Technology Bigshot Chapter 576: ：Red Eagle]

……

In this joint landing operation, both sides dispatched personnel. There are nine armed tactical teams in total. Yang Licheng is the supreme operational commander, and Black Seaton is the deputy commander. This nine-member Sino-US mixed armed tactical team consists of It consists of five Chinese and four Americans, Xiaozhuang is the main driver of the manned lander, and "Wang Jiang", namely Ren Hong and Aislin, are also involved as scientists.

The landing on Pezos Heights consisted of a team of fourteen.

Ren Hong's new discovery made everyone come together again to hold an ad hoc meeting, and the original mission action plan was also adjusted, delaying the landing operation for a few hours. Fortunately, it was not a big problem.

30 hours later, the landing operation officially begins.

Ren Hong and other planet landing members completed the third assembly. Under the leadership of Ning Zebo, everyone walked out of the centrifuge capsule to another space capsule. All fifteen people wore tight short sleeves and pants. In the main passage module of the "Firefly Space Station", a line drifted forward.

There are many windows in the middle. Many people look out into outer space through the windows. They can see that there are two huge aircraft in front of them, which are respectively fixed by a truss more than 30 meters long. This is a hollow passage, a corridor that enters the aircraft.

At this moment, the two trusses are more than 60 meters long in total, and two aircraft are fixed respectively, slowly rotating on the truss of the main cabin of the "Firefly Space Station".

The two spacecraft have a unified official title, namely: Space Orbit and Planetary Vehicle, the model is the first generation (first generation), and the two spacecraft also have their own independent code names, namely "Red Eagle-001" and "Red Eagle-002".

As its name suggests, the appearance of the two "Red Eagle" spacecraft mirrors the color of the Martian surface. The whole body is red copper, and it is in a rectangular shape. The three views of the spacecraft, the side view of the spacecraft is like the outline of a parallelogram, Looking directly at the spaceship looks like a sub-square outline, and looking down at the spaceship looks like a triangular outline.

The Americans who came here found a very interesting thing. The Chinese seem to have a soft spot for the "Eagle" for the naming of big guys who can fly, including weapon missiles, such as the anti-ship missile "Eagle Strike" ", including the world-famous power armor "Republic Eagle", the nine space transport aircraft "Arc Eagle Series" produced by cmsx, the current landing vehicle "Red Eagle Series" and so on.

When everyone arrived at the last corner, Ning Zebo stood still. Commander Yang Licheng led the crowd through the 30-meter-long truss passage.

On the way, an American astronaut couldn't help but ask: "Sir Yang, I'm curious how this spacecraft landed?"

"You'll know right away." Yang Licheng smiled slightly, opened the cabin door and entered the spaceship first. Everyone came to the cabin of "Red Eagle-002" one by one. Old Mei expressed her surprise and entered. It was later discovered that the carrying capacity of the landing vehicle was far greater than they expected.

Xiaozhuang has entered the cab with his deputy. Eleven people in the core cabin are seated in the two rows of seats according to the serial numbers and fastened with safety bolts. A double row six is ​​fixed in the center of the cabin. For a twelve-wheeled rover, three containers.

The members of the two rows are also isolated from each other by the cargo box and rover in the middle.

The carrying capacity of "Red Eagle-002" has reached an astonishing 70 tons. The landing crew has all arrived, but there are still dozens of vacancies in the two rows of the cabin. It can transport up to 40 crew members and four containers of cargo, or if no people are transported, the cabin interior can be loaded with seven containers of cargo with a simple modification, with a maximum load of 73 tons.

This time the spacecraft carried only about 40 tons, far from reaching the maximum carrying tonnage.

Twenty minutes later, the "Red Eagle-002" vehicle officially separated from the space station and began to "fall" into the atmosphere of Mars. The crew members could not see the outside world, but the spacecraft and the atmosphere of the planet were intimate for the first time. After contact, bumps follow.

On the Martian skyline, I saw the huge "Red Eagle-002" like a streamer streaking across the sky.

"Why do you want to bring a rover down?" Aislin, the only woman sitting next to Ren Hong, asked, enduring the discomfort caused by the deceleration.

"Because, the landing point is some distance from the Pezos area." Ren Hong replied.

"I don't understand what you mean." Aisling shook her head.

"Well, since there are no good long enough empty landing strips in the Pezos area, the 'Red Eagle' will make a hard landing on the flat sandy ground 22 kilometers away from Pezos, well, just like The reason why Airbus planes land on the runway can be understood in this way." Ren Hong said.

As soon as the voice fell, some old beauty who heard it turned their heads and looked at him, "what??"

"It's about to land!" Ren Hong ignored the surprised old beauty and looked up at a crystal panel showing the distance between the spaceship and the ground. The old beauty suddenly became nervous and clenched their seats subconsciously. .

Ren Hong saw the surprised and nervous expressions of his partners, smiled and comforted: "Take it easy guys, the 'Red Eagle' transport ships have super environmental adaptability, you can put the 'Red Eagle' No. 2' is considered to be the American c-130a transport aircraft. The design concept of this transport ship is obtained from the c-130a. Obviously, the adaptability of the c-130 series transport aircraft is the best choice."

"So it is."

Americans are no strangers to their own c-130 series transport aircraft. The original model can be traced back to the last century. The carrying capacity of this transport aircraft may be average, but its biggest bright spot is its adaptability to harsh environments. , Can take off and land at will on the beach, grass, sand and other environments, as long as it is flat, as long as it is open enough, it is its runway. Compared with other pampered large aircraft, the c-130 series is simply perfect, and it is also the most popular in the US military. Love, the retirement of c-130 made Lao Mei sad for a long time.

I didn't expect the Chinese Mars landing vehicle to refer to the c-130 series transport aircraft, but I was a little surprised.

Pezos area.

"Red Eagle-002" is less than 500 meters away from the surface of Mars, but its speed is still staggering, exceeding the speed of sound, the atmosphere of Mars is thin, not fast enough, such a large volume The plane lost control in minutes.

However, "Red Eagle" is about to arrive at the designated landing zone, and it must be time to land immediately.

At the same time as the spacecraft began to decelerate, the multiple sub-engines in the belly of the spacecraft frantically ejected flames to push the huge spacecraft upward, causing the "Red Eagle 2" to descend steadily horizontally after decelerating.
