Chapter 154 Martian Calendar
When the Martian spirit Aru and his people saw the huge spherical spaceship on Hawke Island for the first time, their eyes were full of horror.

It was even more frightening than seeing the huge "Deimos" for the first time after they "resurrected"...

Facing the spaceship, they beat their chests and stomped their feet, roaring in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

This is their way of expressing adoration and awe.

According to the follow-up research on Hawke Island during this period, these life forms with the highest intelligence on Mars have already possessed primitive religious beliefs, and they have already developed the consciousness of "gods"...

For example, the tribe of Aru, they will worship the sun and Phobos.

Of course they don't know that the sun and Phobos are completely different celestial bodies, and they don't know that Deimos, which looks like an ordinary star, is actually a good sister with Phobos.

In their view, the sun is the first god, and Phobos is the second god...

They also worship imaginary creatures.

That's why they were so frightened when they saw Deimos, which is dozens of times larger than the sun.

Faith is broken.

Now they saw the super spherical spacecraft with a diameter of 30 meters, and they were greatly shocked again.

And the astronauts who came out of the spaceship also showed them the expression of that "donkey"...

As the smartest person in the tribe, Alu was the first to realize that this might be the legendary "God"!
So they faced the astronauts again, beating their chests and feet, and roaring in unison.

Martian roar creatures can make extremely loud sounds, and they can also emit ultrasonic waves, which is also the origin of their name. Although the spirits are not as good as the giant roars of their relatives, the sound of more than 20 spirits roaring together is still very terrifying. .

Even through the spacesuit, astronaut Wang Donghong and others still feel very harsh...

These guys are really stupid, they don't know that this kind of behavior is dangerous...

But imagine the reaction of the Indians when they saw the colonists of the Old World. It seems that there is no reason to say that they are stupid. The colonists still look similar to them. The astronauts in spacesuits are completely It's a different species.

Wang Donghong and other astronauts did not harm them, nor did they capture them.

Although one of their main tasks is to study the intelligent life of Mars, they are also required not to harm them as much as possible. After all, this is the first neighbor discovered by humans in the universe...

For the time being, they try to avoid close contact with the spirits as much as possible, lest bacteria or viruses cause harm to each other.

Therefore, they did not go to manage the tribe of spirits.

This "cold" behavior made the Aru tribe more convinced that they were gods.

Since then, they will come here for a "pilgrimage" every 16 days or so.

After in-depth analysis by the scientists of Hawke Island, it was found that this time was not a coincidence, but because of the simple calendar of the spirit man himself.

由于火星自转周期是24小时37分22.7秒，火卫一的公转周期是7小时39分钟，所以等于是火卫一每天会绕火星3圈还多90度左右。

Since it is not divisible, the position of Phobos in the sky is different every day when the sun rises...

And every 99 hours, Mars rotates 4 times, and Phobos orbits 90 degrees more every day, which is just enough to make up one revolution, and a total of 13 revolutions. Therefore, at sunrise on this day, the position of Phobos is the same as that of four days ago The position of Phobos is roughly the same.

According to this law, the spirit man formed his own timing rules.

They take Phobos' revolution time of 90 degrees, that is, a quarter of Phobos' revolution period of 7 hours and 39 minutes, as an hour.

So in their calendar, a day of Mars (24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.7 seconds), there are 13 "Martian hours".

And every 4 days, Phobos will reset once, and they use this cycle as a "Martian small week"...

Taking 4 "Short Worships of Mars" as one "Great Worship of Mars", it is equivalent to 1 days...

In fact, this "Mars Worship" is equivalent to the concept of "month" in the Blue Star Calendar...

It’s just that Deimos revolves too fast around Mars, and the time for a month is less than 7 hours and 39 minutes. The emergency effect is not very good, so I counted a cycle...

In addition, based on climate changes, they roughly calculated the revolution period of Mars, which is a Martian year.

The Martian year they calculated is 43 Martian weeks (16 days), which is 688 days, which is very close to the true revolution period of Mars of 687 days...

They also divide a year into four seasons. There are 11 Mars prostrations in spring, autumn and winter, but only 10 Mars prostrations in summer.

