Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

After seeing Director Li leave, Lu Zhou took the elevator to the underground 2-Layer of the main building of the Institute of Advanced Studies. Through the access control hidden in the sample room, he entered the unknown underground 3-Layer.

That is, the underground laboratory.

The system rewards his wreckage is basically placed here, under the care of Xiao AI.

Almost as soon as he had just stepped into the lab, a four-rotor drone with a display swayed and flew around him, flying two rounds around him.

Looking at the sticky Xiao AI, Lu Zhou immediately straight to the point.

“How is the situation with ‘reptiles’?”

The so-called “reptile” refers to the “reptile” all-terrain remote-controlled exploration vehicle, which is one of the samples that he rewarded when he completed the mission at the previous stage.

Unlike the clothes woven with carbon nanofiber materials, the technological content of this gadget is obviously much higher.

According to the description in the specification, its communication radius is theoretically up to 3 astronomical units. Even if Mars and Earth are in the farthest relative position, the terminal on his side can successfully receive the full image from the “crawler”. The signal sent by the remote-controlled exploration vehicle is at most a weak signal. At most, the delay is high, and there is no way to control it in real time.

Very interested in its communication device, Lu Zhou tried to disassemble this thing, but unfortunately, there was never a non-violent disassembly method, and the manual also clearly wrote a built-in self-destruction program. Words that may lead to unpredictable consequences.

Obviously this stuff is probably a type of thing with a nitrogen shield.

Either use a versatile scanner to get it, or you can only use it.

Fortunately, unlike the one-time use of non-rechargeable nitrogen shields, according to the description, this stuff can be recharged by solar energy and geothermal energy. When the energy is low, it will automatically enter the low-power standby mode, waiting for the environment. Restart when appropriate.

Considering that the Moon Space Station has been deployed, the exploration of the moon’s resources is not a costly thing. This “crawler” is naturally used by Lu Zhou on Mars.

In this way, not only can you prepare for resource exploration for future colonial activities, but you can also go to the “ruins” of the new Virginia colonial station to see what happened there.

Xiao AI: [I have successfully landed on Mars! Feel free to start! (?)g]

Lu Zhou nodded: “Then start now.”

Xiao AI: [Follow! ()

The terminal of the “Crawler” all-terrain survey vehicle is a heavy laptop computer equipped with a signal transmission and reception as large as a half-seat water tank. The signal transmitting and receiving device, which has been installed by Lu Zhou next to the water tank at the top of the Institute of Advanced Research, is still quite in place.

But then again, even if someone feels strange, there is no right to investigate here.

Even if you don’t look at the important role played by Nanjing Institute of Advanced Research in the field of controlled fusion and aerospace, it is not an easy task to find the secrets of the key cooperation and research institutes of the Air Force and Naval Equipment Department. .

At present, the terminal of the “Crawler” survey vehicle has been connected to the host of Xiao AI.

Five minutes after Lu Zhou’s order was placed, a black-painted prismatic metal box made a leaking sound on Mars, tens of millions of kilometers away.

Then, the shell on one side of the box slowly opened. A remote control car with a size less than half a person and a horned corner was opened. The tires that rolled three-and-a-half-high were opened under the preset command. Facing the dust storm that covered the sky, headed for the site of the new Virginia sign marked on the map.

At the same time, Lu Zhou, who was working in the underground lab, first made himself a cup of coffee, then went to the lab table and sat down to open the survey vehicle control terminal on the table.

Quietly waiting for the countdown of the communication response to complete, and soon as the signal floated from tens of millions of kilometers, the line-by-line dialog popped out of the screen.

[“Lightning” escape cabin is open! 】

[“Crawler” wakes up successfully! 】

[Terminal connection is successful! 】

As the last dialog popped up, a clear picture quickly came from the screen, and Lu Zhou sipped coffee while watching the reptiles heading for the harsh climate.

It’s obviously not realistic to have a delay of several minutes of remote control. This little guy has a simple “tool-level” level of intelligence, combined with pre-set instructions, basically can be used throughout the journey. Under the condition of manipulation, complete the inspection mission in the mission list.

The person sitting in front of the control terminal only needs to look at the signal sent by the delay for a few minutes or even a dozen minutes to correct the “variables” that may appear in the mission.

In fact, it is okay to give this work to Xiao AI, but Lu Zhou is not too lazy to this extent, let alone he is also very curious, the life-sustaining unit that embodies North America’s top artificial biology circle technology. There is no such thing as a hole in it.

Without waiting for a long time, the outline of the life support unit has been reflected in the yellow sand of the sky, and it is reflected in the field of the “crawler” main camera.

Looking at the horror of this “relic”, Lu Zhou recalled the concept map published by Space-X on the official website, and couldn’t help but swear for half a second for Ares.

After the escape capsule is launched, the entire life support unit is substantially semi-abandoned. The remaining power is probably enough for the life-sustaining unit to stand by for a while, but this time will not last long.

The return capsule will carry away the remaining oxygen and methane as much as possible before leaving, and the jetted tail flame will burn the outer casing of the life support unit.

When the “reptiles” pass through the peripheral planting area, Lu Zhou can clearly observe through the side lens that the “vegetable greenhouse” that has been spread on all sides has been basically blown up by the high-temperature airflow, and the plastic cultivation vessels are mostly buried by sand.

However, these are all minor problems. After all, a few days after the sandstorm occurred, after confirming that the dust storm was global, the colonists had already recycled all the crops here, and the entire planting area was basically abandoned. status.

Opened to the garage door, an antenna like a tentacles touched the door, and the program preloaded into the life support unit was quickly activated, unlocking the garage door.

As the gate slowly opened, the reptiles started the lighting of the roof, and they swayed in.

Through the screen of the terminal, looking at the undefended life support unit, Lu Zhou couldn’t help but feel a bit of emotion.

The “fire” plan was frustrated by the attack of unknown forces. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that it was CIA, but did not expect to study the stagnant artificial biology circle technology, and actually returned to him in this way.

Perhaps this is the so-called fate or reincarnation.

Although he does not believe in these things.

Passing through the warehouse area, I went straight to the experimental area and watched the livelihood garbage piled up in plastic bags on the ground. Lu Zhou’s mind probably restored the last few weeks of the scene.

In order to save livelihood resources and valuable energy, the colonists have moved from the livelihood area, and the food and shelter are next to the only communication terminal that can contact BFSspaceship.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou can’t help but be a little funny.

I don’t know if these escapers got on the Xiaguang number and found that they could take a shower on the Xiaguang number carrying the cabin. I don’t know what kind of expression would be.

Before coming to the lab console, the antenna that was previously connected to the access control system came out again from the reptile’s casing and clicked in front of the console’s chassis.

Soon, the off-screen is lit, and a line-and-line progress bar appears on it.

As the progress bar is completed, the data that has been packaged and only picked up is taken over by the reptile and passed back to Lu Zhou, tens of millions of kilometers away.

Quickly over the files presented on the screen of the control terminal, Lu Zhou gradually converges on the frivolous expression on the face, and there is a serious expression in the expression.

Even, a touch of surprise.

“……interesting.”
