"It's so shocking. I never thought that Mars would look like this."

"Even though I have imagined it countless times, when I actually see it, I still feel like crying."

"Okay, okay, stop being sensational, this is where we will live for the next many months, even years."

Someone next to me said jokingly.

"Sooner or later you'll get tired of watching it."

The color of the Martian surface ranges from dark brown to bright orange-red, and even light green grasslands. These colors are composed of materials on the Martian surface, including iron, iron oxide, sulfur, water, and more. These materials interact with Mars' atmospheric environment to produce a variety of strange colors.

The landscape of this planet is very complex and varied. Some places are towering mountains, some are vast plains, and some are steep canyons and cliffs. These terrains have been weathered and eroded over millions of years, taking on various shapes and colors.

"This Mars has been baptized by solar storms for countless years before it looks like what it is today. It's really difficult..."

"This picture will be broadcast around the world and people all over the world can witness it. It's great."

Shen He said to himself, a little proud.

This time, the Tianque Group, which is mainly composed of people from the Dragon Kingdom, has reached the forefront of the world.

"Check the air circulation system, and the 3D printing device."

Shen He ordered to the security officers next to him.

"Yes!"

The security officers around became excited and began to turn on various mechanical switches and observe the lighting status of the lights above.

"Report, there is no problem, the water and oxygen extractor is working normally, and it can extract water and oxygen from the atmosphere or soil at any time..." said a safety officer.

"There is no problem with the 3D printing device..." another safety officer echoed.

Hearing this, Shen He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Whether it is a 3D consent device or an air circulation system, it is their lifeline.

The air circulation system ensures the survival of astronauts like them.

The 3D printing device is also extremely important for manufacturing parts for repair and replacement equipment, as well as building buildings and facilities for the Mars base.

In this land where resources and equipment are scarce, 3D printing devices play a decisive role.

Although the 3D printing device is somewhat inferior in terms of efficiency and resource utilization, its fault tolerance rate is definitely first-rate.

Once any equipment breaks down, you can use a 3D printing device to quickly create an exact replica, as long as you have the raw materials.

Even if the raw materials are wrong, the copied device can still be used reluctantly. This is its power.

It can be called a panacea for walking.

“Start installing solar photovoltaic panels.”

Shen He's stern face continued to give orders.

Don’t make a mistake in any step.

After giving the order, the astronauts began to remove the photovoltaic panels from the rocket and carefully transported them to the surface of Mars. They installed these huge solar panels on a flat surface and then connected them to detectors and mining equipment.

"Be careful, be careful..."

The voice of a middle-aged uncle echoed on the radio. He was a middle-aged astronaut.

"I know, don't worry, I know how to play this thing better than you." The younger astronaut said.

Those who can come here are all elites and are naturally good at cooperating.

As the panels are gradually connected, rays of light shine through these shining panels on the wasteland of Mars.

These boards are like metal blades, shining under the scorching sun. The astronauts are sincerely happy that their efforts have finally paid off. The mining equipment on Mars will have sufficient power support to perform their work better.

Looking at these photovoltaic panels, the astronauts felt a deep respect. These boards are the pinnacle of human technology, and they provide a solid guarantee for human exploration on this strange planet.

These photovoltaic panels will ensure that they always have power, instead of just relying on the hundreds of Ark reactors in the rocket.

One-third has been consumed on the way here, and one-third is reserved for the return trip.

In other words, they can only consume up to one-third of the remaining energy.

The bulk of other energy sources still have to come from photovoltaic power generation devices.

An astronaut in charge of debugging the machine came to Shen He's side and said softly: "Report, the photovoltaic power generation device has been installed."

"How was the debugging?"

Shen He asked.

"After testing, everything is qualified, and the photoelectric conversion rate is within the expected 20%."

After the inspector was waiting, a female consultant wearing a space suit spoke slowly.

Her name is Xu Li. She was originally the daughter of the chairman of a domestic airline company. She had a dream of becoming an astronaut since she was a child.

It was Wang Hua who gave her such an opportunity. She cherished it very much. She also worked very hard and performed very well in various training courses.

"Okay, even if it's only 20%, it'll be enough if we save a little." Shen He nodded.

There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration when building photovoltaic power generation devices on Mars.

For example, the intensity and duration of sunlight on Mars, the thickness and composition of the atmosphere, and the spectral distribution of solar radiation, etc. Therefore, determining the qualification standards for photoelectric conversion efficiency needs to consider these factors, as well as the development level of photovoltaic cell technology.

