Chapter 476: Mars-themed Sci-Fi Island
As professionals in the field of robotics, they have at least ten years of professional experience. However, compared with Ning Chen, they seem like real professional laymen and do not have the feeling of Ning Chen who knows everything.

"Boss Ning, can we...really build such powerful Martian robots? Even if these robots are really built, testing them there will be a thorny problem."

Ning Chen had obviously thought of a corresponding solution to this problem a long time ago. After all, these robots have nuclear fusion power devices in their bodies. Even though these power devices are very miniaturized, they still require very complete testing before they can be officially put into use.

In addition, the work content of these Martian robots is very complex. If they are only tested in ordinary environments, there is no guarantee that they can cope with the harsh environment on Mars.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this problem. One of our sci-fi islands in Xingchen Technology is a sci-fi island with Mars as its theme. This 'theme' is not just about some elements on Mars. In fact, it simulates various real environments on Mars. The degree of realism of the simulation even includes various factors such as the temperature, gravity acceleration, pressure, surface morphology, etc. on Mars..."

When people heard Ning Chen's words, their expressions changed. Some of them couldn't believe that Ning Chen had already considered this matter.

In fact, before the system released the mission to go to the outer planet of the blue star, Ning Chen had already planned this matter in advance, because whether the system would release such a mission would not affect Ning Chen's determination to go to Mars.

In order to achieve the goal of simulating the Martian environment, a lot of high-tech is needed. For example, simulating the gravity environment of Mars is an extremely complicated task. Fortunately, Star Technology now has a lot of powerful technologies, and achieving this goal is still possible.

Before everyone could accept the result, Ning Chen continued to say something that surprised everyone.

"After the simulation test officially begins, our project team will also go to this sci-fi island to better simulate this work. Because this work is for the entire manned landing mission on Mars, we hope everyone can actively participate."

Ning Chen didn't know what everyone thought about going to the science fiction island to conduct experiments. After all, the environment of this science fiction island was much worse than other science fiction islands, and most of the time they needed to wear space suits to work.

But what surprised Ning Chen was that everyone was very positive about going to the Science Fiction Island, and no one expressed any resistance to it.

"That's great. I never thought we would have the opportunity to go to Sci-Fi Island. This is equivalent to a paid trip."

"Science Fiction Island is a place that many rich people don't have the opportunity to go to. It is said that if you want to get a spot to go to Science Fiction Island, you need at least millions of RMB. If we have the opportunity to go to Science Fiction Island, it is equivalent to saving millions of RMB."

"If possible, I hope I can live on the Science Fiction Island forever. This is a real future world. Life here is much better than the outside world."

Seeing that everyone's reaction was much more enthusiastic than he had imagined, Ning Chen felt that he must emphasize the difficulty of this mission.

"I think some of us may have some misunderstandings. The experience on this sci-fi island is not as good as other sci-fi islands. During our work, the environment there is still very hard. Of course, after work, we can definitely take a good rest and enjoy some of the latest technologies on the sci-fi island..."

Even though Ning Chen repeatedly emphasized that this science fiction island was not as comfortable as everyone imagined, this still did not affect everyone's enthusiasm. Everyone in the project team expressed their willingness to participate in the registration to go to the science fiction island.

Ning Chen didn't know what to say when he saw this. He could only wait and select the list of people who could go to the science fiction island for experiments based on the situation.

…………

The work of the Mars robot project team progressed very quickly. It took only two months, and under the leadership of Ning Chen, everyone made the first batch of Mars robots for experimental use.

These Martian robots are exactly the same as Ning Chen's design, and even in various details, they are completely consistent with Ning Chen's design. It can be said to be a perfectly copied product.

The reason why the project team was able to make such a sophisticated robot is inseparable from the most advanced processing technologies accumulated by Star Technology. When necessary, the processing error can be accurately determined to the nanometer level, which is far beyond the technological level in the early 21st century.

What makes Ning Chen most satisfied is the room-temperature superconducting circuits and miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion power technology added to these Martian robots. These technologies are enough to ensure that the Martian robots always have sufficient power on Mars. They no longer need to explore the planet only when the area they are in is facing the sun as before.

After completing this work, Ning Chen and others first conducted simple tests on these Martian robots, and the final test results were very satisfactory to everyone.

Although these Martian robots are specially designed and manufactured for the Martian environment, they can still perform various actions very freely even on the Blue Planet, and their intelligence level far exceeds that of ordinary robots.

"I can't believe that these robots can climb such steep terrains, and on flat paths, they can move at such high speeds. I think these things can no longer be described by the simple concept of 'robots'."

Song Xiyun sincerely expressed her admiration for these Martian robots. Personally participating in these projects made Song Xiyun feel the power of these Martian robots even more.

"Yes, when in motion, this Martian robot can travel long distances at the same speed as a car. When in climbing mode, it can climb any steep slope. Even a negative angle will not be a problem for this Martian robot..."

