Origin of Mars

Chapter 152 Ready to Launch
It seems that a huge black hole is spinning and unfolding in front of Ding Nan and others. As the indicator lights on the inner wall of the black hole are flashing brightly, the magnificent metal tunnel is opening. The tips touch, and the mechanical components couple to each other instantaneously.

Ding Nan could see that pieces of parts that originally belonged to the transport spaceship were falling off in a disappearing way, until the head of the entire spaceship was completely swallowed by this tunnel, and the surrounding scene changed suddenly, and Ding Nan felt as if he had fallen into the tunnel. In the vast abyss of the seabed, amidst the dense darkness, there is still a huge sense of invisible oppression.

"Keep calm, ladies and gentlemen, we are entering the interior of the Citadel."

It was Law Enforcement Officer No. 78 who spoke, its pupils were bright, and its deep voice somehow gave Ding Nan a great sense of security at this time.

He believed that no human being could remain calm in such an environment. The excitement was beating with the pulse, rushing through every blood vessel in Ding Nan, and even fear could not restrain them.

The darkness only lasted for a very short time, followed by lights as bright as day, and the spaceship was being driven to move towards the interior of the Citadel.

This tunnel is like an invisible blood vessel in the body of the divine castle. In the body of this giant, there are countless roads and robots. In a sense, these robots represent individual cells. Cells walk in blood vessels, hovering between these regular paths from beginning to end.

The spaceship successfully passed through the tunnel and entered the edge of the Citadel. The long-diameter Bi Dingnan suddenly appeared in front of him, and he had some hallucinations. He seemed to have returned to the ground and arrived at a certain huge apron. Equipment and robots passed in front of Ding Nan and others. Connecting the dome are dense tracks for the movement of the robotic arms, which are arranged in multiple layers. From the perspective below, it looks like a piece of metal covered with countless patterns. The board is on top.

Suddenly feeling dizzy for no reason, Ding Nan quickly looked away. At this moment, the transport rocket arrived at the docking point under the guidance of the maintenance robot. It was like a small ship docked beside this huge pier. Like a pebble.

"We are here, Professor Ding Nan, and your oxygen supply device will be arranged later."

Law enforcement officer No. 78 intimately reminded that it completely straightened its body, and the armor on the surface of its torso was as sharp as a blade. It gently placed its palm on the indicator inside the spaceship, and the four metal buckles on the outside of the spaceship immediately turned outward. Unfolding, in the green light flow like breathing, the rest cabin that was originally flat inside the spaceship is actually rising continuously, becoming an upright state.

"Understood, Mr. Lawrence."

Ding Nan quickly thanked, and walked quickly to the rest cabin which was completely perpendicular to the ground.

The originally elliptical cabin opened to the side like wings, and then cross-shaped pillars appeared, and each cross perfectly fit every member of Ding Nan's team.

According to the instructions, they all stood in front of the cross pillar and slowly moved back until after a certain distance, countless nano-molecules emerged from the pillar, enveloping Ding Nan's arm like a stream of water, and as the arm continued to move toward the torso Spread until it forms a metal layer that seals the whole body, and finally the smooth wave flow is coupled downward along Ding Nan's face, forming a helmet-like appearance.

The feeling of hypoxia disappeared in an instant, followed by clear data that continuously lit up in front of Ding Nan. They seemed to appear on Ding Nan's retina. This wonderful feeling made Ding Nan feel a little nervous for a while. Absent.

In the initial construction of the Divine Castle, Fang Liang himself did not consider adapting to the human condition, so there were no oxygen supply cleaning devices that can be seen everywhere. This system is also a big challenge for the origin base. Even Fang Liang had to turn on the oxygen supply function in the armor all the time when he came here for inspection.

After the spaceship docked, it had completely turned off all functions, and the projections in the central control room were disappearing one after another. Together with the five cross pillars that had completed their tasks, the light that originally flowed in the grid disappeared one by one, turning into stone-like Same bleak look.

At this moment, Ding Nan suddenly remembered something.

