What kind of experience is it to fall from hundreds of kilometers?

Lu Zhou felt that after this expedition, he would probably have more say than anyone except the Orbital Airborne Brigade.

The feeling of standing on the critical line of life and death caused the adrenaline in the body to soar, and he clenched the armrest of the cushion seat with both hands tightly, and even heard his heartbeat.

The moment the landing capsule fell into the sand, the first time that Lu Zhou felt so kindly, life was so beautiful.

as well as……

The Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology of Jinling Institute of Advanced Research, it is time to consider the issue of user experience.

With a violent tremor, the heavy alloy hatch opened suddenly.

The strong wind wrapped in yellow sand from the cabin and blew on everyone.

Unlocking the connection of the cabin life insurance system, Professor Fernall, who stood up from the cushion seat, walked out of the cabin. Looking at the vast desert where he entered, his eyes were filled with shock that could not be said.

"God ... feels like you're in Egypt."

"Egypt?"

"Ok……"

His knees touched the ground, Professor Fernal, kneeling on the ground, picked up a pile of sand from the ground and held it in his hand. He felt the touch of the alien star through the graphene fiber, and his face was filled with excitement and shock. Expression.

"... I used to work there for three years, from the Nile to the Sahara desert, and our archeological team's footprints have crossed the entire border ... but even so, I have never seen such a spectacular view."

"Have civilization ever existed here?" Immediately across the door that fell to the ground, Lomonov squinted his eyes, looked over the heavy sand and dust, and looked at the only touch above the skyline. The disc-sized light, and then glanced at the gamma counter on the wrist-mounted computer, "... even Chernobyl would not be worse than here."

"It's still possible from an astronomical point of view," squinting his eyes, Professor Aubrey said meaningfully. "Compared to the age of the universe, our civilization is only a brief moment."

"According to the academic view, maybe 3 billion years ago, perhaps 4 billion years ago, before the Martian Earth core had cooled down, there had been an atmosphere thicker than the earth here, and freshwater lakes were distributed on the surface of the planet. And the ocean, in theory, has the conditions to give birth. On the contrary, the earth was the world of purgatory at that time, probably like Venus today. "

Open the positioning device and set the coordinates. The last land boat that came out of the landing module looked up at the Mars rover in the distance, interrupting the chat on the public channel.

"Let's stop discussing academic issues first, everyone will pack up and get ready to go to the base."

When it comes to packing things, there is nothing worth packing. Each person's personal belongings are only a 26-inch aerospace-only luggage case, which is embedded behind the shell of the landing bay.

When the crowd dragged their numbered luggage from the landing bay, the Mars rover in the distance also drove beside the crowd.

The door opened outward, and the astronauts, who were not tall or short, jumped from the car and walked quickly to the front of Lu Zhou. The voice was agitated and incoherent.

"Lu, Academician Lu, are you really here in person?"

Looking at the excited astronaut, Lu Zhou shook hands with him and said with a smile.

"It's me. Don't be so nervous. What's your name?"

"Fan Tong!" The astronaut continued cheerfully. "May I ask you for a signature?"

Fan Tong?

The name Lu Zhou is familiar to him. If he remembered it correctly, he should be a researcher of the "128 Outlier Project", strictly speaking, he belongs to his research group.

"Let ’s go back and talk about it. You go to drive first, and I have something to ask you later."

"Yes!"

Li Zheng made a salute, Fan Tong quickly climbed back to the car.

Lu Zhou also turned around and began to greet others to tie their luggage to the Mars rover, and then took the lead to drill into the Mars rover, and instructed Fan Tong to drive the Mars rover to return home.

Because the landing point itself was near the base, when it was not open for a long time, when they approached the base, they saw three dome-shaped domes under the support of the blue tail flames, slowly moving from the air to the base. Falling down, it was deployed on the open space beside the scientific research base in a hurry.

After seeing this scene, several international friends sitting in the Mars rover's faces unexpectedly showed surprise expressions. In particular, aerospace engineer Lomonov from Russia, stared straight out of the car window with both eyes straight, and the whole person stayed there.

"God……"

"How did you do that?"

After hearing this murmur, Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"As you can see, it's nothing special."

Lomonov turned his head and looked at Lu Zhou with a strange expression.

