The main thruster is off and it is entering orbit...
Auxiliary thrusters are turned on, landing thrusters are turned on, landing gears are turned on...
is calibrating the coordinates of the landing zone, which is 1.3M away from the expected lander...
began to scan the landing area, no threats were found
Atmospheric generating tower is operating normally, countdown to landing
5! 4! 3! 2! 1!
All the thrusters are turned off! Turn on the searchlight of the landing bin!
boom.....
The dull crash sound was transmitted into the cockpit through the hull of the spacecraft.
"This is the colonial ship MW2-01. We have successfully landed at the landing site, we have successfully landed at the landing site, it's over!" Several crew members carefully unfastened their seat belts.
The gravity, much smaller than that of the earth, caused the crew to jump from the floor into the air with a light effort.
Looking out from the porthole of the cockpit is the endless white icebergs on the surface of Europa. These icebergs reflect dazzling light under the sunlight.
Not far from the landing point of the spacecraft, there is a silver tower over a hundred meters high. The top of this tower is still spraying white gas outward.
Europa, also known as Jupiter’s fourth largest satellite, is commonly called Europa. It has a volume and mass slightly smaller than that of the Moon. The cold surface is covered with ice that is ten to thirty kilometers thick.
Below this ice layer, there is an extremely rich source of water. Relying on the heat generated by the gravitational forces of subterranean volcanoes and planets such as Jupiter, under the ice layer is a huge ocean that is hundreds of kilometers deep.
Such a huge water source has become the first choice for human immigrants and aliens, and it has become the first place in the new colonial plan of the Republic.
is different from Ganymede, which has been sold to the Titan Group and developed by Gawain nematode. It can be said to be the most distant colony of mankind.
As early as a year ago, the Republic commissioned Titan Airlines to launch a large number of atmospheric generating towers on Europa. These atmospheric generating towers generate a steady stream of energy by separating the hydrogen in the ice layer, before humans have set foot on this planet. Has started to create an environment suitable for human survival.
Although hundreds of atmospheric generating towers have been launched, it is still too far away from completely transforming this planet.
But if near the atmospheric spawning tower, human beings can barely survive by relying on adaptive evolution genes.
The landing point of the colony was therefore chosen on the plain next to the first atmospheric generating tower.
"This atmospheric generating tower has been in operation for more than a year. The environment here is barely enough for the evolved humans to survive, and the colony can start work!" A crew member took off his mask after walking out of the spacecraft and passed Evolution under the hypoxic environment, the surface skin of this crew member already has the ability to absorb oxygen.
With the huge lungs that evolved into two left and right lungs, this crew member has been able to obtain the scarce oxygen in the air near the atmosphere generating tower.
"The outside air environment has been determined! Ready to start colonization!"
"All staff stay away from the designated prohibited area!"
When the sound of the gears came, the watermelon bug-like landing bin began to crack several gaps in the middle, and the shell of the landing bin began to fall towards the surrounding ground.
In the middle of the landing warehouse, a high tower like a hanging tower began to rise slowly.
In front of the high tower, building blocks began to move to the metal ground that had been unfolded all around, and a small disc-shaped square was vacated in front of the high tower.
"The colonization point is normally deployed, the multifunctional tower has been raised, and the landing platform has been vacated!"
"You can make the colonial ship in orbit begin to land!"
The colonial ship that received the signal began to adjust its posture in the orbit, aiming the propeller at the tail of the spacecraft at the surface of Europa.
Driven by the bow thruster, the colonial ship rushed towards the colony point on the ground of Europa.
When the spacecraft reached a height of 500 meters, the propeller at the tail turned on again, and the rushing flames firmly supported the 500-meter-long colonial spacecraft in mid-air.
"All staff leave the landing platform!"
"Start laser positioning!"
"The colonial ship begins to land! 3! 2! 1!" With the excited shouts of the staff in the control tower, the colonial ship steadily stopped on the landing platform in the center of the colony point, and the flames from the propellers were dropped. The vents around the platform are vented to the sky.
After the colonial ship stopped, ten pairs of mechanical tongs popped out from the left and right sides of the multifunctional tower, which firmly fixed the colonial ship in front of the launch tower.
At the same time, the bow of the colonial ship also opened to the sides, revealing the huge warehouse inside the colonial ship.
The hanging tower at the top of the multifunctional tower began to lift a large number of containers out of the spacecraft from the colonial ship’s warehouse.
"Very good! Very good! Okay! Just put it here!" On the ice around the colony point, a large number of staff wielded light sticks to direct the crane tower to neatly place the container-style houses for living in the colony point. Around.
After these container houses landed, four metal rods were ejected from the box and inserted into the ice.
Then, the two sides of the container are like some RVs, half of the small box is extended to both sides, and the top of the box is also expanded with solar panels on one side.
Although these container houses each have an area of less than 20 square meters, they have become two-storey double-storey houses with two floors and 80 square meters. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and study are all available!
After the completion of the deployment of the container housing ~EbookFREE.me~ all the dormant bins located in the box were closed, and the colonists in the dormant bin were awakened from dormancy under electric shock.
In just five days, only one-fifth of the entire colonial ship was dismantled, and the colony expanded to a diameter of 500 meters.
The neat and uniform container houses form a piece of residential area. Around the house are the energy supply blanket just planted and the anti-skid road surface.
With the green color of the energy supply blanket, this colony already has some vitality.
At this time, one-fifth of the colonial ships left in the dismantled area rose into the sky again.
The colonial ship with modular design can leave a single reusable sub-ship after the colony is established.
This sub-ship will return to the Martian colony for resupply, and then return to Blue Star to pull in a new batch of colonists and equipment to return to Europa.
Only this time of colonial activity, Europa's equator has five colonies of 500 people.
In the next ten years, the Republic will continue to launch as many as one hundred colonial ships, sending 50,000 colonists to this remote satellite that does not for major development.
At the same time, exploration activities for the ocean beneath Europa’s ice layer also began simultaneously.
