Chapter 275 The first step to Mars

And in Liu Xiu's opinion, it's a bit unreliable that the space elevator in Wandering Blue Star II still uses rockets for thrust.

Since it is a space elevator, wouldn't it be better if it is just like a real elevator?

However, Liu Xiu has no plans to engage in any space elevator project this time. After all, even if Mars has a small gravity, its synchronous orbit is less than half that of Blue Star, and the height of its synchronous orbit is only 17,000 kilometers. But even if it is like this The height cannot be built using ordinary steel materials.

Therefore, the matter of synchronized orbits was only thought about in Liu Xiu's mind and had not been taken out yet!
As for the landing point on the equator of Mars, Liu Xiu had actually already determined the location through exploration of enemy and friend maps.

And this location is naturally a rich mining area.

In addition to iron ore, it also has aluminum ore and other rare metal deposits.

I have to say that the item penetration ability of Liu Xiu's Friend and Enemy map is really useful. It can easily penetrate the entire planet and find various minerals buried underground.

If Liu Xiu had this ability before time travel, he would have opened an ore exploration company and become a billionaire.

Then enjoy life, yachts, private jets, and model parties at sea.

After all, if Liu Xiu really did this now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, because it requires a large amount of living materials, the price is about ten times more than the dormant row.

Of course, Liu Xiu and his group of nineteen people drove away five of the six Mars landing and return capsules on the space station.

"Okay! We have successfully parked the space station in the predetermined orbit. The next thing we have to do is to land on the surface of Mars and then establish a Mars base! When we completely take root on Mars, we will have a place that belongs to us. Planet! So we are both astronauts, but we are also pioneers in expanding our territory.”

Sure enough, what Liu Xiu said made the twenty astronauts including Wu Qianli extremely excited. After all, the soldier didn't want to expand the territory for his crops and lay down a large territory!
Perhaps if there had not been such a thing as Wandering Blue Star, in a few decades to the era when Liu Xiu traveled through time, there might have been many three-year tours to Mars among the tourist spots after the people retired!

The landing and return capsules are designed to be very large, each weighing one hundred tons. Of course, if calculated by the gravity of Mars, the weight of one hundred tons is only equal to about 38 tons of Mars. After all, the gravity of Mars is only the Blue Star. Thirty-eight percent.

But when Liu Xiu reached this position, he couldn't help himself. In order to maintain his personality, he had no chance of any luxurious enjoyment.

Liu Xiu also followed everyone to the surface of Mars. As for the space station, only Wu Qianli and another astronaut were left to guard it.

It's just a pity that Liu Xiu traveled to the Anti-Japanese War period and accidentally ended up in his current position.

But today's Liu Xiu is not comparable to those billionaires. After all, sometimes what you gain naturally means you have to lose something!
…………

And by then, there will be a dormant trip and an awake trip. The dormant trip is to reach Mars in a hibernating state throughout the entire journey. Because it does not require additional living materials, the price is cheap, while the awake trip is to experience the boring feeling of interstellar travel throughout the journey. He spent more than 200 days awake on the spacecraft before reaching Mars.

The five landing pods carrying about 300 tons of cargo landed safely at the predetermined location.

Seeing such a result, Liu Xiu was very satisfied with the quality of the landing module. After all, he personally participated in the design, and after manufacturing it, Liu Xiu personally inspected it inside and out using maps of enemies and friends.

"Haha, I finally took the first step on Mars! Come on, come on! Take a photo of me and tell the humans on Blue Star that although this is just a small step for me, it is a giant step for humans on Blue Star. ! Let me see, our Mars landing plan is definitely not an empty shell!" The astronaut who said this is called Liu Baiqiang. He is not very old. He is only 28 years old and looks seven years older than Wu Qianli. Eighty percent similar, he is the only astronaut under the age of thirty among the twenty astronauts who came to Mars this time.

You know, Liu Xiu's selection of these twenty astronauts was of high standards. The reason why Liu Baiqiang was selected was not only because of Liu Xiu's adopted son, but also because of Liu Baiqiang's own excellence. A doctorate degree is no joke, and he has reached the level of Anjin at the age of twenty. Otherwise, he would not be able to hibernate the Turtle Breathing Skill, and he would not be able to become a member of the Mars landing plan.

The main reason why Liu Beiqiang was Liu Xiu's adopted son was that when Wu Qianli was in Duduo in the 1960s, Wu Qianli complained that he couldn't support his own children, so Liu Xiu had to pay for Wu Qianli to raise a son. One girl and two children.

And this boy is now Liu Beiqiang. The reason why he is called Beiqiang is because Wu Qianli felt that he defeated Du Ruo and foiled the conspiracy of Mi Ruo and Shu Ruo, so he was called Bei Qiang. The reason why his surname is not Liu Wu, this is naturally because Wu Qianli feels that since Liu Xiu has already paid.

It was unjustifiable not to change his surname, so he changed Wu Beiqiang to Liu Beiqiang.

Liu Xiu felt that what Liu Beiqiang said was very reasonable, so he said:

"Then take a photo of this and send it back."

After all, Liu Xiu is very willing to do things that can increase his own reputation and undermine his opponent's reputation.

The reason why Liu Xiu was able to talk to Liu Baiqiang and others on the surface of Mars was naturally because the space suit was equipped with the ability to communicate wirelessly, just like a walkie-talkie.

Sure enough, after Liu Xiu's side sent back the successful landing and the footprints left on the Martian ground, Mi Zuo on the Blue Star side gave up.

But fortunately, the Internet has just begun to develop and is not as popular as it was a few decades ago.

If it were popularized, there would probably be more people talking about it.

Of course, with the publicity of the news, the people here are naturally full of pride and their self-confidence has increased significantly, indicating that Mi'ao's moon landing is not a big deal. After all, compared with the moon landing, landing on Mars is only as difficult as Much more.

After the launch, it’s time to get busy with construction. The first thing to build is naturally the living hut at the base. If you don’t build this, you will have to sleep in the landing cabin at night.

In order to maximize the loading of cargo, the base living cabin installed in the landing module is actually still in the state of plate parts.

They must be spliced ​​to complete the assembly, so these require a lot of manpower, otherwise Liu Xiu would not have only two left on the space station.

That's right, Liu Xiu and the others came to Mars to work as construction workers.

It's just that the requirements for the houses to be built are relatively high and the technical difficulty is relatively high. The rest is actually no different from the prefabricated houses built on Blue Star.

The reason why construction is difficult is that the board houses on Mars must be completely sealed, and they must wear bulky and inconvenient space suits to work.

Of course, working on Mars actually has great benefits. This is not because the gravity of Mars is only 38% of the Blue Star, so it is much easier to lift heavy objects.
