Chapter 1,380: Rescue From Mars
To be honest, Barry was not particularly angry about being trapped on Mars. →Although he was indeed kidnapped...but this is Mars!
Barry has always been a tech geek and has always had a strong curiosity about things like space travel. He dreams of being able to travel into space one day. Although the way this dream comes true is a little different from what I imagined, at least the dream has come true!
This is Mars! ! !
Barry has been very excited after learning that he was imprisoned on Mars. He is very curious about everything here, and he is the person who rides the Mars scooter most frequently.
But no matter how interesting something is, it becomes like that after a long time.
Especially Mars...there's really not much to see. After all, their scooters are all electric-powered, and the range they can reach is always limited. Their activity area seems to be the entire Mars, but in fact, their actual activity area is only that large.
Barry wants to find water on Mars, but the problem is that there is no water at all in the area they are in. If you want to find Martian glaciers, you have to go far away.

The same is true for other scenery. It was fine at first, but as time went by, the red landscape made Barry want to vomit. There was really nothing here.
After that, Barry was looking for something to do.
But although the Skrulls don't care much about them, they are not good enough to consider their spiritual needs. So Barry could only entertain himself.
It just so happened that Barry and the others were dissatisfied with the food provided by the Skrulls.
The same synthetic starch blocks taste like konjac and are rich in various elements needed by the human body, but the taste is hard to describe.
This is Mars. Even if the Skrulls have the ability to travel between stars, it is not easy to transport supplies from Earth to Mars. The main reason is that the Skrulls do not have supporting logistical supplies. Energy for their small craft was always in short supply.
Perhaps this was done intentionally by Nick Fury to restrict the Skrulls.
But in short, the cost of transporting supplies from Earth to Mars is very high, especially since these supplies need to be supplied to the Skrulls themselves first, and what is left for prisoners like Barry and others is naturally not good.
Prisoners, as long as they don't starve to death, what else do they want?
Because of his disgust with these foods, Barry suddenly decided that they could grow their own vegetables!
First of all, Mars has soil. The soil on Mars is very much like weathered soil. There are no microorganisms, worms or other humus in the soil. But it contains many trace elements necessary for plant growth. In theory, it is possible to grow plants in Martian soil only by solving the fertilizer problem.
Secondly, being idle is also idle, you might as well find something to do.
Then came the idea of growing potatoes using excrement as fertilizer.
First of all, potatoes are easy to feed, and secondly, the Skrulls only provided them with potato seeds.
Watching Barry mix the dark 'farmyard manure' with the red Martian soil, Luke remembered something else.
[To be honest, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on updates. Changing sources allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many different sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
"How to deal with water?"
The Skrulls did provide water, but it was very little. They can only just meet the physiological needs of these people... They can't even take a bath or flush the toilet, let alone water the seeds. In addition, there is no other water found on Mars.
There is air, water, and even clouds on Mars, but there is no precipitation. The density of Mars' atmosphere is only about 1% of that of Earth. It is very dry, the temperature is low, and water is easy to freeze. Mars is basically a desert planet, with sand dunes and gravel all over the surface. There is no stable liquid water and no rain. The atmosphere, dominated by carbon dioxide, is thin and cold, with sand and dust suspended in it. Dust storms often occur every year.
"Two ways." Barry was also idle. He really thought of a way: "The first way is to use hydrogen and oxygen to burn water to produce water, and pump out the unused hydrazine from the previous descent from the mdv fuel tank. , using catalytic decomposition to obtain nitrogen and hydrogen. The basic process of MAV for ascent is to send MAV to Mars in advance along with liquid hydrogen, extract carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere, and then use a chemical reaction to produce methane as ascent fuel.”
Luke Cage said, What did you say? I don't understand it at all!
"What about the second option?"
"The second method is to collect gaseous water from Mars."
"Is there gaseous water on Mars?" Luke expressed doubt.
"Of course! There are clouds on Mars! That's gaseous water!"
"You don't want us to fly up to the sky to collect that water vapor, do you?"
Barry looked at Luke Cage's strong body and speech without common sense, and thought of the school bullies who often bullied him when he was in school. They all have well-developed limbs and simple minds.
