When the energy of the amethy source crystal in the spacecraft's energy supply system frantically outputs high-purity energy, thousands of lasers like a ring honeycomb shoot 330,000 particle streams of lasers towards the super light sail at the front end, and tens of thousands of lasers carrying high-speed particle torrents continue to irradiate the 16.8 km long light sail area, and the mirror shield on the surface of the "Mars Express" (PS: a material, not the legendary energy shield) protects the hull from the damage caused by the continuous output of lasers.

The entire vehicle begins its first acceleration.

According to theoretical calculations, if the 1,000 groups of lasers on the "Mars Express" have been continuously irradiating the giant light sail for 200 days, that is, about 7 months of continuous output, then the spacecraft will always accelerate to 72.46% of the speed of light in 200 days with 1.34 times the gravitational acceleration in the past 7 months or so. At this speed, it will take less than 6 years, almost six years to reach the Alpha Centauri system.

Of course, this is only theoretical, the hull of the spacecraft with the existing human technology, its material strength is impossible to withstand such a fast speed, human physical fitness can not meet this requirement, in addition to the limit of the strength of the hull material, there will always be a limit to the output of thousands of laser groups, there can be no output overload, obviously, the current technology can not do 200 days of continuous laser irradiation.

The distance to Mars is not too close to the Alpha Galaxy, Ren Hong's goal is to reach Mars in about 100 days, which is also the scope of the current technology, and one step closer may lead to a catastrophic and dangerous accident of hull damage, before the birth of new materials, such a speed can only be allowed.

Acceleration is a long process, and it is not done all at once, because the human body has to be adjusted separately many times because of the limit of human endurance, and each acceleration is followed by a kind of torture for the human body, and this torture will be endured 15 times on the long journey to Mars. 14 times from the acceleration of the spacecraft itself, and one time from the star of the Sun.

"Noah" uses the gravitational pull of Venus to get an acceleration, and "Mars Express" also needs to get a free gravitational acceleration, but the object of the request is not comparable to Venus, which is the largest celestial body in the entire solar system, the absolute master - the sun.

There is amethyst, energy reserves naturally do not have to worry, but it does not mean that it can be wasted casually, not to mention the energy consumption of other equipment and instruments, just the energy output of the thousand groups of lasers, the energy consumed is burning money, the energy output of an acceleration, converted into money, it is equivalent to burning 120 million yuan, a one-way journey, energy consumption alone will cost about 1.6 billion yuan, and it is real money to burn.

With the help of the sun's gravitational pull in addition to a good gravitational acceleration, the 16.8 km long super giant sail, in addition to the outermost layer has a strong protective function, is also an important part of the solar energy, close to the sun is also an excellent opportunity to charge the spacecraft amethy crystal, 16.8 km long giant sail, its huge irradiation area can recover about 700 million yuan worth of energy from the sun, you know, the closer to the sun, its energy harvesting efficiency is higher, It's all recharge time before it's away from the sun.

In this way, killing two birds with one stone, indirectly controlling the energy cost consumed by acceleration to less than 1 billion yuan.

This time to Mars, the "Mars Express" brought the "Firefly" space station, and when it returns, it may return to Earth with a large number of amethy crystals. The "Mars Express" has undoubtedly become an excellent means of transportation for the current matrix technology to travel long distances between stars.

The realization of the "Mars Express" is thanks to the integration of high-tech in many aspects, and the laser technology from the Hades Axe base is a major key, and such a big breakthrough in the Hades Axe Base is obviously inseparable from the support of the state, you must know that the laser technology of the Republic is a typical rising star (ps: In reality, it is indeed true, it has long been ahead of the Yankees, and I am really proud. Thanks to the sharing of technology, the engineers of the Stygian Axe base do not have to waste a lot of time, energy, financial and material resources in order to catch up with the starting line.

In addition, the birth of the "Mars Express" also has a key point, namely: "sentry mission", the engineers of the sentry post in order to deal with the problem of asteroids that may hit the earth can be described as painstaking, some propose to use nuclear bombs, and some propose to use the impact method to change the orbit of the asteroid, nuclear explosion obviously does not work, it will only create a large number of meteorite showers, which is a more terrible disaster, not only to pose a huge threat to the earth's surface, but also to destroy a large number of artificial satellites or space stations operating in space orbit, The solution to the impact crisis of the nuclear asteroid in the film and television work is pure nonsense.

Among the countless schemes, the scheme of using light sails to "tow away" the meteorite is also among them, which is theoretically feasible, but the degree of difficulty is also prohibitive, and the amount of work is too large, although the country's laser technology has already been quite mature, the biggest obstacle is only the large size.

This news was soon learned by the person in charge of the "Mars mission", which gave them great inspiration, so the relatively "small" "Mars Express" was included in the research and development charter. The "Mars Express" was born in this way, and CMSX engineers even said that in the future, this long-distance and large-capacity space transportation vehicle can even undertake the huge idea of asteroid belt mining, and the use of "Mars Express" can completely transport minerals from the asteroid belt back to Earth.

And now, isn't it time to go to Mars to mine the precious Purple Source Crystal veins!

June 22, 2028, in orbit around Mars.

"Noah" finally arrived at the outer area of Mars orbit today, at this moment, the spacecraft has begun to slow down, is about to enter the gravitational field of Mars, the planet that haunts mankind is finally about to usher in the first visit of "brother......

"Slowdown! Stable! ”

"Noah has entered the gravitational field of Mars. Stable! ”

"The shipping lanes are being redesigned, and new shipping lanes are being adjusted!"

"The waterway is complete. The fairway test is complete! ”

"Noah has successfully entered a new course and is currently orbiting Mars, orbiting for 67 minutes and 38 seconds."

"Female ...... Sorry, no ladies. Okay guys, we have Mars under our feet...... We're here! ”

"No one can appreciate how painful it is to fulfill more than 200 days of interstellar fulfillment, waking up from sleep again and again, loneliness, remoteness, fear, oh God, no one will know how I feel! But when you look at the planet under your feet, you will find that it is all worth it. ”

"This is the Noah, Skovo. Audland reports to the Houston Space Center. We have successfully and safely reached our target Mars, and Noah is currently orbiting Mars stably and everything is normal. According to the schedule, in three days Jackson and I will be aboard the Orion spacecraft to represent humanity's first visit to this planet, and I wish us all the best, Houston, and the newsletter is complete. ”

"The message is out, and based on the current distance of Mars from Earth, Houston will receive the text message in about 19 minutes."

"Okay guys, we'll have a day to rest, a day to rest and prepare, and three days to land on the surface of Mars, but for now, I suggest you make a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful view of Mars through the window in the centrifugal cabin, unfortunately we can't see Olympus and Mariner Valley anymore, but we can see the masterpiece of the 'Terminator Asteroid' up close, the 'New Olympus'......"
