Everyone was well-trained and immediately fell down behind the short mud wall they had just built and wrapped the spacesuits with canvas or other coverings. This was to protect the spacesuits from being penetrated by sand and gravel!

"Get down!" Du Xingyu pulled Xu Lianqiu over, handed her a piece of canvas, and they lay down together behind the mud wall. At this time, they could no longer care about the Mars rover and the modular robot.

Just as they were avoiding it, a sudden dust storm took shape, and billowing sand and dust hit from a distance! The momentum is so huge that it covers the sky!

"Everyone pay attention and protect yourselves. The Yinghuo monitors dust storms and prepares for rescue!" Du Xingyu shouted.

"Yes!" Everyone slowed down their breathing and waited quietly.

It is now noon on Mars, and it is close to the equator of Mars. The sun should be shining brightly, but at this moment the entire sky is pitch black, and the billowing sand and dust cover everything!

In this boundless darkness, the storm carries flying sand and rocks, sweeping away all obstacles around it!

It’s noisy! Even through their spacesuits and masks, they could clearly hear the sound of the impact of sand and gravel, especially the "dong dong dong" sound they made when hitting the rover and module robot, which sounded terrifying. Existence strikes in the darkness!

Xu Lianqiu said in the communicator: "Everyone, please don't move. This dust storm should pass soon. Protect your spacesuit, and repair it in time if it is penetrated by sand and gravel... In addition, the Martian dust storm will carry a large amount of There will be static electricity and even thunder and lightning! Please try not to talk later!”

"Rumble..." As if to verify what Xu Lianqiu said, a deafening thunder exploded in the dust storm, and the lightning disappeared instantly and was covered by the wind and sand.

Even astronauts with the best psychological quality will feel terrified when experiencing such a situation on an alien planet.

Although Xu Lianqiu was warning his teammates, there was some nervousness in his own voice. Everyone knows the truth, but when they are in such a disaster scene, no one dares to be sure that their judgment is correct.

The dust storm was getting bigger and bigger, and Du Xingyu felt countless gravel projectiles hitting his body, causing pain all over his body. The most terrible thing is that a board he used to cover was blown away due to the increase in wind force, and the sand and gravel hit him even more painful!

Just when Du Xingyu was ready to endure the pain, a hand grabbed him and pulled him into the depression behind the low wall. A piece of canvas from the rover wrapped his body and wrapped it with another body. .

Du Xingyu knew that this was Xu Lianqiu.

Neither of them spoke, and they hugged each other in a tacit understanding, trying their best to wrap the canvas around the two of them to resist the attack of the Martian dust storm.

In the Earth Command Center, due to signal delays, everyone had just learned of the Mars dust storm.

At this time, they could only contact the Yinghuo spacecraft, and the astronauts' signals were difficult to receive due to sandstone and static interference.

Time passed by minute by second. Although Du Xingyu and Xu Lianqiu couldn't feel each other's breathing through their spacesuits, they felt inexplicably more secure, and their nervous heartbeats gradually calmed down. From classmates to colleagues to carrying out missions to Mars together, they are familiar with each other.

At this moment, on this alien planet, in the roaring dust storm, the fate of the two people was connected.

I don’t know how much time passed, but every moment in the dust storm seemed to be very long. In the darkness, Du Xingyu heard the voice on the communicator.

"Captain! Teammates, this is the Yinghuo. If you hear me, please answer." It was Shen Yan's voice. She and Jiao Mengyun had been waiting in the spacecraft.

The Martian dust storm that just swept through did not have much impact on the Mars spacecraft weighing more than 500 tons.

"Roger, I'm Du Xingyu!" Du Xingyu shouted into the communicator, "How is the dust storm situation now?"

"According to satellite monitoring, the dust storm has moved and you are safe!" Shen Yan replied.

Du Xingyu has already felt that the power of the nearby dust storm is decreasing.

"Every team member reports the situation." Du Xingyu shouted.

"Su Peng received it, I'm safe now!"

"Xu Rui received it. The outer layer of my spacesuit is damaged, but the inner protective layer is intact and safe."

"Xu Lianqiu received it, everything is safe!"

Except for some external damage to the spacesuit, everything was fine. Du Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this time the dust storm was successfully dealt with.

The wind and sand gradually subsided, Du Xingyu opened the canvas on his body, and the sun shone on him again.

He squinted his eyes and saw Xu Lianqiu, who was covered in gray, also squinting at him. Through the glass mask, he could see a warm smile on her pretty face.

"Captain!" Su Peng ran over and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Du Xingyu pulled Xu Lianqiu up and said, "Fortunately we found it early."

Su Peng looked around and said, "I'm going to test the rover and module robot!"

Everyone immediately began to clean up the surroundings. A few people whose outer spacesuits were damaged drove the rover to the spacecraft to sew and replace them, while others continued to work.

"Everyone, please work harder and build the base as soon as possible so that we don't have to suffer like this!" Du Xingyu encouraged everyone.

"Xu Rui, let's continue to check the wind direction and temperature!" Xu Lianqiu also packed up and set out again to do environmental monitoring stations around the area.

"Reporting to the ground, everything is normal with the Mars mission team and we have resumed base construction!" Du Xingyu connected to the Earth Command Center.

"Okay! You guys handled it very well. Remember, always put safety first!" He Jingcheng and others finally felt relieved.

A few hours later, Du Xingyu led the team back to the spacecraft, and today's work ended. The foundation of the Mars base has just been laid, and it will be initially completed in at least twenty days.

Lying on the bed, Du Xingyu opened his notebook, wrote "Mars Diary", and then sent a short video.

"Hello everyone, we are building a Mars base and suddenly encountered a Martian dust storm..." In the video, the yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, accompanied by lightning and thunder, giving people a breathless feeling.

“The sense of immersion is so strong, I feel like I’ve been buried alive!”

"???Can Mars also thunder? Isn't this a special effect?"

"Hello everyone, I picked up this phone on Mars, and this was the video on the phone at the time."

" @Earthwatch, is the author still there?"

"Oh my god, it's so scary!"

"This is the power of nature. Although we can land on Mars, we humans are still so small in front of the Martian dust storm!"

"Is everyone okay?"

As soon as Du Xingyu's short video was released, it received millions of views within ten minutes. During the time he was working on Mars, his Douyin fans had reached 10 million, which brought him a lot of attention. Energy points.

This short video not only quickly climbed onto the short video hot list, but also became a hot search on other platforms. Many enthusiastic netizens sent private messages to Du Xingyu asking about their situation.

There was no other way, so Du Xingyu had to update another one, saying: "Don't worry, everyone. The Martian dust storm just now was a local temporary dust storm. We have successfully avoided it, and everyone is safe."

"In the coming days, we will continue to build a Mars base and conduct scientific research missions. You can follow my short video account - Earth Observation."

Netizens were relieved: "I was shocked!"

"Observe the earth, observe anywhere but the earth!"

"Updated, "Surviving Mars"!"

"I wish you peace!"
