In the outer space of Mars, the Star Rover is slowing down.
Zheng Yuan was lying on his seat, feeling the pressure caused by the deceleration of the spacecraft, but his eyes were looking at the Mars outside the window.
Mars, the fourth closest planet to the sun, is an Earth-like planet.
In ancient Europe, it was called Mars, the god of war in ancient Roman mythology, and was also called the Red Planet. In our ancient times, because of its constant changes in position and brightness, we call it Yinghuo.
Yinghuo often means bad things. Whenever ancient star officials saw Mars, they would think that something bad was going to happen.
In fact, this is something without any scientific basis.
With the advancement of science and technology, people's understanding of Mars is getting deeper and deeper, and they know that it is just an ordinary planet in the solar system, and there is not much specialness about it.
At this moment, we are very close to Mars, and everything on Mars can be clearly seen with the naked eye.
The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than the Earth's atmosphere, only 1% of the density of the Earth's atmosphere. It is very dry, with low temperatures and large temperature differences.
Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, everything on Mars has been revealed to everyone's eyes.
The red earth and the extremely tall mountains protrude incomparably, as if they are piercing directly into space. That is Mount Olympus, which is more than 20,000 meters high, nearly three times as high as Mount Everest.
There is also the longest and largest canyon in the solar system, which is 4,000 kilometers long and 7 kilometers deep at its deepest point. This is the Mariner Canyon on Mars.
There is also the vast and huge plain area in the north of Mars, which is extremely vast. Here, you can even see the terrifying hurricanes raging with the naked eye. The hurricanes here can reach more than 20 terrifying levels, covering the sky and the sun.
Everywhere, everything was swept clean.
The southern part of Mars is an ancient plateau area with undulating and uneven terrain, with mountains and canyons crisscrossing it, and huge craters and pits everywhere.
"Please note that the Star is about to be captured by the gravity of Mars. Please prepare for all units."
The broadcast on the Xingchen pulled Zheng Yuan's eyes back. As the broadcast sounded, everyone on the ship became slightly nervous. Whether the Xingchen could be captured by the gravity of Mars was a very critical step.
With the huge mass of the Star, if it is not captured by the gravity of Mars, it will be in trouble. It will take a lot of time and fuel to turn around in the starry sky.
But this worry is obviously unnecessary, because the speed of the Star has slowed down enough to be captured by the gravity of Mars. As the Star gets closer and closer to Mars, a gravitational force pulls over and captures the Star in one fell swoop.
, under the influence of huge gravity, the Star began to rotate around Mars and officially entered the orbit of Mars.
"Successfully entered Mars orbit!"
Soon, the announcement sounded again, and everyone on the ship secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a pity that Xinghai Technology is not allowed to study nuclear power. If the Star is equipped with nuclear power, we don't have to worry about energy issues."
Zheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and sighed secretly in his heart.
But he soon returned his energy to the Mars in front of him.
"Launch a satellite chain and build a Mars communication and positioning system!"
Jiang Peng's eyes were calm and he strictly followed the steps laid out by the scientists.
Following his order, a hatch on the spacecraft opened, and satellites were quickly launched from the hatch like dumplings.
These satellites formed a long chain, and then began to rapidly change orbits in space, quickly covering the entire Martian space, and a large amount of information also began to be quickly transmitted to the Star.
The virtual machine worn by Zheng Yuan was connected to the network on the Star in real time. With the proliferation and distribution of a large number of satellites, a space surveillance map of Mars was quickly formed and played in Zheng Yuan's mind.
Launching satellites was naturally a troublesome matter in the past, requiring the use of rockets to send satellites into space.
But now it has become extremely simple to launch satellites. With anti-gravity technology, it has become very easy to travel to and from space, and the launch of satellites has also become extremely simple.
At the same time, the cost of launch, production cost, etc. are also greatly reduced.
Xinghai Technology has its own global positioning, navigation and communication system on this side of the earth. It not only provides accurate positioning, navigation and communication for people in its own company, but also provides services for many of the company's products.
For example, the positioning, navigation and communication used by anti-gravity aircraft around the world are provided by Xinghai Technology. The positioning and communication of virtual machines are also provided by Xinghai Technology.
Developing such a global positioning and navigation system is not difficult at all, and it does not have much technical content. Satellites now feel like they have become disposable consumables.
