Chapter 467 Journey to Mars ([-])

The hustle and bustle of Blue Star did not interfere with the Sun Reacher spacecraft 1.41 million kilometers away.

After successfully orbiting Mars in synchronous orbit, Fang Tianbo, Lin Lei, Masashi Kishimoto, and Yuri also left the life support cabin.The 9527 robot on the side is helping them clean the anti-g chamber and adjust their physical condition.

The correspondent, Yuri, began to contact Blue Star every hour. This was the first time in human history that humans had actually set foot on Mars. They had to be more cautious.

At the same time, Yuri also took over the work of Kishimoto Masashi, and closely monitored the situation of each orbit of Mars through the Mars Communication Satellite Network.

"Zhengshi, we are going to launch satellite work." Fang Tianbo ordered.

"Hi!" Masashi Kishimoto nodded.

"Let me help too! Is there anything I can do?" Linley asked. In fact, he didn't need to listen to the orders of the captain Fang Tianbo, because the status of political commissar is very special. Act independently, just like Zhong who hides in No. 9527.

Fang Tianbo thought for a while and said, "Then I would like to ask Committee Member Lin to help us with logistics management and food!"

"Yes." Linley replied with a smile.

The three of them started to get busy, and the 9527 robot also helped, but everyone was very strange about this robot subordinate of Admiral Huang Zhong, but they didn't dare to talk too much about the above.

Fang Tianbo opened the spacecraft's operating system and found the communication satellite storage compartment, while Masashi Kishimoto quickly entered the orbit information. This time they carried 25 communication satellites to supplement the existing Mars communication satellite network.

"Captain Synchronous Orbit Communication 12, the orbital parameters have been confirmed and can be launched." Masashi Kishimoto said meticulously.

"receive."

drop!Fang Tianbo pressed the launch switch, and the communication satellite reserve compartment opened. This was a launch window similar to a missile. The sealing cover popped open instantly, and a spherical satellite was ejected.

The ion engine carried by the spherical satellite starts up instantly, and it spits out a light blue tail flame and heads towards the set Mars synchronous orbit. These spherical communication satellites are all large communication satellites, weighing up to 10 tons.

In the next half an hour, one by one holographic communication satellites were put into the Mars synchronous orbit from Chaser, and soon the newly added 25 spherical communication satellites formed a 11-communication satellite with the previous 36 satellites. satellite network.

But this is not enough. These communication satellites can be used for communication near Mars, but it is very troublesome to communicate between Mars and Blue Star. The communication signals between the two places are quite weak, especially the communication from Mars to Blue Star. weak.

Soon 4 larger communication satellites were launched to a position higher than the Mars synchronous orbit. The signal enhancement satellites on these 4 communication satellites were specially used to communicate with Bluestar and used as relay satellites.

"Phew, everything is going well." Fang Tianbo breathed a sigh of relief looking at the normal operation of the satellite. He glanced at the bracelet and found that the time had reached 13:21, blue star time, and there was also a Martian time on the watch.

However, because the rotation of Mars is almost the same as that of the blue star, the Mars day is also about 24 hours, specifically 24 hours, 37 minutes, and 22.6 seconds, while the blue star is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. The difference between the two is only 41 minutes and 18.6 seconds. The gap is not too serious.

"Captain Fang, Zheng Shi can eat now." Linley floated over to remind him.

"Ok."

The two of them headed for the living quarters, while Linley was going to replace Yuri Dao. At least one of them must be in the cockpit, which is a strict requirement of the spacecraft safety regulations.

After a while, Yuri, Fang Tianbo, and Masashi Kishimoto were in the living cabin and began to choose their favorite set meals.

"Everyone has dinner, I'll record a video and send it back to Blue Star." Fang Tianbo said as he clicked on the holographic bracelet.

Yuri chose his favorite mapo tofu rice bowl and some vegetables and fruits, while Masashi Kishimoto chose Kabayaki eel rice and grilled lamb chops.

"Come on, I'm going to say a few words." Fang Tianbo said, fixing the holographic bracelet in one position.

"Friends of Blue Star, good afternoon everyone!"

"This is our first meal on Mars, let's encourage each other."

"In the Mars synchronous orbit, it is actually the same as the Blue Star synchronous orbit, cheers!"

After the three of them finished speaking, Fang Tianbo turned off the video recording of the holographic bracelet, clicked to send back to Blue Star, and the communication waves stored in the video information went to Blue Star through the communication relay satellite.

"Captain, I heard that your brother is also an astronaut, which area is he in?" Masashi Kishimoto asked while eating.

"In the moon area, New Keelung City." Fang Tianbo replied.

"Is it the New Keelung City where the Anluo starship was discovered?" Yuri asked curiously.

Fang Tianbo nodded: "That's right there."

Masashi Kishimoto ate a piece of eel, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Do you think it's strange, as soon as we develop into outer space, these aliens come out one after another. Did Mi Li's family also discover something on the moon?"

"Probably not. If so, their technology has exploded long ago. It is impossible for them to be dawdling in Blue Star for decades." Yuri shook his head and said.

"The discovery of aliens one after another is actually related to our technological progress. The more advanced our technology is, the greater the probability of discovering aliens." Fang Tianbo explained.

"It makes sense." Yuri agreed with this statement.

"You say, is there life on Mars? I mean intelligent life." Masashi Kishimoto said.

"I don't know, but the probability of intelligent life is relatively small. It's hard to say about low-level bacteria and viruses." Fang Tianbo said with a smile.

After a meal, the three of them cleaned up the trash, Yuri went to replace Lin Lei, while Fang Tianbo and Kishimoto Masashi continued to launch satellites.

The two first launched detection satellites to Phobos and Deimos respectively. Phobos is two detection satellites, and Deimos is one satellite.

Then there are 12 exploration satellites in total, including 8 geological and mineral exploration satellites and 4 meteorological exploration satellites.

Although the atmosphere of Mars is thin, there is still an atmosphere, especially the dust storms on Mars, which are very famous. However, due to the relatively small gravity of Mars, the dust storms on Mars seem to be overwhelming, but the actual destructive power is not great.

After launching the satellites, the two began to test the various functions of each satellite. Although these satellites were mature products of the Human Innovation Alliance, there was still a problem with a geological and mineral exploration satellite.

"Geosatellite No. 5 is malfunctioning." Masashi Kishimoto reported.

Fang Tianbo was not surprised, he calmly ordered: "Check the fault."

After a while, Masashi Kishimoto replied: "The solar panel on the left side has failed. The backup circuit has been activated, and the fault has been repaired."

"Okay, go ahead and test the other satellites."

The two continued to work, one satellite after another was tested by them, and their first mission to Mars was completed.

The next step is to build a Mars synchronous orbit space station. This Mars synchronous orbit space station will serve as a transfer station and supply station for landing on the Martian ground in the future.

After a busy day, they did not immediately build a space station, but prepared to take a bath and rest.
