After a long 71-day journey, the Hawk Island's Yingfu-3 manned spacecraft finally entered Mars' low-earth orbit, and after a large deceleration in the early stage, lost two-thirds of its mass, and flew around Mars at 3.5km/s close to the first cosmic speed of Mars.

In their orbit around Mars, for the first time, with human eyes,

Saw the second highest peak in the solar system, Mount Olympia at 21,171 meters,

I saw the vast ocean of Mars,

I saw the utopian plain with a large number of rivers and lakes and the ocean, and I felt like a province of a thousand lakes.

saw the Mariner's Grand Canyon, which had been gradually filled with stagnant water,

I saw a lot of black vegetation that stretched for hundreds of miles,

Saw the migrating Martian fauna, at least tens of thousands......

They also saw the super-large brick Phobos......

It's so weird, it's not like a natural satellite at all, it's more like a man-made thing......

Although as astronauts, they know that because the mass is not enough to turn itself into a sphere, there are many small stars with strange shapes in the universe, and this shape is not particularly unusual.

Due to the close orbit of the two, the "Phobos" passed by it several times, and they could clearly understand that it was slowly rotating on the long axis of the slab brick.

Of course, it is said that it is a passing by, but in fact, it is more than 100 kilometers away, and with the quality of Deimos, it will basically not affect the operation of Yingfu 3.

In the midst of shock and excitement, seven astronauts identified the planned Mars landing site in the air through their instruments.

"All ready! Landing! Landing! ”

When the spacecraft flew over the Aldacia Plain, the captain Wang Donghong gave an order, and the spacecraft ignited again and adjusted its orbit.

Wang Donghong is a veteran astronaut of Hawker Island, only 28 years old this year, but extremely experienced, he participated in the first manned lunar landing on Hawke Island, but he did not land on the moon at that time, but stayed alone in the command module of lunar orbit.

Later, he landed on the moon several times, and there was a cumulative residency record on the moon for more than a year.

As the spacecraft continued to descend, Wang Donghong turned on the manual driving mode, opened the parachute, and used the thruster to slow down in reverse to combat the gravitational acceleration of Mars.

Mars has more than twice the gravitational pull of the Moon, but Mars now has a dense atmosphere that can be slowed down by parachute.

Finally, on the shores of the Martian Abyssal Sea, he found a suitable place for landing, piloted the Glowing Confusion 3, and landed steadily on Mars!

The exact landing time is 9:22:27 on July 8, 2031, Hawk Island time!

There was silence in the command center of Blue Star Hawk Island, and everyone was waiting quietly.

Since Mars is so far away from the blue star, even electromagnetic waves take 4-20 minutes to arrive.

So it wasn't until five minutes later that they heard Wang Donghong's radio sound waves:

"Hawke Island and the Blue Medisa launch center, here is the abyssal sea of Mars, east longitude: 112°23'17", north latitude: 31°54'27", and the landing of Yingfu-3 has been successful!

Hawke Island and the Blue Medisa launch center, here is the abyssal sea of Mars, east longitude: 112°23'17", north latitude: 31°54'27", and the landing of Yingfu 3 was successful! ”

A total of thousands of staff members at the Hawk Island command center suddenly erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers!

"It worked! It worked! We made history! ”

Countless people celebrated wildly, and many even cried with joy......

People outside say that Hawk Island has a scientific research group, as if it is easy to study everything.

Only they know how much effort they have put in in order to catch up with progress in the past few years.

In fact, most of the scientific research achievements of Hawk Island are made by them desperately, genius is of course very important, but such a huge scientific research project is not something that genius can do in a few flashes of inspiration!

Just as excited as they are are the 4.8 billion viewers around the world......

At this time, almost all those who have the conditions to observe the manned landing on Mars are watching the live broadcast.

Although the electromagnetic waves were "too slow" and there was a delay in the signal, what they saw was actually what happened five minutes ago......

Under the gaze of 4.8 billion viewers, five minutes ago, Wang Donghong, wearing the most advanced spacesuit, was the first to open the hatch of the spacecraft, pass the gangway, and set foot on the surface of Mars.

Wang Donghong, the astronaut of Hawker Island, left the first footprints of the Blue Star human on the surface of Mars!

Humanity has taken another big step!

"Great humanity! Great moment! ”

"Awesome (broken sound)!

