"Hello, Mars!!"

It's still a gravel, desert-filled world, with no stable liquid water, polar temperatures, and harsh environments. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Haochen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and his vision was full of rust red, and the sky was faintly orange-red.

"Goodbye, Mars!!"

It took nearly a year to leave Earth, land on Mars, and complete scientific exploration.

Now, it's time to say goodbye.

Waving goodbye to the dusty wind in the sky, he is about to set off for his return voyage.

"I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come here again in the future." Yuan Haochen continued to look at the crimson world in front of him attentively, "If you come back next time, it will be when the Mars scientific research base is completed......"

"Fellow scientists of the Mars Science Exploration Team, please double-check if you have all your belongings with you."

Frank's high-pitched voice interrupted Hara's thoughts.

"In addition to the necessary materials, there are also scientific research samples collected, and all other instruments and equipment are properly stored in the Martian living module."

All the astronauts will soon leave the Martian surface aboard the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle and return to the Starship spacecraft that has been orbiting Mars.

The Mars Living Module, the rover, and all other non-essential scientific instruments and equipment will be left on Mars for the next scientific exploration team to arrive.

In fact, the Mars living module can also be regarded as the first "scientific base" established by mankind on Mars, but this base is too small and too simple.

Although the base is small, these supplies and equipment could be a valuable asset for the next scientific team to reach Mars.

In essence, this is also a process of resource accumulation, and the upcoming Mars scientific research base construction plan is no more than that.

In the early days of the construction of the base, the Earth civilization had to transport the necessary materials and equipment to Mars bit by bit, just like ants moving.

When the materials and equipment accumulate to a certain extent and meet the minimum operating requirements, we can try to use local materials on Mars to carry out larger-scale construction projects.

"Goodbye, Martian Life Pod! Although you are small and simple, you are like a warm home, sheltering all humans on Mars. “

is about to leave, everyone looks at the Martian life module, their eyes are full of reluctance.

At Sal's suggestion, everyone (including Suzuki and Chen) gathered at the Martian Life Module, the home of the house where everyone had lived for a year, to take a group photo.

Even though they were wearing a space helmet, it was difficult to distinguish in the photos, but everyone showed great interest.

Also, don't ask who will take the picture, the intelligent shooting technology of this era is quite mature.

Huo Tianyu of the Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics did one last inspection of the Martian living module, and then skillfully opened the safety valve and turned off the non-essential power supply inside the Martian living module.

"Let's go! Go to the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle! When Huo Tianyu finished the inspection, Frank decisively ordered.

............

"Ten Minutes to Prepare" ......

"One-Minute Countdown" ......

“10，9，8，7，6，5......”

"Let's go!!"

As the driver Keanu Reeves gave the start command.

The Quanyue Mars landing vehicle spewed brilliant flames, rose from the ground, soared, and gradually became a small bright spot in the sky.

In this way, the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle carried 12 astronauts, the urns of three sacrificed astronauts, and various precious scientific research samples, flew out of the Martian atmosphere and flew into Martian outer space......

"The Izumitsuki is flying normally! Successfully entered the scheduled orbit around Mars! Call the Starship Spaceship. ”

The Quanyue Mars landing vehicle soon entered its predetermined orbit, and the pilot, Keanu Reeves, had already begun contacting the Starship spacecraft.

According to the plan, they will soon approach the Starship spaceship orbiting in the same orbit.

"Quanyue, this is the Starship Spaceship, I'm Jensen, please adjust the flight trajectory and flight speed, and prepare for docking."

"Jenson, I can already see your back." Keanu Reeves replied with a smile.

"The distance is 3.1 kilometers and the relative speed is 42.7 meters per second." Jensen continued to report on the data.

"Quanyue, the relative distance between us is about 0.8 kilometers now, and it is expected that the docking will start in 2 minutes."

As in the case of docking in orbit around the Earth a year ago, after several adjustments to displacement and relative velocity, the Quanyue Mars landing vehicle once again completed a perfect docking with the Starship spacecraft.

"God, you're finally back."

When the docking hatch opened, everyone immediately saw Jensen, the pilot of the Starship spaceship who was already waiting for them, and Nikolaev, a special engineer of the nuclear propulsion system.

"Long time no see, Jensen, and Nikolaev!" Frank was the first to greet the two astronauts who have been in outer space on Mars for the past year.

"Long time no see, Captain Frank! It's the 352nd orbit of the Starship spacecraft around Mars. I finally saw the earthlings outside of Nikolaev again! Haha~" Jenson smiled happily. (The rotation of Mars is very similar to that of Earth, with a rotation of 24.62 hours.)

"Hello everyone, I'm very happy to see you, I finally don't have to look at Jenson's sad face every day."

"It seems that the entertainment facilities in our spaceship are far from enough to be newly introduced."

"There should be one or two more people on the spaceship, so we can also play cards as a group, life in space is really boring."

Jensen, who hadn't chatted with anyone else for a long time, looked like he was fully charged and couldn't stop talking.

"I think you need a warm-hearted female partner more, and you have to be glad that this is not a decades-long interstellar journey, haha."

............

After a period of pleasantries, everyone began to quickly sort out the various materials brought back from Mars and put them in different categories.

In the process of sorting out the materials, Yuan Haochen saw the urns of Bruno, Roland and Summit several times, and sighed in his heart.

Human life is too small for the vastness of the universe.

Presumably, Bruno and the others could not have predicted that the heroic departure a year ago, the ambitious departure to Mars, and now such a bleak return to their homeland......
