Chapter 443 Mars Ruins

The Mars rover has a very large space, which is much spacious than two 120 square meters houses. It is also divided into two floors, upper and lower. The space below is mainly used to store materials, and the upper part is where people live.

Overall, the rover is more than twice as large as the carrier in "The Wandering Earth". It uses super battery capacitors to provide energy, and the body is covered with solar panels to supplement energy.

If you encounter a situation where there is no electricity, you can stop and replenish your energy at any time. Anyway, the most important thing that travelers lack is time. You can set up camp wherever you go.

The car is driving very fast. If you encounter a terrain that cannot be overcome, you can also fly over dozens of meters. It is simply a large car that uses both land and air.

Li Maoye doesn't need to study it, and he knows that this car uses a super electric thrust engine. Although this engine is not enabled to fly in order to save energy, the electric thrust engine can also play a role during driving.

At least with the electric thrust engine as power, the ultimate speed of the rover can easily reach 200 kilometers per second, and then keep this speed soaring wildly on the empty Mars surface.

In fact, after entering the mountainous area, the rover can still fly several meters above the ground in an energy-saving mode, with its speed up to about 600 kilometers, and its passability is very strong, and it can fully reach the speed level of high-speed rail, if energy consumption is not considered.

Because of this, many hikers have bought this inexpensive Mars rover to go to the donkey shop. This thing is much simpler to maintain than the firefly spacecraft.

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

If the rover really has no energy, then stop and bask in the sun, or simply stop and don’t go anywhere, relying on the communication equipment in the car to send a distress signal.

Hikers only need to wait patiently for rescue. Because of this, the mortality and disappearance rates of Martian hikers have been greatly reduced.

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

Even though he already had his own firefly spacecraft, he decided to buy one when he went back and play, and he would be able to travel around.

When he said this idea, Qin Hua next to him immediately smiled, "The Mars rover can only be more useful on Mars. If you want to use it on Blue Star, you may have to greatly reduce all kinds of performance! Not to mention anything else, the flight speed and endurance must be reduced by at least half!"

Li Maoye shook his head and emphasized: "Of course, the Mars rover cannot be used without Mars. Many of its characteristics are designed based on the Martian environment. Unless everyone wants to settle on Mars, there is no place to use it if you buy this kind of rover."

"Ah? Why! Oh, I understand!"

Zhao Baibing thought about it carefully and immediately realized that since the gravity of Mars is much smaller than that of Blue Star, there is no surprise that there will be such a big gap. It seems that the reason why this kind of car is called a "mars rover" is worthy of its name.

In fact, such land-air dual-purpose vehicles are also common on Blue Star. However, according to the relevant regulations of the Meow Star Group, civilian super electric thrust engines are much weaker than those of the space version, so they cannot be as powerful as the Mars rover. As long as there is sufficient energy, they can fly at high speed.

The land-air dual-purpose vehicle on Blue Star is not only much smaller in size, but is similar to a sedan, but also has a flight speed and endurance that is not as good as a Mars rover.

Because the rover uses a space electric thrust engine, both performance and power are stronger than that of the civilian version, if it can be replaced with a nuclear-powered reactor, it can even be used as a small aircraft.

This time, the people from the Meow Star Laboratory came out and brought enough energy and supplies. Among them, there are several small cold fusion reactors, all of which are suitcase-sized energy devices connected to the energy module of the rover. They can directly turn on the flight mode regardless of whether there is or not.

In addition to the almost unlimited energy supply, they also brought a team of M series machine bodyguards, and an angel nanny was followed in each car, so they had no worries about safety and diet.

"If we really encounter danger, we can also turn on nano-aerospace armor. This new type of armor has the lethality and defense power that is comparable to that of the cat-headed rabbit. It can not only fly freely in space, but also launch lasers to attack the enemy!"

The laser that Li Maoye mentioned is actually a laser cannon, with a certain number of emissions, but it is amazingly powerful!

This approach is also prepared for any eventuality, but the relevant safety measures are not available, because a special force is quietly following them where everyone cannot see them. This is the person sent by the relevant departments to protect the bald boss.

In fact, when Li Maoye said he was going to Mars, the rabbit had already arranged personnel to prevent accidents. They were extremely worried that the bald boss would do something big quietly like last time.

Last time, Li Maoye took a trip that he could go on without hesitation, but it was revealed that Rabbit had obtained anti-gravity engine technology. Fortunately, the relevant departments responded quickly at that time, and Rabbit had already made relevant preparations, so it did not make things out of control.

Although the people from Meow Star Laboratory did not travel illegally this time, Li Maoye was included in the team. Even if they had received relevant applications, the relevant departments would not dare to take it lightly.

Then the special forces followed for several days and found that these people were really wandering around aimlessly, just like ordinary Martian hikers checking in various scenic spots.

I have all visited "Sailor Canyon", "Oripas Mountain", "Talsis Plateau", "Aba Mountain", "Askers Mountain", etc. Anyway, they not only have sufficient materials and energy, but also have the most detailed Mars map information, and can formulate travel routes at will.

"Are they really coming to travel?" The people from the relevant department were surprised.

According to their perception of the bald boss, this guy is like a thousand-year-old turtle, often staying in the nest without moving. Once he comes out and wanders around, something will definitely happen.

