Minke's black technology

Chapter 431 Mars Ruins
The rover has a very large space, much more spacious than two 120-square-meter houses, and it is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower space is mainly used for storing materials, and the upper part is where people live.

On the whole, the Mars rover is more than twice the size of the vehicle in "The Wandering Earth". It uses super battery capacitors to provide energy, and the body is covered with solar panels to supplement energy.

If there is no power, you can stop and enjoy the sun to replenish energy at any time. Anyway, the most important thing for travel friends is time, and you can set up camp wherever you go.

The speed of the car is very fast. If you encounter difficult terrain, you can fly tens of meters in the air and leap over it. It is a large vehicle that can be used both on land and in air.

Li Maoye knows without researching that this car uses a super electric propulsion engine. Although this engine is not used to fly in order to save energy, the electric propulsion engine can also play a role during driving.

At least with the electric propulsion engine as the power, the limit speed of the Mars rover can easily reach 200 kilometers per second, and then maintain this speed to soar on the empty surface of Mars.

In fact, after entering the mountainous area, the Mars rover can also fly a few meters above the ground in energy-saving mode, and its speed can reach about [-] kilometers. if.

Because of this, many donkey friends have bought this inexpensive Mars rover to go on a donkey trip. The maintenance of this thing is much simpler than that of the firefly spacecraft.

Just open the repair module to cast four repair robots, and then wait for these little guys to move on their own. If even they can't be repaired, then the car should be sent to scrap.

If the rover is really out of energy, just stop to bask in the sun, or simply stop and not go anywhere, relying on the communication equipment in the car to send out a distress signal.

Travelers only need to wait patiently for rescue. Because of this, the death rate and disappearance rate of Martian travel friends have been greatly reduced.

"I didn't expect such a good means of transportation on Mars!" Zhao Baibing couldn't help studying the various functions of his car, and was soon attracted by this convenient Mars rover.

Even though he already has his own firefly spaceship, he decides to buy one to play with when he goes back, so that he can travel around.

When he said this idea, Qin Hua who was next to him immediately laughed, "Mars rover can only be used on Mars, if you want to use it on Blue Star, I'm afraid all kinds of performance will have to be greatly reduced! Others Not to mention, the flight speed and battery life must be reduced by at least half!"

However, Li Maoye shook his head and emphasized: "Of course the Mars rover cannot be used outside of Mars. Many of its features are designed according to the Martian environment. Unless you want to settle on Mars, there is no place to use this kind of rover when you buy it back."

"Huh? Why! Oh, I see!"

Zhao Baibing thought about it carefully, and immediately understood that since the gravity of Mars is much smaller than that of Blue Star, it is not surprising that there is such a big gap. It seems that the reason why this kind of car is called "Mars Rover" is worthy of the name.

In fact, this kind of land-air dual-purpose vehicle is also common on Blue Star, but according to the relevant regulations of the Meow Star Group, the civilian super electric propulsion engine is much weaker than the space version, so it cannot be as powerful as the Mars rover. As long as the energy is sufficient, it can fly at high speed all the time.

The land-air dual-purpose vehicle on the Blue Star is not only much smaller, similar to a car, but its flight speed and battery life are also not as good as the Mars rover.

Because the rover uses a space electric propulsion engine, both performance and power are stronger than the civilian version. If it can be replaced with a nuclear power reactor, it can even be used as a small aircraft.

The people from the Meow Star Laboratory came out for a donkey trip, of course they brought enough energy and supplies. Among them, there are several small cold nuclear fusion reactors, all of which are energy devices the size of a suitcase, connected to the energy module of the Mars rover. The flight mode can be turned on directly with or without the sun.

In addition to the almost unlimited energy supply, they also brought a team of M-series robot bodyguards, and each car was followed by an angel nanny, so there is no need to worry about safety and food.

"If we are really in danger, we can also turn on the nano-space armor. The lethality and defense of this new type of armor are comparable to that of an owl. Not only can it fly freely in space, but it can also launch lasers to attack the enemy!"

