I was exposed for mining on Mars

Chapter 45 Thousands of ‘arrows’ fired in unison

While Luo Xiu was busy building planetary shields and electromagnetic railguns, the major space agencies on Blue Star were about to usher in the window period for Mars landing.

From Mao Xiong to island countries, from the European Union to America, from India to the North and South, in each space launch site, spacecrafts have been filled with fuel and are quietly waiting for the opportunity to launch.

Among the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, the Southern Kingdom actually has no manned plans. They only provide a supply cabin for Amerik.

However, its neighboring island country across the sea is more ambitious. In addition to launching a cabin for Amerik, the island country itself is also preparing to launch its own set of landing spacecraft.

Of course, time is not kind to the island nation. They did not have much reserves of spacecraft before, so some parts were manufactured urgently.

Fortunately, the island country still has its own foundation for precision manufacturing. After working overtime, it was able to produce all the required parts.

During this period of time, in addition to stepping up strategic deployment, the countries on Blue Star focused all their energy on the mission of landing on the mission.

As a very important player in the mission, China is no exception. At this time, everyone in the space center was looking at the milky-white launch vehicle surrounded by a huge launch tower in the launch site.

"Petrov, check the time. There are still three hours, seven minutes and forty seconds before launch, thirty-eight seconds..."

"Thirty-six seconds..."

After confirming that the time between both parties was correct, Cao Guolin nodded slightly and said, "Very good, the time is fine."

"Cao, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with this launch." Mao Xiong will be responsible for launching the first rocket of this joint launch. As their representative, Petrov patted his chest confidently.

Cao Guolin and others were currently located at the South China Space Launch Site, and they were responsible for the most important manned part of this series of missions.

Two scholars, Luo Faqi and Xue He, and a professional astronaut have already made preparations and are just waiting to enter the manned cabin during the launch preparation stage.

Although it was only three hours before the launch, it was an extremely long time for Cao Guolin, Luo Faqi and others.

Luo Faqi, who was coming back from the press conference, was wearing a full spacesuit and sitting in the rest area. He turned to Xue He and said, "Old Xue, how do you feel?"

"It's amazing. I never thought that one day I would go into space." Xue He leaned back in his chair and looked at the launch site outside the window. He still felt that everything that happened during this period was too magical.

When unknown creatures appeared on Mars, he was still taking classes at Coastal University. The principal suddenly found Xue He and said that someone wanted to see him.

Upon seeing this, after a brief negotiation, Xue He was taken to the nearest base for a physical examination. One day later, Xue He was taken directly to the space center and began training.

"We have been burdened with too much since we left."

Xue He sometimes asked himself whether it was too hasty to entrust him with such a major task as going to Mars.

He has been devoted to biological research since entering university and has never had any aerospace experience. If we insist on saying that he has anything to do with aerospace, it might just be that he has flown on planes a few more times and watched rocket launches.

But despite this, when the motherland needed him, Xue He and Luo Faqi, a professor of language, stepped forward without hesitation.

"As you saw yesterday, Mars is developing too fast, and those robots are like locusts sweeping through the resources of Mars."

"If we fail to communicate, these 'locusts' will devour the entire solar system."

Xue He was muttering to himself there alone. Neither Luo Faqi nor the astronaut named Yang next to him interrupted.

"Principal Xue, Professor Luo, Colonel Yang, it's time to enter the cabin."

Just when the three of them started to respond in silence, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and a young scientific researcher walked in and said to the three of them.

The three people who had already been prepared stood up immediately as soon as they heard the sound, picked up the portable ventilation device of their spacesuits, and followed out.

There is still some distance from the rest area to the launch pad, but this time the mission is special, so no one was arranged to watch and celebrate. After the three people walked out of the building, they got into a small sightseeing car and went straight to the launch pad.

130 minutes before launch, the three people successfully entered the manned cabin.

But far away at Mao Xiong's launch site, another rocket has entered the launch countdown.

"In three minutes, the first rocket will be launched."

In the Chinese Aerospace Control Center, Petrov glanced at his watch and said to Cao Guolin beside him.

In fact, Cao Guolin didn't need Petrov to remind him. He was always looking at the big screen in front of him.

At this time, in addition to the construction status of the 'Planet Belt' transmitted back from the Nazhurong on Mars, launch sites in various places were also included on the big screen.

Kazakhstan’s Baikonur launch base is responsible for the launch mission of the Mao Xiong astronauts, and Svobodny is also responsible for the launch of various daily necessities including ‘medical alcohol’.

Baikonur will be the first launch base, followed by China's West Space Center.

"One more minute."

Petrov's eyes were only on his watch at this time.

"Fifty-eight, fifty-six..."

As the time approached, even Petrov, who had always been very nervous, became nervous, and his words vibrated.

"nineteen……"

"one!"

As Petrov's countdown ended, in the picture transmitted back from the Baikonur base in Kazakhstan, Mao Xiong's rocket had been ignited, and the huge rocket rose from the ground, with violent flames spraying from the tail, soaring into the sky.

"Okay!" Petrov roared after seeing the running status of the rocket, celebrating the successful launch of the first rocket.

Below Cao Guolin and Petrov, the other astronauts started to cheer. The successful launch of the first rocket was a good start for this mission.

At the same time that Mao Xiong launched the first rocket, the island countries, the European Union, and India that received the intelligence also set fire one after another. In the major space launch sites of Blue Star, rockets break free from the constraints of Blue Star's gravity and head towards the unknown.

In just two hours, a total of sixteen rockets took off from Blue Star. This does not include those rockets that are still waiting at the launch site after countries are waiting for the first batch of spacecraft to enter orbit.

"It's truly spectacular."

On the big screen in front of Cao Guolin, the scenes of satellite launches from various countries captured by satellites were being played.

"This is our Blue Star civilization."

A reward from a ten-year old bookworm, and I wish everyone who has a partner a happy Chinese Valentine's Day, and those who don't have a partner, find one today~
