- **Time setting**: In the year 217 of the New Calendar, "New Dawn", the first permanent colony established by humans on Mars, suddenly lost contact with the Earth. 46 Volunteers formed a rescue team to investigate.
- **Core Mystery**: The surface of the Mars base is intact but all personnel disappeared. The only remaining operation log shows that they all worshiped the black obelisk that suddenly appeared in the center of the base.
- **Technology Level**: It has interstellar navigation capabilities but has not yet achieved faster-than-light travel. Quantum communication technology is mature and there is an experimental neural link combat system.
This time, we will focus on describing the process from the departure of the rescue team to the discovery of the obelisk, as well as the initial stage of the gradual collapse within the team. The first five chapters will show how beautiful ideals are eroded by unknown fears, paving the way for subsequent tragic sacrifices.
Intention: 46 people in the year 217 of the New Calendar
