Tech overlords start with a baby

Chapter 241

Inside the Martian crater, Zhang Kai could see the storm in the distance approaching quickly as soon as he looked up.

It won't be long before the brink of the storm arrives.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

At this moment, Zhang Kai, who was alone on this lonely Mars, wished that the sample collection equipment could spin as fast as a drilling rig.

Looking at the collection progress on the monitor, Zhang Kai was extremely anxious.

time is life.

At this moment, it is truly felt.

I don't know if it was because the storm kept moving. In space, Zhang Kai, Qian Zhubin and Li Haiyan were called constantly, and the communication with the Mars lander was once again connected.

"Zhang Kai, that's great, I finally got in touch with you again."

"The ground command center has issued the latest order, asking you to return immediately, return immediately."

"Please answer."

Seeing that the collection progress bar had reached 90%, Zhang Kai decided to take a gamble.

If he gave up like this now, even if he went back alive, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Zhang Kai clearly understands that neither his age nor his body is allowed to set foot on Mars again.

"Zhang Kai, please answer when you receive it."

……

Li Haiyan repeated the shouting over and over again, but there was no response at all.

Seeing that the Mars lander still has a communication connection, Zhang Kai, Qian Zhubin and Li Haiyan could not be contacted and had to send some important information to the main computer of the Mars lander in the form of text.

100%
! ! ! !
Soil sampling complete!The last task was finally completed.

However, at this time, Zhang Kai was no longer in a happy mood.

Because...the wind is blowing.

The dust in the distance was flying like a dust storm on a blue star.

The difference is that dust storms in the afterlife are the color of sand in the desert.

But in front of him is red.

There is a strange smell everywhere.

Zhang Kai didn't have time to take a second look. If he doesn't return to the Mars lander now, with his small body, he is afraid that he will be blown away by the storm.

The other half, in the Blue Star ground central control command center, all people can do is pray.

Due to the time difference, Blue Star, which is 9600 million kilometers away, is destined to be of little help.

Time passed by every second, and every second received information from the Huoying manned spacecraft 5 minutes ago.

There is more depression in the central control command center.

According to the normal process, the Mars lander needs to perform self-inspection on the Mars lander before it takes off.

On this unmanned Mars, there is only one Mars lander. If there is a problem with the Mars lander, then Zhang Kai will stay on this planet forever.

At the juncture of crisis, Zhang Kai's potential was fully stimulated, and a large amount of adrenaline flowed into every corner of the body through the blood circulatory system.

In such a state, even though the heartbeat has reached 180 beats per minute, Zhang Kai's mind is indeed very clear.

The heart rate is too fast, and the alarm is always in my ear.

Zhang Kai, who fastened his seat belt, turned off the alarm manually.

Zhang Kai took out the operation manual and glanced at it, and directly gave up the self-inspection process of the Mars lander.

Time simply doesn't allow it!
The next moment, without any hesitation, Zhang Kai directly pressed the ignition button of the engine.

Next, it's all up to fate.

The moment Zhang Kai pressed the button, light blue flames shot out from the bottom of the Mars lander.

A huge and powerful force pushed the Mars lander away from the bottom bracket and slowly rose, getting faster and faster.

Before Zhang Kai was happy for a while, the harsh red alarm sounded in the Mars lander.

Looking at the display on the display, in just a moment, the Mars lander was changed by the sudden increase in the storm's flight trajectory.

The Mars lander fell in an arc like a sky monkey.

Fortunately, the balance system of the Mars lander adjusted its attitude in time, allowing the Mars lander to continue its rapid lift-off.

It's just... the Mars lander has seriously deviated from its original flight path.

Viewed from above, the huge storm is already visible to the naked eye.

On the spacecraft, Qian Zhubin and Li Haiyan only knew that the Mars lander had taken off.

However, the time has come, and the Mars lander has not yet flown out of the clouds.

"Failed?"

Although deep down I hope for miracles, the reality is often cruel.

Inside the spaceship, Qian Zhubin and Li Haiyan both seemed a little silent.

However, in the next second, there was a beeping sound inside the spacecraft.

"Communication reconnection succeeded."

Qian Zhubin and Li Haiyan were only stunned for a moment, and indescribable joy flooded their hearts.

At this moment, even Qian Zhubin, a big man, was moved to tears.

"Mars lander deviated from its intended orbit and is recalculating."

Soon the results of the computer calculations on the spacecraft came out.

Just facing the results shown above, Qian Zhubin and Li Haiyan both broke out in a cold sweat.

The Mars lander, which has deviated from its intended orbit, has just enough fuel to send it to far-Earth orbit.

This is also the result of sacrificing steering, leaving the fuel used by the attitude balance engine to the main engine.

All this is because at the time of design, although 20% of the fuel was reserved, the increase in the weight of the astronauts was ignored.

Yes, the extra ten pounds of meat almost killed Lao Zhang.

I don't know if Lao Zhang will lose weight after he knows the truth.

"Apply to the ground central control and command center to manually drive the Huoying manned spacecraft and actively dock the Mars lander."

"clear."

It is already a great luck that the Mars lander can reach far-Earth orbit.

Wanting to make the powerless Mars lander and Firefly dock actively is simply a nonsense.

"How does it feel?"

"It feels great to be back in space."

"You should lose weight."

There is no refutation, and even Zhang Kai himself agrees very much.

"Yeah, I really should lose weight."

"The extra ten pounds of meat almost made me never see my wife and daughter again."

"I have asked Li Haiyan to apply for the acceleration of the spacecraft to the ground, and manually dock with you."

"Okay, the battery on the Mars lander is limited, I'll keep the radio silent for now."

"Communication is over."

Bluestar responded quickly, allowing the astronauts to rescue the Mars lander.

During this period, make your own decisions according to the actual situation.

Seeing the teacher and a group of staff members dancing happily like a group of children, Mo Jingchun also laughed.

It was too depressing before, and the depressed people couldn't breathe.

----

As the docked hatch opened, Zhang Kai pushed a cylinder into the spacecraft first.

This cylinder is filled with soil from Mars.

Meeting again, Zhang Kai, who took off his space suit, and his two teammates hugged fiercely.

"Your kid's life is really big!"

Qian Zhubin punched Zhang Kai and said with a laugh.

"Let's report safety to the ground first."
