“Chase, there are many little monsters attached to the shuttle.” After the shuttle flew, Josh Xu looked at the shuttle’s image on the screen and immediately saw countless monsters clinging to the shuttle and not leaving. They were going to enter The Hope with them.
Chase Lu glanced at the screen and said: “Leave them alone. I will speed up and burn them all to ashes.”
They were not out of the Martian atmosphere, as long as The Hope reached a certain speed, the whole shell of the shuttle could be burned red, and the monsters attached to it would undoubtedly be burned to death.
When the shuttle had reached a thousand meters, they finally heard a tremendous noise coming from Mars and could see five huge mushroom clouds hurtling toward the sky toward the Antarctic Pole.
The simultaneous detonation of five Gauss cannons at the South Pole of Mars would instantly change the planet’s magnetic field and deflect its orbit by several degrees.
Chase estimated that it would take Mars at least 50 or 60 years to repair and correct its orbit.
“Attention: all shuttles! Adjust the anti-gravity system. Accelerate the departure from Mars, and burn all the monsters clinging to your shuttles!”
Chase gave the order to accelerate and then adjusted the anti-gravity system first.
Soon, the whole shuttle fiercely speeded up to 50 kilometers per second. Under the significant friction with the Martian atmosphere, the entire shuttle shell was burned red.
Then they all saw on the screen that the monsters, clinging to the shuttle fell in succession.
Although they were not all burned to death, they were all driven away from the shuttle.
Then Chase ordered to slow down again, reducing the speed to 20 kilometers per second.
If the speed was too fast, the shell of the shuttle couldn’t stand burning.
When the shuttle entered the gate of The Hope, everyone felt relieved.
When they got off the shuttle, they saw the fire and excitement in each other’s eyes.
When they thought of facing those horrible monsters on Mars before, countless people’s eyes were still full of despair.
Until this moment, they just had a little bit vigor.
Although Chase led everyone to escape from Mars successfully, he was still in a bad mood.
He gave Dasin Ding the box with the Mars monster and went to the captain’s room alone.
As for Josh and others, and those fighters, Chase let them go back to rest first.
At this time in the captain’s room, Phil Du was waiting for him there.
“Go and get me something to eat.” As soon as Chase entered the captain’s room and saw Jayne Lin and others concerned, he told her that. He had not eaten for a long time since he had been to Mars, and that Chase had just drunk some water in the shuttle when he came back.
After Chase went to Mars, Jayne and others all asked to enter the captain’s room and wait for Chase, because only the captain’s room had a live video of Mars.
However, only Jayne and Reba Chen were qualified to come to the captain’s room.
One was Chase’s wife, the other his assistant, and the others had to ask permission before entering the room.
Jayne nodded and went out to prepare food for Chase.
“By the way, make a bowl of noodles. There’s a meeting coming up.” Chase looked at the back of Jayne and said.
Jayne nodded and went out of the captain’s room.
“Call all the top brass. Let’s meet in half an hour.” Chase said to Reba again.
“Good.” Reba nodded her head and began to inform others.
“Give me a cigarette,” Chase said to Phil.
Phil took out a cigarette and handed it to Chase, saying: “The loss of this trip to Mars was too heavy. More than 800 ordinary soldiers sacrificed, and more than 140 fighters sacrificed. The point is, we didn’t get any benefits.”
“Yes, damn it! How can there be such monsters on Mars? How do they survive in this bad environment? It’s amazing. I have to let Dasin study the little monster.” Chase said, taking a puff from his cigarette.
“Did you bring the Martian monster?” Phil asked with some concern.
Before, they already knew that the monster had a super reproductive ability, and they could quickly breed a large number of small monsters as long as they absorbed nutrients from human bodies.
If this was not done properly, it might bring a great disaster to The Hope.
“Yeah, but no problem. It is no longer threatening.” Chase knew Phil’s concerns in his heart, so he answered.
“That’s good.” Phil nodded.
A few minutes after Chase finished smoking, Jayne came to the captain’s room with a bowl of hot egg noodles.
She put the bowl in front of Chase, and Chase gobbled it down.
To be honest, he was hungry.
Mostly on Mars, he used up too much energy.
After finishing the meal, Chase gargled and headed to the main conference room with a few others.
The main conference room was usually reserved for the company’s top management meetings, including Wade Xie and Wall Wang, two directors and two deputy directors, a dozen people at most.
After Chase and Phil arrived in the conference room, all the top management had already arrived.
“Ladies and gentlemen, during this trip to Mars, we did not mine anymore but also lost a lot. The consumption of various resources is still very high. Judging from the resources we currently reserve, we can’t fly out of the solar system, let alone reach the Planet B, four light-years away. For us, humans, in the days that followed, we are likely to be destroyed at any time.” Said Chase, glancing down at everyone below.
“Can we use solar energy to supplement all kinds of energy now?” Silver Xu asked.
Others looked at Chase, while others looked at Dasin, the chief scientist.
Chase didn’t answer, but Dasin shook his head and said, “No, The Hope is too full for too many people, and the solar energy absorbed by its surface can only be provided to one-third of the people of the spacecraft for recycling.”
“That is, we have to bear more than 70, 000 people’s energy use every day, including two-thirds of the spacecraft’s energy, which requires the consumption of reserve energy.”
“Of course, if all the solar energy is used to supply the fifth ecological zone, it is the energy consumption of the whole ecological zone.”
“In fact, the solar energy that The Hope can absorb is originally prepared for the extra energy consumption in the ecological zone.”
“Not only can’t we reserve solar energy, but when we leave the solar system, we won’t be able to absorb solar energy anymore. At that time, all the energy consumption depends on the reserve resources, which will be an astronomical figure.”
“Then what should we do?? Jupiter and Saturn are both gaseous planets, so we can’t use their original quantities. By the way, Uranus and Neptune are also gaseous planets. We don’t know whether there are alien monsters like we saw on Mars, let alone harness their resources. ” Wade raised questions.
“Yeah, so what should we do next?”
“If we can’t supply resources, can we leave the solar system safely?”
“Can we still reach Planet B safely?”
Everyone was baffled by those questions.