Since it is not divisible, this timing rule has a large error, and the longer the time, the greater the error.

But for the spirits from the primitive period, it is enough.

Blue Star's calendar has also been revised many times, and various leap months and leap years have been added to become more accurate, but that is all after the formation of civilization.

The discovery of the Martian calendar also gave the Blue Star people a new understanding of the intelligence of the spirits.

They seem to be a little smarter than before...

Some people also believe that the memory of the spirit people is far better than that of the blue star people, and being able to share memories is the reason why they were able to create the calendar so early.

According to the current Hawk Island research, compared with the Blue Stars, the spirits are smaller in size and weaker in strength, but they have stronger manufacturing ability and weaker imagination, but their memory ability is very special...

Many people think that the spirit's unique memory ability, especially the ability to share memories, will make him "progress by leaps and bounds" in the future technological development...

Their new bodies can directly acquire adult knowledge and skills without any education. What a terrifying ability...

Of course, this is just a conjecture, and it depends on follow-up research to see how far their memory sharing ability has reached, and whether they can really share knowledge and skills efficiently...

Now every 16 days, the Aru tribe will come to the spaceship for a pilgrimage, which is very good news.

You can get a better look at them up close...

In addition, it is also necessary to make full use of the ready-made labor force on Mars. After all, the shipping cost of traveling to Mars is still too high, and the cost of the ecosystem is also too high. Large-scale immigration is currently not possible.

If you want to quickly develop on Mars, the best way is to use these "natives" of Mars.

Since the other party regards him as a god, he might as well follow his plan and treat him as a god.

After getting approval from Blue Star Hawk Island, astronaut Ye Shou put on the latest Walker IV exoskeleton armor developed by Hawk Island. Compared with the Adventurer series mechs, it is smaller and more suitable for some special action.

At the same time, it is also a high-tech spacesuit that can provide oxygen and maintain temperature.

The current temperature of Mars is very close to that of Blue Star, so there is basically no need to worry, mainly because of the oxygen supply...

The airtight exoskeleton has been strictly sterilized, so there is no need to worry about infection.

The main purpose of Ye Shou's operation this time is to act as a god and guide the development of the Alu tribe!
The Alu tribe currently has only 19 people living in a nearby cave.

After long-term observation before, they are only equivalent to the level of early Neolithic human civilization, but their stone tools and bone tools are quite exquisite in craftsmanship, which is a little better than that of early Neolithic human civilization...

They even made primitive unicycles out of the wheels of the wheel beasts...

Although the wheels are ready-made, the body of the unicycle is made of materials such as wood and bone through grinding. This also proves that the specialized second notochord really gave them super hands-on ability.

Their spines are completely different from those of the Blue Stars. They are cross-shaped, differentiated at the neck, and separate a horizontal notochord, which directly connects to their forelimbs or hands...

Spiritual beings can use fire, sew animal skins, and weave hemp ropes as thin as silk threads, but they don't know how to plant, let alone breed. The main source of food is gathering and hunting.

Because the bodies of the spirits are relatively weak, even with primitive bows and arrows and various stone tools, their hunting ability is relatively weak. Basically, they can only bully some animals smaller than themselves, and they often need to rely on beatings.

The "wheeled donkey" that appeared before looked stupid, and the Aru tribe didn't dare to provoke them at all when they met it. On the contrary, the donkey was very arrogant. It was a herbivore, but it rushed over to bite these spirits... …

By the way, this Martian donkey seems to be the same as the Aru tribe. It regards the astronauts and spaceships as gods or something, and will come to see them every once in a while.

It is "look" in the most primitive sense, and every time you look at it, it takes an hour or two.

Unlike the fear and fear of the Aru tribe, its expression seems to be very curious...

Maybe it doesn't think it's a god at all, but a trick.

Because the visual system is very different, the Blue Stars have no idea what they look like in the eyes of Martian animals.

It is more like the overlord here than the spirit man.

It can be seen from this that the status of the spirits in the current ecological niche of Mars is quite low.

Their lives are indeed not good. The staple food is basically vegetarian, and they rarely get enough protein supplements.

