon-based octopus.
Its existence definitely had a reason.
Perhaps this reason is the Moni people's true means.
......
Today is a special day.
The first fully charged Zhen Crystal has been sent from the central control station, transported back to Blue Star (Earth) by a miniature nuclear-powered transport spacecraft.
A new era is slowly arriving.
Dongfang Chen planned to use the first Zhen Crystal for the construction of the Mars base.
Now, the loss of contact with Huaguo's bases has further strengthened his idea.
Blue Star is already developing in an uncontrollable direction.
The technology mastered by the Moni people is definitely not simple, and the uncertainty of whether the space station can operate safely is increasing.
Therefore, building the Mars base as soon as possible and completing data migration has become a top priority.
"Xiaolin, has the investigation into the mutants within the base been completed?"
"It's completed."
"What's the situation?"
"Within the Huaguo range, the total number of mutants in all bases is 23.65 million."
"How much?"
Dongfang Chen was shocked.
Have mutants become as common as cabbage?
"23.65 million," Xiaolin confirmed again.
Currently, there are less than 500 million survivors in the entire Huaguo range.
That is to say, one in every 20 people is a mutant.
This scale is quite exaggerated.
"What about the Barto City base?"
"180,000," Xiaolin replied.
"Hiss ~" Dongfang Chen gasped.
He had always thought that Barto City was relatively safe, after all, it had been operating independently.
He didn't expect that there were so many suspicious people inside.
"Compile a summary according to the level of abilities."
"Okay, the summary has been compiled according to the level of abilities."
A chart appeared on the big screen.
From the chart, it can be seen that in the Barto City base, there are 2 level 7 ability users, 32 level 6 ability users, 687 level 5 ability users, ......
That is to say, in the Barto City base, there are more than 700 mutants who are more powerful than Modo the Great Elder hiding.
This is really strange.
Why don't these powerful mutants stay in Modo's place and instead hide silently among the crowd?
"Xiaolin, deploy nanomachines on these people as soon as possible. Once the Queen Bee is attacked, eliminate them immediately."
"Okay, Commander. Due to the large number of people, it is expected to take 10 days."
"Yes, as soon as possible. Also, create an independent area in the base to be used as a prison. The protection ability must be strong, I plan to use it to imprison mutants."
"Okay, Commander."
Another 20 days, 60% of the settlements nationwide have completely lost contact.
At the same time, the spacecraft carrying the Mars orbital satellite and the Queen Bee successfully arrived at Mars.
When the Zhen Crystal was transported back to Blue Star 10 days ago, it had already been loaded into the Queen Bee.
"Commander, the miniature nuclear-powered transport spacecraft has successfully arrived in Mars orbit, should we release the satellite?"
"Release."
"Okay, the satellite has left the cabin and is adjusting its attitude."
"The satellite has successfully entered orbit, should we connect?"
"Connect."
"Okay, connecting."
"Connection successful. Communication signal is normal."
"Please ask if you want to launch the Queen Bee."
"Launch."
"Okay, the miniature nuclear-powered transport spacecraft is about to enter the Martian atmosphere."
"Decelerating."
"2000 meters."
"1500 meters."
"800 meters."
"200 meters."
"Safe distance has been reached, should we launch?"
"Launch."
"Okay. Launched."
"The Queen Bee has landed and is starting up."
"The Queen Bee has started up and is establishing a connection."
"Connection successful, communication signal is normal."
"Commander, the conditions for the construction of the Mars base have been met, do you want to start the mission?"
"Start."
"Okay, the mission has started."
After receiving the instruction, the Queen Bee directly broke through the ground and drilled down.
This Queen Bee is not the same concept as the Queen Bee on Blue Star.
The Zhen Crystal integrated inside it is enough to support it to work independently on Mars for millions of years.
In this case, there is no need to build a geothermal power room, and the construction cycle will be much shorter.
The first step of the mission is to build a supercomputing center.
In the future, this supercomputing center will serve as the main backend, so the scale is very large.
"How long will it take to complete the supercomputing center?"
"Estimated about 20 days."
"Okay."
Now another Zhen Crystal has been transported from the space station.
We can start producing small spacecraft.
