On Xia Guo's Internet, netizens are fiercely discussing this success.

Xiao Ming and Xu Limin also opened a bottle of Wuliangye in the control room, and celebrated the success of the experiment with the technicians.

The price of Wuliangye is not as good as Moutai, but Xiao Ming, like Xu Limin, prefers strong flavor liquor.

"This is really an aristocratic experiment!" Xu Limin sighed: "With this bang, hundreds of millions of soft sister coins will be gone, and this experiment is to burn money." ”

Deuterium tritium is the cheapest material in nuclear fusion, but it is also the rarest and most expensive material in the world.

These raw materials are not used for fusion power generation, but for experiments.

"The symbolism is greater than the actual meaning, and we need better materials, such as the Moon's helium-three. Xiao Ming drained the liquor in the cup, "Deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion is only the first generation of nuclear fusion, to produce neutrons, although it is attracted by our gravitational waves and can prolong the use of the device, but after all, it is not the fusion method we need." Helium-3 and helium-3 fusion, which do not produce neutrons, are what we are after.

Xu Limin said: "We have already docked with the Lunar Exploration Center, and the helium-3 retrieved from the moon this time will be given priority to us." According to our plan, the next step is the fusion high-thrust engine. ”

The success of the controlled fusion engine means that the time it takes for humans to travel to and from the moon will be greatly reduced, and the time it takes to industrially exploit the moon's helium-3 resources will not be much different from the time it takes to exploit the resources of the terrestrial deserts, and even the time to mine resources on the moon will be shorter and the cost will be lower.

Pangu Technology will form a good energy circulation system.

Collecting resources from the moon, the moon's helium-3 resources can send the earth's vehicles far and continuously to the deep space of the universe.

Xu Limin has many rocket experts in his hands, and the development of a controllable nuclear fusion engine is not far away, or even can be completed in a short period of time.

In fact, the principle of the nuclear fusion engine is very intuitive, the huge energy generated by fusion ejects ions to produce thrust.

Pangu Technology officially established the project and put the controllable nuclear fusion engine technology into research and development, and the new generation of giant high-thrust rocket Poseidon 1, which cost up to 20 billion meters of knives developed by Firefly Company in the United States, is ready at the launch site in Houston.

June is the best window to launch Adam, when the distance between the Earth and Mars is the closest, coupled with the acceleration of the Moon's gravity, the time from Earth to Mars will be shortened to 6 months, while the last time InSight flew to Mars took 6 months and 21 days, and the past probes took longer, ranging from two years to one year.

Astronauts Bradward and Chiesa waited for their final orders as they waited for their final orders, and they said their final goodbyes.

"This trip is a year and two months, and I'm sure I'll be here next year to give you interviews, and I'll be sharing what I've seen about Mars," Chiesa said in front of the media. ”

After Chiesa saluted, he and Bradward walked out of the departure room and boarded the elevator, where they would enter the Adam and wait for the final launch.

"Hero!"

"You're our hero!

"Good luck with your journey!"

The media and the public waved excitedly and enthusiastically to the two.

At ten o'clock in the morning Houston time, the Poseidon 1 high-thrust rocket was ignited.

After a powerful roar, Poseidon 1 was successfully launched under the witness of the whole world.

A few hours later, the Adam entered the travel orbit and a long journey awaited.

NASA Center, under the lens of the world's most famous media, Jim said proudly: "Our launch was very successful! A successful launch means that our plan to land on Mars is one-third complete, and the remaining two-thirds is the journey and landing." ”

"Our powerful technology will ensure the success of our landing on Mars!"

Xiao Ming and Zheng Xuanyu stayed at home and watched the replay of the Adam launch the next day.

Zheng Xuanyu put a piece of potato chips in Xiao Ming's mouth, and Xiao Ming chewed the potato chips.

After the anti-gravity extension technology is on the right track, Xiao Ming's whole person is much easier, he no longer has to work overtime in the company every day to catch up with the experiment, but can spend a few days at home with Zheng Xuanyu and go on vacation.

"The people of the United States have spent their money. After Zheng Xuanyu learned that the cost of a rocket was as high as 20 billion meters, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"If it succeeds, the benefits will be more than just 20 billion meters. Xiao Ming looked at Zheng Xuanyu and said, "Otherwise, neither of us will go to the company in the future, how comfortable it is to stay at home like this." ”

Zheng Xuanyu snorted and said, "Don't let Sister Qi hear this, you don't have to be angry." ”

"I'm really going to tell her. Xiao Ming used the dragonfly adaptive camera to take a selfie of himself and Zheng Xuanyu at home, and then transmitted it to Gao Siqi.

Xiao Ming and Zheng Xuanyu are crazy about sprinkling dog food here, and poor Gao Siqi is still working hard in the office.

After seeing the photo, Gao Siqi's whole person was not good.

"Yuyu, are you going to me off to death? How long is the holiday over, hurry back to work. ”

Xiao Ming said: "I gave her a holiday. ”

"Then when are you going to give me a holiday?" Gao Siqi was ten thousand dissatisfied.

Jokes aside, Zheng Xuanyu still has to go back to work after the holiday.

But some people may not be able to go back to work.

Half a year later, December 26, 2026, Houston time, is a day to be remembered by all mankind.

After half a year of travel, the Adam landed inside the canyon three hundred kilometers away from the intended landing site.

At the landing site, there is the InSight rover to assist the astronauts in landing, but there is nothing inside the canyon.

Even so, the people of the United States excitedly called the landing site the Garden of Eden, which meant that humans had reached the Martian site for the first time.

There are two main reasons why there is a 300-kilometer error between the landing site and the preset site.

One is a not big Martian storm, Mars is different from the Moon, Mars has an atmosphere, and the atmosphere has a climate, and of course there will be storms.

In order to avoid the storm, the Adam had to re-select its position.

The second reason is communication issues.

Without quantum communication, Adam has an average of 10 minutes of information from Mars to Earth, and 20 minutes of information back and forth.

Such a long communication time is too long for the fleeting landing window.

Adam only has to start the emergency automatic login system that is set, but unfortunately Adam does not have a super beginning, and the location selected by the automatic login system is not good.

Of course, worse is yet to come.
