Chapter 289: Mars Exploration
In the following month, the Pioneer research ship arrived near Mars very smoothly.
After the spacecraft arrived near Mars, the following two small spacecraft also began to move towards their goal, and after the two small spacecraft separated, the Pioneer also began to prepare for landing on Mars, and the location of this landing on Mars had been determined a year ago, and the location of this landing on Mars was at the south pole of Mars.
For the south pole of Mars, after more than ten years of research, the Ming Empire believes that there may be water resources on it, and resources are a necessary condition for the formation of life, and if human beings want to survive on Mars, they must also have a fountain of life, so the most important task of this landing is to check whether there is water resources on Mars.
Therefore, the site of this landing was chosen in the south pole region of Mars, but the Pioneer landing, as a scientific research ship, will not enter Mars, and during the expedition, the Pioneer will command the flight in the stationary orbit of Mars.
After all, compared to other spacecraft, Xuanwu 3 is much safer, and this Xuanwu 3 can also go back and forth between Mars and space directly like an aerospace plane, after all, the current technology of the Ming Empire is not 20 years of technology.
After so many years of hard work, the anti-gravity technology has made a major breakthrough, and there is no risk in going back and forth between heaven and earth, and because Mars is much smaller than the Earth, the gravitational force on Mars is naturally not as large as that of the Earth, so it is not a problem for Xuanwu 3 at all.
The landing preparations were quickly completed, and with the order of the wasp, the plasma thrusters of Xuanwu 3 began to work, and Xuanwu 3 began to slowly leave the spacecraft and fly towards Mars, and as Mars got closer and closer, Xuanwu 3's anti-gravity engine also began to work.
Since Xuanwu 3 is not an aerospace vehicle, it is impossible for Xuanwu 3 to rely on the power of air to achieve landing like other space shuttles, so during the landing period, Xuanwu 3 relies on plasma thrusters and anti-gravity engines to achieve it, and because and because of the thin air on Mars, it is also very unrealistic to rely on collective strength to achieve landing, after all, the weight of Xuanwu 3 is there.
Soon Xuanwu 3 began to enter the Martian atmosphere, and the wasp on the research ship was very nervous at this time, after all, this is the first time that human beings have landed on Mars, so it is impossible to say that if he is not nervous, and as the captain of this kind of space research ship, his heart is much more stressed than others, although he has been trained to resist stress on the earth, but at this time his heart will inevitably be nervous.
However, seeing the instruments on the spacecraft, the landing process of Xuanwu 3 was very smooth, and there were no accidents, although Xuanwu 3 had not successfully landed on Mars at this time and was on its way.
But judging from the information sent back by Xuanwu 3, there is no threat to this landing, because at this time, Xuanwu 3 is less than 10,000 meters away from the Martian ground, and the most dangerous period for landing on Mars has passed.
Soon the information began to show that Xuanwu 3 had successfully landed on the south pole of Mars, and when he saw this information, he immediately turned on the spacecraft's communicator and began to contact Xuanwu 3.
Although the very information showed that everything was normal with Xuanwu 3, he was not very relieved in his heart, and he could only let go of it after hearing the news of the safety of the landing personnel in person.
"Xuanwu No. 3, Xuanwu No. 3, please answer, this is the Pioneer, may I ask if the login process is smooth, whether the personnel on Xuanwu No. 3 are safe, and what is the condition of Xuanwu No. 3." Huang Feng said.
"Xuanwu 3 received, Xuanwu 3 received, the landing went smoothly, the personnel are not abnormal, please rest assured, Xuanwu 3 is also normal, whether it will proceed as planned."
Hearing the information sent back by Xuanwu No. 3, Huang Feng's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the communicator: "The Pioneer has received, everything is going according to plan, if there is any emergency, please contact the Pioneer in time." ”
After Xuanwu 3 landed on Mars, the researchers on Xuanwu 3 did not directly walk out of Xuanwu 3, after all, they were not sure whether it was safe around at this time.
Although scientists on the earth have deduced that Mars is not suitable for life as early as more than ten years ago, so there must be no intelligent creatures on Mars, but this is just the inference of scientists, and no one knows the real situation, after all, the universe is so big, maybe there are other alien life on Mars, and after logging on a strange planet, the first thing to do is to ensure your own safety, and then make other plans.
After the landing of Xuanwu 3, first opened a door on the side, and then slowly drove out of an unmanned rover of about one meter or so from inside, although the mass rover did not have personnel inside, but in fact, all the actions of these two times were controlled by the staff in Xuanwu 3, after all, no matter how advanced the intelligence is, it is not comparable to the human brain, and the operator is in Xuanwu 3, and Xuanwu 3 is on Mars, so there is no need to worry about signal delay.
After the mass probe drove out, then the staff manipulated him and began to drive into the distance, and at this moment, a small door was also opened on the top of Xuanwu 3, and the OnePlus small drone that flew out from above, this small drone was also operated by the staff inside Xuanwu 3, although the intelligent blood sugar in this small drone is much higher than the rover on the ground, after all, drones and ground vehicles are two concepts, Whether it is balance, the speed of the aircraft and the direction of flight of the aircraft, it needs to be assisted by intelligent programs, and the vehicles on the ground have much less need for this.
After this small drone flew out, more than a dozen small drones flew out of Xuanwu 3 one after another, and then more than a dozen land vehicles of different sizes and shapes were also driven out of the small door next to it, and the size of these land vehicles is generally not large, and the largest vehicle will not exceed 1.5 meters, so these vehicles are operated by remote control, after all, Xuanwu 3 has a limited volume, if these aircraft and vehicles are all manned, The volume of that bottle of Xuanwu No. 3 is simply impossible to carry so many vehicles.
In fact, these unmanned vehicles do not go far, they can only move freely within 100 kilometers of Xuanwu 3, in case it exceeds 100 kilometers, then it is very likely that the signal of Xuanwu 3 will not cover there, after all, Mars is the same as the earth, and the ground is not very flat, and there are various mountain ranges.
The drones are different, after flying out of Xuanwu 3, these drones began to disperse in all directions of Mars, because the signal used by these drones is not the electromagnetic signal on Xuanwu 3, but through the communication satellite launched by Pioneer to achieve signal transmission. [.]
