I was exposed for mining on Mars

"Mastermind, send Zhu Rong to the nearest equator point to survey the terrain."

After Luo Xiu stood at the hydroponic farm and briefly recalled his life as a starship human, he looked up and gave the latest mission to the Zhu Rong, which was stationary beside him.

"Okay, Commander, the mission has been assigned."

At the same time as the base control system answered, the Zhu Ronghao, which had six mechanical legs curled up together just now and was in a shutdown state, suddenly opened its mechanical legs, turned around, and rushed towards the south of remembering.

From the location where the Luo Xiu spacecraft landed to the nearest equatorial point, the closest distance is only 240 kilometers.

In other words, it would only take about six hours for the Zhurong to reach the equator at full speed.

However, this survey is not just about arriving. For Luo Xiu's equatorial project, Zhurong also needs to survey the terrain at the equator and check the height of the surrounding craters in order to plan the installation location of solar panels.

The mission of the Zhurong is of course more important to Luo Xiu's equatorial project, but for the Blue Star humans who are watching the live broadcast, watching the earth again is not that fun.

However, the humans on Blue Star didn't know yet that the trip to Zhurong would take a full eight days.

During these eight days, Zhurong transmitted all the landforms of the Martian equatorial region in the southern area of ​​the Mars base back to the base control system so that it could build a landform model of the equatorial region.

After the Zhurong operated at the equator for eight consecutive days, the Blue Star humans did not see Luo Xiu's intention to transfer it back to the Mars base.

Regarding this, the Blue Star humans who watched the scenery of Mars for eight days again couldn't sit still.

'what happened? Was the Zhurong Hao really thrown away this time? ’

‘Looking at what Zhurong means, is he not planning to go back to the base at all? He’s not recharging his energy? ’

'perhaps.'

‘Wait a minute, look at the bright spot in the distance! ’

Just when the Blue Star humans were discussing whether the Zhurong had a chance to return to the Mars base, in the picture taken by the Zhurong, a blue light spot suddenly lit up in the area north of the equator of Mars.

At this time, Zhurong was in the night zone of Mars, so the sudden blue light in the dark sky was very eye-catching.

‘Come again! This one is brighter! ’

‘It seems to be getting closer? ’

Since the Zhurong was standing on the spot facing the bright light at this time, the humans on Blue Star also took this opportunity to witness the approaching light.

‘It’s that tower! ’

When the nearest blue light came on, some of the Blue Star humans watching the live broadcast of Zhurong finally reacted.

‘It turned out to be a wireless transmission device? Light prism tower? ’

This time, the Blue Star humans guessed most of them right. This bright light from far to near is lit by energy transmission towers.

When the Zhurong left the base to conduct surveys in the equatorial area, the construction in the base continued.

In eight days, the hydroponic farm had been constructed and production had begun.

And more resources are still tilted towards the production of silicon mines and solar panels, so that the base can obtain a large amount of energy in the short term.

At this time, five giant solar panels will be installed every 20 kilometers from the base to the location of the Zhurong. This is also the current transmission distance of the energy transmission tower.

When the Zhurong stopped just now, it was also the time when all the energy transmission towers started to operate.

When the last blue light lit up less than one kilometer away from the Zhurong, a blue arc suddenly appeared at the lotus-shaped transmission plate on the top of the energy transmission tower. The Zhurong, which had been loaded with long-distance receiving equipment before departure, Charging has already begun.

While the energy transmission tower was recharging the Zhurong, the humans on Blue Star had not yet reacted to the ever-increasing sight of the blue light spot approaching and enlarging.

‘Am I dazzled? I seemed to have seen a blue light coming towards the direction of the Zhurong just now. ’

‘Hey, why didn’t I see it? You must be dazzled. ’

Compared to those who saw the arc flashing, more Blue Star humans were more concerned about what Luo Xiu was going to do.

‘So many ‘light prism towers’ have been laid from the base to the Zhurong, what do the aliens want to do? Open a branch base? ’

‘No way, it seems like I’ve only seen one alien so far. Apart from the fact that he’s a robot, there’s no need to open a separate base. ’

‘Don’t guess, since the tower has been built here, the other party will definitely come back, just take a good look. ’

When the comments everywhere gradually returned to calm from being hot, the area where the Zhurong was located finally ushered in the dawn of Mars.

The dark skyline is gradually becoming brighter, so that the night sky is no longer dominated only by the blue light of the energy transmission tower.

As the sun continued to climb, when looking from the Zhurong screen to the location of the energy transmission tower, in addition to the towering energy tower, there were six suspected transport vehicles near the energy tower.

These six transport vehicles did not stay near the energy tower at this time, but were driving towards the location of the Zhurong at high speed.

As the transport truck continued to approach, the Blue Star people who received the video transmission from the Zhurong changed their subject. They were new and tired of the old and suddenly began to discuss the transport truck that had just appeared.

‘Did you go straight to Zhuronghao? ’

‘That thing that looks like a transport vehicle looks so big. With this thing, the Zhurong Hao doesn’t need to be used as a trailer, right? ’

Along with Lan Xing's discussion, the transport vehicle carrying Luo Xiu was about to arrive in front of the Zhu Rong.

As the camera device of the Zhurong got closer and closer, the shape of the transport vehicle and the cargo carried on the vehicle gradually became clearer.

Since this transport vehicle is only the preliminary equipment temporarily responsible for Mars transportation, its equipment is not very good. The dump-shaped trunk is filled with solar panel accessories. There is no cockpit, and the actions are completely controlled by the mastermind of the base.

The tracks below are also very suitable for driving on the surface of Mars. At least for now, there don't seem to be any problems.

Apart from the fact that it does not have a cockpit and is driverless, this transport vehicle does not have any high-tech features in its appearance.

But this guy was chosen by Luo Xiu because it was easy to build, fast, consumed little resources, and was sturdy. Before large-scale suspended vehicles were built, this thing could take on all the transportation work in the base.

The goods loaded on the transport vehicle were the solar panels used by Luo Xiu for the construction of the equatorial project, as well as their supports and bases.

"Kakaka..."

When the transport vehicle slowed down and stopped near the equator, a large number of general-purpose robots pulling on the transport vehicle also swarmed down, waiting to unload the solar panel accessories.
