Chapter 402 Landing on Mars
“Around the alien base, we have seven scheduled landing locations.”
"Site No. 1 is very flat and has no obstruction around it. It has the longest light time among the seven landing sites, but no shallow groundwater was detected. It is estimated that the possibility of groundwater at a deeper level is 23%, and short-term landing is optional."
"There is a mountain next to the No. 2 location, which has a certain resistance to sandstorm weather, but the corresponding light time is reduced, and there is also no shallow groundwater. However, the possibility of deep groundwater is 78%, so long-term bases can be considered."
"There is also a mountain next to site 3. The detector detected a cave or lava pipeline there. If a long-term base is built there, it can be highly resistant to cosmic radiation and solar storms. Unfortunately, it is extremely drought there, and even the possibility of deep groundwater exists."
"The location of No. 4 is mountainous and has few flat terrain, but according to the detection of the detector, it can be seen that there is a shallow-underground lake there, and there may be high concentration of brine..."
When the Spore flew to Mars, the preparatory landing location had already begun to be selected.
There are orbital probes launched before, so the pilot is quite familiar with the latest situation on Mars.
Because the mission they perform is related to aliens, the landing location cannot be too far from the location where the aliens are located.
For such a long time, the aliens seemed to have no intention of transfer and kept wandering around the original landing site. Therefore, according to the alien's range of activities, several more suitable landing sites were selected around the surrounding area.
The final confirmation of the landing location is only the landing location of this mission, not the final base construction location. After all, you can tell that their needs are different by listening to the name.
Of course, if you can choose a landing point that is suitable for multiple tasks, then it will naturally be more. After all, the cost of space exploration is too high. If you can complete multiple tasks at once, it will undoubtedly be the most cost-effective.
Unfortunately, this time it seems that it is not possible. Choosing and contacting aliens is a temporary mission, so the flat terrain is the most suitable location.
Not only is there a flat landing place there, but even the route to the alien landing point is extremely flat. There is only a small hill blocking the two places in the middle, which is very suitable for driving over.
Manned aircraft in the atmosphere of Mars are not that easy to manufacture. Even if they are manufactured, they can’t carry a few of them in their current situation, so driving is more simple and convenient.
The Spore orbited at a constant speed in Mars orbit. Tang Chao nodded at the satellite map of the landing site of No. 1 displayed on the large screen, "Then release a landing probe and observe the landing site at close range. The satellite map has never been close to the close reconnaissance clearly."
"clear."
The cockpit of the spacecraft can control the entire spacecraft. Even if the non-pressurized warehouse is outside the comprehensive experimental cabin behind, a few buttons can complete the overall release operation. Unless something goes wrong, you need to go to the back for manual release.
The operator performed the operation, the non-pressurized warehouse was opened, and the fixture was gently sent out, releasing a Mars lander.
This is the first time Spore has released equipment in Mars orbit. After all, the pilot has launched many detectors here before. The detectors can relay information to each other and do not even use relay satellites, so ordinary orbital detection equipment does not need to be released again.
The landing detector quickly landed towards the predetermined location. As the landing point got closer, the pictures sent by the detector began to become different from satellite images and became clearer.
When we arrived at the landing site 30 meters above, the detector entered the hovering stage. Because it was hovering, the shooting distance remained unchanged, so the photos taken were clear.
This detector did not fly directly from the earth, so it carried a lot of landing fuel, which made its hovering time slightly longer for 30 meters.
This not only allows you to see if there are any pits on the landing ground, but then move a little to avoid them, it can also turn around the landing ground, detect more areas in the air thirty meters high, and mark the best landing position.
After it landed smoothly, it used solid collision equipment to detect the surrounding geological structure and found that it was surrounded by solid solid ground, with only a layer of floating soil on the surface, and there was nothing collapsed when pressed or cracked when touched, and then it began to send signals to guide the landing craft to land.
