Start a Base

My lord, an interstellar warship of the explorer fleet was destroyed, and the astronauts died!

Li Yunpeng's relaxed face gradually cooled down, and Lao Fang felt that the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.

"what happened?"

"Returning to the Lord, the commander of the adventurer fleet reported that they found a man-made object in the synchronous orbit of Mars. They thought it was a probe launched by humans before the end of the world, and then sent an unmanned spacecraft on the battleship to capture it and bring it back. Mothership."

"But unexpectedly, there was a miniature hydrogen bomb hidden in that man-made object. When the astronaut opened it, an explosion occurred in an instant. Under the high temperature of 100 million degrees, the astronaut and the spacecraft were gasified and decomposed into pieces. all kinds of particles..."

Li Yunpeng looked at the shocked Wang Shiyan, and suppressed his anger, "Shiyan, you eat first, I'll go out for a while."

"Oh, brother Peng, I'll wait for your return."

Li Yunpeng nodded, and quickly walked towards the command center with Li Dun.

"My lord!"

Everyone who was busy saw Li Yunpeng coming, and immediately stopped their work to say hello.

Li Yunpeng waved his hand and went straight to the conference room.

"Tell me, how could there be a nuclear bomb?"

"My lord, the man-made object wrapped in a miniature nuclear bomb is probably not made by humans."

Li Yunpeng narrowed his eyes slightly. Except for the Moyang Empire, no human being can manufacture a miniature nuclear bomb, disguise it and send it into the orbit of Mars.

That could be the second alien from the South Gate!

"What did Attadi do?"

"My lord, under our surveillance, there shouldn't be a situation where a local spacecraft takes off without being discovered."

"It's not Atadi... Could it be...they are other kind hidden in the solar system?" Li Yunpeng said to himself.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded unanimously, obviously agreeing with Li Yunpeng's guess.

"There is no debris left at the scene, otherwise some clues can be analyzed through the material, and I guess, this man-made hydrogen bomb should have been placed in the Mars synchronous orbit." An aerospace material expert said.

"Hmph, after Atadi's failure, did the kind he hid finally couldn't help but do it?" Li Yunpeng said.

"It's just... Are they doing this just to kill one of our warships? Or do they want to give us a warning?"

Li Yunpeng slapped the table, "Whether he is warning or not, between human beings and them, only life and death can force them to issue a warning to prove that our direction is correct. Mercury and Venus, which are located between Saturn and the sun, can basically be ruled out. They should be hiding on four planets other than Mars or their moons!"

Everyone thought it was true, it must be the interstellar activities of the Moyang Empire that threatened the safety of the aliens from the Nanmen, and that's why the warning was issued.

"Report! Mars synchronous orbit, two more man-made objects have been discovered!"

Li Yunpeng was not surprised, "Hmph, it seems that they are already prepared on Mars, order the explorer fleet to be careful, there may be more than these behind the aliens!"

"yes!"

There are alien arrangements around Mars, so what about the asteroid belt? Li Yunpeng has a bad premonition that Ren Xiao's grandson's curiosity is enough to kill ten thousand cats. If he encounters a similar situation...

It's over! Be cool!

Li Yunpeng immediately ordered the command center to issue an early warning to Ren Xiao, but there was no reply for a long time after the message was sent. It was obvious that he was no longer near the original coordinates, and he didn't know where he went.

"Made, I didn't mean to harm you, I didn't expect this to happen!" Li Yunpeng could only pray in his heart that he was safe.

He seemed to be able to see the excitement of Ren Xiao when he found a man-made object in the empty asteroid belt, and...the expression on his face before the hydrogen bomb exploded...

 …

The explorer fleet found that these two man-made objects were flying towards the fleet's location. Although the shape was different from before, the commander directly issued an order to destroy them.

The laser weapon located at the front of the battleship was charged immediately, the hull trembled slightly, and a beam of high-energy laser instantly hit the unknown man-made object.

Then, the astronauts of the fleet saw a sun-like light ball suddenly light up at the place where the man-made object was originally located.

It was not because the laser beam triggered the hydrogen bomb explosion, but because the shell of the man-made object was destroyed, which automatically triggered the hydrogen bomb detonation device inside.

After two verifications, the explorer team fully confirmed the hidden murderous intent in the Mars synchronous orbit.

Each explorer warship carries ten small unmanned spaceships, and most of them have been sent out at this time, distributed around the fleet, alerting any objects that may approach.

The original landing plan has also been changed, from astronauts following the spacecraft to landing, to automatic equipment landing, fearing that aliens may also hide murderous intentions on the surface of Mars.

A landing spacecraft broke away from the battleship and fell into the atmosphere of Mars.

The explorer fleet commander and all astronauts are closely watching the situation of the spacecraft.

After descending nearly 100 kilometers, the spacecraft started its engine, adjusted its landing attitude, and landed towards the target location.

The whole process was extremely smooth. The spacecraft landed at the designated location and found no abnormalities before opening the hatch, and various intelligent equipment such as the Mars landing vehicle came out of it.

Seeing this situation, the fleet commander breathed a sigh of relief and issued an order to build a permanent base on Mars.

All kinds of robots and construction machinery busy on the surface are working precisely according to the drawings. After laying the foundation, they will assemble and lay the materials that have fallen from the sky one after another. In one day, a human building covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters will appear on Mars. surface.

After a series of tests, the Mars base already has the conditions for human survival.

But the commander still didn't let the astronauts land, and nothing could be seen for a day or two. The Mars base was built first, and then we saw what would happen later.

He immediately reported to the mother star that the first stage of work was completed, and he asked the empire to launch a large amount of materials and equipment.

After the command center received the report, according to the plan, it will successively launch nuclear fusion reactors, space weapons, metal smelting centers, industrial equipment processing centers, and space agricultural components to Mars to support the explorer team in establishing the Martian ecosystem and achieving self-sufficiency. It has been resupplied by transportation across hundreds of millions of kilometers.

For Mars to be an outpost, it must be self-sufficient.

After the basic industrial and weapon systems are perfected, more complex industrial systems will be established on Mars later, and even cutting-edge heavy industries such as the starship production line will also be established on Mars.

Because it is too close to the asteroid belt, if you don't want to reclaim Saturn beyond recognition, then the future demand for massive minerals can only be obtained from the outside.

Ren Xiao's asteroid belt exploration plan is crucial to the Mars industry of the Last Sun Empire.

At this time, he was still wandering around in the asteroid belt like a headless chicken.
