At this moment, the ten clones were wearing thin dark yellow space suits with circles of tape wrapped around them, like interstellar refugees.

These tapes are mainly used to fix the shape of the film space suits and prevent them from bulging into a ball due to excessive internal pressure.

But there were still circles of air bulging out between the gaps in the tape, like excess fat.

Inside the space suits, the clones wore heavy clothes, trying their best to keep their own heat inside and prevent it from escaping to the outside.

Air heated by the batteries comes out of the vents and blows across the suit's vision glasses, preventing them from frosting while also supplying precious oxygen to the interior of the suit.

There is a lighting fixture above the head that is also powered by batteries, like a mining lamp.

There is no other way. It is too dark on Luoshen and we cannot do without lighting.

After feeling the clones' bodies, Li Qingsong did not notice any discomfort.

It's just a little bit cold, I don't know if it's psychological or physiological. But it doesn't matter, when it gets too cold, I'll go back to the landing spacecraft cabin to keep warm.

Ten clones got off the boat and truly stood on the land of Roselle, feeling the gravity of Roselle which was only about 8% of that of the Earth.

Here, a human weighing 100 kg will weigh only about 8 kg.

Here, every ordinary person is a strongman.

Four clones left the landing site in a planetary car and began to look for the minerals they needed in the surrounding area. The remaining six clones came to a landing spacecraft, removed all the equipment that could be removed inside the spacecraft, temporarily took them out and put them on the ground, and then exerted force at the same time to lift up the landing spacecraft whose mass had been reduced to five tons.

Of course, although it has a mass of five tons, its weight here is only 400KG, which can be lifted by six clones.

Next to the landing site was a deep canyon. The six clones carefully cooperated and carried the landing spacecraft along a gentle slope to the bottom of the canyon, where the cave had already been explored.

The cave is sunken about 30 meters inward, 20 meters wide and about 5 meters high.

In this way, it has a space of about 600 square meters inside, and most of the surrounding areas are protected by the thick rocks of Luoshen.

Under the illumination of the mining lamp, the uneven, dark red surface, almost the same as the outside world, appeared in front of Li Qingsong.

That is tholin, a strange copolymer molecule that does not exist on Earth but only on distant planets far away from the sun. It is formed through interstellar high-energy radiation and a series of complex mechanisms.

They can come in a variety of colors, but most are brownish-red or dark red.

This substance is common on distant dwarf planets such as Roselle. It is because of them that Roselle looks dark red.

Like frozen dry ice, methane, ethane, water ice, oxygen, nitrogen, and the surface rocks of Roselle, these tholins are extremely strong, harder than the hardest steel.

This is where Li Qingsong is going to build the first Luoshen Star base.

He manipulated six clones to work hard, and all the materials and equipment from the landing spacecraft that had been dismantled before were brought here.

Afterwards, an electric heating device was connected to the small fission reactor inside the landing spacecraft and began to burn the surface with high temperature.

A large amount of gas was generated instantly and sublimated directly into the vacuum environment. Then it either escaped directly from the gravitational field of Luoshen, or was cooled after leaving a certain distance, solidified again, and turned into snowflakes that fell and piled up.

After clearing out an area of ​​about 200 square meters, the six clones worked together again and began to level the surface using simple tools.

It took three full days of hard work to complete this series of work.

During this time, because it was too cold, the clones had to return to the landing spacecraft cabin to rest for a while every few hours, to keep warm and eat something.

When it gets warmer, they come out again to join in the work.

The plastic film that makes up the space suit was damaged many times during this process, and grayish-white gas could often be seen spraying out from the body of a clone like a column.

But it doesn’t matter. If there is a tear, just use tape to seal it. It won’t affect your work.

Finally completing the surface cleanup, the six clones took out a large pile of plastic film used to make space suits and spread it out carefully.

They have been processed in advance and become a huge tent.

Of course, because there was no gas at the moment, they did not swell up, but piled up on the ground.

At this time, the four clones who went to look for minerals also came back driving a planet car.

Their truck beds were filled with "ores" of various colors.

Among them, oxygen that has been frozen into a solid at extremely low temperatures is light blue, solid nitrogen is transparent, and dry ice is white.

Of course, because it contains a lot of impurities, this color is not pure.

These gases have become like minerals on Luoshen and can be mined piece by piece.

The clones moved the ores into the membrane tent, connected it to a small nuclear fission power station, sealed the tent, and then began to carefully heat the ores.

A large amount of gas was quickly generated, and like pumping air, the soft tent slowly expanded, and eventually became a house with a coverage area of ​​about 200 square meters and a height of two meters.

There is even an isolation cabin at the entrance and exit of this "house".

It has two doors that separate a separate cabin. When the clones enter or leave the house, they will first enter the isolation cabin and extract or release air as needed to prevent the gas from escaping.

After the tent was finally inflated, the clones outside were busy pulling and fixing it, while the clones inside connected the power supply and installed multiple lighting fixtures.

At this moment, the lights are turned on, and the 200-square-meter empty hall is in full view.

Because the gas had just been heated, the temperature inside the tent was not low at this moment, more than 20 degrees Celsius.

One of the clones tried to open his space suit and took a breath of outside air, and the slightly pungent air entered his lungs.

"It's a little choking, probably because of the impurities. But it doesn't have much of an impact."

Looking at the empty hall, Li Qingsong felt relieved.

He seemed to see rows of soilless cultivation racks covered with lush green vegetables and golden rice and wheat.

“This is the first base I built on Luoshen Star.

Next, I will try to grow vegetables and food here. When I have enough food, I will create more clones. "
