Il was already in the base command center at the moment, and a picture appeared on the huge screen in front of him, and the overwhelming red sandstorm rushed towards the base.
"Report, the wind has reached the tenth level of violent wind." The monitoring staff left and reported the data.
"Continue to monitor" Il said calmly, and continued to stare at the big screen.
Magnetic shields cannot be used as a last resort. This is a matter of principle.
A lot of sand flying over appeared on the big screen, and "retract the monitoring equipment" Il said directly.
Soon, a monitoring device outside began to slowly close, a channel was opened in the base behind him, and the device slowly retreated into the channel.
The irons slowly closed.
It didn't take long before the sandstorm arrived, and the sound of stones hitting the metal plate could be heard, and the sound of "snack" was very rapid.
Space, inside the space station.
"The report shows that the Mars base of Tianqi Group has been completely covered by sandstorms, and no picture has been observed." The staff reported to the person in charge of the space station.
The two major space stations of the United States and the Celestial Dynasty can only wait for news, and now they can't do anything.
The Apocalypse Group’s Mars base, Yier is still in the command center, and the other personnel are in their own rooms, some sleeping, some listening to music, some watching videos,....
Everyone was very calm, without a trace of panic.
Tianqi Group's Mars base is the first in protection. There is nothing to worry about. Everyone has confidence in the base's protection system.
"Dididi" first level alarm sounded, and Il frowned.
"Turn off the sirens and activate the magnetic shield" Il directly ordered.
The staff immediately began to operate, the energy system of the entire base began to work at full capacity, and within ten seconds, an invisible force field appeared.
The stone fragments brought by the sandstorm stopped fifty centimeters away from the base, and more were blown away by the wind.
As if an invisible arc-shaped shield enveloped the Mars base of the Tianqi Group.
Everywhere pictures came across, and both Il and the staff laughed, not at all flustered.
As long as there is no problem with the base's energy, the magnetic shield will always exist, and the increase in wind power outside by several levels will not pose any threat to the base.
Forty minutes passed slowly, and the staff reported that "the wind is showing signs of weakening."
"Start the Mist Project, turn off the magnetic shields and protective forces in the F area, and completely block the F area" Yier directly ordered.
The Misty Plan is a plan made by Tianqi Group to confuse everyone.
Storms on Mars are very common, and the most flammable storms have been reduced in recent years, but this is a cycle, and storms will slowly enter a frequent period.
Once the storm is too destructive and the magnetic shield needs to be activated, you must be prepared to confuse everyone.
A special area is set up, no protection is set up, and it is to accept the devastation of the big storm.
After the big storm retreats, you can expose the picture to let other Mars bases understand that the Apocalypse Group's Mars base, like you, does not have the strength to resist the big storm.
As the Mars plan progresses step by step, the strength comes up, and there is no need to care about the opinions of others at that time.
Soon, the protection system in F area was withdrawn, and the metal gate isolated the entire F area. In about two minutes, the sandstorm completely lifted the F area.
The discarded equipment and some debris placed here were all torn apart by the sandstorm, which is a mess.
As time passed slowly, the sandstorm weakened a lot.
"Turn off the magnetic shield" Il gave the order again.
The staff got busy, gradually reducing the energy supply, and the magnetic shield began to slowly disappear.
Slowly disappearing is the best way. It is good for the equipment and the base. In about five minutes, the magnetic shield disappears completely.
After another hour, the sandstorm calmed down.
Looking from outer space, the entire Mars base of the Tianqi Group was buried in sand and gravel, and an area was completely destroyed.
Broken equipment parts were scattered everywhere, in a miserable situation.
Seeing this picture in space, no one said anything, the expression on their faces was very solemn.
The Apocalypse Group's Mars base resisted this wave of sandstorms, but it also suffered heavy losses.
If you change to another base, will it be completely smoothed out? When this picture appeared in these people's minds, everyone trembled.
I dare not think about it anymore.
Early that morning, the official website of Tianqi Group and Tianqi Space Group released more than 100 photos, all of which were photos of the damage to the Mars base of Tianqi Group.
The story of this Martian dust storm was introduced in detail. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Apocalypse Group urges companies that have established bases on Mars to increase their investment in Mars bases. It is necessary to spend 50 or 60 billion euros.
Apocalypse Group spent more than 60 billion Euros to avoid casualties, but not to keep the base intact.
