After two days of acceleration, the spacecraft finally entered the cruising speed, and by this time, the spacecraft had already flown out of the Earth-Moon system and flew in the direction of Mars.

After the ship reaches cruising speed, the crew is no longer affected by acceleration, and the interior of the ship is also abnormally stable, so the crew activities are also increased.

If you should start experimenting, you should do experiments, and the time on the road cannot be delayed, after all, human beings have never been here in such a far space environment, and various situations need to be understood by them.

Physics experiments, chemistry experiments, biological experiments, and of course, favorite vegetable planting experiments are all carried out in various laboratories.

The recreation room, fitness room, etc. in the gravity simulation area are also very lively.

Although it is a large ship more than 200 meters long, the number of 40 people is still a lot for the remaining space after removing the huge engine, nuclear fusion energy device, and various mechanical devices.

Once you can move freely, then the interaction with the earth is about to begin, and in this closed and distant environment, interacting with the earth is also a way to relieve psychological stress.

While it has not flown too far now, and the delay in the exchange of information between the two sides is not too long, the arc space command center has arranged two more live broadcasts, and the astronauts will even pick some barrage questions to answer, although there has been some delay at this time, but the impact is not big and acceptable.

Later, the "Yuanhui" flew farther, and there were fewer live broadcasts, but the astronauts would still be asked to pick a time period to record the video, and then send it back to the arc command center, and the arc space will be put on the official website to satisfy the curiosity of outsiders about the Mars program.

“…… This is my favorite place, the kitchen in the gravity zone, and now it's our three chefs cooking, they're all very good nutritionists and chefs, and they're in charge of the food for 40 of us. ”

"Although a large part of our food is ready-to-eat or ready-to-eat space things, some can be eaten when heated, some can be eaten open, but our chefs still have to cook a few freshly cooked dishes every day, which will make us energetic every day, haha, wave to our chefs and thank them for giving us food, they are the people I love the most here."

"You know, before the advent of arc spaceflight, it was impossible for other spacecraft to do this, because there was no gravity in their spacecraft, not even cooking, and eating was dangerous."

"Speaking of which, I want to take you to our vegetable patch...... Oh, no, no, it's the plant cultivation lab, it's a magical place. ”

"But the plant lab is not here, after all, the area with gravity in space is still very precious, so those plants are in a compartment in the middle of the spaceship, I'll take you to see ......"

Every time I record a video, I will change someone, because everyone's hobbies are different, so the things they care about and the angle from which they look at problems are also different, so that they can show more comprehensively.

And those people on the earth who pay attention to this matter, every time they watch the video, they can see something new, and they are also very happy, and they will leave a message on it to ask questions.

Because when it is not live, the astronauts on the "Voyage" will answer a few questions from the previous video by the way when they record a video next time.

This makes people look forward to this trip to Mars unusually.

"I really want to go to Mars, why haven't I been able to choose astronauts, I've submitted my resume to Arc Space several times, doesn't it mean that they have the lowest threshold for recruiting astronauts?"

"It's probably a mismatch, and I didn't choose either, but I only voted twice, and I didn't vote if I didn't feel like I was selected."

"Huh! Have you ever submitted so many resumes here? I'm also pitching, this is the first time I've voted, and I'm waiting for news...... Wait, just came the notice, I passed, let's go down first, and then talk! ”

"I ...... It's so enviable, I feel that the life of an astronaut is so good, and I can fly a spaceship, eat so well every day, and go on an adventure on a mysterious planet, it's so good! ”

"What's good? That is, after the arc light spaceflight, the situation of the astronauts in space has improved, as it was said in the video, you have to be careful when eating, because there is no gravity, many things are very difficult to do. ”

"Urging! Urging! It's too short, it's over before I watch it, when will the next video be updated? Is there a live broadcast in the later stage?? When to Mars??? ”

"It's amazing, and the question is sent three times in a row. Incidentally...... Ditto! Urging! ”

“…………”

In this way, in February 2021, I was basically dumpled by the news of the Arc Group, and when I opened the web page and TV, I could basically see the figure of the Arc Group.

First of all, at the beginning of the month, the beginning was the drama of "six major factions besieging Guangmingding", but it seems that those companies have obtained some markets of the arc group, but it doesn't seem to be of much use, and later because of the gap between publicity and actual products, consumers are a little disappointed, I don't know whether they lost or earned.

In the middle of the month, the military exercise of the Arc Group also shocked the world, and this was the first time that the Arc Group had officially demonstrated its armed forces, allowing the world to see what it means to be a different private group.

And there are some gossip circulating in private, such as that this exercise was actually shown to the United States by the Arc Group, and then the United States admitted to selling Musk's aerospace.

At the end of the month, it was a big event like the Mars program, and I think that the United States had talked about the landing on the moon for decades, which shows how great the influence of landing on an alien planet is.

This time, the Arc Group wants to land on Mars, a distant planet that often appears in people's entertainment and life, and this incident has a great impact on human beings.

This makes people realize that the scenes from science fiction movies are becoming reality, interstellar tourism and interstellar migration are no longer dreams, and the earth is undergoing a sea change.

It is precisely because there are more and more news about the Arc Group, and the more it is displayed, the stronger it becomes, which also leads to the launch of their bold plan on the side of the United States.

After March, the "Tutadis" program led by the United States Space Agency has made very obvious progress.

At the end of February, it took them just a few days to complete the design of the smart thruster, and they named it "Hercules".

The reason why it is so fast is because, as Victor said, technology is ready-made technology, as long as the right technology is in the right place, the whole system is integrated.

And in March, the scientific and technological manufacturing strength of the United States at a critical moment was reflected, after all, they were able to build 50 aircraft carriers in one year.

Of course, the situation was different at that time, and they were also concentrating on big things at that time, and now it is much worse.

But that's it, before the "Voyage" reached Mars, his thrusters were almost built.

By mid-March, the plan to build 40 Hercules thrusters was 90% complete.
