The old man gave a speech regarding the successful landing of Starship V3 on Mars.

The old gentleman stood on the stage, facing many media and people paying attention to the matter, with a proud and gratified smile on his face. He cleared his throat and began to speak slowly: "Today, we witnessed a historic moment together - Starship V3 successfully landed on Mars."

"This is a big step for mankind to explore the universe, and it is also another milestone in the development of our country's aerospace industry!"

"Although we have been questioned by many experts." The old man said this with an accentuated tone.

"But everyone saw the results."

He paused, his eyes flashing with excitement: "The successful landing of Starship V3 not only proves our country's strength in the aerospace field, but also demonstrates our brave pursuit and unremitting exploration of the unknown world."

"Our first Mars immigrants overcame countless difficulties and experienced countless trials and failures before finally achieving this great feat."

The old man’s words were full of respect and praise for Carter and the other three people. He continued: “This achievement is inseparable from the hard work and selfless dedication of NASA and space exploration technology personnel. They worked day and night to overcome the One technical problem after another has made great contributions to the development of our country’s aerospace industry!”

He changed the subject and talked about the future: "The successful landing of Starship V3 is just the beginning. Our road of exploration is still long. In the future, we will continue to promote the development of the aerospace industry, deeply explore the mysteries of Mars and other planets, and provide humankind with Make greater contributions to the survival and development of the universe."

"I believe that in the near future, we will see our people on Mars! The footprints of the Ugly people will be everywhere in the universe! Let us join hands and work hard to realize this great dream!"

"I hereby declare that Mars will be the fifty-first state of our country!"

The old gentleman's words caused a huge sensation in Blue Star like a bomb.

The ugly people were naturally very happy when they heard this.

Mars is now conquered by their people, and that is their place. There is nothing wrong with that!

But others are not as happy as the ugly people.

"What do you mean? They want to monopolize Mars?"

"That Lao Deng is so greedy, he even wants to take Mars for himself!"

"The Chinese built a lunar base on the moon, and they have never made such outrageous remarks. Ugly people are crazy, right?"

"This is a blatant attempt to claim Mars as their land. It's so shameless!"

The international voice is getting louder and louder, making leaders of various countries unable to sit still.

Finally, after several discussions, it was decided to hold the first space conference.

The Oukong Bureau was worried that their weight was not enough, so they specially invited people from China to participate.

Director Lei of the Space Center who received the invitation did not want to take any notice.

Finally, under the arrangement of Lao Zhou, Shan Xing and I went to participate.

"Lei Ju, we don't need to speak today, just wait for others to express their thoughts."

Director Lei was surprised: "Is work so easy today?"

"Don't you even need to speak?"

Shan Xing smiled slightly and explained: "Lei Ju, you have misunderstood. Our task today is not to speak, but to observe and listen. We must understand the positions and attitudes of various countries towards the Mars issue, so that we can better formulate our response Strategy."

"They are the ones who are worried now, we are not in a hurry."

"So this time we mainly observe their attitude and then discuss countermeasures?" Director Lei asked tentatively.

Shan Xing nodded and added: "Yes, we need to understand the positions of each country and observe their strength. This is crucial for us to formulate future aerospace plans."

"What do we have to worry about now that we have a moon base?"

"You have to believe that the people participating in this meeting will never agree with Ugly Country's approach until they have the ability to independently land on the moon and Mars."

The meeting began, and representatives from various countries took to the stage to speak, explaining their views and propositions on the Mars issue.

Naturally, representatives of the Ugly Country unceremoniously advocated that Mars should be owned by them, while other countries expressed their opposition, believing that Mars is the common wealth of all mankind and should not be monopolized by any one country.

The meeting was in full swing, with various views and opinions intertwined, forming a heated debate field. Director Lei and Shan Xing sat quietly in the corner, observing everyone's expressions and movements, and listening to everyone speeches and responses.

They noted that while the countries differed widely, they also had some commonalities.

For example, everyone believes that the exploration and development of Mars requires international cooperation rather than unilateral action.

In addition, everyone also expressed strong dissatisfaction and concern about Ugly Country's hegemonic behavior.

"You have the ability to land on Mars now, but that doesn't mean Mars is yours!"

The construction of the lunar base is not only to demonstrate China's strength, but also to promote the exploration and use of space by the entire human race.

He looked at Shan Xing and saw that Shan Xing was also smiling. He was obviously satisfied with this evaluation. Everyone knew that China's actions had won wide recognition and respect from the international community.

The meeting continued, and representatives from various countries expressed their opinions and propositions. However, no matter how different the opinions were, everyone agreed on one thing: Mars is the common wealth of all mankind, and no country can occupy it alone.

Ugly country doesn't care what they think.

"I want to say that you can give your opinions, but please show your strength!"

"You can't even land on Mars normally, so what qualifications do you have to point fingers here?"

