"Martian Dust Storm?"

The old man frowned, and a trace of worry flashed across his face: "Sandstorm?"

Lu Yongchang saw the worry on Councillor Li's face and quickly took over the conversation with a smile.

"Mr., don't worry."

"Unlike the dust storms on Earth, Mars dust storms are an extremely common phenomenon on Mars."

"Every Martian year, hundreds of regional dust storms will occur on Mars, and these regional dust storms will form a global dust storm by chance."

"According to observational data, a global dust storm occurred on the Mars surface in 1971, which was the largest Martian dust storm ever observed."

"Conservative estimates were that the surface wind speed of Mars reached 270 km/h at that time, and the entire dust storm lasted for several months."

Councillor Li stared at Lu Yongchang in a daze, obviously scared by the string of numbers he said: "Then..."

"Zero, how fast is the wind outside now?" Lu Yongchang asked Ling with a smile.

"Professor, the wind speed is not high at present, and the surface wind speed is 124 km/h."

When the old man heard Zero's words, his eyes were a little straightened.

"Yong, Yongchang?"

"Do you care if the wind speed is high?"

The old man tried hard to search for his memory: "I remember that the wind speed was already considered a typhoon of 12, right?!" ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Lu Yongchang smiled and reached out his hand and patted the old man's skinny shoulders gently: "President, don't worry."

"This is Mars, not Earth."

"The atmosphere of Mars is thin and its density is only one percent of the atmosphere of the Earth. Although the wind speed is so fast, it is not really powerful."

Lu Yongchang's explanation dispelled the old man's concerns.

"According to the model calculation, Mars City can withstand Mars dust storms of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour." Zero's voice sounded just right, "It is basically impossible for such dust storms to appear on Mars."

Time passes by bit by bit.

The operation process of the space elevator that has slowed down has obviously become much more stable.

Before we knew it, the red scene outside the porthole quietly changed.

"Professor, we're here!"

Zero's reminder sounded.

[Seeking Wood] The cabin door of the space elevator slowly opened, and a thin layer of red Martian dust fell on the ground in front of everyone.

Lu Yongchang took the lead in unbuttoning his seat belt, stood up and walked towards Mars City.

The moment he helped the old man through the hatch and stepped on Mars dust into the city of Mars, several familiar figures appeared in front of him.

"Professor, long time no see."

Bai Yixuan stood there with a straight posture, grinning and saluting a standard military salute to the Councillor and Lu Yongchang.

"Report! The construction plan of Mars City has been successfully completed. Please give instructions from the head!"

As Bai Yixuan finished speaking, dozens of starship pilots behind Bai Yixuan raised their right hands together and saluted the scientific researchers who were walking down the elevator.

Looking at the slightly thin body of the people in front of him, the eyes of the Councillor's long eyes were slightly rosy.

He silently let go of Lu Yongchang's hand holding him, stood up as straight as possible, raised his wrinkled right hand, and bowed to everyone, "Thank you for your hard work!"

...

"Professor, do we still have a task now?"

Perhaps because he saw his "fresh" compatriots for the first time after several months, Bai Yixuan and others were obviously excited.

Looking at Hong Fan's excited look, Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“There is indeed one very important thing.”

"And you are the most suitable candidate for this matter!"

Bai Yixuan looked stern: "Professor, we are willing to accept the task!"

“…”

...

The two Xuannv II ships faced the red Martian dust all over the sky, dragging the dark blue flames at their tails and flew into the sky.

In the first Xuannv No. 2, Hong Fan sat in his position with his eyes blankly.

"Brother Fan."

Xia Wanyi's voice sounded: "When you meet Professor Lu in the future, you should stop talking."

Hearing this, Hong Fan's mouth twitched, and the light in his eyes became dimmer.

"Ah..." Bai Yixuan sighed deeply, "I'm so stupid, really."

"I should have asked the task before I could speak."

Andrew's voice came from the team's radio: "Guys, where are our first stop?"

"I can't wait to prospect on Mars!"

Hearing the sound on the radio, Hong Fan's eyes became more and more decayed.

His lips moved slightly and murmured to himself: "Why, we have to dig holes in Mars after a long time of going around?!"

...

Mount Sharp, officially named Mount Eoria.

Located in the Gael Crater on Mars.

The mountain is 5,500 meters high, and on Mars, it is considered a small hill.

Two Xuannv II starships slowly landed at the foot of Mount Sharp.

The hatch opened slowly, and six astronauts in light space suits walked out of the starship in a light footsteps.

"Captain White, why did you choose this small mound?" Andrew's inquiry came through the radio, "There are many mountains taller than it in the target location."

Bai Yixuan looked up at the "small mound" lying on the surface of Mars, and replied softly: "Because Curiosity has explored this place."

"Curiosity?!" The exclaims of Andrew and the other two were heard from the radio, "Captain Bai, are you talking about the Curiosity Mars rover launched by Nasa more than 20 years ago?"

Bai Yixuan nodded and explained while driving the rover out of the cargo hold of Xuannv II.

"In the Gael crater, Nasa discovered sediments rich in mineral salts, which shows that our location might have been a lagoon in the past."

"This provides certain conditions for the formation of ore veins."

After the words came to an end, Bai Yixuan reached out and greeted the five teammates.

"Let's go, everyone, let's go to the top of the mountain first."

...

at the same time.

Proxima Centauri.

It has been four years since Atoka was executed.

Due to the news blockade, the Proxima Centar civilization at this time still looked "quiet and peaceful".

However, in places that most Proxima Centres don’t know, the incubation center has been busy for four years.

A "lower Proxima Centre" was "made" by the incubation center.

Then, it quickly ripened in a huge glass container.

"Dear Lord Lyle, are these fast-ripening lower creatures really useful?"

In the hatching center, Ricks, dressed in gray, asked in a respectful tone to Lyle, dressed in black.

Lyle looked carefully at the data on the monitor next to him.

After seeing all the normal values ​​above, his thinking organ showed a look of pleasure.

"Of course it's useful!"

"Although they have no knowledge, their bodies are the best labor force for building starships."

"The main star is about to be extinguished, and we can only escape through a large number of starships. You should know this, right?"

Ricks hurriedly bent down slightly.

Although he is a member of the royal family, his identity is the lowest in the royal family.

"Of course, Lord Lyle." A little complicated pattern appeared on the top of Ricks' thinking organ, "but I haven't obtained the qualification to escape yet..."

"laugh!"

A strong airflow sound came from Lyle's breathing hole.

"You are the worst Ricks I've ever seen."

"But I'm in a good mood today," Lyle said arrogantly, "If you manage the hatching center, maybe I can give you a place."

Ricks hurriedly raised his forelimbs and placed them on the top of his thinking organ, expressing surrender and respect to Lyle in front of him.

“…”

The voices of the two Proxima Century gradually faded away.
Chapter completed!
