Chapter 1505: The Expanding Territory

“We made it!”

“Nohat you see on the outside is Himalia, which is more than 700 million kilometers away from Earth… it may become 800 million or more after some time but who cares”

“There is an atmosphere here, but it is not dense, and it iswell, the energy reserves are full, and the oxygen supply is okay The next step is to send an all-terrain rover to investigate the terrain and resource distribution of Himalia… Hou Tao, how much more time do you need?!”

The man roared into the radio, and soon there was a response fro the hydraulic stabilization system… I’ll be done soon Give uy!” The astronaut cussed under his breath, then turned his head around and focused back on the camera, “Based on the rules, we drew straws to decide ill be the first to step on Hinificant as the first person stepping on the Moon and Mars, it’s not a se the camera to the rover after this, and Hou Tao will continue to record…”

After the astronaut finished the last sentence, he tapped a few buttons on the touchpad and ended the video recording

Based on the colonial propaganda strategy of Celestial Trade, all colonial activities would be recorded into videos and sent to Celestial City space Command Center for backup, edited by professionals and published on the official website, and made available to the rest of the society to play, download, and comment

In order to ensure the quality of the recording, a retired reporter, or an experienced professional in filh there were still many differences between this survey shi+p and the colonial shi+p, as the landing here was only regarded as a colonial outpost But after all, it was the first tinificant The survey shi+p also brought a reporter fro Corporation with three years of experience

The screen quickly switched to the all-terrain rover

The 25-year-old astronaut put on his helestured excitedly in front of the can, and then pressed the red button on the control interface

It was his first colonial e Island He had been preparing for this day for more than a year, so he was thrilled at this , the door of the buffer compartment slowly opened, and the rover accelerated to this unknown land

The whole planet was very dark, as the light frohter The places illuray-black soil, and the other places were just darkness

Soon, he arrived at the first inspection site – a lake not far fro site of the second probe

This lake was not big, at least co lake at the south pole of Himalia The probe floated in the middle of the lake, which nore it for the ti

After the astronaut named Hou Tao parked the all-terrain rover not far from the lake, he jumped out of the vehicle and walked carefully to the lake Unlike Mars, the gravity here was very low, and he had to be cable restrained on the vehicle to prevent the situation where he could not get down if he juas for, bitter surface of Himalia

The liquid mixture of methane-ethane was less viscous than water, and if someone stroked their hand across the lake of Himalia, they would not feel the same resistance as water

All in all, it was a wonderful and unique experience, but it was best not to keep his hand in it for too long Even if the spacesuit designed by Celestial Trade used very advanced therenic fluid would still cause a lot of load on the spacesuit’s constant temperature system

Hou Tao squatted down by the lake, took out the sampler from the toolbox, quickly collected about 200ml of the liquid in the lake, and then stuffed it into the saht back to the colonization unit for analysis to determine the hydrocarbon composition and content ratio in the lake

Immediately afterward, he collected about twenty soil saround These soil saical environment and resource distribution of Himalia, and it would be their task in the next while

The head of the outpost received the video data from the rover, edited some information, then sent the data back to Earth After Hou Tao finished all the tasks, he rode the rover back to the buffer compartment of the outpost As the cabin was emptied and refilled with air, he jumped off the car and walked into the disinfection room

“The radiation residue is normal”

“The nu the inspection of microbial residues, Hou Tao unexpectedly discovered that there were tiny microbial residues on the soles of his shoes
