I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 488 The Life of Martian Miners

Inside the Mars 'Yuanwang' Mars base.

Peng Xufei was awakened by the alarm clock. Looking at the dim bedroom, Peng Xufei couldn't help rubbing his head.

With a thought, the virtual machine is connected, and the virtual machine controls the intelligent system, and the curtains slowly open.

The 'Yuanwang' Mars base city is built inside a mountain named Yuanwang Mountain on the southern hemisphere plateau of Mars.

The purpose of building in this way is naturally to make it as safe as possible. The hurricanes on Mars are too large and too frequent. It is very unsafe to build it outside. It can only be built in the mountains, or in small basins or canyons.

This is the case with the Yuanwang Mars Base City. Most of it was built by hollowing out a mountain, and a small part was built in small basins between several peaks. However, the front was also covered with tempered glass to prevent hurricanes and sand storms on Mars.

I went to the window and looked towards the west. A strange blue sun was slowly rising.

On Earth, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, while on Mars it is just the opposite, rising in the west and setting in the east.

So anything can happen here on Mars because the sun rises in the west.

At the same time, there are too many suspended particles and dust in the Martian atmosphere, and there is too little water on Mars to form rainfall to bring the dust in the air back to the ground.

Therefore, due to the scattering and refraction of light, the sun appears a strange blue color.

Peng Xufei was not used to the blue sun at first, and even felt a little scared, but after staying on Mars for a few months, he got used to it.

It's just like that, nothing special.

Look at the time again. It is now 10 o'clock in the morning on Earth, Shenzhou time, and 7:10 in the morning on Mars standard time.

Mars Standard Time is based on the time of the Mars Prime Meridian, and the Yuanwang Base is near the Mars Prime Meridian, so there is no time difference.

Secondly, the rotation of Mars is similar to that of the Earth. One rotation takes about 40 minutes longer than one rotation of the Earth, so a day on Mars is 40 minutes longer than a day on Earth.

As a Martian miner, he is also a miner affiliated to Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group.

Peng Xufei is quite satisfied with every aspect of Mars.

First of all, the daily working hours are very short. In the morning, it is from 9:11 to 2:5, a two-hour working time. In the afternoon, it is from 5 o'clock to o'clock, a three-hour working time. The total working time per day is hours.

Secondly, after working on Mars for half a year, he can return to Earth to rest for half a year. Mars also follows the system of working for half a month and resting for half a month on the Moon.

Because the gravity of Mars is only 0.38 times that of the Earth, it is also a light-gravity planet.

In a light gravity environment, the loss of calcium in the human body's bones will be more serious, so it is necessary to return to Earth regularly for a certain period of time to restore the calcium in the bones in order to ensure good health.

In addition to bone calcium, the body's endocrine system and other systems will also undergo many changes in a low-gravity environment, all of which need to be slowly adjusted after returning to Earth.

On the moon, you work half a month and rest half a month, while on Mars, you work half a year and rest half a year.

Because Mars is so far away from the Earth, it takes a relatively long time to travel there and back, so we can only plan for half a year at a time. There is no way to work for half a month and rest for half a month.

Peng Xufei thought about it and adjusted his working time in the virtual world. He silently calculated that it would take half a month before he could return to Earth.

However, the distance between Mars and Earth is now more than 1 million kilometers, and it will take more than a month to return to Earth.

For Peng Xufei, who has been working on Mars for nearly half a year, he is eager to return home at this moment. He wishes he could take a plane at the speed of light and return to Earth immediately.

Calculate the time it will take for me to return to Earth.

Peng Xufei came to the gym as usual.

At this moment, the entire gym is very lively and crowded with people. Everyone is working out and sweating.

There is no way around it. This is a mandatory rule of the company. I must exercise for a full hour every day, half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening.

If you are in the air, you should exercise for at least 2 hours a day.

Behind every outrageous regulation there must be a lesson full of blood and tears.

The mandatory requirement of exercising for a full hour every day is naturally for the sake of everyone's health.

Proper daily exercise can effectively reduce the loss of calcium, enhance one's physical fitness, and promote the normal functioning of the body's various endocrine systems, allowing people working on Mars to have a healthier body.

Peng Xufei pedaled the endurance bike with great effort. This specially designed bike was very strenuous to pedal, but the effect of the exercise was very obvious and soon Peng Xufei was sweating profusely.

After half an hour of exercise, it was already 7:40 Mars time. I returned to my bedroom, took a comfortable shower, and tidied myself up comfortably.

At 8 o'clock we arrived at the restaurant at the base.

Although it is far away from the Earth, the food on Mars is no worse than that on Earth.

