Chapter 75 – Dust storm strikes

Everyone was well-trained, and immediately fell down behind the low mud wall just built, and wrapped the spacesuit with a cover such as canvas to protect the spacesuit from being penetrated by sand and gravel!

“Get down!” Du Xingyu pulled Xu Lianqiu over, handed her a canvas, and lay down behind the mud wall together. At this time, they could no longer take care of the rover and the modular robot.

Just as they were evading, a sudden dust storm had taken shape, and billowing sand and dust came from a distance! The momentum is huge, covering the sky and the sun!

“Attention all, protect yourself. Yingzhuo monitors the dust storm and prepares for rescue!” Du Xingyu shouted.





“Yes!” The crowd slowed their breathing and waited quietly.

It is noon on Mars, and it is close to the Martian equator. It should have been shining brightly, but at this moment, the entire sky is completely dark, and the rolling sand covers everything!

In this boundless darkness, the storm engulfed flying sand and rocks, sweeping all obstacles around!

It’s noisy! Even through the spacesuit and the mask, they can clearly hear the sound of the impact of sand and gravel, especially when they hit the rover and the modular robot, the “dongdongdong” knocking sound, which seems to be terrifying. Exist in the darkness and strike!

Xu Lianqiu said in the communicator: “Don’t move, everyone, this dust storm should pass quickly. Protect the spacesuit. If it is broken down by sand and gravel, you must remedy it in time… In addition, a large amount of dust storms will carry There will be static electricity, and there will even be thunder and lightning! Everyone will try not to talk!”

“Rumble…” It seems to be to verify what Xu Lianqiu said. There was a deafening thunder in the dust storm, and the lightning disappeared instantly and was covered by wind and sand.

Even an astronaut with the best psychological quality will feel distressed when experiencing this situation on an alien planet.

Although Xu Lianqiu was admonishing his teammates, there was some tension in his voice. Everyone knows the truth, but when you are in such a disaster scenario, no one dares to be sure that your judgment is correct.

As the dust storm got bigger and bigger, Du Xingyu felt countless grit ejected onto his body, causing him to feel blue all over. The most terrible thing is that the board he used for shelter was blown away because of the increase in wind, and the sand and gravel hurt even more!

Just as Du Xingyu was ready to endure the pain, he grabbed him with one hand and pulled him into the low-lying place behind the low wall. A canvas on the rover wrapped his body and wrapped it with another body. .

Du Xingyu knew that this was Xu Lianqiu.

The two of them did not speak, and they hugged each other tacitly, trying to make the canvas wrap the two people and resist the attack of the Martian dust storm.

In the Earth Command Center, because of the signal delay, everyone has just learned the news of the Martian dust storm.

At this time, they can only contact the Yinghuan spacecraft, and the astronaut’s signal is difficult to receive due to the interference of sand and gravel and static electricity.

Time passed by one minute and one second. Although Du Xingyu and Xu Lianqiu couldn’t feel each other’s breathing through the spacesuits, they felt a sense of security inexplicably, and their nervous heartbeats gradually eased. From classmates to colleagues, to missions to Mars together, they are familiar.

At this moment, in the whistling dust storm on this alien planet, the fate of the two are connected together.

I don’t know how long it has passed. Every moment in the dust storm seems to be very long. In the darkness, Du Xingyu heard the voice in the communicator.

“Captain! Teammates, this is Yingzhuo, please answer when you hear it.” It was Shen Yan’s voice. She and Jiao Mengyun had been waiting in the spacecraft.

The Martian dust storm that swept across just now did not have much impact on the Martian spacecraft weighing more than 500 tons.

“Received, I am Du Xingyu!” Du Xingyu shouted in the communicator, “How is the dust storm situation now?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“According to satellite monitoring, the dust storm has moved, and you are safe!” Shen Yan replied.

Du Xingyu had already felt that the power of the nearby dust storm was diminishing.

“The team members report the situation.” Du Xingyu shouted.

“Su Peng received, I am safe now!”

“Xu Rui received that the outer layer of my spacesuit is damaged, and the inner protective layer is intact and safe.”

“Xu Lianqiu received it, everything is safe!”

Except for some external damage to the spacesuit, everything is fine. Du Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the response to the dust storm was fairly successful.

The wind and sand were getting smaller, Du Xingyu lifted the canvas on his body, and the sun shone on him again.

He squinted and saw that Xu Lianqiu, who was all gray, also squinted at him. Through the glass mask, he could see a warm smile on her pretty face.

“Captain!” Su Peng had already ran over and asked, “Are you okay?”


“It’s okay!” Du Xingyu pulled Xu Lianqiu up and said, “Fortunately we found it early.”

Su Peng looked around and said, “I’m going to test the rover and the modular robot!”

Everyone immediately began to clean up the surroundings. Several people with damaged outer spacesuits drove the rover to the spacecraft to repair and replace them, and the others continued to work.

“Everyone, work harder and build the base as soon as possible, so we don’t have to suffer this!” Du Xingyu encouraged everyone.

“Xu Rui, let’s continue to do wind direction and temperature testing!” Xu Lianqiu also packed up, and set off again to set up an environmental testing station around.

“Report to the ground. At present, everything is normal for the Mars mission team. We have resumed base construction!” Du Xingyu connected to the Earth Command Center.

“Okay! You handled it very well, remember, always put safety first!” He Jingcheng and others finally relieved.

A few hours later, Du Xingyu led the team back to the spacecraft, and today’s work is over. The foundation of the Mars base has just been laid, and it is initially completed, at least twenty days later.

Lying on the bed, Du Xingyu opened the notebook, wrote “Mars Journal”, and then posted a short video.

“Hello everyone, we are building a Mars base, and we suddenly encountered a Martian dust storm…” In the video, the yellow sand obscured the sky, and it was accompanied by lightning and thunder, giving people a breathless feeling.

“The sense of substitution is too strong, I feel buried alive!”

“?? Does Mars also thunder? Isn’t this a special effect?”

“Hello everyone, I found this phone on Mars, and there was this video on the phone at that time.”

“@ Earth observation, is the author still there?”

“Gosh, it’s scary!”

“This is the power of nature. Although we can land on Mars, we humans are still so small before the Martian dust storm!”

“Everyone is okay?”

As soon as Du Xingyu’s short video was released, it received millions of views within ten minutes. During the time he was working on Mars, his vibrato fans had reached 10 million, which brought him a lot of Energy point.

This short video not only quickly made the short video hotspot list, but also became a popular search on other platforms. Many enthusiastic netizens sent private messages to Du Xingyu, asking them about their situation.

No way, Du Xingyu had to update another one, saying: “Don’t worry, the Martian dust storm just now was a partial temporary dust storm. We have successfully avoided it, and all personnel are well.”

“In the coming days, we will continue to build a Mars base and conduct scientific research missions. You can follow my short video account-Earth Observation.”

Netizens are relieved: “Scare me!”

“Earth observation, observe everywhere except the earth!”

“Updated, “Survival on Mars”!”

“Wish you peace!”
