Origin of Mars

Chapter 53 Arrival
October 2014, 10, this is a memorable time.

At 48:[-] p.m., all members of AIM were ready in the control room, waiting quietly.

In another 23 minutes, the Pickup Fire spacecraft, which is already in Mars orbit, will pass through the Martian atmosphere and reach the surface of Mars.

This will be an experience like no one has seen before, and no one will come since.

AIM has designed a set of the most advanced landing system for the spacecraft, which can minimize the risk factor as much as possible.

Although AIM has had the experience of successfully landing a Mars exploration lander.

But machines are not humans. After entering the upper layers of Mars at a speed of 2.1 kilometers per hour, they will enter a period of "7 minutes of horror". During this process, the astronauts inside the spacecraft will bear the pressure several times their own body weight, which is unimaginable. oppression.

The successful landing is only the beginning of the plan to pick up the fire.

How they want to face the mechanical civilization that has grown into lush branches on Mars is the key.

"How much longer."

Yu Han asked in a deep voice.

"Nine minutes, teacher."

Lin Lu glanced behind him. All the staff members were already on standby at their respective positions. At this time, the whole AIM was filled with firm and high spirits.

It was the emotion that united everyone.

"it is good."

Yu Han nodded and responded in a low voice.

Even though his tone was firm, Lin Lu, who knew his temperament well, could hear a trace of worry.

"Teacher, it's fine. We've done everything we can. With the protection capabilities of the Pickup Fire spacecraft, it shouldn't be a problem to pass through the Martian atmosphere."

"I know, but I'm more worried about the other thing, what will that armored alien creature do to them?"

Yu Han shook his head, staring intently at the main control screen in front of him.

On the screen is the internal picture of the Pickup Fire spacecraft. The two astronauts are checking all the equipment in turn to ensure that everything is ready.

During the passage through the atmosphere, that is, during those 7 minutes, due to strong electromagnetic interference, the communication between the AIM and the spacecraft will be temporarily cut off.

Only when the spacecraft is about to reach the surface of Mars will the screen communication be linked again.

"3 minutes."

"1 minutes."

Lin Lu glanced at the time and took a long breath.

His hands were also trembling slightly, and it was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous.

The entire AIM control room was silent, only the sound of instruments echoed one after another.

"Entering atmosphere, shields on, losing footage."

A researcher said hastily.

And at the other end of the space, the Pickup Fire spacecraft was slowly entering the atmosphere of Mars. In the next second, the entire body fell rapidly towards the bottom.

The landing protection device on the top of the spacecraft is automatically activated to reduce the impact force to the greatest extent.

At this time, the spacecraft was under unimaginable pressure, and the screen in the AIM control center suddenly disappeared within a second, turning into a messy electromagnetic wave map.

At this moment, everyone's hearts seemed to be grabbed by a pair of invisible hands.

Fang Liang, who was located in the origin base, suddenly flashed a scarlet pop-up warning on his mask.

[It is detected that an unknown thing is making an emergency landing, do you want to intercept it? ! 】

This passage almost caused Fang Liang to spit out the water he just drank.

He stood up suddenly, and Zero had already made a temporary coping strategy in an instant.

The pupils of more than twenty ordnance robots with heavy armor suddenly lit up, their chests were folded and sunken, and a huge spiral muzzle stretched out silkily, pointing directly at the sky.

Prismatic laser turrets protruded from the inside of the steel wall. They rose slowly and automatically rotated to focus.

All the muzzles were aimed at a certain position in the sky at this time.

As long as Fang Liang gives an order, this thing that dared to enter Mars rashly will be turned into countless fragments within the first second of leaving the atmosphere.

Since the satellite to monitor the orbit of Mars has not yet been put into production, Fang Liang could not obtain the specific information of this thing in the first place.

This tiny omission made Fang Liang feel a little flustered.

Fortunately, Fang Liang called the latest data transmitted by several automatic cruise vehicles wandering in the orbit of Mars.

Finally, I saw the true face of this guy who entered the Martian atmosphere.

It is an elliptical spaceship with small specifications and a very smooth structural design.

Zooming in, zooming in again, Fang Liang suddenly saw something very familiar.

