[Chapter 576: Red Eagle System]

……

In this joint landing operation, both sides sent personnel, a total of nine armed tactical teams, Yang Licheng was the supreme operational commander, and Blake was the commander. Sidon is the deputy commander, the nine-member Sino-American mixed armed tactical team is composed of five Chinese and four Americans, Xiaozhuang is the main pilot of the manned lander, and "Wang Jiang" is Ren Hong and Aislin, who are also involved as scientists.

The landing on the Pezos Heights consisted of a team of fourteen people.

Ren Hong's new discovery brought everyone together again for an impromptu meeting, and the original mission action plan was adjusted, delaying the landing operation for several hours, but fortunately there was no problem.

After 30 hours, the landing operation officially began.

Ren Hong and other members of the planet landing completed the third assembly, under the leadership of Ning Zebo, everyone walked out of the centrifugal capsule and came to another space capsule, fifteen people were all wearing tight short sleeves and pants, and drifted forward in the main passage module of the "Firefly Space Station".

There are a lot of windows in the middle, and many people look into outer space through the windows, and they can see that there are two huge aircraft in front of them are fixed by a truss more than 30 meters long, the diameter of the truss is 3.7 meters wide, this is a hollow passage, is the corridor into the aircraft.

At this moment, the two trusses are more than 60 meters long, and two aircraft are fixed respectively, rotating slowly on the main module truss of the "Firefly Space Station".

The two spacecraft have a unified official name, namely: Space Orbit and Planetary Launch Vehicle, the model is the first generation (first generation), and the two spacecraft also have their own independent code names, namely "Red Eagle-001" and "Red Eagle-002".

As the name suggests, the appearance of the two "Red Eagle Series" vehicles is mirrored with the color of the Martian surface, the whole body is red copper, the shape is elongated, and the spacecraft has three views, the side-view spacecraft looks like a parallelogram outline, the front-facing spacecraft looks like a subsquare outline, and the top-view spacecraft looks like a triangular outline.

The Americans who came here found a very interesting thing, the Chinese seem to have a soft spot for the "eagle" for the naming of the big guy who can fly, including weapons and missiles, such as the anti-ship missile "Eagle Strike system", including the power armor "Eagle of the Republic" that is currently famous all over the world, the nine air and space transport aircraft "Arc Eagle series" produced by CMSX, and the current landing vehicle "Red Eagle series" and so on.

When everyone arrived at the last corner, Ning Zebo stood still at the corner, and Commander Yang Licheng took the lead in leading everyone through the truss passage more than 30 meters long.

On the way, an American astronaut couldn't help but ask, "Sir Yang, I'm curious about how this spacecraft landed?" ”

"You'll find out right away." Yang Licheng smiled slightly, opened the hatch and took the lead in entering the spacecraft, and everyone came to the cabin of the "Red Eagle-002" one by one.

Xiaozhuang had already entered the cab with his deputy, and the eleven people in the core cabin sat on the two rows of seats in the cabin according to the serial number and fixed and fastened the safety bolt, and a two-row six-pair twelve-wheeled rover and three containers were fixed in the center of the cabin.

The members seated in both rows were also isolated from each other by the cargo box in the middle and the rover.

The carrying capacity of the "Red Eagle-002" has reached an astonishing 70 tons, and all the members of the landing have arrived, but dozens of empty seats are still vacant in the two rows of the engine room, and this spacecraft can transport up to 40 members and four pairs of containerized cargo at one time, or without transporting personnel, the interior of the engine room can be loaded with seven pairs of containerized cargo after simple modifications, with a maximum load capacity of 73 tons.

This time, the spacecraft carried only about 40 tons, which is far from the maximum carrying tonnage.

Twenty minutes later, the "Red Hawk-002" vehicle officially separated from the space station and began to "crash" into the Martian atmosphere.

On the Martian skyline, I saw the huge "Red Eagle-002" like a streamer of light across the sky.

"Why do you want to go down with a rover?" Aisling, the only woman sitting next to Ren Hong, endured the discomfort caused by the slowdown and asked.

"Because, the landing point is some distance from the Pezos area." Ren Hong replied.

"I don't understand what you mean." Aisling shook her head.

"Well, because there is no good enough empty landing strip in the Pezos area, the 'Red Eagle' will make a hard landing on the flat sand 22 kilometers away from Pezos, well, it's the same as the Airbus landing strip, so you can understand it this way." Ren Hong said.

As soon as the words fell, some of the old beauties who heard it turned their heads to look at him, "What??" ”

"It's time to land!" Ren Hong ignored the surprised old beauties, but looked up at a crystal panel showing the distance between the spacecraft and the ground, and the old beauties suddenly became nervous, and subconsciously clenched their seats.

Ren Hong saw the surprised and nervous looks of his partners, and comforted him with a smile: "Relax guys, the 'Red Eagle series' transport ship has super environmental adaptability, you can think of the 'Red Eagle 2' as the American C-130A transport aircraft, the design concept of this transport ship is obtained from the C-130A, obviously, the adaptability of the C-130 series transport aircraft is the best choice." ”

"I see."

Americans are no strangers to their own C-130 series transport aircraft, the original model can be traced back to the last century, the carrying capacity of this transport aircraft may be average, but its biggest highlight is the adaptability to harsh environments, being able to take off and land at will on the beach, grass, sand and other environments, as long as it is flat, as long as it is open enough, it is its runway, compared with other pampered large aircraft, the C-130 series is simply perfect, and it is also the favorite of the US military, The retirement of the C-130 once made Lao Mei sad for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese's Mars landing vehicle actually referred to the C-130 series transport aircraft, but it was also a little surprising.

Pezos region.

"Red Hawk-002" is already less than 500 meters away from the surface of Mars, but its speed is still staggering, exceeding the speed of sound, the Martian atmosphere is thin, not fast enough, such a large plane is out of control every minute.

However, the "Red Eagle" is about to arrive at the scheduled landing area, and it must be time to land immediately.

At the same time as the spacecraft began to slow down, multiple sub-engines in the belly of the spacecraft frantically sprayed tongues of fire to push the huge spacecraft upward, causing the "Red Eagle 2" to slow down and still descend horizontally and steadily.
