Chapter 349: The first manned Martian spacecraft

Just when the eyes of the whole world were attracted by the establishment of the Human Federation, a capsule spacecraft carrying a whole ship of compressed food flew across the starry sky to the back of the moon.
On the far side of the moon, a two-kilometer-long shipyard is quietly floating in the moon’s orbit in an area on the earth that cannot be observed with optical observation devices.
There are also several space stations connected to each other by corridors around the shipyard. These space stations are not large in size and can accommodate hundreds of people, and their appearance is back to what humans should build with existing technology. Rather than orbital light, it doesn't look like what humans can build today.
Thousands of individual space station cabins are connected together to form these small space stations.
It is not difficult to guess that by contacting the nearby space dock, these space stations are used by the crew in the dock.
On the surface of the moon below the space station, there is a large construction site that is being excavated. Countless construction machinery is busy in a crater, and the embryonic form of a large ground base has emerged.
After a long flight, the capsule spacecraft decelerated to the space port next to the dock.
When the cargo compartment door of the capsule spacecraft was opened, twenty drones flew out of the dock, dragging out all the containers carried in the capsule spacecraft and flying back into the dock.
In a transparent corridor that can see the entire interior of the dock, Tang Shizhe wearing strong colonial armor and several dead guards are floating towards the front control room.
And below this long corridor, a spaceship about a kilometer long is parked on the berth, hundreds of mechanical arms are busy on it, and a large number of electric sparks burst out from time to time.
The spacecraft has a very simple appearance. The head is a cockpit in the style of a shuttle. After the cockpit is connected to the living area composed of ten pairs of trapezoidal cabins on the left and right sides.
Behind the living cabin is a tool cabin composed of four large cuboid cargo warehouses with a length of three hundred meters up, down, left and right. These four tool warehouses are attached to the keel of the spacecraft in the middle. Inside the keel there is a three-hundred-meter long Corridors lead to various tool warehouses.
And where the tool warehouse and the living compartment meet is a huge toroidal cabin. This toroidal cabin generates centrifugal force in the cabin through the high-speed rotation of the central rotor. This centrifugal force will be used for the crew in the spacecraft. Provide artificial gravity during the gravity-free flight.
In addition, there is a cultivation area imitating the sun's rays in this annular cabin, which can be used for the crew to cultivate some vegetable plants.
Behind the tool compartment is a rectangular wing extending left and right. Of course, this wing is not for providing lift, but for docking four shuttles that can travel to and from low-gravity planets and orbits.
The four shuttles can be entered through the hidden channels in the wings, and the wings also function to transport fuel, oxygen, and articles to the shuttle.
Behind the wings is a material area with spherical tanks bundled into a large bundle. The entire material area is 400 meters long! It stores enough oxygen, drinking water, and liquid fuel needed for the spacecraft to perform high-power maneuvers for the ten crew members of the ship.
At the back of the material area, there are six sets of liquid fuel thrusters and six sets of ion electric propulsion.
In this engine room, there are enough bio-batteries for the spacecraft to use for three months when it cannot obtain electricity from solar energy, and three sets of high-power nuclear reactors newly provided by the People’s Republic of China.
The entire spacecraft is covered by an energy supply blanket and a biological display film. Not only can it absorb solar energy for use by the spacecraft, it can also enter a state of invisible to the naked eye to avoid monitoring by other countries.
After Tang Shizhe entered the control room, he saw ten "volunteers" who were about to board the spacecraft and set off in the control room.
Of these ten volunteers, six are newly trained astronauts from the Republic of Mali, and the remaining four are all splits of Tang Shizhe.
"Hello boss!" As the pioneers of the Titan Group's mission to Mars, these people have long been personally interviewed by Tang Shizhe, and they naturally recognize their big boss.
Tang Shizhe nodded slightly and stepped forward and patted the shoulder of an astronaut headed by him.
"Your mission is very arduous. Within the estimated 120-day flight time, you need to overcome all possible difficulties to successfully reach Mars! Build the first Mars base for our Titan Group!"
"Once you fail, the Titan Group's preparations for several years will be in vain!" Tang Shizhe said to the ten astronauts with a heavier tone. Of course he would not say that this dock and this spaceship are actually in this one. Built overtime during the month.
This is because all the parts need to be launched from the blue star. When the mine and manufacturing center on the back of the moon are completed, most of the spacecraft's parts can be self-sufficient on the moon base, and the efficiency of building the spacecraft will be greatly improved. !
"We promise to never disappoint the boss's expectations!" the astronauts shouted after standing up straight and saluting.
Of course, this is also related to Tang Shizhe's promise that they will be rewarded with 10 million federal coins and a set of coastal villas after the mission is completed and returned to Earth.
To explain here, the Federal Currency is a newly launched currency of the Human Federation. At present, it is exchanged for one to one U.S. dollar, and the exchange rate for the soft sister currency is one to six.
After the person in charge of the Mars landing project explained some matters needing attention again, ten astronauts walked into the channel leading to the dock.
"How about it, did our detector return subsequent images?" After all the astronauts left, Tang Shizhe asked the person in charge in a deep voice.
"The follow-up images are returned. Our detector can only find the target's figure within 500 meters of the target~EbookFREE.me~ Once we leave the distance of 500 meters, we will not see any traces of the existence of objects!
"And as long as it gets closer to within 100 meters, the detector will lose contact!" The person in charge shook his head.
Tang Shizhe lowered his head, and a blurry picture appeared on the monitor in front of him. It could be seen that there was a huge earth-yellow ball floating in the picture, and there were a lot of carved patterns on the ball.
The most important thing is not the pattern on the ball! It's the fact that the other party has been floating in the air from being discovered to multiple detections by the detector! The detector did not find any traces of propeller jets around it!
Time goes back to a month ago...
The Space Agency of the Lecan Republic is in a base in the desert.
"You can't come in! This is top secret!" a staff member stood in front of an elevator and shouted to the Titan Group soldiers in front of him.
"Don't you know that this is the era of the Lican People's Republic? Get out!" The soldier drew out his pistol and shouted.
