The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 177 Life on Mars
The wind on Mars is very strong, which has a lot to do with the temperature difference between day and night on Mars.

Because Mars' carbon dioxide atmosphere cannot retain heat, Mars can reach more than 20 degrees during the day, and it will drop below minus 70 degrees Celsius at night.

Not only that, but the atmosphere of Mars cannot block harmful radiation such as ultraviolet rays, so Mars is a planet with high radiation.

In order to cope with the harsh environment of Mars, three base modules were delivered to Mars before the spacecraft was launched.

The base cabin is roughly semicircular in shape, and looks like a large steamed bun of the same diameter placed on a huge short cylinder.

Connect the three base cabins together to form an activity area of ​​thousands of square meters.

Before moving in, a large number of solar panels must be stretched out, and only with energy can a small environment suitable for astronauts live in be created.

These steps seem simple, but the result is twice the result with half the effort in the state of wearing the Martian suit. The five people worked hard for more than ten hours before they lived in the human nest on Mars.

After a day's rest, everyone started to build a greenhouse for crops.

Seeds and water have also been delivered a long time ago. Although more and more evidence shows that there is liquid water on Mars, we only know that they are most likely underground, and no one knows exactly where.

Therefore, the liquid water used on Mars still has to be delivered from the earth.

It took the five people more than half a month to set up the greenhouse.

Most of the vegetables and fruits are grown in the greenhouse. After eating space food for three months, they really hope to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables.

After the five astronauts settled down on Mars, they sent a video back to Earth.

Because there is still a signal delay between Mars and the earth, it is impossible to make a video call, so the only way to send video is to send image data to the earth.

In the video, Mi Jingtao introduced the base where they lived.

From the bedroom to the lounge, to the activity room, as well as the small gym and laboratory, I introduced them one by one.

Theodore introduced the greenhouses built on Mars, and explained to everyone that these facilities are semi-permanent facilities, and they can still be used for subsequent Mars missions.

Peshkov explained to everyone some common sense on Mars that is different from that on Earth. For example, the gravity here is only 40% of that on Earth.

In order to let everyone understand better, he lifted the solar energy equipment weighing more than 100 kilograms effortlessly.

Rolf drove the Mars rover for a while, letting everyone experience the solemn landscape on Mars.

While driving, he introduced: "The Mars rover has a total of six wheels, much faster than the lunar rover back then.

"There are no traffic lights, no traffic police tickets, and you don't even need a driver's license to drive around here.

"However, for the sake of safety, I still suggest that everyone take the Mars driver's license test, hahaha!"

You Haoming was in charge of introducing their Martian suits. This was originally Boer's job, but now You Haoming had to do it for him.

Spacesuits in space are very heavy, and the portable life support system alone weighs more than 20 kilograms. It’s okay in the weightless space or the moon with very little gravity, but it is definitely a burden on Mars with a certain gravity.

The staff team of Lunar City also thoughtfully developed a Martian suit for the astronauts.

Because the conditions of Mars are much safer than those of space and the moon, the complex structure of some spacesuits can be simplified.

This makes the Martian suit lighter, thinner and more flexible, with a total weight of only 20 kilograms. Once it offsets the 0.4 gravity of Mars, it is almost like wearing a thick suit.

In the end, You Haoming said: "This is Mars Village, there is no country and no politics here.

"I think that anyone who sets foot on Mars will have an essential psychological change. We already have two planets, and we are no longer just a frog in a well on the earth!

"From this moment on, human beings are no longer the people of the earth, but the people of the solar system.

"In the future, we will still be galactic and cosmic people!"

……

The weather is getting warmer, and it is Jiang Yu's favorite season to wear trench coats.

The car slowly drove into the new nuclear energy research base. Although the experiment was over, there were more people entering and leaving the base.

There are six nuclear test bases like this in the world, and only here has achieved great results.

Because this is an international cooperation project, other nuclear test bases can come to learn or learn, and preparations for the next application experiment have already begun.

Jiang Yu adjusted the collar of his windbreaker and got out of the car. The appearance of the Wallfacer attracted the attention of many people.

But it was just to pay attention, after all, they came here with their own purposes, and they didn't have time to admire the demeanor of the Wallfacers.

Jiang Yu strode towards the dormitory building and knocked on the door of Yang Dong's room. Most of the items in the room had been packed, especially the books that were full of the room before, packed into several boxes.

On the table in front of the window, there is a cup of hot coffee and an open book.

Apparently Yang Dong was still sitting by the window reading a book while he was waiting just now.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

The nuclear fusion experiment has been over for about a month, until the video sent back from Mars immediately gave birth to a wave of people exploring space.

The second goal of "Project Zero" was basically achieved, so Jiang Yu came to the experimental base to pick up Yang Dong.

Yang Dong smiled while making coffee for Jiang Yu: "It's okay, you also have your job."

Jiang Yu took a sip of coffee: "Have you decided where to go for your honeymoon?"

Yang Dong shook his head: "After I plan to get married, I will hibernate immediately."

Jiang Yu took her hand: "Marriage is not a program, not a mathematical symbol, but more like an attitude towards life."

He laughed and said: "This is not a task that you must complete in your life, after all, not getting married will not delay the love between two people.

"Getting married means that you are willing to protect each other with another person who has no blood relationship in your next life, and it will also open up another way to enjoy life."

Yang Dong smiled and shook his head: "Then tell me, where are you going to spend your honeymoon?"

"Listen to my arrangement after you get married," Jiang Yu said, "I will give you a surprise then."

While talking, he drank the last sip of coffee: "Okay, it's time for us to set off."

Jiang Yu took Yang Dong to his villa, and after a short rest, he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.

They had already discussed on the phone that the wedding would not be held, but they still had to treat men, women and children to a meal in Qijiatun first.

Go back to Jiang Yu's hometown to entertain relatives and friends, and let everyone be happy.

In Qijiatun, Aunt Dafeng saw Jiang Yu holding Yang Dong's hand, shuttling between the banquets to toast, she was so happy that she secretly wiped her tears several times.

On the other side of Jiang Yu's hometown, many important people came to congratulate him, which made the whole Jiang family feel quite honored.

After the banquet, Jiang Yu and Yang Dong stayed at home for a period of time, making up for the family happiness their parents expected.
