The sun rose once again across the sparse desert as Tang Yue finished moving the solar panels. He sat amid the Battery Farm and looked into the distant land.
This made Tang Yue recall the Taklamakan Desert. During his training, he and Old Wang had gone to Lop Nur, one of the places on Earth with the closest environment to Mars. The two had set up a tent in the desert as they looked up at the starry sky. As they were so far from human civilization, the milky way displayed itself over their heads with full grandeur. Old Wang pointed at the desert and asked if he knew Peng Jiamu. Peng Jiamu was a biochemist and explorer who had died there.
Back then, Tang Yue tried imagining a deserted planet, but as an Earthling, he found it hard to imagine what kind of desert would be big enough to prevent him from walking out.
Now, he had seen for himself the truly boundless desert.