The Star carries a large number of satellites. It will not only build a positioning, navigation and communication system covering the entire Mars here, but will also launch a large number of satellites to the asteroid belt, Jupiter and other areas.
Through the exploration of these satellites, Xinghai Technology can obtain a large amount of first-hand information and gain an understanding of the asteroid belt, Jupiter, etc.
In fact, scientists from the Xinghai Institute of Science and Technology or the National Academy of Sciences are launching a large number of probes, satellites, etc. to various regions of the solar system.
The craziest one among them is the Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute. Because Liu Yuan, the boss, is willing and rich and has sufficient funds, the Xinghai Science Research Institute and the Astronomical Science Institute launch a large number of rockets into the starry sky and the universe every year.
detectors and satellites.
These detectors and satellites actually don't cost much money to manufacture, and they are simple and easy to launch. Generally speaking, they cost much less than before, and they can be built at a loss.
In addition, several large space telescopes have been built in space, which are many times more powerful than the previous Hubble. They are specially used to observe the situation in the interstellar universe, search for black holes, traces of extraterrestrial civilizations, etc.
Although the time was short, with the support of these conditions, the Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy also achieved a large number of breakthroughs and results, and successively released a large number of shocking photos and information of the starry sky and the universe.
Naturally, we were fully prepared for our scientific expedition to Mars this time. We brought a large number of satellites, detectors, unmanned detectors, anti-gravity detectors, automatic robots, etc. with us.
At this moment, the Starlink satellites continued to spread in the outer space of Mars, and soon covered the entire Mars.
At the same time, anti-gravity unmanned probes began to be continuously launched to Mars, and began to enter Mars in advance to prepare for the next Mars landing.
The probe continues to detect Mars, and all kinds of information quickly gathers into the Star and is also passed to the virtual machines of the scientists.
While the scientists were looking at Mars, they were also quickly analyzing the relevant data passed by the virtual machine in their minds, preparing for the next Mars scientific expedition.
Aboard the Star, scientists and engineers began to get busy.
There are already astronauts in the warehouse where the anti-gravity aircraft is placed. The scientists are making preparations and are waiting for Zheng Yuan's order so that they can immediately fly the anti-gravity aircraft to Mars.
"Didi~Didi~"
A large amount of information kept pouring into my mind. The mass, size, surface area of Mars, the mass of the two satellites, autobiography, revolution, temperature of the surface of Mars, landforms, etc., a large amount of information quickly gathered.
Scientific detection methods are not only accurate, but also very fast.
In a very short period of time, a lot of information about Mars was also gathered on the Xingchen and was also launched back to the Earth.
Here on Earth, scientists are also anxiously waiting for news about the Star, and at the same time participating in the scientific expedition to Mars in real time.
As long as there are any major discoveries on Mars, scientists on Earth can quickly analyze the relevant situations and give corresponding judgments and suggestions.
"The density of Mars' atmosphere is too low, only 1% of the density of our Earth's atmosphere, and it is still full of carbon dioxide. However, huge dry ice areas have been found in the north and south poles of Mars. There may be water at the bottom of these dry ice areas.
The presence."
"Mars's satellites Phobos and Deimos are both very small in mass and irregular in shape. Compared with the moon, they are far different. We will immediately launch probes to conduct detailed exploration of Phobos and Deimos. Maybe these two
There are many precious resources on the planet."
"Olympus Mons on Mars is really high, more than 20,000 meters tall. If it were placed on Earth, Mount Everest would be the younger brother. This shows that Mars itself has low mass and insufficient gravity, so
Such high mountains are formed because there is no water on Mars. If it were covered with water like the Earth, the height would not be too high based on sea level."
"These traces on Mars are similar to lakes and rivers. Maybe Mars was really filled with water hundreds of millions of years ago, and there may also be a lot of life."
Scientists harvest large amounts of information and analyze this information quickly.
At the same time, the hatch on the Star slowly opened, and anti-gravity vehicles flew out one after another, flying straight towards Mars.
These anti-gravity vehicles carry teams of astronauts, scientists, and engineers who are going to land on Mars to explore the planet for themselves.
"Oh, Mars, here we come."
Inside the anti-gravity vehicles, the team members were very excited. They would be the first people to land on Mars. As for who would be the first to land on Mars, it would depend on who acted faster.
Some.
PS: Some research shows that Mars was a planet with life like the Earth more than a billion years ago~
