Origin of Mars

Chapter 57 The Storm (6000 words)
"Old Ha, you can really open champagne now."

Yu Han lay on the chair and said with emotion, behind him was a crowd of cheering researchers.

"Yeah, it's unbelievable, I thought"

Harlem also smiled and shook his head, hesitant to say: "Forget it, it's nothing, this is already the most perfect situation, this civilization is so friendly, it may be another situation, that is, they don't like it at all. us"

Yu Han was silent and didn't respond to Harlem, but just stared at the screen without saying a word.

At this time, the two astronauts have already taken steps carefully, walking among these industrial robots.

Lin Changsu gently approached an industrial robot. The distance between the two was only about one meter or even closer. He observed every detail of it with shortness of breath, as if looking at a unique and rare treasure.

He is like an ignorant person who has come to a new world and is gradually exploring this dreamy area.

In such a close contact, the camera on the protective clothing also recorded many details on the industrial robot.

These high-definition pictures are displayed on the screen from the first perspective.

Looking at these pictures, Lin Lu's face was almost stuck on the screen.

Although the previous lander would also transmit back some pictures about the appearance of the industrial robot, but it was just a sneak shot secretly, or a momentary passing.

Such a clear perspective at such a close distance is even enough for Lin Lu to observe the tiny position of the mechanical arm bearing!

Lin Changsu was clearly aware of his mission, and kept his feet moving slowly. As long as he raised his hand lightly, he seemed to be able to touch the smooth silver-white armor of the industrial robot in front of him.

But he knew very well that he definitely couldn't make such a cross-border move.

It's not proper to use hands and feet.

"How about it?"

Yu Han asked Lin Lu nervously.

He knew that his student was a genius in the field of mechanical braking.

If we can observe some details from these ultra-future technology robots, it will be a huge contribution to Huaguo and even the whole world.

But Yu Han is very clear that it is really too difficult to realize this unrealistic idea.

"Teacher, this is much clearer than the images transmitted by the lander. I can even see the extremely slender copper pillars between the gaps in their armor! These hard and straight copper pillars are like their tendons! That's why they can make such Silky and powerful moves!"

Sensing Lin Lu's excitement, Yu Han couldn't help but nodded.

Yes, their purpose has been achieved.

The main purpose of sending two astronauts to Mars is to observe this civilization from a closer perspective.

Even observing a basic robot is a leap forward for Blue Star.

The plan is based on the fact that this alien civilization has an obvious friendly tendency, but now it seems that these industrial robots are still scanning the Shihuo spacecraft, and have not reacted excessively to the actions of Chen Zelin and Changsu.

The industrial robot responsible for guiding them did not engage in scanning work, but stood quietly aside, watching the two of them.

This is Fang Liang's vision.

He watched with great interest the astronaut who took every step carefully. This picture was somehow very funny, like a baby who was just learning to walk, trying to touch the world.

In fact, Fang Liang didn't have any superfluous thoughts in his mind.

He has been on this uninhabited Mars for three full months, and this time is still increasing.

One thing that is certain is that Fang Liang will probably spend most of the time in the future in this mechanical base built by himself.

He can't go back to Blue Star, that blue planet.

But for these two outstanding humans who just arrived on Mars, Fang Liang, as their kind, inevitably felt a little excitement in his heart.

They represent the country of Hua, and can also be said to be the human civilization on Blue Star.

Fang Liang wondered if their joining would bring something different to the origin base.

This kind of thinking is not dangerous, Fang Liang's thinking is very clear.

If these two astronauts have the slightest tendency to want to destroy the origin base.

Then I'm sorry, Fang Liang is not a bad person, and he won't show mercy because of some fetters he once had.

Therefore, monitoring for them should be the first priority.

"zero?"

Fang Liang initiated a communication with Zero in the mask.

"I'm here, sir. This spaceship from Blue Star has been scanned. It doesn't carry any weapons. It's just some functional equipment and a lot of dehydrated food."

"I need a set of solutions for these two humans, what do you think?"

Fang Liang asked.

"Do you want to bring them back to the origin base?"

Zero rhetorical questions.

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking now."

When talking with Zero, Fang Liang doesn't need to hide his inner thoughts at all. For difficult problems, he can just say what he has, and Zero will always give the most perfect answer.

"I think it's feasible. In their understanding of the fire picking plan, they didn't think about any attack measures against the base. On the contrary, most of the regulations in the picking fire plan are aimed at contact and communication with alien civilizations. They I can deeply understand the technological gap between the Blue Star civilization and the origin base."

