Because these children are all "Martians" born on Mars, their parents are basically the first or second batch of immigrants to Mars, and are the fruits of love born from their long-term work on Mars.
The sky they have seen since childhood is yellow-brown, with only some pink in the morning and dusk; the earth they have seen since childhood is reddish-brown, living inside the cover, while outside there are violent hurricanes...
I don’t know what blue sky, white clouds, streams, lakes, and seas are at all. I can only understand them from my parents’ narrations and videos and pictures on TV and books. Just like modern people understand ancient times from ancient books, they can only know a rough idea.
I don't know exactly how it works or what the details are.
What you get on paper will eventually make you realize it is shallow, but you definitely know that you have to do this!
Ever since, after the number of children on Mars reached a certain level, TPC required schools to organize students to go on "study studies" during holidays, return to the home planet of mankind, the Earth, and see the boundless blue sky, cotton-white clouds, and endless
The sea, use your feet to actually feel the soft sand, use your ears to listen to the songs of the birds, use your nose to smell the fragrance of the flowers...
Of course, strengthening the connection between the Earth and Mars and preventing problems before they occur is also one of the purposes of this 'visiting relatives' study activity. So much so that we would rather lose part of the transportation capacity to let the children of Mars establish a hometown with the Earth.
To avoid being out for a long time, you will become a stranger and never want to return to the earth, and then you will become an "alien" person.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Captain Yamanaka opened the lid of the space cup, blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and then took a sip in the aroma of tea. A look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "Tea from the Earth is better.
Drink, Mars will still take a long time to transform."
Although it is said that with the unremitting efforts of many biological scientists, some Earth plants have been successfully transplanted to Mars, adapted to the Martian environment, began to thrive, and began to try to plant vegetation in the Martian natural environment outside the Martian city.
But so far, there are only small-scale experiments, and the survival rate is extremely low, and the price paid for those plants that survive is change.
Oranges grown in Huainan are called tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are called tangerines.
There are such big differences between the same plant in different environments on the same planet, let alone transplanted across planets. It is not an exaggeration to describe the change as "a huge difference".
Flowers as big as bowls can bloom on Earth, but those cultivated on Mars only have tiny buds, and they wither before they bloom. Grasses and trees that are evergreen all year round on Earth are short when they come to Mars.
Small yet hugely ugly; on earth...
Although life survived tenaciously, it did not live up to what humans expected, which was a huge disappointment.
This is still in a laboratory. If it were placed in the wild outside Mars City, it would probably be more abstract and become a different species, which is still far from people's expectations.
This is how the tenacious vegetation behaves on Mars. For delicate plants like tea, before the transformation of the Martian atmosphere is completed, local cultivation will not be considered at all, because it will be a waste of effort.
"Mars still needs time. After all, a planet that has been dead for billions of years cannot come back to life in just a few years. It will take a long time. We may not be able to see it. We can only look forward to it.
The next generation."
Captain Yamanaka said with emotion, although Mars has an atmosphere modification system that is said to have been obtained from the astronauts, turning a barren land into fertile farmland will not happen overnight, nor will it take ten years to transform a planet.
Years of work, a century project that takes a hundred years or more to complete.
This is still the initial transformation. If you want to make Mars as habitable as the Earth, it will probably take more than a thousand years of vast engineering.
That’s why Captain Yamanaka feels this way. Their generation probably won’t be able to see Mars becoming a habitable place for humans, but as long as their generation works hard, the next generation, and the next generation... will always be there.
A generation of people can enjoy the cool under the towering trees of Mars, admire the starry sky, smell the fragrance of flowers, and listen to the chirping of insects...
"Yes, they are the future of Mars." Vice Captain Cangtian nodded in agreement. Whether it is a small family or a big country, children are the hope and represent a future with infinite possibilities, so anything that involves children
, it is not a trivial matter and will inevitably arouse widespread attention and discussion.

At the same time, in an open space between the Earth and Mars, a bright ball of light suddenly appeared. Its instantaneous brightness was higher than that of the sun in the distance, making it the most dazzling existence in all directions.
The next second, a figure that was less than one-thousandth of the size of the light ball flew out from it, and the light ball also collapsed rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only the
Diga, who was flying forward, looked around and confirmed his position.
In the blink of an eye, it spans hundreds of millions of light years!
This is the passage beyond space - the magic of wormholes. Just a moment ago, you were in the vast void, and the next second you were inside the galaxy, and you even reached a specific star system accurately.
The technology of the Kingdom of Light is truly terrifying!
"Finally home."
Diga stopped accelerating and allowed the inertia to carry him forward, while his eyes looked around, looking at the familiar sun in the distance and the planet in the third orbit.
The solar system and the earth are seen again.
These things that I had taken for granted in the past felt particularly friendly when I saw them again after being away for a while.
This is the charm of my hometown. No matter how long I have been away, or how much my hometown has changed, as long as I return there, the pictures of the past will naturally appear in my mind.
“I don’t know how much time has passed and how much has changed?”
Thinking in his mind, Diga turned himself into photons again. After identifying the direction, he immediately flew towards the earth. He couldn't wait to return to the earth and meet people he hadn't seen for a long time.
only...
"what is that?"
Not long after flying, Diga's Ultra Eye caught sight of a dark figure whose body color was very similar to the void of the universe, but was moving rapidly. In front of it, the hull of a ship was painted with three-color TPC.
The beautiful spaceship is moving forward 'slowly', and at this speed, it will soon be overtaken by this huge black shadow.
However, the two people in the cockpit were not aware of it and were still chatting animatedly.
"I heard that the deep space detection radar launched by the Jupiter space station in the orbit of Jupiter discovered a black shadow suspected to be a monster," Vice Captain Cangtian said mysteriously: "It is said that the unmanned space station on Pluto lost contact because it was attacked.
