Chapter 73 – Earth observation

“Captain, we can find a place to land!” Su Peng said.

“Okay.” Du Xingyu finished his work and said to everyone: “Everyone, before preparing to land, let’s take a photo together!”

“Mars, here we are!” In the camera, the members of the Mars mission team shouted with smiles on their faces.

Du Xingyu recorded the video and sent it to his “trembling voice” short video account.

At station B, his fans are already number one on the site and cannot break through anymore. In order to gain more energy points, Du Xingyu registered the hottest vibrato short video account, with the ID called “Earth Observation”, and published himself ‘S first video.

The boring fragmented time to scan short videos has become a habit of many people.

In front of the bus stop, Xiao Wang, an office worker, was watching short videos while waiting for the bus. He blankly swiped through a bunch of videos of young ladies. Suddenly, when he saw a video, his eyes glowed and he became excited.

“This is Du Xingyu’s Dousheng account? Is Du Xingyu activated?”

In the short video, there is not much content, only Du Xingyu’s short self-introduction: “Hello everyone, I am Du Xingyu, next to my team members, after thirty-nine days of space voyage, we have reached Mars.”

“We will land on Mars soon.”

“Mars, here we are!” A group of team members shouted to the camera.

“It’s them! They’re going to Mars!” Xiao Wang excitedly clicked like, and quickly left a message: “First!”

It’s a pity that within a second of his message, thousands of similar comments appeared in the comment area.

“Du Xingyu stationed in shaking voice? Haha, pay attention in seconds!”

“Come on!”

“Oh, my god, see who did I get?”

“Isn’t this account Earth Observation? Why is it observing Mars?”

“Are you going to land on Mars? Please update! Why is there no live broadcast on the Internet?”

The delay between Mars and Earth is too high, and the signal is sometimes unstable, so Du Xingyu naturally cannot live broadcast.

Du Xingyu’s Dousheng fans are skyrocketing, and the increase is as high as hundreds of thousands in one minute, but at this moment, he has no time to pay attention to these.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“We have adjusted our position and we are expected to land in three minutes!” Du Xingyu’s voice was sent to the Changhai Command Center four minutes and 45 seconds ago, which means that when He Jingcheng and others heard the sound, they were already there. The landing operation is in progress.

“Finally landing!” In the command center, He Jingcheng cheered up and stared at the screen intently.


In the northern hemisphere of Mars, over a lava plain, the Enchanted Mars spacecraft is slowing down and landing.

“The ion thruster has been closed, the extended structure of the spacecraft has shrunk, and the nuclear thermal thruster has begun to slow down. The density of the atmosphere here is only one percent of that of the earth. Our deceleration needs to be adjusted…” In the spacecraft, everyone is constantly adjusting The position and speed, the spacecraft retracted to a “rocket-like” shape.



“The height is one kilometer, the deceleration is complete, and the terrain below is flat and you can land.”

The Yinghuo spacecraft landed slowly and landed on the ground by the reverse thrust of the tail thruster. The automatic support at the bottom automatically adjusted the height, inserted into the soil and rocks and fixed it to ensure that the spacecraft would not tip over.

“Report to the command center, the landing is complete, we are ready to land!” Du Xingyu stood up and said to everyone in the cabin: “Shen Yan, Jiao Mengyun, you stay in the cabin for the time being, responsible for contact and command, the rest of them will go out with me and explore the surroundings. environment of.”

“Yes!” Everyone had already put on their spacesuits, ready to leave the cabin.

At this time, the miniature camera on the spacesuit will record these images and pass them to the command center.

Countless people on earth will witness this moment together, the first time mankind landed on Mars!

“Open the cabin door!” Du Xingyu stood in front of the connecting cabin door, activated the button, and the cabin door slowly opened, and the sun shining on his face again. A piece of scarlet sand and stone Gobi!

This is the Chris Plain of Mars, with a low altitude, flat terrain, close to the Martian equator, long daylight hours and high solar altitude, suitable for missions by landing teams.

Du Xingyu stepped on the sand on the surface of Mars. The camera recorded this moment. Maybe it will be published in the history textbooks of various countries in the future.

“Put the red flag!” Xu Lianqiu took the red flag and inserted it under the sand. It was hunted and hunted by the wind of Mars!

This photo was also sent back to the Earth Command Center. When the red flag was flying, He Jingcheng and others felt tears in their eyes.

Finally one day, the footprints and red flags of Chinese people were printed on the surface of Mars, and it was the first in the world!

Du Xingyu looked around. The landing point they chose was very empty, with only sand and brown rocks.

“Put the modular robot and explore the geology!” Du Xingyu commanded.

From the Martian spacecraft, one by one small modular robots were put down. They were activated one by one, ran in all directions, and began to use ultrasound to survey the surrounding environment.

The astronauts are carrying various materials and preparing to build a Mars base.

It is about nine o’clock in the morning on a Martian day, and a day on Mars is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds. Because the atmosphere is thin and unable to retain the sun’s heat, the temperature here is below zero degrees Celsius even in sunny daytime.

At night, the temperature will drop to minus seven or eighty degrees, which is a very dangerous temperature for humans on earth.

So before the night comes, Du Xingyu and others will return to the Enigma to rest until they have completed the construction of the Mars base.

At this time, the ground command center had already received the video footage of their landing.

The moment Du Xingyu walked out of the landing module and Xu Lianqiu planted the red flag, everyone in the command center cheered!

“We successfully landed on Mars! The first in the world!” the members of the Mars mission team shouted.

“We set a record in 39 days, and we reached Mars in 39 days!” Zhang Yan said excitedly, “From then on, the distance between the Earth and Mars will no longer be limited by the so-called orbital window! Spacecraft launch, too There is no need to follow Hohmann’s transfer track!”

“Good job!” Liu Yuan wrinkled and stretched out and laughed aloud.

“Congratulations, when you come back, all of our astronauts will celebrate for you!” He Jingcheng suppressed his excitement and said to the communicator, “Now, build a base as soon as possible!”

The images they celebrated were also captured by cameras and appeared in real-time news.

National TV Station: “A temporary news was broadcast at the scene. At 9:08 am in the northern hemisphere of Chris Plain, the Chinese Mars mission team successfully landed on Mars. Captain Du Xingyu and Deputy Captain Su Peng led the team to conduct geological exploration… We are the world’s No. A country landing on Mars!”