"No, although the air on Mars is thin, it is not a vacuum, otherwise there would be no storms." During these days on Mars, they really encountered storms. The scale of the storms was very terrifying, and it even seemed like the end of the world. feeling.
"There is gaseous water in the air!" Barry explained directly: "And the Martian soil contains a substance called calcium perchlorate. Calcium perchlorate is a salt. We can use the deliquescence of perchlorate. At the same time, perchlorate can also be used in some chemical reactions to produce oxygen."
Luke Cage still didn't understand, so he gave up thinking.
"Which one is the most reliable?"
"It's more reliable to use hydrogen and oxygen to burn to produce water." Barry said.
"Then let's use this method." Luke was originally bored, so he followed Barry to play around, but he didn't want to use his brain too much.
Just when the two found an empty room and started their own vegetable planting business.
The prisoners from other "prison areas" also came to watch the fun.
They were almost bored.
There was no entertainment here. Usually, apart from chatting and chatting, there was nothing to kill time. Now there was such a strange thing, they naturally wouldn't let it go.
Even if the question was very aggressive.
Steve and Peggy stood in the crowd hand in hand.
They were the most special among all people.
For more than three months, the two were not only not bored by being imprisoned, but they liked this ordinary and calm life very much.
They were both old people, and they didn't have any special hobbies for looking for excitement.
When they were on Earth, they were still bound by a sense of responsibility and honor. Even though they were already at retirement age, they were still active on the front line. Even though they had confirmed their relationship, they were still busy and rarely had the opportunity to ignore everything and accompany each other quietly.
Now that they were sent to Mars, they had the opportunity.
After all, if they stayed here, they had no choice even if they had ideas. It would be better to accompany each other well. To put it bluntly, who knows when they will be executed by the Skrulls? It would be better to seize the moment.
A group of people watched Barry busying around there.
They were watching with relish.
Only the two of them didn't care much.
Suddenly Steve sighed.
"What's wrong?" Carter asked with concern.
She likes her current life very much. They only have each other, and don't need to consider other messy things. She also feels more like being in love.
"I don't know what the situation is on Earth... We were kidnapped, which must have brought a lot of trouble to Earth."
Although Steve likes to get along with Carter like this, he is still worried about the Earth.
Carter is the same.
But the reality is that even if they worry, it will be useless.
Of course, if she is worried about the earth, she is actually more worried about their own fate.
"No news is the best news!"
For more than three months, the number of prisoners in the prison has not increased, and the Skrulls have not dealt with them further.
What does this mean?
This at least shows that the Skrulls' conspiracy has not succeeded. After all, if they really succeed, they will be useless. Moreover, new prisoners will join this big family.
Even more optimistically, maybe on Earth, Kai and others have led other superheroes to save the world again and defeat the Skrulls.
This is why Carter doesn't worry about the earth.
On the contrary, they... stay here, there is no hope of rescue, and they don't know what the future will be like, but it is worth worrying about.
"Yes! That's right. Kai and Tony will definitely be able to defeat those Skrulls!"
Steve said excitedly.
Of course, no one knows how much of this is a forced smile.
Steve said, casting his eyes to the sky.
"Huh?"
Suddenly Steve saw a spaceship flying towards their base.
"It shouldn't be the time to deliver supplies today, right?"
The Skrulls do come to deliver supplies every once in a while. Those supplies will not be handed over directly to Steve and the others, but will be placed around the prison, and then the prisoners will drive to retrieve them.
The Skrulls were very careful in their contact with them.
"No! That's not the Skrulls' spaceship!"
Carter quickly discovered something different.
"What?!!"
Now no one cared to watch Barry stir up trouble.
A group of people crowded around several small windows, trying to see clearly what was going on.
"This spaceship... looks so familiar."
As the spaceship got closer, Carter felt more and more that she had seen this spaceship somewhere before.
Soon the spaceship came directly to the edge of the prison and connected directly to the prison.
A group of superheroes naturally couldn't make a fuss like ordinary people. They were ready for battle at the first time. If the comer was not kind, they would not sit and wait for death.
