Chapter 400: Landing on Mars

"Around the alien base, we have seven predetermined landing sites."

"Site 1 is flat, with no shelter around it, and the longest sunlight of the seven landing sites, but no shallow groundwater has been detected, and the probability of groundwater at a deeper level is estimated to be 23%, with a short-term landing option."

"There is a mountain next to the No. 2 site, which has a certain resistance to sandstorms, but the corresponding sunshine time is reduced, and there is also no shallow groundwater, but the possibility of deep groundwater is 78%, and long-term bases can be considered."

"There is also a mountain next to Site 3, where the probe detected a cave or lava pipe, and if a long-term base is built there, it can have a high degree of resistance to cosmic radiation and solar storms, but unfortunately it is extremely arid, and even the possibility of deep groundwater is very small."

"Site 4 is mountainous and flat, but based on the detection of the probe, it is known that there is a shallow bottom lake there with a high concentration of brine......"

By the time Spore flew to Mars, the site for the landing had already been chosen.

There are orbital probes that have been launched before, so the navigator is fairly knowledgeable about the latest situation on Mars.

Because their mission is related to aliens, the landing site cannot be too far from the alien's location.

For such a long time, the aliens didn't seem to have any intention of moving, and they had been wandering around the initial landing site, so according to the range of aliens' activities, several more suitable landing sites were selected in the surrounding area.

The final confirmation of the landing site is only the landing site of this mission, not the final base construction site, after all, you can know that their needs are different when you hear the name.

Of course, if you can choose a suitable landing site for multiple tasks, it will naturally be more, after all, the cost of space exploration is too high, and if you can complete multiple tasks at once, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

It's a pity, it doesn't seem to work this time, choose to choose, contact with aliens is a temporary mission, so the flat terrain of the No. 1 location is the most suitable.

Not only is there a flat landing ground, but even the route to the alien drop site is extremely flat, with only a hill in the middle that blocks the two places, which is very suitable for driving around.

Manned vehicles in the atmosphere of Mars are not so easy to manufacture, and even if they do, they can't bring a few with them in their current situation, so it is easier and more convenient to drive.

The Spore orbited around Mars at a uniform speed, Tang Chao looked at the satellite image of the No. 1 landing site displayed on the big screen and nodded, "Then release a landing probe and take a closer look at the landing site. ”

"Understood."

The cockpit of the spacecraft can control the entire spaceship, even if the non-pressurized warehouse is outside the comprehensive experimental cabin at the back, here a few buttons can complete the overall release operation, unless something goes wrong, you need to go to the rear for manual release.

The operator performed the operation, the unpressurized compartment opened, and the fixture was gently sent out, releasing a Mars lander.

This is the first time that Spore has released equipment in Martian orbit, after all, the Navigator has launched many probes here before, and the probes can relay information to each other, and they don't even need to relay satellites, so the general orbital exploration equipment does not need to be released again.

The landing probe quickly landed towards the intended location, and as it got closer to the landing point, the images sent back by the probe began to differ from the satellite images and became clearer and clearer.

Thirty meters above the landing site, the probe entered the hovering stage, and because it was hovering, the shooting distance remained unchanged, so the photos taken were clear.

The probe did not fly directly from Earth, so it carried a lot of landing fuel, which allowed it to hover a little longer at 30 meters.

Not only can you see if there is a crater at the landing site and move it a little to avoid it, but it can also go around the landing site and probe more area in the air at a height of 30 meters, marking the best landing location.

After it landed smoothly, it used the entity collision equipment to explore the surrounding geological structure, and found that it was surrounded by solid solid ground, with only a layer of floating soil on the surface, and there was nothing to collapse or crack when pressed, so it began to send signals to guide the landing craft to land.

Receiving this signal, the people in the spaceship all smiled, and Tang Chao also hooked the corners of his mouth, "Okay, let's go!" ”

With Tang Chao taking the lead, everyone in the cockpit got up one after another, then took two steps to turn off the electromagnetic boots, and floated to the entrance and exit of the passage with a hard kick.

In this landing, six people will go to Mars in a landing craft, and four people will stay on the spacecraft to take care of them.

Four of the six people who landed were equipped with guns, Tang Chao was a "diplomatic ambassador" this time, and it was impossible for him to carry a gun to negotiate with aliens.

Once they had crossed the ship's pivot to reach the node bay, they redirected themselves towards the power armor that was fixed to the "floor" and had the back armor open.

The node module on the Spore is not the node module on the small space station before, it is also 12 meters in diameter, in addition to a few airlock cabins with interfaces, the middle part itself is an equipment cabin, where astronauts can wear spacesuits, space maneuvering devices, safety ropes, etc.

Tang Chao took the lead, and for the first time, his feet stepped into the mechanical feet of the power armor, and his feet were fixed with two "clicks".

Then as soon as the legs and waist were forced, the whole person was pasted into the power armor, the hands were put into the mechanical hand, the five-finger fingerprints touched the gloves for internal testing, and the wrists were also fixed.

Finally, he drilled his head into the helmet and he was ready.

"Power Suit 001 Activated!"

"The voiceprint and fingerprint verification are passed, the protective clothing is activated, and the armor is closed."

"Click~"

The others were moving the same way as him, so for a moment there was a dense sound of voice prompts and armor closing in the equipment compartment.

Look, whose spacesuit is dressed like this?

Whose spacesuit has such a voice prompt?

Whose spacesuit dress sounds like this?

Tang Chao's spacesuit is like this.

It's just that the "spacesuit" of the person does not call itself a spacesuit, but a power protective suit.

However, there is a power assist system, so this "power" is fine.

And these armors protect not only against bullets, but also against micrometeorites, space junk and high-energy rays, so "protection" is no problem.

The last "suit", looking at those hard protective armor, is actually ...... Actually, it's okay.

After all, body armor also has the word "clothing", but it is necessary to insert steel plates and ceramic plates inside, and only when these things are installed can it be regarded as a complete version of body armor.

After the dressing is completed, the fixture is unlocked, and the foot electromagnetic adsorption device of the power protective suit is activated, still allowing the protective suit to stand firmly on the floor.

"Knock knock~"

Four combatants dressed in power suits walked to the side of the firearms equipment cabinet, pressed the code, and the cabinet door opened, revealing electromagnetic rifles.

Although they are combatants, they don't have to hold the electromagnetic rifle in their hands all the time, so they take out the electromagnetic rifle and put it directly behind their backs, and the electromagnetic rifle is adsorbed up.

The electromagnetic rifle originally had electromagnetism, but it was after it was turned on, and when it was not turned on, it was an iron bump, and it happened that there was an electromagnetic adsorption node on the back of the power protective suit, and it went up as soon as it was sucked.

Ready, because the landing craft was pressurized in advance, you can walk in by opening the airlock and the mooring hatch directly.

The manned capsule of the Mars landing craft is large enough, so they have the luxury of having stairs, and they can go down the stairs directly with electromagnetic boots.

The manned cabin is divided into two floors, the upper deck is the cockpit, because there are stairs to occupy space, as well as various display screens and consoles, so there is only a place for two drivers, and the lower deck is considered a cabin, which can accommodate eight people.

After everyone was seated, the captain of the Don Spore - the ambassador of human diplomacy - the commander of operations - the main pilot of the Mars landing module - Chao, activated the detachment mode of the landing craft, left the spacecraft and landed on Mars.

During the landing, the shield was closed, and then the engine slowed down, passing through the thin Martian atmosphere and gradually approaching the already discovered landing site.
