I was exposed for mining on Mars

Although Luo Xiu needed to mine manually, with the blessing of the exoskeleton, Luo Xiu did not expend too much effort.

"After the automatic mining machine is developed, the construction of transportation equipment must also keep up."

Luo Xiu, who had dragged a cart of ore that had been dug out of the mine, glanced at the Zhu Rong Hao, which he used as a tow truck, and whispered.

Although the Zhurong is now barely able to serve as a transport, Luo Xiu has more than one mine in operation, so Luo Xiu's men need to transport a lot of things. And when the automatic mining machine starts to operate, not to mention one Zhuronghao, even ten Zhuronghao will not be able to be transported.

However, although the resources consumed by the transportation conveyor belt are small, they cannot withstand the large number. The number of conveyor belts required to transport mineral deposits from various locations to the smelting furnace at the base is absolutely astronomical.

And more importantly, the climate of Mars is not very good. The surface temperature is below minus 55 degrees all year round, and there are sandstorms from time to time. In such an external environment, Luo Xiu also needs more maintenance robots to participate in conveyor belt maintenance.

But this would involve making new power units and building a new manufacturing plant.

Along the way, it would be impossible for Luo Xiu to completely build his Mars base in less than three to five months.

"And water."

Compared with various mineral deposits, Luo Xiu pays more attention to water and oxygen. These two are the necessities for Luo Xiu to stay on Mars for a long time.

Luo Xiu was already looking for water when he accidentally borrowed the power of a black hole to jump and lost half of his spaceship and fell to Mars.

According to Luo Xiu's information, there is an ice layer under the surface of Mars, and the distance between the ice layer and the surface should not be too far, most of which are about five meters.

But Luo Xiu's luck didn't seem to be very good. In the area where his spacecraft crashed, no ice was found under the surface even after half a month of searching.

Water is a vital survival resource for any life on Blue Star. Without water, it would be impossible for Luo Xiu and him to establish a base on Mars and rebuild the spacecraft.

Although the remaining half of Luo Xiu's spaceship still has enough water for Luo Xiu to survive for half a year, in addition to survival, various industries also need water resources.

Another item of oxygen, which is extremely important to Luo Xiu, also needs to be dissolved and electrolyzed to obtain it.

"Zizz, sizzle."

Just when Luo Xiu was thinking about when the ice layer could be unearthed, the sound of electric current came from the headset of his helmet.

After hearing the sound of electric current, Luo Xiu slowly walked to a higher place, faced the base, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Under Luo Xiu's questioning, the voice that had appeared in the base just now sounded again, saying in Luo Xiu's headset: "Your Excellency, maintenance robot No. 13 has discovered associated gold in Copper Mine No. 2."

"Gold? This is good stuff."

After hearing the sound of the base system, Luo Xiu felt a little more excited.

Although in the eyes of most people, gold basically appears as a monetary attribute. But in addition to being currency and a store of value, it also plays an extremely important role in industrial applications.

Extremely high corrosion resistance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and almost 100% reflection of infrared rays

Precisely because gold has so many excellent properties, it is extremely important for the base construction after Luo Xiu.

"Your Excellency, in addition to the associated gold found in Copper Mine No. 2, maintenance robot No. 26 also discovered underground ice 7 kilometers away, but there is about 7 meters of sediment on the ice."

"good!"

After Luo Xiu heard that in addition to gold, underground ice was discovered today, he raised his hand and made a fist.

‘The Martian seemed very excited. Did he discover something? ’

The scene of Luo Xiu pumping his fist just now was filmed by the Zhurong behind him and sent back to Blue Star.

‘Actually, they don’t have to be Martians. Looking at that spacecraft, it might be a Mercury person, a Neptunian person, or even a creature from outside the solar system. ’

‘Actually, I think, judging from his appearance, could he be the existence of the legendary prehistoric civilization on Earth? You went to Mars to take refuge when Blue Star suffered a devastating blow, and now you want to come back? ’

‘Your imagination is really too big, can’t you just watch it carefully? Are these things you can consider? ’

Regarding Luo Xiu's true identity, there are still different opinions on Blue Star. However, although Luo Xiu's exoskeleton is almost the same as a human's appearance, most Blue Star people are still willing to define it as an alien.

After all, the Blue Star people can only throw probes to Mars even now. Even on the moon closest to Blue Star, they do not have the ability to build a base.

And just when the Blue Star live broadcast barrage showed the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, Luo Xiu walked down from the height after shaking his fist, came to the side of Zhu Rong Hao in a few steps, took a picture of Zhu Rong Hao's camera, and said: "Let's go ,gone back."

Although the automatic mining machine does not need much ore, compared to the crucial discovery of the ice layer, Luo Xiu still wants to see the location of the ice layer first.

Anyway, besides Luo Xiu, there are other maintenance robots mining, but they are in different locations.

‘Why didn’t he dig it? I just dug two cars today. ’

‘Are there days off on Mars? he is off from get off work? ’

‘What are you talking about here? Judging from his performance just now, there must be some discovery or progress. Maybe he has decided to invade our Blue Star. ’

"Invading our Blue Star, what you said makes me a little scared."

People on Blue Star who are watching the live broadcast pay great attention to the changes in Mars. After all, the distance between the two parties may be considered short, but they are tens of millions of kilometers away; if it is said far, they are in the same star system.

Under such circumstances, anything could happen.

Although this alien creature on Mars does not seem to have many companions at this time, and the Tianwen satellite currently over Mars has not found any trace of other creatures, who knows if there are any other hidden bases on Mars.

However, compared to the random speculation on the Internet, at the China Aerospace Center, Cao Guolin and his colleagues were analyzing what Luo Xiu's actions meant.

"Maybe there is some breakthrough in his base? Maybe it's technology? Maybe there's some discovery?" Everyone really didn't know much about this alien creature on Mars, and they could only rely on their own imagination to analyze and judge.

Of course, their judgment is still more scientific than the nonsense on the Internet.
