Chapter 353

"No one speaks, so let's draw lots." Tang knew that the risk of the first batch of landing was the greatest. After all, whether the performance of the shuttle could safely reach the landing site was unknown.

The first group of people going down is the most at risk, which is why there are only two people in the first two shuttles.

"I'll go!" One schizoid raised his hand first.

"I'll go too!" Seeing someone take the lead, a bold male astronaut also raised his hand.

"And us!" Two more people raised their arms. Both of them were recruited astronauts, which made Tang jiu0 admire their courage.

"Good! You can go Tang Jiu nodded at 0:00.

The four volunteers, who were the first to go to Mars, turned on their helmets and floated toward the shuttle parking area behind the spacecraft.

After passing through an airtight door, the four boarded the upper and lower shuttles on a wing.

At this time, the spacecraft has also changed orbit to the landing site above.

"The communication equipment is normal, the shuttle thermal insulation is normal, and all subsystems are normal! You can go The first landers gave the cameras thumbs up.

"Good luck to you!" Tang read silently and closed the electromagnetic locks attached to the two shuttles.

After the docking door between the shuttle and the spacecraft was closed, the two shuttles ejected a certain distance from the spacecraft, then started their thrusters and rushed down to the red planet below.

In the Mars-1 cockpit, the remaining six astronauts watched through the porthole as the lights on the two shuttles faded away.

The two shuttles alternately passed through the thin atmosphere of Mars and arrived at the landing site that had been identified on the blue star.

The landing site is located in the middle of a vast plain surrounded by mountains, where Mars's most famous sandstorm will be much less powerful.

Not far from the landing site, the deep pits formed by the drying up of the huge lake represent that there should be a large number of underground water sources in this area.

In this way, the first Mars forward base will no longer need to send spacecraft to the poles of Mars to get frozen water.

Because the gravity of Mars is only about one-third of that of the blue star, it is much less difficult for the shuttle to land vertically than on the blue star, so all shuttles are designed for vertical take-off and landing.

After the thrusters on the wings on both sides of the shuttle turned downward, the two shuttles slowly landed on the plain.

Four astronauts, wearing strong colonial armor, came out of the shuttle's open hatch step by step.

When the first astronaut put his foot on the land of Mars, another astronaut picked up his camera and recorded the moment.

This is the first time that human beings have come to Mars and left their first footprints on Mars!

"Pay attention to safety. It's not known whether there is any life on Mars! We must fight with great care! " The schizoid, who was the leader of the landing team, sank into the communication network.

"Understand!" The team members nodded in response.

The four men, skipping off to the landing site, use their probes to get samples from the soil under their feet.

Two hours later, the four took all the soil samples they had collected and stored them in small glass bottles.

After collecting the samples, a small rocket suddenly rose above a shuttle.

The team leader put the box with all the samples into the top of the rocket, and the rocket soared into the air and rushed in the direction of Mars-1.

The soil samples will be sent to Mars-1's Laboratory for analysis, confirming that there is no threat to the soil samples and that there is no attack on the astronauts on the ground, Mars-1 will drop all the components of the base.

Two hours later, all soil samples were analyzed, all of which were safe green without exception.

With no attack on the astronauts on the ground, Tang started the airdrop system for the tool shed.

Like a stratospheric UAV carrier dropped in the orbit of a blue star, these tool silos were released from the ship and sent directly into the Martian atmosphere.

These tool silos carry mining machines for mining minerals and refining equipment for extracting metals.

In addition, there are all kinds of machine tools and forging equipment used to make parts.

These tools will ensure that the first landers, even if all the parts they carry are damaged, will be able to build a simple base on Mars and wait for the arrival of the second.

At the same time, if the parts and equipment carried are not damaged, the landers can also use these tools to expand the scale of the base, so that the second batch of landers can work at full power when they arrive.

When three tool silos with tools were dropped, the last one dropped by air was the one with simple base module.

These modules, which have been built on the blue star, are assembled into a small Mars colony.The state-of-the-art recycling and planting systems can meet the needs of these ten astronauts on Mars for self-sufficiency!

Even everyone can have a separate cabin of their own!

Four astronauts on the ground drove their shuttles away after confirming the start of the airdrop. They didn't want to be hit by hundreds of meters long boxes.

After passing through the atmosphere, the bottom of these metal boxes like skyscrapers began to spray out flames. At the same time, a large number of air bags appeared on the box, and the deceleration parachute has also been ejected into the air.

After the four giant metal boxes fell to the ground, all the metal plates of the boxes were unfolded, revealing all kinds of packaged equipment components inside.

"It looks like a big project." Several astronauts swallowed.

Fortunately, Titan has prepared a large number of humanoid robot labor for the first Mars base, and the heavy manual work does not need these astronauts to do it themselves.

With 200 robots busy, the first Mars forward base has taken shape.

The metal box walls of the tool warehouse were removed and assembled together to form the enclosure of the base. These 15 meter high metal walls firmly wrapped the whole base.

The top and bottom metal of the tool warehouse is used as the base "floor" buried under the foundation after simple excavation!

The first one to be assembled is the astronauts' living area. Dozens of cylindrical cabins are spliced together to form a ring-shaped living area. The circular corridor connects various functional cabins, while the inner side of the ring area is a planting shed under construction. The whole shed will be covered by a transparent dome of composite materials, so that the vegetables can be fed Foot sunshine.