He turned his head quickly, and his team members fell into the same situation as him. The metal nano-molecules formed an exoskeleton structure like a battle armor on the body, but the movement of the limbs did not feel the slightest stagnation. Obviously They are all products based on their body information.

A small yellow dot was flashing on the left side of Ding Nan's sight. When he realized the existence of this yellow dot, it opened automatically, and the faces of the two Xiong Guo players appeared first.

They obviously also saw Ding Nan, and the three pairs of eyes looked back and forth. Ivanovic's face turned red, and he suddenly laughed uncontrollably:

"Ding! This is incredible!!"

"We are also a member of this mechanical city now!!"

As a mechanical engineer, Ivanovic felt much stronger than Ding Nan.

He felt the metal components spreading all over his body. Under the action of nano-probes connected to the spine and brain, the exoskeleton armor seemed to become a part of Ivanovic's body, and the process was painless. At most, Ivanovic only felt a tingling sensation flowing on his skin.

As long as his thoughts don't disappear, the exoskeleton armor will follow his brain to make the most sensitive movements.

Although the set of armor that Fang Liang gave these researchers was the same set that Chen Ze and Lin Changsu carried back then.

But for Ivanovic, who has just arrived, it is already an unimaginable gift.

The hatch on one side of the spaceship was slowly opening, and with the air valve popping open, amidst a rapid exhaust sound, the majestic atmosphere from inside the castle was finally fully displayed in front of Ding Nan's eyes.

Even when he actually stepped on the smooth silver ground, the unreality in his heart couldn't go away.

"Gravity index very similar to Blue Star."

Ivanovic, who is from Xiong Country, took steps carefully. As he became familiar with the armor, his walking posture changed from awkward and awkward at the beginning to a natural and smooth posture. Ivanovic was very comfortable. They quickly got used to the new pair of legs, and among the passing robots, Ding Nan's team seemed like aliens who had strayed into another world.

"Come with me, ladies and gentlemen."

The two law enforcement officers left the spaceship after them. The moment they touched the ground, law enforcement officer No. 78 had already initiated a connection application to the origin base, and the connection was formed a few tenths of a millisecond later. Fang Liang also learned of Ding Nan's team's arrival.

"Zero, they have arrived at God's Castle."

At this time, Fang Liang happened to be in the Origin Base on the ground, not in the Citadel in Mars orbit.

"The two law enforcement officers will always ensure their safety. These team members may already be the top group of wise men on Blue Star, and they will not make any dangerous moves."

As the picture on the castle appeared in the projection above, Ding Nan and his party's cautious tentative actions also made Ling couldn't help laughing.

"They don't seem used to the exoskeleton, sir."

"Of course, when I was wrapped in a strange metal structure for the first time, I felt the same as them,"

Fang Liang looked up at the projection, and suddenly showed a nostalgic smile. He saw from Ding Nan's group that he was once in a mess.

Although he has become the person in charge of the origin base until today, Fang Liang still has a fresh memory of the initial construction process of the origin base.

When completely unfamiliar things gradually take off their mysterious cloak before their eyes, the process of exploration is always beautiful, and when they can fully grasp everything, it also means that Fang Liang has lost something.

"Take your time and guide them a little bit, Zero."

Fang Liang said: "After they prepare, the construction fleet will set off immediately."

"Yes, sir."

"Come with me, Professor Ding Nan."

Law Enforcement Officer No. 78 led the way, leading Ding Nan's team through areas.

They are located on the outer edge of the Citadel, not close to the core construction area. Under the intervention of Zero's order, the two law enforcement officers also temporarily acted as bodyguards. They are responsible for helping Ding Nan and his party quickly get familiar with the outside Skeletal armor, this armor will help them a lot in the subsequent exploration of alien stars.

Although the environment of Pandora planet is similar to that of Blue Star, and the oxygen content on the surface is very rich, there are no orderly high-rise buildings there, and there are many hidden dangers that cannot be directly observed under the combined zone of plains and forests.

