Ren Hong nodded silently, the brain was moving rapidly, thinking, and after a moment, his heart moved slightly and said: "Mars indigenous people are not active during the day, they only move at night."Obviously, their habitat is most likely to be underground, Pezzos... yes!Mount Pezos, a massive volcano that has been dead for hundreds of millions of years, Mars cools down, and the lava passageway that flows after the volcano dies will become a staggered underground maze, in other words ... the best place for habitat.”

“Is that possible?”Ren Hong looked around the crowd and his eyes fell on Aslin, “Do you have any data on Mount Petzos?”How much?”

“Collecting the Pezos Volcano data is one of the tasks of the Noah, and before it can be carried out, everyone is dead.”Blake answered incredulously.

“All right!”Ren Hong shook his head with a bitter smile and said in an instant: "First, we must first find out what is under our feet, and second, we must clarify the situation of indigenous creatures on Mars."The first problem does not solve, I suggest that you still re-elect a new territory, or throw a large nuclear bomb at the crater, and the second problem is not solved, and there will always be unknown hidden dangers in the future base on Mars, unless the indigenous people die.”

Ren Hong looked around at the crowd and said, “My advice is to visit Mount Petzos as soon as possible, and the most important thing is to obtain DNA biological samples from indigenous Martian organisms.”The data on the black box is so limited that we still know almost none of the indigenous creatures of Mars, which is dangerous, and neither of us can afford such a huge loss, especially the loss of personnel!”

Blake suddenly said, “Investigate the underground?”“If there’s one below, there’s their nest.”

Their nests are below if they are true, and human beings have a natural fear of dark cellars if they are just contemplative.

“You don’t need to go in in person!”Ren added.

Yang Licheng is currently the supreme action commander on Mars, Ren Hong's proposal was not immediately adopted and implemented, but was reported to the space station to let the commander Li Xingfeng make a decision, which makes him very helpless, "Wang Jiang" this identity is not "ren Hong" this identity can be compared.

A year later, it took a lot of time, and today basically nothing can be done, it is too late, the dusk is near, and it is true that no Martian native creatures are encountered during the day, but it is not necessary at night.Since the arrival of the station, Observer 5 has basically been monitoring the Pezzos area around the clock, and has not seen the presence of Martian life for several months, both day and night.

However, humans do not know the living habits of such creatures, and do not know that they are in a dormant period at this time.

It was because I did not know that I dared to spend the night at the sentry base, and before the dusk approached, the people returned to the "Red Eagle" again.

Regarding the matter of Mars indigenous creatures, the "twin plan" is definitely impossible to terminate, not to mention the cost of high-priced investment, just the old Olympus mountains of the amethyst, even if the risk factor is high can not give up, amethyst has long been written into the country's highest level of strategic reserve resources, can be described as imperative.

The space station soon came with the latest instructions, and after repeated discussions, there was no better proposal than Ren Hong, and finally agreed to survey the Pezzos area.

The next day, the crowd returned to their destination, and with the help of satellites in space, it became much easier to survey the Pezzos area.

At this moment, Ren Hong and others are driving the rover to 231 highlands eight kilometers away from the sentry station base, and according to data from the satellite, there are several open-air lava port tunnels in the 231 highlands.

When you arrive at your destination, it is about 9:00 a.m. local time.

A large number of equipment was unloaded from the rover, and the 231 highland was a small high mouth, with an altitude of 231 meters lower than the Pezzos region, and the name comes from this.

At the ridge of the 231 highland, the data transmitted by the satellite was not wrong, and the survey team has found two caves, the largest diameter of 2.6 meters, which is really not small.

But no one wants to go in, and no one will go directly in to survey, which is too dangerous, and such a task should be handed over to the robot.

At about ten o'clock, a temporary signal tower was built in the cave about ten meters, and this signal tower has the role of signal transit and growth.

After 11 a.m., the team built a makeshift space using the inflatable space capsule produced by Bigelow Aerospace, which was easy to carry.

Several soldiers carried a small Mars locomotive from the rover.

In the temporary venue, Ren Hong, Yang Licheng, Aslin several people are in the column, Ren Hong sat in front of the console composed of multiple display panels, hands in the projection of the virtual keyboard under the screen for a moment, the screen immediately shows the completion of the connection.

The six-wheeled small Mars locomotive outside is put on the ground and moves alone, and the members of the armed tactical team responsible for vigilance outside watch the small-car-sized rover like children's fun, heading towards the cave.

“Is this thing reliable?”Asthole in the temporary space said incredulously.

“I named it the Martian Snake and the Explorer!”Ren Hong looked at a video showing the first view of the Mars locomotive: "Automated unmanned, intelligent system from my subsidiary xlous-alpha, xlous-ia intelligent equipment company provides basic hardware, xlous-asi company provides a battery to allow it to live for 78 hours, all of which are matrix technology products, trustworthy!"

At this moment, the Mars locomotive has entered the lava cave, the image in the screen immediately becomes a grid-like three-dimensional terrain live picture, the Mars locomotive continues to go deep, soon came to the first corner, this time it stopped, the Mars locomotive's trunk slowly opened, and then from the flanks out a robot arm from the trunk to remove a thumb-sized thing, is stroying red light.

“What is that?”Asrin asked curiously.

“Ensuring the stability of the signal.”He stared at the screen.

In the lava cave, more than 80 meters into the Mars locomotive, only to see its other small robotic arm drilled a small hole in the side wall, and then put the thumb-sized strobolever into, and then continued to move forward.

Let's accept Hong's brief explanation, Aslin understood the role of the thing, the Mars locomotive deep underground, as the signal more and more deep will become weaker and weaker, and eventually lose contact, and the thumb-sized instrument is placed on the side wall to ensure signal stability.

Mars locomotives will be placed every once in a distance, has been deep underground 800 meters, during the encounter with several dead roads and had to turn back, but the underground lava tunnel is connected, although not aware of the terrain of the lava tunnel staggered inside the volcano, but according to the volcanic data on the earth as a reference, can also take a lot of detours.

The Mars locomotive carries a large number of micro-equipment such as scientific analysis instruments and detectors, and the live information inside the tunnel is constantly fed back to the ground.

“The temperature has plummeted to minus 42 degrees Celsius and the humidity has increased.”

Just then, Ren Hong stared at the screen and suddenly leaned forward and said in amazement: "detect trace oxygen!"There's a situation in the underground of Mars, maybe their nests are really below, but don't tear down my baby, it's worth 200 million knives."

Mars locomotives continue to deepen, while the latest live data continue to return to the surface, the data currently shown, the Mars locomotive has penetrated more than 6,000 meters underground, and has now come to the afternoon.

“The Explorer!Stop it.”Ren Hong suddenly said that the Mars locomotive really stopped moving forward, and Ren Hong continued to voice-activated instructions: "Explorer!Camera 2 rotates 28 degrees clockwise.”

The screen suddenly began to move, a hemispherical groove appeared in the screen, Ren Hong covered his mouth and stared at the hemispherical groove for a long time, "explorer, analyze the surrounding soil layer."

“What is that?”Eslyn asked curiously, a robotic arm appeared on the screen to be extended into the grooves, but she was talking about the spherical groove.

“This is a volcanic lava tunnel, and a spherical recess does not seem to form naturally.”Ren Hong muttered, while waiting for the results of data analysis to be transmitted.

The analysis data came back ten minutes later, and the soil contained residual fermented bacteria, as well as other microorganisms, which were nothing, and the information displayed next cheered everyone.

Acidic corrosive substances were detected in the soil layer, which is subconsciously associated with snake lizards, but these data are not enough.
