Chapter 477: Powerful Martian Robot
"Everyone can rest assured that our Mars space suit has undergone very rigorous testing to ensure that we can rely on it to protect our safety. Now let's put on the space suit and start testing the Mars robot."

Everyone present had no objection to Ning Chen's arrangement, so everyone, led by Ning Chen, came to the location where the Martian space suits were stored.

These Martian space suits are not as thick as everyone imagines. They look as thin and thick as human autumn and winter clothes, and they are not particularly heavy to actually wear.

"I can't believe that this space suit is quite easy to put on. Although it's my first time wearing one, I put it on in just a few minutes by following the steps above."

"Yes, this is a detail we took into consideration when designing this Mars space suit. Because in the future, we will regard Mars as the second home of mankind, so when putting on the space suit, we will definitely not make this step particularly cumbersome."

"In addition, this space suit is relatively light, just like wearing a down jacket in winter. Even if it is a little heavy, it is still within an acceptable range and will not have a particularly big impact on our normal actions. Especially for some people with better physical fitness, wearing this space suit is not much different from wearing normal clothes..."

The people with "excellent" physical fitness that Ning Chen mentioned naturally refer to people like himself and Song Xiyun. In fact, Ning Chen had tried on this Martian spacesuit before, and was very satisfied with its actual performance.

Not to mention, the situation will become even more optimistic after Sci-Fi Island officially starts simulating the Martian environment.

Because the actual gravity on Mars is only about 0.38 times that on the Blue Planet. Although this gravity is not as small as that on the moon, it can allow people to move more easily.

After everyone changed into their Martian spacesuits and got used to the feeling, Ning Chen took everyone to another place.

"This is the 'Mars Laboratory' on this sci-fi island. We guarantee the safety of this sci-fi island. Only in this Mars Laboratory can we simulate the real environment on Mars. It contains many of our latest technologies from Star Technology. The degree of simulation that can be achieved will definitely far exceed everyone's imagination..."

The "90 percent" simulation level that Ning Chen mentioned before was actually a reservation, because based on what humans know about Mars now, this level of simulation is already very close to 100 percent.

Ning Chen once again made everyone confirm that he had completed putting on the Martian space suit before he turned on the start switch of the Mars laboratory through his brain's biological computer.

In fact, this Mars laboratory has another layer of safety protection system, which is that before it is started, it will automatically confirm whether everyone is wearing the Mars space suit. If someone does not wear the space suit correctly, the Mars laboratory cannot be opened normally.

The principle behind this lies in the special design of the Martian space suit. Only after detecting that the personnel are wearing the Martian space suit correctly, can the sensors on the space suit release the "correct" signal. Otherwise, the signal emitted will be "wrong".

If someone takes off the Mars spacesuit without authorization during the process, the Mars laboratory will immediately shut down the Mars simulation experiment to ensure the safety of internal personnel to the greatest extent.

Of course, Ning Chen did not reveal these things to other people. This is because Ning Chen hopes that everyone can have a strong sense of self-safety, rather than leaving their personal safety entirely to these advanced technologies.

Following Ning Chen's order, the simulation experiment in the Mars laboratory officially began. This also proved that everyone was indeed wearing the Martian spacesuits seriously and did not take this experiment as a joke.

With the official launch of the Mars laboratory, everyone gradually felt the changes in the environment around them.

"The temperature and pressure in this laboratory are gradually rising. Although we cannot feel these changes because we are wearing Martian space suits, we can still clearly understand these changes through the sensors on the space suits."

"I feel like my body is gradually getting lighter, and this feeling is not an illusion, because the acceleration of gravity here is indeed gradually decreasing."

"These technologies are really incredible. I really can't figure out how this sci-fi island can do this. I am sure that these are not just our illusions, but that the environment has really been changed."

During the startup of the Mars laboratory, Ning Chen also had a very careful design, which was not to make the whole process too fast, but to change the conditions here relatively slowly.

It will not be until about an hour later that the environment here will completely change to one close to the surface of Mars. The reason for this design is to try to avoid people from suffering physical discomfort due to too drastic changes in the environment.

"Okay, now the conditions here have completely changed to the surface of Mars. How do you feel now? If anyone feels unwell, you can temporarily leave the Mars laboratory and take a break. After you recover, you can continue to work..."

After all, the conditions in the Mars laboratory are quite harsh, and it is not easy to get everyone to adapt to the environment here.

After Ning Chen said these words, several people raised their hands and requested to temporarily leave the Mars Laboratory. Ning Chen knew that their bodies could not bear it anymore, so he let them leave the Mars Laboratory first according to his promise.

"Okay, now we are going to officially start our experiment. The Martian robots are robots designed specifically for the Martian environment. If nothing goes wrong, we will soon see their even more amazing performances."

As he spoke, Ning Chen activated the switches of these Martian robots through his brain's biological computer.