"Zero, it is allowed to land on the surface, and the protective posture is temporarily lifted."

Fang Liang showed a meaningful smile, and thought for a while: "Send the Bleeding Maw team and some industrial robots to the landing site, and control the spacecraft lander as soon as it reaches the ground."

"clear."

The heavy ordnance droids have reclaimed their corkscrews, and the walls of steel have been restored.

It's just that several bloodmaw armors that are being overhauled in the Mechanical Research Center come out of the cabins on the side of the building one by one, and quickly move towards a certain direction not far away.

Is it finally here?

Fang Liang walked out of the origin base, looked up at a certain position in the sky.

"Estimated landing time: 3 more minutes."

"I see."

The sound of Zero happened to be heard in his ear, Fang Liang nodded, and also flew in the same direction that the Bloodmaw team was heading.

That is the estimated location where the lander is about to land. It is an undeveloped plain area with a gentle terrain. It should be one of the few safer landing locations on Mars.

This is a manned spacecraft from China.

Fang Liang also learned about this decision at the AIM headquarters from Huaguo.

It's called the Fire Picking Project, which is a name that fits the actual situation.

It's just that there are too many data and data to check every day. When Fang Liang learned that something had entered the atmosphere, he didn't guess for a while that it would be a spacecraft lander from Huaguo.

Fang Liang was also interested in this Mars landing plan, which was regarded as a top secret by Huaguo's high-level officials.

While flying, Fang Liang asked Ling to call up the specific information of the fire picking plan through the upgraded network.

It has to be said that it was hard for Fang Liang to imagine that the Hua Congress would make such a risky plan.

In the future, they will vigorously develop the aerospace industry and send more relevant personnel to Mars.

Even Fang Liang knew that with Blue Star's current level of technology, flying a manned rocket to Mars is a matter of no return.

Landing on fire is not like landing on the moon. The difficulty gap between these two things cannot be compared.

This is already a rush forward.

When he discovered that Mars had an alien civilization, Fang Liang believed that most countries on the blue planet already had their own ideas in their hearts.

Think about it differently. If Fang Liang is a member of Blue Star, the first thing to consider must be whether this alien civilization can invade Blue Star in the future?

This is a very intuitive and cruel question.

Fang Liang overlooked the blue star from the perspective of God. Except for some countries, almost every country with space exploration capabilities is secretly making various plans.

It's just that they never thought that these top-secret plans that they thought were strictly guarded had already been seen to the bottom by Fang Liang.

It is a very interesting phenomenon that human nature is in various states before disasters strike.

It's just that Fang Liang has been trying to show a peaceful and friendly side.

Whether it is allowing the orbital probes of various countries to continue to operate, or Xiaohua who can shuttle back and forth in the base.

For several months, Fang Liang thought that they should be able to feel this from these details.

This may also be Hua Guo's gamble on sending a manned rocket to Mars.

From Fang Liang's point of view, this is a very irrational approach.

But from the perspective of Huaguo and even Blue Star, this may be the decision with the highest error tolerance rate.

After all, no one knows when the alien civilization will come to Blue Star.

Instead of waiting anxiously in place, it is better to take the initiative.

"The spacecraft lander has appeared and reached the visible distance."

At this moment, Zero has detected the spacecraft that fell from the sky.

Fang Liang was flying above a distant mountain peak, when he suddenly saw a black figure appear from a certain position in the sky and land straight towards the ground.

Far away in Blue Star's AIM control room, until the picture on the screen reappeared, the entire control room was suddenly flooded with raging cheers.

The researchers embraced, and Yu Han also stood up, clapping excitedly, his eyes slightly red.

Suddenly a pair of big hands rested on his shoulders.

Yu Han's body trembled, and he quickly wiped his eyes with his arm calmly, and turned his head.

It's Harlem.

"Old Yu, we really succeeded."

"yes."

Yu Han saw the visitor clearly, showed a gratified smile, and sighed with emotion.

"We are carrying all the human beings on our shoulders now."

Harlem smiled: "How do you feel?"

"It feels really good, this should be the most exciting moment of my life."

Yu Han watched the picture on the screen suddenly stop moving, and the Mars land that was so close seemed within reach.

