"Standing on Mars" was a proposition that could only be directed at the movie channel yy more than three years ago. At that time, I also like watching science fiction movies, especially watching science fiction movies related to alien planets— —Yes, it's the kind of movie where Americans can save the earth in the last thirty minutes and the protagonist must be one or more pairs of dogs and men. At that time, I always watched the kind of alien planet synthesized in the movie studio. The sight and the desolate and strange world phenomenon felt relaxed and fascinating.

Now I can only sigh, youth is no longer like the moon and the moon, and the simple young man who used to see the lunar craters for a long time can now be intoxicated for half a day.

At the beginning, Qian Qian was also very interested in this red planet. She carried a laser cannon and jumped to find a crater to write her name, but soon she was bored with the monotonous scenery in front of her. He hummed with a cannon, until I greeted 700 billion yuan, everyone was quieter when they drove to the impact pit one.

"It's so desolate. I still firmly believed that there were aliens on Mars until I was thirteen."

Lying on the window and glancing outward, I mumbled.

Outside is the rugged land like the Gobi Desert. Iron oxide makes them look a kind of dirty red. It may be due to the impact of the shock wave. We encountered a lot of fragmentation along the way, and the color is completely different from the surrounding land. Boulders, the traces of traction under the boulder are clear, indicating that these stones are new guests to this land. Instruments have shown that these stones are more or less radiated with psionic energy: they were ejected from near the impact crater. The sky is turbid, the sky is dim, and the atmosphere of Mars is thin, but the sunlight is correspondingly weak, and there is too much dust in the upper atmosphere. Therefore, even if it is still in the daytime of Mars, it still looks a bit twilight around. Looking at the horizon in the distance, I suddenly made a great discovery, and said joyfully, "Look! Mountains!"

I looked in the direction of my shallow fingers and found that there was a continuous brown "alpine" there. Their height was so even that there was no interruption in the length of the entire horizon. I watched curiously, watched the strengthened vision, and finally faintly saw the surface of the continuous mountains: like a large piece of cotton wool being twisted.

"It's a storm."

Sandola knocked on me and my shallow head, "I said, an empire head, an empire mother, at least you occasionally add some common sense, okay! The term Martian storm has been invented by Earth scientists How many years! "

"I depend! This is the Martian storm? So spectacular?" I exclaimed suddenly. The Martian storm turned out to be such a prestigious thing. I often saw it in science fiction movies. I saw it this time, but I did n’t expect it. It turned out to be this way, to be honest, it was really different from what I had used to supplement the brain. They were ... larger than the scale of the supplement.

At the extreme distance of the horizon, looking at it is like a majestic mountain range. If this is drawn to the eyes, how big should it be?

I am astonished by Qian Qianyi. Although I have seen a lot of exotic or magical or spectacular scenery when fighting outside, I have witnessed this kind of Mars storm that felt super mysterious and mighty since childhood. A little excited, Qian Qian became active again, and she began to discuss with Sandora that if you want to fly a kite in the Martian storm, you need a stronger kite line ...

On one side, I was holding Pandora with a sly expression and Viscar with a gaze on my eyes, trying to reduce my sense of existence. I was afraid that for a while, I would tie my waist with a steel wire and drag it into the Martian storm with 700 billion yuan. It's not like she can't do it.

"Wait a minute, is that a **** horse?"

Just as I was trying to reduce my sense of presence, Qian Qian suddenly stopped the topic of flying a kite in a Martian storm, yelling at the outside of the car window in surprise.

Sandora and I immediately followed the sound, and following my shallow fingers, I saw that on a small high ground not far above the ground in the front left, something suddenly flashed in the sun.

"Is it a small piece of missing net?"

Sandora muttered strangely, "Look over."

Seven hundred billion yuan was ordered to turn immediately, and slid briskly to the high ground hundreds of meters away. A few of us pushed the door down and reached the flashing thing.

"It wasn't made by the Empire," Sandora looked at the heavily damaged metal object not far away, and shook her head slightly. "It's totally broken."

On the ground not far ahead, there was a embarrassing machine lying quietly, half of its body had been buried in the dust, and the exposed part was also covered with reddish-brown sand, which used to be a clean and bright solar panel. Now only a third of the bare brackets are left, and the entire machine is dead and has lost its power for many years.

Shallowly and curiously stepped forward and kicked the thing, and suddenly all the metal plates on it fell down, bringing up a piece of flying dust, shallow and not too dirty, came forward and picked up the broken metal plate Get up and show me the symbol above.

Former Soviet Union flag.

"This is Mars 3." Sandora glanced at the metal plate and said in an unexpected tone, "It's here."

I was suddenly shocked.

