infinite evolution pirate ship

After seeing this small flying saucer, Zhuo Ziqiang immediately gave up the idea of ​​landing on the moon. If the flying saucer finds the whereabouts of Longyun, it may cause unpredictable troubles to the human beings on earth. Of course, he does not want to see this.

Hearing that Zhuo Ziqiang canceled the plan to go to the moon, Tian Jing and the others were a little disappointed. After all, in addition to the novelty of going to the moon, vanity can also be greatly satisfied. And how many people can actually climb up there?

In this regard, Zhuo Ziqiang repeatedly assured that there are many opportunities to go to the moon, and they will definitely be able to go to the moon in person in the future and enjoy the wonderful moment of watching the earth from the moon.

Since it was inconvenient to land on the moon, Zhuo Ziqiang looked at the deep starry sky, thinking about where to go next.

"Go to Mars! See if there are any aliens!" Huang Xueyao made a suggestion

"Going to Mars is a good idea!" Zhuo Ziqiang nodded and said.

The reason why he agrees with Huang Xueyao's idea is not that he wants to go to Mars to see if there are any aliens on it. The main reason is that the environment of Mars is the closest to that of the Earth among the major planets. Maybe there used to be life on it. If so , it is very likely that there will be organic mineral deposits on it.

The dragon came out this time not for tourism, but to find energy to upgrade the dragon cloud to the next level.

Zhuo Ziqiang has already seen the upgrade conditions. To upgrade from the fifth level to the sixth level, 50 billion energy points are needed. If all these energy points are obtained from the earth, the resource consumption of the earth is too great, and it must be obtained from outside. Find a way in space.

At the beginning, Longyun judged that the organic matter on the earth could make Longyun rise to the eighth level, which is not bad.However, if it really rises to the eighth level on the earth, I am afraid that all the animals and plants on the earth, as well as underground oil and gas mines, coal mines and other energy sources will be swallowed up by the Dragon Cloud, and the earth will gradually evolve into A dry desert, moisture, air, etc. will gradually disappear, and become a second barren planet that looks like Mars.Of course, Zhuo Ziqiang would not destroy his home planet just for his own gain.

Outside the earth, it seems that only Mars in the solar system is most likely to store a large amount of underground energy, so a trip to Mars is essential.

Zhuo Ziqiang opened the database of the solar system, looked at the distance between Mars and the Earth, and found that the shortest distance between the two was 500 million kilometers, and the farthest was [-] million kilometers.

He made a rough calculation. If Longyun travels to Mars at cruising speed, it will take more than ten days at the fastest and more than 100 days at the farthest.

This is only a straight-line distance. If you want to go around the sun in the middle and reach Mars at the farthest distance, it will take even longer.

Zhuo Ziqiang looked at the real-time star map drawn by Longyun, and found that Mars is currently 6000 million kilometers away from Earth, which is neither too far nor too close, just a little more than one astronomical unit.

If the hyperspace engine is turned on now, it will only take about ten minutes to fly to Mars. He thought about it, then turned to ask Christie: "Now turn on the hyperspace engine, what will happen?"

"Except for some physical discomfort at the beginning, there shouldn't be any problems." Christie replied without thinking.

After a few days of serious study, Zhuo Ziqiang now knows that if he wants to turn on the hyperspace engine, the current speed of the spacecraft must exceed [-] kilometers per second, otherwise, the sudden acceleration will cause the Dragon Cloud to disintegrate on the spot , and these people are also destined to turn into pieces and dissipate in space.

Now that the speed of Longyun has exceeded [-] kilometers per second, there will naturally be no problem with turning on the hyperspace engine, it's just that the body feels a little uncomfortable.

The reason for the physical discomfort, besides the sudden acceleration to nearly fifty times faster than the speed of light, is another reason is the adverse effect of the space-time fluctuations produced by space jumps on the human brain.

