Great Power Technology: Starting from the Nantianmen Project

Chapter 175: Arriving at Mars Orbit! Rusty Planet! Mars, Here We Come!

"Too crazy! Hahaha! This is simply too crazy! I can't even imagine this speed! Twenty-four thousand Mach! Is this still a flying machine that humans can develop?"

"Is this still a speed that humans can reach?"

"A speed of 8200 Mach! That's almost equivalent to kilometers per second! Oh my God!"

"You know, even Ultraman's speed is only Mach 31!"

"In other words, if Ultraman really exists, he is nothing compared to our Red Falcon transport plane!"

The netizens in the live broadcast room were completely shocked beyond words by such a terrifying speed.

At this moment, in the Guanghan Palace scientific research base.

A "gurgle" sound.

Mr. Fu, Dai Yan, Liang Yi and others swallowed hard.

Looking at the terrifying speed, everyone got goosebumps.

"Is it really that scary?"

"Mach 24,000..."

"This speed... is too fast!"

Mr. Fu looked at the screen in the live broadcast room, then looked at the communicator.

"That's right!"

"Mr. Fu!"

"Right now, our Red Falcon Fleet is heading towards Mars at a speed of 24,000 Mach!"

Inside the Red Falcon Fleet's Unit 01, Old Xu looked at Old Fu and the others on the communication interface and spoke excitedly.

And old man Li Wenyuan standing by also took a deep breath of cold air.

"Mr. Fu, we are indeed moving at a speed of 24,000 Mach right now, and based on our current distance from Mars."

"Even Mars is 360 million kilometers away from us."

"But we only need about 12 hours."

“Then you can reach Mars!”

“This is the most terrifying thing!”

After Mr. Li Wenyuan finished speaking, even he himself felt a strong sense of disbelief!
It only takes twelve hours to reach Mars from Earth!
What the hell is this concept?!

At this time, Mr. Fu and others heard Li Wenyuan's confirming words.

I gasped again!

It only takes twelve hours to reach Mars from Earth!

This speed is outrageous!
At the same time, the quantum ghost network instantly connected all the navigation data of the Red Falcon Space Fleet to the Lingxiao Tiangong Base and the Nanyan Scientific Research Base on the ground.

All the fleet’s current navigation orbit data and flight status have been connected.

Afterwards, Mr. Fu, Liang Yi and others quickly checked all the current status of the "Red Falcon Fleet".

[The current status of the Red Falcon Fleet is as follows:]

[Red Falcon Deep Space Engine Group Operating Power: 100%]

[Current deep space navigation orbit: C90 deep space orbit]

[Current Red Falcon Fleet sailing speed: 24000 Mach]

[Estimated time remaining to reach Mars: 12 hours, 11 minutes and 05 seconds]

[Current fleet aircraft status: Good]

[Current fleet particle shield defense status: good]

【…】

With all status fully updated complete.

Looking at the rows and rows of densely packed data sharing, Mr. Fu took a breath of cold air again!
"It really is Mach 24,000!"

"Jiang Li!"

"You are too cruel, kid!"

"They created a flying machine that can reach Mach 24,000 without making any noise?"

Mr. Fu looked at the interface of the communicator, looked at Jiang Li, and said with a grin.

Too bad!
This guy is really cruel!
"It's only twenty-four thousand!"

On this side, Jiang Li said disapprovingly: "This speed is not very fast, right? Look, it takes nearly 12 hours to get from Earth to Mars!"

"Originally, I planned that it would only take two hours for our spacecraft to reach Mars."

"As a result, we now have ten extra hours."

After Jiang Li finished speaking.

Everyone on Mr. Fu's side fell silent.

Even the online audience in the live broadcast room were all silent.

Good guy!
He actually complained that twelve hours was too slow?
And you plan to reach Mars from Earth in two hours? !
“The engine still needs to be upgraded.”

Jiang Li then continued to talk to himself: "Let's do this."

"After we get to Mars and build a base there."

"The Red Falcon engine upgrade project must continue."

Mr. Fu: “…”

Netizens around the world: “…”

The only person in the world who is qualified to say these words is Jiang Li.

At this moment.

Jiang Li looked at the live broadcast nanoworm in front of him, then said with a smile:

"Everyone."

"Then let's meet on Mars in twelve hours."

After saying that.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became lively again.

"See you on Mars in twelve hours!"

"Listen! This sentence sounds so domineering!"

"Let's see you on Mars!"