His words immediately triggered a wave of dissatisfaction and rebuttal. Representatives from various countries expressed that although their aerospace technology may not be as advanced as the United States, they are also full of enthusiasm and expectations for the exploration and development of Mars.

Moreover, the consensus of the international community is that Mars is the common wealth of all mankind and should not be occupied by any one country alone.

"Strength? Do you think only your ugly country has strength?" A representative from Europe stood up with a hint of provocation in his tone, "We may not have the ability to land on Mars yet, but we have the will and determination to cooperate. .”

"We believe that by gathering the power of all the countries here, we can definitely make a breakthrough in exploring outer space!"

After hearing this, the representative of the Chou Kingdom changed his expression slightly. He obviously did not expect that anyone would dare to openly challenge his authority, and he did not stop there and continued to express his opinions.

Finally, the meeting ended with intense discussions and debates among representatives from various countries.

It wasn't that they had come to a conclusion, but that they were tired of arguing.

Without ten days and a half of this kind of meeting, it would be difficult to come up with an answer.

In the days after the meeting, representatives from various countries began intensive consultations and exchanges. They hope to jointly promote the process of Mars exploration through strengthening cooperation.

Director Lei and Shan Xing are not stupid, so what good is it for others to put high hats on them at this time?

So no matter what others say, they rarely express their opinions.

For them, if the ownership of Mars has not been determined, then it is not worth their while.

Daxiong’s representative knew that he could not rely on others for this matter, so he quickly sent the news back to Daxiong.

After receiving the news, Alexander from the Big Bear Space Commission found Ivanov.

"Nov, we can't just wait for others to solve this problem. We should take the initiative."

Ivanov frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

"Monitoring NASA's Mars communications channel."

"This can only happen if Volodya agrees. I can't make the decision."

"Okay, then I'll go find Volodya."

At the same time, tens of millions of kilometers away, Carter was concentrating on sampling work.

She was wearing a heavy spacesuit, and the display screen inside the helmet reflected the peculiar textures and colors of the Martian surface. The sampler in her hand made a slight buzzing sound, accurately digging into the Martian soil.

Carter operated carefully, fearing to miss any valuable samples.

Not far away, Tucker is operating a rover. This rover is equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras and can detect the geological structure, magnetic field changes and atmospheric composition of Mars. Tucker skillfully controls the rover, sometimes letting It moved forward slowly, occasionally stopping for detailed measurements.

Elsewhere, Cruz was busy filming a video. He holds a high-definition camera, sometimes aiming it at the vast plains of Mars, sometimes focusing on the strange rocks and sand dunes. He hopes to show the magnificence and mystery of Mars to the people on the Blue Planet through the lens.

"How long do you think we'll be filming here?" Tucker drove the rover to him.

"It says to take pictures every Martian day."

"Every Martian day?"

"This must be a disease!"

Tucker's eyes widened, obviously confused and dissatisfied with such a request. The length of Mars day and Blue Star day are different. Shooting every Mars day means that they will face long and high-intensity work.

Cruz sighed, put down the camera, and looked at the endless red plains in the distance. He understood Tucker's complaints, but as the first group of Martian immigrants, they shouldered important missions and responsibilities.

Obviously, Tucker's consciousness was not that high. He said: "If it weren't for the large amount of money, who would be willing to come to this place where birds don't shit."

"This idea most likely came from the old man. That old guy keeps coming up with bad ideas every day!"

As soon as Tucker finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly swept over, and the dust instantly filled the entire field of vision. Cruz, Tucker, and Carter immediately realized that they had encountered a common sandstorm on Mars.

"Quickly, get in the cabin!" Cruise quickly put away the camera and led the two of them to run towards the nearby Mars rover. The Mars rover was their mobile fortress on this desolate planet and their only haven from bad weather.

Tucker and Carter followed closely behind. The three people's steps were staggered by the strong wind. The power of the sandstorm was far beyond expectations. The strong wind carried the red dust of Mars, as if it was going to swallow everything, and their sight was completely obscured. , can only run forward relying on memory and intuition.

Finally, they arrived at the rover with difficulty. Cruz quickly opened the door, and the three of them got in one after another. As soon as they entered the car, they couldn't wait to close the door to isolate themselves from the raging wind and sand.

The relatively closed space in the car provided them with a temporary peace. Cruz, Tucker and Carter leaned on their seats, breathing heavily and feeling the terrifying power of the sandstorm raging outside the window.

Through the window, they could see the chaos outside.

The red sand and dust from Mars rolled in the strong wind, forming a scene that blocked the sky and the sun. The roar of the wind was like the roar of a giant beast, which made people shudder.

"This sandstorm is really terrible!" Tucker said with lingering fear, "We have to drive to the landing cabin immediately!"

