Chapter 295 Golden Palace
Paradise City is the largest of the 78 Martian immigrant cities.
It has the largest area, largest population and most developed economy.
The glass covers of other cities are only 500 kilometers, 300 kilometers, and 200 kilometers in diameter. The smallest pioneer cities are only 100 kilometers in diameter.
However, due to the development of science and technology, today's cities are very different from those in the past.
Especially the immigrant cities on Mars have a completely different style.
The square commercial buildings have turned into pyramid-shaped buildings, generally with twenty or thirty floors and nearly a hundred meters high.
There is a town hall.
There is a CBD business district.
There is a separate commercial center.
There is a well-functioning campus.
There are large hospitals.
There are industrial areas, livestock farms, fish ponds, and large indoor farms.
Since the gravity of Mars is only 3.77m/s, less than 40% of Blue Star, the transportation in Paradise City is a kind of jet-powered electric flying car. There is no expensive and complicated maglev transportation system. Although the flying car has The noise is a bit loud, but in the three-dimensional space, it is not restricted by the road surface, so it is impossible to encounter traffic jams, and you can land directly in the balcony parking space of the Pyramid Building, which can be called home with one click.
Of course, there are still traffic rules. It is impossible to allow flying cars to fly randomly in the sky. Therefore, the intelligent navigation system will plan the air route for each car and delineate some no-fly zones that cannot be passed. Therefore, flying cars that shuttle back and forth in the air, As if they were traveling on an invisible track, they were lined up in a neat and orderly manner.
"Look, there are people flying in the sky there!"
The sharp-eyed second son Wei Mang pointed at a few small dots flying at low altitude and said.
"That's a jetpack."
Wei Dong is well-informed: "This thing appeared decades ago, but it can only fly for more than ten minutes on Blue Star. It is amazing on Moon Star, but I don't know how it will perform on Mars."
Thinking of this, he pushed his feet hard and jumped more than two meters high, and then fell back to the ground lightly.
"Hahaha, I also want to buy a jetpack and become a trapeze artist."
"I also want!"
Wei Mang also jumped more than two meters high: "I want to compete with you to see who can fly faster."
"childish."
Wei Xue, who was less than ten years old, looked at her two brothers like idiots: "If you keep making trouble, your mother won't punish you."
"Let's go."
Wei Ming, who felt that he had seen something similar, said: "Let's go to our new home."
Take the elevator down to the 100th floor.
Boarding several flying cars that had been prepared, and escorted by air patrols, they arrived at a raised plateau less than a hundred kilometers away from the Central Tower.
This highland is about 300 meters above sea level. There are steep cliffs on the southeast and west sides. Only the north side is gentler. In addition, more than ten kilometers to the north, there is a reservoir with an area of 10,000 acres.
On the flat area at the top of the highland, a giant pyramid-shaped building covering an area of about 100 acres was built. It has super titanium alloy walls and metal corridors one by one. Under the sunlight, it shows a light golden color. It is condescending and very majestic.
Therefore it was named "Golden Palace".
The Golden Palace is surrounded by a metal city wall and a large number of military defense facilities have been built. Once you cross the city wall, you will find that there is something else going on inside.
For example, the small square in the south, the small garden in the east, the small pond in the west, and the large square in the north... Although the Golden Palace is small, it has a great layout and momentum.
The convoy landed in the small square to the south.
After getting off the ground, my feet stepped on the ground that was as solid as metal and stone, and I looked at the main pyramid-shaped building in front of me that covers an area of ten acres and is about forty stories and 200 meters high.
"This is our new home?"
"It's very big, much bigger than the villa we lived in before."
"There must be at least a thousand rooms here. Can we live here?"
"I feel like this place is much better than Blue Star. I feel lighter by more than half, and the air smells very good. It seems to have a sweet smell, and my whole body feels very relaxed." Wei Dong sighed.
"The oxygen content of the air here is 36%, but the atmospheric pressure is only half that of Blue Star, so there is a sweet smell in the air."
Wei Xue on the side said: "But you have to control your breathing rhythm. In order to keep warm, the carbon dioxide concentration of the air here is as high as 1.5%, which may make you short of breath and enter an oxygen-drunk state. Don't get too excited. I Stupid brother."
"I-I'm not stupid." Wei Dong retorted.
"You should say 'handsome and smart brother', and my mother calls me 'the most sensible sister'."
Wei Mang corrected her, "If you can call me that, you will be my 'cutest sister' from now on."
Wei Xue gave him a big roll of her eyes.
…
The dinner was very sumptuous.
However, due to the different environment, water is easy to boil, so there are a lot less steamed and stewed foods, and the types of toasted bread, barbecue, fried meat, and cold dishes have increased a lot, plus some fruits and desserts, which are quite Westernized. Eating style.
But there is no way, it is not to deliberately imitate Western food, but to make some adaptive adjustments according to local conditions.
Of course, the chef's skills are superb and the taste is great, so there is nothing uncomfortable about it.
…
All settled.
After treating a few children who were playing crazy, using hard and soft tactics, I finally got them to sleep.
The 36th floor of the pyramid, master bedroom.
Wearing a pair of silk pajamas, Xu Chuxia, who turned forty this year but was still graceful, elegant and increasingly plump and charming, walked in.
Looking at the man standing on the balcony with his arms folded, enjoying the night breeze and looking at the scenery in the distance.
She walked over, hugged the man's waist, leaned against him, and said softly: "Go to bed early, you've been busy all day."
"Are you satisfied with this new home?" Wei Ming asked.
"Yeah~"
Xu Chuxia nodded: "It's much better than I thought. It's all thanks to you, my husband. Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Ming opened his hands and continued: "78 immigrant cities on Mars and 24 space cities around. After seeing the advantages of space cities as transit stations, the country simply abandoned the transit stations on Mars. When other countries approach Mars, the black hole fleet either captures or attacks them. It can be said that the area near Mars is completely our territory."
"Okay, go to bed quickly, don't be so arrogant." The woman said angrily.
Wei Ming turned his head and saw that her face was flushed, one hand was grasped somewhere, and she looked emotional.
Men are more likely to swell up on Mars - she must have heard this story, and she tried to tease him a little, and he swelled up quickly.
He immediately picked her up by the waist and walked to the bed.
"By the way, after your father lost power, he wanted to live with you on Mars and kneeled down in front of you. Why don't you agree to bring him along?" Wei Ming asked, thinking of something.
"Don't talk about him anymore, I know what he's thinking... Just live our own lives."
"Oh~"
Then there was a rustling sound.