After thinking for a few seconds, Zero replied slowly.

"It sounds like you think highly of them?"

Fang Liang suddenly smiled.

"No, it's just that for this fire-picking plan, another part of the members of the Blue Star civilization have different ideas."

"What do you mean?"

As soon as Fang Liang said the words, he already guessed what Zero meant.

With the help of the upgraded network, the current zero is like an eye to see into the blue star, and its core chip is enough to process and calculate the vast data flow on the blue star.

"In the east of country M, there is a base called District [-]. It includes a number of aviation research centers, and has the most advanced scientific research team and security facilities in country M."

"It's as I said just now. They just killed a deformed body. Sir, this deformed body first killed five researchers, and was then shot dead by a security team."

"what?!"

"Sorry sir, this is the data I just got. I didn't calculate that in that wooden box, the spiny balls that have lost all their moisture are still alive."

Fang Liang's heart trembled, and his emotions suddenly lost control at this moment.

Have there been deformities in Blue Star? ?

Doesn't that mean that the blue star also has those embryonic bodies, or those black parasites similar to worms, which have already appeared on that blue planet.

Even though Fang Liang guessed that this situation would happen at some point in the future.

But he didn't expect to come so soon.

"What are they going to do with this dead monstrosity?"

Fang Liang asked hastily, "I mean, is it really dead?"

"Yes, they decomposed it. Once the deformed body dies, the countless similar black cell bodies on its body will lose their activity, and the structure will collapse and decompose, turning into a colorless and invisible liquid."

Zero read the data network of the Yale Del Research Base and successfully obtained the specific content of this report.

"."

Fang Liang remained silent because he didn't know what to say.

There are hundreds of thousands of spiny spheres in the wooden box, and they still have the ability to mutate metal into monsters.

This is incredible.

Even the craziest viruses do not have this terrifying ability, because they cannot survive in the outside world for a long time, and must find a host as soon as possible to make their own existence meaningful.

"What else did they conclude?"

"It's similar to our research results, but there are a lot of things missing. Take this thorny sphere broken into powder as an example. Their researchers found these black powders in the basement, evaluated and analyzed them, and obtained information about them. its conclusion."

"Then how did this monster come about? Are these powders attached to certain metals?"

Fang Liang asked with a serious face.

"They placed the black powder in the sample storage room at this time and that period of video footage, and I intercepted the relevant part."

Zero was silent for a few seconds, and then sent the surveillance video to Fang Liang's mask.

The huge iron frame was placed in an orderly manner, and it was filled with round experimental dishes of different specifications, each of which contained a sample.

Zero specially marked the positions of several experimental dishes on this screen.

That is several black substances stored separately, they are located in the middle of the iron frame, sleeping quietly.

"This was two days before the accident."

Zero's voice suddenly reminded me.

Suddenly, the fire door was opened by a man.

He was wearing a white research uniform, and he looked a little flustered, looking back and forth on each iron frame.

Finally, he stopped in front of the container storing the black substance, took out a small test tube, and poured the black substance in a container into it.

Then suddenly, he looked at the half-open door, smiled, as if he was talking to someone, and at the same time quietly hid the test tube in the inner pocket of his coat, and then walked out of the storage room.

At this moment, the man's actions were obviously trying to cover up. He turned around, but just happened to knock over a container near the edge of the iron frame.

The container fell silently on the soft rubber floor, turned upside down, and the black substance inside also flipped out and spilled on the ground.

The man didn't notice this scene, he walked out the door and closed the door naturally, and the whole storage room fell into darkness again.

"Can you give me information about this man?"

Fang Liang moved the screen back to the first half, stared closely at the man's side face, and asked in a deep voice.

"Clay Yuri, the general director of the DCC Institute of Advanced Biology in the country of M, has cooperated with the tenth district several times, including providing some professional equipment and materials, and is also a member of AORC. The status in the organization is not low."

In less than a minute, Zero pulled out all the information on this man. If Fang Liang still wanted to know, he could even find out his birth certificate in a certain hospital.

"He took these black substances. What the hell is he trying to do?"

Fang Liang thought in his heart, and Zero directly increased the speed of the screen playback to dozens of times.

What happened next was the big-headed monster that broke through the door. The strange scythe tore through the thick door, and Fang Liang's heart trembled unconsciously with his crazy posture.

