Chapter 273: Fly to Mars

Since the Mars Explorer was built under the auspices of the United States, the entire spacecraft is not far from the International Space Station.Looking from the observation window of the International Space Station, it seems that on the back of the black velvet universe decorated with broken diamonds, the explorer, which looks like a kayak, is staying there quietly.

Since there is no need to consider issues such as wind resistance when navigating in space, the spacecraft is no longer in that streamlined shape, but is shaped for technological needs.There are huge propelling rockets on both sides of the spaceship. Since the warp drive based on the anti-matter annihilation technology is still being tested, the current existing technology has to be adopted.

The spaceship consists of two floors, the front section of the top floor is the cockpit, the middle section is the experimental cabin, and the rear section is the living cabin.The first half of the ground floor is the warehouse, and the second half is the parking cabin, where the Mars landers are placed.

The entire Explorer can accommodate seven people, and the seven are flying to the International Space Module on the European Union's Ariane rocket.Since this expedition team still shouldered a secret mission, the Water-Blue Planet Joint Defense Committee did not publicize it too much.

Sun Ping is the captain of the expedition and the captain of the Explorer; Spike from the United States is the vice-captain, first officer and scientific officer of the spacecraft; Vladimir is the second officer and chief engineer of the spacecraft; Yuko Oshima is an expedition biologist, spacecraft liaison officer and crew psychological advisor; Montgomery is an engineering expert, spacecraft pilot and safety officer of the expedition; Ouyang Yong is a geological expert and Spaceship navigator and tactical officer.

Before going to the International Space Station, the seven people had been trained on the Water Blue Star for two weeks, and they were already familiar with the very operation.

The crew of seven Explorers will also spend a period of acclimatization on the International Space Station before heading to Mars.The speed of the Explorer is currently the fastest among the spaceships manufactured by humans, so the crew needs to adapt.At the same time, since the explorer is not loaded with artificial gravity equipment, everyone has to live in a weightless environment.

However, because the original design of the International Space Station did not accommodate so many people, the seven crew members were miserable during the adaptation period.Fortunately, the adaptation period was only 72 hours, and the ground commander approved seven people to appear on the stage.

By remote control, Explorer sent a space shuttle to the International Space Station.This is a simple spacecraft, mainly used for personnel and material transportation in space.

After the shuttle docked with the space station, the crew boarded the ship one after another.The driver Montgomery naturally sat in the driver's seat, the chief engineer and the navigator occupied the first row of seats, Sun Ping and the first officer Spike were in the second row, and the others sat in the seats one after another.

Although there is a life support system on the shuttle, everyone did not take off their space suits for safety reasons.After everyone fastened their seat belts, Montgomery drove the shuttle out of docking with the space station, and then accelerated towards the explorer.The shuttle enters the hangar from the rear of the spaceship, and then the lander is printed in everyone's eyes.

The shape of the lander is somewhat similar to a mecha chariot. In addition to accommodating five people and living, there are also two Mars rovers inside: Adventurer and Challenger; and a low-altitude exploration aircraft: Discovery.

After everyone got off the shuttle, they watched the lander for a long time, and then Yuko Oshima suddenly asked: "Even if the gravity of Mars is much smaller than that of the earth, it may be difficult for us to bring the lander back, right? "

"It doesn't matter, because we don't intend to bring her back." Sun Ping explained, "You should know that the Yinghuo Project hosted by the Cathay Kingdom has now opened up the participation of Russia, the United States and the European Union, so our Zhurong Mars Base is also We will get their support. When we return by the return capsule, the Adventurer, Explorer and Discovery will become the equipment of the Zhurong Mars Base; In the event of a major disaster, members of our base can go for refuge.

This time, our landing site on Mars is not far from the construction site of the Zhurong base. There are only a few markers there, and at the same time, a few detection robots are there for exploration.If we can drive away the alien invaders this time, we will build the Zhurong base on Mars.According to our plan, Mars will be our experimental base for future space colonization.

Of course, we also plan to build a Martian resort there, so that we can make some money from the rich. "Sun Ping unscrupulously stated that he planned to use space technology to make money from the rich. This kind of money worship made several crew members who were scientists blushed. Fortunately, Sun Ping didn't care about these things, but brought Then everyone took the elevator to the cockpit. However, the chief engineer Vladimir and the medical officer Emma did not go to the cockpit, but to the power cabin and medical cabin.

The entire cockpit is designed in a curved shape, and the front positions are the main pilot's seat of the driver Montgomery and the co-pilot's seat of the navigator Ouyang Yong.In addition to assisting the pilot, the co-pilot is also responsible for the fire control of the entire spacecraft.As the captain, Sun Ping sat in the center, and there was a display on his left showing some data.The liaison officer Yuko Oshima and the science officer Spike sat in the back respectively, taking charge of the dashboard and display screen in front of them.