"Are you sure?" I looked at Sandora in surprise. "This is the first probe made by a human and landed on Mars. How did you know?"

Sandola shrugged: "I'm afraid I know more about human history than you do. This is Mars 3. I didn't expect that such a coincidence would happen."

She blinked with confusion, she really didn't know what Mars 3 was. I could only explain to her that this was the first time that humans successfully landed on this planet in the initial stage of exploring Mars. The detector, although it stopped working after twenty seconds, was still a milestone.

Sandora took the metal plate that was almost invisible from Shallow hands, gently wiped off the dust, and put it back on the old detector in front.

Sandora stood less than five meters in front of Mars 3 and looked at it quietly, as if paying attention, the ancient machine almost buried in dust reflected the gleam in the dim sunlight of Mars and pulled it out. With a long shadow, like a veteran with an old candlelight, he accepted the greeting calmly.

"Scouting force, record our current coordinates. This is a protected area. Avoid it during the operation." Sandora ordered the reconnaissance force who followed up to collect the fallen wreckage, and then turned back to the car.

In the car, I gave Sandora a curious look: "I always feel weird just now."

"You mean paying tribute to a scrapped detector?" Sandola smiled and squeezed the corner of my mouth gently. "That's right, because it's a monument, even if it's just a clump of scrap metal, even if it's on it." There is only one camera, it is also a monument, and the monument requires attention. "

"Tradition." Pandora suddenly uttered two words, always concise.

"It's tradition, and it was once made by the empire. It's regarded as law in the multiverse." Sandola seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face from now on. "No matter what kind of civilization is, When you waved for the first time outside, it was commendable, so the empire once stipulated that anyone who sees the first-generation probe or other similar relics used by other civilizations to explore space in the desolate area should be saluted. In the law of the Empire, one of the important conditions for dividing a civilization into a civilized or an occluded civilization is the first detector they launched into space. "

I and Shallow both looked very surprised, and Sandora continued: "The first spacecraft, the first satellite, and the first landing capsule on an alien planet, these things are all memorable Yes, the empire even enacted laws specifically for this purpose to clarify the "civilized status" of these things, and even the Star Protoss are supporters of this decree. There are some vassal civilizations that will recover them and the first generation of their own civilization The detector is regarded as a sacred object. These monuments are absolutely not allowed to be traded or desecrated. The empire will personally supervise. The old empire once had a vassal civilization that destroyed the first satellite landing vehicle on the way to the memorial. , That blatant breach of empire law eventually resulted in the death of 476 million people. "

I almost dropped off the chair and said, "So many people killed pirates? Exaggerated!"

Sandora scratched her hair: "You did n’t know the old empire. At first, it was a pirate fight. Within seventeen minutes, it became a war between two civilizations. One was an vassal of the empire and the other was a pirate. After the two civilizations declared war, the local garrison in the empire intervened. After three warnings and confirmation that the civilization to which the pirate belongs was unwilling to surrender, the garrison destroyed the enemy's home star. Later it was called 'One Hour Ten' The "two-part war", because it took an hour and twelve minutes from the pirate attack to the completion of the extinction order. Similar wars were common in the old empire. At that time we were busy destroying the abyss on the front line, so in the principle of efficiency first, elsewhere The war we all worked hard to end in two hours ... "

I was sweating coldly, thinking that fortunately the old empire was over. What kind of lunatics are they all? Of course, the "Civilization Monument Protection Law" they made is really touching.

The encounter with Mars 3 was just an emotional episode, and we quickly left this highland that has been transformed into a cultural reserve. 700 billion yuan ran quickly on the vast and rugged red land of Mars. Soon, a blue-black energy cloud is rapidly expanding in the sky ahead: we are approaching the largest impact crater.

And the magnificent wreckage that fell from the sky has already appeared in sight.

Like a mountain that has fallen from heaven, and a horn of the earth that protruded from the depths of hell, a sun-shade day has appeared in front of our eyes, and the huge wreckage can not be seen at all. Its surface is dull metallic The release of exhausted phantoms occasionally flashed across this dim mountain, like ghostly undead, the once indestructible battleship armor was potholes, especially in front of us, the armor even cracked a line enough to penetrate the entire wreckage Huge cracks. Looking through this terrible crack, you can only see the dark secondary buffer zone and the mechanical structure that has been burnt and deformed buried in the buffer zone. Lightning and thick smoke burst from the crack. Warning. People who have to approach rashly: high voltage danger, non-professionals do not open the back cover ...

Well, in fact, I really can't find a good word to describe this spectacular rift: how strong is the power to tear an eternal starship into hundreds and fall to the Lord in such a miserable manner Material plane?

Is it just a forced landing failure?

Still, before the spacecraft was forced to land, it was being pursued ...

