It has been nearly two weeks since I landed on Mars, and it has been three days since the life support unit was renamed "New Virginia."

During this time, the new Virginia study station...or the colonial work was going very smoothly. Although there was a sandstorm that lasted for 17 hours, it ended in a terrible past.

In fact, the sandstorm itself is not dangerous in the atmosphere where Mars is a hundred times thinner than the Earth. The danger is that electrostatic lightning, which is co-occurring with sandstorms, and the long-term decline in light, cause solar power plants to fail to get enough energy.

However, this kind of thing has been taken into account by the space-x Mars colonization project team, which is equipped with a generator for burning methane, which can replace the solar power generation device.

At the same time, the first thing after the colonists landed was to install lightning rods for their new home to prevent possible accidents...

Although they encountered a lot of trouble in adapting to life in Mars in the early days, fortunately they succeeded in overcoming them. At the same time, when working with the Nasa Ground Command Center to complete the scheduled scientific test tasks, Johnson usually takes half an hour every day to record the program of Mars Diary.

As Columbus of the New World, he certainly hopes that more people will be interested in his "New Virginia". Therefore, when shooting, he usually chooses to show the good side of colonial life, risky and not dangerous, and ignore those bad places.

In fact, the broadcast of this "large colonial advertisement" was quite successful. People accidentally ate this set and discussed the life on Mars enthusiastically. After each episode of "Mars Diary" is broadcast, it will cause a lot of hot topics on fb and Twitter.

So far, five episodes of "Mars Diary" have been released, and it has become one of the most popular online programs in North America. Many TV stations have received broadcast rights from space-x.

Today is the filming work of the sixth episode.

Supporting the lens on the table, Johnson stepped back two steps, revealing a white mouth, laughing and greeting the camera.

"Hey, everyone, I am Johnson, the captain of the Heart of Gold! I haven't seen you for a long time, we have met again!"

"Unfortunately, we have suffered a sandstorm like the Opportunity! We can't go out and explore the outside world today. But we can't go out for adventure today... but don't worry about us. We don't go out because we are afraid of being blown away by the wind. That thin atmosphere is even It’s no different from scratching a tornado, blowing it on your body.

"Let's talk about something else today, I will show you what we will do in the colony when we can't go out..."

As a result, Johnson picked up the camera from the table and walked to the public activity area next to it, explaining to the audience what they usually did, and how to use the vr game equipment or treadmill here. time.

"This is where we entertained... Although it looks narrow now, it is the initial stage of entrepreneurship, and everything will be fine... Taiwei, say hello to everyone."

Taiwei’s face, which was playing the game, had a helpless smile, but soon he was replaced by a smile in the eyes of Johnson’s eyes.

Johnson returned a "good" gesture and squeezed his eyebrows at him.

"I will cut it for you just now, don't thank me."

"That I really thank you."

Taiwei rolled his eyes and put on vr glasses to continue to kill in the ocean of video games.

In fact, life here is quite boring, far from the utopia that Johnson described.

However, these things are obviously not suitable for this half an hour, or even if he accidentally showed it, space-x will help him to delete the part when editing the video. .

But these things are not important.

He himself did not shoot these things in order to spread negative energy.

Talking to the camera and watching the growing ratings on Earth tens of millions of kilometers away has become part of his daily decompression approach. If it doesn't have enough content, the clip will take time, and he even wants to relax at a frequency of one day.

After watching the friends who were playing vr electric, and Jones, who was sitting next to the coffee machine, Johnson went to the garage of the rover and stood beside his "car."

"The time of joy is always short-lived, and it is time to say goodbye. I look forward to seeing you again, and I hope that you will look forward to the next meeting, worship-"

Johnson put a cool pose on the camera and ended today's shooting.

At this time, footsteps came from the door of the garage, and Taiwei, who had finished the game time, came over.

Looking at Johnson standing next to the rover, he raised his arms and said in a complaint.

"This **** show doesn't make me feel good at all."

Johnson smiled and stuffed the camera into his pocket, and walked over to the door and patted Tavi’s shoulder.

"Let's relax, let's wait a while for the dust storm to stop. I can drive you out for a ride."

Taiwei complained: "I don't want to take a ride. Go to yourself. There is nothing but sand! Damn, why am I here?"

Mars can have no such thing as a highway. It is a little better in the desert. The last time I went to the rock area to sample the holes, the bumps along the way almost didn't give up the lunch in his stomach.

After the fresh period of Mars, he was quite resistant to attendance and asked to adjust his position to the colony.

Although very helpless, Johnson still satisfied his request.

Instead, Jones was transferred to the attendance post.

Fortunately, these tasks alone do not require a lot of people, most of the equipment has been highly automated, and sometimes even do not need them to get off the car.

Before leaving for the life support unit, Nasa itself had considered that three colonists could not leave the cabin.

To put it bluntly, their main task is to test this life-sustaining unit. Other scientific research activities are mostly incidental.

"Well, buddy, everything will be fine. Two months of flight have come over, and our good days have just begun."

In the face of teammates' complaints, Johnson did not know how to do it. He could only try to comfort him.

Regardless of whether his teammates buy it, this is the only thing he can do.

What he didn't know, however, was that when he comforted Taiwei, the Nasa Ground Command Center, which is tens of millions of kilometers away, has become a mess.

Yes.

The sandstorm on Mars is really nothing terrible.

However, if this global dust storm lasts for more than half a year, even if a methane generator can be used as a backup power source, the situation will become less optimistic...