The laser Li Maoye mentioned is actually a laser cannon, which has a certain number of shots, but its power is amazing!

This approach can be regarded as a precautionary measure, but the relevant security measures are not needed, because there is a special force quietly following them where no one can see, this is the person sent by the relevant department to protect the bald man.

In fact, as early as when Li Maoye said that he would go to Mars, the rabbit had already arranged personnel to prevent accidents. They were extremely worried that the bald boss would quietly make a big deal like last time.

The last time Li Maoye came on a trip that he said he would leave, he kicked off the matter that the rabbit had obtained the anti-gravity engine technology. Fortunately, the relevant departments responded quickly at that time, and the rabbit had already made relevant preparations, so he did not let him go. Things got out of hand.

Although the people from the Meow Star Laboratory did not travel in violation of the regulations this time, but Li Maoye was in the team, even after the relevant application was passed, the relevant departments did not dare to take it lightly.

Then this special force followed for several days and found that these people really wandered aimlessly, just like ordinary Martian donkeys who went to various scenic spots to check in as souvenirs.

What "Marine Canyon", "Oripas Mountain", "Tarsis Plateau", "Mount Abbas", "Mount Escalels" and so on have all been visited. Anyway, they not only have sufficient supplies And energy, as well as the most detailed Mars map information, you can formulate travel routes arbitrarily.

"Are they really here for a trip?" The people in the relevant departments were surprised.

According to their understanding of the bald guy, this guy is like a thousand-year-old bastard, who often stays in the nest and does not move. Once he comes out and wanders around, something must happen.

"No matter what, we still have to ensure his safety!" The leader of the relevant department ordered.

In this way, almost a month has passed, and the people in the Meow Star Lab have finished shopping the places they should go, and enjoyed the strange scenery all over Mars. It can be regarded as experiencing a very special group activity, leaving joy in life memory.

When everyone was planning to return to Chishui City, Li Maoye suddenly suggested: "Let's go to this place again!"

The place he was talking about was a certain shield-shaped volcano on the Tarsis Plateau. On this 14-kilometer-high and 6500-kilometer-wide plateau, there are a total of five such large shield-shaped volcano remains.

It also includes Mount Oripas, the highest in the solar system, which is 27 kilometers long and 600 kilometers wide. The remaining volcanic remains are not small, and it is the largest volcano in the solar system in terms of volume.

"Oripas Mountain?" Zhao Baibing couldn't help asking strangely after seeing the specific coordinates: "Haven't we just been there before? There are only huge volcanic remains there, and there is nothing else to see !"

Li Maoye tapped lightly on the holographic map, "Listen to me, go to this place again!"

Now that the boss said it like this, the others didn't have any opinions. They used the communication equipment on the car to communicate with other Mars rovers, and then turned around and continued to fly over.

Since they have been there once and the road conditions are relatively familiar, they flew over Mount Oripas in a short time, but the volcanic remains are very huge, like a huge shield covering the surface.

"Lower the rover!" Li Maoye ordered.

The intelligent system on the car immediately executed the command, directly landed somewhere on the mountain, then stopped the electric propulsion engine, and landed steadily on the ground.

Everyone didn't understand what Li Maoye was going to do, so they all looked over, wanting to see what the boss had planned next.

Under the strange eyes of others, Li Maoye put on the nano-aerospace armor, left through the decompression chamber of the rover, and jumped outside the rover.

The others also hurriedly followed, all of them had nano-space armor, and they went outside to enjoy the scenery many times when they were walking, so they didn't find this volcanic scenery surprising.

It’s not the same as the volcanoes on the Blue Star. Apart from the relatively low gravity that allows the volcanoes to grow very tall, there is also a lack of obvious plate movement, making the distribution of volcanoes mainly dominated by hot spots, unlike the structure of the Blue Star that has a ring of fire. .

To put it simply, if the volcanoes on Blue Star are cone-shaped, then the volcanoes on Mars are yurt-shaped, so huge shield-shaped volcanoes can appear on the surface of Mars.

