Writing the beginning of this line in the diary, Wang Qiang sniffed and looked out the car window, the sky blocked by sandstorms.
The day on Mars is only 37 minutes longer than Earth. If we follow the twenty-four hours of Earth, it should still be around 3:00 p.m., but it is already dusk here.
After the initial period of excitement, he now lost the excitement he had when he first landed on Mars.
Life on Mars is boring and communication resources are precious, so of course it is impossible to use it online.
Before the large-scale communication base station was built, each person had only 10 minutes of telephone time per day, and they could call their relatives and friends on the earth, which was also their only channel for obtaining information on the earth.
Without the Internet, it is simply a torture for modern people.
This means you can't use your phone to scan your scarf, or you can't wear a phantom helmet to go to the virtual world. Half of modern people's entertainment methods have to be made with a big red cross.
For Wang Qiang, his daily entertainment now is to listen to the pop music on the earth, lying on the bed and flirting with novels brought from the earth, and the pace of life seems to slow down suddenly.
Most of the others are the same, and they will find something they like to do after work.
Fortunately, among the twenty colonists in the colony, there was a chef who was good at four major cuisines. The material reserves in the colony cabin were quite rich, and they could eat them in different flavors every day.
Therefore, eating became one of their few entertainments.
In order to boost the morale of the colonists, the captain promised them that he would apply to the command center at the end of this month to bring more famous chefs to the next group of colonists.
On the one hand, you have to take care of the diet of several foreigners, and on the other hand, you can also change your taste.
The sandstorm outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, but Wang Qiang seemed to have not seen it, and continued to write something in his diary with his pen.This is a habit he developed after coming to Mars, mainly to pass the time.
As for why he was so calm, he knew very well that as long as it was not the level of a 13-level typhoon, he could not blow away his rover with fixed anchors.
The largest sandstorm on Mars seems to be level twelve since records were recorded.
Before being sent to Mars, he was a geologist in the future Mining industry, and of course, now.
The command center assigned him only one task, which is to explore the geological information on Mars, find minerals, and evaluate groundwater reserves.
Although any shovel of sand can produce steel, the minerals needed by heavy industry are not just steel, but also elements such as aluminum, manganese, chromium, cobalt, and nickel, which are all covered tightly by the sand.
The colonial ship parked in the synchronous track has scanned the geological infographic map of this area. Based on the landform characteristics on the topographic map, he has identified several places where there may be mineral deposits and groundwater enrichment areas.
His next month's work was to drive a rover to inspect these mines one by one and complete the final geological information map.
Although I didn't imagine that it was an easy job from the beginning, the hardships of the conditions were still beyond his expectations.
The entire Mars is a desert, with no obstruction at all.
This is the fifth time he encountered a sandstorm today. If it weren't for the colonial ship overhead monitoring meteorological data all the time, he wouldn't have gotten off the car at will.
Mars' climate changes are unpredictable, and sandstorms come and go quickly.
When the wind speed indicator returned to safety, the dim sky finally reappeared in his sight.
Due to the thin atmosphere, there are more dust particles and larger.
Due to the Mir scattering effect, the dust scatters red light with the same wavelength as its own particle size. The sky in the non-sun’s sight direction is redder, while the light in the sun and its surroundings is bluer.
Such a magnificent scenery can only be seen on Mars.
However, you will feel sick every day. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will become an ordinary sight if you see too much.
Wang Qiang began to miss Koro Island a little, the pleasant island, mixed with the sea breeze with seafood flavor, and the blue sea and blue sky.
Shaking his head, Wang Qiang put away his diary and also put away his memories of the earth.
When he opened the car door, he had already put on his space suit and jumped to the sand with the equipment box.
In order to prevent the sudden attack of the sandstorm, he had already opened the anchoring device of the rover's chassis before getting off the car, and at the same time connected a safety rope behind him.
This is not a joke. Although he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he has heard before coming that the sandstorm here can reach the maximum level of a 12-level typhoon on Earth, and it's not too easy to blow away his little arms and legs.
Is the lake bed sedimentary facies?This is almost weathered, there should be water underneath, but I don’t know how much it can be...
After putting away the holographic image and holding the device that was 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 very high, but it is quite practical.
There is a striker at the bottom of the equipment, which can simulate seismic waves by impacting the surface at high speed. According to the different propagation speeds of the waves in different media, the lithologies of different depths of formations are measured, and at the same time, whether there is groundwater below the area, how deep it is, if it exists, etc.
Remove the tablet from the chest of the spacesuit, Wang Qiang connected the data cable to the device, and then exported the waveform diagram.
The import is completed, let me see...
Looking down along the waveform chart, Wang Qiang had already roughly looked at the geological conditions here. However, when he saw about two thousand meters underground, he was suddenly stunned and frowned slightly.
...Is the test wrong?
At two thousand meters underground, the three red, blue and green wave curves were distorted greatly, and even intertwined.This is the first time he has seen this situation in his more than ten years of work experience.
After backing up the waveform chart, Wang Qiang restarted the device, waited for three minutes, and then measured another set of data.
However, the result was the same this time.
In the future, except for its durability, Renhe Industrial's equipment will not be broken after only a few days of use.
However, excluding the possibility of equipment failure, there is only one remaining situation, that is, the geological information in the target area is extremely complex.
In the strata of more than 100 meters, iron, aluminum, titanium... and things that are not known at all.
As you think with your feet, it is absolutely impossible to form naturally.
But if it was not formed naturally, what would it be?
A thought suddenly appeared in Wang Qiang's heart, so that his heart accelerated with a pounding speed.
... Grass, is this considered to have found a treasure?
After taking a deep breath, Wang Qiang restrained the excitement in his heart and did not care about testing the third set of data.
Pushing the plate back to his chest, he reached out and pressed the helmet of the space suit, connecting the command of the colonial cabin through the radio station on the rover.
Here is Explorer 01, Call Command.Something happened to me...not a security situation, I found something interesting here.
