Chapter 239: Human Footsteps
The rocket took off and entered orbit.
Because of the existence of mithril, the spacecraft can be made very large.
There are seven people in the cabin, two women and five men, all of whom are elites among the elites in the aviation field.
Among them is Geng Xu's grandson Geng Jia.
"In about sixty days, we will reach Mars and enter Mars. The robots will go out to build an ecological space. About five days later, the unmanned rocket carrying supplies will also be launched. The first thing we do when we land is to prepare to receive supplies!!"
"Next, I will arrange the itinerary, conduct physical training, psychological counseling, and equipment maintenance. Don't be too relaxed. Our launch this time is very important. The whole world is paying attention. It must be successful!"
Geng Jia gave everyone a boost.
In fact, everyone was not that nervous. I don't know how many times they simulated before coming. As long as they follow the process, there will be basically no problems.
Soon, the cabin became busy, with training training and equipment inspection.
And Geng Jia input various data and transmitted them to the earth.
At the same time.
A figure suddenly appeared in the pure gold crack in the void of Mars.
This person has long hair and wears a simple Taoist robe, as if he has traveled through time from ancient times.
This is Xu Xuan.
"A familiar place!" Xu Xuan took a deep breath. Unfortunately, there was no fresh air. There was no oxygen in this place, and it was very cold. At a glance, it was all desert.
Xu Xuan let go of his divine consciousness, walked and sensed, and took a step to cover a distance of several miles.
There was no water or living creatures in this place, but there seemed to be a little solid ice underground, but it was impossible to rely on this thing to support life.
"Hey, I finally satisfied my fantasy about Mars back then." After a long time, Xu Xuan sighed with satisfaction.
Wanting to be an astronaut when you grow up is the dream of many people when they were young.
Xu Xuan was able to come to an alien planet, but he did not become an astronaut, but took another path - the path of personal extreme sublimation.
Xu Xuan looked at the blue stars and thought, "I really want to be hit by a nuclear bomb."
Before, I admired nuclear bombs very much because they could hurt me, but now I am not so afraid of them.
After all, he was in the Qi training stage before, and he could only run when facing a nuclear bomb. As long as he was a few kilometers away from the core killing force, he should not worry about the remaining radiation.
Now he is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and the essence of life has changed greatly. It is no big deal to face a nuclear bomb now.
Even the high temperature in the center of the nuclear bomb is not enough to compare with the true fire of the sun and the true fire of the phoenix. As for the impact of the nuclear bomb explosion, there is no need to be afraid.
The most rigorous nuclear defense building in modern times is only a few meters thick reinforced concrete and lead shell. Xu Xuan's defense is at least better than a few meters thick reinforced concrete, right?
And the most important nuclear radiation, needless to say, the pollution ability is not as good as the monsters in the weird world, and it will be gone once the true qi turns.
So Xu Xuan is still looking forward to being hit by a nuclear bomb.
Of course, it is better to be cautious. His character is not the kind of adventurous person.
What if the technological level of this world has developed to the extent that it can hurt himself?
"A little looking forward to it." Xu Xuan withdrew his eyes from the blue stars.
After staying in the outside world for about half an hour, Xu Xuan felt a little repulsive. He thought about it and went back. His footprints in this world were just rows of footprints.
His body has initially adapted to this world. It won't take long before he can stay here for a long time.
About sixty days later.
Boom!
The spaceship landed heavily, and the robots were released to start building the base.
Although there were no major technological breakthroughs in human beings, other technologies were still produced steadily. The mithril and red gold brought by Xu Xuan brought unimaginable breakthroughs in materials science to this world. Mithril has toughness, hardness, strong heat insulation, and adaptability, and red gold is almost the same.
"Xia Han, send the picture to Earth and report safety." Geng Jia said to a woman in the spaceship.
Looking at the images sent by the robot, the young man around couldn't help but sigh and said, "Mars is really not suitable for human habitation. Gengjia, which plan should we adopt to build a base?"
