A week later, the epidemic was declared over, and the United States announced the lifting of martial law. But more demonstrators gathered in front of the White House to demand that Trump take responsibility for the outbreak and resign.

On the same day, the Senate also initiated the established process and began to impeach the president of the United States.

However, Trump soon got a respite, and the attention of the United States was diverted from the president's poor performance, because Artemis 1 had entered the outer orbit of Mars and was ready to land.

Due to technical reasons, the landing on Mars cannot be broadcast live as the moon landing, but NASA still has full command of Artemis 1 through technical means.

Karachi has not rested for forty-eight hours, and he has been observing the environment on the surface of Mars.

It's clear that the storm hasn't stopped, and technically speaking, the storm on Mars is very small, equal to Earth's Category 5 or 4 winds.

But the surface of Mars is mostly made of desert and gravel, and the wind is dark, and looking down from the outer orbit of the Martian atmosphere, Karachi really doesn't know how to land.

The scheduled landing orbit is located in the northeast of the Martian equator at the X location, where the Mars rover of the United States has been waiting here for half a year, Artemis 1 could have made contact with the Mars rover to determine the actual situation of the landing site, but I don't know what the reason is, Artemis 1 has lost contact with the Mars rover three months ago.

"It could be that the storm was too big and the rover broke down." Karachi explains.

After fully assessing the situation on the surface of Mars, NASA issued an order to Artemis 1 that Karachi must land on Mars in 12 hours, on September 25, 2024.

The reason given by NASA is that the Martian storm is quite small in size and energy, and the slight wind does not have any effect on the landfall.

Karachi had no choice but to obey orders, reconfirmed the landing site, and analyzed through the meteorological analysis device that the storm would calm down in twelve hours, which was a landfall window.

"Guys, let's get ready and land on Mars in twelve hours."

After almost 50 hours of flying around the far earth orbit over Mars, the astronauts were already quite anxious, and now they were excited to hear that they could finally land on Mars, and the fatigue of the past few months had long been forgotten.

It's not that they don't worry about the storm on Mars, but they believe in NASA technology more, and the ground control center says that if they can land on Mars, they will definitely be able to land on Mars.

Karachi told the team again, "Check the login system, I'll go sleep for a while." ”

Karachi also had to rest, and it was quite dangerous to land on Mars after working for forty-eight hours without resting.

……

Yongyue Island, the headquarters of the Chaos Creatures.

Because of the successful control of the epidemic in the United States, Chaos Bio's products were re-marketed in the United States.

Shen Huai temporarily named Wang Jia as the person in charge of the rice market, and all the products of Chaos Creature will re-enter the rice market according to the company's plan, so Wang Jia is busy during this time.

Chief Engineer Ouyang was talking to Shen Huai and informed him of the upcoming landing of the United States on Mars.

"What do you think are the chances of success?"

Chief Engineer Ouyang said: "We can't judge exactly, after all, Mars is a mystery to everyone, although the United States has been sending Mars rovers to work on it twenty years ago, but after all, the Mars rover is small in size and light in weight, and the space shuttle landing on Mars is two concepts." Coupled with the fact that Mars' gravity is only about 38% of that of Earth, and its apparently harsh environment, there is no way to speculate on how much damage a slight storm can cause. ”

Shen Huai said: "This has not had a great impact on our landing on Mars, the Chaos Biology Mobei Laboratory has developed a new cosmic creature, and human minds can all be transplanted on it, this creature can survive on Mars even if it does not need any protective equipment, and the Chaos Craft of the Gambia Laboratory has also been developed." Mr. Ou, we need the support of the state, and the landing program on Mars belonging to the republic can begin. ”

Chief Engineer Ouyang said excitedly: "Mi Guo is one step ahead, but we may not do worse than him." ”

Shen Huai said: "We expect the launch time of the vehicle to be around mid-October or the end of October, and it will also land on the moon first, from the moon directly to Mars. ”

The two old friends also fully discussed the technical difficulties of landing on Mars, and agreed that the time period for the Republic to land on Mars and thus march into deep space has arrived.

Karachi wakes up from his sleep, and the image of the Martian storm haunting the astronauts appears in the dream, and he sweats profusely to realize that it is okay that it is just a dream.

With two hours left before the landing time, Artemis 1 also began to adjust its attitude and prepare for landing.

After the astronauts confirmed that the data was normal, they transmitted the information from the shuttle to NASA on the ground, and twenty minutes later, the ground replied to the message that everything was normal and could be landed.

Karachi looked at the environment on the surface of Mars through the center console, and because the storm atmosphere was cloudy, it was impossible to see the specific situation of the landing site.

He followed NASA's instructions and said: "Locate directly through the coordinates, our Mars rover has already observed the terrain of the landing site, and there should be no problem in landing according to the coordinates." ”

while taking control of Artemis One, "Initiating the landing process." ”

"Adjust the track and start the landing process."

Artemis 1 began to adjust and lower, flying towards the intended landing site, and was soon caught by the gravitational pull of Mars and accelerated towards Mars.

For a short time after entering the Martian atmosphere, Artemis 1's external signal transmission was completely interrupted, and the astronauts could only strapped themselves to their seats and could not control Artemis 1.

The landing was not smooth, and Karachi could clearly feel a strong force from the outside attacking Artemis I. Karachi also doesn't know if the impact was due to the gravel blown up by the storm or the density of the atmosphere.

Ten minutes later, Artemis One oscillated violently from side to side and seemed to lose its center.

Inside the cabin, red colors, symbolizing emergencies, flashed, and a shrill alarm sounded.

"Three hundred kilometers from the ground......"

"Two hundred kilometers from the ground......"

"A hundred kilometers from the ground......"

"Fifty kilometers...... Forty kilometers ......"

Artemis I is descending faster and faster, and the center of gravity is also severely deflected. If it lands in such a position, Artemis I will lie down and fall to the ground, and the consequences can be imagined.

"Activate the emergency plan! Turn on the brakes! Activate the emergency plan! ”

Karachi laboriously pressed the red button for the state of emergency......
