Chapter 387

Zhao Yanling was overjoyed: "I can hear you, I can hear you, how are you doing now?"

Alexander Road: "Don't rush to ask us, how are you doing now? Are you injured? Are you in good health?"

"I'm fine. It's great to be down-to-earth. It's a pity that you have to wait a long time before you can set foot on the ground. It's just that my legs are bent now and I can't straighten them all. I need to exercise." Zhao Yanling couldn't hide her joy. "By the way, is the satellite up?"

Kate said: "On the spaceship, I tell you to stretch your muscles and you don't listen. This is the fate of not listening to the old man's words. The satellite has been released. The bandwidth of this satellite is very powerful, but there are still dead spots. The satellite plus the detector is just The time has been doubled at one time, but the total communication time has been extended a lot. I have already reported the situation here to the command center, and they will be able to send the next step instructions soon. You work first, collect soil samples and Samples, data collection, in fact, these detectors can also do it for you. In short, try to complete as much as possible.”

The lander has oxygen, water circulation, toilets, and living materials, which can absorb solar energy to save electricity.But the vitamins and oxygen are only enough for up to four days.It's similar to a spaceship, every time you bring more things, you need to spend more fuel.

Therefore, Zhao Yanling's work is quite tense.

However, at this time, I was very excited and didn't feel tired.

Immediately changed the space suit, put on the protective clothing for easy movement, and got off the gangway.

This time, it feels very different.

He took two steps to run up and take off. The jump must be easier than that on the earth, but he got used to being in space, and subconsciously thought that he could "fly", but he almost fell down!
Shame, shame!
How could the omnipotent Zhao Ritian stumble on a small spark?
The camera equipment on the spacesuit took pictures of everything he saw.

This is different from the photos sent back to the earth by the probe. The pure high-definition video can allow humans to understand the Martian environment more intuitively.

These, Zhao Yanling wanted to copy them back and post them online.

So, he explained habitually: "The feeling of stepping on a land with only one-third of the gravity of the earth is amazing. I feel very easy to walk, even though my legs are still not straight. Come on, Let me stretch my legs and stretch my muscles."

As he spoke, he bent over and stretched his legs, exercising like the old men and women in the park.

The little pain from stretching the muscles is nothing to him, but the protective clothing is a bit tight, which is not suitable for these exercises.

He can only taste it, and it will be bad if he breaks the protective clothing.

His legs felt lighter, and he continued: "Let me give you some popular science first. The radius of Mars is 53% of that of Earth, which is much smaller than that of Earth, and its mass is 11% of that of Earth. The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is 38% of that of Earth. %, the gravity is slightly greater than one-third. The atmospheric pressure on the surface of Mars is 1% of that of the earth. Compared with the earth, there is very little gas, so it will not be a vacuum, but if you take off the protective clothing, the consequences will be very serious. Don’t blame me for not Just a reminder. Mars has a rotation period of 24.6229 hours and Earth's 23.93 hours. Yes, I'm knocking on the blackboard now. First of all, Earth's day is not a complete 24 hours, which is why there are some months and years with strange days. Mars It is very close to the earth, that is to say, when I stay on Mars, I can sleep and wake up as usual, which is similar to that of the earth. The revolution period of Mars is 687 days, while that of the earth is 365.24 days. The change of seasons here is a bit slow. Because of the difference in atmosphere, Mars The color of the atmosphere is reddish, and the sunset is bluer; while the earth's sky is bluer, and the sunset is redder, which is very different from the earth."

Zhao Yanling saw the coffin container in the distance again, and hurriedly turned the camera aside.

The atmosphere is gray, the dust that those things fly.

Zhao Yanling stretched out her hand, but couldn't sense anything.

He said: "The current temperature is about 8 degrees. Although Mars is called Mars, it is actually very cold. If you stand on the equator in summer during the day, the temperature can reach more than 30 degrees. When I arrive at night, the temperature may It will drop to minus 95 degrees, scary? Why is this? Because the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mars is as high as 0.03%. In contrast, the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the earth is only [-]%. It is said that the greenhouse effect should be higher than that of the earth Fortunately, however, the atmosphere of Mars is too thin, only one percent of that of Earth. So, I have to save the battery now, and the lander can heat me up when it gets cold at night."

As he spoke, he picked up a flaky stone from the ground and threw it far away.

The stone glides in the air for a long, long time before falling!
"The air resistance is small and the gravitational force is small. If you launch a fish-scale dart here, the power will become huge and the range will be longer. Let me tell you a secret, I brought the fish-scale dart to Mars."

As soon as the camera turned, a fish-scale dart, his standard weapon, lay quietly in the palm of his left hand.

He smiled, and threw the fish-scale dart out without too much force.

The fish-scale dart was stuck on a small hill, three points into the soil.

He ran over with a smile and pulled out the fish scale dart.

Under the dust brought out, he saw a piece of iron.

