Chapter 153: The Moment of Human Glory!

After a long 71-day journey, Hawke Island’s Yinghuo-3.5 manned spacecraft finally entered Mars’ low-Earth orbit. After undergoing a major deceleration in the early stage, it lost two-thirds of its mass and approached the first cosmic speed of Mars. [-]km/s, flying around Mars.

During their orbit around Mars, for the first time, with human eyes,
I saw the second highest peak in the solar system, Mount Olympia at 21171 meters,
Seeing the smoky sea, the largest ocean on Mars,
Seeing the utopian plain with a large number of rivers, lakes and oceans, it feels like a province of thousands of lakes,

I saw the Grand Canyon of the Sailors, which has been gradually filled with stagnant water,

Seeing a large number of black vegetation stretching for hundreds of miles,
I saw migrating Martian fauna, at least tens of thousands of them...

They also saw Deimos, a super big brick...

It's extremely weird, it doesn't look like a natural satellite at all, it's more like a man-made object...

Although as astronauts, they know that because the mass is not enough to turn themselves into a sphere, there are many small stars with various strange shapes in the universe. This shape is actually not particularly unusual.

Due to the similar orbits of the two, "Deimos" passed by it several times, and they could clearly see that it was slowly rotating on its long axis.

Of course, it is said that it passed by, but it is actually more than 100 kilometers away. With the quality of Phobos, it will basically not affect the operation of Yinghuo-[-].

Amidst the shock and excitement, the seven astronauts identified the planned Mars landing site in the air through instruments.

"All ready! Landing! Landing!"

When the spacecraft flew over the Aldasia Plain, the captain Wang Donghong gave an order, and the spacecraft ignited again to adjust its orbit.

Wang Donghong is a veteran astronaut of Hawke Island. He is only 28 years old this year, but he has a lot of experience. He participated in the first manned moon landing on Hawke Island. However, he did not land on the moon at that time, but stayed alone Inside the command module in lunar orbit.

Later, he landed on the moon many times, and has a cumulative record of staying on the moon for more than a year.

The spacecraft continued to descend, and Wang Donghong turned on the manual driving mode, opened the parachute, and at the same time used the propeller to decelerate in reverse to resist the acceleration of Mars' gravity.

The gravity of Mars is more than twice that of the moon, but Mars now has a dense atmosphere that can be decelerated by means of a parachute.

Finally, on the coast of Mars Abyss Sea, he found a place suitable for landing, drove Yinghuo-[-], and landed on Mars steadily!

精确的登陆时间是霍克岛时间2031年7月8日9时22分27秒！
There was no sound in the Lanxing Hawke Island command center, and everyone was waiting quietly.

Since Mars is too far away from the blue star, even electromagnetic waves will take 4-20 minutes to reach.
So it wasn't until 5 minutes later that they heard Wang Donghong's radio sound waves:

"Hawker Island and the launch center of the Blue Moon, here is the Mars Abyss, east longitude: 112°23′17″, north latitude: 31°54′27″, Yinghuo-[-] landed successfully!
Hawke Island and the Blue Moon launch center, here is Mars Abyss, East Longitude: 112°23′17″, North Latitude: 31°54′27″, Yinghuo-[-] successfully landed! "

A total of thousands of staff members in Hawke Island Command Center erupted into cheers!
"It worked! It worked! We made history!"

Countless people celebrated wildly, and many even cried with joy...

People outside said that Hawke Island has a scientific research team, as if researching everything is easy.

Only they themselves know how much effort they have put in in the past few years to get ahead.

In fact, most of Hawke Island's scientific research achievements are made by them with all their efforts. Genius is certainly important, but such a huge scientific research project cannot be achieved by a few flashes of genius!

As excited as they are, there are 48 billion viewers around the world...

At this time, almost all those who have the conditions to observe the manned landing on Mars are watching the live broadcast.

Although the electromagnetic waves run "too slow" and the signal is delayed, what they see is actually what happened 5 minutes ago...

Under the watchful eyes of 48 billion viewers, Wang Donghong, who was wearing the most advanced spacesuit five minutes ago, was the first to open the hatch of the spacecraft, pass the gangway, and set foot on the surface of Mars.

Astronaut Wang Donghong from Hawke Island left the first footprint of a blue star human on the surface of Mars!
Humanity has taken another big step!

"Great Humans! Great Moments!"

