I was exposed for mining on Mars

When the humans on the Blue Star were discussing what the 'aliens' on Mars would do with the ice they had just hauled back, Luo Xiu also happened to walk out of the manufacturing factory.

Luo Xiu, who had just walked out of the door, saw that the maintenance robot No. 26 was already dragging it over. He also rushed over and dragged a flat plate of ice into the building that Luo Xiu named the Life Factory.

Although this life factory is also called a factory, it is much smaller than the manufacturing factory next to it.

The reason why this life factory is so small is mainly because when it was built, Luo Xiu did not have many resources. However, due to the need for water, Luo Xiu still used the few resources to build this small building. factory.

Although the Life Factory is small, the internal instruments are still very complete. Most of them were moved directly from the half-ship spacecraft, so the performance of most of the instruments is very good.

But if you just dissolve ice cubes, you don't need any good equipment. But these ice cubes on Mars are not just as simple as dissolving. In addition to heating them to melt them into water, the life factory also needs to test whether they carry viruses and impurities to ensure the safety of the water source.

Although it is not clear whether life existed on Mars, this ring is essential.

After several layers of filtration, the water source still needs to be distilled before drinking water can be produced and electrolytic oxygen can be produced.

Although this operation seems a bit complicated, only one robot is needed to complete all operations.

"On the 26th, I'll leave this to you."

After the first piece of Martian ice was placed on the operating table, Luo Xiu directly gave the operation task to the No. 26 maintenance robot.

There are already two maintenance robots at the ice mining point, and this number is basically enough. If general-purpose robots are produced in the future, all maintenance robots that perform mining operations in the wild will also be replaced as soon as possible.

The No. 26 robot arranged by Luo Xiu did not reply. As a maintenance robot, it was not equipped with unnecessary equipment, such as a sound system.

So after Luo Xiu gave the order, maintenance robot No. 26 stopped pulling the flatbed truck back to the mining site, and instead started heating the ice cubes placed on the operating table.

"Phew, it finally looks good."

Luo Xiu looked at the maintenance robot No. 26 that was melting ice and let out a long sigh of relief.

When he first came to Mars, Luo Xiu basically did everything himself. First, detect the mineral deposits around the crash site of the spacecraft, and then excavate the ore.

After the ore was dug out, Luo Xiu used his exoskeleton armor to smelt the ore directly.

In such a difficult environment, Luo Xiu built the smelting plant bit by bit. After the crude smelting plant was built, Luo Xiu's work turned to mining.

This excavation lasted more than ten days. This is also the main reason why when the Zhurong landed on the surface of Mars, a figure could be seen coming out of the mine.

But now, this situation has finally been reversed, and the construction of the base will be gradually automated in the future.

Of course, Luo Xiu still has a lot of work to do before fully automating production.

"Buzz."

"laugh."

After passing through two security gates, Luo Xiu left the Life Factory and walked directly in the direction of the Zhurong.

"Zhu Rong, let's go and have a look at the copper mine."

After saying that, Luo Xiu jumped directly onto the back of the Zhurong's fuselage and sat down.

Of course, the Zhurong, which Luo Xiu regarded as his 'mount', would not think there was anything wrong with it. After Luo Xiu sat down, the Zhurong, which had long been different from when he first landed, turned its tires and drove towards the mining site of the copper mine. go.

And just when Luo Xiu was about to go to the copper mine to check the progress of the excavation, above the Blue Star, in China's United Aerospace Center, a discussion about the candidates for landing on Mars was also going on.

"Chief Engineer Cao, linguists and biologists have all been urgently selected and will be sent directly to your center for space training tomorrow."

During the meeting, a person in charge of liaison with all parties sat at the second seat and said to Cao Guolin who was in the chair.

Only a small number of Chinese researchers from China participated in this meeting, so Cao Guolin did not have too many scruples and said directly: "Well, a separate training room has been cleared for the two experts in the center, but this time After all, it is an emergency landing on Mars, so the training will be very intensive, and you have to talk to two experts first."

"Of course, these have been taken into consideration when selecting personnel. Both experts are both under forty years old and are in very good physical condition. They are also very confident about this mission."

Cao Guolin was relatively satisfied with the liaison officer's answer. As long as the experts sent here were not too squeamish, everything would be fine.

After briefly introducing the situation of the two experts, the liaison officer glanced at all the researchers in the conference room, trying to find out who Cao Guolin might name.

"General Engineer Cao, I wonder who the personnel selected by your center are?"

Cao Guolin seemed to have been waiting for the other party to ask this question. After the liaison officer finished speaking, Cao Guolin said: "It's me."

"Um?"

After hearing those two words from Cao Guolin, not only the liaison officer, but also other personnel in the conference room looked incredulous.

Gou Wen, who was sitting below Cao Guolin, said in surprise: "Old Cao, what are you talking about? Although there is certainly nothing wrong with your professional knowledge, you are already sixty-two years old and the commander-in-chief of the center. You cannot open the door." Such a joke."

"I'm not joking. I have already reported this mission and there is no objection from above. As long as I pass the physical test, I will join this mission."

When Cao Guolin said these words with a serious face, the center researchers sitting at the bottom knew that Cao Guolin was really going to do this.

"I know you are surprised, but this mission is of great significance. We need not only a researcher to ensure the safety of the mission, but also a decision-maker. Tens of millions of kilometers away, we do not have a Zhurong That signal guarantee of instant transmission.”

"How can we communicate with alien civilizations if it takes twenty or thirty minutes to contact them every time? We can't keep them waiting, right?"

After hearing what his old comrade said, Gou Wen, who was next to Cao Guolin, felt that it made sense, but he still retorted: "Even so, you don't need to go there in person, we have them too."

Cao Guolin smiled slightly, reached out and patted Gou Wen on the shoulder, and said: "Haha, Lao Gou, this mission is extraordinary and very dangerous. It is not a simple launch mission. To put it more arrogantly, this mission, Who else would it be than me?"