Now, more than ten Martian robots have been deployed in the Martian laboratory. Although it is called a "laboratory", the internal area is actually very large, allowing these Martian robots to carry out various activities freely.

"Song Xiyun, how do you feel now? Are you used to the special conditions here?"

While waiting for these Martian robots to officially start up, Ning Chen casually asked Song Xiyun.

"Haha, I don't think this question is meaningful. We have all been to the moon. This so-called 'harsh environment' here is nothing to us." Compared to the moon, the conditions on Mars are still more "comfortable", not to mention that this is just a simulated Martian environment, plus with the protection of the Martian space suit, it will normally not cause any safety risks.

Moreover, after these days of training, Song Xiyun's physical fitness has already exceeded the standards of normal people, and she can easily adapt to some more extreme situations.

"Yeah, I feel the same way. I think if we land on Mars now, we will be able to adapt to the environment there very well. Song Xiyun, if you are willing, when we officially carry out the manned landing on Mars, we will be the first astronauts."

Ning Chen's decision was not made out of selfishness, but was the most objective decision made based on the current situation.

When Ning Chen chose Song Xiyun as the astronaut to land on the moon, some people questioned Ning Chen's approach, believing that Ning Chen made this choice only because of the special relationship between the two of them.

But after seeing Song Xiyun's performance in the moon landing mission, these questioning voices quickly disappeared.

Compared with those so-called "professional astronauts", Song Xiyun now actually possesses stronger comprehensive abilities. Song Xiyun's powerful brain biological computer technology and physical fitness that surpasses ordinary people are advantages that other astronauts do not have.

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Song Xiyun immediately became excited and nodded and said:

"Great, I will definitely complete my task seriously, but... Ning Chen, is this a formal appointment, or are you just saying it casually?"

"It's not a formal appointment yet, because we haven't reached that stage yet. But Song Xiyun, you also know that my verbal promise has a very strong effect."

After hearing this, Song Xiyun also confirmed this fact. After knowing Ning Chen for so many years, Ning Chen has never broken his promise, which is a very rare and valuable thing.

While Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were chatting about this, these Martian robots had completed the startup procedure and officially started their work.

Perhaps because they needed to "warm up" first, the performance of these Martian robots did not make people feel anything special at first, but as they gradually adapted to this new environment, everything began to become completely different.

These Martian robots, as if they had finally found their true home, began to move around the Martian laboratory very flexibly and quickly, and automatically performed their tasks.

Much of the environment here is built based on part of the real surface environment of Mars, and it can be said that it has restored the actual situation on Mars to a very high degree.

Those Martian robots that performed tasks in a relatively flat environment quickly demonstrated their true speed after adapting to the gravity conditions of the new environment.

"This is really an amazing performance. Their speed has exceeded 100 kilometers per hour. You have to know that this is not a road in the strict sense, but it is relatively flat."

After all, this is just a simulation of the surface of Mars, and its flatness is not even as good as a dirt road in the countryside. If it were a normal car, it would not dare to drive here at a relatively high speed.

Only some off-road vehicles with excellent performance dare to drive on such roads, but their speed can never catch up with these Martian robots.

"The shock absorption capabilities of these Martian robots are so strong that on this relatively 'flat' road, they are just like driving on the highway on Blue Planet. Even by watching the video of them driving, you can clearly see how their shock absorption system works."

"Yes, we have added a lot of very advanced technologies to the shock absorption system of these Martian robots. The most core technology is the special material used in it. This material has very strong elastic properties, and its elastic deformation range far exceeds that of normal elastic materials. In addition, in order to break through its elastic deformation, the external force required is a very huge number, so normally, this is basically impossible to do..."

Listening to Ning Chen's story, everyone showed appreciation and admiration on their faces. They understood that these technologies may look insignificant, but in fact they are the latest technologies with rich technical content.

If the same technology can be applied to Blue Star's cars, they will undoubtedly demonstrate the same incredible performance. However, compared to these civilian technologies, Ning Chen still hopes that they can be applied in the aerospace field first.

After proudly observing the working conditions of these Martian robots, Ning Chen and others shifted their attention to another side.

In this direction, the terrain of the Mars laboratory is very rugged. On such a rugged road, even a Mars robot with such strong shock absorption capabilities would absolutely not be able to drive fast here.

These Martian robots automatically switched their forms based on their detection of the terrain here, making them look closer to the definition of "robots."

These are the two main forms of the Martian robot. In this respect, it is indeed very similar to the "Transformers", but in terms of the details, it is far better than the Transformers.

Seeing them climbing this complex and rugged terrain with ease, everyone couldn't help but admire this situation.

"These Martian robots are like natural climbing experts, climbing such difficult slopes with incredible speed and stability. Even human rock climbing champions would never be able to demonstrate such capabilities."

"This is an ability that humans simply cannot compare to. Even animals like geckos, which are good at climbing, probably cannot compare to these Martian robots. Their ability to move in the simulated ground on Mars is really much stronger than on the surface of the blue planet."
