Technology Bigshot Chapter 560: : Red Alert]
……
Fifty-eight days later.
Ren Hong and others' 91-day journey to Mars is coming to an end. In this 2184-hour long journey, starting from the earth and 2184 hours of voyage, they have traveled between the stars for 3.97 hours billions of kilometers.
Ren Hong and other crew members and 11 adventurers representing China also took advantage of the opportunity to break the longest single voyage in human history, winning a new record in one fell swoop!
The last time the spacecraft slowed down was over a day ago. All the crew cheered and prepared a hearty meal, a rare luxury. These foods may be nothing on Earth, but hundreds of millions across the stars Kilometers are delivered here, such a meal is indeed a luxury.
To celebrate finally being free from the torment of gravitational acceleration and the planet outside the window that everyone's dreaming about, the double happiness is of course a good celebration. Now the outline of Mars can be clearly seen with the naked eye. Looking from the spacecraft, Mars is larger than the moon in the night sky on Earth, and the spacecraft at this moment is only 600,000 kilometers away from Mars, although it is still It is very far away, but compared to the distance of more than 400 million kilometers, it is really close at hand.
The spacecraft is currently moving steadily and is expected to enter high-altitude orbit around Mars in 28 hours.
Li Xingfeng is the commander of the entire spaceship. In other words, he is the boss here, and the other 10 people have to obey him.
Looking from the boundless starry sky, the entire spacecraft looks like a flat boat. In front of the most eye-catching 16.8-kilometer light sail, the huge "Firefly" space station also looks small.
In the area where the "Firefly" space station is located, in the centrifuge compartment, in addition to some of the people in charge of extraordinary operation and maintenance, six or seven people are surrounding, including Commander Li Xingfeng and Ren Hong.
People are discussing the next work.
"There is still a little more than a day before we will reach the orbit of Mars." Li Xingfeng, the commander, first said, Ren Hong is listed as a scientist "Wang Jiang", and he can only do more about this kind of matter. Stay aside and listen in.
Li Xingfeng said, looking at several of the best astronauts who were carefully selected, and said: "The next work and tasks are very important, we have no experience, we are here for the first time. , is a real pioneer, with great glory and many difficulties, all tasks are to move forward in exploration and exploration, and there is no room for sloppy, we must remember and abide by the generalizations of our generations in practical experience. And the spirit of spaceflight summed up, pass on this inheritance from generation to generation!"
"Our spaceflight spirit is..." Li Xingfeng growled.
Except for Ren Hong, several astronauts present unhesitatingly and tacitly said in unison: "Self-reliance, hard work, vigorous coordination, selfless dedication, rigorous pragmatism, and courage to climb!!!"
The commander nodded with satisfaction, everyone was full of energy and energy.
Li Xingfeng called up a spotlight display, which was a map of the surface of Mars and related information, he continued: "All the comrades here are going to land on Mars, the next mission is very critical, and I will repeat it here again. Our three major steps. In 40 hours, we will launch a manned landing on Mars, and the landing site is here, located in this low-lying area near 'New Olympus', code-named 'Wind Slope'."
Everyone looked at the position indicated by the commander's big hand, and Ren Hong was also looking at it. The location of "Blast Hump" is very special. It is an excellent landing site. It is also a natural haven for setting up a Mars outpost base. Seventeen kilometers away from the northeast is the corner of the "Terminator" asteroid. The distance is not very far, which is conducive to the opening of the amethyst spar, and the low-lying area can avoid the ravages of the dust storm on the surface of Mars.
A series of conditions means that the dust storms that often raging on the surface of Mars have relatively little impact on the area of the "wind ridge", plus the distance from the amethyst crystal is less than 20 kilometers, which is undoubtedly an excellent landing point And the outpost base to set up a point, and they did choose here.
"Our three major steps are very clear." Li Xingfeng said: "The first step is to complete the Mars landing, the second step to complete the construction of the Mars base, and the third step to mine ore. We have to complete these three tasks within 45 days. Indicators, do you have confidence, comrades?"
"Guaranteed to get the job done!"
Just as Li Xingfeng held a temporary mobilization meeting, he just said here, a crew member came here, "Commander, a red emergency message came from the headquarters, ordering us to suspend all operations to land on the surface of Mars, and the spacecraft orbits around Mars. Surround, no logins must be performed until the new order arrives!"
Red Alert? This is the highest alert level.
Li Xingfeng and the crew were all shocked when they heard the emergency news from the headquarters. What happened?
Ren Hong, who was on the sidelines, was also very surprised, but it didn't take long for him to receive an encrypted communication message, which was sent from the earth. To be precise, it was a message from the "incarnation experiment". The company has something important to do in person.
Due to distance issues, the message was sent 20 minutes ago. He chatted with everyone and hurriedly left and returned to his bedroom. Ren Hong read the encrypted message from the earth for the first time without any hesitation. He immediately informed his assistant Xiao Kerui and immediately lay down. He closed his eyes on the bed, and after a while, the conscious connection with this "avatar" was interrupted.
……
Meanwhile, Earth.
Matrix Technologies, headquarters.
Ren Hong, who walked out of the "Incarnation Research Laboratory", just woke up from the dormant cabin. He took a little high-energy food with his hungry body and hurriedly left the laboratory and went straight to the location of the space base.
Soon, he meets Liu Yuliang in the office where his space base is located.
"What happened?" Ren Hong asked the first time he saw the other party.
Liu Yuliang didn't see any difference in Ren Hong's expression, why didn't he know the difference in his heart? The news has spread crazy all over the world, but he was relieved quickly. He has been in the laboratory recently, and the huge group company is also operated by Gao Yue, and he has not attended any domestic and foreign economic or technological forum conferences. And so on, but they are doing research, and it is understandable not to know. This kind of example has often appeared in the past, so it is not so strange.
It's just that he doesn't know the existence of "avatar", so he doesn't know what Ren Hong is doing.
