Chapter 727 The Smell of Martian Air

Taohuayuan No. 1 Biosphere Research Base.

Today is the second day of coming to Mars, the morning of Mars.They just got up, on Earth, it's five o'clock in the afternoon.

In the central command room, eight people are sitting around the conference table.This is the first meeting held on Mars.

As the representative, who took off the protective clothing and entered the Taohuayuan No. 1 biosphere first?

This is the issue under discussion.

The experiment has a certain degree of unknownness and danger, and they have to be cautious.

"Let me lead the team out." Hua Yan said.

She is the only Chinese woman among the eight, she looks like her name, a sonorous rose, and is also the deputy captain of the team.

As an ordinary astronomy student, astronomy research is her hobby, and she wants to travel in space.I just want to travel in space, and the cost is not something ordinary people can afford.

When the Marching Ant Group began to recruit Mars volunteers, she signed up and stood out the most and became one of the first eight lucky ones.

The girl is uniquely attentive and resilient, complements Pei Jie, and has leadership skills that make her a deputy captain.The prestige in the team is second only to Captain Pei Jie.

"No way."

Pei Jie flatly rejected Huayan's proposal.

"As the captain, I should take the lead. Next, I will select two players from you to the Taohuayuan No. 1 Biosphere."

"As the captain and the commander of the base, you can't take risks." Hua Yan said.

"I agree."

A player next to him raised his hand in approval.

Muhanked, Arab, with brown skin and piercing glasses.Muhanked with a smile at the corner of his mouth, raising his hands.

"As the captain, you should be in charge of the base, not taking risks. I can take the team out."

Pei Jie smiled directly when he saw Muhanked.

"It's useless to approve it. It's not the time to vote. I am the captain. I have to listen to my arrangements. Huayan stays. Tang Yuntao and Castelin go out with me. While I am out, the rest listen to Huayan instruction."

Pei Jie draws the conclusion directly.

The first group of people who went out was exposed to the Martian atmosphere for the first time, and the risk factor was even higher.Because outside is a completely unknown environment, no one knows what will happen.

"Captain, can I go out instead of Yun Tao?" Muhanked said.

"Want to grab my place? No way."

The player who looked a little honest next to him heard Muhanked wanting to replace him and immediately refused.

He seems to have the thinnest body, but the statistics of various trainings are second only to Pei Jie among the eight of them. He is just a little introverted and can't be the deputy captain.

"Don't fight, it's so decided, now I'm going to prepare for going out." Pei Jie decided.

At the end of the meeting, the three of them made preparations for the outbound passage of the base. Huayan could only take the place of Pei Jie and sit in the central command post of the town, paying attention to their plans to go out.

In the Flying Ant Space Center far away on the earth, all the experts are paying attention to their going out.

For the first time in human history, unprotected exposure to and survival in an alien environment is a milestone event.

If it succeeds, it proves that planetary transformation is feasible, and in the future, it will provide infinite help to human interstellar exploration.

Chen Mo is also paying attention to the status of Taohuayuan 1. This test is related to whether his Mars transformation project is completed. Even if nothing happened to him, he still has to watch it.

Pei Jie, Tang Yuntao, and Castelin were already waiting.

The three of them didn't wear protective clothing, they only wore daily training uniforms, but just in case, they all carried a simple oxygen cylinder with the thickness of an arm on their backs.

Outside the gate, there is an emergency rover and three robots waiting, ready to carry out rescue.

The test must do its utmost to ensure the safety of the Martian volunteers.

"We are adjusting the atmospheric pressure of the exit cabin. The cabin door will open in one minute. Please prepare..." Mars' artificial intelligence'yinghuo' reminded.

As soon as the words fell, the three of Pei Jie slowly felt the difference in the cabin.

The atmospheric pressure in their cabin is changing, and the atmospheric pressure is getting lower, making them feel a little tight in their chest, just like people standing in a plateau.

They have trained in the plateau, have the experience of survival in the plateau, and quickly adapt to changes in atmospheric pressure.

One minute, it feels a bit slow at this moment.

Finally, when the atmospheric pressure in the cabin was the same as the outside, with the beep of Didi, the artificial intelligence once again determined that the cabin could go out.

Pei Jie was a little nervous, this door closed two worlds.

This is also a major event in human history.

He believes that in the command post of the earth, countless astronomers and biologists are waiting for what will happen next.

In the base command center, Huayan and others were also nervously watching the situation of the three, waiting for the hatch to open.

"Are you ready?"

Pei Jie put his hand on the handle of the hatch and looked at Tang Yuntao and Castelin.His heartbeat is also accelerating, and he feels like it jumps to his throat. Fortunately, his psychological quality is sufficient to quickly recover himself.

"Ready."

The two took a deep breath and nodded together.

Click!!

The sound of the mechanical lock turning of the cabin door made the hearts of three people beat fiercely.

Like a chicken with a broken shell, the hatch was slowly opened.

A breeze rushed into the cabin, and the three of them felt different temperatures in the air, a bit like walking out of the air-conditioned room in summer.

Stepping out of the hatch, the sight of Taohuayuan No. 1 biosphere unreservedly unfolded before you.

There is still a special smell remaining in the air, like the smell of soil, which is different from the air of the earth, like the smell of water in a new city.

It's okay!

It succeeded.

The pictures of the three were sent back to the research base command center through surveillance cameras, and everyone cheered.

At the same time, the command center of the flying ant space base, in the field, all the biological experts and astronomers who saw this scene were ecstatic.

This picture will be recorded in the annals of human development.

They clearly witnessed this moment.

"What's the discomfort?" Pei Jie quickly recovered and looked at Tang Yuntao and Castelin.

The two who were still thinking about the smell of the air recovered and shook their heads at the same time.

"There is no discomfort, like being on a plateau, except for the chest a little stuffy, no other problems, the body is a little light, I feel able to jump quite high." Tang Yuntao checked his body carefully, and began to describe: "These feelings are also in the base. The only difference is It’s the air that has a special smell."

"I also smell a special smell." Castelin nodded.

"I can smell it too." Pei Jie said.

"What's the taste?"

There was a voice from the three earphones, which was directly asked by the command center of the earth, and the voice was a little nervous.

"It's hard to describe, mixed with a touch of soil."

"The air is not sweet anyway." Pei Jie joked, and a little serious: "It feels like you are new to a city and drank local water. The taste is different from the water in your hometown.

After the report, Pei Jie once again focused on the surrounding environment: "Walk around now, don't go too far, adapt to the new environment first."

They all have ropes on them, and they are not too far apart from each other.

Now that they have just arrived in this new environment, they are not yet sure that there are other discomforts.

In the laboratory, Chen Mo was also paying attention to their condition, and Mo Nui passed the physical data of the three to Chen Mo.The watch on their body can monitor their health data at any time.

"Their heart rate is normal, their temperature is normal, and their bodies are not abnormal at the moment."

"Continue to observe." Chen Mo nodded slightly, relatively calm.It was just the beginning, but in any case, seeing them safe and sound, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a good beginning.