"Awesome (broken sound)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"It feels like I'm dreaming. I didn't expect to see this scene in my lifetime!"

"The people of Dongguo sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of Moxi sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of Lucia sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of the Emirates sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of the whole country sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of Zha sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of the United States sent a congratulatory message!"

"I'm so envious! Alas, our American astronauts probably died in space..."

"The people of Fusang sent a congratulatory message!"

……

For a while, netizens from various countries, no matter what grievances or grievances they had before, expressed their congratulations to Hawke Island in various languages ​​at this moment.

This is not just a moment of glory for Hawke Island, but a moment of glory for all of humanity!

In the atmosphere of global celebrations, something suddenly appeared on the screen!
A calf-sized animal suddenly broke into the camera!

This is an animal with a black carapace all over its body and a pair of oversized eyes, which looks very unfriendly!

The most peculiar thing is that it does not have the limbs like a donkey, and there are three wheels under the body!

There are also a pair of webs that resemble the forelimbs of a seal, and a large tail.

"Wheel beast! It's the legendary wheel beast!"

"But this kind of wheel beast seems to have never been discovered before!"

"This guy looks a bit like a donkey! Why don't you just call him a donkey with wheels!"

"Haha, dear fellow astronauts, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

……

The "donkey on wheels" didn't attack the astronauts, but just stared at the astronauts with its curious big eyes.

From time to time, "咩~~~~~咩~~~~~~~~~" cry.

It seems to be asking: "Dude, where did you come from, you are a bit unfamiliar..."

Now Mars has a dense atmosphere, and sound can be transmitted.

As a professional astronaut, Wang Donghong did not interact with it hastily, but stepped back to keep a distance from it.

However, "Wheel Donkey" seems to want to see clearly, and has been following him...

Every time he retreats, the "wheel donkey" will use the seal's forelimbs and tail to push the ground, just like stepping on a pedal to drive the wheel and move forward a little...

Always keep a distance of less than 3 meters.

The ground is not particularly smooth, but it moves lightly.

This is probably because the gravity of Mars is relatively small, so the friction force on the wheels is very small.

Its wheels, somewhat like off-road vehicle tires, prevent skidding.

The powerful tail like a kangaroo, as well as the pair of wings, can not only push the ground to accelerate, but also brake in an emergency.

According to the simulation test of the Hawk Island Academy of Sciences, this wheeled animal can travel at a speed of 140 yards on the ice, which is faster than the fastest cheetah on the Blue Star, and lasts longer, basically similar to a car .

So they speculated that the ancestors of this creature may have lived on the ice of ancient Mars for a long time before evolving this form...

Wang Donghong was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to retreat any more, so she could only stand still.

He still holds the Big Dipper flag of Hawke Island in his hand. Originally, he planned to plant the flag of Hawke Island on Mars...

The "wheel donkey" also stopped in place, motionless, and stared at Wang Donghong.

Without blinking an eyelid.

No, it has no eyelids at all. The eyes of Martian creatures seem to have no eyelids.

This scene is a bit weird and extremely funny...

No one expected that the first time humans landed on Mars, they would encounter such a scene.

One person and one beast, just like that, the stalemate lasted for nearly an hour.

The 48 billion viewers around the world also watched it for an hour.

No, at first it was 48 billion, then it went up to 59 billion...

At first, the audience was confused and a little panicked, because the "wheeled donkey" seemed to weigh more than 200 kilograms. If it attacked the astronauts, it might bring trouble to the astronauts who are not very convenient to move in spacesuits. deadly injury...

No one wants to see that the No.1 astronaut on Mars will be killed by animals on Mars...

But it was later discovered that this "donkey on wheels" seemed a bit silly and did not pose any threat to astronauts.

So the atmosphere gradually became cheerful.

"Another famous scene was born, I swear, this video will be the hottest video in the world this year..."

"Haha, I laughed so hard! This donkey is so funny!"

"I think this donkey looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere..."

"The eyes of wisdom!"

……

In the end, it was another astronaut who used a special laser pointer to scare the wheel beast away.

The Martian donkey ran away in its tricycle...

The speed is about 30 yards or so.

In fact, they carry a lot of weapons to deal with Martian animals, but they cannot be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

They were asked to avoid contact with large Martian animals as much as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary harm or cause virus infection.

After all, in the age of great voyages, the virus brought by the old continent brought catastrophe to the aborigines.

