    Chapter 115: I seem to have arrived on the false Mars (Part 1) Lonely, desolate, and empty.  This is a vast and desolate world. Standing at any point here and looking around, wherever you look, you can only see the dark red sky, the red desert with no grass growing, the same bare mountain peaks, and the diffuse  To the desolation and loneliness of the whole world.  If you are in an ordinary desert, you may also try to find the wonderful scenery of camel caravans and oasis.  But in this desert, there is no trace of life. Not even a gerbil, a scorpion or even a thorn can exist at all.  ¡ª¡ªThis is a true sea of ??death, a forbidden area for all known carbon-based life!  The reason is simple. This is not located anywhere on the earth, but in the Ashidaria Plain in the northern hemisphere of Mars.  ??A dead planet that may have once had life but has long since disappeared. Perhaps it has not been able to breed life since ancient times!  This is an ancient hard planet with a mottled surface. The brightly colored landforms were formed relatively recently, while the dimly colored landforms were formed in ancient times. In ancient times that humans cannot imagine, the landform trauma left by meteorite impacts is still there today.  Found everywhere.  ??Among them, most of the northern hemisphere of Mars, which was once a vast ocean, is darker in color and the surface morphology is formed more recently because lava erupted from volcanoes has filled in the original pits and pits, making most places relatively flat.  The southern hemisphere of Mars, which has never been covered by oceans, is brighter in color and has a higher terrain, just like the back of the moon. The surface is full of craters due to the impact of meteorites from ancient times.  Because the surface soil and rocks of Mars contain a large amount of iron oxide, the entire Mars is a rusty world, as if it has been soaked in blood, cold and dry.  Gorgeous red is the only dominant color in this world: red clay hills, red amber wilderness, reddish-brown Grand Canyon and reddish-gray lava slopes, red-black Olympus Mons, the highest peak in the solar system (more than  Everest (twice the size of Mount Everest), Canyon Mariner, which was once mistaken for the Martian Canal by modern astronomers. Of course, it is more of an endless red desert.  The Ashidaria Plain in front of us is a dry delta near the ancient coastline of Mars. Except for a few standing rock mountains, its terrain is very flat. This is not only due to the deposition of ancient rivers, but also to the dust storms of hundreds of millions of years.  The result of flushing.  Although the sun imparts light and heat to the Ashidaria plain just like on the earth, the long distance and the thin air that cannot retain heat still make the average temperature of this alien desert even lower.  Even under the scorching sun, it makes people shiver more than the Alaska Peninsula on Earth.  ¡ª¡ªUnder normal circumstances, as long as anyone stands on this endless red-brown land, the only thing he can feel is the endless desolation, cold and dryness, and the deep despair caused by the superposition of these three.  .  However, at the edge of this silent and boring arid and barren world, on this Asidaria plain, one can still see the few traces of civilization on Mars: the ground habitat cabin left by the American Mars landing expedition.  And the only human resident on Mars currently: American astronaut Mark Watney.  A botanist and engineer working for NASA, and the first unlucky Martian victim in history.  Not long ago, he just became the first people to walk on Mars.  Now, he will also become the first person to be buried on Mars.  He originally came here with five teammates in a spacecraft to study the growth of plants under the gravity conditions of Mars.  However, due to a sudden Martian storm, the return spacecraft was in danger of being overturned by the wind. They were forced to abandon the mission midway and evacuate in an emergency spacecraft.  What's even more terrible is that Mark Watney encountered an accident in the storm again and was mistaken for death by his teammates. Then he was left alone in this red desert with no grass. In this place 240 million kilometers away from the earth, 6 people  The astronomical unit has become the cosmic version of Robinson Crusoe.  The most terrifying thing is that the environment of Mars is far harsher than any desert island on Earth. Not to mention food and housing, even water and breathable air need to be made by the victims themselves.  Fortunately, the habitat cabin left on Mars can produce oxygen and has a water circulation system installed.  Unfortunately, the remaining food supplies around Mark Watney will not last until the day when the Earth rescue team may arrive.  ¡ª¡ªIn other words, if the oxygenator breaks down, he will suffocate to death.  If the water circulation device breaks down, he will die of thirst.  If the habitat leaks, he'll blow up.  Even if none of this happens, he will starve to death after running out of food.  In addition, he also cut off communication links with the earth. ?However, even in the face of such a desperate situation, the tenacious Mark Watney is not ready to sit still on Mars.  After getting through the initial period of depression, Mark Watney, who had recovered from his injury, regained his energy and decided to rely on his knowledge of botanists and mechanical engineers, and his own wisdom and hands, to rely on his own strength on Mars.  