Chapter 391

Zhao Yanling didn't remove the battery, the detector had a multi-tasking thermoelectric generator to charge it, he just pulled the plug out.

The notion of fulfilling his last wish was a joke.

The person in charge of the Houston command center gradually calmed down.

When he regained his sanity, he thought that he could do more than Zhao Yanling on earth.

He held a press conference and told reporters that the facts were not what Zhao Yanling said.

It's not that there is no fuel, but that the lander has malfunctioned.

The principle of the lander is an upgraded version of the original "Sky Crane".However, when the sky crane landed directly on the surface this time, it was strongly shaken, which caused the part where the fuel tank was connected to the engine to rupture, causing irreparable damage.

The spokesman said: "That's exactly the case. Bluwins Zhao felt that we gave up on him, and that we would have all kinds of extreme reactions under psychologically stimulated conditions. It's not that we didn't want to save him, but that we couldn't save him. "

The reporter asked: "Excuse me, if the facts are what you said, why is Zhao still alive after five solar days? People can survive for a few days without eating, but it is impossible to survive without breathing."

The spokesperson squeezed his forehead: "We guess that he must have carried some extra oxygen cylinders. It may also be because he carried more supplies in private, which caused the weight of the lander to be too heavy, so the fuel tank broke. We wanted Curiosity to see how he was doing, and as you all know, Zhao removed the isotope battery from the rover. His emotions were out of control."

Even Zhao Yanling didn't expect that NASA would turn the tables on her, saying "lost control of her emotions" to blame her fault completely.

Netizens all over the world are similar, because there is too much information, no one to distinguish the authenticity.As long as someone guides you, follow the crowd and criticize.

Immediately, many voices criticizing Zhao Yanling appeared on the Internet.

At this moment, Zhao Yanling sent back another video.

In the video, he took the data on the lander and even disassembled the fuel tank for everyone to see for themselves.

A staff member of the European Space Agency claimed that, judging from the screen, there was indeed no fuel installed. At the same time, if it was really because of the heavy weight as NASA said, Zhao Yanling could not be unscathed, and it was impossible for the lander to have only one Zhao Yanling couldn't hold on for two days.

Speech is more free over there, and people are not afraid of offending others, and they come when they have something to say.

Netizens are like grass on a wall, falling on both sides.

……

Zhao Yanling uses laser engraving, and whenever he finds a larger rock or hill, he will leave his name everywhere.

He took a lot of photos, visited many places, and saw various terrains within a radius of dozens of miles.

Videos and photos are far richer than those captured by the Mars rover.

At the same time, a large number of soil samples and rocks were collected, packed into the space and taken away.

He made a short video of Mars with a clear picture, and sent it back to Earth from time to time, and sent it to the short video platform of Xinghai Live.

In the past, Zhao Yanling didn't play this kind of real-time short video.But the situation is different now, what kind of pyramid-shaped rocks, what black stones, what organic matter, he classified them into categories, and used 10 minutes each time to send messages.

Netizens have seen the true face of Mars.

"Long pose!"

"I feel that Mars is not suitable for human habitation."

"Old Zhao is now the king of Mars."

"The greatest explorer on this planet, haha, fittingly, you are the only one on Mars."

On the 15th solar day of Mars, Zhao Yanling used a robotic arm drill to discover solid water in the permafrost several meters underground and successfully liquefied it.Through the water circulation system, it becomes pure water.

The two elements, metal and water, already constitute the most basic living conditions.

Immediately afterwards, oxygen was successfully produced by using water.

No. On the 17th solar day, Zhao Yanling found the crater exposed by the sand dune movement.There are gravels aggregated into conglomerate in the crater. The corners of the gravel are different from the edges and corners of ordinary Martian rocks, but rather round.

This is so rare. According to the size and shape of these gravels, Zhao Yanling speculates that this is the ancient riverbed of Mars.

Various data were sent back to the space agency, and the China Space Agency estimated that the flow rate of this ancient river on Mars could reach 1.3 meters per second.The depth is roughly equivalent to the height of a person above the hips and below the chest.

The China Space Administration used these data and pictures to hold a press conference.

Scientists claim that some rocks in the ancient river bed are very round and should have been carried a long way by the river.Zhao Yanling was already digging deeply, trying to find more clues.

The spokesperson of NASA requested that China should share more detailed data with them and ESA.

Zhao Yanling's ability to land on Mars is not just the result of the efforts of China alone.

The space agency replied: "Zhao Yanling's ability to stay on Mars is indeed not the result of our country's efforts. We did not expect him to discover these things."

In a word, he turned back.

Originally, these should be the results shared by the three parties.But now, only the domestic will receive the data sent by Zhao Yanling.

Just ask if you are angry?

