I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Is Chapter 457 fake?
In the distant orbit of Mars, the New Hope spacecraft opens its belly hatch, and the crew pilots the single-person spacecraft to carry out a space mission.

In the conference room of the New Hope Command Center, Wen Mingzhe was tapping on a hologram with a laser pointer, his brows furrowed deeply.

"The primary challenge in building a base on Mars is the presence of perchlorate in the Martian soil regolith, which is highly toxic to humans and mechanical seals upon direct contact. All building materials must undergo pretreatment, but our mobile processing station only has 30% of the capacity we projected."

Far from the Earth-Moon region, deep into space, every day brings a variety of challenges and unexpected events.

For example, this time they underestimated the impact of the solar storm on the capacity of the mobile processing station.

Deputy Commander Liu Wei pulled up the Martian atmospheric data and said seriously, "The average atmospheric pressure on Mars is only 0.6% of that on Earth, making it impossible to carry out any outdoor welding or casting. All the cabins must be prefabricated on Earth and then transported by cargo ships. However, when a sandstorm comes, the solar energy efficiency drops by 90%, which will seriously slow down the construction speed of the Mars base."

Chen Fan, who was in charge of the geological exploration of Mars, used a laser pointer to mark a candidate location at the foot of Olympus Mountain, based on the known exploration data.

“The underground ice layer shows that the nearest usable water ice is at the edge of Crater 3, 12 kilometers away, but ground-penetrating radar shows active shallow faults there, and the drilling team must face the possibility of a gas blowout and unknown geological activity.”

There was silence in the conference room.

The joy of successfully arriving on Mars seemed so insignificant in the face of various severe and unexpected situations.

After successfully establishing a base on the moon, the humans of Earth were filled with confidence in their expansion into the universe.

The content of this meeting undoubtedly poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

Building a base on Mars is much more difficult than building a base on the Moon.

Wen Mingzhe rubbed his face hard: "Let's write a summary report first, listing all the necessary supplies and difficulties we face, and then report to the Blue Star headquarters after the quantum channel opens again."

"it is good."

The meeting ended, but no one left the office; they all seemed much more relaxed.

Chen Fan took out a lollipop from his chest pocket, the fruity aroma filling his mouth and dispelling his earlier anxiety.

"Everyone should try to be more positive. Our planet is developing very quickly. We have to take it one step at a time. The main task assigned to us by the planetary headquarters is to monitor the universe. As for the Mars base, we'll do what we can, and if we can't, we'll figure something out when the next starship arrives."

Wen Mingzhe nodded in agreement. In his spare time, he couldn't help but inquire about his subordinate's personal life: "When are you and Chen Lin planning to get married? Should we have a Martian wedding for you? If you were a little more efficient, you might even have a Martian baby."

Chen Fan and Chen Lin were both humans from the old Blue Star before the Civilization Trial Grounds descended.

Getting married, having children, and building a complete family together is a very important part of their lives.

Previously, due to the harsh external situation, they had no time to think about personal issues, and their personal needs were severely suppressed.

After entering the Era of Return to the Void, they all had the idea of ​​getting married and having children, but as they got older, Chen Lin's body could no longer bear children, so she was too lazy to get married and simply devoted herself to her career.

A few years ago, the body repair fluid of Blue Star Life Laboratory officially went into production, and Chen Lin had hope of getting pregnant. She finally agreed to Chen Fan's marriage proposal.

It can be said that these two people have witnessed three stages of change in Blue Star, and their fate and life are closely linked to Blue Star.

Wen Mingzhe longed to see the fruit of their love, as if seeing the hope of the planet Earth were a dream come true.

Chen Fan chuckled and said, "Soon! We will work hard for the great cause of the prosperity of the Blue Star's population."

"congratulations!"

"I'm waiting for your wedding candy, don't be stingy."

"Have you bought the wedding ring yet? If not, how about we go to Mars, pick out a special mineral, and have it carved into a ring? That would be very meaningful."

The atmosphere was very joyful. Although many people were against marriage, seeing the happy smile on Chen Fan's face still made them happy for him.

As everyone offered suggestions for Chen Fan's wedding, the New Hope AI suddenly appeared on the conference room screen.

[Quantum channel is open...]

Ok?
Everyone suppressed their smiles and their expressions turned serious.

Opening a quantum channel requires a lot of energy. The quantum channel between Blue Star and New Hope is only opened once a month.

Why was it suddenly activated this time? Has something happened to Earth?
Wen Mingzhe suppressed his anxiety and looked ahead.

The head of Blue Star Aerospace first asked everyone to give a work report. After listening, he said that the construction of the Mars base would be temporarily suspended.

The head of the organization asked cryptically, "Have you made any unusual discoveries on Mars? For example, ancient ruins? UFOs?"

Everyone was completely baffled by the question.

Chen Fan, who personally went to Mars to explore its geology, said with certainty: "There are no traces of industrial civilization on the surface of Mars."

"Oh." The person in charge hesitated for only three seconds before deciding to send over the video recording of the secret meeting.

"Li Dawei is awake. Here is his video. You can decide for yourselves."

[Quantum channel closed. Video data received. Open now?]

Wen Mingzhe remained silent, bewildered.

Li Dawei has woken up. Why is such a big deal being described so casually by the person in charge?!

With this question in mind, Wen Mingzhe turned on the video recording in front of everyone.

Half an hour later, the conference room was completely silent.

An hour later, everyone sat in their chairs like statues, their eyes unblinking.

Two hours later, Chen Fan asked weakly, "Is today April Fool's Day?"

After saying that, Chen Fan knew he had been incredibly foolish. Even on April Fool's Day, the Blue Star headquarters wouldn't waste so many resources opening a quantum channel just to play this joke.

However, what Li Dawei said really left people confused.

The Blue Star headquarters was unaware, but the crew of the New Hope knew perfectly well that there wasn't a single satellite, let alone a base or a space station, near Mars!
Where is the Mars Zhurong Space Station that Li Dawei mentioned? Where is the Mars base?

They haven't even seen a shadow of them.

Besides, back when the Civilization Trial Grounds were being tested, Guixu Star was still around 200 BC, more than 2000 years behind Earth. How could it have possibly developed to the point of establishing a base on Mars?

Everyone present knew just how difficult it would be to build a base on Mars!

This is definitely fake. It's possible that the government released this as a smokescreen to boost public confidence.

Wen Mingzhe rubbed his face vigorously and made a final decision: "Be careful when you go out to explore; you might find some clues."

The crowd looked at each other, and regardless of their true thoughts, they all agreed.
