Among the floating fortress beasts in the Bright Forest.
Cai Haitao and his wife looked at the scenery like another world with novelty. They came to Mars to celebrate the New Year.
"In the Bright Forest, we are like people from Lilliput, feeling too small." Chen Yunyun sighed.
"The power of the Creator is truly unimaginable," Cai Haitao said, picking up a glass of purple drink.
"From a biological perspective, we humans are almost close to the Creator." Chen Yunyun never thought that humans would enter the interstellar age so quickly.
"Where are you two from?" A white man who looked like a young man was also holding a glass of purple drink and he was leaning on the railing.
"We are from Lingnan Province, South China District. How about you, sir?" Cai Haitao replied with a smile.
The white young man clinked glasses with Cai Haitao: "My name is Pass City, Western Australia, Shah Rukh Toronto."
"Cai Haitao, this is my wife Chen Yunyun."
"It's an honor to meet you two. Are you here for travel?" Shah Rukh asked casually.
"Yes, I like traveling very much. I have been to many places in Blue Star. I heard that Mars has opened a tourist visa, so I came over to have a look. Where is Mr. Shah Rukh?" Cai Haitao replied.
"I am collecting thesis materials and preparing to write a paper on silicon-based biological ecology." Shah Rukh said, pointing to the towering light crystal trees and the mechanical beasts in the forest.
"It's a coincidence that Mr. Shahrukh majored in biology. I am a high school biology teacher." Chen Yunyun said happily.
"Oh! I'm really honored. I didn't expect that Chen is also studying biology."
"I have a headache now. The teaching materials are being changed every year." Chen Yunyun said helplessly, spreading her hands.
"There is no way. After all, biology now has a large category of silicon-based organisms. Together with other materials inherited from the Anluo civilization, our biology level has improved a lot. I am now majoring in silicon-based organisms.
Biology is equivalent to learning from scratch." Shah Rukh also smiled bitterly.
"I heard that this mobile fortress beast is 50,000 years old. It is a rare species that has existed since the establishment of the Helic planetary organization. Now there are only two of them in the entire Helic Republic." Cai Haitao said with his back leaning on the railing.
This mobile fortress beast is really huge, like a hill suspended in mid-air. Its width and length are about 15 kilometers, and its height is about 4.5 kilometers. If viewed from a distance, it looks like a crocodile.
Almost like a turtle.
"Would you two have lunch together?"
"Can."
The three of them headed into the city. There was a small town on the back of the mobile fortress beast. There were many shops and restaurants opened by the Soth people. Of course, there were also many Blue Star people who had shops here. It was not as good as the Solar System chain store "Shaxian".
"Snacks", "Lanzhou Ramen" and "Longjiang Pork Knuckle Rice" are the three giants.
However, the three of them have eaten too many of these in Blue Star, and now they want to come here to eat Shaxian snacks, so they are really cheating themselves.
After a while, they came to a special restaurant opened by the Soth people. The restaurant was called "Shashaluk", which is a transliteration of the name, and the Chinese meaning is ancient mountain.
"Welcome." A Soth girl greeted in half-baked Chinese.
"What special dishes are there?" Cai Haitao asked as he sat down.
"Sir, this is the menu. Let me introduce it to you..."
After a while, the three of them ordered several dishes and drinks.
There are many tourists and a few Soss people eating in the restaurant. The vegetables, fruits and meats of the Soss people are all produced near Equator City.
The purple drink Cai Haitao drank just now was grass apple juice, but the Soth people like to drink a fermented bubble drink called "Bobo". Ordinary Blue Star people cannot drink this drink because it contains highly corrosive organic acids.
And stimulant ingredients, the acidity of Bobo is equivalent to sulfuric acid with a concentration of 24%, and the stimulant effect is 3.7 times stronger than marijuana.
This thing contains Blue Star, which is a highly toxic chemical and addictive drug. However, to enhanced people, this thing is almost like Coke and Sprite.
After a while, the waiter brought over five dishes and a large bottle of Bobo.
"Come and drink!"
"cheers."
The three of them took a sip of Bobo, which was sour and sweet with a hint of vanilla, and a dreamlike and refreshing feeling.
"Let's eat." Cai Haitao picked up a piece of ribs from an unknown beast. Although the three of them only ordered five dishes, the portion was definitely very generous. A piece of ribs in his hand weighed more than a pound.
It strengthens people's digestive ability so much that it is no problem to eat 10 kilograms in one meal. The three of them devoured it.
These meats are all assembly line products produced through artificial meat technology, and the Soth people also like to eat them very much. They have eaten nutrient solutions and energy blocks for a lifetime, and finally returned to normal vegetables, fruits and meats.
"Cai, shall we visit the Museum of Paleontology in Utopia City in the afternoon?" Shah Rukh asked, wiping the corners of his mouth.
"Hiccup! No, we are already planning to visit the Emerald Town of Mariner Canyon." Cai Haitao burped.
…
Fang Ping and Sara took the Flying Shark Mechanical Beast and arrived at the canyon area. The canyon area is located above the Mariner Canyon, part of the Arabian Plains, and part of the Meridian Highlands.
There is a mass projector nearby in Sailor City, which is currently the transportation center for Mars' ground and space. In addition, the canyon area is also very rich in mineral resources, including various rare metals and rare element minerals.
So this is not only a transportation center, but also a mining and smelting center. However, the most famous thing here is the Thunder Valley corundum mine, which is also commonly known as the jade mine. However, corundum mines in the interstellar era are not valuable.
Therefore, this piece of corundum mine is displayed as a tourist area. For a ticket of 1,000 yuan per person, you can dig inside as you like. Many people come here just for fun. The jadeite raw material that has been mined is only 50 yuan per kilogram.
It's about ten yuan, which is a bargain price. If you dig a lot of them from here and sell them to Blue Star, the transportation fee alone will be more than worth the loss.
Cai Haitao and his wife rented an electric pickup truck from the Emerald Town in the tourist area, then rented a set of personal mining equipment and drove the pickup truck to the Emerald Mining Area.
"Holy shit, it's such a big piece of jade." Cai Haitao drove his pickup truck through an jade arch and entered the jade mining area.
At this time, there were five or six people in the mining area who were also looking for something in a large piece of stone. From time to time, someone would directly turn on the laser cutter to cut the stone.
"Hello, brother, do you want some nice-looking jadeite? I'll sell it to you at a low price, how about 80 yuan per kilogram?" A young man in jeans asked, tossing the crystal clear turquoise stone in his hand.
"Thank you, I'll just find a piece or two myself and use it as a souvenir." Cai Haitao waved his hand and continued to go into the mining area.
Fang Ping's Sara's Flying Shark Mechanical Beast flew slowly over the emerald mining area. They had just completed the sailor's inspection and were preparing to return to Utopia City.
"Our focus this year is the construction of the Mars ring. The second is to strengthen the immigration work. The population can drive the economic development of Mars." Fang Ping looked at the dozen or so people scattered in the jade mining area below. He said about Mars
The number of people received is not satisfactory.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Compared to the harsh environment of Mars, Blue Star is simply a paradise." Sara said helplessly.
"So we need to provide more preferential immigration projects to attract more immigrants to settle on Mars." Fang Ping continued.
The two of them were discussing the development of the Mars Territory along the way.