"The first set of ground plans, our current materials are enough to support the ground base, the underground base is too troublesome, and it is not suitable for building large cities in the future."
This is just a base point. They are very ambitious. Based on this base point, they will at least build a large city that can accommodate 50,000 people.
Five days later.
Three rockets carrying supplies arrived.
On the earth.
The whole nation looked at the live broadcast and couldn't help cheering.
The news host said excitedly: "This is the most important step for mankind to move towards space, marking the beginning of human space colonization."
What happened in Shenzhou was also broadcast in real time to other continents; Yinzhou, Europe, Australia and other places where human developed civilizations are located.
In this century, the Shenzhou people took the lead and led the trend of the times.
"Can we build a base on Mars?" German Prime Minister asked his staff.
"No." The staff's answer was simple. "If we force ourselves to follow suit, the resources we consume will be unbearable. Be careful. This is a technological competition in Shenzhou, and the purpose is to consume our current strength."
"Let's do finance. Finance is the most important thing. At least our financial capabilities are better than theirs." Another man with black hair, a small hat, and a hooked nose said.
Is there anything more important than making money with money?
"Okay."
Some people are catching up, some are playing ostrich, and some are mocking.
Space exploration itself is a low-profit thing. What benefits can be gained by launching more spacecraft?
How much maintenance cost does a space base require? From the perspective of benefiting mankind, this kind of thing is undoubtedly very great; but from the perspective of interests, it is simply stupid and there is no benefit at all.
A few months passed.
Yuezhou.
Gengxu invited the leader Wang Changqing, the heads of relevant departments, scientists, and investors Xu Si and Emperor Xu Quan.
After hundreds of years, the Xu family is still standing. Although it is no longer a powerful figure, it still has a great influence in the political world, and the same is true in the world.
Arriving at the hall full of ceremonies, the hall first displayed a picture delayed for more than ten minutes.
"Everyone, this is the picture of the Mars base." Geng Xu pointed to the base that looked like an inverted glass bowl and said.
"The picture we are seeing now is the image transmitted from the base vehicle from time to time. The base vehicle is carrying out the exploration mission."
The scene of Mars is a bit like the Gobi Desert, which is endless and desolate.
After watching for a few minutes, it was all this scene, and everyone seemed a little bored.
Xu Si is a middle-aged man with a square face. Unlike the delicate and elegant emperor next to him, he gives people a feeling of hard wrist.
Xu Si suddenly whispered: "What do you think about the recent frequent weird things? Have you seen the video of Siam?"
The video is about a sorcerer. I don't know what the sorcerer is crazy about. He killed his whole family and half of the village with cruel means.
The local constable shot him more than a dozen times but he didn't die. He even killed several people in return. In the end, he used a large-caliber sniper rifle and fired five consecutive shots to smash the guy's head.
This phenomenon of invulnerability attracted the attention of many people.
"I saw it." Wang Changqing said with a serious face, "The video is real. We are still studying the content. The exercises are still not practiceable. Maybe it is a new type of biochemical man studied by the West."
The concentration of spiritual energy in this world is still not enough for people to practice, but some weird things still activate this polluted spiritual energy.
Everyone exchanged information. As expected, almost all of them had laboratories studying mysticism, but no results were produced.
After a long time, everyone turned the topic back to alien exploration.
"Is there really no life on Mars?" Wang Changqing asked. I don't know when they can complete this feat of pioneering.
"Absolutely not. The atmosphere is thin, there is no oxygen, the climate is cold, and there is radiation. Although there is a small amount of solid ice, it is not the basis for the birth of life." Geng Xu shook his head.
Even if they successfully colonize Mars, they can only stay in the Mars base. The environment outside is harsh, and people will die after being exposed for a while.
Where is there any life...
Wow!
At this time, everyone was in an uproar.
"Footprints, there are footprints on Mars!!"
"Have Gengjia and the others left?"
"No, Gengjia and the others are still in the base. They will report if they go out, and this place is 20 kilometers away from the base..."
"...From the traces, it means that these footprints were left before they arrived!"
