Chapter 573 Take off
Of course! Their most important mission for the Ziweixing-1 scientific research ship is to find water sources on Mars. Although past detections have proven that there are indeed water sources on Mars, they are still unable to determine the exact source of water on Mars.
How many there are, and at the same time, they are not sure whether there is really life on Mars.
The previous several inspections only conducted certain inspections of the atmosphere of Mars and the surface of Mars. However, as for the underground of Mars, neither the beautiful country nor other countries have conducted inspections before. They only conducted some possibility analysis.
That's all.
Therefore, the most important task of their trip to Mars is naturally to find water sources. After all, water is the source of life, and its importance is self-evident. Without water, if you want to establish a base on Mars, no one can imagine the difficulty.
, but once Mars has a water source, everything will become different and much simpler.
Of course, in addition to this, they will also look for whether there is life on Mars, or whether there are traces of life. At the same time, if possible, they will also investigate the satellites of Mars to see whether there are water resources and
life etc.
Although their inspection mission this time is very arduous, the total trip ranges from one to two years to three to five years. In other words, the people in this spacecraft will not be able to return to Earth for at least three years. If they are ordinary people,
, it is simply impossible to survive in the universe for such a long time, even in a spaceship. After all, earth civilization has not yet mastered artificial gravity technology, so this spaceship does not have artificial gravity.
Living in a gravity-free environment for such a long time will 100% cause cosmic diseases under normal circumstances. Therefore, in order to ensure the survival of the crew and these scientists, they also carry a large number of gene therapy drugs and gene optimization drugs to ensure that they survive.
You will not suffer from space sickness during long-term space life.
At the same time, there are also a large number of entertainment facilities and fitness facilities in the spacecraft to ensure the physical and mental health of these crew members during their long-term space survival.
Although this solar system expedition plays an important role for human civilization, if there is really no other way, we can even sacrifice the lives of some people to ensure that the plan is implemented. Therefore, regarding the side effects of gene therapy drugs and gene optimization drugs
, after these crew members and scientists entered the project, they have been informed, and based on the principle of voluntariness, if they want to withdraw from the project, Zhang Yi and the others will not stop them.
However, no one, whether it was the crew or scientists on the spacecraft, quit the project. They knew that the risk factor of this trip was very high, and there was even a possibility that they would never return. However, for the sake of the future of the entire human race, they still had no hesitation.
Be mentally prepared.
"Attention all crew members! Please start the self-inspection program of the spacecraft and prepare for final inspection before take-off." At this moment, Zhang Yi, as the supreme commander of the human space program, issued an order.
"The self-test program has been started and self-test is in progress!"
"The reactor is undergoing self-inspection! 1%, 2%, 3%... 100%! The self-inspection is completed and everything is normal!"
"The energy delivery system starts self-test!..."
"The spacecraft engine system begins self-test...!"
"The spacecraft's life support system begins self-test!......"
"…………"
As the self-inspection program started to run, Zhang Yi and the others were at the command station, quietly listening to the reports of various crew members!
Since a spacecraft is a very complex system, especially a spacecraft like this that can truly navigate the sea of stars, the self-inspection of the spacecraft took more than an hour to complete.
When the last piece of normal self-test data was sent to the command platform, Zhang Yi finally gave the order to open the top of the slipway under the watchful eyes of political leaders from all over the world after joining the Earth Space Program!
"Gasp!..." As the order was given, a crack appeared on the roof of the shipbuilding workshop, and as time went on, the cracks became larger and larger. Finally, the top of the entire shipbuilding workshop was completely opened, and the external situation was completely presented.
in front of everyone.
As the door at the top of the factory was opened, Zhang Yi ordered again: "Start the spacecraft engine and prepare for liftoff."
The moment Zhang Yi gave the order, all the engines in the spacecraft adjusted their directions and were pointed at the ground. After adjusting their directions, these engines started running under the operation of the crew.
Of course, since Zhang Yi has not given the order to take off yet, the warship has only started these engines. These engines are only working at low power now, so they are not enough to make the spacecraft fly.
At this time! Everyone looked at Zhang Yi quietly, waiting for his order.
However, Zhang Yi did not immediately issue the take-off order, but turned to look at the dignitaries from various countries who came here today to participate in the launch ceremony. After all, this spacecraft is not only the credit of the Colorful Stone Group, but also the work of scientific and technological workers and officials from various countries.
It was only through the joint efforts of technicians that the construction was completed in such a short period of time.
Seeing Zhang Yi turning his attention to where he and the others were, all the dignitaries nodded to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi turned his head and gave a loud order: "The Ziweixing-1 space exploration ship will increase the engine output and take off."
Following Zhang Yi's order, the engines from all over the spacecraft were seen spraying blue flames toward the ground. Under the reaction force of the thrusters, the entire spacecraft began to slowly lift off. At the same time, Zhang Yi and the others
Even in the command podium at this time, you can still feel the vibration and even the sound produced when the spacecraft takes off.
Although there are not many differences between the moon and space, it is not completely different. After all, the moon also has gravity, so there is still a small amount of air on the moon.
According to research from various countries around the world in recent years, the average elemental abundance per cubic centimeter of known atoms in the lunar atmosphere during the day is as follows:
Argon: 40,000 Helium: 2,000-40,000 Sodium: 70 Potassium: 17 Hydrogen: less than 17
The total number of atoms per cubic centimeter is about 80,000, which is slightly higher than the number present in the atmosphere of Mercury. Although this is far more than the density of the solar wind, which has only a few protons per cubic centimeter, it is still almost a vacuum compared with the Earth's atmosphere.
However, even so, under such a powerful impact of the spacecraft, Zhang Yi and the others still felt the sound produced when the spacecraft took off in the console, not to mention that the ground could also transmit the sound to the console.
After the spacecraft increased the engine thrust, the entire spacecraft began to slowly leave the ground. Of course, since the spacecraft was still in the dock at this time, the rising speed was very slow. When the spacecraft flew out of the dock and rose to a certain