！

！

！

！

！

！

！

！ ”

"It feels like I'm in a dream, I didn't expect to see this scene in my lifetime!"

"The people of Dongguo sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of Moxi sent a congratulatory message!"

"A congratulatory message from the people of Lucia!"

"Congratulatory message from the people of the emirate!"

"The people of the whole country sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of Zaza sent a congratulatory message!"

"The people of the United States sent a congratulatory message!"

"What a envy! Alas, our astronauts in the United States are estimated to have died in space......"

"The people of Fuso sent a congratulatory message!"

……

For a while, netizens from various countries, no matter what grievances they had before, congratulated Hawk Island in various languages at this moment.

This is not just a glorious moment for Hawk Island, but for all mankind!

In the atmosphere of global celebration, a situation suddenly appeared in the picture!

An animal the size of a calf suddenly breaks into the camera!

It's a black carapace with oversized eyes, and it's a very off-looking animal!

The most peculiar thing is that it does not have the limbs of a donkey, and under its body, there are three wheels!

There is also a pair of webbing that resemble the forelimbs of a seal, as well as a large tail.

"Wheelmon! It's the legendary Wheelmon! ”

"But this wheeled beast seems to have never been discovered before!"

"This guy is a bit like a donkey! Why don't you call it a donkey! ”

"Haha, dear astronaut classmates, are you surprised? Surprised? ”

……

The "wheeled donkey" did not attack the astronauts, but stared intently at the astronauts with its large, curious eyes.

From time to time, there is a cry of "baa ~~~~~ baa ~~~~~~~~~".

As if asking: "Dude, where did you come from, it's a bit raw......"

Now Mars has a dense atmosphere, and sound can be transmitted.

As a professional astronaut, Wang Donghong did not rashly interact with it, but stepped back and kept his distance from it.

However, the "wheeled donkey" seemed to want to see a little more clearly, and followed him all the time......

Every time he retreated, the "wheeled donkey" kicked the ground with the seal's forelimbs and tail, like a pedal, driving the wheels and moving forward a little......

Always keep a distance of less than 3 meters.

The ground isn't particularly smooth, but it's light to move.

This is probably because the gravitational force of Mars is relatively small, so the friction on the wheels is very small.

Its wheels, somewhat similar to off-road vehicle tires, prevent skidding.

The kangaroo-like tail and the pair of wings can both accelerate and brake urgently.

According to the simulation test of the Hawk Island Academy of Sciences, this wheeled animal, which can travel up to 140 yards on the ice, is faster than the fastest cheetah on the Blue Star, and lasts longer, almost like a car.

So they speculated that the ancestors of this creature may have lived on the ice of ancient Mars for a long time to evolve this form......

Wang Donghong was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to retreat, so he could only stand still.

He was still holding the Big Dipper flag of Hawk Island in his hand, and he was originally going to plant the flag of Hawk Island on Mars......

The "wheeled donkey" also stopped in place, motionless, staring at Wang Donghong with big eyes.

I didn't blink an eyelid.

No, it doesn't have eyelids at all, and the eyes of Martian creatures don't seem to have eyelids.

It's a little weird and it's funny......

No one expected that the first time humans landed on Mars, they would encounter such a scene.

One man and one beast, just like that, stalemate lasted for nearly an hour.

The world's 4.8 billion viewers also watched it for an hour.

No, it was 4.8 billion at first, and then it rose to 5.9 billion......

At first, the audience was confused and a little panicked, because the "wheeled donkey" looked more than 200 kilograms, and if it attacked the astronauts, it could cause fatal injuries to the astronauts who were not very convenient to move in spacesuits......

No one wants to see the first astronaut on Mars killed by a Martian animal......

But it turned out later that this "wheeled donkey" seemed a bit silly and did not pose any threat to the astronauts.

So the atmosphere gradually became cheerful.

"Another famous scene was born, and I swear that this video will be the hottest video in the world this year......"

"Haha, I'm laughing to death! This donkey is so funny! ”

"I think this donkey is a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere......"

"Eyes of wisdom!"

……

Finally, another astronaut scares the wheeled beast away with a special laser pointer.

The Martian donkey ran away in its tricycle......

The speed is about 30 yards.

In fact, they carry a lot of weapons against Martian animals, but they cannot be used lightly unless they are absolutely necessary.