According to the recommendations of the Hawk Island expert group, Ye Shou first taught them how to fish and trap.

Spirit people lack imagination, so they can do a familiar thing very well, but create a new thing. With their manual ability, fishing with nets and making traps are very easy. things.

But so far, they don't have this concept at all, and they don't use any kind of fishing net or trap at all.

On this day, Ye Shou, an astronaut wearing the fourth-generation exoskeleton of the Silver Walker, walked in front of the Aru tribe.

With a height of 2.2 meters, he looked abnormally tall in front of a 1.2-meter spirit man.

Alu and other spirits showed fear and awe in their eyes, but instead of running away, they beat their chests and feet, and roared in unison to express their admiration.

They seemed to have completely thought that the "god" in front of them might hurt them.

"Gululu." An ethereal voice sounded and said to the Aru tribe.

Hawk Island has long deciphered the language of the spirits. Although the pronunciation is very strange, because their vocabulary is very small, it is easy to simulate with a computer, and now they have an automatic translation function.

Ye Shou's original words are "follow me" in Dongguo...

After hearing the electronic sound, Alu and others became even more convinced that the astronaut Ye Shou is the real "god"...

"Gollum, Gollum!"

"Grumble!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and then the leader Alu gave an order and led the people to follow Ye Shou.

After walking for a Martian hour, they came to the shore of the sparkling deep sea.

Ye Shou, who was wearing an exoskeleton, found a large black stone, and did not speak, but only signaled with his "eyes"...

Alu and the others seemed to understand that they lifted the stone and transported it towards the spaceship...

"No! We let you use it!"

Ye Shou pretended to be 13 failures, and hurriedly called them to stop, but the language of the spirit man was too crude, and he didn't have many words, so he couldn't express his meaning well when he translated it.

He didn't know how to express the word "Meteorite"...

The previous big collision of Mars brought a lot of meteoric iron and other metals to Mars. These meteoric irons and other metals were originally the "impurities" of the space rock. During the impact, due to the large amount of water vapor absorbed Due to the heat, these metals with higher melting points are not completely melted.

Previously, Mars rovers from Hawke Island and other countries have discovered meteorites many times, and even a small amount of precious metals such as gold and platinum.

While nothing compares to the deposits of metals on Deimos on Lano, they are now directly on Mars.

Spirits can be used directly.

But until now, the spirits have not realized the value of these meteorites at all. Except for some guys who use them as decorations, others have no idea of ​​using them.

This is not surprising. It took the Blue Star humans many years to understand the superiority of metal tools, and there was an era when natural metals were used as decorations. It is not surprising at all.

With the intelligence and imagination of a spirit person, I am afraid it will take a longer time to realize it... Unless you are lucky and happen to pick up a natural metal tool in your hand, and then others start to imitate...

It took Ye Shou a lot of brainpower to finally make Alu and the others understand that he wanted them to move the black stone back to the cave.

The gravity of Mars is very small, and this piece of meteorite has a mass of about 60 kilograms.

Even a thin spirit does not have a particularly hard time moving it.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!"

Suddenly, a strange cry resounded in the air!

The spirit man was shocked instantly, and fled in all directions, looking for a hidden place to hide!

All the beasts in the surrounding kilometers were frightened, no matter if they were four-legged or three-wheeled, they all ran away in a flash!

When Ye Shou looked up, it was a giant "bird" with a wingspan of more than 20 meters!
It has a thick body and a big mouth.

It is much larger than the Fengshen pterosaur, the largest flying animal in the history of Blue Star!It's like an airplane!
Ye Shou knew that this was not a bird, but the overlord of the sky on Mars, Linlong!

From the perspective of species characteristics, it is closer to the pterosaur on the blue star!
But because the gravity of Mars is only about 37% of that of Blue Star, their flying ability is much stronger than that of large pterosaurs such as Fengshen pterosaurs!

They are the real overlords on Mars!
The low gravity of Mars gives flying creatures an unparalleled advantage!
A small animal like a spirit man, weighing only [-] to [-] kilograms, is a worthless prey in front of them!

There were 24 people in the Aru tribe before, and 3 of them were preyed on by this super flying lizard!