Li Maoye looked at the system screen in front of him with both eyes, and walked back and forth on the surface of the volcano for a certain distance. This Martian volcano was formed tens of millions of years ago, and it has already lost heat, so the surface temperature is not high, even in the mountains. The lava has cooled and solidified long ago.

"It should be here..." Li Maoye muttered to himself.

He brought the team to Mars not on a whim, but a decision made after careful consideration. As early as a few years ago, after arriving on Mars for the first time, he judged through the system that there was life on Mars, and it was still quite prosperous.

It's just that at that time he couldn't judge whether life on Mars still existed, and to what extent these lives had developed, and what happened to them would make Mars become what it is today.

However, after several years of great development on Mars, a large number of humans have entered Mars colonization, and Li Maoye has collected more and more information. After all, as long as there are intelligent machines, intelligent networks can cover them.

As early as two years ago, the three sisters reported to him that they found traces of suspected intelligent life on Mars, and such traces are all over the entire Mars, but they are all covered by volcanoes, and they have experienced tens of millions of years. years of erosion, making it difficult to re-excavate them.

"They are not like dinosaur fossils, which can be preserved in the natural environment, but they are integrated with the surface of Mars and eventually turn into red iron oxide!" Emily explained.

Hearing such a statement, Li Maoye couldn't help being moved: "You mean, there used to be a highly civilized intelligent race on Mars, and built a huge steel city on Mars?"

The three sisters nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!"

Tens of millions of years of time erosion are enough to make these steels disappear. If human beings meet the same fate one day, I am afraid that it will take less than a million years for Blue Star to erase all traces of human beings. In the end, only Fossils of human bones.

Other high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete may not last a thousand years, let alone tens of millions of years!

After the prosperity of Martian travel friends, human beings know more and more about Mars, but others still haven't discovered that there used to be a civilization not weaker than human beings under their feet.

However, Li Maoye agrees with the judgment of the three sisters more and more, especially when a certain donkey friend came to the Oripas Mountain donkey tour, he once found traces of the suspected Martian civilization here, but the donkey friend was unable to identify these traces. Let the intelligent network feed back the information to the three sisters.

After learning more detailed content, Li Maoye judged that the Martian civilization existed on the Tarsis Plateau, and the five large shield volcanoes are likely to be cities of prehistoric civilization on Mars.

This time I led the team to Mars for a donkey trip. On the one hand, I wanted to let my colleagues in the laboratory relax, and on the other hand, I was looking for more evidence in various places on Mars.

After the deduction and judgment of the CVI system, there is a 90.00% probability that Mount Oripas is buried with a city. As long as he can prove this, then the relevant departments will definitely find a way to dig out the city.

"The volcano destroyed these cities, but it also protected them from the erosion of time!" Li Maoye firmly believed.

Others looked at it without knowing why, thinking that the boss was expressing his feelings, but they didn't know what the words meant. Could it be that they were lamenting the hardships of human civilization?

Before they could figure it out, Li Maoye commanded the intelligent robots that got off the car to dig down at the designated place with digging tools. Judging by his energy, he was similar to the way an oil tycoon dug for oil in the 19th century.

With the help of high-tech digging tools, the intelligent robot quickly dug out a wide deep pit, but found nothing, only found some lava mud that is common on Mars.

"Boss, are you looking for treasure?" Zhao Baibing couldn't help asking.

"That's right, I'm looking for the treasure of civilization!" Li Maoye told the others his guess, and explained: "These five volcanoes are located so regularly! Therefore, I suspect that there must be a city of Martian civilization buried underneath!"

After careful study by Zhao Baibing, Qin Hua and others, they found that there is something wrong with these volcanoes. The distance between their centers is very small, and they can almost be regarded as an equilateral pentagon, or as the five vertices of a five-pointed star. !

Knowing that they were likely to make history and discovered the first alien city in human history, everyone immediately became excited, and all jumped into the pit to help dig, leaving Li Maoye standing on it alone to watch.

However, after digging to a depth of 50 meters, we still found nothing.

So they planned to give up digging and go back to make more thorough preparations so that when they came back to continue digging, someone suddenly shouted:
"I found it, I found it!"
