I was exposed for mining on Mars

Chapter 48 The Threat of Mars

Since the connection between Luo Xiu and the base control system was accomplished directly using exoskeleton armor, the Zhurong carrying Luo Xiu was unable to collect the sounds of Luo Xiu communicating with the base control system.

Cao Guolin and others on Blue Star could only see the nearby electromagnetic railgun base through the Zhurong's camera, as well as the nearly a thousand general-purpose robots working on the base.

These general-purpose robots have a large number of interfaces and can skillfully use various tools. Therefore, in the current stage of Mars construction, the usage rate of general-purpose robots is the highest.

And when the Zhurong continued to approach the base of the electromagnetic railgun, Cao Guolin and others from Blue Star finally had the opportunity to observe the building up close.

"Put this scene out."

Cao Guolin first asked someone to cut out the close-up view of the unknown building, and then observed it through the big screen.

From the appearance, the electromagnetic railgun at this time only has a base, so it looks like a high platform.

But when the Zhurong carried Luo Xiu to the high platform, Cao Guolin and others observed the carrying mechanism being built in the middle of the high platform.

Since the alloy of the load-bearing mechanism is still under emergency testing, all Cao Guolin and others can see now are some exposed pipelines and various auxiliary facilities.

But even with these, Cao Guolin and others were still very shocked.

Because this thing now seems not to be a building, but a simple piece of equipment.

The base diameter of a piece of equipment has reached 1,000 meters. Such a piece of equipment is not simple no matter how you look at it.

In Blue Star's Hua Guo Aerospace Control Center, everyone was watching the pictures coming back from the Zhurong.

"Looking at it like this, the height doesn't seem to be too low, at least above 2,000 meters."

Cao Guolin stared at the middle of the huge base, where hundreds of general-purpose robots were fiddling with something.

Gou Wen from the information team also came next to Cao Guolin at this time, sat on Cao Guolin's left hand, pointed at the picture on the big screen, and said: "Some people used to say that the mining machine was some kind of Star Destroyer Cannon. I see this." Things are somewhat similar."

"You mean this is a weapon?" Cao Guolin frowned slightly and said.

Although Cao Guolin has his own ideas, how much energy does such a large device have to have if it is a weapon?

Now Blue Star's spacecraft are heading towards Mars in a swarm. If the other party has built this equipment that may be a weapon before the arrival of Blue Star's spacecraft, then Blue Star's spacecraft will be completely in the tiger's mouth.

"You can't tell clearly yet. We can only judge after it is built." Gou Wen shook his head slightly and said, "And we may not be able to judge correctly yet."

Everything on Mars is too unfamiliar to Blue Star now, and they have basically never seen every equipment here. Most of the time, Blue Star people's knowledge of these buildings and equipment can only be guessed at.

Just like the planet shield being built near the equator, this huge cylindrical building left the Blue Star people confused and without any clue.

As for the current electromagnetic railgun, before the load-bearing structure and the huge guide rail are manufactured, the Blue Star people can only guess based on the base of the electromagnetic railgun.

"Blue Star is in danger now." Gou Wen stared at the screen and whispered.

The development of Mars has exceeded the expectations of the entire Blue Star. The exchange planned at the beginning has not been completed, and the other party will have control of the entire Mars resources.

Today's Blue Star, the most powerful weapon is nuclear weapons.

A nuclear explosion will not produce a mushroom cloud in space, but the fireball produced by the explosion will expand at a much faster speed than the explosion fireball in the core of the Earth's atmosphere. Materials contacted by the fireball within the range of the fireball will be severely damaged.

The particle flow and high-density electromagnetic radiation released by the explosion will also affect nearby electronic equipment in a wide range. A nuclear explosion with an equivalent of hundreds of thousands of tons can wipe out all satellites within hundreds of kilometers.

If it were a nuclear explosion in Earth orbit, the charged particles released could even cause auroras.

However, although this kind of weapon is very useful against humans themselves, it is also very simple to destroy satellites on the earth.

But using them to deal with this unknown civilization on Mars seems a bit inadequate.

Maybe the other party wouldn't give the Blue Star people a chance to contact them at all, and would just blow up Blue Star's various equipment in space.

If the 'Little Boy' carried by Amric could really reach Mars successfully, it would be of little significance to Blue Star.

The opponent's current scale is far beyond that of the small base in the wasteland. A single nuclear bomb will not make any waves at all.

Compared with before, Amerik's nuclear bomb was somewhat guaranteed, but now, everyone on the entire Blue Star who knew this was panicking.

What will happen if the other party thinks it is a provocation? What would happen if the nuclear bomb was detonated directly by the opponent? What happens if it accidentally explodes after reaching Mars?

On this blue star, perhaps the only one who is not so worried is Americ himself.

In general, for the current Blue Star people, the time available is too short, and they do not even have the opportunity to develop more powerful weapons and more effective vehicles.

More than a year is completely insufficient for Blue Star's current situation.

Of course, for Luo Xiu on Mars, time is also very precious. While building the electromagnetic railgun, he also needs to ensure the construction of a planetary shield near the equator of Mars.

Shielding the detection waves from the cruising fleet in two years' time is a top priority for Luo Xiu now. In comparison, the spacecraft that is about to visit Blue Star is simply not worth mentioning.

Only by shielding the opponent's detectors could Luo Xiu give the opponent a fatal blow in secret.

"Buzz"

Just when Luo Xiu walked to the center of the electromagnetic rail gun base, there was a faint sound of breaking through the air above the rail gun base.

In the atmospheric environment of Mars, sounds that could originally be transmitted thousands of meters on the Blue Star can only be transmitted a few hundred or even hundreds of meters away.

So when the sound came, Luo Xiu looked up. A very light and thin aircraft with huge wings, about twenty meters long, was slowly descending.

"Mastermind, is this an experimental aircraft?"

It was also the first time for Luo Xiu to see this aircraft. Before it appeared, Luo Xiu had only seen it from the drawings transmitted from the base control system.

In Luo Xiu's technology library, although there are aircraft for planets with thin atmospheres such as Mars, they have only been tested theoretically. Therefore, before Luo Xiu made them, he still needed to test them with a real machine.

"It looks good, how's the load?" After the aircraft landed completely, Luo Xiu stepped forward and asked the base control system through the exoskeleton armor.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Experimental Type 1 is temporarily unable to carry a load."

"Forehead."
