Chapter 407: Win-win Cooperation
Tang Chao wants to stay on Mars, and the supplies carried by that landing craft are not enough.
The manned cabin of the Mars landing craft can serve as their temporary survival place. It contains food, water, toilets, etc. Some seats can also be lying down and turned into beds. If it really doesn't work, you can go to the pressurized warehouse to take a hammock to sleep.
All the things add up to let 6 of them stay on Mars for 10 days.
In other words, they have to find a suitable base construction location within 10 days, and then land the living cabin to build the base.
If you can't find it, you can only land another landing craft and give them a temporary residence time "recharge".
For another 10 days, if the suitable base construction location is still not found in 20, they will have to withdraw the task of building a permanent base to establishing a temporary base.
It’s not that the materials brought in the spacecraft are not enough for their temporary consumption for a longer period of time, but because the chemical fuel they carry is limited.
In order to make the Spore spacecraft as compact as possible, they did not carry extra giant hydrogen and oxygen fuel tanks, so the hydrogen and oxygen fuel they carried was limited, so that both Mars landing craft could only land and take off once, and the two Mars survival capsules could only land once each.
Of course, establishing a temporary base does not mean it is abandoned after one use. It is just that astronauts and scientific researchers will not stay here, let alone develop a "Mars city" here.
Their functions are like the relationship between human society and Antarctic expedition stations. Although they cannot live for a long time, they can be used to conduct scientific research.
The astronauts stayed in the alien camp for most of the day and returned to the landing craft in the afternoon.
This is the first time that humans have come into contact with aliens. Although the aliens have unexpected peace, it is the first day after all, and the two sides have limited understanding, so we should try our best to restrain ourselves.
Moreover, something was wrong, and it was very different from the various mission plans discussed before, so they also needed to go back and communicate with the Earth.
Not only do they need to adjust their plans, but also the little green man needs to trim them.
When they left, the little green people took off their helmets and walked off the big mecha.
"Huh~ It's so tiring to have sex with the boss. All live broadcasts are not wrong at all."
"Of course, this is different from our experience of filming. There cannot be any NG shots, and it must be passed one by one."
"I feel that I'm doing well this time. Bill, you're too nervous. Fortunately, you've changed to Kanxing language that humans can't understand, pretending to have not learned Chinese well."
"Captain, do you see if I pass this performance? Can I get a Canska Little Green Man when I return to Kanxing?"
Linus smiled and nodded, "Everyone performed well this time, but there is still room for improvement. Valentina, I just noticed that your big mecha's right arm failed. It was obviously because it was not repaired before. If you repair it again, this situation will not happen tomorrow."
"Bill, you are too nervous. If you meet the boss later, if there is someone next to you, just say Kanxing language. The boss will understand it."
"Bob, you're pretty good, but you just let it go too far. If it weren't for the different races of humans, they would have seen that you were acting, so it's better for you to keep it a little behind you."
"That's it, do whatever you should do, rest after you finish it, and you will continue to act with the boss tomorrow."
"Okay, captain."
The aliens are quiet, while Tang Chao is very lively.
Back in the manned cabin, several people unarmed their power armor, took turns to the toilet, and then began to contact the earth.
Because of the delay issue, they will discuss it themselves while waiting for information, but basically everyone else says it. Tang Chao will only say something occasionally.
Compared to Tang Chao, others are really thinking about problems.
Since the contact with the aliens was very smooth this time, there was no battle, so some of the tactics they prepared before were useless, and they just listened to the aliens speaking Chinese.
Especially the aliens speak Chinese, which really shocked them all year long.
It is a good thing that humans can communicate with aliens, but it is not a good thing that aliens know human language, but humans do not understand alien language.
Some initiatives must be in their own hands, so learning alien languages must be put on the agenda.
There is also the matter of learning alien technology. They have carefully observed alien spacecraft. Alien spacecraft is indeed more advanced than human spacecraft. Just looking at the original materials of the spacecraft are different from the human equipment materials used for repair later.
Although they are not materials scientists, as astronauts, they still have the little vision when dealing with aerospace equipment every day.
They also saw some symbols in the spacecraft. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the words of aliens. If they want to learn the skills of aliens, the words will definitely be a hindrance.
Although aliens can speak Chinese, the same thing is said: the initiative must be in their own hands, so alien language must be learned.
There is a good news, that is, through their observations, they found that the alien technology trees seem to be very similar to those of humans, and are not the strange "alien technology trees" in science fiction movies. This should be more friendly to human learners.
The astronauts who came this time accounted for half of the "combatants", and the scientific research and engineering personnel were geology and machinery, so they had no say in the alien environment, biology, chemistry and other things. The Earth was screening problems, and then they came directly to ask them to ask the aliens.
At the same time, the ground was also holding a meeting to discuss whether to ask Tang Chao to bring the aliens back quickly, rather than on Mars.
Although Tang Chao had previously said why he stayed on Mars, some people said that it was nothing. After bringing the aliens back, they went straight to the research institute. They only met scientists and engineers, and no one could disturb them.
As long as the aliens are brought back, human behavior will be much more convenient, and the information will not be delayed and some key academic information will not be conveyed by laymen.
People on Earth obviously thought a lot about this matter, and they were very thoughtful. Tang Chao did not comment on these matters, but he also had his own plans, so it was impossible to go back so quickly.
So he agreed.
But in the end, I have to ask about the aliens' opinions.
If both sides really fight and Tang Chao kills or captures these four aliens, then he will naturally have the final say on what to do.
But now that the two sides have not fought and have had a smooth exchange, humans have to consider normal diplomatic relations.
It is also the diplomatic relationship between overall human civilization and alien civilization.
The key is Mars. Although Mars is the planet of the solar system, Mars does not belong to humans. According to the "first come first served", aliens landed on Mars earlier than humans.

Therefore, if you want to move the aliens, you must discuss with the aliens.
The busy day passed, and the next day, Tang Chao and others had just arrived at the alien camp, and the aliens gave them a big gift.
"I heard that you are looking for a suitable base construction site. We have conducted sufficient exploration of the surrounding areas during this period. I think this resource marking map can help you."
As he said that, Linus handed a tablet computer to Tang Chao, with resource marking information within 500 kilometers around him.
The others were thinking blankly: "Good guy, is it really an alien? Is it really a win-win cooperation?"
