Because he saw a Chinese man who was much younger than himself, and he was wearing the same style of space suit as himself.
Could it be that NASA’s space suits were made by Chinese people? Mark had such a ridiculous thought in his mind at this time, and then he stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, my name is Mark Watney, nice to meet you."
"Hello, I am Rosen "
Rosen reached out and shook his hand, and said, "I just cooked some dumplings, and I thought you might have just woken up and hadn't eaten yet, so I brought them over to taste them with you."< /p>
As he spoke, he took out a quite large insulated lunch box.
When Mark heard that there was something to eat, he was quite happy at first, but when he saw the insulated lunch box, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Because he didn't understand where Rosen took it out from.
However, he still clearly remembered that when the two met and shook hands just now, Rosen had nothing in his hand.
What the hell is going on? ! Could it be that there was something wrong with the sweet corn I just ate and that I was hallucinating? ! Mark had questions in his head, but he still let Rosen into the living cabin.
"First of all, I have to apologize to you." Rosen walked into the cabin, took off his astronaut helmet, and then said: "In order to save you yesterday, I barged in directly. Before I left, I noticed that your spacesuit was pretty good, and I happened to be missing one, so I borrowed one. Do you mind?”
“No,” Mark smiled and said. "Anyway, I have a lot, you can use it as you like."
Rosen also smiled and stretched out his hand to him, saying: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Rosen. I am Chinese and I am studying medicine in my second year. "I happened to live here, and I will be your neighbor for a while. I hope that you and I can live in harmony and become a model of good neighborliness for a long time to come."
"My name is Mark Watney, a NASA astronaut, and also a botanist." Mark also stretched out his hand to shake it with him again, and said: "You just said that you are Chinese. This I know the country of China is also called China, but you said you are just a sophomore medical student, so how did you end up on Mars?"
"This is a long story. "Rosen opened the warm lunch box and said, "Let's eat first. I'll talk to you later when I'm free." As he spoke, he handed Mark a pair of brand new chopsticks. : "Anyway, we're going to stay in this quiet place for a long time. We'll have plenty of time to chat until you puke."
"Haha..." Mark laughed.
“Do you want to eat garlic?” Rosen said and took out a head of purple-skinned garlic from his pocket.
"No, thank you." Mark shook his head quickly.
"Then you are in trouble. You can only eat dumplings with garlic, and the taste is half as bad." Rosen said and took out a small vinegar bowl and put it on the table. It not only contained old vinegar, but also some A few drops of stone ground sesame oil, the fragrance is rich and diffuse.
"How about some vinegar?"
"No more." Mark refused again.
Rosen didn’t try to persuade him anymore. He immediately ate dumplings with vinegar and garlic, and said to Mark, “Although I don’t know why you were left alone on Mars, even if someone comes, It will take a long time to pick you up, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you have enough food and drink?" Rosen looked at him. , said: "If not, just ask. In the spirit of internationalism, I will be happy to support you free of charge."
Mark wanted to nod and say yes, so that at least he wouldn't have to worry about food and water.
But when I think about myself as an astronaut from the United States, but having to ask the Chinese for help, I inevitably feel uncomfortable.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel so proud that I shook my head and said: "No, I can solve the food problem by myself. After all, this is also part of the scientific research I came to Mars this time."
"Okay." Rosen smiled and nodded, and said, "Since you don't need it, just think that I'm fine. Oh, by the way."
Rosen pointed outside. Said: "Considering that I have to stay here for a long time, I will be idle when I am idle, so I want to find something to do to relieve my boredom. I don't know anything else. I just want to give full play to the racial talents of us Chinese: planting some land, Not to solve the problem of eating and drinking, but to play, I will probably use part of the land outside. Do you have any objection?"
"No." Mark shook his head quickly and said, "The land here does not belong to us. Anyone can do it."
Rosen nodded and said, "That's good."
After finishing the dumplings, Rosen packed up his dishes and left.
Mark also put on his spacesuit again and walked out of the habitation module to check the organic waste behind.
What he is really looking for is accumulated human excrement, which is simply feces.
He used it as fertilizer to improve the soil and provide necessary nutrients for the potatoes to be planted.
While Macri was going around and around, Rosen was not idle either.
When he asked Mark for his opinion before, it was just a polite inquiry. Regardless of whether the latter agreed or not, he would still do whatever he wanted to do.
After all, this is Mars, and no matter how awesome the Yankees are, the aircraft carrier can’t get there.
If Americans can plant their flags here, then the Chinese can do the same.
Their astronaut can grow potatoes here, then he can create an ecological agricultural park here.
For this reason, Rosen summoned the poisonous flower vine and let it drill around in the ground, making ridges on one side and loosening the soil on the other.
Although the environment on Mars is very harsh, it is still completely bearable for the poisonous flower vine.
Half an hour after being summoned by Rosen, he didn't lose any health points, which really surprised him.
I don’t know exactly why the poisonous flower vine has such stubborn vitality.Strong, so it can quickly adapt to the harsh environment here, or because of the resistance bonus given by the oak wise men floating around.
While Poison Flower Vine was busy, Rosen took out large pieces of glass from the storage compartment and began to assemble it.
Farming in the open air on Mars is definitely not possible, so Rosen thought of vegetable greenhouses or glass greenhouses.
After some weighing, he finally chose the latter. The reason is simple, easy to use and convenient.
As for whether the glass will be broken when there is wind and sand on Mars, that is not a problem at all. Do I need to say how awesome domestic tempered glass is?
With the modular design and power tools, it is not difficult to assemble. With the Clay Stone Demon nearby to help, the work efficiency is higher.
While Rosen was busy, he suddenly received a warning from the poisonous flower vine. He immediately canceled the summons to the Clay Stone Demon and turned to look at Mark, who was walking slowly over.
"Hi, Mark, what do you want to see me for?" Rosen asked with a smile.
"My wound collapsed." Mark said with some embarrassment.
"What on earth did you do?" Rosen said, helping him walk back to his cabin, treating his wounds again, suturing, bandaging...
Busy work After finishing, Rosen said: "Until the wound is completely healed, I advise you to try not to do heavy physical work, otherwise it will easily happen again."
"Okay, thank you for your care. "Mark nodded and immediately asked: "Rosen, I'm curious, is the big man next to you just now also your companion?" "How can there be a big man?" Unexpectedly, he saw the Clay Stone Demon, but he immediately denied it with a smile: "You must have mistaken the mound for a human being."
"Really?"
"Of course."
