【June 27, 2019】

Writing the beginning of this line in the diary, Wang Qiang sucked his nose and looked out of the car window, the sky blocked by sandstorms.

The day on Mars is only 37 minutes longer than that of the earth. If it is counted according to the twenty-four hours of the earth, it should still be more than three in the afternoon, but it is already dusk here.

After the initial period of excitement, he now has no excitement when he first landed on Mars.

Life on Mars is boring, communication resources are precious, and of course it is impossible to use the Internet. Before the establishment of the large communication base station, each person had only 10 minutes of telephone time per day, and he could call his relatives and friends on the earth, which was also the only way for them to obtain information on the earth.

Without internet, it is a kind of torture for modern people.

This means that you ca n’t look at your mobile phone to brush your bib, or wear a phantom helmet to go to the virtual world. Half of the entertainment methods of modern people have to be marked with a big red cross.

For Wang Qiang, his daily entertainment is listening to pop music on the earth, lying in bed and reading novels brought from the earth, and the pace of life seems to slow down at once. Most people are the same, they will find something they like to do after work.

Fortunately, one of the twenty colonists in the colony is a chef who is good at the four major cuisines. The material reserves in the colony cabin are quite rich, and they can eat with different tastes every day. Since then, eating has become one of their few entertainments.

In order to encourage the morale of the colonists, the captain assured them that they would apply to the command center at the end of this month to bring more chefs to the next batch of colonists. On the one hand, you have to take care of the diet of a few foreigners, on the one hand, you can also change the taste.

The sandstorm outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, but Wang Qiang continues to write something on the diary as if he did n’t see it. This is the habit he developed after he came to Mars, mainly to pass the time.

As for why he is so calm, because he is very clear, as long as it is not the level of the 13th typhoon, he ca n’t blow away his rover with a fixed anchor. The dust storm on Mars seems to be the largest one since it was recorded at level 12.

Before being sent to Mars, he was a geological worker of the future mining industry, of course, now. The command center has assigned him only one task, which is to survey the geological information of Mars, search for minerals, and assess the reserves of groundwater.

Although steel can be made by shoveling a shovel of sand, the minerals required by heavy industry are not only steel, but also elements such as aluminum, manganese, chromium, cobalt, and nickel, but they are all covered by sand. Yan Shishi.

The colonial ship parked on the synchronous orbit has scanned the geological information map of this area. According to the geomorphological features on the topographic map, he has identified several locations where there may be deposits and groundwater-rich areas. And his job for the next month is to drive the Mars Rover one by one to investigate these mine sites and complete the final geological information mapping work.

Although I did n’t imagine this was a light job from the beginning, the difficult conditions were still beyond his expectations.

The entire Mars is desert, with no obstructions at all. This is the fifth time he has encountered a sandstorm today. If it wasn't for the colonial ship overhead to monitor the weather data 24/7, he wouldn't dare to get off at random.

The climate on Mars is volatile, and sandstorms come and go quickly.

When the wind indicator returned to a safe value, the dim sky finally reappeared in his sight.

Due to the thin atmosphere, there are many and large dust particles. Due to the Mill scattering effect, dust scatters red light with the same wavelength as its own particles. The sky in the non-sun's line of sight is reddish, while the sun and its surrounding light are bluish.

This magnificent scenery can only be seen on Mars.

However, looking at it every day can be awkward, and the beauty is so beautiful. Wang Qiang began to miss the island of Kero a little, the beautiful scenery, the sea breeze mixed with the smell of seafood, and the blue sea and blue sky.

Shaking his head, Wang Qiang put away his diary, and also put away memories of the earth.

Opening the door of the car, he was already wearing a space suit and jumped onto the sand with the equipment box. In order to prevent the sudden attack of sand and dust storms, he had opened the anchoring device of the Rover chassis before getting off the vehicle, and at the same time attached a safety rope to his back.

This is no joke. Although he has n’t seen it with his own eyes, he has heard of it before. The dust storm here can reach the level of 12 typhoons on the earth. .

"Is the lake bed sedimentary facies? This is almost weathered, there should be water underneath, I do n’t know how much ..."

Putting up the hologram, holding a device about the size of a suitcase, Wang Qiang found a relatively flat position on the ground, and then fixed the device on it.

The technological content of the entire set of equipment is not high, but it is quite practical. There is a striker at the bottom of the device, which can simulate seismic waves by hitting the surface at high speed. According to the different propagation speeds of the waves in different media, the lithology of the formations at different depths can be determined. At the same time, whether there is groundwater under the area, if so, how deep is .

Remove the tablet from the chest of the spacesuit, Wang Qiang connected the data cable to the device, and then exported the waveform.

"Import completed, let me see ..."

Looking down the waveform chart, Wang Qiang has taken a rough look at the geological conditions here, but when he saw the location about two kilometers underground, he suddenly froze, his brows frowned slightly. .

"... Is the test wrong?"

At two kilometers underground, the waveform curves of the three red, blue, and green bars are greatly distorted, and even intertwined. In his more than ten years of work experience, this situation is the first time to see.

Back up the waveform, Wang Qiang restarted the device, and after waiting for three minutes, another set of data was measured.

However, the result this time is the same.

In addition to being durable, the equipment of the future heavy industry cannot be damaged after only a few days of use. However, the possibility of equipment failure is ruled out, and there is only one remaining situation, that is, the geological information in the target area is extremely complicated.

More than a hundred meters of stratum, iron, aluminum, titanium ... and other things that do n’t even know.

I know with my feet that this is absolutely impossible to form naturally.

But if it was not formed naturally, what would it be?

An idea suddenly appeared in Wang Qiang's heart, so that his heart slammed up.

"... grass, is this a treasure found?"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Qiang restrained the excitement in his heart and could not care about the third set of data. Pushing the tablet back to his chest, he reached out and pressed it on the helmet of the spacesuit, and connected to the colony command via the radio on the rover.

"This is Explorer 01, call the headquarters. Something happened to me here ... not a security situation, I found something interesting here." (To be continued.)
