"No one speaks, then let's draw lots!" Tang Jiuling knew that the risk of the first batch of landing was the biggest. After all, whether the performance of the shuttle could safely reach the landing site, no one had any mentality.
The first group of people who went down was definitely the most risky. This was also the reason that only two people were in the first two shuttles.
"I'm going!" A split body took the lead and raised his hand.
"I will go too!" Seeing someone taking the lead, a bolder male astronaut also raised his hand.
"And us!" Two more people raised their arms. Both of them were recruited astronauts, which made Tang Jiuling admire their courage.
"Very good! You can go now!" Tang Jiuli nodded.
The first group of four people who voluntarily went to Mars, activated the helmets with strong reproductive armor, turned and floated towards the shuttle parking area behind the spacecraft.
After passing an airtight door, the four people boarded the upper and lower shuttles on one wing.
At this time, the spacecraft has also changed orbit over the landing site.
"The communication equipment is normal, the heat insulation of the shuttle is normal, and all the subsystems are normal! Let's go!" The first batch of landers gave their thumbs to the camera.
"Good luck to you!" Tang Jiuling said silently and closed the electromagnetic locks attached to the two shuttles.
After the docking door of the shuttle and the spacecraft was closed, the two shuttles ejected from the spacecraft for a certain distance and then activated their propellers, rushing towards the red planet below.
In the cockpit of Mars 1, the remaining six astronauts watched silently through the porthole as the signal lights on the two shuttles gradually disappeared.
The two shuttles alternately passed through the thin atmosphere of Mars and arrived at the landing site that had already been determined on the Blue Star.
This landing site is located in a huge plain. There are several mountains around this plain. Here, the most famous sandstorm on Mars will be much less powerful.
Not far from the landing point, the deep pit formed by the drying up of the huge lake means that there should still be a large amount of underground water in this area.
In this way, the first Mars forward base no longer needs to send spacecraft to the poles of Mars to fetch ice water.
Because the gravity of Mars is only about one-third of the blue star, the difficulty of vertical landing of the shuttle is much lower than that of the blue star, so all the shuttles are designed for vertical take-off and landing.
After the propellers on the wings on both sides of the shuttle turned downward, the two shuttles slowly landed on the plain.
The four astronauts wearing strong colonial armor stepped out of the hatch opened by the shuttle.
When the first astronaut stepped his foot on the Martian ground, another astronaut picked up the camera to record this moment.
This is the first time human beings have come to Mars, the first footprint left on Mars!
"Be careful, whether there are any living things on Mars or not is still unknown! We must be very careful!" The Separatist who is the leader of the landing team said in a deep voice in the communication network.
"Understand!" The group members nodded in response.
The four people scattered to the landing point, and they inserted their probes into the soil under their feet to obtain samples.
Two hours later, the four people took out all the soil samples they collected. These samples were all stored in small glass bottles.
After gathering the samples, a small rocket was suddenly erected above a shuttle.
Team leader stuffed the box containing all the samples into the top of the rocket, and the rocket directly vacated and rushed towards the direction of Mars One.
These soil samples will be sent to the Mars One laboratory for analysis. After confirming that there is no threat to these soil samples and that the astronauts on the ground have not encountered any attack, Mars One will drop all the components of the base by air. .
After another two hours, all soil samples have been analyzed, and all of them are safe and green without exception.
In addition, the astronauts on the ground did not encounter any attacks, and Tang Jiuling activated the airdrop system of the tool warehouse.
These tool warehouses are like a stratospheric drone mothership dropped in the orbit of the Blue Star. After leaving the hull, they are directly sent into the atmosphere of Mars.
These tool warehouses carry mining machines for mining minerals and refining equipment for metal extraction.
In addition, there are various machine tools and forging equipment used to manufacture parts.
These tools can ensure that the first landers, even if all the parts they carry are damaged, are able to build a simple base on Mars and wait for the second landers to arrive.
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 after they arrive.
After the three tool bins with tools were dropped, the last airdropped was the tool bin with the simple base module.
These base modules that have been built on Blue Star are assembled into a small Martian colony.
The most advanced circulation system and planting system can satisfy the self-sufficiency of these ten astronauts on Mars!
Even everyone can have their own independent cabin!
The four astronauts on the ground drove the shuttle to leave the place after confirming the start of the airdrop. They didn’t want to be hit by the hundreds of meters long box~EbookFREE.me~ These are like skyscrapers After passing through the atmosphere, the bottom of the metal box began to spurt flames wildly. At the same time, a large number of airbags appeared on the box body, and the deceleration parachute had also popped into the air.
After the four giant metal boxes landed, the metal plates of the box body were all unfolded, exposing the various equipment components already packed inside.
"It looks like a big project." Several astronauts swallowed.
Fortunately, the Titan Group has prepared a large amount of humanoid robot labor for the first Mars base. Those heavy physical tasks do not require these astronauts to do it themselves.
With the busyness of two hundred robots, the first Mars forward base has taken shape.
The metal box walls of the tool warehouse were dismantled and assembled together to form the base wall. These 15-meter-high metal walls tightly wrap the entire base in it.
The top and bottom metal of the tool warehouse are simply excavated and used as the base "floor" buried under the foundation!
The first to be assembled is the living area of the astronauts. Dozens of cylindrical cabins are spliced together to form a circular living area. The circular corridor connects the various functional cabins, and the inside of the circular area It is a growing greenhouse under construction. The entire greenhouse will be covered by a transparent dome made of composite materials so that the vegetables grown can receive sufficient sunlight.
