Chapter 19
Just as Cao Guolin thought, before China's Tianwen satellite transmitted a signal to the Mars base, Amerik, far across the ocean, had just made an attempt.
And the language used by Americus is not only Chinese. Johannine, Gaulish, and Chinese were all tried by the Americians, but their signals were like a stone in the sea, without causing even a ripple.
Luo Xiu treated all the signals sent by Blue Star equally and did not reply to them all.
Although they have the same origin as the humans on Blue Star, they are not the same place after all. Luo Xiu still needs to be more cautious when doing things.
He will not establish contact with any force on Blue Star until his base is developed and he cannot gain a leadership position in the dialogue.
Of course, it won't take too long for Luo Xiu to develop his own base. After all, the most important mining machines and two major factories have been built, and the development of the subsequent bases will skyrocket like a rocket.
So after Luo Xiu looked back at the Zhurong, he directly raised his legs and walked towards the manufacturing factory, ignoring the intermittent signals coming from Blue Star.
"He left. It seems he has no intention of contacting us."
After Luo Xiu completely disappeared from the picture returned by the Zhurong, Cao Guolin sat back down in the Huaguo Aerospace Center.
"It seems that this method of contact is unavailable. Let's let the launch plan team speed up their research. Judging from the information sent back from the sea, Amerik has already begun the process of selecting launch personnel."
America and other countries can know the situation in China's aerospace center, and China can of course know the inside story of America through various circumstances.
Before seeking contact with Mars, Cao Guolin had already learned about Americ's actions.
"Are they already selecting personnel?" Gou Wen, the leader of the information team and a former classmate of Cao Guolin, heard the news for the first time. "So soon? What kind of personnel are they planning to select?"
"I don't know about this for now, but our country in China..." When Cao Guolin said this, he glanced sideways at the joint observation group in the distance, and then whispered, "I was going to do it later.
I’m going to tell you something, so since you’re here, let’s talk about it first.”
"After research and decision, we are ready to send a linguist, a biologist, and a researcher from our center."
After Cao Guolin finished speaking, as a member of the research center and a comrade-in-arms of Cao Guolin for many years, Gou Wen naturally understood the significance of this personnel mix.
"Yes, this combination is very reasonable." Gou Wen nodded and continued, "We cannot participate in the selection of the first two majors, but among the staff of our center, do you have any good candidates?"
The commander-in-chief of this space center is Cao Guolin. As the chief engineer, his suggestions are of course very important.
Facing Gou Wen's question, Cao Guolin smiled slightly and said, "We'll talk about it during the meeting."
When Gou Wen saw Cao Guolin like this, he knew that the other party must already have a candidate, but since his old comrade didn't tell him, he certainly wouldn't continue to ask.
After all, although this is China's aerospace center, its external name is indeed the Blue Star United Aerospace Center, so there is a large observation group, and the crowds are mixed.
On Mars, Luo Xiu, who had just walked into the manufacturing center, certainly didn't know that the Blue Star was discussing who would go to Mars where he was. At this time, he was standing on the production line of the universal robot, watching the maintenance robot deliver the iron ingots.
Upper assembly line.
At present, since there is no large-scale laying of conveyor belts, most transmission tasks still need to be completed by robots.
Since maintenance robots are too costly and more specialized, Luo Xiu is also planning to use cheaper general-purpose robots to replace the maintenance robots' current field operations.
After general-purpose robots are produced, the excavation of copper mines, ice layers, and ore transportation by automatic mining machines will be left to the hands of this line of robots.
"How long does it take to produce a universal robot now?" Luo Xiu, who was standing on the production line, looked at the parts being produced in front of him and asked the base's control system through his exoskeleton helmet.
"One can be produced in an hour."
After hearing the reply from the base, Luo Xiu shook his head slightly and said, "It's too slow. Is it because the copper mine's output is insufficient?"
Of course, the production of general-purpose robots cannot entirely rely on iron ore. In addition to iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, glass and other resources must also keep up.
"Yes, Commander, the supply of copper mines is insufficient."
In the past, the production of automatic mining machines consumed almost all the copper ore in the base. Now, the copper ore used to produce general-purpose robots and the next automatic mining machine are all freshly smelted from the smelting plant.
"Okay, let's do one per hour for the time being, but after production, send them directly to the copper mine to increase the copper mine's production first."
Luo Xiu is not too worried about the temporary shortage of copper mines. Both robots and the next automatic mining machine are already in production, and the copper mine's output problem will be solved soon.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the No. 26 maintenance robot at the ice excavation site has brought back a load of Martian ice."
"Have you come back yet?"
After just deciding on the distribution of universal robots, Luo Xiu finally received another piece of good news.
The reason why it is said to be good news is because the water source is too important to Luo Xiu, more important than ores and technology.
Because if the ice layer was not discovered, Luo Xiu would not be able to obtain water directly from Mars, and would not be able to electrolyze oxygen.
In this way, both the development of the Mars base and the advancement of science and technology will all come to a standstill because Luo Xiu cannot survive here.
"Tell No. 26 to go directly to the Life Factory. I'll be there right away."
After saying that, Luo Xiu took another look at the three assembly lines being built at the same time in the manufacturing factory, and then walked out of the manufacturing factory.
At the same time, the No. 26 robot, which was dragging a flat plate of ice, had returned to the Mars base, and the slightly brown ice on the flat truck was completely included in the screen of the Zhurong.
And with the appearance of ice, humans on Blue Star also began to speculate about it, 'What is that? Is it an ore?'
'Why do I feel like ice?'
‘Ice? It’s really a bit like it. The previous popular science said that Mars has ice. I’m not deceived.’
'What is this alien doing with the ice?'
'Upstairs, since the opponent wears exoskeleton armor, it means that it is not a silicon-based creature. If the opponent is a carbon-based creature like us, water is of course necessary. And in addition to survival, water also has other functions
