After the meeting, Jiang Chen and Dr. Amos took the space elevator back to the surface.
Judging from his previous trips to Celestial City, this was probably the shortest time he spent in geosynchronous orbit.
Arriving at the offshore platform of the space elevator, Jiang Chen directly used his authority to transfer a military helicopter from the garrison to take him and Dr. Amos to the direction of Future Building.
The helicopter landed directly on the tarmac on the top of the building.
After getting off the helicopter, Jiang Chen followed Dr. Amos to his institute.
The glass door slowly moved to the side. Amos rubbed his daughter's golden hair and said softly.
"Miriam, go back to your room and play."
The little loli, who was writing and drawing on the table, got up, looked at Jiang Chen timidly, and ran back to her room with her sketchbook.
Amos took Jiang Chen into the laboratory next to him. He reached out and pressed a few buttons on the holographic screen. Then he took out a helmet from the machine that was emitting white smoke and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Science is so wonderful. Through this helmet, we can share the same brain with drones tens of millions of kilometers away."
Jiang Chen took the strangely shaped helmet and looked at Dr. Amos with confusion.
"When did you send that drone to Mars?"
"In order to prove the effect of distance on the attenuation of Klein particle wave signals, as well as the delay of ultra-long-distance communication and all other exciting problems. Speaking of which, didn't you sign and approve the batch of experimental equipment sent to Mars? "The young doctor looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled.
"… I seem to have forgotten." Jiang Chen looked away awkwardly.
"Okay." Amos shrugged.
The topic ended awkwardly.
Jiang Chen laid down on the chair, put the helmet on his head, and looked at the stream of data that flashed in his field of vision.
"Are you sure that as long as you wear this thing, you can get in touch with a drone on Mars?"
"Yes, I just experimented with myself a month ago, and the results were quite perfect," Dr. Amos said in a relaxed tone. "Why don't I do it? I can't wait to see the ruins of the old civilization."
This was the moment to witness history. Jiang Chen, who had already put on the game helmet, would not give up this opportunity.
Jiang Chen's eyes moved around the operation interface imaged on the retina. While familiarizing himself with the operation interface, he asked Dr. Amos.
"Speaking of which, if I put on the helmet, how do I control it …"
"Don't worry, the non-humanoid equipment uses the driver's perspective." Dr. Amos explained, "The helmet comes with a tutorial. As long as you know how to operate the power armor, it shouldn't be a problem to operate this thing … Sure enough, let me do it."
"Forgive me for refusing."
…
Mars colony.
The door of the buffer cabin slowly opened, and a pair of powerful soldiers quickly walked to their cabinets and took out their kinetic skeletons and rifles.
"Urgent mission."
"Related to Mine 071?"
"That's right."
"Sh * t, I've had enough … Carrying a rifle, standing in the desert, watching a group of researchers play computer games … I f * cking thought I was here to fight the Martians. Where are the Martians? There's only a pile of sand here, and there are endless sandstorms, "a man of British descent complained while buttoning his helmet.
"Enough, Jim, if you have any dissatisfaction, go complain to the psychiatrist. Now put on your helmet and shut your mouth. If the Martians come out of the ground, I promise you'll be in front. " The captain, who had already equipped himself, stood in front of everyone and held the rifle in his hand. "Check the oxygen tank, pressure valve, and the weapons in your hands one last time … Are you all ready?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Let's go!"
Soldiers wearing bulky aerospace kinetic skeletons and armed with Gauss rifles trotted out of the Mars colony and entered a vehicle the size of a tank.
Behind the rover, a convoy of two vehicles, one large and one small, drove on the vast desert.
The dim light in the sky was as depressing as the afterglow of the apocalypse, and there were even some other colors. The communication channel was filled with noisy hoarseness, just like the boring yellow sand in the sky.
"The gamma value exceeds the normal value, and the solar wind is blowing outside … The anti-radiation equipment is checked, and everything is normal." Wang Qiang looked at the instrument on the rover and grinned.
James, who was sitting in the passenger seat and wearing heavy equipment, looked out the window with a frown.
"It's not suitable to be on duty today. I don't know what the command center is thinking."
He was Wang Qiang's deputy, a black Canadian who used to be a geological engineer at Vale in Brazil. After the bankruptcy of Rothschild Bank, he was laid off by the company on the grounds of budget cuts. After immigrating to Xin, he joined the Celestial Trade Alien Planet Exploration Department. A few months ago, he and the Marines came as reinforcements.
This was the farthest place he had ever been in his life.
"I'm drinking coffee, enjoying the air conditioner, and sitting on the recliner." Wang Qiang grinned. "Don't worry so much, get ready to work. Today's work is very simple. I can do it myself. You go make me a cup of coffee. "
The mission was very simple. They had to open the box numbered X-1101, which was claimed to be an S-level secret, and then put the drone inside into the well. Then they would sit on the rover and drink coffee to kill time. They would wait for the ground command center to say it was okay, and then they could pack up and go home.
To be honest, a few months ago, the colonists were still worried about whether Martians would drill out of the ground, fire with laser guns, or use a thick and long ram to pry open their chests … It wasn't until they wasted five drills to drill into the hollow layer five kilometers below that all their worries disappeared.
If it was anyone else with a hole in their roof, they would jump out immediately.
However, until now, they could still sit here and drink coffee safely, which proved a lot of problems.
They were completely scaring themselves before.
Wang Qiang, who was wearing a spacesuit, carried a suitcase, walked to the edge of the well, and then threw the suitcase on the ground.
He pulled out a data cable from the sleeve of the spacesuit and connected it to the interface of the suitcase. Soon, the security program passed the authorization verification and popped the lock of the suitcase.
Wang Qiang grinned as he took the fist-sized drone out of the box. He reached out his finger and tapped on it.
"Okay, little guy, it's up to you."
