On this day, hundreds of silver shuttles flew out from the main body of the Voyager, circling around the planet.
The deep space command issued orders one by one, and they formed a nearly perfect circle in accordance with the order of formation.
Each silver shuttle carries a large amount of "dome" liquid.
Many people think of a "dome" as a solid material when they hear its name and purpose, but it's actually quite the opposite.
It performs many functions that are simply impossible for solid materials—such as filtration, oxygen absorption, biochemical reactions, self-healing and renewal.
The location of the base is in a basin near the North Pole in the northern hemisphere. Although it is also hot and dry here, it is much better than the equator, and the water vapor content is also slightly increased. More importantly, in the basin surrounded by mountains, the sandstorm The strength is significantly reduced.
The shuttles were in place, and the main body of the voyager slowly approached the low altitude. After a buzzing sound, the force field was activated, and the invisible force completely stopped the wind and sand in this area. Under the "Start" command from the Deep Space Command Office, the special jetting device at the tail of the shuttle was turned on, and the light green liquid stream shot down vertically and landed on the laid foundation. staggered.
Seen from a distance, they each hold a light green silk and satin intertwined together, as if they are weaving.
However, after the "dome" liquid meets its own kind, it immediately merges into one body like a drop of mercury meeting another drop of mercury. After one operation, the injection device is turned off, and the liquid network intertwined in warp and weft shows an amazing display. Physical properties—they spread rapidly, filling the void, and surface tension made it into a thin, semicircular film of air bubbles, perfectly shaped, like pale green soap bubbles, radiant in the light of the stars.
After that, the second round of spraying started, which strengthened its thickness a lot.
A total of six rounds of such spraying were carried out, and the protective film was finally stabilized at a thickness of 0.4 meters. It also solidified slowly, and finally turned into a jelly-like soft semi-solid with great elasticity.
After a few days of filtration, the air inside the protective film will become suitable for human survival, and it can also resist the attack of wind and sand—absorb sand particles, then deposit them at the bottom and discharge them, and be cleaned regularly by robots.
The first human creation appeared on this barren planet. It was not big, only ten kilometers in diameter, and it was insignificant compared to the human cities on Earth.
But no one can deny that it is a miracle - and as time goes by and the population grows, there will be more and more such bases, protecting the people in them to thrive.
At this moment, all the military pilots on the shuttle, as well as the people on the voyageur looking at this place, couldn't help cheering.
The hull of the Voyager continued to sink, and finally hovered in the air a thousand meters above the ground. The huge black hull blocked the dazzling starlight.
The flying shuttle turned into a landing ship, cutting the entrance and exit on the "dome", and the second area full of supplies separated from the main body and drove into the base.
"Om—"
A distant hum sounded, and a pale blue light flashed across the sky.
This is the Voyager turned on the microwave power supply to the base.
The nuclear fusion reactor continuously produces a steady stream of energy, which is converted into electricity and spread throughout the base in the form of microwaves, so that all machinery equipped with microwave receivers can operate normally without being connected to a power source or charging .
The construction of the human base began.
And the people full of joy began to call the stars here as "the sun" - this term always makes people look forward to it, because if the sun can rise every day, then tomorrow will always come full of hope.
Ever since Lin Si and Ling Yi stood by the porthole to watch the sunrise, the little guy has developed the habit of waiting for the sun to come out every day.
The dark brown sky at night gradually turns gray-yellow. Then, a wisp of bright smoke rises above the horizon, revealing the outlines of the clouds, and finally breaks through the thick yellow clouds and rises to the sky. The air is suddenly clear and bright, bringing The crimson mountains and rocks gleamed in the reflection.
— and all into a pair of beautiful dark eyes.
From what he saw, it was nearly three years.
"Ling, let's go."
Sweena leaned against the wall of the dome and looked at Ling Yi with folded arms.
Three years may not be a big deal to a woman like her who is mature and in her prime, she is still beautiful, heroic and charming.
Ling Yi is different.
Adults resist time, while children chase time. While time takes good things from old people, time will give them to children and teenagers. If this statement is true, then Ling Yi may have obtained time. special preference.
The contours of his facial features are completely stretched out, and he is still so beautiful, but he has added a lot of boyish heroism, and his long black hair is no longer draped behind his shoulders as he was when he was a child, but neatly tied up, with a few strands falling on his forehead. Hair, a little mischievous boyishness - especially when the corners of the thin lips are curled up.
Seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth, Sweena couldn't help but also smiled: "Baby, what are you laughing at?"
Ling Yi looked at the glorious dawn through the "dome", the golden sunlight was refracted by the light green barrier, rendering each other, and the reflection of the clouds was also floating in the semi-fluid dome, presenting a kind of magnificent strangeness intertwined with gold and green scene.
