The next day.
Tomcat and Tang Yue took the entire morning to obtain another twenty specimens in an area spanning one square kilometer.
Kunlun Station was located on the northern hemisphere of Mars, the Isidis Planitia. This was a circular basin spanning 1,500 kilometers in diameter, the result of a meteorite strike 3.9 billion years ago. The reason Kunlun Station was located here was because experts in the Mars lander program suspected that the Isidis Planitia had large quantities of ice. Later missions for Kunlun Station were to seek out and develop these hidden water resources, to prepare for the advancement of the landing missions.
In the next Mars landing mission, it was planned for Earth to send a modified Mars rover which had the capability of making long-distance travel. Future scientific teams would then be able to drive the rover and cross the vast plains.
Unfortunately, Earth had disappeared. The entire project had come to a halt as a result.
