168 Mars Expedition Part I

"Captain Jun Jiushao, prepare our landing ship and prepare to land in the target area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info," Sangis said solemnly.

Jun Jiushao skillfully and elegantly manipulated the control panel in front of him, and his elegant face was calm, "After preparation, the landing ship can be dispatched at any time." ”

Sanjishi still values this very ancient girl, he smiled in seriousness, and said: "You can participate in this landing mission, the first landing on Mars, it should be a good experience for you earthlings." ”

Jun Jiushao struggled slightly, didn't speculate, stood up, and the crew's training uniform set off her beautiful figure. She saluted Sanjis, left her seat, and said, "Thank you, Captain. ”

Sanjith waved his hand, indicating that it was not worth mentioning.

Jun Jiushao couldn't help but be curious, asked him a question, and said: "Captain, you are a Zimo Xing, the database says that Zimo Xingren can breathe almost all the air in the atmosphere, as long as there is a trace of oxygen in it, they can survive, is this true?" ”

Sangis smiled and said, "That's true, but the more atmospheric the planet, the more restricted our activities are." It's not a big deal, you're all wearing armor that automatically filters the air. ”

Jun Jiushao nodded, said goodbye to Sanjishi, and joined the landing team this time.

There were eight people in the landing craft, and everyone had excitement on their faces that could not be concealed. After all, they will be the first earthlings to set foot on Martian soil.

For Jun Jiushao's arrival, a few people in the landing ship were not surprised, Jun Jiushao performed well in the academy, and his popularity was also very high, in just three months, he had already become the goddess of the academy.

There is another woman in the team, Yin Qiao, a medical officer, who is responsible for taking care of emergencies, first aiding the wounded, and so on.

Jun Jiushao and Yin Qiao were not too familiar, and the two nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

At this time, Huang Quan, who was in the landing team, jokingly taunted Tashvi: "Hey, the captain told you to wipe the floor, and you will set off with us when you finish wiping." ”

Tashvi was a little annoyed and exclaimed, "When I come back from Mars, I won't be too late to wipe it." It's really unlucky, obviously there are so many maintenance robots on the ship, but this kind of work is a waste of labor. ”

Huang Quan hit him mercilessly: "I let you do this to torture you." ”

Tashvi snorted twice, ignored the loss friend, and shouted: "Captain Chi, hurry up and pass the mission requirements." ”

Because it is a training mission, the landing team's mission this time is completely improvised, so as to create a sudden mission that may occur in real spaceflight and exploration.

Chi Jia, a young officer with a sparse eyebrows, said: "Okay, without further ado, our operation this time is to investigate the Valley of Sailors in the southern hemisphere of Mars. The difficulty is not high, mainly intelligence acquisition and sample collection, which is expected to be completed within four hours. ”

Tashvi lamented: "Such a thing without technical content, drones can do it." We are the first earthlings to land on Mars, shouldn't we plant a Star Union flag, and then pose for a few photos to talk about some scenes such as a small step for individuals and a big leap for humans? ”

Captain Chi Jia looked at Tashvi and said very blandly: "Because we don't have to do those useless things." After all, field investigation is still different from drone investigation, we can give a more subjective impression, which is of great help in many ways to enhance the perception of stars in the solar system by the Star Alliance. ”

Huang Quan smiled: "Then let's do this." ”

Huang Quan himself came from a prominent background, but in the academy, he was not as domineering as he was in the imperial capital. There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the academy, just like this one named Chi Jia, before entering the academy, he was a little-known junior officer, but now he is the best in the academy, and there is even a person who hopes to become the first captain of the Star Alliance earthling.

Huang Quan can imagine that if Chi Jiazhen takes over as the captain of a battleship of the Space Force as soon as he graduates, no matter what type of ship it is, the future development is unlimited. With his utilitarian outlook on life, such a person must have a good relationship.

The landing craft is controlled by Tashvi, and although it cannot fly a fighter plane over Mars, it can be considered a consolation to be able to fly a landing craft. Tashvi's talent for flying is unquestionable, which is why he was able to stay at the academy despite his many problems at times. If he was given the opportunity to grow, he could be even better than many of Iridium's pilots right now.

The landing craft left the mothership Longquan, and the engine started, but it was mainly attracted by Mars itself, allowing the spacecraft to fall towards Mars. Through the atmosphere, the landing craft soon reached the target area - Mariner's Valley.

This super canyon, which is longer and deeper than any canyon on Earth, is a geographical wonder in the entire solar system. In the Grand Canyon, which is thousands of meters deep, there is a large amount of water, and it is liquid water. This once made mankind full of hope for moving to Mars, where water resources are still quite abundant.

The landing craft went deep into the Valley of the Mariners, and Tashvi flew in the direction of the rift in the Valley of the Mariners.

"Oh my God, it's spectacular." Tashvi turned on the observation system, and the cabins around him became transparent, allowing him to see the changing scenery below.

With rushing rivers tumbling in the canyon, it's hard to imagine the landscape of a desert planet. An even more shocking image appeared, where in one part of the canyon was interrupted, and at the same time as the river disappeared, a river of magma in the earth's crust was vented from one of the craters and flowed on another channel in the canyon.

"It's a miracle." Jun Jiushao couldn't help but admire.

Even though Tashvi was piloting the spacecraft at Mach 5, the spacecraft was still able to capture every image of the place it passed. As the ship approached the end of Mariner's Valley, the team seemed to see something amazing.

"Hey, did you see what I saw? It's not like I'm dazzled, right? Tashvi exclaimed.

Chi Jia stepped forward, held the back of his chair, looked at the scene on the screen, and said solemnly: "The things you see are the same as what we see." ”

Huang Quan also exclaimed: "This ...... It's not scientific. ”

The lava river rushed through the canyon, and in the center of the canyon ahead, a crater, or hole, was a crater, or hole, that was so large that it appeared in the riverbed. But all the magma completely bypassed the giant hole and flowed somewhere else.

Jun Jiushao looked at the black hole and deep crater, and said, "This shouldn't be natural, maybe it's artificially created. ”

After Chi Jia was slightly distracted, he still decided: "Report to the mothership, we are just conducting preliminary exploration, and the next work is not something that our people can do." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Chi Jia could see that the team members were obviously unwilling.

No one knows what lies beneath the cavern, or what force has split the magma and made it circulate. The squad, which had only been trained for three months, was not ready to face such a thing.