"Haha, I'm actually a little tempted to call them 'Transformers'. I really look forward to sending them to Mars one day and admiring their performance on Mars."

"Well, the research and development of the spacecraft is also progressing well. If everything goes well, that day won't be too far away. If there is nothing else to do next, let's complete the further testing of the Mars robot first."

Ning Chen was unable to be in multiple project teams at the same time, so he had to finish one task first and then solve other problems. Fortunately, the entire Mars manned landing team had many outstanding experts. Ning Chen had already made a general plan, so he did not need to do everything himself, but could safely hand over many tasks to others.

After completing the preparations, Ning Chen, Song Xiyun, and members of the Star Technology Robot Project Team went to this Mars-themed science fiction island together.

Because the number of places to go to this science fiction island is limited, Ning Chen could only select a part of the members from the project team. This made those who were not qualified to go to the science fiction island feel very regretful.

Going to the science fiction island again, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun both had some different feelings in their hearts than usual, because the theme of this science fiction island is indeed very special. It is no longer a reflection of human future life, but a world completely different from the Blue Planet.

"Of course, we can't define this science fiction island too absolutely. After all, humans will most likely go to Mars to live in the future. From this perspective, this can also be regarded as a future world." Ning Chen said.

"Well, Ning Chen, what you said does make some sense. Also, I heard that this science fiction island is an artificial island, which was built specifically for the science fiction island project."

"Yes, Song Xiyun, you are right. Most of the science fiction islands in the future will be artificial islands. This is also to build science fiction islands that better meet our requirements."

After the plane arrived at the sci-fi island, everyone got off the plane and checked the condition of the sci-fi island.

Just as Ning Chen described before, this science fiction island does have a very strong "Mars" theme. In a trance, everyone felt as if they were really on Mars.

But after a while, some people began to realize some of the problems here.

"Boss Ning, besides the atmosphere here that is very similar to that on Mars, the other conditions here don't seem to be as severe as you said before. We haven't felt the harsh temperature and pressure environment on Mars, nor have we felt the thin atmosphere of Mars..."

Hearing such remarks, Ning Chen couldn't help but shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Admittedly, with our current capabilities, we cannot simulate the Martian environment 100%. After all, our technological conditions are relatively limited, and we don't know enough about Mars. But at least we can simulate the temperature, pressure, gravity and other conditions. It's just... we have just arrived on this sci-fi island and haven't even put on the corresponding aerospace equipment. Do you think it's really appropriate to start simulating the Martian environment now?"

Ning Chen's words made those who had been somewhat skeptical just now couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

"Yes, we haven't even put on space suits yet. If we start simulating the Martian environment right now, it's really no different from seeking our own death. Then, Academician Ning, when do we officially start?"

"Don't worry, let's get things sorted out today and officially start the experiment tomorrow. The conditions on this sci-fi island are not as comfortable as other sci-fi islands, but it does have a lot of advanced technology, and everyone can go and experience it for themselves."

Ning Chen was not in a hurry to assign tasks to everyone. After dismissing everyone, he asked them to go back and rest.

When they arrived at their house with Song Xiyun, they both felt a little amused and helpless because of the "Martian atmosphere" inside the room.

"Ning Chen, I can't believe that even the interior of the room here is designed with a Martian theme. If I suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, I will really feel like I am on Mars."

"Haha, this is to match the atmosphere here. If you don't like it, we can change the theme of the room."

This theme environment is not the kind that cannot be changed after decoration, but it is created through some optical effects and can be changed through some simple settings.

Hearing that Ning Chen wanted to change the theme environment here, Song Xiyun quickly shook her head and said:
"Ning Chen, that's not necessary. I think this kind of theme environment is also good. It can help us quickly adapt to the atmosphere here and get into work better."

After a good night's rest, the project team members gathered together on time the next day, waiting for Ning Chen's arrangements.

Because we just arrived at this sci-fi island yesterday, no one has gotten used to the various advanced technologies on the island, and many people are still somewhat confused.

But everyone had a good rest last night. In the room above the Sci-Fi Island there are some high-tech equipment to help people recover, which makes everyone look good.

"I see that everyone's mental state is much better than before. If there is no problem, we will officially start work today. This work is very dangerous, but as long as everyone wears the corresponding space suit equipment correctly, theoretically they can fully guarantee their own safety..." Ning Chen said.

Listening to Ning Chen's story, everyone's mental state gradually became serious. They realized that this was not something that could be joked about, and they did not dare to be careless about Ning Chen's words.

Because this sci-fi island was designed and built for the subsequent manned exploration mission to Mars, although the environment here cannot be made 100% similar to Mars, it has at least achieved more than 90%, so it can be said that it is very similar overall.

After this sci-fi island officially starts simulating the Martian environment, various dangerous factors will emerge. Therefore, without the protection of special space suits, it is almost impossible for humans to survive here for a long time.