All the online viewers in the live broadcast room also began to look forward to it.

Looking forward to the moment of arriving on Mars!
After all, in the past, if netizens wanted to see Mars, they could only look at it through some relevant information.

Like now, you can watch Mars directly through live broadcast.

That's the first time!
Afterwards, the live broadcast camera in the live broadcast room was handed over to Lu Tian again.

After all, there is a twelve-hour wait.

Although the time is very short, it is also extremely boring.

Therefore, before arriving on Mars, let’s give the interactive rights of the live broadcast room to Lu Tian.

This guy is already a very qualified anchor.

"Hahaha! Everyone, the authority of the Mars Live Room has been handed over to me again."

"Let's go! I'll take you to the observation cabin so we can enjoy the beauty of the universe!"

Lu Tian immediately began to interact actively with the online viewers in the live broadcast room.

Time also began to pass slowly.

More than an hour has passed since the Red Falcon Martian Fleet set out.

In this extremely desolate and silent universe.

It seems that darkness is the main theme of this starry sky.

Although humans have also taken extremely beautiful pictures of the starry sky.

But these pictures are actually taken after high exposure and delay.

If you really fly a spacecraft and speed through the universe.

Then the space around you is an extremely empty darkness!
This kind of black is not the black of “black”.

But it is a kind of "empty" black!
Can't see, can't touch.

Even some mentally ill people will have problems if they stare into the abyss of the universe for a long time.

It's as if the entire universe is a huge black hole.

If you look directly at it without the support of strong faith, you will feel as if you will be swallowed by it!
Right now, in the vast universe.

The entire Red Falcon Space Fleet's surroundings, and all the visible areas, were filled with deep darkness!

"call…"

“This is the real universe!”

Zhang Ke was standing in front of the observation window at this time, looking at the extremely dark universe outside, and couldn't help but smacking his lips.

"Yes."

“This is the real universe.”

The two old men Li Wenyuan and He Yan on the side were not too surprised.

Even more, their faces were filled with an inexplicable expectation and yearning.

After all, at their level of studying cosmic science, it is impossible to make any major breakthroughs on Earth.

I want to truly unlock the mysteries of the universe.

Then you must truly enter the universe!

Embark on a journey to the sea of ​​stars!
“The Earth is getting smaller!”

Mr. Ye, who was standing in front of the observation window, couldn't help but let out a sigh.

In the sight behind everyone, one can see a blue planet about the size of a fingernail.

"Hey…"

"This is the first time I've been away from home so far. Why am I still a little bit..."

Mr. Ye looked at the earth that was getting farther and farther away, with a sigh on his face.

"Old Ye, are you still feeling sentimental?"

"So you're still fighting with me? You want to go to Mars with me?"

At this time, Mr. Pang grinned and said.

"Nonsense! This time we are going to Mars and build a second home for our Xia country! I must participate in such a grand plan!"

Mr. Ye immediately widened his eyes and said.

"Then what are you sighing about?" Old Pang also widened his eyes.

"Lao Pang! What's wrong with me expressing my feelings?"

"It doesn't sound good to me."

"???"

The two started arguing again.

It was this noisy sound that slowly brought the people around who were almost trapped in the depths of the universe back to their senses.

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, Jiang Li walked over.

Laugh out loud.

"Lao Pang is right."

"Everyone."

"This time we are going to Mars to build a second human home for our Xia country!"

“It starts with the ancients.”

"We have always had various speculations about Mars."

"so!"

"Let's join forces this time!"

"Arrived on Mars!"

"And then unravel all its secrets!"

"Yes!!!" Upon hearing this, all the researchers around immediately perked up!

Just as Jiang Li said.

How could they have time to feel sad about being away from home so far for the first time?

At this moment, they should conserve their energy!

Then we will go all out to prepare for the construction project of the second home for mankind!
"Everyone, take good care of yourself."

"Have a good rest."

"After I wake up."

"Mars is just around the corner!"

"When the time comes, after we land on Mars."

"But there is no time for everyone to rest."

Jiang Li said with a smile.

"Yes!"

All the researchers nodded immediately!
Subsequently.

Everyone returned to their own rest cabins to rest.

"Lu Tian, ​​the live broadcast room is left to you."

"I'm going to take a nap, too."

Jiang Li came to Lu Tian's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"No problem! Brother Jiang!"

"Just leave the live broadcast room to me!"

Lu Tian was still very excited at this time.

