I was exposed for mining on Mars

Just as Cao Guolin thought, before China's Tianwen satellite transmitted a signal to the Mars base, Amerik, far across the ocean, had just made an attempt.

And the language used by Americus is not only Chinese. Johannine, Gaulish, and Chinese were all tried by the Americians, but their signals were like a stone in the sea, without causing even a ripple.

Luo Xiu treated all the signals sent by Blue Star equally and did not reply to them all.

Although they have the same origin as the humans on Blue Star, they are not the same place after all. Luo Xiu still needs to be more cautious when doing things.

He will not contact any force on Blue Star until his base is developed and he cannot take a leadership position in the dialogue.

Of course, it won't take too long for Luo Xiu to develop his own base. After all, the most important mining machines and two major factories have been built, and the development of the subsequent bases will skyrocket like a rocket.

So after Luo Xiu looked back at the Zhurong, he directly raised his legs and walked towards the manufacturing factory, ignoring the intermittent signals coming from Blue Star.

"He left. It seems he has no intention of contacting us."

After Luo Xiu completely disappeared from the picture returned by the Zhurong, Cao Guolin sat back down in the Huaguo Aerospace Center.

"It seems that this route of contact is unworkable. Let's speed up the research on the launch plan. Judging from the information sent back from the sea, Amerik is already selecting the crew for the launch."

America and other countries can know the situation in China's aerospace center, and China can of course know the inside story of America through various circumstances.

Before seeking contact with Mars, Cao Guolin had already learned about Americ's actions.

"Are they already selecting personnel?" Gou Wen, the leader of the information team and a former classmate of Cao Guolin, heard the news for the first time. "So soon? What kind of personnel are they planning to select?"

"I don't know about this yet, but our country, China." When Cao Guolin said this, he glanced sideways at the joint observation group in the distance, and then whispered, "I was going to give it to you later. I want to convey it. Since you are here, let’s talk about it in advance.”

"After research, we decided to send a linguist, a biologist, and a researcher from our center."

After Cao Guolin finished speaking, as a member of the research center and a comrade-in-arms of Cao Guolin for many years, Gou Wen naturally understood the significance of this personnel matching.

"Yes, this combination is very reasonable." Gou Wen nodded and continued, "We cannot participate in the selection of the first two majors, but among the staff of our center, do you have any good candidates?"

The commander-in-chief of this space center is Cao Guolin. As the chief engineer, his suggestions are of course very important.

Facing Gou Wen's question, Cao Guolin smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about it during the meeting."

When Gou Wen saw Cao Guolin like this, he knew that the other party must already have a candidate, but since his old comrade didn't tell him, he certainly wouldn't continue to ask.

After all, although this is China's aerospace center, its external name is indeed the Blue Star United Aerospace Center, so there is a large observation group, which is crowded and confusing.

On Mars, Luo Xiu, who had just walked into the manufacturing center, certainly didn't know that the Blue Star was discussing who would go to Mars where he was. At this time, he was standing on the universal robot production line, watching the maintenance robot send the iron ingots to the assembly line.

At present, since there is no large-scale laying of conveyor belts, most transmission tasks still need to be completed by robots.

Maintenance robots are too costly and more professional, so Luo Xiu is also planning to use cheaper general-purpose robots to replace the maintenance robots' current field operations.

After the production of general-purpose robots, the mining of copper ore and ice, and the transportation of ores by automatic mining machines will be left to the hands of this line of robots.

"How long does it take to produce a universal robot now?" Luo Xiu, who was standing on the production line, looked at the parts being produced in front of him and asked the base's control system through his exoskeleton helmet.

"One can be produced in an hour."

After hearing the reply from the base, Luo Xiu shook his head slightly and said, "It's too slow. Is it because the copper mine's output is insufficient?"

Of course, the production of general-purpose robots cannot entirely rely on iron ore. In addition to iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, glass and other resources must also keep up.

"Yes, Commander, the supply of copper mines is insufficient."

In the past, the manufacturing of automatic mining machines consumed almost all the copper ore in the base. Now, the copper ore used to produce general-purpose robots and the next automatic mining machine are all freshly smelted from the smelting plant.

"Okay, let's do one per hour for the time being, but after production, send them directly to the copper mine to increase the copper mine's production first."

Luo Xiu is not too worried about the temporary shortage of copper mines. Both robots and the next automatic mining machine are already in production, and the copper mine's output problem will be solved soon.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the No. 26 maintenance robot at the ice excavation site has brought back a load of Martian ice."

"Are you back already?"

After just deciding on the distribution of universal robots, Luo Xiu finally received another piece of good news.

The reason why it is said to be good news is because the water source is too important to Luo Xiu, more important than ores and technology.

Because if the ice layer was not discovered, Luo Xiu would not be able to obtain water directly from Mars, and would not be able to electrolyze oxygen.

In this way, both the development of the Mars base and the advancement of science and technology will all come to a standstill because Luo Xiu cannot survive here.

"Tell No. 26 to go directly to the Life Factory. I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Luo Xiu took another look at the three assembly lines being built at the same time in the manufacturing factory, and then walked out of the manufacturing factory.

At the same time, the No. 26 robot, which was dragging a flat plate of ice, had returned to the Mars base, and the slightly brown ice on the flat truck was completely included in the screen of the Zhurong.

And with the appearance of ice, humans on Blue Star also began to speculate about it, ‘What is that? Is it an ore? ’

‘Why do I feel like ice? ’

'ice? It's really a bit like it. The previous popular science said that Mars has ice and doesn't deceive me. ’

‘What’s this alien doing with the ice? ’

‘Upstairs, since the other party is wearing exoskeleton armor, it means it is not a silicon-based creature. If the other party is a carbon-based organism like us, water is of course necessary. And apart from survival, water also has many functions.’