There are all kinds of meat, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits grown on Mars at the Mars Yuanwang Base. The food there is no worse than on Earth. There are even special nutritionists who have developed special recipes for everyone to ensure and supplement everyone's nutritional needs.

After a delicious breakfast, it was already half past eight, and there was still an hour before work.

Peng Xufei habitually came to the rest area of ​​the base, found a place to lie down comfortably, and then prepared to have a good chat with his girlfriend to relieve his homesickness.

In the past, Mars was too far away from the Earth and communication was inconvenient, so we could only play stand-alone games. But since the successful research of quantum communication technology.

Feiyun Technology quickly built a quantum communication center on Mars, which can then contact Earth in real time, and various games in the virtual world can also connect to Earth's network.

"Meow~meow~"

In the virtual world, Peng Xufei started chatting with his girlfriend Julia.

That’s right, Peng Xufei’s girlfriend is a foreign girl, a European, blonde, blue-eyed Spanish girl.

"Honey, when will you come back? I miss you so much."

"It will take me about half a month to return to Earth, but the distance between Earth and Mars is too far now, so it will take more than a month to return from Mars."

"Oh God, that was so long, I missed you so much, I really did."

"I miss you too. I miss you everywhere."

"Me too!"

"My dear, when I come back, I will have a half-year vacation, and I will be with you every day."

"Well, I'm really upset lately. Our company's performance is getting worse and worse, the boss is always angry, and the company is constantly laying off employees. I might be unemployed soon."

"It's okay. If you lose your job, I'll support you."

"But I want to have my own business. I don't want to be a housewife. But the economic situation here is getting worse and worse. More and more people are unemployed and prices are soaring. You don't know that the electricity price has risen to 1.5 euros. Everyone's life is getting more and more difficult."

Julia kept complaining to Peng Xufei about the dire economic situation in her country.

Life in the once developed regions is really getting harder and harder.

Happy times are always short, and half an hour of chatting only made Peng Xufei miss his girlfriend more. He wished he could fly back to Earth right now.

At 9:, Peng Xufei finished chatting with his girlfriend and began to prepare for work.

First come to the preparation area and put on the special Martian spacesuit.

The Martian space suit developed by Feiyun Technology is different from ordinary space suits. It is developed based on the environment on Mars.

There is a built-in air circulation system inside, which can ensure the freshness of the air to the greatest extent. At the same time, each space suit has an independent communication system, which can not only communicate, but also connect to the Internet and have positioning functions.

Wearing space suits, Peng Xufei and his fellow workers flew towards the Mars No. 1 Gold Mine in an anti-gravity aircraft.

The Mars Yuanwang Base is thousands of kilometers away from the Mars No. 1 Gold Mine, but in front of the anti-gravity aircraft, a distance of thousands of kilometers is nothing and can be reached quickly.

There is actually a huge base and smelting plant at the Mars No. 1 Gold Mine, and there are usually a small number of people stationed here.

As the working hours arrived, the entire Mars No. 1 gold mine and the huge smelting plant began to start up.

All of a sudden, large-scale Martian engineering machinery began to operate.

Peng Xufei's job is to drive an extra-large engineering vehicle to dig out soil and rocks containing gold.

This type of extra-large engineering vehicle requires special training and is also a specially customized product.

It was customized by Feiyun Mining Group for several major heavy industry groups, and can realize virtual machine driving and control.

The huge mechanical engineering vehicle has a huge bucket, and one bucket is enough to fill up a large transport truck, which is very efficient.

"Peng Xufei, you only have half a month to return to Earth, how cool!"

"I'm miserable. I just got here and I still have to work for half a year."

"I still have two months."

“I still have more than a month.”

Everyone started chatting in the virtual world while working.

"I'm telling you, after you return to Earth, don't waste your money on going to places like Southeast Asia and Japan. There's no point in that."

"Now you have to drive an anti-gravity aircraft and go out to the bars outside. Naturally, people will come and play with you however they want."

"And now you can pick up girls in the virtual world. Girls overseas are easy to approach. The key is that they don't have many requirements. If you give them a small gift on Valentine's Day, they will be very moved."

"Don't look for someone from China. They have high demands, are princess-like, act like a bitch, always try to control you, and you don't have any freedom at all."

"I support this. Don't look for domestic ones. In the past, there was no choice and it was difficult to find foreign ones. Now there is a choice and it is easy to find foreign ones."

"I regret it now. I got married too early and had a child. Otherwise, I would definitely look for someone from abroad."

"Brother Wang, you are full of blood and tears."

