Chapter 399: Martian Landing Craft

The electromagnetic rifle plus the space version of the power armor is enough to fight an interstellar war.

Of course, ground warfare has to be small-scale.

However, if the user is a super soldier, it is enough to dismantle the house directly.

Obviously, there are no super soldiers in the human race, and even if there is, there is only Tang Chao.

And Tang Chao has never shown his combat effectiveness, so it is about the same as nothing.

The most important thing is that the preparation of these things is only for "outsiders" to see, and the scripts for contact with aliens are all prepared, and the scripts are still produced by the aliens themselves.

Hehe, who is reasoning with this?

Ignore it!

Tang Chao, who has the right of final interpretation, is the reason.

And there's a big guy on the Spore.

No matter how powerful the power armor and electromagnetic rifle are, it is also individual equipment, at most it is a little more sci-fi individual equipment than the current technology, after all, it is still individual equipment.

In order to cope with ......

Oh no, for testing, Tang Chao added a ...... to the Spore Two electromagnetic cannons and two laser cannons!

Ahem, after all, the spaceship is so big, and there is a circular simulated gravity cabin in the middle, and a cannon can't take care of anything at all, so Tang Chao installed two laser cannons on both sides of the comprehensive experimental cabin to deal with the space sector in front of the rotating cabin.

Outside the comprehensive experimental cabin at the back, two electromagnetic guns were installed, which were installed in the non-pressurized cargo compartment.

The two electromagnetic cannons are a little more flexible than the laser cannons, as they are mounted on a robotic arm that rotates the space sector behind the simulated gravity capsule.

Usually folded and stored in the front compartment with the robotic arm, when it is time to use, you can use it by opening the hatch directly.

It's just that because the spacecraft is currently powered by solar panels, the power consumption agreement must be strictly implemented when firing, otherwise the spacecraft may directly "turn off".

It wouldn't be good if there was a ship-wide power outage.

If you want to use it at full power, just like you want to use a "super-accelerator" ion engine at full power, you need a nuclear fusion device.

The reason why Tang Chao did this was because he had no choice.

Human beings in space, especially after leaving the earth's orbit, really have no attack ability at all, and equipping this spacecraft with weapons is just a precaution.

And this spacecraft will not exist for a short time, and then it will participate in the exploration of various planets in the solar system, even if the astronauts are not allowed to land, it is good to conduct some research on the planet in orbit "close distance".

With such a big ship, astronauts, and scientific research equipment, it is simply not too convenient to stop in orbit and conduct research on the planet!

If this thing encounters any sudden enemy when studying in orbit, it can be regarded as a "battleship" with a platoon.

Even if you can't beat the enemy, the enemy will always be more cautious when he sees the muzzle.

The most important thing is that there is a time difference, and sending the news back is enough for Tang Chao to summon the fleet!

Don't leave space at that time, and the enemy will drive straight in.

Speaking of the fleet, the construction of the secret base on the other side of the moon is in full swing, but it is still too early to expect it to leave the fleet, so when he returns this time, he will have to go to Kanxing to have a look.

Not fully prepared, he was never very sure.

Let's not talk about what you don't use, you have to prepare anyway.

Speaking of training, they have 10 astronauts this time, so Tang Chao prepared 12 power armors, that is, these spacesuits, and two more for backup.

The process of everyone's proficiency is also very smooth, just like the previous training of astronauts to the moon, these astronauts have been trained with illusions, including the use of spacesuits, which are also different in appearance and the same in operation.

This power armor is similar to a spacesuit, it is also used by the wearer first, and then the power system follows the "force", so it does not take long to train to become proficient.

There were also quite a few firearms, but only four people were authorized to use them.

Two astronauts from the Navigator company and two astronauts from the national team.

The navigator company has selected two security personnel who have been trained for a long time, and the astronauts of the national team, two of the four people are scientific researchers, and two are traditional astronauts, that is, from the Air Force.

As an Air Force, they naturally had firearms training.

The use of electromagnetic rifles is not complicated, explain it to them and they will understand.

Once you're proficient in Martian gravity, Martian overalls, and the weapons you might use, it's time to familiarize yourself with the Martian landing craft.

The Mars landing craft is much larger than the Lunar spacecraft, with a diameter of 5 meters for the lunar landing craft and 7 meters for the fireboard.

The diameter is large and the length is larger, reaching 17 meters, while the length of the waiting moon ship is only 12 meters.

If there is a gap in size, then there will naturally be a gap in tonnage, so they are 60 tons and 40 tons, and the contrast is very obvious.

But in fact, the Mars landing craft is not much heavier than the Luna Run, and it is heavier because it carries more fuel.

And unlike the Luna Launcher, which is a pressurized chamber and the fuel tank and engine are on the outer bulkhead, the fuel tank of the Mars landing craft is more traditional, located under the aircraft, and it is the kind of large tank.

If the fuel is underneath, the astronauts will not be able to "open the door and lift the spacecraft under their feet", and will need to climb up and down the stairs.

Its manned compartment is 7 meters high, and the cargo compartment is 4 meters high, so even from the cargo compartment down to the ground, it is two stories high.

However, the two Martian landing ships do not need to climb up and down outside, but on the inside.

At the side of the cargo compartment there is a staircase connecting the upper and lower compartments, the upper opening hatch is the manned compartment, and the lower opening hatch is the fuel tank passage.

Yes, put a small cylinder directly in the cylindrical fuel tank, and then make a ladder here, and the astronauts can climb directly from it and land on the surface of Mars.

In this way, the pressurized warehouse can be turned into an "airlock cabin", and the pipes of the climbing ladder can be used as a "cleaning channel".

Inhalation of lunar soil is harmful to humans, and inhalation of Martian dust is naturally equally harmful, so they cannot bring Martian dust into the manned module.

Thus, the process of getting in and out of the ship comes.

The crawling pipe has a strong blowing and vacuuming device, and the height of the two-story building, the astronauts can blow the wind and dust vigorously when climbing the ladder, and the whole body must move when climbing the ladder, and there will be no dead ends, and the dust can be removed very cleanly.

When everyone climbs to the pressurized cargo compartment, and then closes the hatch of the descending passage, the pressurized cabin can be pressurized, and the astronauts can leave the spacesuit, and finally climb the stairs cleanly to enter the manned cabin.

It was more than enough for ten people in the manned cabin, and it was in a state of being dressed in a powered spacesuit.

Since this is their first time on Mars, they will have to wear powered spacesuits.

If you are sure that landing on Mars is no problem, and the probability of danger in landing is extremely low, then you can land in a thin in-cabin pressurized spacesuit, or even just in-cabin overalls.

Because this time people are wearing powered spacesuits and sitting in the manned cabin, there will be a lot more space in the cargo compartment that originally held the power spacesuits, which is just right for Mars scooters.

With a diameter of 7 meters and a height of 4 meters, a large, pressurized vehicle large enough to fit ten people cannot be fitted with spontaneous combustion, but it is still possible to install a few more simple Martian scooters.

After mastering this, they finally reached the orbit of Mars.

Red Mars, humanity has finally reached its space orbit in person!
