Chapter 1398: Planet tomorrow

From Xiaguang to Qiaoqiao, they walked to the party on the Moon Palace for 24 hours.
As the replenishment load is completed, they will board the Qiaoqiao, which has stronger acceleration capabilities and is more suitable for carrying a large number of passengers and supplies, to Mars, and land on the surface of Mars by Xu Fu, which serves as a temporary space station in Mars orbit.
At this moment, fifteen days have passed since the departure from the Moon Palace.
Because Mars and Earth are moving relatively far away, the time they spend on Mars will take two to three days longer than the first colonists.
Alas, even so, their current position is quite close to Mars.
If it happens to be at the right angle, you can even find the bright red spot hidden in the vast star sea on the porthole ...
对 "Yes, I have the last card."
I threw two poker cards on the table, shook the land boat of the last card in my hand, and leaned back to the chair with a lot of time. Sitting opposite him were Joel Aubrey, a professor of astrophysics at Stanford University, and Kubo Lomonov, an aerospace engineer from Moscow University.
At this moment, the two of them are staring anxiously at their hands, and their faces are covered with fluttering notes.
As for Wang Peng, the bodyguard of Lu Zhou, and Professor Schultz and Fernal, they stood behind the three and watched the game with interest.
In the end, Professor Aubrey and Professor Lomonov gave each other a look and gave up desperately to give up their struggle.
"I'm sorry ..."
Lu Zhou smiled lightly, and unsurprisingly dropped the last hand.
"It looks like I won."
半 The half-month voyage is quite boring.
只有 Only poker, chess and chess can pass the time. At first, the way nine people (counting the two chief and co-pilots) passed the time was to play chess. Until Lu Zhou was idle and bored, he used algebraic geometry to build a model of two chess boards, and solved a first hand win rate almost After 100% "solution", no one wants to play this game.
In contrast, poker with a larger luck component is more likely to win over Luzhou.
However, this is only theoretical.
In reality, in addition to Schulz occasionally winning a few land boats, the archeologist Fernard who was standing behind the land boats to observe and study was pitiful and never won once.
"Damn ... fighting your landlord is a wrong decision."
His face was almost covered with notes, while Joel Aubrey cursed and threw the card in his hand on the table, unwillingly tore off a piece of note paper, carefully sticking himself with glue On the forehead.
In fact, as a game of punishment, the most troublesome part of a sticker is not that the sticking of the note will block the sight, but in a non-gravity environment, if the note accidentally falls off and flies away, it will fill the cabin He ran after the note.
Joel Aubrey has done this kind of thing once, and he doesn't want to do it a second time.
He patted Aubrey on the shoulder, and Fernall comforted. "Give it up, my friend, and a mathematician playing this number game, you have to think about it."
Aubrey said unwillingly.
"I know ... I just want to win."
Professor Fernall said with a smile.
"I've seen too many people like you in Las Vegas. It's better to stay away from the casino in your life."
"It doesn't exist. I go once a year ... occasionally I can win some money."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Zhou shook his head, put away the poker on the table, and dropped a word. .
"There is no place for a sticker on your face, unless you want to put it in your nostrils, that's it for today."
Hearing this sentence, Lomonov, who was not very talkative, was relieved, pulled up his chair and stood up, but Aubrey said with a disappointed expression.
"Hey, how long do I need to stay in this state?"
"Ten hours."
As soon as I heard it for ten hours, Aubrey suddenly frowned.
"Can't grace point?"
Lu Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Of course, but only if you are willing to give up the opportunity to go to the underground ruins and stay in the base on the day you start your adventure."
"Sorry, brother, I don't agree on this matter," I pushed open the chair and stood up. Aubrey said sadly. "Those slips are completely fearless. Let punishment come. Be more violent! "
Liu Zhou shrugged as he watched Professor Aubrey standing alone silly.
"I was just kidding."
但 "But remember, be willing to bet on the losers, don't think about sneaking around."
Although for a moment, Lu Zhou who said that sentence was sure that he was not joking, but he had actually had similar thoughts.
I just think about it, how could I agree to such a thing.
I seem to have to wait until the underground, and then find a way to get rid of the hindrance and act alone.
Gently stroked the wrist-mounted computer in his right arm, Lu Zhou thought in his heart.
Uh ...
十八 The eighteenth day of the journey from the Moon Palace.
火 The fiery red planet finally appeared in front of everyone in a complete posture.
"We have arrived!"
"Oooo!"
Excited cheers sounded through the entire cabin, standing next to the porthole and looking at the fiery red dome. Even though the planet has been overlooked countless times through satellites and telescopes, at the moment when it was actually in orbit and captured by Mars' gravity Still, his heart not only sparked excitement and longing.
It was as if Columbus discovered the New World from the mast.
"... call the ground command center, here is the 'migrant bird', we have been successfully captured by the Mars gravitational system and are switching to Mars synchronous orbit."
"... the track switch is complete and the track height is being lowered."
"Here is the 'Migrant Bird'. Call the headquarters, we have reached the edge of the atmosphere of Mars! It is 127k away from the Xufu straight line and is approaching!"
At the same time, the alloy door of the cockpit opened, and the co-pilot wearing the spacesuit in the cabin came to Lu Zhou and his party, saluted them, and then spoke.
"We're here, and after a while you will board the Xu Fu, and I will tell you how to do it."
"Wait a second, why go to the Xu Fu first? Isn't it possible here?" Fernall raised his hand and asked nervously, "Also, how can we go down?"
When I heard this kind of idiot problem, Lu Zhou smiled and said.
"Do you still need to ask? Of course it jumped like bungee jumping, why not here because there is no rope here."
Hearing this sentence, Fernal's face was all green, Schultz and Aubrey's faces were a little pale, and only Lomonov, who was an aerospace engineer, sneered about it and did not believe Lu Zhou Kai's joke.
Bungee jumping?
Think about it, is this possible?
十二 After twelve minutes of careful orbiting, the 鹊桥, code-named "Migratory Bird", finally set up a silver-white corridor with Xu Fu, which stayed in Mars' orbit, and completed the docking work.
Although at the last moment there was the idea of ​​retreating ~ EbookFREE.me ~, but Fernal finally determined to grit his teeth and bravely followed the pedestrian through the silver-white corridor.
Standing in the spacious belly compartment, the driver stopped and looked back at the pedestrian who was about to go to the ground.
"Okay friends, we have arrived ... at this moment you are our outpost in the New World, where the dream of the ruins begins, and you will land in the landing module with the living supplies and the new function module, and there will be someone to meet you. "
"You should have learned how to use the landing module during your training, and I will send you here."
"So now, first connect the interface on your spacesuit in the cabin with the life insurance system of the landing module, and then check whether each button and each seat belt is secure, and think about what you have not said , Need me to help bring back the earth. "
"If everything is OK, raise your hand and let me know."
Looking at one hand raised, the copilot nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good."
"Now that everything is ready, let's go!"