But at present, there seems to be no good way to eliminate this discomfort. Maybe everyone's discomfort can be slightly reduced after getting used to it.Tool: advertisement, full text, more

Zhuo Ziqiang rechecked the flight status carefully, and then ordered the hyperspace engine to start.

After turning on the hyperspace engine, Zhuo Ziqiang continued to order: "Start space jump flight immediately, destination: Mars!"

Immediately, Zhuo Ziqiang felt that in front of his eyes, he fell into a state of chaos similar to that before falling into a dream, and his mind was blurred. At the same time, his body felt a sense of heavy pressure, and he felt like he wanted to vomit at any time. .

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a dozen seconds, and then slowly returned to normal.

At this time, he saw that the sun on the screen and outside the spaceship was moving rapidly, and the earth and the moon were also moving away quickly. Everything seemed dreamlike, and the novelty these scenes brought to him was overwhelming The discomfort just now was swept away, and he regained his spirits.

"Is this interstellar travel? It looks really exciting!" Zhuo Ziqiang moved his hands and feet, found that he was abnormal, and looked outside the command room again.

Tian Jing and the others also gathered around Zhuo Ziqiang excitedly, whispering and discussing while watching the beautiful scenery of the stars flowing outside.

For the few of them, if they hadn't met Zhuo Ziqiang, they might have had such a rare opportunity in several lifetimes to go into space for interstellar travel. Compared with leaving behind family and relatives, space travel seems to be more attractive to them.

"On the surface, we are traveling at a speed exceeding the speed of light, but in fact, if we really exceed the speed of light, we may have already crossed." Christie explained to Zhuo Ziqiang.

Zhuo Ziqiang already understood this. At this time, they were not traveling at a speed exceeding the speed of light, but were jumping rapidly and non-stop in short distances, jumping from one point to another. Because the jumping speed was too fast , The continuous pictures were connected to form a smooth picture like watching a movie in front of their eyes.

"The development of science and technology is really the limit. I never thought about it before!" Zhuo Ziqiang looked outside without blinking, for fear of missing a scene.

"There will be many such trips in the future, or we may have to face such scenes for many years, so you don't have to be so gaffe!" Christie said with a smile.

After thinking about it, Zhuo Ziqiang felt that what Christie said was very reasonable, the days to come will be long, and it is very likely that there will be too many such days in the future, which will make him feel boring.Thinking of this, he calmed down a lot, and slowly sat down on the chair.

In just ten minutes, Mars soon came before Zhuo Ziqiang's eyes. Seeing the dark red planet getting closer, he turned off the hyperspace engine in time, and began to approach Mars slowly.

With the encounter on the moon, Zhuo Ziqiang paid extra attention this time. He watched the exploration and scanning screen of the Dragon Cloud to see if he would encounter an alien ship again.

After approaching Mars, Zhuo Ziqiang did not order the Dragon Cloud to land on the ground immediately, but ordered the Dragon Cloud to circle the Mars twice to check for any suspicious situations on it, and then found a sunny position. He ordered the Dragon Cloud to land on the flat ground above.

Sixteen giant mechanical legs slowly protruded from the edge of the Dragon Cloud, like a spider, firmly standing on the ground of Mars.These mechanical feet have an intelligent telescopic system, no matter how uneven the ground is, they can adjust the Dragon Cloud to a horizontal state.

After the Longyun came to a complete stop, Zhuo Ziqiang looked at the Martian mountains and the surface near and far, and was amazed by the variety of nature.Since the surface of Mars is covered with silicate and hematite, it looks dark red everywhere. This exotic scene makes Zhuo Ziqiang eager to try and go out to explore. Fan.

"If you want to go out and do a walk on Mars, sign up, and I'll make arrangements for you!" Zhuo Ziqiang said to everyone.

"Me!" Tian Jing, Huang Xueyao and Liu Yaqi raised their hands almost at the same time. They didn't want to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The others, on the other hand, didn't seem to be very interested in it, and no one showed any enthusiasm.