So in this regard, the Hawke Island Space Agency has clear regulations to ensure that the virus will not threaten the safety of any party before the safety is confirmed...

Although it carried a large amount of fuel and consumed most of its mass during deceleration and landing, after the Yinghuo-90 spacecraft finally landed, it still weighed a full 30 tons, with a diameter of 7 meters and a height of [-] meters, equivalent to As big as a small villa.

If the solar wings are deployed, the diameter can reach 60 meters...

It is not just a spaceship, but also the initial base of 7 astronauts on Mars.

Due to the window period of Mars, they have to be here at least for at least 26 months or so...

Of course, there will be many cargo spacecraft in the future to provide them with new experimental equipment and supplies.

A closed super Mars ecosystem is also under construction, but the most optimistic estimate is that it will take a year before it can be officially used.

It has to be said that this manned landing on Mars is still relatively dangerous.

But they are not afraid at all. After all, they are the elites carefully selected from tens of millions of volunteers, representing Hawke Island and human beings. Compared with the supreme glory, they don't care about this danger at all.

The most important thing in a person's life is to leave a mark on the world. To be the first human beings to land on Mars and realize the dream of human beings for hundreds of years. What could be more proud than this?

……

After a small episode, Wang Donghong successfully inserted the Big Dipper flag of Hawke Island into the Martian soil.

Within a few 10 minutes, the weather that was originally cleared for thousands of miles suddenly became cloudy and began to rain lightly...

The cold wind from Mars Abyss blew loudly, and the Big Dipper flag was rattling.

Wang Donghong and others could also feel the harsh sea breeze on Mars through their space suits.

Due to the extremely high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mars, the rain on Mars contains a large amount of dissolved carbon dioxide, that is, carbonic acid. The rainwater is relatively acidic, but carbonic acid is a weak acid, and the pH value will not be lower than 5.6, so it is not considered acid rain. It is also not life-threatening.

The ultra-high concentration of carbon dioxide also leads to more frequent rainfall on Mars. It is said that the Carnian flood event in the Blue Star was also due to the release of a large amount of carbon dioxide from the volcanic eruption, resulting in 200 million years of rain...

However, Mars has much less water than Blue Star. The current ocean area does not exceed 30%, which is not enough to form such a large-scale precipitation. The high concentration of carbon dioxide accelerates the water cycle, which is a good thing for life on Mars...

The first mission of Wang Donghong and other astronauts was to collect Martian biological samples and carry out experiments and research in the experimental cabin of the spacecraft. In fact, three of their team were young academicians of the Hawke Island Academy of Sciences.

The other four people, including Wang Donghong, are also high-achieving students.

They are all-round talents who have mastered various skills, including but not limited to medical treatment, planting, breeding, fitness nutrition, hairdressing, cooking, mechanical repair, electrician and many other skills...

Otherwise, how could it stand out from the tens of millions of volunteers...

Research on Martian organisms is their current key task. Many sciences in human history have been researched based on the characteristics of blue star organisms. Many unique characteristics of life on Mars may be able to bring relevant technologies to mankind. Come to a new breakthrough point.

For example, the most famous dehydration resurrection attribute of life on Mars may be the key to unlocking "hibernation" technology and longevity technology for human beings.

Whoever can take the first step will gain a huge advantage.

In fact, they are not the only ones doing research. During this Martian window period, the unmanned Mars lander launched by Hawke Island has already quietly returned to Blue Star carrying a large number of samples of Martian seawater, minerals, and Martian biological samples.

It will bring these samples back to the Hawk Island space station and moon base, where they will be studied by more Hawk Island scientists.

But they also have an advantage on Mars, that is, they can study living things, especially large living things.

Like spirits.

This is also one of the main goals of their trip.

……

The successful landing of human beings on Mars makes people all over the world very happy.

But Chu Xiaoyao was not very happy.

She was very happy at first, until one day when she was live broadcasting, a fan posted a picture of an emoji.

On the left is her staring emoticon during a previous live broadcast, and on the right is the expression of the "Martian donkey" staring at astronaut Wang Donghong...

I can't say that the eyes are very similar, I can only say that they are exactly the same...

The fans thoughtfully added the words: Different species, same intelligent eyes...

She was dying of anger.

What makes her most angry is not that others laugh at her, but that she herself feels very similar...

This emoticon package was even uploaded to the Internet, and netizens all over the world saw it...
