Chapter 1003 The fluttering red flag~

When the dust in the sky came into view through the porthole of the lander, the eyes of Liu Yang, Zhai Zhigang, Jiang Xinlin and Tang Hongbo, the four members of the Mars landing team, were a little moist.

At this moment, the heroism and excitement in their hearts filled their entire chests, and the hot blood burned every corner of their bodies like fire.

They

arrived!

They successfully arrived on Mars!

In the Yinghuo-1 Mars landing module, Zhai Zhigang took several deep breaths of oxygen to calm himself down a little.

Immediately, he quickly connected to the satellite that had been dropped above their heads and was now hovering in the synchronous orbit of Mars through the communication device of the Mars landing module, and then transferred the signal to the Hanhai space shuttle.

"Calling Hanhai, this is the Yinghuo-1 Mars landing module, we have successfully landed!"

After a brief silence, an excited voice came from the headset.

"This is Hanhai, contact received!"

In the headset of the space suit, Gui Haichao, who had been squatting in the cockpit, looked down at the planet under his feet, his face flushed and excited.

The No. 1 and No. 2 Mars landing modules successfully arrived on the surface of Mars. They succeeded!

Successfully created history and successfully completed the dream of manned Mars landing!

After a brief exchange of information about the landing on Mars, in the cockpit, Gui Haichao excitedly saved this short message permanently in the Hanhai database and sent it back to the distant mother planet through a relay satellite.

This is a moment of witnessing history, and it is also a moment that makes all Chinese people and even the world proud!

In the Yinghuo-1 Mars landing module, after contacting the Hanhai space shuttle, Zhai Zhigang reported the landing situation briefly, and Jiang Xinlin, who landed with him, came back to his senses.

"Captain, are we here? Mars?"

Looking at the dust outside the porthole with some dissipation, feeling the gravity under his feet, as if he was back on Earth, he still couldn't believe that he had set foot on Mars.

Zhai Zhigang smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Of course, we are here!"

He was not surprised by Jiang Xinlin's performance.

When he first performed a manned lunar mission and stood on the moon with his feet firmly on the ground, he was not much better than him.

As for now, although he is also excited and proud, as a person who has performed countless space missions, he can face it all calmly.

"Check the overall situation of Yinghuo 1, I will contact the second group."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Jiang Xinlin suddenly came back to his senses, reported loudly, and began to skillfully check the equipment of the landing cabin with excitement and pride.

Zhai Zhigang nodded and contacted Liu Yang, the leader of the landing cabin of Yinghuo 2.

"Calling Yinghuo No. 2, this is Yinghuo No. 1, how is the situation over there?"

"No. 2 received, we have successfully arrived on the surface of Mars, and are currently conducting equipment inspections on the Mars landing module."

"Received, see you later!"

"See you later!"

After hanging up the communication, Zhai Zhigang took a deep breath and joined the equipment inspection of the Mars landing module.

Soon, a series of reports were transmitted to the Hanhai space shuttle through the Mars landing module, and then forwarded back to Earth.

"The life support device inspection is complete, the current oxygen storage is 100%, and it can sustain six hours of extravehicular activities!"

"The emergency oxygen supply device inspection is complete! The system is normal!"

"The active injection system test is complete! The system is normal!"

"The call and camera device inspection is complete!"

"The extravehicular operating tools are inspected!"

"The five-star red flag is unfolded!"

"."

"The physical condition inspection is complete, and the oxygen and nitrogen inhalation before leaving the cabin are complete!"

Under the guidance of the Hanhai space shuttle, the four Mars landing teams and the two Yinghuo Mars landing modules completed all the test procedures one by one in the inspection order.

"All pre-inspections have been completed according to the steps for landing on Mars, and everything is normal now!"

When the final report sounded in his ears, Zhai Zhigang's heart, which had calmed down a lot, began to beat violently again.

Next, it was time to take the first step in human history!

"Landing on Mars!"

These two short words were transmitted to the ears of the four astronauts of the landing team.

The two Yinghuo landing modules, which were nearly one thousand meters apart, opened their doors almost simultaneously.

