Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 854 - 853: The Base

But here, on Mars, where gravity is much weaker than on Earth, so they jump down without any issues.

The leading astronaut saw Jiang Cheng and the others and was the first to greet them.

Welcome to Mars.

Hello, I am the head of Mars Base, specifically here to welcome you.

It seems the Mars Base has recognized Jiang Cheng is here in person, so they sent their leader to greet him.

"You must be the person in charge here. Ma Shun, you came to meet us.

Let's go, take us to visit the Mars Base.

I've actually never been here, so I might need your introduction.

Jiang Cheng didn't say much more, instead directly let him lead the way ahead.

Please get in the car, the base is still a few kilometers away from here.

The base manager invited Jiang Cheng and the others onto the Mars Rover and started heading in the direction of the Mars Base.

The spacecraft landed a little distance away from the Mars Base.

This was mainly considered for the safety of the spacecraft landing, so they chose this vacant location.

Mars City will be constructed around the base, and the spaceship parked here won't affect the later construction.

However, from here to the Mars Base isn't too far, just a few minutes by car.

The Mars Rover raised up plumes of dust as it gradually distanced itself from the Pioneer.

Jiang Cheng and the others thus followed the path of the Mars Rover, heading towards the nearby Mars Base.

The astronauts behind them don't need Jiang Cheng to worry; they naturally have means to leave the spacecraft and head to the base.

The Pioneer carries countless equipment and supplies, including numerous Mars Rovers.

These Mars Rovers are tools required for the future construction of Mars City and naturally must be transported with the Pioneer to Mars.

The astronauts behind will drive the Mars Rovers themselves; after all, the Mars Rovers are equipped with automatic navigation devices, so there's no fear of anyone getting lost.

Subsequently, a batch of astronauts came down from the Pioneer and began unloading supplies and equipment.

The astronauts also have a task to transport the supplies and equipment to the base because the base is the execution site of this mission, so all relevant items need to be transported there.

The rookie astronauts, under the leadership of some veterans, thus began their very first task.

The vicinity of the Pioneer suddenly became busy, and Zhou Country was piled high with countless supplies.

Numerous supplies and equipment were piled up into small hills, all needing to be transported to the vicinity of the base. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

It seems these astronauts will be busy today; just transporting supplies alone is not a task that can be completed quickly.

Even with efficient Mars Rovers and transportation robots helping, these astronauts will be busy until nightfall.

Upon arriving on Mars, the astronauts have to face a challenging task, but these astronauts won't be frightened; they were already prepared for national difficulties, and this task doesn't intimidate them.

These supplies are all required for the upcoming construction of the city, and it's not the entirety of the supplies either.

After offloading all the supplies and personnel, the Pioneer must return to Earth to load additional items.

It's estimated the Pioneer will need to make trips back and forth around ten more times to transport all the items needed to Mars.

The Pioneer can transport tens of thousands of tons of cargo each time, which gives an indication of how many things are needed to build Mars City.

While the astronauts busied themselves with transporting goods, Jiang Cheng and Xiao Zheng sat in the Mars Rover, enjoying the scenery along the way.

This is Jiang Cheng's first time on Mars, so he is quite curious about the surrounding environment.

The terrain on Mars is vastly different from Earth; it's almost like a completely different world.

Jiang Cheng looked at the peculiar landscapes on Mars and marveled at Nature's craftsmanship, as Mars and Earth were formed under entirely different conditions, resulting in completely different natural environments.

What impressed Jiang Cheng the most were the enormous mountain ranges on Mars.

Due to Mars' lower gravitational pull, the mountains appear incredibly immense.

Especially the mountain range Jiang Cheng saw from afar, it seemed boundless from such a distance, appearing so massive that it exceeded the height of any mountain range on Earth.

The mountain range Jiang Cheng saw is very famous; it was renowned even before humans set foot on Mars because it's the highest mountain range in the solar system, known as Mount Olympus.

Limpas Mountain is a volcanic stack; the base of the mountain's diameter reaches up to six hundred kilometers, and its height exceeds twenty-seven kilometers, more than three times taller than Mount Everest.

Such a massive super mountain, just looking at it is awe-inspiring.

Sitting in the Mars Rover, it's hard for Jiang Cheng not to notice Limpas Mountain.

Primarily because the mountain range is simply too prominent; it's visible clearly from several thousand kilometers away.

Jiang Cheng carefully chose the base location at the edge of Mount Olympus, and the future Mars City will be built here.

Of course, choosing this location isn't just for the view of Limpas Mountain, but for more practical reasons.

Mars often experiences severe sandstorms, and the winds accompanying the storms are many times stronger than on Earth.

If such sandstorms occur on Earth, even houses could be lifted.

If these sandstorms are not prevented, they would pose a huge threat to both the current Mars Base and the future Mars City.

Luckily, thanks to the presence of Limpas Mountain, such massive sandstorms rarely occur, only minor ones at best, which don't cause much impact.

Limpas Mountain blocks countless sandstorms, creating a stable region nearby.

The surrounding area extending for thousands of kilometers is under the protection of Mount Olympus, so severe weather is rare.

Jiang Cheng values the favorable natural conditions here, which are relatively suitable for establishing a city, which is why he chose to start his Mars venture here.

Limpas Mountain will be a distinctive landmark, visible clearly from any corner of Zhou Country.

After a short journey, Jiang Cheng and his group finally arrived at the Mars Base.

From afar, Jiang Cheng saw the buildings of the Mars Base, large constructions made entirely of steel, looking strong and formidable.

The Mars Rover stopped at the edge of the base, and the group got off one after another.

The person in charge of the base walked to the gate of the base and pressed the control button for the gate.

Soon, the base gate slowly opened, and after passing through the isolation zone, Jiang Cheng and the others entered the interior of the base.

Upon entering the Mars Base, Jiang Cheng and the others then took off their spacesuits.
