Of course, when night falls, it becomes a time beyond description, and a bout of four-way intense struggles is certainly inevitable.

The next day, Jiang Cheng was once again on the journey to Mars, beginning another busy week.

Actually, Jiang Cheng could go home every day since it takes less than half an hour for the Pioneer to travel from Mars to the Water Ball.

This is almost the same amount of time it takes to commute home from work, and it won't delay his work the next day at all.

As for the cost of flying the Pioneer, that's not an issue for Jiang Cheng.

Although starting the Pioneer each time requires a huge amount of money, for Jiang Cheng, this huge cost is just a small change.

However, in the end, Jiang Cheng gave up on this idea and only returned to the Water Ball once a week.

This decision was mainly made out of consideration for others' feelings.

On Mars, others haven't been home for months, while only he has the privilege to return to the Water Ball.

If Jiang Cheng were to fly back to the Water Ball every day, it would be hard for others not to feel envious upon seeing it.

Although no one can control him, he still has to care for the feelings of others at least a little bit.

Returning to the Water Ball once a week is about 370 kilometers, and going home every day would be a bit too much.

Jiang Cheng alone can't build Mars City, so he still has to be considerate of his subordinates' feelings somewhat.

Anyway, going back once a week is almost enough, and he just needs to stick it out through this period.

Mars City won't be under construction forever; many areas of the dome are nearing completion, and it won't be long before the entire dome is finished.

Once the transparent dome is completed, the whole project is considered to be about halfway done.

Next is the internal construction of the city, including the buildings and the creation of natural and landscaping areas.

Of course, the construction of supporting facilities cannot be missed, like large wireless power transmission equipment and bio-cultivation areas, which are essential.

Once all the facilities are completed, Mars City can be officially put into use.

With the efforts of Jiang Cheng and other astronauts, Mars City is gradually being built.

After a full year of effort, the entire city's construction was finally completed.

Now a city named "Hope Domain" has appeared on the Martian land.

Mars, the desolate red planet, finally has its first immigrant city.

Hope City is the name of this Mars City, which Jiang Cheng specifically chose for it.

Jiang Cheng feels that using "hope" to describe this city is the most fitting thing to do.

Because this city contains the hope of all humanity, whether future resources can be obtained on Mars depends entirely on this city.

Whether humans can step into space and become a cosmic civilization in the future depends on the development of this city.

That's why Jiang Cheng named this Mars city "Hope City."

This name carries Jiang Cheng's expectations and the deepest desires of Jiang Cheng.

Hope City is located on the plains beside Mount Olympos, covering an area of around ten kilometers in circumference.

The gigantic Mount Olympus provides protection for Hope City against numerous fierce sandstorms, ensuring the city's safety.

If viewed from outside the city, it looks like it's enclosed within a transparent glass dome.

This transparent dome is unique to Hope City, capable of protecting the whole city from the harsh climate of Mars.

It can also isolate the inside and outside spaces, ensuring the oxygen in the city does not leak out.

From a vantage point in midair looking down at Hope City, due to the light refraction angle, one can clearly see the full view of the dome.

If you happen to catch it during a sunny spell, you can even see the dome refracting sunlight.

Under the sun's illumination, the dome emits a dazzling brilliance, making the entire city look like a gem—so bright and charming.

However, looking outward from within the city, it's difficult to notice the transparent dome's presence.

Looking out from the city's streets, one can directly view the Martian landscape without any interference from the dome.

If someone doesn't know about the existence of the dome, they might think the city has no protection at all, just exposed to the Martian atmosphere.

Such a person might feel scared and want to evacuate in fear.

Because humans cannot survive under the Martian atmosphere, being exposed without protection on Mars is courting death.

This design utilizes the blind spots of human eyes, making the transparent dome disappear from view through the effect of light refraction.

Of course, the dome has always been there, never disappearing, fulfilling its duty of protecting the humans within the city.

Besides the iconic transparent dome, the internal environment of Hope City is also quite impressive.

The buildings within the city are beautifully constructed, each with unique characteristics and a variety of styles.

If all the buildings in the city were just rectangular blocks, the city would seem depressingly lifeless.

Jiang Cheng certainly would not allow his Mars city to become a lifeless city.

When designing these buildings, Jiang Cheng ensured each building had its own style, so the entire city has no two identical buildings.

The varied architectural styles inject a bit of vitality into the city, as opposed to the rigidity of modern urbanism, significantly animating the city's atmosphere.

In addition to the architectural features, the streets of the city are also very beautiful.

The streets are orderly designed and give off a great impression.

All kinds of plants line the streets, turning the whole city into a giant garden.

All these plants were transplanted from the Water Ball by Jiang Cheng, who took great effort transporting them to Mars via the Pioneer, and finally succeeded in rooting them within the city.

Throughout the city, you can spot an array of landscapes, fountains, statues, and flower areas everywhere.

These diverse sceneries have turned Hope City into a city of art, filled with a literary atmosphere everywhere.

While the city boasts such beautiful surroundings, it is also packed with high-tech products.

First of all, this city can regulate its internal temperature, thanks to the strong thermal insulation of the transparent dome.

Therefore, a giant air-conditioning system is installed in the city, allowing free adjustment of the temperature inside.

This means Hili City can enjoy spring-like weather throughout the year, without concern for external climate conditions.

Besides temperature control, Jiang Cheng has employed many new technologies in the city, such as wireless power transmission, which was long planned to be implemented here, so there is not a single socket to be seen in Hope City because the air is filled with energy everywhere.