Pickup Fire has landed safely.

"Report to the headquarters, all equipment is normal, we have successfully landed, and we are proceeding with the next step of planning."

The communication from the astronauts from Shihuo made everyone's beating hearts completely calm down.

But after that, everyone at AIM knew that the real "picking up the fire" had only just begun.

Foot-shaped brackets appeared at the bottom of the Pickup Fire, supporting the tilted spacecraft body.

There are two astronauts in the spaceship, one is Chen Ze and the other is Lin Changsu.

After countless simulation tests, they have excellent physical and psychological qualities. They sit quietly in the spaceship, and when they report to the AIM headquarters, they also adjust their physical conditions.

After feeling good, they started to get up and check the various equipment in the spaceship. After making sure that everything was in good condition, they began to observe the surrounding situation.

"That alien civilization hasn't appeared yet?"

Lin Lu stared at the screen and said puzzledly.

The Pickup Fire spacecraft is equipped with many external cameras. At this time, they are protruding from the surface of the spacecraft, displaying the picture information inside the spacecraft, and transmitting it back to the AIM headquarters.

"I don't know, is the position of the lander adjusted?"

Yu Han shook his head and asked the researchers at the console.

"It has been adjusted, it is already located between the landing plain and the alien base, and it can always detect the information in the base."

"it is good."

Yu Han nodded, exhaled nervously, and refocused his gaze on the screen.

Since the alien base built a tall mechanical wall, Yu Han was initially afraid that the operation of the lander would be restricted.

But his worries were obviously unnecessary.

There are many large mechanical corridors on the giant wall, and all robots must pass through these corridors.

To Yu Han's surprise, AIM's lander can also enter and exit these mechanical corridors at will.

After the transformation, the body of the lander seems to have also been implanted with some information from this alien base. These data should be the "key" for the lander to pass through the mechanical gate.

But this is just Yu Han's guess, which should also prove from the side that the owner of this alien base does not seem to be a warlike civilization.

This also gave Yu Han and AIM an inexplicable confidence.

This alien civilization seems to be a very friendly interstellar civilization, and they came to Mars just to establish new resource development points.

Human beings are very imaginative creatures, and this ability to imagine is usually based on what they see and hear.

It's just that sometimes, this ability will have unimaginable consequences.

"Spaceship lander found, circling around."

At this time, nearly 10 minutes after the fire-picking spacecraft landed, the Bloodmaw team, which was quietly waiting at the top of the mountain, finally received a new order.

A series of red slender figures rushed down from the mountain in an instant, their vigorous posture flashed past, and instantly surrounded the Shihuo spaceship on the plain in a semi-enclosed form.

They were extremely fast, and their paws rubbed deep marks on the sand and stones, until they were about 200 meters away from the spacecraft, and their figures were successfully captured by the camera.

"what is that?"

Chen Ze's eyes subconsciously focused, and the red figure in the picture was filled with an inexplicable sense of oppression, like a herd of beasts surrounding their prey.

"It's that alien civilization, they are here!"

Lin Changsu walked through the spaceship, and quickly took out two white protective suits and two sets of oxygen supply equipment from the storage space on the side.

He handed the equipment to Chen Ze, and the two helped each other to put on the protective clothing and buckle the mask as quickly as possible.

"I never thought that one day I would be able to face aliens face to face."

Chen Ze plugged in the oxygen tube, exchanged a glance with Lin Changsu, and suddenly laughed.

"What's the matter? You won't be afraid, right? Didn't we all agree at the beginning that when we were captured by aliens together, you had to be in front of me."

At this time, Lin Changsu remained calm and even made a joke of Chen Ze.

"Ha ha!"

From a certain point of view, the two of them had already prepared for the worst.

From the moment they set foot on the spacecraft, they already knew their mission well.

"I just hope we didn't come here to be cannon fodder!"

The hideous appearance of Xuemao has been fully displayed on the screen, Chen Ze's heart trembled, but he still smiled and fastened his belt fiercely.

"This is way more exciting than a movie, bro!"

As the last byte fell, Lin Changsu opened the hatch of the spaceship, the sunlight from Mars came in and the dust filled up, psychedelic like a dream
