After listening to Li Xingyu's words, Zhu Lei also felt helpless, in the past ten years, the current emperor of the Ming Empire has repeatedly said that he wants him to take over as the next emperor of the Ming Empire, but Zhu Lei refused, after all, there is still a prince in the Ming Empire, as the legal heir, the prince of the Ming Empire is absolutely qualified to inherit the throne of the Ming Empire, and the current His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Empire is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, and he is good enough.

So he never thought about this throne, and in fact, he didn't have much interest in the throne of the Ming Empire, after all, the current emperor is not as good as in ancient times, and the restrictions on inheriting the emperor are too many, and he said that there are still many things to do, once he inherits the throne, then these things will definitely not be able to continue, so he doesn't want to be the emperor of the Ming Empire.

"Hey! Okay, let's not talk about these for now, anyway, the current emperor of the Ming Empire still has a long lifespan, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young now, so take your time in the future! Zhu Lei sighed and said to Li Xingyu.

In the following days, Zhu Lei and his daughter both stayed at the spacecraft development center until the day the spacecraft set sail.

The time has finally come for the scientific research spacecraft to set sail on Mars, although the investigation of Mars is a very big thing for the entire human race, but this time the scientific research spacecraft set sail, in addition to the scientific research personnel on the spacecraft, only a few of the largest media in the Ming Empire came to the scene, and other people set sail this time and did not open to them.

However, despite this, the Ming Empire officials still sent official news units and now members of the Ming Empire and other cabinet members to encourage the astronauts on this mission.

At this time, the scientific research ship has been driven out of the spacecraft manufacturing plant and parked on the spacecraft take-off and landing platform of the spacecraft research and development center, and the vehicle has now been named Pioneer, after all, this scientific research ship is the vanguard of human exploration of Mars and the vanguard of human beings going to space, so the name Pioneer is worthy of its name.

"How is the wasp prepared, you are the commander of this human exploration of Mars, so there will be many unknown dangers you will face in this flight, and the life safety of these valuable scientists on the spacecraft is in your hands, so no matter what kind of danger you encounter during the exploration, you must deal with it calmly and think calmly, and you can't act recklessly."

And although this Mars expedition will be recorded in the annals of human history, in my eyes, whether it is success or failure, you will be the hero of mankind, so the first thing you should consider in the exploration process is your own safety, and then consider others when your own safety conditions are sufficient, after all, you only have one life, and if the Mars exploration fails this time, there will be a next one, so I hope you remember.

And even if you fail, the data you bring back will have a significant impact on the entire Ming Empire's Mars program, so you must put your own safety first. Zhu Lei patted Huang Feng, who was standing in front, and said.

"It's the prince, I must remember your teachings, I will definitely put safety first, or the scientists on this spaceship." Huang Feng replied loudly.

"Okay, when the ship's supplies are loaded, you can go." After saying that, the two of them looked at the spaceship that was loading supplies.

The expedition of this first scientific research ship to Mars will last for half a year, so the material preparations must be very sufficient, after all, there is no place for supplies in the universe, and various accidents may occur at any time, so the preparation of materials on board must not be sloppy.

When the last modified version of the Xuanwu No. 3 ground firepower platform slowly drove into the Pioneer, it marked that the loading of the materials had been completed, and the spacecraft could take off at any time.

Zhu Lei saw that this Xuanwu No. 3 firepower platform is very different from the general Xuanwu No. 3 firepower platform, not only in terms of size, the Xuanwu No. 3 has nearly doubled in size in the past two days, but also in terms of weaponry, this Xuanwu No. 3 is more advanced, and in addition to weapons, there are various manipulators around it, and the top of this Xuanwu No. 3 is also covered with various transparent glass channels like a spaceship, in addition to the body of this Tianxuanwu No. 3 is also covered with other communication equipment.

Zhu Lei knew that this super Xuanwu No. 3 firepower platform was specially made by Zhu Lei's military factory on the earth for this mission, after all, it is very dangerous to explore Mars, and these two Xuanwu No. 3 are the most important survival tools for me to investigate Mars, after all, the environment in the heart of the guy is harsh, and the personnel cannot survive on it for a long time.

Even if you are wearing power armor, it is very likely to encounter unexpected situations, and power armor is the last means of support for human activities on Mars, it can only maintain human survival on Mars for no more than a week, after all, the power armor is placed there in its volume, and it cannot load more materials at all.

But this Xuanwu No. 3 is different, not only the space is large enough, the various living materials in the vehicle are very complete, even if there is no scientific research ship, this Xuanwu No. 3 can also maintain the basic life of the personnel inside for at least half a year, and because the Xuanwu No. 3 armor is very strong, even if it encounters an emergency, you can have time to face it calmly, and when you encounter a threat to the cosmic creatures, your weapon can also provide effective security for the scientific research personnel, after all, this is the Xuanwu No. 3 The weapons and equipment are very advanced, and even the existence of nuclear bombs, it can be said that this Xuanwu 3 has been armed to the teeth.

"Report to the prince, all the materials have been loaded onto the ship, please instruct!" Seeing that all the supplies had been loaded onto the Pioneer spacecraft, the wasp, as the captain, trotted in front of Zhu Lei and saluted and said loudly.

Su Lei nodded to Huang Feng and said, "Okay, then all the personnel of this scientific expedition are ready to board the ship, and then wait for the order to take off." ”

"Yes! Rajah! Then he trotted over to the side of the ship and pressed the button for the ship's alarm.

All crew members of the Pioneer are reminded that the Pioneer research vessel is about to take off, so all crew members of the ship are requested to begin boarding......

This sound lasted three times, and then the hatch of the spacecraft began to slowly descend, and the extraordinary crew and the scientists who were going to conduct the Mars expedition began to enter the Pioneer space research ship in an orderly manner, but these people will write their own suicide notes before entering the Mars program and hand them over to Zhu Lei, the general manager of the Mars program, for safekeeping, if there is an accident on this Mars expedition, these suicide notes will be handed over to their families by the military department of the Ming Empire and Zhu Lei himself, If they return safely, Zhu Lei will be responsible for destroying all of these suicide notes.

Looking at the crew and scientists who were entering the Pioneer not far away, Zhu Lei couldn't help but feel proud, these are the loveliest people in the Ming Empire, if they didn't rely on Zhu Lei alone, then it would be impossible for him to develop the Ming Empire into the only country on the earth, and today mankind will embark on the road of conquering Mars.
