Mars was empty until we appeared on it. In 2026, the first colonists from Earth go to the Red Planet. Their mission is to create favorable conditions for life on Mars, on the surface of which the pioneers are already waiting for various devices and mechanisms abandoned here by cargo ships. Future Martians plan to melt the polar caps, raise the temperature of the atmosphere and populate the surface of the planet with bacteria... But among the colonists there are those who do not agree to change the original appearance of the Red Planet, those who wish to declare Mars an independent state from Earth, and they are ready to fight for their convictions to the last!
