"Really? What about other areas? What is the resource situation in other places on Mars?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Mr. Zhang! It's a pity that although we have discovered these minerals at the North Pole of Mars, the overall situation of Mars is still very barren, at least compared to the Earth. The North Pole is probably the only special place on Mars.

."

When he said this, Xiang Juncai paused for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Zhang! Our detector in the Mars North Pole 18 area has just sent back a set of abnormal data. According to data analysis, at the Mars North Pole,

In Area 18, there is a substance that most likely does not exist in the periodic table of elements in our human civilization. However, we are not yet sure whether this is true or whether it is a problem with the instrument. Captain Wang is sending people there now.

Sampling again, I believe it won’t be long before Captain Wang and the others can send back new data.”

After listening to Xiang Juncai's words, Zhang Yi felt excited because he knew that if it was true, it meant that human civilization had discovered a brand new element, and this brand new element was not artificially synthesized.

, but a natural element, which definitely has extraordinary significance for human technology.

After Zhang Yi and the others waited for more than 10 hours at the lunar base, they received data from Mars again, and the data clearly showed that an unknown element was indeed discovered in the Mars North Pole 18 area.

"Xiang Gong! All the data we have analyzed now show that there is indeed an unknown element in the Mars 18 area. We immediately ordered the WeChat 1 exploration ship to send people to the Mars North Pole 18 area for further exploration and collection.

With more samples, we need to have a more in-depth and detailed understanding of this element to see what its properties are." After hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately ordered.

........

As Zhang Yi's order was conveyed, the Ziweixing 1 space exploration ship was once again too shallow, and the aerospace plane headed for Area 18 at the North Pole of Mars.

The huge aerospace plane once again came to the sky above the Mars 18 area and began to slowly land in the Mars North Pole 18 area.

Area 18 at the North Pole of Mars is different from other areas. Other areas are either on the ice at the North Pole of Mars or in the rocky areas of Mars. However, Area 18 has a huge crater, which they placed before.

The instrument was located in the crater, so naturally they came to the crater again this time.

"Everyone, get ready and take action immediately after you go out. According to the satellite data we launched before, the climate changed at the North Pole of Mars not long ago. A large sandstorm is coming from the equator of Mars to the North Pole of Mars, which is far away from where we are now.

The place is not far away, and it is estimated that it will reach our area in 6 hours, so we must complete our mission within 6 hours." said the captain.

"Okay Captain!"

After the aerospace plane landed smoothly in the crater, the four astronauts, wearing exoskeleton armor and carrying equipment, quickly walked out of the aerospace plane and walked to the scheduled sample collection site.

"Bang!..." After arriving at the scheduled sample collection point, the four astronauts got into intense work.

The hard rock in the crater was filled with dust and gravel after the huge drilling equipment started operating. Fortunately, all they wore were exoskeleton armors with strong defense, rather than traditional space suits, so

During work, the stones flying out from the drilling ground cannot cause any harm to them, and the hard rock cannot block the drill bit of the drilling equipment at all?

As the drill bit of the drilling machine deepened little by little, the team members also began to put the drilled samples in the storage equipment that had been prepared in advance. However, this time was different from the previous times. This time they said they would bring it with them.

There are more samples, and in addition to surface samples, they also need to collect deeper samples.

Due to the Martian environment, it is very difficult to carry out drilling and other activities on Mars, and this is even more true at the north and south poles of Mars. After all, the average temperature at the north and south poles of Mars is above minus 100 degrees, which is very hard and is responsible for drilling.

The four astronauts must be careful during the drilling process. After all, even astronauts wearing exoskeleton armor are not invincible.

"Captain, we have now reached a depth of 25 meters, do we still need to go down?" When the display of the status equipment showed that the current depth has reached 25 meters, a team member asked.

"Continuing on, according to the mission requirements, the samples we need to collect this time are 5 meters, 10 meters, 15 meters, 25 meters, 35 meters, and 50 meters." The captain said.

However, just as the captain finished speaking, a strange sound came from the drilling equipment, and not long after, the drilling equipment stopped.

"What's going on? Why did the drilling equipment stop?" Seeing the drilling equipment stopped, the captain immediately asked the team member operating the drilling equipment.

"Captain, the drill bit of the equipment seems to be stuck!" the team member replied.

"What? The drill bit of the equipment is stuck? I remember that the equipment we are using is the most advanced drilling equipment in the entire human civilization. The same is true when I turn around. Now there are things that this equipment cannot drill! Report the situation immediately

Report to the command center!" the captain said immediately after seeing this situation.

After saying that, the captain continued to order: "Move the equipment immediately and let's go to a distant place to reinstall a hole." After saying that, the man gave up the drill bit and went a few hundred meters away to start collecting samples again.

After moving the equipment to a few hundred meters away and starting drilling again, the situation was relatively smooth. Although there was the same sound during the drilling process, the turning head did not get stuck directly underneath like before, but went very smoothly.

reached 50 meters underground and successfully collected samples below.

"Everyone pack up their things immediately and return to the aerospace plane. According to weather satellite data, the sandstorm is very close to us. It will reach us in less than 20 minutes. We must evacuate here before the sandstorm comes, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

Serious." After saying that, the captain took the lead in carrying the sample and walked towards the aerospace plane.

The other team members also carried the samples one after another and placed them inside the aerospace aircraft. After working for more than ten minutes, they finally placed all the samples inside the aerospace aircraft. However, the collection equipment was still in place and had not been moved in yet.

Inside the aerospace aircraft.
