Chapter 742 The highest mountain in the solar system
The news that William successfully landed on Mars was intentionally informed to the outside world by the London Space Center after he had a brief conversation with the London Space Center.
Even if the London side wanted to hide this matter, they couldn't, because half an hour after they informed the public, Abigail, as the representative of the Devonshire family, immediately announced the news to the public.
She and Lina, who didn't know most of the inside story, did this just to prevent someone from causing trouble in the construction of the second spacecraft.
As for the people, William, as the first person to land on Mars, is definitely a hero in their eyes.
If any political figure dares to cause trouble in bringing William home, he will definitely be voted out of office by ordinary voters.
Unfortunately, many things don't need to be done openly. There are too many ways to do things secretly.
For a time, the eyes of the whole world were fixed on London again. Hundreds of reporters and dozens of broadcast trucks gathered outside the space center.
Waiting to hear from the space center, William will make some preparations and connect with the media and audiences around the world to personally introduce his current situation and some conditions on Mars.
Time passed by, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon London time. This was the brightest time of the day on Mars.
The communication was delayed for tens of seconds before William appeared on the big screen in the conference room of the space center.
"Hi, good afternoon, I'm William Devonshire, I'm live broadcasting for you from Mars right now."
Seeing William, who was wearing a fourth-type space battle armor with an excited expression, all the reporters at the meeting and people around the world who were paying attention to him couldn't help but stood up excitedly and applauded warmly.
Many people even shouted excitedly "Long live William", which made William couldn't help but stop talking and nodded his thanks with a smile.
After the meeting was quiet for a while, he continued, "I am in the spacecraft now. I will give you a brief introduction to my situation first, and then I will take you out of the spacecraft to see with your own eyes what the surface of the northern hemisphere of Mars is like."
After speaking, William picked up his helmet, picked up the spherical live broadcast device, walked out of the spacecraft control room, and came to the nearly 20 square meters cargo hold.
After briefly explaining the situation, William said depressedly, "Everything went smoothly during the flight to Mars, but I made a decision that seems stupid now.
In order to test the flight speed limit of the spacecraft, I accelerated the spacecraft seven levels and flew at a half-full speed of 170,000 kilometers per hour.
It was not until today that I successfully logged in and manually checked the status of the spacecraft that I discovered that the energy consumption exceeded the monitoring limit of the shipboard intelligent system.
After arriving on Mars, nearly seven levels of energy have been consumed."
Upon hearing this, most people around the world immediately understood. Does this mean that the spacecraft no longer has enough energy to fly back to the Blue Star?
The whole world was in an uproar for a while, except for a limited number of people who understood that the reason for the acceleration was to avoid being chased by Starscream.
But only William himself understood that all this was directed and performed by himself, for the sake of the Rubik's Cube.
William pretended to be scared, opened his eyes and lied, "Yes, the current energy of the spacecraft is no longer enough for me to fly back to the Blue Star."
Shaking his head, trying to calm down, he smiled reluctantly and said, "However, it is not without good news.
At least without considering the return trip, I have absolutely enough energy on Mars. In this case, there is a lot I can do.
As for the second Mars spacecraft on Blue Star, when I set off, twenty-two days ago, the construction had actually begun.
Now I only need to wait for the completion of the spacecraft in thirty-one days, plus the flight process in twenty-one days.
Fifty-two days later, the second spacecraft will land on Mars with materials and energy.
While being rescued, the new astronauts can work with me to build a simple Mars scientific research base on Mars."
After hearing this, the space center was in an uproar. The reporters all looked at William on the screen in shock.
Someone shouted, "God, does this open up the use of the spacecraft to the outside world?"
When William, who was speaking, heard this, he was silent for a moment and shrugged helplessly, "The technology must be kept secret under the premise that I can survive.
Although I don’t want to speculate maliciously, there is a very real problem:
My supplies,,,".
The scene at the meeting suddenly disconnected. The person in charge of the space center and control room was surprised, and shouted to William in panic and anger,
"Damn it, are you dizzy, or have your head been blown away by the Martian storm? How can such a thing be announced to the public?"
Being scolded, William was secretly happy. Even if he wanted to leave, let alone make up for it, it was just a matter of opening a portal.
And don't forget, he has Starscream's energy core in his hand.
Just look for any reason, just say that you have discovered how to use the energy core and obtained new energy.
It is not impossible to retract the escape cabin and transform it into a sleeping cabin, so that you can sleep all the way back to Blue Star.
But these William will not say that now he deliberately revealed the shortage of supplies to the outside world. He only needs to wait quietly for those who do not want him to return to Blue Star to destroy the second spaceship under construction.
If the spacecraft is destroyed or the construction progress is affected, it will not be able to reach Mars within fifty days.
He can use nuclear energy with the spacecraft engine. In fact, it only meets the reason of one-tenth of the power, and looks for higher energy sources externally.
Then it would be logical to ask Alexander Pierce from Serpentis Shield for the Cosmic Cube.
Although the London Space Center cut off the video communication in the conference room, William finally talked about supplies.
Anyone who is not an idiot will understand that his supplementary notes are not enough.
This allowed people who had always had a deep hatred against William to find an entry point to kill him.
Even some forces who have no hatred can't help but start plotting in order to prevent England from rising again.
Once William, the pride and hope of England, starves to death on Mars, it will only be a matter of time before we can get the technology and wealth he left behind.
William pretended to regret it, apologized several times with a livid face, and said the video was over for today.
He needed to take a bath and have a good sleep to replenish his energy, so as not to make such a stupid mistake again and just hang up the video contact.
As soon as the video was cut off, Hui Hui reported on Sunday, "Sir, the materials and engineering robots for building the Mars base are ready.
You only need to specify the construction coordinates of the base, and we can start construction at any time."
"Well", William looked at the 3D map of the southern hemisphere of Mars shown on Sunday, which was full of mountains and canyons.
"I remember that the detection data said that there are glaciers to the west of Olympus Volcano, the largest mountain on Mars, right?"
"Yes, sir, according to Blue Star's detection, there are indeed traces of glaciers, but the specifics can only be determined by sending a detector to conduct an on-site inspection."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look now."
After saying that, William opened a portal and asked Sunday to drag the remains of Starscream to Planet X17. Then he excitedly started the Mars spacecraft and flew directly to Olympus Mons, the highest volcano in the entire solar system.