Ling Yidao: "Don't you think it's beautiful?"
"I've seen enough." Sweena kicked the stones on the ground with her military boots, "Today is our patrol again—life is so ordinary, only you are so excited."
She shrugged: "You are not at all like the child that Lin Si taught."
Ling Yi tilted his head: "What kind of children should he teach?"
"The little devil in the wizard's family should look like this." Sweena pushed her hair behind her ears, walked forward a few steps with a blank expression, pressed her right hand on the gun, pulled it out, raised her hand, and the gun Pressing his mouth down, he pointed at Ling Yi, his eyes were cold and empty, and he tilted his head stiffly.
Ling Yi smiled: "It seems really cool."
Sweena put down her gun, put away her fake expression, and smiled very happily: "That's right, and you are like a child who has been pampered and raised since childhood—only such a child loves this world so much. "
Ling Yi blinked: "But that's how I was raised."
Sweena didn't believe it, pouted, and put the gun back on her waist: "Let's go."
Ling Yi picked up the black military cap that was put aside and put it on his head.
He has grown a lot taller in the past three years, with a slender and handsome figure, handsome facial features, and those charming eyes that always look warm because of their shape and expression, coupled with the embellishment of a black military uniform—like Xia In the daytime, the young lover who walked slowly towards her in the girl's dream.
The military uniform is mainly black, with silver trim on the brim, collar, and shoulder sleeves, narrow sleeves, waist, boots, and the cap badge is a silver sail, which symbolizes the ship sailing in the endless ocean—although The Voyagers are now moored in this red harbor, but this emblem has always been so, and no one has ever proposed to change it.
The place he and Sweena are heading towards is a gray steel city, which is a gift from the iron-rich planet. Builders never have to worry about the lack of steel bars, and can even use steel as the main body of the building.
The sky is not yet bright, and the scattered buildings are sparsely lit, and there is a kind of silent depression.
The first batch of resurrected frozen bodies are still excellent scientists. Compared with the scientific research staff centered on physics, mathematics and biology during the voyage, there are many more outstanding geologists and geographers on the ground. They work every day, Committed to studying the structure of the planet, improving the harsh environment, and even having no time for entertainment.
As Sweena said, life is so ordinary, neither good nor bad—routine patrols, daily training, and because there are few residents, there is never a need to worry about security issues. The police in the most peaceful city on earth still have to deal with some petty thefts every day, but they don’t have to—living supplies are coordinated and equipped by the second district, and the quantity after strict calculation can fully meet personal needs. There is no currency, Naturally, there is no difference between poverty and wealth.
The Russian female officer was bored now, she glanced at the city at dawn, and sighed slightly.
But Ling Yi didn't show any negativity or depression. He looked at every corner of the city seriously, and then greeted Mr. or Mrs. who happened to meet on the road.
"Good morning, Mrs. Casalan."
"Good morning, my little angel." The lady returned his greeting warmly.
Ling Yi frowned, with a childish expression in his expression: "I'm going to be an adult soon, ma'am, I'm not a little angel anymore."
Mrs. Casalan was amused by him, and said happily: "You will always be our baby."
After that, she asked again: "How is Lin doing recently? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Ordinary life often makes people eager to talk and chat. After the lady finished speaking, she immediately continued: "Ling, you probably don't know that Lin's teacher Ye Selin is my best friend. If you see When you see him, you must convey the greetings of an elder to him on my behalf."
"Okay, ma'am." Ling Yi responded, and continued: "Lin Si is working on a mechanical exoskeleton project on the 'Voyager', and he will come to the ground once in a long time. When he comes, I will let you know .”
Mrs. Casalan once again praised Ling Yi for being so likable, and then walked away.
"A boyhood without worries, well... really enviable." Sweena lazily turned her head to look at Ling Yi. If there was a foxtail plant growing by the roadside at this moment, bored, she would definitely pull it out and put it in her mouth. inside.
"I also have troubles." In the young man's always bright and clear eyes, a little melancholy floated up at this moment.
"Let's hear it?" Sweena was very interested.
Ling Yi looked back at the road they came from. At the end of the street was the rising sun, and beside the sun, the looming silhouette of the "Voyager" in the clouds.
Sweena found that this angle was very subtle. She could say that Ling Yi was admiring the sunrise every day, and she could also say that he was looking at the "Voyager" every day.
"I miss Lin Si very much..." Ling Yi lowered his eyes, his voice became a little lower, with a nasal sound that was about to cry.
His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and anyone who saw him couldn't help but want to kiss him lightly to appease his depression.
"Okay," Sweena shrugged, "a cat in love with the owner."
