(For the convenience of everyone to read, the occurrence of the Blue Star is equivalent to the Earth, you know.) ）

Mars' rotation period is almost the same as that of Earth, at 24 hours and 37 minutes of Earth time.

Half an hour has passed since landing on the surface of Mars.

The resource module was unable to send any messages to NASA due to communication failures, and Chiesa and B did not transmit any messages to NASA because they were checking the landing module.

Bradward continued to check the condition of the landing module, and Chiesa put on an extravehicular spacesuit and stepped out of the landing module and stepped firmly on the Martian soil.

Mars' gravitational pull is only 37.5% of Earth's, so Chiesa is a little uncomfortable.

It was dusk in the Eden region of Mars, and the three peaks high above had blocked the sun, and Chiesa could not see the sun, but could feel the dark orange afterglow of the sun.

Even if I have fantasized about such a scenery countless times, it is still quite shocking to see it with my own eyes.

It's the end times, it's the despair. The majestic mountains add to the dreading sensation of this sight.

The ground is gravel and dust, and the landscape is similar to the earth but there is no life.

Reality tells Chiesa that this is Mars, a distant Mars! It is a Mars without any life! If you can't find the resource capsule, you will definitely die!

Even if the earth immediately launches a rocket to transport supplies here, it will take more than half a year to reach Mars, and it will be too late.

Chiesa's heart suddenly became flustered, and he gasped and took a few steps forward, trying to find the resource pod.

Everywhere there is the same desolate view, there are no resource pods.

After walking a few hundred meters, he was completely desperate.

Because there is a bottomless abyss in front of him, there is a high chance that the resource compartment will fall off and fall in.

Even on Earth, with helicopters and ropes, such an abyss is impossible for humans to explore, and there are no tools on Mars, so how can they go down? And going down does not necessarily prove that the resource module is inside.

Chiesa was in a hurry, and a heavy feeling of powerlessness and tremor hit him.

He looked at the sky, hoping to see his home, the Earth.

It's a pity that nothing can be seen.

The Earth is far away, and even though its radius is much larger than that of Mars, it is only a small bright spot when the view from Mars is at its best.

Chiesa hurried back to the landing capsule, from which he took out the flag of the United States and planted it on the ground, as if this flag could make Chiesa feel at home.

Chiesa felt a strong desire to cry, but at the thought of Bradward, who was younger than him, in the landing capsule, he took a deep breath and recovered his mind.

Chiesa's only hope is that NASA will find a way to find the resource module, preferably not far from here, and they will be able to find it before the spacesuit runs out of oxygen.

Bradward has finished inspecting the landing capsule, and the condition is fine.

Bradward: "The connection between the two cabins is badly damaged, the shell is damaged, everything else is fine. There are no problems with communication and life control systems. ”

Chiesa: "How much more food do we have?"

The resource module is a long-term food, and the landing module only has short-term mission food.

Bradward: "I calculated that if we save food, we can last two months. Do not exercise, do not do tasks, in order to ensure vital signs, save food. ”

Chiesa laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I now admire Pangu Technology's lunar ecological module, where food and drinking water can generate and circulate on their own. If we had an eco-pod, we would be able to survive even in the current situation. ”

Bradward was still calm, and he said, "I'm going to send the situation here to NASA headquarters now and ask for their help." ”

Chiesa shook his head and said, "It's not help, it's rescue! ”

Chiesa sat down in front of the landing module's console and recorded a 20-second video into the camera.

Chiesa said: "Headquarters, this is the USS Adam. The situation of the landing module has been sent a minute early, I have no food, I can only hold out for two months, we hope to be rescued! I hope to be able to use the Martian satellite to find the resource module. ”

After recording the video, Chiesa and B couldn't wait for death here, and they made a plan to immediately split up to find the resource module.

……

Washington, NASA headquarters, celebration and revelry are followed by waiting.

Half an hour after receiving the information about the Mars landing, the headquarters did not receive any photos and videos of the landing.

The mood has changed somewhat, and NASA headquarters has urgently called Adam, hoping to get a reply.

Jim forced his composure and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be too anxious, this is a communication delay, be patient, we will receive good news, Chiesa and Bradward have prepared New Year's gifts for us." ”

Jim continued to drink champagne.

After another half an hour, the technician of the information monitoring platform said: "The information is coming! The information is coming!"

On the big screen, information about the landing site of the USS Adam appeared.

This place, known to everyone as the Garden of Eden, is a valley about three hundred kilometers away from the predetermined landing site.

And that's not even the worst news, photos and text reports from the scene have also been transmitted.

The resource module was detached due to the impact, and the valley location was unable to initiate the return procedure.

Jim, like everyone else, felt a pound in his heart. Everyone knows what the loss of the resource module means, it means death, it means that NASA headquarters will watch the death of two astronauts, it means the failure of the Mars landing program.

Five minutes later, Chiesa's distress video was also transmitted, which confirmed the authenticity of the data just now.

Jim slumped in his seat.

"How far is InSight from Adam?" Jim immediately activated emergency mode and suspended any news to the media.

"Three hundred and twenty kilometers. ”

"Call the landing footage taken by the Mars Discoverer satellite, analyze the location where the resource module may be lost, and immediately adjust the Discoverer to the place of the incident to find the resource module. ”

"Without a resource module, relying on the mission food of the landing module, they will not survive for more than two months!"

When the media of the United States are still comparing Xia Guo's aerospace with their own aerospace, celebrating the success of the United States landing on Mars.

When the people of the United States regained their self-confidence again, believing that their technology was still the first in the world, far surpassing the Xia country, NASA ended the celebration not long ago and started an emergency rescue mission.

If the resource pod is not found, the celebration will soon be turned into a memorial service.

Xiao Ming, Xu Limin and others are also more concerned about the landing of the United States on Mars.

It has been more than half a day since the landing time, and NASA has not released the landing picture and the picture of the astronauts stepping on Martian soil, which makes Xu Limin a little suspicious.

"What happened after so long without announcing the news?

Xiao Ming said: "Maybe they are processing the pictures, and they don't want more people to get more detailed information about Mars and the secrets of their probes from the landing map." ”

After some searching, the Mars moon Discoverer left by the United States gave back the cruel facts.
