Chapter 728: The Smell of Martian Air

Taohuayuan No. 1 Biosphere Research Base.

Today is the second day of coming to Mars, the morning of Mars. They had just woken up, and it was five o'clock in the afternoon on Earth.

In the central command room, eight people sat around the conference table. This is the first meeting to come to Mars.

Who, as a representative, took off the protective clothing and entered the Taohuayuan No. 1 biosphere first?

This is what is being discussed now.

The experiment has certain unknowns and dangers, and they have to be cautious.

"Let me lead the team out." Hua Yan said.

She is the only Chinese woman among the eight. She looks like her name, a sonorous rose, and is also the team's vice-captain.

As an ordinary astronomy student, astronomical research is her hobby, and she wants to travel in space. Just thinking about space tourism, the cost is not affordable for any ordinary person.

When the Army Ant Group started recruiting Mars volunteers, she signed up and stood out the most, becoming one of the first eight lucky ones.

The girl is uniquely careful and resilient, complementing Pei Jie, and her leadership skills make her the vice-captain. The prestige in the team is also second only to the captain Pei Jie.

"no."

Pei Jie categorically rejected Hua Yan's proposal.

"As the captain, I should take the lead. Next, I will select two team members from you to go to the Biosphere of Taohuayuan No. 1."

"As the captain and the commander of the base, you can't take risks." Hua Yan said.

"I agree."

A player next to him raised his hand in approval.

Muhan Kede, Arab, brown skin, piercing glasses. At this moment, Muhan Kede raised his hand with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"As the captain, you should be in charge of command at the base, instead of taking risks, I can lead the team out."

Seeing that Muhan Kede also spoke, Pei Jie smiled directly.

"It's useless to agree, now is not the time to vote. I'm the captain, and I have to follow my arrangements here. Hua Yan stays, Tang Yuntao and Kasterin go out with me, and the rest listen to Hua Yan while I'm out. instruction.

"

Pei Jie made a direct conclusion.

The first group to go out was exposed to the Martian atmosphere for the first time, and the risk factor was higher. Because the outside is a completely unknown environment, and no one knows what will happen.

"Captain, can I go out instead of Yun Tao?" Muhan Kede said.

"Want to grab my spot? No way."

The honest-looking players next to him heard that Muhan Kede wanted to replace him, and immediately refused.

He looks the thinnest and smallest, but his training data is second only to Pei Jie among the eight of them. He is just a little introverted and can't be a vice-captain.

"Don't argue, just decide, and start preparing for going out now." Pei Jie made a decision.

At the end of the meeting, the three of them headed to the base's exit channel to prepare. Hua Yan could only replace Pei Jie's position, sitting at the central command post, paying attention to what they were preparing to go out.

Far away in the Flying Ant Space Center on Earth, all the experts are paying attention to their going out.

In human history, for the first time, people were exposed to and survived in an alien environment without protection. This was a milestone event.

If successful, it will prove that planetary transformation is feasible, and in the future, it will provide infinite help to human interstellar exploration.

Chen Mo is also paying attention to the status of Taohuayuan No. 1. This test is related to whether his Mars transformation project is completed. Even if he has nothing to do, he has to watch it.

Pei Jie, Tang Yuntao and Casterin were already waiting.

The three did not wear protective clothing, only their daily training uniforms, but just in case, they all carried a simple oxygen cylinder with the thickness of an arm behind their backs.

Outside the gate, there is an emergency rover and three robots waiting, ready to carry out rescue at any time.

Testing must do everything possible to ensure the safety of Mars volunteers.

"The atmospheric pressure of the outgoing cabin is being adjusted. The cabin door will open in a minute, please prepare..." Mars' artificial intelligence "Yinghuo" reminded.

As soon as the words fell, Pei Jie and the three slowly felt the difference in the cabin.

The atmospheric pressure in the cabin they were in was changing, and the atmospheric pressure was getting lower, making them feel a little tight in their chests, like people standing on a plateau.

They have been trained in the plateau, have experience in plateau survival, and quickly adapt to changes in atmospheric pressure.

A minute, it feels a little slow in this moment.

Finally, when the atmospheric pressure in the cabin is the same as outside, the DiDi sound, the artificial intelligence once again determined that the cabin can be opened.

Pei Jie was a little nervous, this door closed two worlds.

This is also a major event in human history.

He believes that in the command post on Earth, countless astronomers and biologists are waiting for what will happen next.

In the base command center, Hua Yan and others were also nervously watching the situation of the three, waiting for the hatch to open.

"Are you ready?"

Pei Jie put his hand on the handle of the cabin door and looked at Tang Yuntao and Casterin. His heartbeat is also accelerating, and it feels like it jumps into his throat. Fortunately, his mental quality is enough to quickly recover himself.

"Ready."

The two took a deep breath and nodded in unison.

click! !

The sound of the mechanical lock of the hatch turning, made the three people's hearts beat fiercely.

Like a chicken with a broken shell, the hatch was slowly opened.

A breeze rushed into the cabin, and the three of them felt different temperatures in the air, a bit like walking out of an air-conditioned room in summer.

Stepping out of the cabin door, the scene of Peach Blossom Garden No. 1 biosphere is displayed in front of you without reservation.

There is still a special smell in the air, like the smell of earth, which is different from the air of the earth, like the smell of water in a new city.

fine!

It worked.

The pictures of the three were sent back to the command center of the research base through surveillance cameras, and everyone cheered.

At the same time, in the command center of the Flying Ant Space Base, the biology experts and astronomers who saw this scene were all ecstatic.

This picture will be recorded in the annals of human development.

They clearly witnessed this moment.

"What's wrong?" Pei Jie quickly regained his senses and looked at Tang Yuntao and Casterin.

The two who were still thinking about the smell of the air came to their senses and shook their heads at the same time.

"No discomfort, like in the plateau, except for a little tightness in the chest, there are no other problems, the body is a little light, and I feel that I can jump quite high." Tang Yuntao carefully checked his body and began to describe: "These feelings are also felt in the base. The only difference is , there is a special smell in the air."

"I also smelled a special smell." Casterin nodded.

"I smell it too." Pei Jie said.

"What is the taste?"

A voice came from the three earphones. This was a question directly asked by the command center of the earth, and the voice was a little nervous.

"Indescribable, with a faint earthy smell."

"Anyway, the air isn't sweet." Pei Jie joked, and was a little serious: "That kind of feeling is like when you newly arrived in a city and drank the local water, which tastes different from the water in your hometown."

After the report, Pei Jie once again focused on the surrounding environment: "Now walk around, don't go too far, and adapt to the new environment first."

They all have ropes on them, and they're not too far from each other.

Now that they have just arrived in this new environment, it is impossible to determine other discomfort problems for the time being.

In the laboratory, Chen Mo was also paying attention to their condition, and the female ink handed Chen Mo the physical data of the three. The watches on them can monitor their health data at any time.

"Their heart rates are normal, their body temperature is normal, and their bodies are currently fine."

"Continue to observe." Chen Mo nodded lightly, relatively calm. It's just the beginning, but in any case, seeing that they are safe and sound, he is also secretly relieved.

This is a good beginning.
