On January 7, in orbit around Mars, the Enterprise spacecraft, which had been flying for more than four months, finally arrived here.

The experience along the way can be described as wonderful, first set off alone with the hope of all mankind, then flew for a while and learned that the Tianxia joint navigator also had a Mars landing plan, and then saw the sparkling Spore of the cow, and finally saw the Spore landing on Mars for so much time by itself.

And they themselves are not calm all the way, the Enterprise is a rushing ship after all, and it didn't feel anything when it first set off, but after a long time, its disadvantage of rushing work appeared.

The power of some lines is miscalculated by energy level, so much so that some lines are often blown out and then need to be replaced by astronauts.

Actually, this is not a big deal, the ship can continue to fly, as long as the wires are available.

But the key is that the wires are not available, they are on the space route far from the earth, everything can only be done on their own, and there will not be the slightest supply in a short time.

So they can't do it after replacing a few waves of spare wires, and they can only reduce the power supply energy level and let the equipment make do with it.

Fortunately, they are manned spacecraft, and some operations can be replaced by humans, even if the degree of automation is a little weaker, they can fly to Mars.

It's just that the intelligence of the spacecraft has degraded to the time of the moon landing a few decades ago.

This is a minor problem, but the bigger problem is that the spacecraft did not have the required level of radiation protection, so that the astronauts were exposed to 28% more radiation than planned during several months of space flight.

Fortunately, these astronauts will not die immediately, and Merrican may have promised that there will be many benefits after returning, plus all the astronauts this time are from the military, so they have the spirit of the first generation of astronauts and can continue to carry on the mission.

However, every day after the mission, every time Tianxia and the Navigator officially released a video, the astronauts on the Enterprise would have a heartache.

Because these videos are what they envisioned, they were supposed to do and show them to the world.

It would have been an honor for them.

It was in one way and another that they finally reached the orbit of Mars.

The landing site this time is more special, it is directly next to the alien camp, there is the previous Tianxia team's pathfinder, they also know the aliens' attitude towards humans, so they are much bolder.

The alien camp is the territory of the aliens, so they will not land directly in the alien camp, but next to it, where it is shown in the video of the Tianxia team returning to the earth, the terrain is clear, they don't even need to explore in advance, they can land directly!

Fortunately, it was the territory of the aliens, and they restrained it a little, if this was occupied by a small country on Earth, they would dare to directly land the landing module in this camp, and then announce that this was their own territory.

Dare to resist, hehe.

And this wave landed without detecting in advance, which can be regarded as they crossing the river by touching Tianxia.

Don't say it, crossing the river with the exploration of the predecessors is really cool!

After checking that the landing module was fine, they began to work on the landing, but it was a little different from the situation they had promised before they were sent, and the number of people changed.

The pre-departure pattern was to leave two people on the track, then four people landed, and now it has become four people on the track and two people landed.

There was no way, there were a few slapstick operations on the Earth Command Center before, to make them accelerate, so they lost the small head cone in front of them, reduced the mass, and then consumed some more "Starship" fuel.

Originally, they were not satisfied, and they wanted them to consume fuel, but they were stopped by the aerospace engineers crying, but they still made the spacecraft turn in a circle, turned the landing module to the back, and let it spray it, adding a loss of speed.

Because of the early consumption of fuel, the load capacity of the landing module decreased rapidly, and finally the landing module had to reduce the load and became a two-person landing.

These two people, one of the Space Force and the other of the Army, are both very combative.

There is a big difference between Merriken and Tianxia, for Tianxia, war is the last resort, and peace and cooperation are the main thing, while for Merriken, the war cannot be fought before it will come to the negotiating table and carry out some "peace cooperation".

The order given to the astronauts aboard the Enterprise is also clear: until the last minute, they will never give up the means of force.

Of course, two against four, and two whiteboard spacesuits and whiteboard rifles against four green power armor and green electromagnetic rifles, they really can't beat the hard steel on the front, so their strategy is to sneak attack.

If the aliens honestly follow them back to Earth, that's fine, if Tianxia's team stops them, then they will let Tianxia's team relax their vigilance against them first as humans, and then carry out a sneak attack.

But that's all later, and there are also big troubles in the field operation, so what they have to do now is to land on Mars, and how they act will have to be adjusted according to the progress of specific things.

"I wish you success!"

The astronauts who stayed behind in the spacecraft blessed him.

"Rest assured, wait for the good news of our victory!"

The two landers were confident.

Of course, I was full of confidence, and the landing sites were all good reconnaissance places, and the ground situation was clear, which was much better than the "blind landing" situation of the first landing.

If this landing is not successful, then they are not Merrican.

Through the thin atmosphere, like the original navigator Mars landing craft, it landed steadily to the landing site.

Just a hundred meters away from the alien camp, in a very flat area, Merriken's Mars landing module landed on it.

As soon as the two climbed the stairs from the manned capsule to the surface of Mars, they made a great declaration.

Although they are the second group of people to set foot on Mars, looking at the posture, it seems as if they are the first ones.

Just like their role in the European theater of World War II, those who don't know think that the Star-Spangled Banner was planted first on the Capitol.

Oh, and already a lot of people believe it?

That's fine, let them believe it, it's hard to have a sweet dream, don't bother.

And there is a very important message in this declaration, that is, from here to the landing site, the surrounding area belongs to Merrican.

Of course, the reason Merrican used was that they wanted to enclose a place to conduct scientific research experiments, and they were afraid that others would have a vicious impact on their experiments after entering the experimental site, so they ...... It's best for others not to come.

But what's more, they are next to the alien camp, and they are landing between the Mars base and the alien base in Tianxia, and they don't give a clear enclosure range, just say "the piece of the landing site".

The alien camp must have gone out alone, after all, it belonged to aliens, not earthlings.

After this was done, they put down the simple folding Mars scooter hanging on the landing module, just like the original simple folding lunar scooter.

It was supposed to hang two, but in order to reduce weight, the other one was thrown away.

It just so happens that there are two fewer landers, and there is no problem with reducing one.

According to the information they got, the aliens were invited by the Tianxia people to be guests again, so they had to get involved.

But before they go, they have to go around the alien camp to see if there are any "rags" that can be picked up, especially those on the road, and pick them up quickly, otherwise it will be bad to trip the aliens in and out.