Even so, Zhuo Ziqiang arranged for Tang Qiuhe, Zhu Xiaoqian, and Ye Chuchu to go out with Tian Jing and the others. In case of any danger, the three of them can also take care of Tian Jing and the other three.

Tian Jing and the others haven't owned protective clothing yet. Zhuo Ziqiang can only hastily choose a few more suitable ones for them, let them go back to their room to change into them, and explain the usage and precautions to them in detail.

After everything was ready, Zhuo Ziqiang let them enter the decompression chamber, then opened the door of Longyun, and let them down the escalator to the ground of Mars.

At first, Tian Jing and the others walked cautiously on the ground, but then they became more and more daring, and finally jumped on the ground non-stop.

Since Mars is only one-sixth the size and one-tenth the mass of Earth, Mars has very little gravity.They can jump very high without using too much strength. After getting used to it for a while, they can jump on the ground non-stop and never get tired of it.

Of course, Zhuo Ziqiang didn't come here to play like Tian Jing and the others. He still had important things to do.

From the screen panel, he quickly recruited four heavy-duty exploration vehicles, each weighing nearly 25 tons and [-] meters long. As soon as these heavy-duty exploration vehicles came out, he ordered these vehicles to start from the bottom of the Dragon Cloud. left in the channel, and then sailed to the ground of Mars,

After leaving the Longyun, these exploration vehicles drove rapidly in four directions simultaneously under the command of Zhuo Ziqiang, and then stopped one kilometer away from the Longyun.

In the sound of Zhuo Ziqiang's follow-up orders, the drilling devices at the rear of several exploration vehicles stood up high like launch vehicles, and began drilling work.

Under their high-speed operation, after a while, mountains of rocks and soil appeared at the rear of their cars.Zhuo Ziqiang took a look, and in just a short while, their drill bit penetrated 700 meters underground.

While drilling and testing, Zhuo Ziqiang kept receiving real-time information. Although various minerals are abundant, most of which are iron ore, there seems to be no organic mineral deposits such as coal or oil in this place.

Zhuo Ziqiang was not disappointed, nor was he in a hurry. He didn't think it would be easy to find the mineral deposits. If he could reach the oil and gas fields just by drilling down, his luck would be much better than winning the first prize in the lottery.

"1000 meters, if there is no discovery, then continue to move forward, each of them will go forward ten kilometers, and drill again!" Zhuo Ziqiang gave an order to these exploration vehicles.

Just as he was fascinated by Tian Jing and the others on the ground, Longyun Computer suddenly issued a warning: "Warning! A moderate storm is approaching, please be careful, captain!"

Zhuo Ziqiang's expression changed. He didn't know much about Mars, but he also knew that the storms on Mars were more severe.Although the air pressure on Mars is very low, there are frequent storms. He immediately notified Tian Jing and others on the ground, and quickly returned to the Dragon Cloud.

Not long after Tian Jing and the others returned to the Dragon Cloud, a gust of wind mixed with flying dust and gravel swept in.

"It's scary! This storm can definitely blow away people!" Tian Jing said with some fear.

Zhuo Ziqiang looked at the situation of the Dragon Cloud. A storm of this magnitude had no effect on its solid shell. With its huge body, even the biggest storm on Mars would hardly affect it at all.

And those exploration vehicles weighing nearly [-] tons were as stable as mountains in the storm, and they were still working non-stop.

At this time, Ye Chuchu asked Zhuo Ziqiang for instructions, "Boss, what are you going to have for your first meal on Mars?"

"Well, you can do it as you see fit, try to be as rich as possible, but I don't advocate lng spending! Although we have a lot of food, it is far away from the earth. After eating these, I don't know where to replenish them next time. So it's better to save a little," Zhuo Ziqiang ordered.

Ye Chuchu took the order to go. After a while, the meal was ready, and everyone was invited to the restaurant for dinner.