Nothing special is ok.

Thousands of tons of colonial capsules are directly dropped from the outer space orbit, and deceleration is completed by the active jet device, and even the landing area is adjusted slightly, and accurately falls in the circled area ...

Lomonov asked himself

Thinking of this, Lomonov couldn't help feeling sad.

Although he came to the Jinling Space Launch Center from Moscow with the purpose of studying, and he was already prepared to be shown, he still did not expect that the gap would be so far.

From the space launch technology to the exoplanet landing, in all the processes he has gone through, he couldn't find even a place where the Russian aerospace group is relatively leading.

These Chinese people not only completely ate the entire industry chain, but even the technology of each link to the extreme he can imagine. It seems that they are indeed too far behind the times, so that the gap between them can no longer be described simply by a sentence or two.

Passing by the newly completed functional colony, the Mars rover slowly entered the garage of the scientific research base.

With the heavy fall of the alloy gate, people finally cut off the long-awaited sight, and cut off the hustle and bustle of the yellow sand outside the car.

The cleaning fluid was sprayed out of the buffer room, covering every corner of the Mars rover in all directions, and then a group of people got off the train and successively rinsed with the cleaning fluid and purified water.

After the ventilation device filled the buffer chamber with air, they changed their outer spacesuits, stuffed them into their own cabinets according to their numbers, and took out light clothes to put on.

At this time, the side of the alloy door opened side by side, and Captain Liang Youcheng, the chief of the scientific research base, walked to the front of the group and said with a smile to everyone.

"Welcome to the Mars Research Base, Liang Youcheng is the captain of the scientific research team stationed here. I hope you can get used to the life here in the next month or even two months. I will take you to their respective places in a while. In the room, the dinner time is 18:00, Beijing time is the standard. Before that, you can move freely, or you can follow me to visit the inside of the base. "

"In addition, I have heard of your mission. If you need help, just tell me."

After speaking, Liang Youcheng looked at Lu Zhou and asked with his eyes if he had anything to add.

"... The basic situation is like this. I am free to move before dinner, or follow Captain Liang to visit the facilities here. I have nothing to add," after he nodded towards Captain Liang and handed over the arrangements of these people to him. Lu Zhou continued to look at Fan Tong standing next to him, "Dr. Fan, come with me."

Fan Tong immediately stood up straight and nodded.

"Yes!"

The doorway of the buffer room was separated, and a group of people followed Captain Liang to their respective rooms, while Lu Zhou took Fan Tong to the conference room next to the buffer room.

Seeing that the alloy door was closed, Lu Zhou pulled a chair and sat down as if in his own home, and then signaled to Fan that he would find a place to sit, and then opened the door and said to the mountain.

"Simply tell me what's going on here."

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything about Project 128."

Hearing the number 128, Fan Tong's expression suddenly disappeared, and he nodded and said.

"I have been studying this matter for this month."

"In order to understand why those fault structures suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, I tried to send a remote control car to explore the cave underground, but because of the limited transmission distance of electromagnetic wave signals, we can only use remote control technology to operate, so remote control The radius of the car's movement is limited. I can't go deep into the special place, but I still find a lot of suspicious things. "

Lu Zhou: "So suspicious?"

"Yes."

Fan Tong nodded his head and continued with a solemn expression.

"The topography below the Hell's Gate Mountains is very frequent, with a large change occurring almost every 71 minutes and a small adjustment at 34 minutes. As for that seismic structure, it appears randomly and has not been found statistically for the time being. What is the law. At first we thought it was a special geological structure of Mars, but then based on the feedback of the distribution and intensity of seismic waves, we found that things are not so simple. "

"There is no indication that regional earthquakes have caused such strange and frequent changes in its underground structure. In contrast, it is more like some kind of mechanically driven handling."

"Mechanical drive?" Lu Zhou hesitated slightly, then said with a smile, "How is this possible?"

"I don't think it is possible, but there seems to be no better explanation," Fan Tong's face showed a headache expression. "In theory, for two or three billion years, no matter how great the project, it will Lost in the long river of time. However, apart from human factors, I really can not think of any possibility that may cause such strange changes in those tunnels. "

"It's almost like ... there's alive there!"
