Chapter 251 Writing History
06:30 p.m. ET.

For the vast majority of Americans, after a busy day at work, they return home with their families, sit on a soft sofa and watch TV, or sit at the dining table and eat food, enjoying a rare leisure time.

In a rancher's home in Texas, a middle-aged couple is enjoying a wonderful dinner with their three children at the dining table in the living room.

On the dining table, there are grilled chicken, steak, ham, vegetables, butter, and some small desserts.

Hannah, who was cutting the roast chicken, after dividing the chicken, watched the news that had been broadcast on TV for a day, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "I really don't understand, Mars is so barren, we spend so much money What's the use of landing there, a lot of people don't have jobs and live on the dole, wouldn't it make more sense to give them that money?"

Grabbing a chicken leg, he gnawed down a large piece of grilled chicken, took another sip of the thick soup, and Brooke, who was staring at the TV, grinned.

"You don't understand, this is a great step for mankind, and all mankind is paying attention."

Hannah, who just sat down, couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard her husband's words.

"Yes, of course I don't understand, and I don't understand. You, a farmer, care about human affairs and the universe all day long. What is the reason for this? Could it make our harvest better next year, or do you want to grow potatoes on Mars? "

The speaker had no intention of the listener, Brooke rolled his eyes and thought, "Maybe, when we establish a base on Mars, maybe I will grow potatoes and sell them..."

"I warn you, don't even think about it!"

Suddenly, Hannah glared at him like a cat with its tail up, "At your level, you can't even take care of the potatoes on your own farm. If you plant them on Mars, you will starve to death!"

Looking at his wife with a serious expression, Brooke shrugged, "Relax, honey... I'm just talking casually, of course I won't actually go to Mars to grow potatoes."

at this time.

The countdown to the launch has begun on television.

"10, 9, 8, 7... 1, launch!"

Watching the slowly rising, but steady and firm space shuttle, Brooke has completely focused on the TV.

Or, at this moment, all human beings are watching this scene.

After lift-off, the space shuttle quickly disappeared into the clouds, but some parameters were still being broadcast simultaneously on the news screen.

Ten kilometers, one hundred kilometers, one thousand kilometers, ten thousand kilometers...

When the space shuttle left the earth's atmosphere and entered the interstellar space, its speed became faster and faster, and it flew straight to Mars at the fastest speed in human history.

"God bless, I wish you all the best!" Looking at the space shuttle that had disappeared from the camera, Brooke prayed sincerely.

Hannah, who was sitting next to her, looked helpless.

……

Watch the news of the United States landing on Mars.

To be honest, Lin Xiao was a little envious.

Although Xianheling has developed a small aircraft, it can basically only fly in the atmosphere, and it is far from being able to escape the strong gravity of a planet.

In order to create a real starship, the first step is to increase the size of the rune engine.

No power, nowhere to go.

Moreover, it is not enough to get rid of the gravity of the earth. The previous chemical fuel rockets can also be used, but the speed is too slow. It takes several days to go to the moon, and it takes two years to go to and from Mars.

Efficiency is too low.

The space shuttle equipped with a large plasma engine can reach a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second, which can shorten the original two-year interstellar travel to one or two weeks.

This is very close to the time of landing on the moon.

The difficulty can be said to be greatly reduced.

Besides, this is only the first generation of plasma engines.

In the future, there will definitely be a second generation, a third generation...

Although, like chemical fuel rockets, this thing should also have a speed limit, but it will undoubtedly greatly improve the efficiency of interstellar travel.

The unexpected situation of the United States landing on Mars caused Lin Xiao to spend more time on the earth. After completing the routine work, he did not return to the star field world immediately.

The main reason is that at this stage, the development of Xianhe Ling is progressing steadily, and there are no major issues waiting for his decision.

He decided to wait for the results on Earth.

After all, this is the first time humans have landed on Mars, which is of great significance. As a member of the human race on Earth, he is also full of yearning for the mysterious starry sky.

At this moment when he was about to take an important step, even though it was done by his old opponent, he also hoped to be able to witness it.

"I just don't know if they will find any accidents on Mars, but there is a high probability that it will be barren... After all, the Mars rovers of the United States and Zhongxia have already landed before that, except for the discovery of ice. , basically worthless discoveries."

Like ordinary people, Lin Xiao has been following the news of the US landing on Mars.

"That's right, the environment of Mars is harsh and not suitable for life... In addition, judging from the situation of the earth, the origin force in the interstellar space must also be very thin, the possibility of the existence of extraordinary creatures with strong adaptability, and the existence of origin force materials Also negligible."

The time was shorter than Lin Xiao expected.

Just ten days later, the United States has issued an announcement that the space shuttle is about to enter Mars orbit.

Due to communication delays, the earth cannot immediately know the situation of the space shuttle.However, judging from the information that has been transmitted, the landing process was very smooth. Finally, through the process of decelerating, entering Mars orbit, lowering the altitude, and decelerating again, the space shuttle stopped steadily in the predetermined area.

At this time, an aerial photography drone flew out of the space shuttle. With the camera on it activated, the electromagnetic wave signal was received by the earth and spread synchronously after a few minutes of travel.

Countless people sitting in front of the TV are tense at this moment.

The Americans, in particular, held their breath.

Slowly, the hatch of the landing module opened, and a hanging ladder fell down like an airplane, just hitting the ground of Mars.

A figure appeared at the cabin door.

Under the gaze of humans all over the world, he walked down the hanging ladder step by step.

Finally, the moment his footsteps touched the ground.

At the other end of tens of millions of kilometers, countless people were excited and teary.

Humans have landed on Mars.

History is written.

It was like landing on the moon for the first time.

Still at the farmer's house in Texas.

"Oh, my God, we made it!" Brooke couldn't help but dance excitedly.

Hannah, who was enjoying breakfast next to her while mixing salad dressing, glanced at her husband speechlessly, but didn't speak, and didn't bother to talk to him.

Brook didn't care. At this time, like most people, he was completely immersed in joy.
