Chapter 172: 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.
Since Mars' carbon dioxide atmosphere cannot retain heat, Mars can reach more than 20 degrees during the day and drop to below minus 70 degrees Celsius at night.
Not only that, Mars' atmosphere cannot block harmful radiation such as ultraviolet rays, so Mars is a high-radiation planet.
In order to cope with the harsh environment of Mars, three base cabins were delivered to Mars before the spacecraft was launched.
The base cabin is generally semicircular, with a large steamed bun of the same diameter on a huge short cylinder.
Connecting the three base cabins together creates an activity area of thousands of square meters.
Before moving in, you must first expand a large number of solar panels. Only with energy can you create a small environment suitable for astronauts to live in.
These steps seem simple, but when wearing Mars suits, the five people worked hard for more than ten hours before they moved into the human nest on Mars.
After a day off, we started building crop greenhouses.
Seeds and water have also been delivered long ago. Although there is increasing evidence that liquid water exists on Mars, I only know that they are most likely to be underground, and no one knows where they are.
Therefore, the liquid water used on Mars must be sent from the earth.
It took the five of them half a month to build the greenhouse.
Most of the vegetables and fruits grown in the greenhouses. After eating space food for three months, they hope to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables.
After the five astronauts settled on Mars, they sent a video to the earth.
Because Mars and Earth still have signal delays, it is unlikely to have a video call. You can only send video data to the Earth by sending video recordings.
In the video, Mi Jingtao introduced the base where they lived.
From the bedroom to the lounge, to the activity room, as well as small gyms and laboratories, we introduced them one by one.
Theodore introduced the greenhouses built on Mars and explained to everyone that these facilities are semi-permanent facilities and will still be used in subsequent Mars missions.
Peshkov explained to everyone some common sense on Mars that are different from those on Earth, such as the gravity here is only 40% of that of Earth.
In order to make everyone better understand, he lifted more than 100 kilograms of solar equipment effortlessly.
Lorfo drove a rover to let everyone experience the solemn landscape on Mars.
While driving, he introduced: "The rover has six wheels in total, which is much faster than the lunar rover that year.
“There are no traffic lights here, and there are no traffic police tickets. You can drive here without even taking the driver’s license.
"But for safety reasons, I still recommend everyone to take a Mars driver's license, hahaha!"
You Haoming was responsible for introducing their Mars suits. This was originally Bohr's job, but now you have to do it.
The spacesuits in space are very bulky, and the portable life support system alone weighs more than 20 kilograms. In weightless space or the moon has very little gravity, it is nothing, but on Mars with a certain gravity, this is definitely a burden.
The clerk team of Moon City also thoughtfully developed a Mars suit for the astronauts.
Because the conditions of Mars are much safer than space and the moon, it can simplify the complex structure of some space suits.
This makes the Mars suit thinner and more flexible, with a total weight of only 20 kilograms, which is similar to the gravity of Mars 0.4, as soon as it offsets the weight of Mars, it is almost like wearing a thick dress.
Finally, You Haoming said: "This is a Mars Village, there is no country or politics here.
"I think anyone who steps on Mars will undergo essential changes psychologically. We already have two planets, and we are no longer just frogs in the well on Earth!
"From this moment, humans are no longer Earthlings, but solar system people.
"In the future, we will also be galaxy people and cosmic people!"
...
The weather is getting warmer, and it is Jiang Yu’s favorite season to wear windbreakers again.
The car slowly drove into the new nuclear energy research base. Although the experiment was over, more people were 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 testing bases can come to learn or learn from the teachings, and preparations have begun for the next application experiment.
Jiang Yu got out of the car after tidying up the windbreaker. The appearance of the wall-faced person attracted a lot of attention.
But they are just paying attention. After all, they have their own purpose when they come here and have no time to admire the style of those who face the wall.
Jiang Yu strode towards the dormitory building and knocked on Yang Dong's door. Most of the items in the room had been packed, especially the books that were originally full of the room, which contained several boxes.
On the table in front of the window, there was also a cup of hot coffee and an open book.
Obviously, while Yang Dong was waiting, he was still sitting in front of the window reading a book.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The nuclear fusion experiment has ended for about a month, until the video sent back by Mars immediately gave birth to a wave of people's exploration of space.
The second goal of the "Zero Project" was basically achieved, and 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 have your job too."
Jiang Yu took a sip of coffee: "Have you decided where to go for your honeymoon?"
Yang Dong shook his head: "I'm going to hibernate immediately after getting married."
Jiang Yu held her hand: "Marriage is not a program, not a mathematical symbol, but more like an attitude towards life."
He smiled 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 is not related to blood in your next life, and will also open up another way to enjoy life."
Yang Dong smiled and shook his head: "Then, where do you want to go for your honeymoon?"
"After getting married, please listen to my arrangements," Jiang Yu said: "I will give you a surprise at that time."
As he spoke, he finished his 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 his marriage certificate.
They had already agreed on the phone that the wedding would not be held, but they still had to invite men, women, young and old to have a meal in Qijiatun.
Then I went back to Jiang Yu's hometown to invite relatives and friends to make everyone happy.
In Qijiatun, Aunt Dafeng saw Jiang Yu holding Yang Dong's hand and toasting between the meal. She was so happy that she secretly wiped her tears several times.
And in Jiang Yu's hometown, many big names came to congratulate him, which made the Jiang family feel quite proud.