Cruz nodded. He knew that the dust storm on Mars was very powerful and its duration was uncertain. They could only wait patiently until the dust storm passed.

"Fortunately, NASA has previously predicted the recent dust storm cycle on Mars, and this time it will pass within an hour at most."

Tucker started the Mars rover, and after driving to the vicinity of the lunar module without any danger, they quickly entered the module.

They breathed a sigh of relief after entering the cabin. After resting for a while, they continued their work and sent out the Mars diary. Carter began to sort out the data detected.

after awhile.

Carter found that the sandstorm outside had not stopped and said, "It has been an hour and a half and the sandstorm outside has not stopped yet. Isn't the forecast given to us by NASA inaccurate?"

Carter's words caused both Cruz and Tucker to stop what they were doing. They looked at each other with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

Cruise quickly took out his communication equipment and began urgent contact with NASA, hoping to obtain the latest weather information.

However, intermittent signals came from the communication equipment. It was obvious that the sandstorm had also affected the communication. Cruz anxiously tried to reconnect, but the result was still a failure.

"It seems that the sandstorm is much more serious than we thought." Tucker frowned and began to check the status of the landing module to ensure that it could cope with a longer sandstorm.

Carter also walked to the window and carefully observed the situation outside. He saw red sand and dust still raging in the air, and the wind seemed to show no sign of weakening.

"We can't just rely on NASA's forecasts," Carter said calmly, "We need to be prepared for long-lasting sandstorms."

The three began to work together, and Cruz was responsible for inspecting and maintaining the equipment of the landing module to ensure that they could operate normally in the sandstorm.

Tucker is responsible for organizing the data that has been collected and backing it up just in case.

Carter began to formulate long-term plans to deal with sandstorms, including food and water reserves, and how to find safe shelter in sandstorms.

Time passed little by little, and the sandstorm still showed no sign of stopping. The three began to feel a little anxious. This was their first time on Mars and their first time encountering a sandstorm.

The three of them didn't want to do anything else at all, so they all sat up in the landing cabin.

Until the communication device made a sound.

The sound from the communication equipment instantly broke the silence in the landing cabin, and the three people immediately looked at the equipment that made the sound with vigilance.

Cruz quickly walked over and connected the communication signal.

"This is the Mars Exploration Team. What instructions do you have?" There was a hint of expectation in Cruz's voice, hoping to get some latest news about the sandstorm from the Blue Star Base.

There was a burst of noise from the communication equipment, followed by a familiar voice: "This is NASA. We have detected that the dust storm on Mars is gradually intensifying, and it is expected... that it will not stop in the short term."

Cruz:? ? ?

That’s not what I said before!

"How is this possible?" Cruz couldn't help blurting out, "Didn't I say before that the sandstorm would pass soon?"

The voice from the communication device explained: "I'm sorry, there was an error in our previous forecast. According to the current forecast information, this sandstorm may last four to five months."

"The climate change on Mars is very complex, and sometimes unexpected situations occur. We are currently re-analyzing the data and striving to give a more accurate forecast."

When Cruz was about to curse, Carter stopped him.

"Okay, I hope you can reply to us as soon as possible." Carter took over the communication device and turned off the call after speaking.

She said to Cruz and Tucker who were staring at her: "We have to rely on them to get back to Blue Star. Now is not the time to argue with them."

Cruz took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He knew Carter was right, they now really needed to rely on NASA's support to return to Blue Star. However, this sudden change still made him feel very dissatisfied.

"If the sandstorm really continues for four to five months, what should we do now?" Tucker asked, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"In four to five months, our water and food will be gone."

…

"Report to Mr. Alexander! We intercepted the latest call from NASA's Mars call channel!"

After listening to the call between NASA and the Mars exploration team, Alexander smiled: "Spread the news."

"I want people to see the true face of Chou Country's technology!"

Soon, news spread that the Chou Country's exploration team encountered a long-lasting sandstorm on Mars.

In the midst of the chaotic discussion, someone came to his senses.

"I remember Academician Luo from China once reminded them to pay attention to sandstorms, and the Ugly people even mocked Academician Luo!"

"If they don't listen to Academician Luo, it will be a disaster!"

"Although Academician Luo spoke a bit bluntly, he was absolutely right!"

"Isn't it tragic if you don't listen to Academician Luo?"

"Academician Luo still talks too much. In this case, you should respect the fate of others!"

"Wait a minute, Academician Luo also said that their starship V3 would have problems. Could this also happen?"

The original ridicule and questioning of Luo Yao seemed to have turned into recognition of him at this moment.

Because Chou State had previously announced that it would take Mars as its own, the detection team's encounter with a sandstorm did not receive much sympathy from many people. Many people were looking forward to Luo Yao's reaction.

After Luo Yao got the news, he was not in a hurry to ridicule.

He didn't respond.

Instead, he turned off all communication devices...
