Chapter 9: Sol One, Kunlun Station is a Turtle Shell

From an Earthling's point of view, Kunlun Station was no doubt a simply constructed tent in a desert. The entire Station was formed from two parts.

The first was the Hab. This was where the scientific team resided and completed their missions. The Hab's core was a short circular turtle shell structure made out of aluminum alloy. Its outer shell was made of fortified engineering plastics, and it was deeply rooted in the Mars surface. Its diameter was about fifteen meters long and, from the outside, it looked like a flattened white Mongolian yurt.

The Hab was where Tang Yue mainly resided. It was Kunlun Station's main hall, kitchen, storage room, gym, meeting room, laboratory, and mainframe room. It was home to most of the facilities provided by the Station.

The Hab had seven smaller cabins connected to it in a radial manner. Six of them were the sleeping quarters for the team, with the remaining one an airlock.
