I was exposed for mining on Mars

"Your Excellency, Commander, the shield extender has just passed Blue Star's aircraft and is changing orbit to Blue Star."

After Luo Xiu confirmed that controllable nuclear fusion was almost successful, the base control system introduced the shield extender to Luo Xiu.

"Are we almost there?"

Luo Xiu, who has been busy with controllable nuclear fusion experiments these days, has not cared about Blue Star for some days.

"Show me the picture."

In addition to various manufacturing equipment and orbital docks, Luo Xiu has also installed observation stations for observation in Mars orbit.

Through the observatory, Luo Xiu can now directly observe the dynamics of the blue star.

So after Luo Xiu finished speaking, the base control system called up the shielding extender that was being tracked in the helmet of Luo Xiu's exoskeleton armor.

"The extenders have left shielding terminals among Blue Star's aircraft, and all their signals are now controlled by planetary shields."

The reason why the extender passed by Luo Faqi and others before was mainly to cover them within the range of the shield.

After all, their goal is Mars. If they communicate with Blue Star, Luo Xiu's existence will most likely be exposed.

Therefore, for his own safety, Luo Xiu also had to block it.

"Acquire their signals." Under Luo Xiu's instructions, the signals previously transmitted from the Blue Star aircraft to the major control centers were also transmitted to Luo Xiu's ears.

‘Blue Star, we are about to encounter a UFO. ’

‘Good luck to Blue Star. ’

‘The Chinese aircraft ahead are about to encounter unknown flying objects. Once they are hit, we will also be hit by the debris flow. ’

‘Even if we change orbit, we can’t escape the debris belt. ’

'Wait, they passed by! ’

The first thing Luo Xiu heard was the signal transmitted from each aircraft to Blue Star when the shield extender arrived at the Blue Star Landing Group.

Among them, most astronauts are still not afraid of the arrival of the extenders. After all, the personnel on these aircraft are selected from many levels, and their will and spirit are far superior to ordinary people.

‘The response was quite good. ’ Luo Xiu was quite satisfied with the reaction of these astronauts.

"Continue to monitor this batch of aircraft. After the extender covers the Blue Star, the shield of the Blue Star from Mars can be lifted."

For Luo Xiu, all he needed to do was hide his presence in the Cygnus's advance fleet. It didn't matter that Blue Star couldn't see it.

By the time these Blue Star astronauts arrive on Mars, Luo Xiu's first fleet should also be built. By that time, Luo Xiu can also start communicating with Blue Star.

After possessing force, Luo Xiu had a bargaining chip to communicate.

If Luo Xiu communicated with Blue Star in advance, he would only encounter Pride and Prejudice. Blue Star people are afraid of alien civilization, but they are not afraid of a human being of the same race.

Even if this human being has more technology than Blue Star.

Therefore, Luo Xiu would rather delay communication with Blue Star than lose leadership of the entire civilization.

"Okay, Commander."

For Luo Xiu's instructions, the base control system has always executed very quickly.

"Well, that's it." After turning off the signals of Blue Star's batch of aircraft, Luo Xiu took another look at the still-operating test reactor ahead, "Continue to operate. If it can still run perfectly in four days, we will start miniaturization. Experiment."

In order to ensure the controllability of nuclear fusion, Luo Xiu decided to continue operating the test reactor for a period of time.

"Okay, Your Excellency." After Luo Xiu finished speaking, another command was entered into the command set by the base control system.

After replying, just when Luo Xiu turned around and prepared to leave, the base control system said again: "Your Excellency, Commander, the wreckage of the spacecraft has already begun to be repaired."

The wreckage of the spacecraft that the base control said was the one that Luo Xiu crashed into Mars.

Although this spacecraft is only a reconnaissance ship, its technological level far exceeds that of the interstellar battleships of this era. Of course, it only has reconnaissance functions and does not carry anti-matter annihilation bombs, plasma beams and other weapons.

Even its crew is usually only three people. And because when the starship humans separated from the cruising fleet, there were too many reconnaissance ships and too few operators, so in the end there was even a situation where one person operated a reconnaissance ship.

And Luo Xiu was the operator of this reconnaissance ship under such circumstances.

Of course, with the existence of a spacecraft control system, most of the time the operator only needs to check whether the spacecraft is operating normally.

At this time, the main reason why Luo Xiu wanted to repair it was also for its detection equipment.

The data stored on the ship had long been taken out by Luo Xiu. Except for the detection equipment that was about to be repaired, the ship no longer had much use value.

"Just repair it." Now for such a small task, Luo Xiu was not interested in going to the scene to watch it.

"Tomorrow I will go to the orbital platform, and the construction of the Mars surface will continue as usual."

Most of the surface of Mars is now occupied by Luo Xiu's buildings, and the construction here no longer requires Luo Xiu's too much attention.

Compared with the construction of the Mars surface, the dock of the orbital platform is what Luo Xiu needs to pay attention to.

After the first fleet is produced, antimatter annihilation bombs will also be produced in Mars orbit, and small-yield tests will be conducted outside the asteroid belt.

This experiment will be so small that it will not even be observed.

The reason is that Luo Xiu allowed the advance fleet to detect the antimatter annihilation bomb in order to prevent it from causing excessive fluctuations in the solar system.

After all, although the planetary shield can shield all kinds of signals, it cannot shield gravitational waves.

This kind of ripples caused by the curvature of space and time can never be smoothed out by planetary shields alone.

If Luo Xiu used the yield used in Cygnus's first test, not to mention the advance fleet, even Cygnus would be able to directly observe the test of the antimatter annihilation bomb. Of course, even if Luo Xiu wanted to use such an amount of antimatter, he would never dare to conduct experiments in the solar system.

"Okay, Your Excellency, Commander, we will dispatch an orbital shuttle vehicle for you tomorrow." After learning that Luo Xiu wanted to go to the Mars orbital platform, the base control system also immediately dispatched an orbital shuttle vehicle for the next day. , to be used as Luo Xiu’s special round-trip equipment.

At this time, when various small equipment wants to travel from the surface of Mars to the Mars orbital platform, it is no longer necessary to launch it through an electromagnetic railgun. Instead, small orbital round-trip vehicles are directly used, achieving low energy consumption and high-frequency round-trip operations.

This is how various robots and construction tools are sent into Mars orbit.
