Chapter 395 Landing on Mars 4
(There are great mentions that artificial buildings such as pyramids have been discovered outside the Earth, such as Mars, Venus, the moon, etc. However, on the real official website, the official did not point out that it is hype; of course it may be true, after all, the pyramids on Earth cannot be explained. But this book will not explain this.) It is not a simple matter to complete the construction of a base on Mars. Because there is nothing here, there are not enough workers, and there are not enough infrastructure machinery, it is difficult to build a huge base bit by bit with 50 people. Especially, this is the real rocky ground, not the ice layer on Ceres, and it is impossible to use heat melting tools.
The red surface, quicksand floats, about one meter on the ground, is basically a mixture of turbid sand and dust and air, which brings too many difficulties to the operation.
"Hi, I said Lao Yang, why do we need to build a permanent base in the equatorial area? I heard that after the north and south dimensions, there is a permanent frozen layer, so you can dig holes in it!" Ding Shiyou, the captain of the fourth team, asked casually. But you can't say it casually. The company's senior management said something, but the people below were busy breaking their legs.
"Old Ding, don't say that, I really know a little about this. Not a lot, but I think we can confirm it later." Yang Zhencheng replied, "First of all, Mars is not Ceres. As a large planet, there is too much carbon dioxide on it. In fact, if there was not green life on Earth, the carbon dioxide released after the carbonate was heated was fixed and circulated, the Earth would have been a carbon dioxide planet.
In addition, the solidification temperature of carbon dioxide is relatively low, and it can become dry ice at more than minus forty degrees Celsius. The highest temperature on Mars is only more than 30 degrees Celsius. After 60 degrees Celsius in the north and south, it is basically several dozen degrees Celsius. The ground is even more low temperatures above zero. In this case, these ice layers contain a large amount of carbon dioxide. Building a base on such a ground is not very safe, and a little heated carbon dioxide will explode in large quantities.
In addition, the temperature in the equatorial area is relatively high, making it easy to build artificial life areas, cultivate plants, etc., and even collect light to provide sufficient electricity to the base."
"Be careful, all the people are careful, and now hide in the gaps in the box loading the cargo. The powerful sandstorm will arrive in ten minutes. Take action now."
In space, spacecraft have been monitoring the surface of Mars. Although Mars is much thinner than the Earth's atmosphere, only one percent, but it is also because the atmosphere is thin, not sticky, and it is easier to flow! Therefore, there are a lot of winds on Mars, and it is not small. In fact, the entire surface of Mars is made of strong winds carrying red sand after hundreds of millions of years. Therefore, the surface of Mars is particularly smooth compared to Mercury, the moon, etc.
"Damn it!" Yang Zhencheng was speechless, "Hide and hide. This thing is not very friendly."
It is indeed not very friendly. This is a tornado with a diameter of more than 30 meters and a speed of more than 100 meters. The carrier's large amount of sand is a natural grinder. These sands are not silicon sand on the earth, but red Martian sand carrying a large amount of iron oxide powder. The grinding ability is absolutely unquestionable. Once humans are disturbed, these space suits may not be able to withstand the grinding of these Martian sands.
The storm on Mars came very quickly. When everyone had just hid in the cargo box, they heard crackling sounds outside. The sound was not loud, but it had a unique metal friction sound.
"Hey, I said Lao Ding, if you continue to take this photo, how long can our warehouse last?"
"It is impossible to estimate, let these things be left to experts for handling. But to be honest, I think if humans are exposed to such storms, they will not feel comfortable even if they do not die. This is so similar to the mythical and legendary 萌同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同同�
"Okay, we'll know later." Without getting the answer I wanted, Yang Zhencheng shrugged helplessly.
The storm on Mars goes very quickly, and because of the thin air, the storm has a small impact range; of course, this also causes strong storms within the impact range.
Because the storm has a small impact, I went there very quickly. After only three minutes, I passed; everyone received a notice and could go out.
But when we got outside, the drastic change still made everyone who was prepared a little stunned. A "road" that was 10 meters wide and was obviously higher than the ground spread to the distance. It was a gift left after the strong wind - of course, no one liked such a gift.
What surprised everyone even more was that on the side facing the wind, the spray paint on the surface of some cargo containers had been severely worn, and some places even had a bright steel layer exposed.
"Hiss!" Everyone who saw it took a breath of air conditioning. In the past, everyone only knew that the reason why the surface of Mars was so "smooth" was the result of the joint action of these Martian winds and sand, but they did not expect that the effect was so terrifying.
When this picture was sent back to the spaceship, Liu Haibo sighed. Fortunately, he was a little prepared and careful. If he was like an American blockbuster, wearing an ordinary space suit and shuttled through the wind, maybe there would be only a bunch of bones left now! Sure enough, science fiction blockbusters are not good!
With this understanding, everyone will be more careful in their work next. Once the storm is observed and the route is determined, they will definitely avoid it as soon as possible.
However, it is because of the danger that everyone's working hours should be faster! It should be faster! The faster the better.
With the identity of a practitioner, even if he is not even a practitioner, he is extremely efficient in his work, and he can still do it if he persists for at least 48 hours without sleeping.
Especially the day on Mars, which is almost similar to the Earth, also gives everyone a regular schedule.
And it is also because there is no need to explore Venus, and everything will basically remain on Mars, so the tools are complete and the power is sufficient, and everyone's work is progressing very quickly. A large number of basic pre-installed components are easily fixed, and then reinforced and sealed with screws, etc.
In ten days, with the help of powerful but insufficient machinery, a base with a depth of ten meters and a radius of 30 meters was successfully built. This base is not as simple as Ceres. After all, there are ice cubes and easy to build; and because it is surrounded by rocks full of voids and full of carbon dioxide, everyone has to be prepared to isolate them. Iron boxes are dismantled - in fact, when designed, these boxes have multiple uses. In space, all the materials must be excavated, otherwise the cost will be absolutely high and the world will be hurt!
"Hi Yo! Hi Yo!" All astronauts have now become passionate workers and are now covering the space base. This top is extraordinary. It uses a strong and transparent material unique to the expert company, with a hardness of up to 100 or more, and it is almost impossible to wear in theory - of course, it is just theoretically.