"Can you locate this guy?"

"He seems to have discarded all his communication equipment and was unable to find out his location. The last information he got was that this man named Clay Yuri was on a flight to North M Continent."

"it is good"

Fang Liang nodded slightly, and already had a rough answer in his heart.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Why did this man take these black substances? Does he understand what they are?
Where did he go?What is the existence of this organization called AORCD?

Doubts and doubts flashed through Fang Liang's mind suddenly, making him wake up instantly.

Forget it, think about these issues when you return to the origin base.

Now, let's deal with the matter at hand first.

While Fang Liang was talking to Zero, the industrial robot had already completed the scan and analysis of the Pickup Fire spacecraft.

The light blue pupils met Chen Ze's slightly nervous and excited eyes, without any fluctuation.

Afterwards, industrial robots suddenly moved their casters, lifted the siege of the Pickup Fire spacecraft, and returned along the path they came from.
Fang Liang also removed the viewing angle control of this industrial robot, and just gave them a simple return command.

He would like to see what measures the two astronauts will take to deal with it.

And the sudden actions of these industrial robots startled the two of them, thinking they were going to do something to themselves.

They stopped in an instant, and stood nervously in place, until industrial robots gracefully bypassed them, and set foot on the way back along the valley where they came.

Lin Changsu also breathed a sigh of relief, and exchanged a glance with Chen Ze, both of them could see the frantic excitement in each other's eyes.

They were not only the first group of astronauts to land on Mars, but also the first group of humans to have real contact with alien civilizations.

It is true that there is no one before and no one after.

But as a price, the two of them may stay on this planet for the rest of their lives.

This is a very brutal fact, although no one said it, but the two astronauts knew it well.

"What now? Keep up with them?"

Chen Ze's tone was a little trembling, and he quickly asked Lin Changsu through the headset.

"if not?!"

Lin Changsu suddenly turned around and returned to the Shihuo spaceship, fiddled with the equipment, turned off all the equipment, and at the same time took out a portable sealed bag, filled the bag with food and drinking water, and threw it to Chen Ze under the spaceship .

"Take it!"

After that, he took out another bag, filled some food and water, and carried it on his back.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a few tubes of pitch-black tubes as thick as a forearm from a storage box, tore off a layer of film covering them, checked them, and then put them in bags.

This is a specially developed concentrated oxygen supply agent, which can continuously supply oxygen to the inside of the protective suit by inserting it into the groove on the back of the protective suit.

Each tube of oxygen supply can probably last for nearly a day.

This oxygen supply is enough for them to last for several days.

"Are these oxygen supplies really enough?"

Chen Ze took the clarinet from Lin Changsu and inserted it into the gap of the sealed bag like him.

"You can only bring so much. You can't take the whole storage box with you."

After preparing everything, Lin Changsu jumped off the spaceship and said helplessly.

"."

Chen Ze looked up at this unique and special sky with complicated eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Don't worry, they shouldn't let us die so easily."

Lin Changsu guessed what Chen Ze was thinking, smiled helplessly, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Then don't say it so bluntly."

Chen Ze sighed, tightened the restraint belt of the sealed bag, and straddled his shoulders.

"I just thought about it, it's nothing, when I entered that spaceship, everything was already clear."

"You are a hero who was ordered in danger."

Lin Changsu shook his head suddenly.

"Neither are you."

Chen Ze laughed out loud.

"You have given up far more things than me, Chen Ze."

Lin Changsu looked at a stretch of mountains in the distance, and the strong wind was moving the dust, covering the sky.

"People always have to give up something, don't they, let alone us."

Chen Ze lowered his head, Lin Changsu could hear the heavy breathing in the headset, and closed his mouth wisely.

"I can't see them anymore."

Afterwards, Chen Ze looked towards the valley in the distance, and the group of industrial robots had completely disappeared into the dust.

"You can follow their traces. If the landing location is correct, we should be in the southeast direction of that alien base."

Lin Changsu pointed to the traces of different shades on the ground, "These are natural signposts. The alien base should be huge and easy to find."

"I hope so."

Chen Ze exhaled, and finally took a step forward.

If the field of vision is infinitely enlarged until it touches the entire sky and reaches the universe, even this light red planet is as insignificant as the two small white dots, like gravel.

But these two small white dots carry the belief of billions of people. If it has weight, what a magnificent picture it will be.