Holding the five-star red flag in one hand and holding the gangway in the other, Zhai Zhigang and Liu Yang walked out of the landing module at the same time and stood on the desolate and hopeful land.

When this moment really came, a feeling that was so wonderful that it could not be described in words was like being transmitted from the soil of Mars under their feet to their hearts from the bottom up, and the whole person was boiling.

Following Zhai Zhigang, Jiang Xinlin also walked out of the landing module holding the gangway.

Looking at the desolate scenery around him and the hazy boundary of the crater, at this moment, he, who had not cried for 20 or 30 years, suddenly felt like crying.

Mars!

This is Mars!

On the other side, Earth.

In the main control room of the manned Mars landing project at the Xiashu Space Base in Jinling, although the Mars landing could not be broadcast live in real time like the moon landing.

But thanks to the rapid development of aerospace technology, they have built a satellite communication network between the Earth, the Moon and Mars, and there are no major problems in communication between the Earth and Mars.

At such an important moment as manned landing on Mars, communication satellites and relay satellites are almost running at full power, and can transmit the landing process and related videos in real time.

Ten minutes ago, when the Hanhai space shuttle dropped two landing capsules, everyone in the general control couldn't help holding their breath.

The long and short time passed by little by little. When the members of the landing team stood firmly on Mars and slowly waved to the camera deployed on the landing capsule bracket, the whole control room erupted in deafening cheers.

Some people raised their fists and waved to celebrate, some people hugged their companions excitedly, and some people were already in tears.

They succeeded!

They landed on Mars successfully!

The footprints belonging to China and human civilization were imprinted on that distant planet!

At this moment, they wrote history!

At this moment, they, together with the astronauts standing tens of millions of kilometers away, wrote history and opened a new chapter in China's space history.

Standing in front of the general command platform, looking at the astronauts who have already set foot on Mars, the long-awaited old man smiled happily and spoke sincerely.

"Good! Good! Really good!"

Retracting his gaze from the monitoring screen, he looked at Xu Chuan standing beside him, and his eyes fell on this young man who changed the entire China and even all mankind.

It was him who brought all this!

Although he had thought about it countless times in his mind, he still couldn't help but sigh at this moment, the backbone of the country, the lucky star of the people!

Feeling the gaze from the side, Xu Chuan turned his head, looked at each other, with a smile on his face, and nodded gently.

With a thumbs up, the old man smiled sincerely and said, "Well done!"

Hearing this compliment, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Thank you."

Although communication data is still valuable, it is still no problem to receive the landing video from Mars by relying on the relay satellites and communication satellites that have been deployed long ago.

At the same time as the landing team stepped out of the landing cabin, the CTV headquarters, which was broadcasting the noon news, had made all preparations.

Sitting in front of the stage, the female host with shoulder-length hair had a standard smile on her face, facing the camera, and spoke in an enthusiastic voice.

"There is a pursuit called loyalty to the country; there is a day called starry night perseverance; there is a festival called August 1st Army Day; today is August 1st, and it is also the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."

"While the people of the whole country bless this festival and send blessings to our people's soldiers, there are also people in the distant starry sky who send us a special blessing!"

Accompanied by the host's voice, the picture on the TV screen quickly switched to the orbit of Mars tens of millions of kilometers away.

Standing in the cabin of the Hanhai space shuttle, Gui Haichao and Tang Shengjie, wearing astronaut uniforms, smiled and waved to the camera.

"Hello, everyone. This is the Hanhai space shuttle. We are now in the Mars near-Earth orbit 60 million kilometers away from the Earth."

"Our other four teammates have already set foot on the land of Mars and are carrying out their missions. We cannot meet you. So on this special day, my partner Tang Shengjie (Gui Haichao) and I, on behalf of the manned Mars landing team, send a blessing from Mars to the people of the whole country."

"I wish you all good health and a lasting love for your country! All the best, and may all your wishes come true!"

"I also wish my partners who are celebrating the festival today a happy holiday, and may everyone be safe, healthy, and happy!"

After the short blessing video was played, the news broadcast screen switched again.

This time, the video was taken from the Mars landing cabin of the Yinghuo.

On that piece of red soil, a bright red five-star red flag was gently swaying in the breeze on Mars.