This monster attacks."
When Vice Captain Cangtian said this, he always used the uncertain word "heard, said". This was not because he didn't know, but because he knew too much, so he didn't say it so stubbornly.
The root cause is everyone's desire for peace and no longer wanting to dance with monsters.
After all, it was only a short period of three years when monsters appeared frequently, which caused huge damage and tragic casualties to mankind. Especially the final battle, which was really a world-destroying level. If you are not careful, mankind will become history.
.
Therefore, the people deeply hate monsters and do not want to see any more of them.
Therefore, even if there is news about a monster, as long as it has not landed on the earth, it will not be reported. Just like many cases, unless it triggers large-scale public opinion, ordinary people will have no way to learn about it.
The fundamental purpose is to prevent panic and unnecessary losses.
Vice Captain Cangtian naturally knew this, so even if he knew the exact information, he still had to modify it.
"well!"
Captain Yamanaka sighed deeply, put down the water glass in his hand, looked out the window at the dark universe, and said: "I thought monsters would become a thing of the past, and I would never hear news about them again."
Not a single word is an answer, but every sentence is an answer.
"...There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the universe is so big. It's normal for monsters to appear." Cangtian said, comforting Captain Yamanaka and himself.
Anyway, the universe is so big and the solar system is so big. The monster's height of 100 meters is nothing in the astronomical scale, so maybe the monster is just taking a shortcut and will fly out of the solar system soon.
"But don't be afraid. Earth has a victory team. Oh, it's a super victory team now. Mars is also building a frigate. As long as it is completed, there will be no monsters to be afraid of." Captain Yamanaka just sighed for a while and then cheered up.
Come.
Because he thought of the thousand-meter-class cannon giant ship he saw when he drove the space transport spaceship away from Mars. It would be the main ship of the Mars fleet. Its firepower was extremely fierce, and one ship could equal it.
The Atdis, which has several ships on board, is an absolute weapon in space warfare.
As long as it is built, there is nothing to fear. After all, how big is the monster? How many main cannon shots can it take?
"That's true," Vice Captain Cangtian nodded and said, "Not to mention space monsters, even space people are not afraid of them."
Vice Captain Cangtian is full of confidence in this, because such a huge steel giant can give people a strong sense of security even if it is just parked.
"Where do you think space monsters come from?" Vice Captain Cangtian asked, "Is there such a place where monsters that seem huge to us are actually at very ordinary heights?"
"How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible? The universe is so big, what kind of things don't exist? It's normal for a space monster to accidentally enter the solar system. Maybe it will fly away one day."
"Well...that's possible. Otherwise, where did Ultraman come from?"
"Speaking of Ultraman..." Vice Captain Cangtian paused for a moment before continuing: "I haven't shown up for another year or two. Last time, a space monster passed by Mars and didn't show up.
"
"Yes, I haven't appeared for a long time, maybe..."
As soon as Captain Yamanaka said this, he glanced at the screen out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes widened instantly, because at some point a small dot appeared on the radar screen, approaching the space transport spacecraft at a speed visible to the naked eye. According to this
At that speed, I'm afraid that in ten seconds or so, I'll be caught up by the little dot from behind.
"What's this?"
As soon as Captain Yamanaka put down the water cup, he quickly tapped the keyboard in front of him, changed the radar from passive to active, and searched the airspace behind and to the left with all his strength.
Deputy Captain Cangtian also quickly got busy, activated one radar after another, and was ready to send a global broadcast. He only needed to determine what the radar found, and then sent a distress signal according to the situation.
Soon, the radar locked on the black spot and immediately transmitted various data to the main control. The two of them took a few breaths after just one glance and said in unison: "Monster!!!"
Although I haven't seen a monster for a long time, the ferocious face, huge body, and the calculated weight of more than 60,000 tons all indicate that it is a space monster.
Soon, the camera located diagonally behind the hull transmitted a clear picture, and the monster was exposed to the two people's field of vision. They saw a huge spider covered in black and gray, with long soldiers stretched out behind it.
, there is also a pair of huge sharp pincers growing in the mouth, which looks very scary.
The instrument also measured its body length, which actually reached more than 110 meters. Standing on the earth, it is almost forty stories tall.
This time, there was no need for the captain to issue an order. Cangtian quickly sent a global broadcast:
“MADY, MADY!
This is the Darius. We are encountering a space monster at point K458L847W45161. Please provide support as soon as possible!
repeat..."
The unexpected encounter and the fear caused Cangtian's voice to tremble when he spoke. Captain Yamanaka took over the driving, turned on the afterburner, and let the space transport spacecraft begin to accelerate again, trying to get rid of the monster's pursuit.
, no matter what, we must delay time until reinforcements arrive.
The sudden acceleration made it clear to everyone in the cabin that the children were still fine, but the adults responsible for taking care of these children realized the problem and hurriedly asked the children to sit in chairs and fasten their seat belts, and...
..
Before he finished his instructions, a child pointed out the window and said, "Teacher, what a big spider."
"There's no spider there." The nurse didn't care at all. He came over and hurriedly checked the seat belt, making sure it was fastened before moving on to the next one. But when he raised his head, he was stunned, because there was really a spider, and it flew away.
In the universe, I caught up with him at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Strange...monster?! It's actually a monster?!"
It's unbelievable, unbelievable, but you have to accept the fact.
The missing space monster did not fly away from the solar system. Instead, it penetrated deep into the solar system and came between the Earth and Mars, intending to attack the space transport spacecraft.
In such a blink of an eye, the huge spider had caught up with the space transport spacecraft, pierced the outer shell of the spacecraft with its sharp feet, and stuck itself firmly on the spacecraft.