Farming to survive, playing a house game with life as a bet on this barren red planet - this means that he must use all his imagination, make the best use of all the materials at hand, and build the habitat  Every inch of surplus ground inside has been transformed into a greenhouse; water is produced by separating surplus fuel and burning hydrogen; mixing one's own and teammates' feces with Martian soil for growing potatoes However, when a man wearing a space suit  Mr. Mark Watney, holding a small shovel, was digging hard into the Martian soil under the dim Martian sun and with a bone-chilling chill. He never thought that he was not the only one on Mars at this time.  people!  Just behind a rock a few hundred meters away, there were three other Earthlings, quietly watching his every move.  Moreover, there are still three "ordinary" earthlings who are not wearing spacesuits and are only wearing ordinary spring and autumn casual clothes - Even though this is at a temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius, ultraviolet radiation is strong, and the atmospheric pressure is only equivalent to 1% of the earth's  One on Mars.  ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù "I feel so bored! My dear  Brother, how long are we going to spy on that guy shoveling soil? " Behind a reddish-brown Martian rock, Grete, a silver-haired girl wearing a blue printed dress and a straw hat, stood on the rugged gravel-filled small road.  On the hillside, Wang Qiu complained to Wang Qiu with a listless look on his face, "I almost fell asleep while watching" "Huh? After watching such an inspirational space Robinson Crusoe, don't you have a little bit?  Do you have any insights?" After hearing Grete's complaint, Wang Qiu, who came here with the silver-haired twins, couldn't help but frowned for a moment, "even though he was left alone in a foreign country, he still didn't give up.  , not despair, but work hard and be optimistic" "Please, haven't we seen the original Desert Island Robinson before? Although he was dead before we met.  Another one of the sisters, Hansel, who was dressed the same as Gretel, interrupted and said, "Remember, we dug a hole and buried his body with our own hands! I have to say, this guy is really dirty.  Smells" She frowned and muttered.  ¡ª¡ªWang Qiu suddenly became angry when he heard this: It¡¯s so embarrassing to talk about the story world that he has traveled through with someone who is also a time traveler "and I feel that I am more inspirational than him - he is just  He was accidentally dumped on Mars, and he still had assets worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars at his disposal. There were so many good people on earth who were worried about him and racked their brains" Hansel continued with a sigh.  Said, "and what about us? We were abandoned by our parents when we were born, and then sold to the red light district by the orphanage. It was already miserable enough to be reduced to child prostitutes, but who would have thought that we would be sold to an underground torture club and end up in a  In the hands of a sadistic maniac who cannibalizes human flesh, we were almost impaled, grilled, or cut into pieces alive Before we were rescued by you, big brother, no kind-hearted person had ever given us any warmth, only the deep malice of the entire world.  . This is not crazy, it should prove that we are stronger than that astronaut!" Listening to Hansel's self-pity, Wang Qiu was speechless, while Gretel was annoyed.  He reached out and patted Hansel on the head, "Sister! Those things have happened in the past many years, why do you still mention it now?" But, next, Gretel also turned around,  He continued to complain to Wang Qiu, "but, dear brother, this place is indeed too boring. The astronaut usually hides in the habitat cabin, and we can't see it at all. Occasionally he comes out to work a few times,  There¡¯s no special performance. Even Mars feels so fake! It doesn¡¯t feel like you¡¯re in space at all. It¡¯s like standing in a studio!¡± She curled her lips and raised her feet on the land of Mars!  A few "dong dong" kicks stirred up a patch of brick-red fine dust.  In response to this, Wang Qiu could only smile bitterly again.  "Thisit seems that we are not originally on Mars in the modern real world" ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù  ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ps: The plot line of the new book was a bit undecided for a while, so I¡¯m going toBefore starting a new book, write a few popular science articles, just like I wrote "Where Should We Time Travel to" before.  It is currently planned to write "Socioeconomic Issues in the Martial Arts World" first.  The preliminary outline is as follows, and I would like to refer to the readers' opinions: Chapter 1, the super-informed waiter and storyteller - has this world already entered the Internet information age?  Chapter 2: Flying around - super-fast heroes riding Pegasus and flying in spaceships!  Chapter 3: Magic weapon and panacea with unlimited shelf life?  Aren't you afraid of rust and mold?  Chapter 4: A brief analysis of prices, finance and currency in the martial arts world Chapter 5: How to build a national gang in the pre-industrial era?  Chapter 6: The court in the world of martial arts is so miserable (Dragon and Eight Tribes, the Xixia Army easily reached Suzhou) Chapter 7: On the similarities between sects and consortiums.  Chapter 8: Public security issues in the martial arts world.  Chapter 9: How to construct a rationalized martial arts world - this is simply a magical world!
