Three hours later.

"Notice!"

"We are going to enter the Martian atmosphere!"

Looking at the height value on the screen in front of him, Andrew's heart beat violently!

Next, the legendary horror is seven minutes!

What is a horror seven minutes?

Simply put, it takes about seven minutes to complete this series of actions from the aircraft entering the Martian atmosphere and successfully landing on the surface of Mars.

From the beginning of entering the atmosphere, every second is filled with great horror!

It can be said that once there is any error, the Pathfinder landing cabin with a speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour will fall directly to the surface of Mars.

Just as Andrew finished speaking, a strong sense of vibration came from all over the landing cabin!

At a height of 125 kilometers, the landing cabin begins to cut into the atmosphere at a specific angle!

This step is crucial!

Once the cutting angle is too small, the landing compartment will not be able to enter the atmosphere. If the angle is too large, the landing compartment will be burned by excessive heating of the atmosphere!

Andrew clenched his teeth and stared at the screen in front of him.

After seeing the information that three landing cabins successfully entered the atmosphere one after another, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike the usual landing on Mars, because there are three landing cabins this time, the risks they face are several times greater!

If Pathfinder 2 fails, they will lose their return capsule and Mars capsule, which means they will be trapped on Mars.

If Pathfinder 3 fails, they will lose their vital supplies. Although they can choose to return directly and will not endanger their lives, the Pathfinder plan has also failed.

As for Pathfinder One's failure... that should be the easiest, at least they won't feel any pain.

...

As the login compartment successfully entered the atmosphere, the onboard computer quickly began to execute the next procedure.

"drop!"

"The flat wings are successfully unfolded! Current speed: Mach 3!"

As the prompt sounded, the trimming wings of the three landing cabins were unfolded at the same time, and the angle of attack began the trimming stage.

"Huh...huh..." Andrew's heart rate accelerated again, breathing in his spacesuit's oxygen.

Under the large amount of epinephrine secretion, Andrew's attention at this time reached the peak of his life.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Even in the extremely bumpy landing cabin, he could still clearly see every character that flashed quickly on the screen!

“Gratulations successfully!”

"Prepare to pop up the parachute!"

"Drip!Drip!Drip!Parameter pops up failed, switch to manual control!"

When he saw the line of characters in front of him, Andrew's eyes widened!

wtf?!

What a joke?!

You'll make such a fault for me at this time?!

Andrew kept cursing at the Nasa Space Administration, but his movements did not slow down at all, and he quickly grabbed the pull ring on the side!

Click!

Andrew's expression changed suddenly.

He didn't pull!

"Andrew! Turn on the parachute quickly!" Bruno, who was standing beside him, looked at the rapidly declining height value.

Andrew's face turned red and he pulled with all his strength!

Bang!

A strong pulling feeling came!

The parachute was successfully opened!

Seeing the rapid slowdown on the screen, Andrew breathed a sigh of relief.

"holyshit..." Bruno, who was standing beside him, looked at the console in front of him with a pale face, "Management will no longer believe in the Nasa Space Agency..."

Suddenly, Andrew realized a problem, his face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Bruno! Look at No. 2 and No. 3!"

If the parachutes of Pathfinder 2 and 3 did not pop up... Andrew could not imagine such consequences at all.

The moment he heard Andrew's words, Bruno only felt his heart beat a beat.

His lips trembled slightly and pressed the button on the console.

Seeing the characters flashing on the display screen, Bruno suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No...they're okay..."

The crisis was temporarily lifted, and Bruno joked palely: "Haha... Nasa seems to care more about those supplies..."

Bruno's hell joke naturally attracted the eyes of Andrew and Joey.

"drop!"

"The landing leg was successfully unfolded!"

"The distance measuring speed sensor starts working!"

As the prompt sounded, strings of data quickly passed on the screen.

Andrew glanced at the height data.

1.5km.

"We're almost here!" Andrew said softly with a slight look on his face.

As Andrew's voice fell, a line of characters flashed out again on the screen.

"The main engine is ready to start..."

“The main engine is turned on successfully!”

A strong vibration came from the soles of the feet, and correspondingly it was a stronger sense of slowing down!

After a few dozen seconds, the deceleration gradually disappeared, and the three landing compartments hovered over Mars with their main engines.

"Optical imaging starts!"

"Mobile obstacle avoidance is turned on!"

The landing cabin slowly adjusts its position in the air. When the altitude is slowly lowered to 100 meters, the laser three-dimensional imager is started.

With the help of optical and laser imaging, airborne computers quickly analyze Martian surface data.

After a few seconds, the computer found a relatively flat position with fewer rocks.

The computer accurately adjusts the operating power of the main engine and controls the landing compartment to slowly lower the height.

5m!

4m!

As the height on the screen continued to decrease, the three astronauts looked increasingly nervous.

This is the last step!

As a slight vibration came from the soles of his feet, a coveted character suddenly appeared on the screen.

【eed】

The landing cabin was quiet.

"We... succeeded?"

Andrew's voice rang in the team's radio channel: "How are the situations between No. 2 and No. 3?"

"Successfully landed!" Bruno confirmed in a brisk tone, "They are on our left, you can see through the porthole!"

Andrew quickly turned his head and looked towards the porthole on the left.

Sure enough, Pathfinder 2 and Pathfinder 3 stood quietly on the surface of a red Mars.

"Success! We've succeeded!" Joy, who was standing beside him excitedly unbuttoned his seat belt and threw himself into Bruno's arms.

"Wow~" Andrew, who was standing beside him, looked at the scene in front of him and whistled softly, "Be careful, everyone, there is surveillance here!"

Joey's face was slightly rosy, and he raised his head, glared at Andrew fiercely through the glass mask, and returned to his chair with a stinky face.

Andrew ignored the two of them, took a deep breath to calm down, and turned on the radio communication switch.

"Call Houston, here is Pathfinder One, we have successfully landed!"
Chapter completed!