The photoelectric conversion rate of commercialized silicon-based photovoltaic cells is currently between 15% and 20%, while advanced solar cells have achieved photoelectric conversion rates of more than 40%.

But under Martian conditions, the photoelectric conversion rates of these photovoltaic cells may be limited. Because the intensity of solar radiation on the surface of Mars is about half that of the surface of the Earth, and the atmosphere of Mars is thin, unlike the Earth's atmosphere that can filter out part of the ultraviolet and infrared rays.

"Don't be depressed. The photoelectric conversion rate remains at 20% today, but that doesn't mean it will still be at 20% tomorrow." Shen He's eyes were like a sharp sword that could penetrate people's hearts.

Xu Li's thoughts were immediately seen by Shen He.

"Well, you are right. Technology is constantly improving. Even if it is at this level today, it may not be the case tomorrow. There may even be great technological changes in the next second."

"That's what I mean. In the field of photovoltaic power generation devices, I have applied for special funds from Mr. Wang Hua. It is estimated that it will not be long before transformative events occur."

Shen He said calmly, with worship and admiration in his voice.

Wang Hua, now the richest man in the world, is someone he has never understood.

He owns tens of thousands of dollars in assets, creates wealth and value far beyond his own, and can even make breakthroughs in some fields that have nothing to do with the industries he is involved in.

Shen He has studied Wang Hua and once believed that Wang Hua might be the spokesperson of alien civilization placed in human civilization.

Because his behavioral trajectory is beyond common sense and cannot be treated by common sense.

According to basic logic, a person's experience is always limited, but according to what Shen He learned about Wang Hua, he has reached a level beyond human reach in swimming, racing, and calligraphy. He belongs to the kind of person who has been immersed in a world for decades. Even the leading figures in the field cannot reach this level.

At the same time, Wang Hua has made the biggest breakthroughs in human history in quantum physics and energy batteries.

The creation of devices such as controllable nuclear fusion has brought many scientific and technological theories to fruition. Therefore, Shen He did not believe that Wang Hua was just an ordinary person who must have a profound background that was beyond common sense.

Either he is the spokesperson of an advanced civilization in the universe, or he has opportunities beyond human imagination, such as obtaining information about prehistoric civilizations, etc.

"Really!" An excited look appeared on Xu Li's face.

"Well, I have communicated with Mr. Wang Hua. According to him, as long as the first step of resource extraction on Mars goes smoothly, greater financial support and technical assistance will continue..."

"That's great. Our current equipment is too crude. If we continue to mine at the current efficiency, it will take hundreds of years to complete the entire mining of Mars." Xu Li sighed helplessly, road.

Shen He didn't speak. As the person in charge of technology, he knew it too well.

However, he has no worries in this regard. Technology must be developing faster and faster. It is a kind of rapid growth that is more terrifying than exponential growth. It is similar to the chain reaction in the nuclear field, which reproduces at an extremely fast speed.

"Okay, you can go back and rest now. We still have a lot of work to do next."

Shen He said something to Xu Li.

"Ok!"

Xu Li nodded and returned to her space capsule.

Regarding personal privacy, space deployment is very good. Each astronaut has his own small room.

And all the devices inside are encrypted. After all, who doesn’t have some little secrets?

Moreover, exploring the space of Mars will give you a quieter and more peaceful feeling in your heart.

Because on earth, when you do certain things, you may be disturbed, or even some clues may expose some of your scandals, or even become infamous.

But this is absolutely not the case on Mars, where there are almost no humans.

The only living thing is yourself.

You can do whatever you want with these mechanical instruments, and you can waste your time as much as you want. Of course, this is based on completing the task.

After Xu Li returned to the room, she sat quietly on a solid wood chair.

The space simulation room is a very good setting, and many astronauts have set their rooms to this mode.

Even if it is a long-term space travel, you can still maintain the habits of being on Earth. After living on Mars for a few years, you will not be very uncomfortable coming to Earth, and you may even be eager to enter space to relieve your anxiety and uneasiness.

Of course, not everyone likes the feeling of gravity on the earth, and some people just love the weightless feeling of separation during space navigation.

Xu Li opened the laptop she bought on Earth.

An aluminum alloy notebook is placed on the desktop, with a silvery cold light on it. It is extremely lightweight, has battery life and productivity. It was a very capable generation at the time.

Even today, the simplicity of its design aesthetic is still first-rate.

Xu Li opened her laptop and opened a photo album that had been dusty for a long time.

