Chapter 777 From Mars to the Asteroid Belt
At this moment, Jeanna has become accustomed to Lu Xiangshan's "This is a wise decision".
In these years, no matter what she decided to do, Lu Xiangshan would say "This is a wise decision" and analyze the pros and cons in her mind, and explain the pros and cons based on this decision.
Rather, she hoped that Xiangshan would not be so... straightforward in front of some options that "normal people would choose this way".
The difficulty of going from Earth to Mars is not the same as the difficulty of going from Mars to the asteroid belt.
The main reason for this difference is "gravity".
The gravity of Mars is much smaller than that of the Earth.
Therefore, the cost of escaping the gravity of Mars is also much smaller than the cost of escaping the gravity of the Earth.
On Mars, spacecraft only need less power to enter space. In addition, the construction and maintenance costs of space elevators on Mars are also much lower than those on Earth.
In addition, Mars is the base of scientific research knights, which has its own special features. Ordinary people can get "experimental materials" here at a low price - that is, the scientific knights do not guarantee whether the materials are reliable or not. You can use them to build something at a very low price and report the measurement data regularly.
Because the cost is indeed relatively low, there are even many space elevators built by civilians on Mars. Some large wilderness settlements have them.
Some cyborgs even simply take a can of compressed air to space, and after leaving the gravity of the planet, they rely on a little jet to adjust the direction, spend a long time hibernating, and then float to a nearby satellite city.
For cyborgs, the difficulty of this kind of thing is about the same as "swimming across a river".
There is a possibility of failure, and it is not low.
But many people who have no attachment to life will do this.
It is said that there have even been records of "floating directly from Mars to the asteroid belt".
The government has adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards these space elevators.
In sharp contrast to Mars is Jupiter.
Suspended cities in the atmosphere of Jupiter. These cities are like giant airships, with all the buildings in the city mounted on numerous independent air bags, floating on the top of the troposphere in Jupiter's atmosphere.
These floating cities extend downward many collection devices. Together with the outer space stations, they form a chain for the government to collect Jupiter's resources and transport them outward.
If giant ships such as deep space battleships rashly cut into this interval, they will be captured by Jupiter's gravity and will take a huge amount of energy to escape.
Escaping from Jupiter's gravitational circle consumes a lot of energy, so the government's control over this behavior is even stricter.
When leaving the earth, Xiangshan and Jeanna almost abandoned all their weapons, and then used psychotropic drugs to suppress their internal energy reactions - this is also a technical job. Not everyone can take drugs to just suppress the neural activity of the internal energy without affecting normal activities. And Yogmoth has always hated addiction to psychotropic drugs, and it is also dangerous to be discovered.
Fortunately, in this era, it is impossible to draw a tube of blood for testing, and others can only judge whether a person is addicted to psychotropic drugs based on behavior.
Fortunately, Xiangshan is quite familiar with the brain.
As long as the types of drugs are carefully identified and the drugs with "obvious effects on the advanced functional areas" are found, and then Lu Xiangshan controls the body, it can be concealed.
Anyway, the detection of internal strength has always stimulated the advanced cortex.
Choosing the right type of drug can ensure that "Jane's advanced cortex is numb, and Lu Xiangshan's tumor is still energetic."
All this sounds simple, but Lu Xiangshan and Jeanna planned for a long time on Earth before they gathered the conditions including banned drugs and officially left.
For Xiangshan and Jeanna, leaving the Earth is such a dangerous thing.
But leaving from Mars is much simpler.
Without too many twists and turns, Jeanna arrived at the space city "Chaldea".
Chaldea is one of the neutral city-states in the asteroid belt built after Ur. Its predecessor was half of the fleet of the God of War, which was blown up here by the Seventh God of War. It was also too late to clean up the battlefield.
Basically, all cities in the asteroid belt have such origins. Either related to the Sixth God of War or the Seventh God of War.
Space City Chaldea is a relatively active city in the asteroid belt. The activities of the Seventh God of War in the later period changed the trajectory of many small celestial bodies. Under the superposition of the butterfly effect, the movement of small celestial bodies in this area is relatively disordered. The light-speed highway maintained by the government has to bypass this area, and large deep-space warships cannot come easily.
Over time, Chaldea became a place where good and bad people mixed together. Some people who were tired of the affairs of the rivers and lakes would live in seclusion here, and there were also green forests who came to trade supplies, and there were also rangers who came to hunt down the wanted criminals.
This city is a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are.
Soon after Jeanna arrived in Space City Chaldea, she caught the clues of the Six Dragons Cult.
She met the people of the Six Dragons Cult several times afterwards.
Under Xiangshan's guidance, Jeanna also realized what the Six Dragons Cult was doing here. They seemed to be interfering with the manufacture and circulation of drugs.
These secret drugs all act on the brain, which can assist in the practice of internal skills, or temporarily enhance the concentration of low-level internal martial artists.
"Perhaps the scientific research knights need more "volunteers" with internal strength." Lu Xiangshan said so.
He also has some understanding of this set.
Jeanna also learned to judge the clues of the Six Dragons Cult by monitoring the circulation of local underground drugs.
During this process, Jeanna arrived at the space city of Zion from the space city of Chaldea.
In Zion, a merchant caught Jeanna's attention. Some of the drugs sold by this merchant were not found anywhere else. Xiangshan later analyzed that the pharmacology instructions attached to these secret drugs were nonsense and did not match the actual effects. This made Jeanna think that this guy was also from the Six Dragons.
Jeanna decisively detained this merchant.
But after waiting for a long time, Jeanna did not wait for the Six Dragons to rescue her. This merchant did not show any signs of suicide.
Later, Lu Xiangshan found some "interesting" content in the merchant's records.
"Girl, your disease can be cured."
When Lu Xiangshan said this, his expression was very strange. Jeanna had never seen it before...
It should be said that Jeanna had never experienced this kind of emotion from this parasite.
"He's a biologist who's probably neutral, and probably good enough..." Xiangshan said, "You can go and tie him up. You don't need to have any conscience to deal with such a person, what do you think?"
This was the first time Xiangshan had made a suggestion in several years.
So, the two came to Ur, the largest neutral city-state.