"That's right. You know, every time my brothers asked me to go out and play, I didn't dare to go out. Why? I didn't have any money in my pocket. My wife took my salary and controlled it tightly. My pocket was empty. Every time I asked my brothers to pay, I felt embarrassed."

"Also, my wife gave birth to a daughter and she doesn't want to have any more children. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she won't have any more children. It's so frustrating."

"Before, we didn't have the conditions and we were under a lot of pressure, so it was understandable that we didn't have many children. Now that we have the conditions and we don't have any burden, why don't we have more children?"

"To be honest, the women in our country are too princess-like. They don't have the fate of a princess but have the disease of a princess. It's better to find a foreigner. Look at Brother Li, he has already given birth to four children. Foreign girls are not that squeamish."

"Well, from my personal experience, it is better to find a foreign girl than a domestic one. You also know that I'm divorced. I was too pretentious in the early stage. I couldn't stand it, so I got divorced."

"I'm now looking for an American who is not spoiled at all. She handles everything at home very well for me. I never have to worry about my four children. She can take care of them all by herself without my parents' help." "She also said that she would have another child after I go back. She likes children very much and thinks that our education in China is better than that in foreign countries. She said that the current environment in China is similar to that in the United States decades ago. Men work outside and women take care of the children at home. They own beautiful houses and live in good communities, etc."

"Brother Li, you are awesome. How long do you plan to keep giving birth?"

"I don't care. It depends on my wife. If she wants to have children, she can continue to have them. If she doesn't want to, forget it. Anyway, there is no great pressure now. Life is pretty good. It would be nice to have more children."

"Foreign girls are generally more willing to have children, whether they are from Europe, America or other places, but the fairies in our country are unwilling to have children."

"So now it's becoming more and more popular to look for foreign girls. As for the fairies, they can mess with whoever they want."

"Don't mention them. They get angry if you mention them. Last time I went back for a blind date, she kept saying things like I have to hand over all my salary, not do housework, not live with my in-laws, and only have one child."

"I got so angry when I heard that, I went straight to find a European girl with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. But she didn't even look at her appearance and just kept talking."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone was chatting together, and the topic between men always revolved around women, especially on Mars. Many people have been holding it in for half a year and can't wait to return to Earth, so this topic is becoming more and more hot.

Peng Xufei would interject from time to time. The more they talked, the more he wanted to go back to Earth and the more he missed his girlfriend Julia.

Soon, the 2-hour working time was up.

Peng Xufei drove the engineering vehicle back into the hangar and then came to the smelting plant.

Every time after work, everyone likes to come to the smelting factory to see the freshly smelted gold.

The gold content of the Mars No. 1 gold mine is very high, even beyond imagination, so the amount of gold produced is very large.

I saw the rolling golden water flowing through the channel into each mold.

After the molds are filled, they are cooled with water. Soon, huge gold blocks weighing standard 100 kilograms each are skillfully stacked up by the robotic arms.

At the same time, robots also mark the gold bars with numbers and QR codes.

In just one morning of mining, the Mars No. 1 Gold Mine produced 12 tons of gold, including 100 blocks of 120 kilograms each.

Such a horrific output is simply unimaginable on Earth.

12 tons of gold were mined in just one morning. The working hours in the afternoon were longer, and 18 tons of gold were mined. In total, 30 tons of gold were mined in a day.

This one day's output is greater than the annual output of many gold mines on Earth.

All the smelted gold is 999 pure gold. There are special machines to transport the gold, and then they are transported away by special anti-gravity aircraft. After it is concentrated to a certain level, it will be transported back to Earth.

The company is not worried about people stealing gold because when you return to Earth from Mars, basically you cannot take anything with you except your clothes.

But the necessary rules and regulations are still necessary to prevent people from stealing the gold.

The reason why the gold ore is poured into 100-kilogram pieces is to prevent someone from stealing the gold.

We rest at the gold mine during the lunch break and also have lunch here.

In fact, there is no difference between here and the Yuanwang Mars Base, and both have complete living facilities.

Have a delicious lunch, then rest for half an hour and take a one-hour nap.

I continued working in the afternoon.
Soon the working day was over.

As usual, after driving the engineering vehicle back to the hangar, Peng Xufei also had to conduct a detailed inspection of the machine to ensure that it could work normally tomorrow. If there were any problems, he would need to communicate with the mechanic in time for repairs.

After the inspection, the construction vehicle must be cleaned. Only after the sand and dust are cleaned away can the day's work be considered completed.

We had dinner back in Yuanwang Base City.

After dinner, Peng Xufei and several colleagues went for a stroll in the fruit and vegetable garden at the base as usual.

These fruit and vegetable gardens are not only used to replenish fresh fruits and vegetables, but also facilitate scientists' research.