If you drop an unprotected human on Pandora, it won't take long for him to become a cold corpse on that planet.

In the surface data fed back by the undead army, the night of Pandora seems to carry a strange atmosphere. The specific content is that they are investigating. There are some strange things hidden in the mountains and underground of Pandora. The excavation distance of the undead It has reached about 300 meters underground, but at this distance, Fang Liang still didn't get what he wanted.

Perhaps only when the professional construction fleet arrives can Fang Liang fully grasp the deep information of Pandora.

Ding Nan's learning ability is extremely strong. Together with the rest of the team members, he has probably gotten used to the general functions of this exoskeleton armor in less than 10 minutes. It can not only give Ding Nan a certain body protection ability, In the subsequent survey work on Pandora, this almighty exoskeleton armor will undoubtedly be a huge help.

Ding Nan could already foresee the scene at that time, but he did not expect that this Martian civilization would be willing to give them such a precious thing.

Although for them, the production time of these sets of armor may not exceed a few minutes, but for this new Blue Star team, this is already the most precious treasure, and its practicality is immeasurable.

"Ding, how are you feeling?"

It was Brenda who was speaking on the channel. She was trying to run backwards and other actions. Her slender body had a sense of strength no less than that of a man.

"I feel pretty good, I didn't think I could be a superhero, it's just that the armor doesn't seem to carry weapons and equipment."

Ding Nan jokingly said, he raised his arm and looked back and forth, the flesh and blood wrapped in the hard metal, this is indeed an extremely wonderful feeling.

"Professor Ding Nan, you seem to be ready?"

In the communication channel they built, a clear voice suddenly intervened. Ding Nan subconsciously thought it was the voice of Mr. Alpha, but this voice obviously had a slightly feminine temperament, and he couldn't remember who it was in his mind for a while. .

But as the screen switched, Ling's face appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Ding Nan was startled suddenly, and finally vaguely remembered the identity of this person in front of him.

"Just call me Zero."

Zero nodded with a smile. It saw the vigilance and fear emanating from Ding Nan and others, and said in a gentle voice.

"Ms. Zero, hello."

For a while, he didn't know how to address this noble existence in front of him. Ding Nan regretted the words as soon as he said them. Fortunately, Ling didn't care about anything.
"The construction fleet is ready, if you are ready, you can notify me at any time."

"Ms. Zero, I think we should be ready."

Ivanovic said.

"Yes, we are ready, so we won't waste too much time."

Ding Nan met eyes with several team members, took a deep breath, nodded, and said to Ling.

"Okay, the two law enforcement officers will guide you to the route to land on the spacecraft. They will ensure your safety throughout the entire process. There is a full set of survival equipment on the spacecraft. It is actually a small space station, which is sufficient for your daily life. "

Zero continued to introduce: "After arriving at Pandora, this spaceship will become your construction base. Professor Ding Nan, you will gain full control over it. This is the line of sight that Mister specially ordered me to see."

"Thank you!"

Ding Nan opened his mouth slightly. He suddenly realized that the "Mr." mentioned in Zero Mouth should be the one who controlled the entire Martian civilization.

"You're welcome, I look forward to your amazing research on Pandora."

Zero smiled and nodded, and then, its picture disappeared automatically, as if it had never appeared before. "

"Please follow me, Professor Ding Nan."

Law enforcement officer No. 78 received an important order from Zero, took a step forward, and at the same time bowed his head sideways, and said to Ding Nan and others.

"Ok."

Ding Nan led the team members, followed the angle of Law Enforcement Officer No. 78, and moved towards the left. A mechanical door rotated open, and oval devices that moved rapidly back and forth came into view.

"You need to go to the launch platform at the core of the Citadel."

This elliptical device slowly stopped in front of Law Enforcement Officer No. 78. It was a full ten meters long, like a submarine, and above the distance that could not be judged, only faint green flashes could be seen. Point, and an extremely huge horizontal plane block, that is the area that Ding Nan's team needs to reach, the core launch area of ​​the Citadel.