Fang Liang was still on the top of the mountain, a new sandstorm was brewing, and invisible stones were hitting his armor, but they couldn't make any traces.

He watched the two white figures slowly move away from the spaceship, becoming two solitary boats on the dark red ocean.

Fang Liang stared at them seriously, suddenly something different appeared in his eyes.

The courage in their hearts can actually support them to come to this barren and unknown planet, take firm steps, and walk forward.

What's more, a powerful civilization beyond common sense is being bred on this planet.

It's like two ants walking against the tide without hesitation, which makes people feel admirable.

"Zero, enter the information of these two humans into the Steel Wall and give them permission to pass."

Fang Liang ordered on the mask.

"Understood, sir, is there anything else I need to do?"

"Let the robot go to the experimental field to pick some of the best quality fruits."

Fang Liang was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said.

"Would you like to entertain them?"

Zero smiled lightly.

"You learn blue star knowledge really quickly."

"It's become part of me, sir."

"Watch them."

""

Zero took the initiative to hang up the communication for the first time, Fang Liang smiled, activated the leg thrusters, and disappeared on the mountain in the next second.

"Oops, a sandstorm seems to be coming!"

Lin Changsu felt the strong wind hitting the protective clothing, looked up at the sky, and suddenly became nervous.

The carbon dioxide-dominated atmosphere on Mars is thin and cold, and the originally bright sky turned gray in an instant.

The strong wind swept across the surface of the earth and rose to the sky. Countless dust and gravel danced wildly, covering the sky and the sun.

On Mars, the speed of the most terrifying sandstorm can reach more than 180 meters per second. Even the 12-level typhoon on Blue Star has a maximum wind speed of only one-sixth of it.

The sandstorm that Lin Changsu and Chen Ze encountered didn't seem too big, but for two weak humans, this sudden sandstorm was enough to destroy them instantly.

"What a mess! What to do! Speed ​​up?"

Chen Ze's expression also changed, he grabbed the sealed bag that was about to be blown away by the strong wind, and shouted into the headset.

They have just arrived at the valley, and there is a narrow road in front of them, with tall mountains on both sides, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The strong wind surged more and more violently in this crack, endowing each stone with a strong impact.

"Walk through it! Stay here and die!"

Feeling that the strong wind didn't seem to continue to climb upwards, Lin Changsu made a decisive decision and shouted into the headset.

He was right, there was no way they could turn back.

Behind him was a vast plain, and the Spaceship Picking Fire had turned into a small dot that could not be seen clearly.

If the sandstorm intensifies when they return to the plain, there will be no suspense for their ending, that is, they will be completely torn apart by the violent windstorm.

Rather than backing down, it's better to take a gamble!Go through the gap in front of you.

"Then rush! Go!"

With a roar, Chen Ze locked the rope buckle of the sealed bag at his waist, freed his hands, quickened his steps, and rushed towards the road in front of him.

Due to the strong wind, the two staggered and almost fell backwards several times.

Fortunately, there are many rocks half a person's height in this mountain road. The two of them walked through the strong wind with their waists bent, carrying the overwhelming sand and stones, and hid behind the rocks to breathe when they couldn't stand it. After a while, after confirming each other's situation, rush out again!
In this way, the two helped each other, and they managed to pass more than half of the distance in this strong wind.

The end of the mountain gap seemed to be a wide area. In the dusty sky, Lin Changsu seemed to see a huge, fuzzy black shadow.

It's that alien base! ?

"see it!!"

Lin Changsu roared.

"I see!!"

Chen Ze held his breath, clenched the soles of his feet on the ground, and rushed forward!
But at this moment, the wind suddenly intensified, screaming and rushing past, shattering the rocks on the edge of the cliff and tearing everything apart.

"Chen Ze!!"

Lin Changsu's pupils shrank, and he shouted heart-piercingly.

The figure in front of him couldn't resist the gust of wind, lost his balance, and flew backwards like a piece of rag!

Chen Ze felt his eyes go dark, his whole body seemed to be blown away by a punch, and he flew up uncontrollably.

In the next second, his back suddenly touched a hard, sharp-edged object.

Am I dead?

This was the only thought in Chen Ze's mind.

But then, he felt that this force was holding him tightly, rushing upwards.

Chen Ze suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender blood-red arm piercing into the rock surface, and then rushed upwards with this force, and rushed out of the tunnel in the mountain!
Even in the dark storm, this red color is still extremely bright, like a hot flame illuminating the darkness.
