When Mark slowly spread out the very finely drawn contour terrain map in front of Rosen, he immediately received a system prompt.
"You have discovered and loaded a new style of map, and the experience value is +200."
"The map specialization level has been increased to lv5. Any map will guide you in the direction, and It can be converted into a contour terrain map according to your needs. The accuracy of the map generated by your visual inspection of the terrain is +20%. When you use delivery, the error value is smaller."
For Luo. For Sen, this was definitely an unexpected surprise.
This also proves from one aspect that the topographic map that Mark took out is not simple, and it may be top secret.
"It's time to think long term." Mark pointed to the mark he drew on the topographic map and said seriously: "Rosen, to be honest, I hesitated for a long time before coming here, but in the end I decided I think it’s time to come over and invite you to accompany me, so I hope you can live up to my trust.”
“Okay.” Rosen nodded.
Mark said: "NASA's next mission is Ares 4. It should land in Schiaparelli Crater, which is 3,200 kilometers away."< /p>
"Three thousand two hundred kilometers." Mark looked at Rosen and repeated the number, and said: "Four years later, when the Ares team comes, we must be there. Only then can we The possibility of returning to Earth."
"In other words, we must get to the crater before then."
"Then the question is, I have a working Mars. The car has a maximum shooting range of 24 kilometers. The battery needs to be charged in the living cabin before use. This is the first problem."
Mark stretched out his hand and rubbed his face and said: "The second problem is to complete such a trip. We need about 50 days, so at least we have enough supplies to last for 50 days."
"There is a miniature life support device in the rover, about the size of a minivan. In such a miserable situation. Under the circumstances, the only option I have left is to do some research to solve these problems."
At this point, he looked at Rosen expectantly, stretched out his hand solemnly and said: "So, I need your help. It is crucial for both you and me."
Rosen actually wanted to tell Mark that there was no need to go through such trouble.
As long as he stays here honestly and waits for his teleportation or delivery level to increase, a mere 3,200 kilometers will be nothing, and he can reach it easily.
But looking at the sincere face of Mark and his hopeful eyes, Rosen finally decided that it would be better not to tell him about this yet, so as not to dampen his fighting spirit.
Otherwise, if he has no goal at all, how will he survive the long period of time ahead.
So Rosen followed Mark to find the damaged rover that had rolled over, removed all the useful things on it, and installed it on the intact No. 2 rover.superior.
Remote travel testing began immediately.
Although Rosen strongly suggested that he could drive the rover, Mark never agreed in order to avoid any mistakes and damage to the rover.
This made Rosen feel disappointed.
The 74th solar day.
When night falls on Mars, the temperature on the surface also drops sharply.
You can imagine how cold it was inside the car without the heater on. Mark's breath turned to white frost.
But because Rosen had the Ring of Spring Warmth, nothing happened. He leaned against the car window and admired the night view outside.
To be honest, although they are all starry skies, looking at them from the earth is different from looking at them from Mars.
Mark stopped the train and looked at the instrument on his arm. While shivering from the cold, he started recording a log: "The good news is that I succeeded. I increased the battery by searching for Car No. 1." "Twice as much."
"But the bad news is that if I turn on the heater, I will consume half of the electricity every day, but if I don't use the electric heater, I will..."
He smiled and said humorously: "I am slowly being killed by the laws of thermodynamics. I really want to solve the problem now, but my balls are almost frozen. I can't do it anymore, so let's do it. "
As he spoke, he turned on the heater, and then looked at Rosen, who looked indifferent and said, "Rosen, why don't you seem to be cold at all?"
" Who said that?" Rosen immediately denied it, and then explained: "I'm just not too cold."
"Fuck." Mark suddenly said something in Mandarin, and then added: "I want to eat Sichuan hot pot when I go back. The spicier the better."
"No problem."
We have been spending a lot of time together recently, and Rosen began to try to teach Mark Mandarin. The foul language is In the first step, it seems that he learned very well.
"I have a way to solve the heating problem." Mark said while driving: "But the bad news is that I have to dig out the radioisotope thermoelectric generator."
"If I remember correctly, the name of one of the lessons during the training was Don't dig out the big plutonium box."
"You know, plutonium has always been one of the energy sources for space exploration. , because solar panels have many shortcomings and limitations, such as being easy to break, needing sunlight, and must be kept clean, etc., so NASA often uses plutonium as an energy source."
Mark began to explain again: " But it is not used for nuclear fission, but for the heat it emits. The surface of this thing can be used to bake eggs. It will be very warm in the car, provided it does not break, otherwise we will both be ruined.
"Correction, it's you who is finished, I don't want to stay in the car with you." Rosen said.
"Rosen, we are good friends who share weal and woe, why are we so cold and heartless?" Mark You said: "Don't worry, its radiationIt's not fatal, as long as we don't break him, in the words of the people in the Engineering Logistics Department: Nothing is wrong. ”
In the end, Rosen was convinced by Mark.
After eating hot pot, the two went to dig up the big plutonium box.
The 76th solar day.
After being on the road again, the car became very warm indeed, and Mark became more comfortable. His mental state was different from before, becoming excited and talkative.
"To be honest, it has indeed warmed up a lot. I am no longer cold. Of course, it can be understood that there are radioactive isotopes that are constantly decaying behind me, but these are not a problem. ”
Mark looked at the camera recording the log and said: “The other good news is that I no longer need to use Commander Louis’ disco music. I have more beautiful songs, composed by my Chinese people.” Courtesy of Friend Rosen. "
As he spoke, he clicked on the car player.
"You are like a fish in my lotus pond..."
Mark listened He shook his head and praised repeatedly: "It sounds good. "Occasionally, I would sing along.
But Rosen leaned his head against the cold car window, wanting to hold the big plutonium box and die with him.
Oh my God, What on earth have I done? Why am I listening to the moonlight over a lotus pond with a rough old man who smells like sweat?
It just ended. Vincent, who attended the press conference, was completely deprived of the right to face reporters by Director Teddy.
He immediately summoned his men and asked them to speed up the production of equipment so that advance supplies could be delivered as soon as possible. On Mars