There was no trace of sleepiness on his face.

"Yeah." Jiang Li smiled.

Then he returned to his own lounge.

On the side of the lounge, there is a transparent observation window.

It is standard in every lounge.

Jiang Li leaned against the inner wall of the rest cabin, and waves of sleepiness slowly came over him.

Slowly, he began to close his eyes.

I set the alarm for eleven hours.

Because he knew that in eleven hours, Mars would be very close!
Then, sleepiness came over me.

Jiang Li slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, the remaining time for the entire Red Falcon Fleet to arrive on Mars is: 11 hours!
In the desolate universe.

Although most places are absolute vacuum, there are also many areas filled with celestial bodies, which are either meteorites or fragments.

And during this 3.6 million kilometer journey.

The Red Falcon Fleet also encountered no less than a hundred meteorite fragments.

With the protection of particle shield.

Those meteorites will be dissolved after coming into contact with this particle shield.

So there is no need to worry about meteorites at all.

Time began to pass slowly again.

Slowly, a planet emitting dark red color all over began to appear in front of the Red Falcon Fleet.

After a long journey of 360 million kilometers.

The target planet seems to be within reach.

At this moment, the crew members of the Red Falcon Fleet who were on duty.

You can also see through the observation window that a hazy planet begins to appear in sight.

From a hazy planet that was originally only about the size of a fist, it began to grow continuously!

And through the perspective tracking of the observation window, the picture began to become clearer.

It is clear!
This hazy planet is the target of the Red Falcon Fleet this time: Mars!
"Mars! We have less than an hour to reach Mars' planned orbit!"

"That's Mars! It's our target planet this time!"

"Mars! It's Mars!"

At this moment, don't talk about others.

Even the 10,000 top scientific researchers in the entire Red Falcon Fleet.

After seeing Mars so close, they all became excited.

The most excited ones were the two old men Li Wenyuan and He Yan.

During these ten hours.

The two old men never closed their eyes.

Just staying in the observation cabin of Red Falcon Zero One, still looking at the dark and desolate universe in front of him.

Until the hazy outline of Mars appeared in their sight.

Only then did they begin to take action.

All I saw were two old men standing in front of the observation window.

He raised his hands excitedly and placed them on the observation window.

And right in front of them, against the dark background of the universe, a planet emitting a hazy dark red glow was floating quietly.

"Mars…"

“We really have arrived on Mars…”

At this moment, Mr. He Yan felt like he was in a dream.

It was as if this was all just a dream.

It's so unreal.

However, the cold temperature coming from the observation window in front of him told He Yan through the touch of his palm.

This is not a dream!
Mars! It's really close!

"Report to Jiang Gong!"

"There are still forty-five minutes until we reach the planned orbit of Mars!"

Jiang Li also woke up ten minutes ago.

After waking up, he came to the observation cabin.

After looking at the hazy dark red planet that was already the size of a fist, Jiang Li knew.

They are almost reaching Mars.

"OK, all right."

After listening to the report, Jiang Li smiled and nodded.

As time went by, the planet outside began to gradually grow larger in sight!
As Mars continued to grow larger, everyone understood.

They are getting closer and closer to their destination!
"did you see that!"

"That's Mars!"

“We’re almost to Mars!”

"Everyone!"

Although Lu Tian did not rest, his mind was still in a state of high intensity excitement.

He pointed the live broadcast camera of the nanoworms directly at the observation window.

Then adjust the target screen to face Mars!

"Mars! Mars!"

“It really only took about ten hours to reach Mars!”

“This scene is so shocking!”

“This is Mars!”

"During the entire 10-plus-hour live broadcast, I didn't take a nap at all!"

"It's for this moment!"

"Because this moment! Is destined to go down in history!"

The mental state of netizens is also unprecedentedly excited!

And time passed slowly again.

Looking from the observation window, Mars is beginning to grow larger!

It has grown from the size of a fist to the size of a washbasin.

Moreover, it is still growing.

Ten minutes passed...fifteen minutes passed...half an hour passed.

When a faint red glow was projected in from the observation window on the cabin wall.

Everyone in the cabin became excited.

Because Mars is so close!

At this moment, the observation cabins of one hundred Red Falcon transport aircraft were already filled with all the scientific researchers.

They all opened their eyes wide and looked through the observation window.

Looking at the huge and clear planet outside - Mars!
No one could take their eyes away.

Mars!!
It's completely within reach!

Everyone can clearly see the entire picture of Mars!