Soon the door was opened, and a fat man with a mask walked in.
After seeing the superheroes present, the fat man cheered immediately.
"Ha! I finally found you!"
As the mask was put away, a fat face that no one was familiar with was revealed.
"Who are you?" Daredevil asked on behalf of everyone.
"My name is Peter Quill, from the Guardians of the Galaxy!"
Everyone looked at each other, because they had never heard of this. Is it a new superhero group? Or is it an alien... Although this Peter Quill looks exactly like an earthling and speaks English, who stipulates that aliens must be weird?
The best example is Thor!
This guy has been a policeman in New York for almost a year, and no one has discovered that he is actually an alien.
"Follow me! I don't know how long my companions can delay. So let's go!"
Peter obviously didn't want to delay any longer, so he quickly asked them to follow him.
But most people were very hesitant.
After all, they didn't know this little fat guy.
"Did Kai ask you to come?" Carter suddenly asked.
Carter recognized Peter Quill in front of him. A few months ago, a group of alien visitors came to Earth. At that time, SHIELD received them, but the White House handed the matter over to Kai to deal with.
The Shadow Bureau did not participate in this matter, but it also knew about it. Carter also knew that Tony and his team dismantled the spaceship of these alien visitors. The spaceship is now outside. It seems that Tony has put it together for them again.
Peter nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Star Lord" Peter has been on Earth for half a year. Because the spaceship was directly dismantled by Tony... Of course he was not happy, but obviously, the fellows on Earth did not intend to listen to him. He wanted to get angry, but the problem was that he could not beat the other party!
So for a while, there was nowhere to go, so he simply stayed on Earth with a few of his companions. After leaving Earth for so many years, Peter actually didn't know much about Earth.
After all, when Star-Lord left Earth, he was only a dozen years old. What could he know at such a young age?
So, even though Earth is his hometown, he doesn't know as much about Earth as he does about other planets.
Now that he's back and can't leave, he might as well go for a walk.
It has to be said that Earth is quite different from the planets he encountered before.
Technology and primitiveness are integrated.
Every place has completely different customs and scenery.
Adding the filter of his hometown, Star-Lord is reluctant to leave... More importantly, all his expenses on Earth are paid for by someone!
That's enough to have fun.
Until the Titan War... Even though Star-Lord and his companions are well-informed, they are still scared to death by the Titans.
Gamora and the others are even more impressed by the Earthlings... In such a harsh environment, the Earthlings can actually develop like this.
By the way, they were in Munich, Germany at the time... They were almost trampled into meat patties by the Titans.
So the Guardians of the Galaxy, who were greatly frightened physically and mentally, immediately returned to the United States.
After returning to the United States, he was surprised to find that his Milano had become three!
During the months when they were out, the Stark Group not only reassembled the dismantled Milano, but also replicated two ships!
Then Kai found him and gave him a task.
It was also at this time that Star-Lord and his friends learned that the Skrulls actually wanted to invade the Earth!
They were all in the interstellar world, and they knew about the Skrulls. After all, the Kree-Skrull War had just ended not long ago, and many predators had offered bounties on the Skrulls. For predators, this kind of business is actually the easiest to do.
First, after the Skrull Empire was destroyed by the Kree Empire, the Skrulls became stray dogs and had no strength.
It is not difficult to deal with them, the real difficulty lies in finding them.
Secondly, the Skrulls have a bad reputation in the interstellar world, and no one will stand up for them. If you catch them, you won't be held accountable!
Star-Lord has done this kind of business before.
Now the Skrulls want to invade the Earth, and Star-Lord cannot let this happen for both public and private reasons.
Plus Kai promised that after the matter is done, he can decide to pay them the replica of the Milano as a reward!
So he decisively agreed to Kai's commission.
No matter where it is, a spaceship is a lot of wealth! How could Star-Lord refuse?
Then they drove three spaceships directly to Mars.
Let Gamora and the others drive two spaceships to attract the attention of the Skrulls, and Star-Lord will make a feint to the east and attack the west, and directly rescue the imprisoned superheroes!