They were asked to avoid contact with large Martian animals as much as possible to avoid unnecessary injury, or to cause viral contagion.

After all, during the Age of Discovery, the viruses brought by the Old Continent brought extinction to the aborigines.

So in this regard, the Hawk Island Space Agency has clear rules to ensure that the virus does not threaten the safety of either party until it is confirmed safe......

Despite carrying a large amount of fuel and decelerating and decelerating, the Glow-3 spacecraft weighed a full 90 tons, measuring 30 meters in diameter and 7 meters in height, the size of a small cottage.

If the solar wings are deployed, the diameter can reach 60 meters......

It's not just a spacecraft, it's also the initial base for 7 astronauts on Mars.

Because of the Martian window, they will be here for at least 26 months or so......

Of course, there will be many cargo ships in the future, providing them with new experimental equipment and supplies.

A closed super-Mars ecosystem is also under construction, but the most optimistic estimates are that it will be a year before it can be officially used.

I have to say that this time the manned landing on Mars is still relatively dangerous.

But they are not afraid at all, after all, they are the elite carefully selected among tens of millions of volunteers, representing Hawk Island and humanity, and they don't care about this danger compared to the supreme glory.

What could be more proud of than being able to become the first human beings to land on Mars and realize the dreams of mankind for hundreds of years?

……

After experiencing a small episode, Wang Donghong successfully planted the Big Dipper flag on Hawk Island in the Martian soil.

Within a few tens of minutes, the weather, which had been empty, suddenly became cloudy and began to rain lightly......

The cold wind from the abyssal sea of Mars blew up, blowing the Big Dipper flag with a bang.

Wang Donghong and others can also feel the cold of the Martian sea breeze through the spacesuit.

Due to the extremely high concentration of carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere, the rain on Mars contains a large amount of dissolved carbon dioxide, that is, carbonic acid, and the rainwater is relatively acidic, but carbonic acid is a weak acid, and the pH value will not be lower than 5.6, so it is not acid rain and will not pose a threat to life.

The ultra-high concentration of carbon dioxide has also caused more frequent rainfall on Mars, and the Carney flood event in the Blue Star is said to be due to the volcanic eruption that released a large amount of carbon dioxide, resulting in 2 million years of rain......

However, Mars has much less water than Blue Star, and the current ocean area is not more than 30%, which is not enough to form precipitation of that scale, and the high concentration of carbon dioxide accelerates the water cycle, which is a good thing for life on Mars......

The first mission of Wang Donghong and other astronauts was to collect samples of Martian organisms and carry out experiments and research in the experimental module of the spacecraft.

The other four, including Wang Donghong, are also high-achieving students.

They are all-rounders who have mastered a variety of skills, including but not limited to medical, planting, farming, fitness nutrition, hairdressing, cooking, mechanical repair, electrician, and countless others......

Otherwise, how could it be possible to stand out among the tens of millions of volunteers......

The study of Martian life is their current key task, and many of the sciences in human history are based on the characteristics of the blue star creatures themselves, and many unique characteristics of Martian life may bring new breakthroughs to human science and technology.

For example, the most famous dehydration and resurrection attribute of life on Mars may be the key to mankind's unlocking of "hibernation" technology and immortal technology.

Whoever can get the first step will get a huge advantage.

In fact, not only are they researching, but in this Martian window, the unmanned Mars lander launched by Hawk Island has quietly returned to Blue Star with a large number of samples of Martian seawater, minerals and other Martian organisms.

It will bring the samples back to the Hawk Island space station and lunar base, where more Hawke Island scientists will study them.

However, they also have the advantage of being able to study living creatures, especially large ones.

For example, spirit people.

This is also one of the main goals of their trip.

……

The successful landing of humans on Mars has made people all over the world happy.

But Chu Xiaoyao was not very happy.

At first, she was also very happy, until one day when she was live broadcasting, a fan posted a picture of an emoji.

On the left is her stunned emoji during a previous live broadcast, and on the right is the expression of the "Martian donkey" staring at astronaut Wang Donghong......

The eyes can't be said to be very similar, only exactly the same......

Fans are very intimate with the text: different species, the same intelligent eyes......

She was dying of rage.

The most angry thing is not that others laugh at her, but that she herself feels very similar......

This emoji has even spread to the Internet, and netizens all over the world have seen it......
