I was exposed for mining on Mars

Chapter 47 Look, it’s a rail gun

Most of Blue Star's spacecraft have been assembled. Only Amerik was delayed for a period of time due to the explosion of the printed spacecraft. They are still in the assembly stage.

The first target of the spacecraft that has been assembled is the moon, a satellite flying around Blue Star.

The reason why the first target of spacecraft from various countries is the moon is because the Hohmann orbit transfer method is used to minimize engine startup during the process, which can relatively save more fuel.

After arriving in space, spacecraft from various countries will instantly accelerate on their original orbit and enter an elliptical transfer orbit.

The spacecraft starts from the periapsis of this elliptical orbit, reaches the apoapsis, then accelerates instantly and enters another circular orbit. Only then does it enter an orbit targeting Mars.

This method can save fuel as much as possible, thereby making more space for resources other than fuel.

What countries have to do now is to use the moon's gravity to allow the spacecraft to sail freely without starting the engine for a period of time.

"The gesture is perfect, we should be at the front."

Petrov saw the approximate positions of spacecraft from various countries through the virtual screen on the big screen.

At this time, China's spacecraft was in the first position, but the leading distance was not too much.

After Petrov finished speaking, Cao Guolin pointed to the bright spot at the end of the screen and said: "America is a little slow, but he is already on his way."

The explosion of India's spacecraft had a great impact on Amerik. They directly blocked the forward path of a resource module. It took Amerik a full two hours to allow the resource module to enter the predetermined orbit.

"If they don't speed up, they basically won't be able to catch up."

Now that various countries have shut down their engines one after another after entering the predetermined orbit, as long as Amerik does not speed up to catch up, the positions of the spacecraft will basically not change significantly.

Of course, this also depends on the initial power of the engine. If the engine is good, it may also change its position during the initial acceleration stage.

"The situation here is as it is for the time being. Let's cut out the picture of Tian Wen first."

The positions of Blue Star's major aircraft have basically been finalized, and some changes will only happen when the engines are started next time to change orbits.

Because of this, Cao Guolin is still prepared to focus on Mars first.

After all, compared to the competition among various countries, the alien civilization of Blue Star is the real highlight.

"Okay, Mr. Cao."

After hearing Cao Guolin's greeting, the information team members in front of him immediately cut the virtual screen on the big screen and pulled it back to Mars Tianwen's camera.

Since the land Luo Xiu is now covering is very large, only one Zhurong camera can no longer meet the needs of the control center.

At this time, in the northern hemisphere of Mars, various mineral deposits have been basically surveyed by Luo Xiu, and transport vehicles and automatic mining machines are also rushing to those unexploited mineral deposits.

The ice layers buried under the surface of Mars were directly mined by tons of large machinery and sent to the electrolysis factory.

"Terrifying ability to proliferate." Cao Guolin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the images from the Tianwen satellite on the big screen.

If someone had told the Blue Star people a few months ago that there would be an alien civilization on Mars that would build a complete industrial chain on Mars in just one or two months, those Blue Star humans would never believe it.

But what Luo Xiu did during this period made Blue Star humans realize how powerful a civilization that surpassed their own technology could be.

"Hey, what is this? It seems like it hasn't appeared before."

In the picture captured by the Tianwen satellite, Cao Guolin seemed to have noticed a newly constructed super-large building.

"Yes, that's right there, zoom in." Under Cao Guolin's command, members of the information team zoomed in on a blue and white building pillar and placed it in the middle of the big screen.

Cao Guolin took a closer look at the blue and white building, frowned and said: "It is completely different from the building on the equator of Mars. This does not seem to be a tower-shaped building."

"New building? Is it this big again?" While Cao Guolin was observing, Petrov also came over and said.

"It's just a base, nothing can be seen." After looking at it for a while, Cao Guolin finally couldn't figure out what this thing was used for.

But now it is impossible to see what this thing is used for, but Cao Guolin does not dare to be careless. After all, no one knows whether this alien civilization on Mars will suddenly develop a weapon.

"Lao Gou, pay more attention to this blue and white building in the next two days."

After hearing what Cao Guolin said, Gou Wen also turned around and said, "Okay, no problem."

In fact, it was not only China's Space Control Center that discovered this blue-white building, but countries with satellites on Mars also successively observed anomalies in this area.

What they discovered was the electromagnetic railgun that Luo Xiu had communicated with his base control system before.

In addition to being able to launch various resources and equipment into predetermined orbits, this electromagnetic railgun can also launch small and medium-sized spacecraft directly through it.

Of course, under normal circumstances, spacecraft will not enter the planet. They are basically docked at space ports in low-Earth orbit. In this way, a large amount of energy can be saved when the spacecraft enters the first cosmic speed.

Now the construction of the base of the electromagnetic railgun has been completed, and the railgun's bearing mechanism and launch tube wall still require the latest alloys to be manufactured.

Therefore, the construction of the electromagnetic railgun is still at a stagnant stage while waiting for the special alloy to be manufactured.

Despite this, Luo Xiu also deliberately sat on the Zhurong to inspect this building, which was as important as the planetary shield.

"Kakakaka."

The Zhurong, which had six mechanical legs, kept waving its mechanical legs, carrying Luo Xiu and getting closer to the electromagnetic railgun.

It is actually not too far to get to the location of the rail gun from the equator. At the speed of the Zhurong, it only takes more than an hour.

However, this speed is already somewhat insufficient for Luo Xiu, whose industry is about to be spread across Mars.

‘The speed is already a bit slow, so we need to renovate it. ’

At this time, Luo Xiu, who had regarded the Zhurong as his own exclusive mount, was not prepared to abandon the probe from Blue Star, and was even prepared to continue to modify it.

"Mastermind, plan the most appropriate transformation method for Zhu Rong." When the base of the electromagnetic railgun appeared in Luo Xiu's field of vision, he was also issuing the latest instructions to the base's control system, "Focus on When it comes to carrying people, don’t think about weapons and the like for now.”

"Okay, Commander."
