Advanced Players in Arc

"...For this landing event, we will follow the previous grouping, and I will lead some people down."

"Vice Captain Xu Qingfeng, you and the remaining team members will stay behind on the spacecraft and continue to conduct space experiments. As the mother ship, you will serve as our eyes and ears in space and report to us on the surrounding environment. How do you feel?"

Musk asked Xu Qingfeng with a smile.

"Of course, no problem. This is a task we have determined a long time ago. Just leave the early warning work to us." Xu Qingfeng said seriously.

"That's good, that's no problem."

As he spoke, Musk reached out and turned a three-dimensional projection of a one-meter-diameter virtual Mars on the console, pointed at one of the flashing red dots and said, "Our landing point is here. I'll trouble you then." Pay attention to everything within a hundred kilometers around us."

"No problem," Xu Qingfeng looked at the virtual projection of Mars on the console, then pulled the image with both hands to enlarge it. "At that time, if the intelligent system detects that a dangerous situation has occurred in the area, it will issue a warning and then use the virtual projection to It will definitely show up.”

"After the personnel on duty receive the notification, they will send you relevant reminders, and then you will make a decision."

The meeting has ended. As captain and vice-captain, Musk and Xu Qingfeng discussed some details, as well as some future collaboration issues.

Then they had the time to sigh, these operable holographic projections are so easy to use, and they see things so intuitively and three-dimensionally.

A long time ago, Arclight Aerospace launched some detectors into the orbit of Mars and on the surface of Mars. Through various cameras, detectors, etc., they "touched" the situation of Mars clearly.

The group's advanced computer technology was then used to create this hologram of Mars with an initial diameter of one meter and was placed in the spacecraft's database.

Before, when they learned about the spacecraft, they knew that they could use holograms, and they even used them many times during the flight of the spacecraft to become familiar with the spacecraft system.

After the establishment of Arclight Group, not many deep space probes were launched into space, because in the end it was only a private company and profit was the main thing.

As for exploring the secrets of the universe, that can only be done incidentally when there is profit.

Therefore, the Arc Light Group will conduct detailed detection of targets only when it is carrying out a project. This allows the holographic operation platform to have a holographic model of the solar system, but only the holograms of the Earth-Moon system and Mars are the most detailed, and other celestial bodies use them. They are all public information and have a rough model of the entire system.

It was amazing to watch at that time, but I was far from being next to Mars. After seeing the real body of Mars, and then using the Mars holographic projection to operate and explain the... magical feeling.

There is Mars outside the spacecraft, and there is another Mars in front of you. And due to the close distance, the performance of the two "Mars" is almost synchronous.

At most, the level of detail of the "Mars" in front of you will be a little worse. After all, it's not a real thing.

The meeting was over, the members had finished their meals, and even had a good sleep for a few hours, and the spacecraft had made many laps in the orbit of Mars.

It's time to land on Mars.

Musk asked the landing team members, "Do you want to eat on the spacecraft or on Mars?"

"Mars!"

The landing team members responded loudly.

"Our first meal on Mars is very simple. There is no freshly cooked steak or freshly stir-fried vegetables. Think about it and tell me where you want to eat?" Musk asked again with a smile.

"Mars!"

The landing team members still shouted the same answer.

After hearing what the landing team members said in unison, those who were going to stay on the spacecraft for space experiments smiled at one of the landing team members, "Haha, Ye Tong, it seems they think your cooking is not delicious. I don’t even want to eat the food you cooked!”

The team member named Ye Tong shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Probably, then it seems that I will just cook for myself in the future. It will be easier."

"Ah, no, dear Ye, I was wrong, I like your food very much!"

"Ye Tong, don't take it seriously. I will have to rely on you to survive in the future."

"Boss Ye, please hug me, don't abandon me!"

Ye Tong was so indifferent that the team members panicked and began to beg for mercy in a funny way.

Looking at the tension-free atmosphere, Musk nodded with satisfaction, then said hello to Xu Qingfeng, and took the landing team members to the cargo shuttle, which was the "Diao" with a modified power system. Class aerospace transport aircraft.

In order to expand cargo capacity, the cockpit of the current "Diao"-class aerospace plane is already very small, and can only accommodate two people. However, correspondingly, the cargo compartment has become larger, just like the transport aircraft on Earth, and some people can sit next to it. people, and then place the goods in the middle.

After making sure everyone was ready, the two shuttles carrying the landing team and cargo left the Voyage and flew toward Mars.

The density of the atmosphere of Mars is only one percent of that of the Earth, so traveling through it does not cause much friction. The shuttle does not vibrate much and does not experience much turbulence.

There were no windows in the cargo cabin, so the landing team had no idea how spectacular the place they were flying over was.

Viewed from the sky, two white shuttles flying in the red world are a rare sight in this world.

The thin atmosphere of Mars can provide extremely limited lift, and it cannot support the heavy body of the shuttle at all. Even their aerodynamic layout is quite good, so the main power of the shuttle comes from the jet engine that can rotate back and forth.

They flew together over canyons, hills, mountains, and craters, flying unsteadily toward their destination. It wasn't until the navigation computer showed that they had reached their destination that they sprayed hot flames downwards and landed with the force of recoil. .

The originally flat landing site was a mess destroyed by the engine nozzles. This is the disadvantage of not having a dedicated airport.

Although there were no portholes in the cabin, they still felt the obvious shaking, which was different from the shaking caused by turbulence in the air. This must mean the landing was successful.

"Are we going to land on Mars now?"

"Yeah, I don't feel anything at all. Is this a success?"

"It's a bit unfinished. We have accomplished the dream that mankind has always had so easily. There is too little sense of accomplishment."

Just as they were sighing, Musk's laughter and curses came from the communication channel, "Okay, girls and boys, don't sigh. It's time for us to leave the cabin. You are here to land on Mars, not for an outing." of."

"Check your spacesuit. Is your helmet on? Has the oxygen been switched to internal circulation? I don't want you to die on Mars as soon as you land on Mars."

"In that case, although you will become a celebrity, you will be the first person to die on Mars. You will definitely be included in future astronaut training courses, but it is just a negative teaching material: Hey, you all remember this stupid idiot, he The first person to die on Mars was killed by his own stupidity!"

"Do you understand everything? Anyone who doesn't want to die will be examined carefully by me."

"Understood, captain!" the team members shouted loudly.

"Okay then, let's go, the driver gets in the car and tows our car and our home out."

"Follow the car on foot, and be careful about your feet. This car has a lot of tires."