Inside the album is a photo of a boy and a girl.

The boy is sunny and handsome, wearing a jacket, and the girl is wearing a short skirt, with long hair reaching her waist. They look like a handsome man and woman.

Looking at this photo, Xu Li's memory seems to have returned to the past.

In an artificial lake in the imperial capital, there was a huge fountain erupting water mist continuously, surrounded by green buildings, and the girl was lying in the boy's arms.

All the beautiful scenery is so peaceful and pleasant.

"Are you sure, do you really want to join the space program?"

The boy sighed. He and Xu Li have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and he knew Xu Li's character very well.

"I'm sure, but I still can't let you go."

A dim light flashed in Xu Li's eyes. She struggled a lot, but she still couldn't let go of the obsession with space in her heart.

"It's okay, I support your dream, just let it go. If I don't let you go, when you become an old lady, most of you will complain about my performance at that time. It's better to let you play for a few years. ..." The boy smiled like a spring breeze.

"Thank you for understanding me so well." Xu Li's eyes flashed with gratitude.

"However, I have one condition."

The boy's eyes suddenly became serious.

"You said so."

"You live in space and exploit resources on Mars, so you must protect yourself, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, today's computers are so advanced, most experiments have been theoretically verified, and there will be no problems." Xu Li said with a smile.

The boy nodded. He was also a scholar at Huaqing University. Although he was young and not very tall, he had already made some achievements in the academic world.

He is also very concerned about the development route of scientific research.

"Ding~!"

There was a soft sound in the room, which brought Xu Li's thoughts back to reality.

"Your burger is ready, please eat it as soon as possible!"

A girl's voice that looked like artificial intelligence echoed in the room, reminding Xu Li to eat.

Xu Li opened the microwave and took out the frozen burger stored inside.

This is a fast-food burger created using special preservation technology and vacuum technology, which can not only ensure the deliciousness of the food, but also can be stored in space for several years without deteriorating.

"Well, it's delicious."

Xu Li pulled gently and completely opened the package. Suddenly, a burst of hot steam overflowed, followed by a burst of fragrance.

She picked up her mobile phone and read a novel while savoring this rare delicacy in space.

The amount of food that takes up a lot of space, such as burgers, is very small. She brought a lot less things, and finally brought ten more burgers.

It can be said that if you eat one, you will lose one.

Returning to Earth again, I didn’t know it was the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

After eating, Xu Li continued to read the novel, and soon she began to feel sleepy.

I plan to get some sleep.

Xu Li lay quietly in the space capsule, the smell of burger still echoing in her mouth.

Her vision gradually became blurred from the darkness, and she gradually fell into a dream. A mysterious planet unfolded in front of her eyes.

There, she found herself in a desolate place, without a trace of life and without any sign that there had ever been a human habitation here. But she didn't feel scared, instead she felt excited about adventure.

She explored the planet and soon discovered a mysterious city inhabited by strange humans who looked somewhat similar to humans but were extremely strange. They were all pale and seemed to be troubled by some disease.

Xu Li tried to communicate with them, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not understand these human languages.

Xu Li became more and more frightened. Suddenly, she found some strange red spots appeared on her body, which made her panic.

Suddenly, a burst of flames swept across the city.

Only then did Xu Li discover that those strange humans were all made of flames.

Xu Li ran wildly on the street, but the flames burned all her clothes in an instant. The men around her looked like they were spitting fire.

At this moment, she missed her boyfriend extremely.

Endless flames burst out and flowed on the streets of the city, like lava, flowing everywhere Xu Li saw.

The terrible high temperature instantly burned Xu Li's figure to ashes.

She felt as if she was surrounded by a ball of fire, had a splitting headache, and felt weak all over.

Suddenly, light came.

The world returned to its original appearance, and the broken city was like a fragmented picture floating in time and space.

She woke up with a start, feeling hot all over her body. She felt like she had a fever.

Along with his clothes and bedding, they were all soaked with sweat.

Xu Li began to panic. She didn't know what was happening, but her physical condition did not allow her to stay here.

According to Xu Li's own guess, she either had a cold or a fever, or she might have been infected with a virus from Mars!

If it's the former, then fine, nothing will happen, but if the latter is so bad, this unknown virus cannot be solved with the crude medical equipment they brought to Mars.

She slowly got up, but fell under the bed again and passed out.

His face was full of pain, and veins were exposed on his forehead. His whole body was weak, and a heartbreaking pain spread throughout his body.