"No matter what, he must be safe!" the relevant department leaders ordered.

After almost a month, the people from Meow Star Laboratory had already visited the places they should go, enjoying the strange scenery of Mars, and it was also considered that they had experienced an extremely special group activity, leaving behind happy memories in their lives.

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

The place he mentioned was a shield-shaped volcano on the Talsis Plateau. On this plateau with a height of 14 kilometers and width of 6,500 kilometers, there are a total of five such shield-shaped volcanic remains.

It also includes the highest Oripas Mountain in the solar system. It is 27 kilometers long and 600 kilometers wide. The remaining volcanic relics are also quite small. In terms of size, it is considered the largest volcano in the solar system.

"Oripas Mountain?" Zhao Baibing couldn't help but ask strangely after seeing the specific coordinates: "Haven't we been there before? There are only huge volcanic ruins there, and there is no other sighting!"

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

Since the boss said this, the others had no objection. They used the communication instruments on the car to communicate with other Mars rovers, and then turned around and continued to communicate with Luffy.

Since they had been there once and the road conditions were quite familiar, they flew over Mount Oripas shortly after, but the volcanic remains were very huge, as if a huge shield was covering the surface.

"Down the Mars rover!" Li Maoye ordered.

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

Everyone didn't understand what Li Maoye was going to do, so they all looked at it, wanting to see what the boss had plans for the next time.

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

Others also hurried out. They all had nano-aerospace armor and came outside many times when they were traveling, so they didn't think that this volcanic scenery was surprising.

It is different from the volcanoes on Blue Star. In addition to the small gravity that makes the volcanoes grow very tall, it also lacks obvious plate movement, making the volcanoes mainly distributed by hot spots, unlike the structure of Blue Star with fire rings.

Simply put, if the volcano on the Blue Star is cone-shaped, then the volcano on Mars is yurt-shaped, so huge shield-shaped volcanoes can appear on the Martian surface.

Li Maoye looked at the system screen in front of him with his eyes and walked back and forth on the surface of the volcano for a while. This Martian volcano was formed tens of millions of years ago and had already lost its heat. Therefore, the surface temperature was not very high, and even the lava in the mountain had long cooled down and solidified.

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

It was not a whim that he led his team to Mars, but a decision made after careful consideration. As early as a few years ago, he systematically judged that Mars had once had life and was quite prosperous.

But at that time he could not judge whether Martian life still existed, or how far these lives had developed, and what happened to them that Martian became what they are today.

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

As early as two years ago, the three sisters reported to him that they had found traces suspected to be left by intelligent life on Mars, and these traces were spread throughout Mars, but they were all covered by volcanoes and had undergone erosion for tens of millions of years, so it was difficult to re-excavate them.

"They are not like dinosaur fossils that can be preserved in the natural environment, but blend into Mars' surface and eventually turn into red iron oxide!" Emily explained.

Hearing this statement, Li Maoye couldn't help but feel moved: "What do you mean is that there was once a highly civilized intelligent race on Mars, and a huge steel city was built on Mars?"

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

The erosion of tens of millions of years is enough to make these steels disappear. If humans encounter the same fate one day, it is probably not enough for millions of years that the Blue Star can erase all the traces of human beings, and in the end they will only be fossils of human skeletons.

The other tall buildings of Daxia, which are steel and concrete, may not be able to withstand even a thousand years of time, let alone tens of millions of years!

After Mars travelers became prosperous, humans learned more and more about Mars, but others still did not find that there was a civilization not weaker than humans under their feet.

However, Li Maoye became more and more acknowledged the judgment of the three sisters, especially when a hiker came to the donkey trip on Mount Oripas, he found traces of suspected Martian civilization here, but the hiker was unable to identify these traces, and instead asked the intelligent network to feed the information back to the three sisters.

After learning more detailed content, Li Maoye judged that there was once a Mars civilization on the Talsis Plateau, and the five large shield-shaped volcanoes are likely to be cities of Mars' prehistoric civilization.

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

After deduction and judgment by the CVI system, Oripas Mountain has a 90% chance of burying a city. As long as he can prove this, the relevant departments will definitely find a way to excavate the city.

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

Others looked at it inexplicably, thinking that the boss was speaking out because of his feelings, but they didn't know what these words meant. Are they lamenting the hardships of human civilization?

Before they could figure it out, Li Maoye directed the intelligent robots from the car and asked them to dig in designated places with excavation tools. Judging from his spirit, it looked like the 19th century oil tycoon digging oil.

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

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

"Yes, I'm looking for the treasure of civilization!" Li Maoye told others his guess and explained: "The locations of these five volcanoes are too regular! Therefore, I suspect that there must be a city with Mars civilization buried below!"

Zhao Baibing, Qin Hua and others studied it carefully and found that there was a problem with these volcanoes. The difference in the center distance between them was very small, which could almost be regarded as an equilateral pentagon, or as the five vertices of a pentagonal star!

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

But I dug until fifty meters deep, but no one found anything.

So they planned to give up and continue digging, and planned to go back and make more thorough preparations so that they could continue digging holes when they came back and shouted:

"Finished, I found it!"
Chapter completed!
