Chapter 135: Mark’s Visit
Land looked around, and everyone was staring at him with gloomy faces. He immediately knew that his behavior had provoked public anger.
He gave an awkward laugh and reluctantly put the cube back into the box.
“Sorry, Boss, Mr. Fan, I was too excited just now.”
Seeing this, Fan Ren shook his head inwardly. This kind of person at the Mars Base would definitely be an unstable factor.
“Captain Neto, you hold this in your hand. Um, and this lady, you too.”
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Fan Ren directly decided on the users for these two sets of nano-coats.
This female team member had been following behind Neto from the beginning until now, and had also timely helped Neto out of trouble. At least on the surface, no unexpected factors could be seen.
Neto and Lia did not dare to disobey Fan Ren’s order. Upon hearing it, they exchanged a surprised glance and then each took a cube in hand.
Fan Ren nodded to A’dai and then walked to one side. These operation and usage methods could be taught by A’dai.
Inside the base, dozens of resident personnel of various skin colors were watching eagerly at this moment. Although separated by windows, everything happening inside could not be hidden from these people.
Fan Ren took all this in his eyes and immediately felt that the overall quality of the garrison personnel at this base was far inferior to that of the Great Xia Lunar Base.
After observing for a while, A’dai over there had also finished.
Fan Ren had no mood to stay any longer and directly led Neto and Lia out.
Under A’dai’s instructions, after the pressurization chamber door closed, they put on oxygen tanks and fastened their masks on their faces.
Immediately after, gray nano-coats simultaneously appeared on the bodies of the five people in the cabin.
Over there, Neto, using the new technology for the first time, had his hand on the button to open the cabin door but hesitated somewhat.
This nano-coat felt like nothing when worn on the body, but outside, because it was already night, the temperature had dropped to over minus 50 degrees.
If he ran out naked like this, he had no doubt that he would be frostbitten in an instant.
Fan Ren smiled. Wasn’t his first time the same feeling? He just hadn’t said it out loud at the time.
He stepped forward and placed his hand on the back of Neto’s hand.
The air pressure in the pressurization chamber immediately vented wildly outward, but a trace of surprise appeared on Neto’s face.
There was really no discomfort at all.
After taking the two, who were wearing nano-coats for the first time, for a turn outside, Fan Ren did not plan to stay longer and directly walked into the spaceship cabin with A’dai and Dan Wu.
“Neto, Lia, wish you a smooth mission and return to Blue Star soon.”
Fan Ren stood at the cabin door, waved to the two below to send his blessings, and then closed the cabin door.
Neto pulled Lia to a distance away, stopped to look back, and the three huge nozzles of the spaceship immediately ejected fierce tail flames.
The sand and dust below were directly blown into a haze, instantly covering the entire spaceship.
Just a few seconds later, the spaceship’s figure shot out above the smoke and dust.
The Xinghai LOGO on the belly was like a rocket launching, carrying the spaceship speeding toward the horizon.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Neto watched this scene and murmured, “The gap is too big.”
Beside him, Lia walked closer, gently held Neto’s hand, and said softly, “It’s okay. Our president now has a very good relationship with them. Look, our current supplies are transported by them.”
She paused in tone, a hint of determination in her eyes, and continued, “Temporary backwardness is nothing. On the contrary, when Great Xia was behind us back then, they were even more desperate.”
Neto turned his head and gave her a strange look.
Lia’s gaze was innocently cute.
Five days later, the shuttle slowly docked at the Space Hub Port under automatic navigation control.
The streamlined exterior and petite body of this spaceship immediately attracted waves of onlookers.
This was the first time the workers at the Space Hub had seen this spaceship go out on a mission.
Everyone felt extremely novel.
After Fan Ren walked out of the spaceship connection passage, he immediately saw Mark and a group of Spitz Company attendants standing not far away, staring blankly at his shuttle.
Um, it needed a resounding name.
That way, it could sell for a good price in the future.
Fan Ren walked forward and came directly in front of everyone.
Due to the special status of the Space Hub, although ownership belonged to Xinghai Technology, security work had always been handed over by Fan Ren to the Great Xia Military Headquarters for management.
So even though Mark’s status was now extremely noble, being in this special area at the moment, the people around him were just a few military headquarters security personnel.
Fan Ren found it amusing. This guy would rather bring a group of Spitz Company engineers than General Office officials.
But this was also one of the reasons why Fan Ren was willing to befriend him.
“Peregrine Falcon, high-speed deep space shuttle. One-way between Earth and Mars in 5 Blue Star days. Can land directly on Mars and Blue Star surface, designed payload 5 tons. Has 4 crew cabins.”
Fan Ren temporarily named the spaceship. The peregrine falcon is one of the fastest flying birds on Blue Star.
The resounding name was indeed worthy of this shuttle.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Mark turned to glance at Fan Ren, then immediately turned his gaze back to the Peregrine Falcon outside the window, as if he couldn’t get enough of it.
“No matter how beautiful, it has nothing to do with you. It’s too expensive. You can’t afford it. A’dai, take their engineers up for a tour.”
Fan Ren instructed A’dai behind him, then ignored Mark’s strong request to tour the spaceship and pulled him toward his office.
His office was still being organized by Zeng Yingying, because it involved too many secrets. Although the two were already married, Fan Ren was too lazy to find someone else to handle his secretary work.
Fortunately, Zeng Yingying was happy with this, and the two worked together as always.
“Not even a chair. Is this how you entertain the current United States president?”
Mark looked around after entering. Although the gravity here meant no need to sit to conserve energy, it still looked too shabby.
“Stop being picky. Look at this.”
Fan Ren smiled and changed the subject, handing over the tablet, which was playing the video of their earlier landing on the Arctic Glacier ice field on Mars.
Seeing this, Mark immediately perked up. Although the Mars Project was not progressing quickly at present, if the North Pole water source issue could be explored as soon as possible, it wouldn’t hurt to increase investment to promote the relevant immigration plan.
Now in the high position of president, he knew that ordinary people were extremely dissatisfied with the aerospace industry lagging behind Great Xia.
Only the Mars Project could truly restore public confidence in the authorities.
“That is a huge and extremely flat permanent ice field. We have done sampling and tested it at your Mars Base. The result is surprising. These are water sources with very high purity.”
Fan Ren’s calm voice sounded in his ear, but Mark became puzzled upon hearing this.
