"Teacher, I really envy you. You can go to Mars to explore with everyone while staying in Blue Star. Hey, I don't have this opportunity."

Seeing that Xu You had returned to his normal demeanor, Lin Shi said regretfully beside Xu You.

During this period, it was not that Lin Shi did not continue to practice the control of the Mars robot, but because these operations were too difficult, Lin Shi was still unable to complete these control tasks perfectly.

Severly has basically mastered this ability, but due to various reasons, Severly still did not participate in the first batch of Mars landing missions.

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely go to Mars in person in the future, then you will have a chance, Lin Shi. Of course, the premise is that you have to pass the Martian astronaut test."

Hearing what Xu You said, Lin Shi couldn't help being happy.

"Teacher, that's great. Don't worry, I will definitely pass the test."

After finishing a day's work, Xu You didn't go home with Lu Zhiyao, but directly lived in the office.

In order to carry out the Mars exploration mission more smoothly, the entire team will not work in China's regular working hours, but will choose a more suitable time to work according to the weather on Mars.

Because of this, Xu You needs to adapt to the team's work and rest schedule, and can no longer follow his usual habits.

In order to be able to control the Mars robot at any time, Xu You also chose to live directly in his office, which would save some time and allow him to perform some temporary tasks at any time.

Lu Zhiyao naturally understood Xu You's decision. After all, this was an exploration mission to Mars, and Lu Zhiyao would provide Xu You with the greatest support and understanding.

In the early morning of Jijing time, the astronauts on Mars have already got up and are ready to start their day's mission.

After a good night's rest, everyone has recovered their energy and is ready for work.

Xu You also appeared beside everyone on time, put on the space suit, and came out of the Mars base with everyone, ready to walk towards the target.

Due to the special environment of Mars and the fact that it is much farther away from the blue star than the moon, there will be no lunar rover-like equipment in this operation, and the astronauts will walk on Mars with their own legs.

"Old Xu, why didn't we bring the Mars rover this time? You can't go too far on Mars with just your legs."

Hu Shucheng and Xu You walked side by side, and discussed with Xu You.

"In fact, we already have the ability to manufacture Mars rovers, but transportation is a problem. After all, the Mars rovers are too big to be transported by aerospace fighters. The limited space of aerospace fighters has been reserved for the Mars base. If a small The speed of the Mars rover is not as fast as ours, so there is no need to carry it."

After a pause, Xu You continued:

"In addition, this is also related to the content of our mission this time. We are mainly looking for traces of life on Mars this time, and the places where life may appear are all very close to our base, no more than five kilometers away. So in fact, for this mission, we don’t need to use equipment like a Mars rover.”

"Well, that's true. Of course, I think there is another important reason. Even if this Martian spacesuit is light enough, walking is not much different from the one on Blue Star."

Although the Mars space suit itself has a certain quality, but because the gravity on Mars is only 38% of that of Blue Star, this makes everyone not feel that the weight is very heavy.

Before they knew it, everyone had arrived at the first test point.

"It's 648 meters away from our Mars base. It seems that our walking speed is relatively fast."

In this operation, several Martian robots opened the way in front, and the astronauts only needed to follow behind, which made it relatively easy for them to carry out the mission.

After arriving at the first test point, everyone took out the equipment and prepared for testing.

"Looking at the appearance of the land here, it doesn't look like life is easy to exist." Hu Shucheng said.

Hu Shucheng's words are true. Compared with the desert of Blue Star, this place looks even more desolate, and it really doesn't look like a place where there are traces of life.

"You can't tell anything with the naked eye, and everything depends on advanced equipment." Xu You said with a smile.

After everyone set up the instrument, they began to analyze the soil in this part.

These measuring instruments are the most advanced measuring instruments of Blue Star, which are much more advanced than the previous Mars rovers and can discover a lot of finer information.

However, after analyzing this part of the Martian soil, the results are quite disappointing.

"There are indeed no signs of life, and only some organic matter was found." Xu You said.

What makes everyone a little happy is that, judging from the composition of the soil, the Martian soil still has a higher content of organic matter than the lunar soil.

In terms of the ratio of elements, the soil of Mars also has a higher potential for the birth of life, and it is entirely possible to transform it into a human gathering place.

Just when everyone wanted to go to the next place for measurement, Xu You suddenly said:

"Let's dig here, the composition of the subsurface may be very different from the surface."

Hearing what Xu You said, everyone didn't have any opinions.

"Okay, let's dig here first. We have these robots, and it will be easier to dig."

With that said, everyone commanded these Mars robots to start digging in several surrounding locations.

This time, Xu You did not release the control of the Martian robot again, but personally participated in the soil excavation work.

Because Xu You felt that if he personally participated in it, it would be easier to discover some hidden clues and find secrets that others could not easily discover.

Xu You controls the robot, excavating places where he thinks there may be traces of life, and constantly changing the direction of excavation according to changes in the environment.

Relying on the power of the Mars robot, Xu You didn't need to expend too much physical strength, and the digging process seemed relatively easy.

Before he knew it, Xu You had already dug several meters of soil. This kind of speed is completely beyond the reach of normal human astronauts.

"Old Xu, don't dig too deep, or you won't be able to get up in a while."

Hu Shucheng advised Xu You through the radio communication equipment.
