Chapter 274 Manned Landing on Mars (2)

Chang'e 1 space shuttle.

Switched to auto cruise mode.

Practice has proved that the reliability of automatic cruise mode is even higher than that of manual operation.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the blue planet behind them had gradually moved away from them.

In this way, with yearning for the new continent and longing for a better future, the Chang'e-1 space shuttle, which left the synchronous orbit, sailed into a dark deep space and flew towards the fiery red planet.

As the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle successfully left the Earth-Moon system, it carried ten astronauts and scientific researchers to Mars, hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

The whole of China and the whole world are boiling.

This is the first time that humans have left the Earth-Moon system.

It is also the pioneer of the first scientific expedition sent by human beings to a planet other than the earth.

In an interview with the media, CNSA stated that CNSA will build a lunar orbiting space station next year, and is now soliciting names for the lunar orbiting space station from the whole society.

Not only that, CNSA also stated that the first batch of international astronauts at the Tiangong Space Station will go to the "Tiangong Space Station" on a space shuttle after the Spring Festival next year.

There is no doubt that this is declaring to the world the status and influence of CNSA in the world aerospace field.

If you can do what your opponent can't, and you can do what they can, it's undoubtedly the best proof of victory.

At this moment, CNSA seems to be the light of mankind!
After all, the Tiangong space station is the only space station in orbit in the world today, and its scale has surpassed the International Space Station, which has been built for 20 years, and has become the largest space station in human history.

Guanghan Palace Scientific Research Station, which is the first scientific research station established on the moon on earth, is of incomparable significance for the study, exploration and development of the moon.

Well now, even the lunar orbital space station has to be established.

Once the lunar orbital space station is built, it will have an absolute advantage in the exploration of the moon. To put it bluntly, this has left all space agencies far behind.

In today's environment, it seems that some good-sounding news is born every day, and it seems that new technologies are born every day.

This can't help but create an illusion of being in the future.

In fact, this is not entirely an illusion.

The aerospace field is booming, a large amount of funds has flowed into the research field, major universities have opened related majors in outer space exploration and resource development, and related research topics have entered the green light lane for rapid approval. These changes are all visible.

The dividends brought about by technological progress in the aerospace field, along with other technical fields other than aerospace, are also growing at an unimaginable speed.

The most obvious one is probably the medical industry!

A variety of advanced technologies have been applied to the field of medical equipment, and various advanced medical equipment have been developed, making many diseases that were previously terminally ill no longer incurable.

The technical content of diapers has been greatly improved, by a large margin.

Some things that are difficult to manufacture on the earth can be manufactured in the super weightless state in space and the low gravity state of the moon.

Some so-called black technologies were born one after another.

Previously, in space, contacting Earth was costly.

But now, astronauts are free to video chat with their families.

Quantum communication satellites enable any corner of the world, even if there is no base station, to be connected to the Internet through satellites.

And the speed of satellite networking is quite fast.

Only the business of satellite networking is enough for mobile and telecommunications to conquer cities and territories in the field of communication all over the world.

In European and American countries, it is not easy to access the Internet everywhere. In many rural areas, it is actually not convenient to access the Internet.

Not to mention the mountains.

Now, even in the Arctic, even in the Antarctic, even in the Amazon forest, satellite networking can be easily carried out.

Cai Jin watched the live broadcast of the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle launch and felt that the distance between planets was too far.

Even if it is the Chang'e space shuttle, it has to be calculated in months!

If Mars is far away from the Earth, it will even take three months!

It takes half a year to go back and forth!

Originally, Cai Jin felt that the Chang'e space shuttle was already very advanced and sufficient.

But now, he feels that this performance is simply not enough in the face of the vast and infinite universe.

To be honest, Cai Jin also has a dream of stars and seas in his heart.

He hopes that one day, he can look around the solar system, and even go outside the solar system to see if there are living planets.

Cai Jin doesn't know whether there are living planets in the entire universe. It is estimated that no one in the whole world can give a definite answer.

Cai Jin thinks that there is a high probability!
According to research by astronomers, the diameter of the Milky Way alone is between 10 and 18 light-years. Stars like the sun have 1000 to 4000 billion stars and a large number of star clusters, nebulae, and various types of interstellar matter. gas and interstellar dust.

With such a large Milky Way, it makes no sense that the Earth in the solar system is a living planet, and there are no living planets in other galaxies.

As for the entire universe, there are almost 2000 billion galaxies.

In the entire universe, how could there be only one living planet, the earth.

Even if there is only one living planet like the earth in a galaxy, there are 2000 billion living planets in the entire universe.

And it is impossible for these living planets to lag behind the earth, right?
For this CNSA trip to Mars, Cai Jin is very happy to see the success.

He hopes that this is a solid step for China to step into the sea of ​​stars.

But he also realized that it would take a full seven years for an aircraft of the level of the Chang'e space shuttle to fly out of the solar system.

Even if it reaches the edge of the solar system and returns, it will take a full 14 years!
How many 14 years can there be in life!
It's okay to do unmanned flight tests, but it's simply impossible to actually put it into practical action.

But to make the Chang'e space shuttle fly faster and farther, there are two problems that cannot be avoided.

One is a stronger engine and stronger energy. Nuclear batteries are simply not enough to support it. What is needed is controllable nuclear fusion!

Without mastering the technology of controllable nuclear fusion, human beings can't talk about going out of the solar system at all, and can only circle around the solar system.

One is the need for stronger materials.

The faster the speed, the greater the power of the collision with the micro-celestial body, which requires stronger materials, making it difficult for the collision to threaten the aircraft, or in other words, a kind of energy defense is required.

Cai Jin submitted several kinds of robots to CNSA and completed the scientific research tasks of CNSA.