Upon receiving this signal, everyone in the spacecraft smiled, and Tang Chao also curled his lips, "Okay, let's go!"
With Tang Chao taking the lead, everyone in the cockpit got up one after another, then took two steps to turn off the electromagnetic boots, and then drifted towards the entrance and exit of the passage with one force.
This time, six people will take a landing craft to Mars, and four people will stay on the spacecraft to take care of it. Of course, the rules are two-way systems.
Four of the six people who landed were equipped with guns. Tang Chao was the "diplomatic ambassador" this time, and he could not negotiate with aliens with a gun on his back.
When they pass through the central axis of the spacecraft and reach the node compartment, they adjust the direction and float towards the power armor fixed to the "floor" and the armor on the back.
The node compartment on the Spore is not the node compartment on the previous small space station. It has a diameter of 12 meters. In addition to several airlock compartments with interfaces, the middle part itself is an outgoing equipment compartment where astronauts can wear out outgoing space suits, space maneuvering devices, safety ropes, etc.
Tang Chao took the lead and immediately stepped into the mechanical feet of the power armor. He made two "clicks" sounds and his feet were fixed.
Then, as soon as your legs and waist were pressed, the whole person was put into the power armor, and your hands were put into the robot's hand. The five-finger fingerprint touch gloves were tested internally, and the wrist was also fixed.
Finally, he drilled his head into his helmet and he was ready.
“No. 001 power protective clothing starts!”
"Voiceprint, fingerprint verification is passed, protective clothing is activated, and armor is closed."
"KaKaKa~"
The others' movements were the same as him, so for a moment, a dense voice prompt and the sound of armor closing sounds came from the equipment compartment.
Look, who is dressed in this way in space suits?
Whose spacesuit has such voice prompts?
Whose space suits dress like this?
This is how Tang Chao’s space suits are.
However, human "space suits" do not call themselves space suits, but power protective suits.
But, there is a power assist system, so there is no problem with this "power".
Moreover, these armors can not only protect bullets, but also protect micrometeorites, space garbage and high-energy rays, so there is no problem with "protection".
In the end, this "suit" looked at the hard protective armor, and actually... it was okay.
After all, the bulletproof vest also has the word "cloth", but steel plates and ceramic plates are inserted inside. Only when these things are installed can it be considered a complete version of the bulletproof vest.
After the dressing is finished, the fixture is unlocked, and the foot electromagnetic adsorption device of the power protective clothing is activated, which still allows the protective clothing to stand firmly on the floor.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong~"
Four combatants walked to the firearm equipment cabinet on the side wearing power protective suits. Press the password, the cabinet door opened and the electromagnetic rifle was revealed.
Although they are combatants, the electromagnetic rifle does not have to be held in their hands all the time, so they took out the electromagnetic rifle and put it directly behind them, and the electromagnetic rifle will be absorbed.
The electromagnetic rifle originally had electromagnetic, but it was after it was turned on. When it was not turned on, it was just a lump of iron. There was an electromagnetic adsorption node on the back of the power protective clothing, and it went up as soon as it was sucked.
The preparations were completed, because the landing craft was pressurized in advance, so you could just open the airlock cabin and the parking cabin door and walk in.
The manned cabin of the Mars landing craft is large enough, so they have a luxurious staircase, and they can walk down the stairs safely with their electromagnetic boots directly.
The manned cabin is divided into two levels, and the upper floor is the cockpit. Because the stairs occupy space, there are various display screens and operating tables, there are only two drivers. The lower floor is a cabin, which can accommodate eight people.
Everyone finished sitting, and the Captain Don - the Captain of the Spores - the Ambassador of Human Diplomacy - the Commander-in-Chief of Operations - the Master of the Mars Landing Cabinet, activated the departure mode of the landing craft and left the spacecraft and landed towards Mars.
During the landing process, the interface protective cover is closed, and the engine starts to slow down, passes through the thin Martian atmosphere, and gradually moves into the already-explored landing point.