One message after another was released to the whole world through the space agency.

Zhao Yanling not only discovered the ancient river bed, but also found evidence of the existence of microorganisms on Mars in the rocks of the river water.Zhao Yanling found carbon-containing organic matter and perchlorate on the rock, as well as a small piece of biological traces tightly attached to the rock.

This is awesome!
For a long time, detectors from various countries have tried to find evidence that there is life or life on Mars.

Judging from the photos, Zhao Yanling drilled the ground with a drill bit, and at the same time personally swung a shovel, digging sand and rocks, doing coolies.

The whole world is wondering how he survived on Mars.

However, Zhao Yanling never gave a definite answer.

He just keeps sending pictures back, sending messages.

He even updated Weibo and Twitter, telling the public that he took a shower on Mars.

"I guess, Lao Zhao must have discovered surface liquid water to survive, and this makes sense."

"That will run out of ammunition and food sooner or later, but it's just a delay. Unless, Lao Zhao can also grow potatoes on Mars, but obviously that is impossible."

Not to mention, Zhao Yanling really planted two tomato trees in the temporary base.

He took the seeds, and used the energy of the holy spring and the chemical fertilizers stored in the space to promote the birth, and the tomato plants easily grew into shape.

However, he has not made public the photos including the base.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanling discovered Martian soil on a piece of ground surrounded by rocks.Not a powder of regolith, but real soil.

Zhao Yanling took samples separately, and packed away the evidence of the existence of microorganisms. The rest of the soil and the soil layer of the ancient river bed were filled with more than 20 test tubes, each weighing [-] grams.

On the No. 19 solar day, Zhao Yanling deployed the sensors, and the data sent back showed that there was a storm warning.

When he received the data, he went out and saw that the end of the horizon had been covered by red dust and loess all over the sky.

With his helmet on, he could hear a faint rumble.According to his visual inspection, the diameter of the storm is at least more than 1000 kilometers, and the direction is 28.62 degrees.

The sensors that he dropped on the ground were blown away one by one.

Before the connection was lost, the incoming data showed that the wind force may have reached more than 9800 newtons...

Zhao Yanling was shocked, and immediately put all the robots into the space, and folded and put away the photovoltaic power generation panels.

Now, the two newly printed bases that have been formed are facing the test of the storm.

If it is blown away by the storm, there is no way.

This is Mars, and sooner or later it will go through it all.

After finishing these, Zhao Yanling hurried to the base.

And the edge of the storm has arrived.There were flying sand and rocks, and the shell of the base was knocked and crackled.

Sandstorms were blown into the gate of the base, and Zhao Yanling closed it in time.

Inside the base, the sound was much quieter.Because the base not only has two layers of metal, but also filled with water intended to isolate solar radiation.

Not daring to take off the protective clothing, Zhao Yanling waited nervously in the base for the storm to pass.

In case the base is damaged, at least he will not be exposed.

This period was very tormenting. Wearing protective clothing, he couldn't find things to do for entertainment, and he seemed to be waiting for the judgment of fate.

After waiting like years for a long time, finally, he keenly sensed that the vibration of the base from the storm had diminished.

He tried to turn on the camera outside to check, and saw that the large-scale storm had moved away, and the dust had dissipated a lot.

So, carefully opened the base door.

The folded photovoltaic power generation panels were not blown away, and the newly built base remained motionless, buried a little by some dust, but it was not a big problem.

He checked one by one, and if the bases built in this way were not up to standard, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Fortunately, although the storm was scary, nothing was lost.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly frowned.

It turned out that the coffin container was gone!
It might have been blown away, it might have been buried.

He walked towards the coffin, and saw a corner of the coffin exposed in the dust.The lander not far away was blown to the ground.

He hurriedly took out the shovel to dig, and found that the coffin was opened, and the dust was scattered with broken ice, and the inside was empty.

This surprise was really no small matter, it shocked him even more than the storm just now.

What about the people inside?
Was it blown away?

He dug out the entire coffin and cleaned the sides, but still no body was found.

This is weird.

Thinking about the direction of the previous storm, it happened to be in the same direction as the two points and one line between the coffin and the lander.

He hurriedly went to the lander to observe again, but still did not find the body.

Returning to the base with a lot of worries, Zhao Yanling took off his protective clothing and lay on the bed thinking hard.

I hope that Mother Ruin can't stop Mars from being only one percent of the earth's air pressure, and that Mother Ruin can't adapt to the harsh weather of Mars.Isn't the low temperature able to freeze it?

At this moment, he had the idea of ​​retreating.

No. On the 20th solar day, Zhao Yanling released the robot again and arranged the sensors again.I was busy until the sun entered the horizon, but suddenly I saw a "person" standing vaguely at the end of the horizon.
