In the astronaut lounge of Arc Space, the members of the team who are going to carry out the Mars mission are taking their final rest.

In a while, they will set off on two airliners, and then board the Martian spacecraft in space and set off for Mars, starting the first human journey to Mars.

Previously, the Martian spacecraft had been transferred from the dock and moved next to the Tiangong space station.

After all, the dock has not yet been built, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate to hold a ceremony there, so it is better to have the Tiangong space station here.

When the Martian spacecraft was pushed out of the dock by the tugboat, and then used the temporary power supply to turn on the intelligent system, let the intelligent system start the nuclear fusion reaction device, turn on all the systems, and fly to the Tiangong space station with blue light, it gave the world a feeling of quite shock.

This big guy can really fly, and he can fly only with an intelligent system, and he flies so well.

The big guy more than 200 meters long, a spaceship in the real sense, this feeling is not comparable to that kind of aerospace plane, which means that human beings really have the power to cross the starry sky.

Dong Chen is also here in the lounge, chatting with Musk, who is about to embark on his dream journey, and by the way, Xiang Wu, who has already served as the chief designer of the arc space vehicle, is also busy and involved in it.

“…… Alas, Mr. Musk, you are fine, you can actually participate in the first human Mars landing event, in fact, I also want to go, but unfortunately I still have to preside over the design of the new spacecraft, and I can't do without it. ”

Xiang Wu sighed and said, by the way, he also envied Musk.

"Come on, if you don't preside over the design of the new spacecraft, you won't be able to go to Mars, who made you not a professional astronaut, the first landing on Mars for a scientific expedition is not a tour, and the danger is also very great." Dong Chen complained ruthlessly beside him.

Well, the main thing is that he can't go either, so he has to pull a cushion on his back so that his resentment is not so heavy.

Xiang Wu glanced at Dong Chen when he heard this, and then seemed to think of something: "By the way, you don't seem to be able to go, you are still under the control of Brother Sun." ”

"Haha, when I think of this, I suddenly have a balance in my heart."

"You're a girl, it's useless for you to laugh, it's like he doesn't care about you."

Watching these two rookies pecking each other there, Musk looked at the players who were chatting and relaxing, and his heart felt like a dream.

"I'm still a little unbelievable, this day came so quickly, I was able to take the advance team to Mars for a scientific expedition, it felt like a dream."

Listening to Musk's emotion there, Xiang Wu was directly unwilling.

"I said, Mr. Musk, you're going to board the ship and set off for Mars in a while, and you're just feeling like a dream now, isn't it a little late? You are a typical full man, you don't know how hungry a man is hungry. ”

"Hehe, too," Musk suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Maybe it's older, fifty years old, sometimes it's a little emotional." ”

"It has always been my dream to go to Mars as soon as possible while my body is still healthy, and it has come true in advance."

For this sudden age emotion, not only Xiang Wu was speechless, but Dong Chen was also speechless.

Although the two of them are only in their twenties and can't understand what it means to be fifty years old, as modern people, this age limit is not so big, right?

I feel that when we talk about the topic of actual "age" now, if the age interval is not particularly large, and it is not the kind of biological age that is huge or old, it may be more reliable to say that the psychological age will be a little more reliable.

So Dong Chen said, "Musk, fifty years old is not a big deal, haven't you felt any changes in the past few days?" Those stitches weren't for nothing. ”

"You should say, while you are still young and adventurous enough, it is just right to go to Mars now."

"Uh...... All right. ”

He only said two words, but he was refuted by the two people next to him, so Musk simply didn't say this.

Touching his face, which really felt several years younger, he began to talk to Dong Chen about the new spaceship.

He was also very much looking forward to the new spaceship.

Although the spaceship they were about to take was already the highest technology level on Earth in his opinion, it was ...... As a good-looking party, when the level is sufficient, it is time to consider the issue of appearance.

He also knew now that this spaceship was an emergency design, not disgusted, uh, there was a new one, more perfect, he still preferred the new one.

After all, those new ships are well-designed, beautiful in shape, and full of functions, and he likes them all.

But after a while, a notice came from outside.

Time's up.

It's time to go to the sea of stars.

Dong Chen stood up and shook hands with Musk and said, "Then I wish you all the best in your mission." ”

"Okay, thank you." Musk also shook hands with him and said, "We must live up to our mission, just wait for our triumphant return." ”

Xiang Wu also came to join in the fun, shook Musk's hand and shook it, "You must be optimistic about my spaceship, this is the first long-distance spacecraft to Mars that I designed, don't break it for me." ”

"Got it," Musk said with a smile, "its "body" is definitely better than ours, it won't be anything if we have an accident, and if it has an accident on its own, you won't have a chance to punish me, haha." ”

"Phew, we Huaguo all pay attention to an auspicious one, what are you talking about," Xiang Wu hurriedly said, "It should be said that the journey is smooth...... Well, let's wish the mission well. ”

In space, if you say that you have a good wind, you can only go with the solar wind, but if the solar wind breaks out, it is not fun.

"Thank you, your ship and our team members will definitely be able to return safely." Musk finally laughed.

When they said this here, Dong Chen's side had already shook hands with each member of the advance team, and then said some words of encouragement and let them go.

Although a special press conference has been held before, so that these warriors who went out to the expedition also collectively appeared in a photo, but on the day of departure, Arc Aerospace still invited reporters from all over the world to come to Arc Aerospace and recorded this precious moment with various pictures.

"This is Huaguo's No. 1 TV station, audience friends in front of the TV, you can see that all the members of the earth's first Mars exploration team have appeared, and they are preparing to take an aerospace plane to the Tiangong space station, where they will fly to ......Mars in the first real sense of the human spacecraft."

"This is the United States TV, and we are now in the Arc Space Airport on Arc Island, where the first human landing on Mars will begin. We see that at the forefront is the celebrity we are familiar with, Musk, this time he has become the captain of the Mars exploration team from the president of the space company, precisely because Mars is his dream, and he is in order to ......"

"Audience friends before the live broadcast, hello, the place where our reporter is located is Arc Island, like us are the warriors who landed on Mars, there are a total of forty of them, this is definitely the first time that humans have landed on Mars in history, this has to be said to be a miracle, I believe that the netizens in front of the screen will not think that the first landing of humans on Mars is such a large scale ......"

Musk led the 39 team members and waved to the reporters in a majestic manner, and some of the younger reporters couldn't help cheering for them, looking very excited.

This team does not belong to any country, and the purpose of the mission does not have any political interests, and the team members include several large races in the world, so it can be said that they represent the earth to a certain extent.

Therefore, this Mars landing mission is a feat that belongs to all mankind, and the Arc Group has always said so, and it is difficult for other organizations to refute it.

Because that's the way it is, other countries can only clap their hands and celebrate this honor that does not belong to any country.