As for CNSA's order, Cai Jin didn't care at all.

Because that little order contract is really not enough for Cai Jin to grit his teeth.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

At this time, the whole world is watching the live broadcast, and the number of viewers of the live broadcast this time is much higher than when it was launched.

Because, the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle finally arrived at Mars.

This month, the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle has always been the focus of people's attention.

Any entertainment gossip star is far less popular than the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle.

Chang'e-[-] space shuttle has new projects every day, such as space lectures, space walks, etc.

When we were on the earth, human beings were actually two-dimensional life. Only when we enter space, human beings evolve from two-dimensional life to three-dimensional life.

The more you understand the universe, the more you will feel your insignificance, and the more you will be in awe of the universe.

During this month, mankind has gained a deeper understanding of the universe and starry sky in history.

Once upon a time, interstellar voyage and interstellar colonization seemed out of reach, as if they only existed in science fiction works.

But now, the sound of footsteps was clearly visible.

At this time, in the deep space 1.187 million kilometers away from the earth, a silver-white space shuttle is slowly advancing.

Although it looks like a snail crawling slowly against the background of the distant sun and the fiery red planet that is close at hand, in fact its speed at this moment has reached nearly four kilometers per second.

If it was before, its speed was much faster than this. After deceleration, it reached this speed and was captured by the Martian gravitational system!

The first cosmic speed of the earth is 7.9 km/s, and the volume, mass, and radius of Mars are much smaller than that of the earth, so the first cosmic speed is naturally not as good as the first cosmic speed of the earth.

The first cosmic speed of Mars is 3.72 km/s!
Floating in the cabin, staring at the fiery red planet outside the porthole for a long time, everyone smiled in victory.

This is the first time humans on Earth have entered the orbit of Mars.

"We have finally reached Mars!" Liu Yang smiled triumphantly.

As the first female astronaut among Chinese astronauts to go into space, the first astronaut to land on the moon, and now the first commander to execute a manned landing on Mars, her name is destined to be included in the history of China's spaceflight, and it must be It will be recorded in the history of spaceflight in the world.

Even if she retires after returning to Earth, she can have no regrets.

Later, through the robot, Liu Yang and others took photos of the fiery red planet, and then took a group photo with the fiery red planet as the background.

This will be an extremely precious commemorative photo in their lifetime.

"Beijing, Beijing, this is the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle, we have reached the orbit of Mars!" Liu Yang contacted the earth.

Even with quantum communication, there is still a significant information delay.

"Jingcheng received it! Jingcheng received it!"

This conversation immediately spread throughout the entire world, and cheers could not be restrained from every corner of the world.

This is the end point of the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle's journey.

It will also be a new starting point for human civilization to march towards the starry sky!
This is not only a victory for China's space industry, but also a victory for the world's space industry.

After getting in touch with the earth command center, Liu Yang began to implement the original plan.

After the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle arrives in the orbit of Mars this time, it will not land on Mars immediately, but will first change the orbit of Mars.

After all, before, there was no one there.

But now there are people.

For an hour, various experiments were carried out in Mars orbit.

"The current orbital altitude is 316.7 kilometers, and we will reach the target airspace in 5 minutes! We will land on Mars!" Liu Yang looked very calm.

Subsequently, the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle began to fly toward the Martian atmosphere.

I saw the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle falling towards the thin atmosphere of Mars, and finally turned into a point and disappeared at the edge of the Martian atmosphere
Everyone knows that the atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than that of Earth!

The Chang'e-[-] space shuttle flew like a parabola, with its speed and altitude constantly decreasing.

Finally, the Chang'e-[-] space shuttle landed slowly on a natural flat rock.

Here is the chosen place to land on Mars!
This area is an excellent place to land on Mars. The altitude is low, like a large plain.

Here, according to scientists, it is very likely that an ancient lake-delta system used to be here.

This system, may have captured and preserved information about the Red Planet's evolution -- evidence for ancient life, if it ever existed.

And if there is water on Mars, then it is most likely to exist in this plain.

If evidence of the existence of water can be found here, then it is possible to discover that there is life on Mars, or there was life in the past.

For a long time, human beings on Earth have never stopped discussing the possible existence of life on Mars.

The reason why life is believed to exist on Mars is not only because Mars is in the solar system and is relatively close in distance, but also because Mars is in the same habitable zone as the earth.

Some scientists even believe that it would be a miracle if there was no life on Mars.

Due to the positions of the Earth and Mars in the solar system, the Earth and Mars have actually shared matter in the universe for billions of years.

It doesn't make sense that Earth gave birth to life, but Mars never gave birth to life.

At this time, people all over the world saw the scene of the land of Mars.

Thousands of miles away!

What caught the eye was a fiery red earth!

The scene of the earth seen at this time is not much different from everyone's perception of it.

The Martian land outside the cabin is vast, without any signs of life, but it gives people a sense of desolation from the soul!

Mysterious, desolate.
Whether it's the people in the cabin, or the audience watching the live broadcast, watching the scene of Mars, there is a strong sense of shock!
At this time, the people in the cabin began to line up one by one according to the original order, preparing to leave the cabin.

The family members of the crew were extremely excited watching the live broadcast!
Go down in history!

Leave a name through the ages!

This is something that many people desire!

And now it's about to be done by your own loved ones.

As Liu Yang went down the gangway and landed on Mars, the first record of earth humans landing on Mars was born.

Its significance even exceeds that of the first astronaut to land on the moon.

After all, the difficulty of manned landing on Mars is not the same as manned landing on the moon.

The distance between the two is hundreds of times different!
Naturally, this scene is enough to be recorded in the history of the world, and it has become a deed that people have had to learn since they were young, and it will continue to appear in their respective film and television works.
