The scientists on the shuttle also found that they lost contact with the “Hope”, no matter how they adjusted the quantum code.
It felt like a mysterious power cut off the information they sent out.
What made everyone panic was that they couldn’t contact other shuttles even if they were not far away from each other.
“General Joe, what should we do? Our information sent out had been cut off by a mysterious signal,” scientists asked Joe.
Joe was anxious too. But he still calmed down and directed, “I remember that we are using quantum communication technology. Could it be that quantum transmission is not available here?”
“It’s impossible. The detectors that we sent before also uses quantum communication technology,” a scientist shook his head and replied.
Another scientist explained, “There is another possibility that the previously launched quantum satellite is broken. But the satellite we have developed could be used at least 20 years.”
Joe frowned and had no idea what they should do under the circumstances.
Joe said, “There should be no danger outside. Let’s go outside first and set up tents for the workers. Once the “Hope” found that they couldn’t contact us, they would come to save us.”
The leading scientist nodded and added, “According to the previous data analysis, there are no alien creatures on Mars. But we have to be careful about the Martian sand explosion, which is much stronger than those on the Earth.”
Joe nodded and said, “Ok, let’s go.”
Although they couldn’t send out the signals, but could receive wireless in a short distance.
Joe contacted with other scientists via wireless communication.
Joe and his people were in charge of an iron oxide mining area. Everyone came out of the shuttle and stepped on the sand layer of Mars, feeling strange.
The gravity of the Earth is 2. 67 times that of Mars, so everyone standing on the ground of Mars felt light as if they could jump four or five meters high.
The yellow sand layer was thick, and people had no feeling of sinking.
After the first person stepped out, others also walked out of the shuttle with weapons. They didn’t see any moving subjects. It was daytime, and the sun shined in the desert.
Joe told the ten soldiers around him, “Five people a group. Your mission is to drive the rover to the other two mining areas and tell them don’t worry and complete the mission first. We will repair the communication equipment as soon as possible.”
“Yes!” ten people nodded one after another.
“The five of you are going to the monazite mining area. This is the route map. It is about fifty miles away from us. if you don’t get lost or encounter obstacles on the way, you will get there before the sunset.”
“The five of you are going to the bastnaesite mining area, which is about thirty miles away. I wish you success.”
The scientist passed a map to a soldier.
The soldiers on the other shuttles also came out and gathered.
Joe ordered, “Set up the tents first. We have to complete before it gets dark.”
Then the hundreds of soldiers returned to the shuttle to take the tent.
When people were getting busy, it was getting dark. On the Mars ground, dunes were surging rapidly towards the three major mining areas.
After tents were set up, Joe ordered everyone to take a rest in the tent. At the same time, scientists stayed on the shuttles to repair the communication equipment.
There was a small air system inside the tent, which could support the normal breathing of dozens of people.
The temperature in the night on Mars was very low, so Joe didn’t ask people to be on duty outside.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was sleeping well, Joe and all soldiers in his tent suddenly opened their eyes and sat up from the blankets.
They felt a sense of danger.
Pop… pop…
A light sound rang out. Everyone heard of the sound, which came out of the tent and seemed not far from the tent.
They looked at each other and felt horrible. Joe was speechless at this moment.
After a few seconds, everyone’s tied nerves were suddenly broken by a scream.
Joe subconsciously grabbed the pistol beside him and said, “Go out and see what’s going on. Wake up all of them.”
Joe stood up, and s thrilling scene suddenly appeared in front of him.
