Zero Point Port is located near the meridian of Mars.
It has been established for more than three months.
It relies on continuous supplies from the Lighthouse State every two months.
So far, the port has a population of 5,410 people and a complete life support system.
Constant temperature, supply of oxygen, and production of food and fresh water.
However, when they saw the appearance of Zero Point Port with their own eyes, the employees of the East Galaxy Company's combined fleet couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, as if their dreams were shattered.
"Look, this is the Lighthouse Country.
We have surpassed them."
Qiao Canal pointed proudly at Zero Point Port, which was like a shabby little village not far away.
Due to the lack of materials in the early stages of port construction, all the building materials used were temporary materials.
It is a volcanic ash material on the surface of Mars, which is convenient for mass production.
The only flaw is that the material is relatively rough and its strength is average.
After only a few months, pits and dents can be seen everywhere.
"Yes."
Another employee next to them echoed.
Somehow, when they saw that Zero Point Port in the Lighthouse Country was not as good as the Lunar City, they felt a sense of pride in their hearts.
"This is their fusion power station" “This is an immigration area” The employees pointed and pointed, and occasionally encountered something that was beyond their expectation and did well, and they behaved very calmly.
"Their port has a semi-open structure.
It uses the thin atmosphere of Mars to maintain the oxygen circulation near the airport, and there are fewer occasions to wear protective clothing, which is not bad."
"Yes, it's a very practical technology.
How did they solve the water problem?
Why didn't they choose to build a freshwater treatment plant near the Martian ice cap?"
"After all, it is too far.
The distance from Meridian Land to the Ice Cap is at least 3,000 kilometers.
In addition, the current population does not consume much water resources.
The immigrants from the lighthouse country are not idiots.
There is no need to be so anxious to develop it."
Fortunately, the employees' comments were not heard by the immigrants at Zero Point Port.
Otherwise, I don't know what they would think and whether they would want to tear them apart.
After stepping out of the spacecraft, they were greeted by a team of 300 people sent from Zero Point Port.
"Everyone from East Galaxy Company, welcome to Zero Point Port."
The official who received them was the mayor of Zero Point Port, Princeton, who once served as the governor of Alaska.
After a friendly conversation between the two parties, the members of the joint fleet were then arranged to stay in the immigration area of the port.
This was because the port had not yet built hospitality facilities such as hotels.
The advantage was that they could more directly see the reality of ordinary immigrants.
Life.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
Several employees met and walked outside.
They couldn't help but complain when they saw that Lingdian Port was not as prosperous as a lunar city, not even a commercial district, and supplies were rationed.
"It will take at least 5 days."
An experienced employee told them, "This is not the earth.
There are modern loading and unloading lines.
Thousands of tons of materials are not taken away at the drop of a hat, but loaded up at the drop of a hat."
"Also, I heard that Minister Wang plans to discuss the price again, so we have to delay for a while."
"Oh, really?"

an employee came over and asked, "What's going on?"
"Initially, we had unilateral negotiations with Lingdian Port and discussed the intention and price of the goods.
But in the final analysis, it was an intention and no contract was signed.
I heard that Taoyuan Port in the neighboring country of Yetu wanted to join in.
Therefore, why don't we Lower your prices to get more benefits.”
"Think about it, the trade department brought 5,000 tons of goods, and the exploration department's spacecraft also carried 2,000 tons.
It also included daily necessities, helium 3, composite materials, and production equipment.
What would you think of if the other party got it?
help" The employees laughed and said, "When the time comes, we ask the lighthouse country for another few billions, and we will make a lot of money this time."
The rest of the employees also laughed strangely when they understood.
The immigrants passing by saw their weird clothes and strange looks, and they didn't recognize their identities for a while, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
The employee who just spoke guiltily glanced at several of his companions.
One was from Yetu, another was from South Africa, and another was from Victoria.
Well, there were no Lighthouses among them, so it wasn't a big problem.
They stopped talking and wandered around.
"The immigrants from the Lighthouse Country are in good spirits."
"After all, the slogan of the Lighthouse Nation's planet expansion is also about conquering the stars and the sea, which is still very attractive."
"I don't know if they will develop any mental illness after living a hard life for several months.
Anyway, I think necessary entertainment activities are necessary to help improve work efficiency."
They unknowingly walked to the fusion energy power station and city hall in Port Zero.
Employees soon discovered that these places were guarded by soldiers armed with guns and ammunition.
No one could get too close.
Even immigrants working there had to go through identity checks before they could enter.
"You are so stingy.
Do you think we are interested in stealing their secrets?"
The employees were a little annoyed when they saw that they were being blocked.
"The lighthouse is guarding us.
Fortunately, we don't want to go shopping and go back to rest."
Another employee suggested.
"It's so rare to go to Zero Point Port, wouldn't it be a pity to just go back like this?"
Some employees also had different opinions.
"But, look, this area is less than 500,000 square meters in total, and almost all the places that can be visited are gone."
There is an atmosphere on Mars.
Its density is less than 1% that of the Earth.
Its main component is not oxygen, but up to 95% carbon dioxide.
This makes its living environment theoretically better than that on the moon.
At the same time, there are The atmosphere means there will be natural meteorological changes, which can even lead to natural disasters.
"What's going on?"
While several employees were discussing whether to go or stay, they heard an alarm sound coming from inside Zero Point Port, and an evacuation notice was issued in pure English.
Fortunately, the employees could barely hear the general meaning, "It's a dust storm, a Martian dust storm is coming," the employees shouted loudly.
"This is really unexpected."
The employee's face showed a little panic, and he had the impression that nothing similar happened on the moon.
They carefully recalled the preparations before departure, and remembered that Mars was shrouded in dust storms for a quarter of the year.
Moreover, the dust storms stretched for half of the planet, with a height of more than 80 kilometers and a speed of more than 180 meters per second.
It's very powerful.

"The evacuation notice said, everyone, don't panic.
Zero Point Port is a sunken structure and will not face the dust storm head-on.
There is no danger if you hide in your own house."
"We'd better go back quickly."
The employees said, they didn't want to die on Mars.
This time they finally reached an agreement
