Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 853 - 852: Curiosity

In Jiang Cheng's previous life, there were countless alien planets he had visited.

The civilization in Jiang Cheng's previous life was much more advanced than humanity's, and the places he could go to were also many.

Back then, for the sake of his research career, Jiang Cheng didn't know how many planets he had studied.

Among them were planets with environments thousands of times harsher than Mars, and Jiang Cheng had been to many such planets.

Some planets had pressures thousands of times that of Earth, which could even crush iron into fragments.

Some planets had temperatures reaching thousands of degrees during the day, but at night would drop to below minus two hundred degrees.

There were even planets where the forces reached a limit, making it almost impossible to move without tools, an environment that was truly unbearable.

It could be said that Jiang Cheng had seen far too many planets in his previous life, and he had witnessed grander sights than Mars, having been to many extreme planets.

He even approached black holes, those terrifying celestial bodies, with the help of special spacecraft, just to study the properties of these celestial bodies.

In the face of such terrifying celestial bodies as black holes, a planet like Mars is really nothing.

Jiang Cheng wasn't afraid even when approaching a black hole, so how could a small Mars embarrass him?

Perhaps on this spacecraft, Jiang Cheng is the person most able to adapt to the Martian environment.

Maybe only those astronauts who have been on missions on Mars for a long time can compare to Jiang Cheng in this regard.

When everyone had put on their spacesuits, they went into the spacecraft's isolation cabin.

To go outside, one must first pass through this isolated area, as the spacecraft could not directly open the hatch.

Opening the hatch directly would doom the entire spacecraft interior, and the remaining people inside might all die.

Therefore, personnel must first stay in the isolation cabin, then close the door leading from the spacecraft's interior to the isolation layer, before opening the outer door leading out of the isolation layer.

The first batch of people to disembark were Jiang Cheng and some management personnel, with everyone on the ship disembarking in batches.

As the Pioneer spacecraft's hatch slowly opened, Jiang Cheng finally saw the scenery on Mars.

The first thing that caught Jiang Cheng's eyes was the countless grains of sand on Mars.

The surface of Mars was like a massive desert, filled with innumerable dust and rocks.

Mars is inherently a desert planet, so this kind of terrain is not at all surprising.

Everywhere there were dunes and stones, like an endless sea of sand.

The pale red surface looked very dazzling, and if one wasn't careful, it could dazzle the eyes.

Apart from those red sands, next was the uneven surface.

The difference between Mars and a desert is that there are no signs of life here.

Mars looked incredibly desolate, with no signs of life or habitation.

Even in the harshest deserts, there might be some life persisting tenaciously, with some plants or animals present.

But there is no life at all on Mars, this planet is a barren dead star.

Of course, this was the case before humans arrived on Mars. Now it has changed; there is already a permanently inhabited base on Mars, along with many mining sites being developed.

Inside the Mars Base, there is even an ecological zone, where countless crops are being grown.

At least in the area where humans currently operate, it is full of vitality.

Now the Pioneer spacecraft has brought thousands of people to Mars, and this place will soon become bustling.

In the future, a city might even emerge on Mars, so it will never feel as desolate again.

After Jiang Cheng disembarked from the spacecraft, the first thing he felt was that the gravity here was lower than on Earth.

The gravity on Mars is only two-fifths of Earth's, so walking on Mars is very easy. If you're not careful to control your body, you'll end up hopping as you walk.

If you jump on the spot on Mars, the height is several times that on Earth.

If you consider the performance on Mars, many astronauts could probably play basketball; with such jumping ability, they would have no problem in the NBA.

Jiang Cheng didn't feel any discomfort with this low-gravity environment. He had experienced so many different gravitational environments in his previous life,

so he quickly adapted to the gravitational conditions here.

Jiang Cheng adapted quickly to the Martian environment, but the others around him were completely different.

Despite Xiao Gang boasting earlier, he almost made a fool of himself on Mars.

He walked down the spacecraft with Jiang Cheng and almost fell after only a few steps.

This discomfort was due to the change in gravity, requiring the body to adjust to adapt.

Fortunately, he had a good adaptive ability and adjusted quickly after a short while.

Once he adapted, he became restless, moving around the ship filled with curiosity about everything.

His behavior was quite normal, considering this was his first time leaving Earth to a strange alien planet.

Being curious about this place was perfectly normal, and it would pass once his excitement about the novelty wore off.

Others who came out with Jiang Cheng, after initially feeling uncomfortable, also adapted to Mars' environment and started moving around nearby.

While everyone was observing the nearby environment, a trail of dust suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

The dust trail looked as if something was moving, stirring up the dust on Mars' surface.

The dust trail from afar moved quickly, constantly approaching the spacecraft, and it wasn't long before it would reach the spacecraft.

At first, Jiang Cheng was startled by the appearance of the dust trail, thinking it was aliens on Mars.

After a while, he realized that there were no aliens on Mars.

If there were aliens on Mars, they would probably be the humans at the Mars Base.

For Mars, humans truly count as aliens.

Jiang Cheng guessed that the dust trail was probably the astronauts from the Mars Base, who came over to welcome them after seeing their arrival.

Soon the dust trail approached the Pioneer, allowing everyone to see what lay beneath it.

A few uniquely-shaped vehicles approached the Pioneer at high speed, with a group of spacesuit-wearing humans sitting inside.

Looks like Jiang Cheng's guess was correct, these were indeed the astronauts coming to greet them.

Speaking of which, the special vehicles these astronauts were riding were designed by Jiang Cheng himself. The Mars Rover could adapt to the complex surface environment and still maintain high speed.

The Mars Rovers quickly arrived in front of Jiang Cheng and the others, and several astronauts jumped right out of the Mars Rovers.

If they did this on Earth, even if they didn't fall, they might hit the ground hard.