After the self-inspection before the ignition of the equipment, everyone fixed themselves in their positions, and Sun Ping began to apply for the start command to the ground command center.After waiting for 1 minute, Sun Ping got the order to start.So after the countdown, the spacecraft ignited and set off.

"Close the front observation window." Sun Ping gave the first order after igniting the ignition.

Unlike other spacecraft, the front of the Explorer's cockpit is an observation window made of special glass.In fact, there is nothing to see in space, so Sun Ping chose to close it to reduce the risk.After the glass window is closed, images and data obtained through various observation equipment are displayed on the glass screen.

"The next two weeks will be a long voyage, and you don't have to stay here. The spacecraft has automatic navigation equipment, and we only need two people on duty every day. One person in the cockpit, one person in the power cabin, and the rest of the crew can move freely in the spacecraft .It’s been quite cramped on the International Space Station for the past few days. I believe everyone hasn’t had a good rest. Except for the chief engineer and me, everyone should go to rest. The shift information will be sent to the communicator in everyone’s bedroom, remember do not be late!"

With the captain's order, everyone happily left their posts and went to the living quarters.The living cabin includes dining room, entertainment room, bathroom, toilet, two large and small bedrooms and the captain's cabin.The captain's cabin is Sun Ping's exclusive rest and living room, as well as his own exclusive washroom.The small bedroom also has an independent toilet, which can accommodate two people to rest, so it is naturally a bedroom for two girls; the big bedroom is a bedroom for four boys.Compared with other spacecraft, everyone has a single bed at least 1.5 meters wide.Although you need to fix yourself when you sleep, you have a lot more freedom, and you are much more comfortable when you sleep.

Although everyone was not resting so comfortably on the International Space Station, they were all young people after all, so instead of going to the bedroom to catch up on sleep, everyone played in the entertainment room, where the girls watched movies, while the boys played. Playing a game console on the other side.Because the sound is output by headphones, they will not disturb each other.Compared with the boring life of the International Space Station, the Explorer is obviously much more relaxed and happy.

Sun Ping was sitting in the driver's seat at this time, and was talking with several leaders of the High Command of the Joint Defense Committee at the same time.The public mission of the explorer is to go to Mars to explore relevant information in the ruins of civilization and help Aquaplanet improve its technological level.In addition, another important purpose is to discover the refuges left by the Martian civilization and evaluate whether they have the possibility of being reused.

The Supreme Command launched the Ark project on the earth, with the purpose of sending a group of elites together with the creatures that human beings must need to several refuge bases on five continents.But High Command had an even more daring plan, known as Project White Dove.

The white dove brought a ray of hope to mankind in the era of the Great Flood, and the High Command also hopes that this will almost bring mankind a tomorrow.The content of the White Dove Project is to send a small number of humans and creatures to Mars for refuge, and at the same time multiply in the Mars refuge base.If the aliens have plundered the Water Blue Planet and retreated, these humans can return to the Water Blue Planet and restart human civilization.

The High Command does not have much information about the Martian refuge, but only speculates on the greatest possibility.Fortunately, there is indeed a real refuge near the predicted location. According to the system data in Sun Ping's brain, this refuge can accommodate about 10 people.At the same time, there are several small-scale refuges near this refuge. These refuges are connected by suspended trains, so the entire refuge group can accommodate about 20 people.

However, the system did not inform whether these shelters could still be used, nor could it know the extent of the damage.If the entire shelter is in ruins, it will be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket.And Sun Ping still needs to try whether he can take over the main control computers of these refuges and adjust the refuges to an environment suitable for human habitation.

For this part of the work, the system refused to help, saying that this was an assessment of the host.However, the system said that since it was an assessment task, the system would award a prize that Sun Ping would never regret.

The explorer sailed alone in space, and something happened on the blue planet.The Ark Project completely divided the human race, and those who were not selected were questioning the joint defense committee's intention to abandon the entire human race.At this time, Park Yinghui, chairman of the Interstellar Peace Council and South Korean President, stood up and called on everyone to boycott the Joint Defense Committee.She dispatched her most powerful publicists: Thigh Times, SuperJoker and Yichapi.

Under their publicity, those young fans went crazy.Waving their long hair, they began to wreak havoc in the city, shouting the council's slogan "vomit".They brought leukemia and inexplicable car accidents to mankind, and also made some scientists lose their memory.

When facing the military police, they used the big killer that Park Yinghui made for them, "BIGBANG"!After hearing "BANG", the military and police all became LOSER, and then kept singing "SORRY SORRY" begging for forgiveness.

"This is their leader, who calls himself God Dead or GD." A member of the Intelligence Bureau of the Joint Defense Committee reported, "His BIGBANG is the most powerful, almost five to ten times stronger than others. Those people call him 'from He of the stars', and he and the backbone around him are also known as the 'harem of the sun'. We have tried to send special forces to approach them, but our raids have failed."