Picking it up, he said, "This is an iron-nickel meteorite. On Mars, this kind of meteorite is easy to find. Because the density of the Martian atmosphere is low, a slightly larger meteorite can fall to the surface of Mars without It burns out like on an iron ball. Then the atmosphere of Mars causes the movement of the sand dunes, and brings out these meteorites buried under the sand. If the spaceship ticket to Mars is cheap, I think it is entirely possible to come to Mars to pick up meteorites and sell them back to Earth. Can make a fortune and embark on the road to a well-off life..."

Of course he wouldn't take a meteorite back, it's not as valuable as Martian soil.

So, it was thrown away.

"Look, there's a lot of gravel and dust here. It looks like a room that hasn't been cleaned for decades, piled up in layers. I'm going to pick out different types of rocks, and there's this granite pattern on the ground. Rocks, this needs to be pried out with tools. This is very helpful for scientists to study Martian geology."

Just as he was having fun, Kate received an order over there.

"Give up Bruwenszhao, and the Mars Pioneer will return to Earth immediately!"

Kate and Alexander were dumbfounded at the time!

Giving up on Bloomington Zhao?

Let him fend for himself on Mars?
Sustaining supplies are only enough for four days, others can be saved, but oxygen cannot be saved.

Kate knew that Zhao Yanling carried pantomin on her body, and injecting this could prolong the oxygen supply time, but that would not be enough to linger for a while!
If Zhao Yanling was left on Mars, he would definitely die.

Alexander muttered, "Why, what should I do?"

Kate was furious: "Why, why did they make such a decision. I will definitely wait for Zhao to come back."

As she spoke, she angrily sent a questioning message to Earth and expressed her wishes.

The events of these 200-odd days are vivid in my mind.Getting along day and night, how can there be no feelings?

What's more, Zhao Yanling is not only easy-going, but also knows how to take care of and encourage others.It was thanks to Zhao Yanling's help that the two could persist until now.

Therefore, she would rather disobey the order, go back and be expelled, or even go to jail, she will not give up on Zhao Yanling.

If she really did that, she will blame herself for the rest of her life!

Alexander realized that he is a Russian cosmonaut, why should he listen to Yankee's rude orders?
After a long time, the order came back again.

Kate and Alexander looked cold-eyed and cold-hearted.

Why?

Because from the beginning, NASA did not install the return fuel on the lander at all.

Therefore, even if the two of them were unwilling, even if they were thinking of loyalty and friendship, even if they wanted to take Zhao Yanling back at all costs, it was impossible.

The command center told them that they could disobey the order and wait in place, but in the end, the maintenance supplies were exhausted and they died together with Zhao Yanling.

They blocked the road, and the two of them couldn't help if they wanted to.

Kate's tears flew out immediately, and the teardrops were floating in the air. Her eye circles were red, and she couldn't help but choked up.

She remembered what Zhao Yanling had said to her.

"This is a life-and-death relationship between us. If you are short of money when you go back, tell me and I will call you [-] million."

"Tell me what you want to eat, and I will take you there to eat when you return to Earth. I have a private jet, and I can travel around the world without worrying about gas money."

"Blue Star knows, right? I'll arrange it. You'll be free of food, drink, fun and accommodation, and you'll have as much fun as you want."

"Don't cry, homesick? With me here, I will ensure that you return to Earth safe and sound. I can take you back without fuel."

"Come, come, move, get busy, and you won't be thinking about it when you're busy."

"I said sister, although we are all lonely, I really can't do that with you. It's very dangerous to do that in space."

"When I get back to Earth, I'll resign immediately. I won't suffer that."

"Singing is really good, I know people in Hollywood, and I will find someone to help you make an album."

Those voices and smiles are lingering in my mind.

Originally, they had been floating in space for a long time, and their mental health was not healthy.At this time, Kate even had the idea of ​​dying with Zhao Yanling.

But looking at Alexander who was also constantly intertwined with anger and sadness on his face, Kate shook her head. She could not selfishly bury Alexander here.Alexander has a family, a child, and the family is waiting for him.And my family members are also worried about their own safety.

But does Zhao have no family?

His kids were growing, his wife was pregnant again, and he was so young!

The more you think about it, the more you collapse. Isn't NASA most concerned about the lives of astronauts?
Why is this happening?

NASA told them that there is no need to inform Zhao Yanling about this matter, just return directly.

The two were in the spaceship, immersed in grief for more than 20 minutes.

Kate gritted her teeth and said, "I've decided to tell Zhao about this and not keep him in the dark."

Alexander hesitated and said, "But if we let him know, wouldn't it be more painful? Think about the feeling of waiting to die, how will you spend these four days?"

Kate retorted: "Then if he suddenly lost contact with us, wouldn't he be afraid of suffering? It would be unfair to him if he died without knowing why. I decided to tell him about it!"