Observing Mars from this angle is also the best observation angle!

At this moment, the overall picture of Mars has shed its mysterious veil.

It just appeared in front of everyone!
Mars, the first impression it gives people.

It's like a huge rusty iron ball!
"Brother Jiang!"

"This Mars really is like a huge iron ball!"

"And it's rusty!"

Lu Tian couldn't help but exclaimed at this moment.

His two sentences also expressed the thoughts of all the online viewers in the live broadcast room.

After all, the image of Mars presented to everyone at this moment does look like a rusty planet.

"If you insist on calling it a rusty iron ball, then that's not wrong."

At this time, the two old men, He Yan and Li Wenyuan, stood up.

Because next we have arrived at their home ground.

"Mars appears to us in this rusty color."

“There are two main reasons.”

"The first reason is that the required iron oxide is distributed on the surface of Mars."

“It is the element FeO.”

"That's why the surface of Mars appears dark red."

“The iron element in iron oxide exists in the form of trivalent iron.”

“So what comes out is red and rust.”

"The process of formation is simple. These iron oxides are rocks and minerals on the surface of Mars that have undergone natural weathering and oxidation over millions of years."

“It slowly and gradually took shape.”

"Although Mars' atmosphere is thin, the oxygen and trace amounts of water in it can still react with the iron in these rocks."

"It formed iron oxide."

After Mr. He Yan finished speaking, Li Wenyuan continued, "The second reason is because of the atmosphere of Mars."

"Although, the atmosphere of Mars is very thin."

"It's only one percent of the Earth's atmosphere, and the main gas in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide."

"Carbon dioxide gas accounts for about 95% of the Martian atmosphere."

"In addition, there are small amounts of nitrogen, argon, and extremely small amounts of oxygen and water vapor in the Martian atmosphere."

"It is precisely because of the absorption and scattering of light by carbon dioxide and other gases on Mars that the red tone of the Martian surface is enhanced."

"Methane in particular is a powerful heat-trapping gas that absorbs the blue and violet light from the sun."

"Thereby reflecting red light."

"The light plus the fact that the iron oxide is evenly distributed all over the surface of Mars."

"So, the color presented to us is naturally dark red."

After in-depth analysis by two old men, Li Wenyuan and He Yan.

All the viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly realized what was going on.

"Mr. He! Mr. Li!"

"Then may I ask! Why aren't the poles of Mars red?"

“And it seems to be white?”

At this time, some netizens immediately raised questions in the live broadcast room.

Li Wenyuan and He Yan also immediately observed the two poles of Mars.

It can be clearly seen at the two poles of Mars, where strands of white glow are constantly flashing under the sunlight.

Although it was very weak, it made the two old men Li Wenyuan and He Yan start to tremble all over!

"It can't be wrong! It can't be wrong!"

Li Wenyuan looked at the North and South Poles of Mars with great excitement!
"We have previously explored the north and south poles of Mars through our Mars probe!"

"And according to our detection, the poles of Mars are covered with extremely large amounts of solid ice!"

"So, we also infer that there is no water resource on the surface of Mars."

"but!"

"Beneath the ice caps at the north and south poles of Mars."

"There is definitely a large amount of underground water. The water on Mars will not disappear for no reason!"

"It definitely trapped the water underground!"

Although Li Wenyuan had seen the two poles of Mars through a probe before.

But now we can see the North and South Poles of Mars directly with our naked eyes.

With just one glance, he was sure.

There must be a huge amount of water resources sealed under the two poles of Mars!

And the reason why people dare not assert.

It has always been because there is no way to reach Mars and truly explore it.

"Jiang Gong!"

"We have five minutes left to reach Mars' low-Earth orbit!"

At this time, Zhang Ke looked at the feedback from the Red Falcon system and spoke quickly.

"Yeah." Jiang Li nodded.

As the entire Red Falcon fleet slowly approached Mars.

Mars also began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

finally!
Five minutes later, the entire Red Falcon fleet arrived at the low-Earth orbit of this mysterious planet!

[Ding! The Red Falcon General Control System prompts: The current Red Falcon fleet has successfully arrived at the planned orbit of Mars! ]

【Total time: 12 hours, 12 minutes and 03 seconds. 】

[Ding! Beginning to re-plan the orbit, and has entered the relative geostationary orbit above Mars. ]

At this moment, Mars is already in front of everyone!
Jiang Li also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly: "Mars, we... are here!!"