After the Dragon Cloud was upgraded, many kitchen utensils in the restaurant were upgraded to automatic or semi-automatic equipment, so Ye Chuchu not only made cooking much easier, but also saved a lot of time than before.

Eating soft bread and chewing tender shrimp meat, Zhuo Ziqiang looked at the Martian scenery outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass door in the restaurant, feeling extremely happy.

Who would have thought that they could still enjoy delicious meals on this barren Mars, which is a rare opportunity for elite astronauts.

Although the astronauts on the earth can also enjoy delicious meals in the spacecraft or the space station, they can't expect the original earth food at all. They can only eat some softened food, which is incomparable to Zhuo Ziqiang and the others.

Not long after eating, the sun fell below the mountains on Mars, and the night of Mars came.

Although a year on Mars has more than 680 days, a day on it is only a little over 24 hours, which is not too different from that on Earth.For people like Zhuo Ziqiang, such a day is still very suitable for them.

The temperature of Mars is relatively low, and the highest temperature near the hottest equator is only about 140 degrees, but the coldness at night is not unbearable for humans. The lowest temperature at the poles at night is close to minus [-] degrees, which is not suitable for human survival at all.

But in the night like the sky in all seasons.

After Zhuo Ziqiang got up and had breakfast, he went to check the traces of the four exploration vehicles.Before going to sleep, he had arranged for them to continue drilling in several directions, drilling every ten kilometers, and now he didn't know where they went.

"It ran two hundred kilometers away, and the efficiency is not bad!" Zhuo Ziqiang looked at the location of the exploration vehicle displayed on the screen, and couldn't help but praise.

These exploration vehicles are not rote when walking on the surface of Mars. When they see deep trenches and go around, they also avoid mountains that are too difficult to drive. They are highly intelligent.

Although after a night of busy work, there were no results. So far, there is not even a trace of organic mineral deposits.

But it was not without any gains. Throughout the night, several exploration vehicles discovered two iron mines, one copper mine and one aluminum mine.But Zhuo Ziqiang has no interest in this kind of mineral deposits, so he can't mine them and transport them to the earth for sale?That might not even be enough for travel expenses.

Zhuo Shengqiang thought for a while, and sent several exploration vehicles back to the Longyun, preparing to continue the exploration in another place.

Although Mars is very small, it is more than 3000 kilometers long to go around, and it would take time to drill all of them. You have to shoot a shot to change a place, and a rough drill is enough.

The exploration vehicle, which was traveling at a speed of nearly [-] kilometers per hour, returned in a short time. After all the exploration vehicles entered the Longyun, Zhuo Ziqiang ordered the Longyun to take off and head towards the equator.

After flying more than 500 kilometers, Zhuo Ziqiang found a more suitable place and ordered four exploration vehicles to dispatch again to start mining work.

This time, Zhuo Ziqiang asked several mine trucks to increase the drilling depth and drill down to [-] to see if there would be any new discoveries.Because Mars is no better than Earth, even though it has energy mineral deposits, due to its age, it is likely to gradually sink under deeper rocks during crustal movement.

The exploration vehicles kept moving towards the distance, drilling one location after another, until they disappeared.

Zhuo Ziqiang and the others had a happy life, watching the sunset and sunrise, and going out to play on the ground twice when they were interested. With the storm warning function of Longyun, they didn't have to worry about frequent Martian sandstorms.

This lasted for five or six days, and the location of the Dragon Cloud was changed five or six times. On this day, a new situation was finally discovered.

Fifty or sixty kilometers south of Longyun’s docking location (South Pole: the pole tilted towards the sun), there is a slope. Due to the small slope and the super climbing performance of the exploration vehicle, It can go down easily, so this exploration vehicle entered this valley with a depth of more than 2000 meters.

Not long after the survey vehicle entered, Zhuo Ziqiang received the terrain information from the survey vehicle.纟
