1227 The Prehistoric Mars

"Okay, little guy, we have to count on you now."

Jiang Chen looked speechlessly at the guy in the spacesuit as he released the drone. Then he began to control the spherical drone and flew down the well.

Back on the rover, Wang Qiang took off his spacesuit in the buffer compartment and sat back into the driver's seat. James next to him was drinking coffee while watching the drone disappear down the well.

"Intelligent?"

Wang Qiang leaned back against his seat, then he took a sip of his coffee before he grinned.

"What else? You think it's controlled remotely by the ground command center?"

Even with hyper-light-speed communication based on quantum effects, the delays in communication was Mars and Earth was still in the thousands if not ten thousands milliseconds. The best way to put this into perspective would be like playing an online game where the character lagged by half a minute.