I looked at the numerous pothole scars on the wreckage armor and the molten pits left by the high-temperature spot fire, and my heart moved.

The reconnaissance unit has set up a scientific outpost near this largest wreck, which is a rapidly space-expanding frontline laboratory, several functional towers, and a soldier station, which is large enough for Hollywood to be an early Martian colony. Click here to make a movie, but it was a folding room built in ten minutes.

Two imperial technicians in white uniforms and some technicians were recording data under the wreckage when we arrived and tried to open one of its access gates. Instead of disturbing their work, we drove around the giant first. Xu Xingdi made a circle before getting off in front of the wreckage.

It seems to have cut off the starship directly and dropped it. It is at least ten kilometers in length. That is to say, if it is not placed here at an angle and a quarter buried in the ground, this thing is better than the Himalayas. Still high.

"Here is the eternal power section, and a quarter of the navigation system cabin section-but the latter must be finished," Sandora led everyone to the technically busy pipeline gates, and judged "The armor has traces of being attacked by weapons. There is no life response in the wreckage, and the crew must have been killed."

"Your Majesty, the gate locked itself before the ship disintegrated," an Imperial technician who had been working for a long time in front of the pipeline gate came to us and reported loudly, "No other way to enter the wreckage has been found except this pipeline."

Sandora frowned. "What I want is a solution, not a problem."

"We plan to cut the gate directly, but if some of the self-destructing system in the wreckage has energy, it may explode."

The imperial technician blamed by Sandora immediately stated their plans and the possible consequences, obviously he needed to report it.

I looked at the wreckage of the starship in front of me, and thought that there was a difference between this appearance and the self-destruction ...

"No trouble, let me try."

At this moment, Veska suddenly interrupted the technician's report. She blinked at us, and a hint of slyness flashed in the blood-red cat pupil: "Brother is stupid, this is my spaceship!"

A word from the little girl, Sandora and I turned around to look at the sky at the same time.

Veska had come to the gate of the pipeline at this time. The thick, round gate was marked with the emblem of the Veska Destruction Legion in blood red. The little girl pressed her hand on the emblem and closed her eyes slightly. Began to be linked to the traffic control system still operating in the wreckage of the warship. Since the gate is locked internally rather than mechanically stuck, it means that its opening power is still usable, and Veska uses this to begin Re-take control of various controls in the wreckage.

This process didn't take long. When Pandora's belly sounded a "didi" sound for the third time, her cat pupil sister exhaled: "That's it!"

"Zizi ..."

Along with the severe friction of metal noise, the heavy and thick pipe entrance automatically opened. Due to energy leakage, the gate kept jumping bright sparks from the edge when it was opened, but fortunately the remaining power was still enough for this nearly 100 tons of metal.疙瘩 Open enough gaps. Gushing out of the gate was an extremely violent hot wind, which made Sandola's long hair throw me away on the spot, and she made a shallow cough for a long time, half a minute, this hot airflow Only calmed down.

"Here is an auxiliary cooling channel," Vizka led us toward the wreckage. "Although the power system has stopped, the circulation system of the channel is still running, and the extra heat of the psionic coil will come from the front every five minutes. Once the main pipe of the machine is cycled, there will also be hot air in this auxiliary pipe. This is an old trick, but I lacked some blueprints in my database at that time and can only be designed like this. "

As a heat dissipation channel, it is not very spacious here, and the surrounding walls are full of inexplicable mechanical structures and conductive cables. Of course, these dark colors are very different from the bright and bright alloy corridors of common Imperial battleships ~ www .readwn.com ~ But it has a feeling of heavy metal science fiction. This is the first time I and Qian entered a "lower" place like an Empire Starship's heat pipe. Naturally, it feels very novel. On this trip, I had to help her take a photo with a random corner horn on the road: we are not under any pressure, because obviously in such a high-tech place, I can't do anything with shallow ...

Pandora has been looking around silently along the way. Although her face was almost motionless, I can still feel the little girl's eyes moving back and forth. Obviously, she also cares about the warships that her twin sister once led. of.

This pipe is not straight. Due to the impact of the crash, it has been twisted in many places. Many pipe walls have wide cracks. You can see the broken cables inside through the cracks. Some do n’t know The large pieces of distorted metal or crystal that belonged to the original battleship would suddenly pierce through the walls of the pipe and block the way forward. Sandora had exposed her claws, and they were treacherously twisting these obstacles into one. Debris: Because I can't worry about Pandora's safety factor when using a gun to open the road.

In this destructive way, Sandora's claw cleared us all obstacles on the way forward. In the end, we passed this cooling pipe that sprayed a face every five minutes. After breaking through an alloy barrier , Entered the personnel channel of the starship.