To this end, scientists even transported a lot of high-quality fertile soil from Earth.

There are a lot of people in the fruit and vegetable garden. When everyone sees the green plants, their mood becomes better and their irritability disappears a lot.

Scientists still don't understand why this happens.

After spending half an hour in the vegetable and fruit area, Peng Xufei went to the gym and started punching in for half an hour of fitness.

After you finish exercising, the remaining time is all yours.

Like most young people, Peng Xufei is also a fan of virtual games.

So at night, Peng Xufei would play virtual games with his girlfriend Julia.

He and Julia also met in the virtual game, and then gradually developed into lovers.

Time just passed by day by day.

Half a month passed quickly, and finally the day came for Peng Xufei to return to Earth.

"Ha ha!"

"Let's go back to Earth!"

Peng Xufei packed his things early in the morning, dragged his suitcase, and boarded the spacecraft back to Earth amid everyone's envious eyes.

For people who work on Mars, it really feels like being in prison.

Whether it is the workplace or the Yuanwang Base where we live, it is actually very small. It is quite dangerous outside this place. Moreover, Mars is similar everywhere and there is no oxygen. Even if you are allowed to walk around, people will not walk around.

There is not much difference between being here and being in prison. Perhaps the only difference is that the food here is better, the living conditions are better, and secondly, you can access the Internet freely.

Before quantum communication, life was even more difficult.

There is no way to contact relatives on Earth in a timely manner, and there is no way to play virtual online games. It is no exaggeration to say that the days are like years.

Now we have quantum communication technology, which is relatively much better.

In the void, a large anti-gravity spaceship is flying towards the earth rapidly.

Its speed exceeds 200 kilometers per second, which would be very scary if it were on Earth.

However, in the vast void of the universe, it seems to be motionless, floating quietly in the void of the universe.

The surrounding environment is always the same and there is no change no matter which direction you look from.

It was not until more than a month later that a blue planet began to appear in everyone's sight in the void, and immediately everyone on the spacecraft couldn't help but shout excitedly.

After more than half a year, they are finally returning to Earth.

The same was true for Peng Xufei. He looked excitedly at the blue planet in the void in front of him. It was so beautiful and so moving.

However, at this moment, the spacecraft is still a certain distance away from the earth.

A few days later, the spacecraft slowly landed at the airport where the Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group's headquarters was located.

The huge cabin door slowly opened. Peng Xufei and others could not leave directly. They needed to go into the disinfection room for disinfection first, and then enter the observation room for observation for a few days.

These few days seemed extremely long to Peng Xufei, as if several years had passed.

When he was released, Peng Xufei suddenly felt like a free bird. He immediately drove his anti-gravity aircraft into the sky and flew directly to Europe.

Here in Julia's apartment, after more than half a year, the two finally met again.

There is no need for extra words, a hearty and fierce battle can best express the love between each other.

After tossing and turning for several hours, the two finally hugged each other contentedly and told each other how much they missed each other.

"Ding!"

Just as Peng Xufei and Julia were expressing their longing for each other, the virtual machine reminded that Peng Xufei's salary had arrived.

The basic salary for the latest month is 3, the subsidy for working on Mars for half a year is 1, the half-year bonus is 9, and there is a nutrition subsidy of 15. The total is more than 3, and after tax deduction, the amount received is more than 30.

Looking at this number, Peng Xufei was quite satisfied.

My job is pretty good. It pays well, the work is easy, and I have half a year of rest. The only bad thing is that I have to spend half a year on Mars every year.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Julia looked at Peng Xufei, and seeing that he was a little dazed, she quickly asked with concern.

"Uh, it's nothing."

"My salary just arrived, and I'm doing the math."

Peng Xufei said with a smile.

"How far is it, dear?"

When Julia heard this, she immediately asked.

"About 20."

Peng Xufei smiled and said, "It's enough for us to travel around and taste delicious food."

"Wow~"

When Julia heard this, she couldn't help but scream out.

Although I already knew that Feiyun Technology employees had high incomes and that my boyfriend had a good income, I didn’t expect it to be so high.

You have to know that in Europe, the average salary of a person is only two to three thousand euros, and her own salary is only 2200 euros, but now 1 Rabbit Coin is almost equal to 1 euro.

Peng Xufei received more than 20 yuan this time, which was almost equivalent to her income for ten years. This was why she was shocked.

The salaries of Feiyun Technology's employees are among the highest in the world. Even though Peng Xufei is just an interstellar miner, he still earns hundreds of thousands a year.

Immediately, she hugged Peng Xufei tightly, as if she was afraid that he would leave.