If you don't invest so much, don't send astronauts to Mars, it is too dangerous.
The media also began to forward reports frantically. Anyone who saw the news couldn't help but exclaim that the picture was so real.
Many people were relieved when they saw that there were no casualties.
Finally, seeing the appeal issued by Tianqi Group, many people felt the same.
If the protection power of the Apocalypse Group is not achieved, sending the astronauts to the past is completely to die.
Soon, the call for comprehensively strengthening the protection capabilities of the Mars base began to appear, and it was still required to use the Mars base of the Tianqi Group as the standard.
This makes a lot of people pain.
Old DuPont looked at the voices of these people with contempt.
"A group of brain-disabled people can build an interstellar spacecraft with more than 60 billion euros, all of which are invested in the protection of the Mars base, which is simply a waste."
"A few years, there has been a sandstorm. Is it necessary to be so nervous?" Old DuPont said to himself, without taking this kind of thing to heart.
Within a few days, old DuPont, Musk and others all issued statements stating that they would strengthen the protection of the Mars base, and the company would allocate funds for transfer.
Life is priceless, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it.
The slogans were loud, and there was no actual action at all. It would be a waste to spend money on this.
The two thoughts were surprisingly consistent.
The national-level Mars base has made some changes and allocated a certain amount of funds to strengthen the base's protective force when the spacecraft goes to Mars next time.
Many caring people were relieved to see the tragedy of the Mars base of Tianqi Group.
Tianqi Group's vigorous development of the Mars base has eased the pressure on these people.
Let Tianqi Group continue to invest. Maybe the next Martian dust storm can uproot the Mars base, and all the investment will be wiped out.
They didn't realize that their guard against Tianqi Group was weakening.
Even caring people don't worry about Tianqi Group's vigorous development of the Mars base at all.
A sandstorm can cause such a large loss. Once the most terrifying storm on Mars appears, it is not a problem to uproot these Martian bases.
There is no need to care about the large-scale development of Mars by Tianqi Group.
Some people even hope that Tianqi Group will continue to increase investment. After a few years, the great storm will make Tianqi Group lose everything.
There are all kinds of psychology.
This also indirectly shows that the mist plan has worked, with a loss of less than 100,000 euros at a time, and the results achieved are quite amazing.
On this day, the British announced that the Mars base plan was postponed for half a year, and the government required relevant agencies to redesign the drawings to ensure that the base can withstand sandstorms of this scale.
If this design cannot be completed, the issue of establishing a base on Mars will not be considered for the time being.
Because the life of the astronaut is more important.
After the news was released, it even received unanimous praise in the UK, which surprised the bigwigs.
The reason for this announcement is that one is really worried about the big storm on Mars, and the other is that preparations for other aspects are not in place, and funds are a bit tight.
This announcement was made to delay time. I didn't expect this effect to be there. It was a little surprise.
In the Celestial Kingdom, Xu Ping'an looked at the information collected by the Protoss on the computer and slowly nodded. The Mist Project was effective, which is certain.
In the future, even if the Tianqi Group moves a little bit on the Mars base, those people can accept it.
A smile slowly appeared on Xu Pingan's face.
"Xingling, to what extent has the internal review been conducted?" Xu Ping'an asked directly, his mind jumping quickly.
"It will take about three months to complete" Xingling directly replied.
"Hurry up, and strive for results within two months. This year is about to end. I hope that actions can be launched at the end of this year to clear these people out of the Tianqi Group," Xu Ping'an said directly.
"Okay" The Protoss agreed and fell silent.
Day by day, James of Edreus has prepared a batch of materials for the reconstruction of the Mars base, which can be shipped after the Earth returns more than 20 days later.
On this day, an interstellar spacecraft returned to Earth, not from the Apocalypse Group, but from the Celestial Enterprise.
The alliance has reached an agreement to concentrate its efforts on the construction of a joint Mars base. This time the Enterprise returns and when it sets off again, a hundred astronauts will go to Mars with them.
After another period of time, the Apocalypse Group’s interstellar spacecraft Earth returned and steadily stopped on the Island of Edreus to begin maintenance.
At this time, a discordant voice appeared. The YD country and Canada joined a dozen countries to propose a proposal in the United Nations to establish a joint Mars base.
Those countries that are unable to build a Mars base should also have the right to develop Mars.
The costs are shared by countries all over the world.
