"What news?" Ren Hong asked curiously.

"The American Noah has just entered the high-altitude orbit of Mars and sent the news back to Earth. NASA then announced the news and its follow-up actions, according to the newsletter from the headquarters." Shockeri said, looking at the time, and added: "According to the time on board, the Americans will be 53 hours later, and the two crew members of the 'Noah', Skovo and Jackson, will take the 'Orion' spacecraft for the first manned landing on Mars."

As he spoke, Shockery sighed: "If there are no accidents, the first human to land on Mars will be an American. I am still a little unwilling. The first person to land on the moon was snatched by the Americans, and the first person on Mars was also snatched by them." Going, it's really uncomfortable, our current level of space technology is obviously stronger than that of the Americans."

"It's just a false name, what's so uncomfortable about it." Ren Hong laughed, seemingly indifferent.

But Shockery didn't think so: "Although that's the case, this is an achievement that will definitely be recorded in the annals of human history. It has a huge influence. Armstrong's footprints and his words, one small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind, are all over the world. It is widely circulated among humans. I don’t know how Americans will show off this time.”

However, Ren Hong said: "What is real influence? Real influence needs to be supported by real strength. We are pragmatic. We are here to seek truth and not to seek fame. You have to figure this out, Ah Rui. Besides, the title of the first person on Mars has been taken off by the Americans, but there are more first titles waiting for us, Jupiter, Saturn and their satellites, as long as the strength is there, the gold content of these first titles It will only be higher than Mars but not lower, but the most important thing is that we have traveled long distances and risked the torture of dozens of accelerations and decelerations. We didn’t come here to make a name for ourselves, understand.”

"It would be nice if there was something wrong with Laomei's 'Orion' and it fell." Shockery muttered.

When Ren Hong heard this, his original pleasant smile turned into a serious expression. He stared at Xiao Kerui and warned with a solemn tone: "Ari, I don't like your way of thinking, it's very bad. Putting aside national boundaries and standing at the height of the entire civilization , any interstellar pioneer is great, no matter which country he not only represents his country but also human beings. Even if he doesn’t say he is so tall, he can’t curse others behind his back with such a narrow mind, he can cause problems We can ignore and refuse even when we have the ability to lend a helping hand. This is our right without self-blame. But we also have no right to interfere with others. What others do is their business, our own You have to abide by the principles you should have.”

Ren Hong's tone was not very serious, but Xiao Kerui still felt embarrassed, scratched his head and didn't know how to respond. At this moment, the public frequency announcer on the ship sounded:

"Attention all units and all crew members,

The final 45-minute countdown, the spacecraft will undergo the last acceleration, all crew members please stop all related activities immediately..."

Ren Hong glanced at the announcer, and suddenly said with a sad face: "Oh, it's time to torture people again, let's go boy, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get the nest ready for a long sleep, you want Let the acceleration stick you to the wall?"

With that said, Ren Hong got up and walked away. Every time the spaceship was about to accelerate, the whole spaceship was full of complaints. The spaceship was about to accelerate for the last time. It stands to reason that everyone should cheer, at least this One last time to be tortured by acceleration, indeed.

But just think that after the acceleration ends, 15 times of deceleration will also be performed in the next time, so that when the spacecraft reaches the range of the gravitational field of Mars, the speed will drop to the value range at the stage of departure from the earth. This is another 15 times of torture. Thinking that there are 15 more times, no one can cheer.

Ren Hong was bored thinking about this kind of thing that he spends money to make himself suffer, he looks like a masochist.

Having said that, although there are 30 times of torture, it is not without rewards. The spaceship Ren Hong and the others are in can also continue to accelerate slightly for a long time like the "Noah", but the corresponding cost is more than 200 days Time is wasted on the voyage that can’t do anything, and if Ren Hong and the others travel to Mars in the same way as the “Noah” based on the relative distance between the earth and Mars before departure, it will mean that it will take more than 800 days to reach Mars .

30 times of torture can be exchanged for more than 700 days of precious time, which is worth it no matter what.

The old Americans don't even have the chance to be tortured.

45 minutes later, the front engine on the "Mars Express" started, thousands of lasers and hundreds of thousands of laser beams irradiated on the light sail, and the slowly decelerating spacecraft accelerated again.

The reason why the spacecraft is slowing down very little at this moment is because of the solar wind. The "Mars Express" did not put away the light sail, and the front engine stopped the energy output, so the solar wind will naturally use the huge light sail Forcing the spaceship to slow down, hesitating to use the third layer of the light sail to obtain energy from the sun during this period of time, so the multi-layer structure of the light sail cannot be put away.

After the front engine is in operation, part of the thrust produced counteracts the resistance from the solar wind, and begins to accelerate forward...

...

June 25, 2028. Mars high-altitude orbit, "Noah" time on board: 15:36.

"9...8...7..." A crew member reads the countdown while controlling the "Noah". The "Orion" spacecraft at the head of the spacecraft, Skovo and Jackson are getting ready.

"... 2... 1 hull separated!"

In the quiet Mars parking orbit, the "Orion" spacecraft was officially separated from the "Noah", and the "Orion" spacecraft carrying two crew members who landed on the surface of the planet began to cut into the atmosphere of Mars.

The spacecraft entered the atmosphere of Mars at a speed of 19,300 kilometers per hour, and the outside of the hull quickly became hot and deformed. This is a normal phenomenon, but it is not as serious as the earth, because the atmosphere of Mars is thin and the gravity of the planet is not as good as that of the earth. The "Orion" spacecraft entered the atmosphere of Mars at super high speed. Due to atmospheric friction, the temperature on the outside of the heat shield outside the hull was almost the same as the temperature on the surface of the sun, reaching more than 1450 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, the heat shield protected the inside of the spacecraft. The temperature is only about 20 degrees Celsius of normal temperature.

Over time, the velocity of the first stage of the Orion spacecraft dropped thousands of kilometers per hour. The spacecraft continued to descend, and the height difference became smaller and smaller. At this time, a huge parachute was opened, and the spacecraft further decelerated.

At this moment, the reverse thrust nozzle of the "Orion" spacecraft has adjusted its angle, but the speed of the spacecraft's landing is still very fast. If it hits the surface of the planet, it will also be the result of the ship being destroyed.

The height gap is getting smaller and smaller, and has dropped to a three-digit height. Just when the spacecraft was about to hit the surface of Mars, the three groups of nozzles spurted out tongues of fire in an instant, creating a sky full of dust in the Pezos highlands in an instant, and the reverse thrust continued to offset the speed of the spacecraft.

In the end, the "Orion" spacecraft was only a few tens of centimeters away from the surface of Mars, and the flames from the three sets of engine nozzles disappeared instantly. Once the engines were turned off, the spacecraft that had lost its thrust was pulled by gravity on the spot, and it collided heavily with the surface of Mars. I was motionless.

The two astronauts in the spacecraft felt a relatively strong vibration and then returned to stability.

"It's here?" Skovo said suspiciously, but his teammates didn't respond, and he replied: "It should be here!"

The two looked at each other in blank dismay for more than ten seconds, and the next moment they burst out laughing excitedly.
