At the same time, when these data were returned to Earth, the scientists of the Earth Command Center and other aerospace centers and aerospace companies basically came to the same conclusion as Captain Qiu and the others.

After all, there are a large number of probes at various heights in the orbit of Mars at this time, and the data provided by these probes show that there is a very high possibility of liquid water in the north and south poles of Mars.

Of course, it would be too early to draw conclusions at this time. After all, if you haven't visited the site, you don't know what the real situation is like.

At the same time, as more and more data on Mars are collected, all aspects of data on Mars are constantly being repaired.

When the spacecraft finally arrived in the low-Earth orbit of Mars, some basic data about Mars had been upgraded, such as the atmospheric structure of Mars, the gravity of Mars, and so on.

And the next thing they have to do is to collect data on the Martian ground and soil. Compared with collecting data on the atmosphere and gravity, collecting data on the surface soil of Mars is obviously much more difficult.

And with unmanned probes, data collection on these aspects is incomplete.

At the same time, the location and landforms of Mars are also very complex, with plains and valleys. River beds and other landforms, so the best way is to use a large number of unmanned detectors, and it is best to land in person for detection.

Since the only space fighter they carried had returned to Earth at this time, it was temporarily impossible to use the space fighter to land on Mars.

Fortunately, in addition to carrying a space fighter, they also carry a small aerospace plane, which is a small aerospace plane with vertical take-off and landing capabilities, that is, the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane.

And because the gravitational force of Mars is only 2/5 of that of the earth, such profit conditions are enough for the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane to take off and land vertically.

However, although they can use the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane to land on Mars, compared with space fighters, aerospace planes are obviously much more fragile. After all, space fighters have thick armor, powerful power and fierce firepower, which can effectively To deal with all kinds of dangers, even if there is a highly developed civilization on Mars, the space fighter level of the earth civilization is still capable of fighting. Can retreat calmly.

But the aerospace plane is different. The aerospace plane does not have heavy armor like the space fighter, nor does it carry a large number of offensive weapons. At the same time, it is far inferior to the space fighter in terms of flexibility and speed.

Compared with space fighters, aerospace planes are also very short-legged in terms of endurance,

The fuel carried can only be used by aerospace planes, which seem to go to and from Mars.

The most important thing is that compared with its combat aircraft, the Phoenix and its aerospace aircraft need a runway to take off. Even if they have vertical take-off and landing capabilities, they can perform vertical take-off and landing on the moon, but after arriving on Mars, the Phoenix and their aerospace aircraft Although it can land vertically, it also needs a certain length of runway for take-off. After a run-up, it can take off with the help of the energy of the aerospace plane's wings.

In other words, after the aerospace plane lands, the first thing they need to do is to repair a runway that can be used by the aerospace plane to take off and land, although the length of the runway does not need to be long, only one or two hundred meters is enough And since the gravitational force of Mars is only 2/5 of that of the earth, the thickness of the runway does not need to be too thick, it only needs to reach 2/5 of that of the earth, but for the people on the spacecraft, this is also a huge project.

Even if all the people on the spacecraft are combined to repair the runway, it will take at least a year and a half to complete the repairs.

This is something they absolutely cannot tolerate, but fortunately, although the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane needs a runway, the relatively simple runway can also provide conditions for the Phoenix and the aerospace plane to take off.

The repair of the relatively simple runway is relatively much simpler for the people in the spaceship, and the time required is only half a month to a month.

After all, before the spacecraft took off, it had already made full preparations, and also considered various situations that the spacecraft might deal with, so there were also various construction machinery and equipment in the spacecraft, such as bulldozers, excavators and so on.

And these engineering equipments are also very different from the earth's engineering equipments, what these engineering equipments drive is no longer gasoline and diesel etc.

After all, on an alien planet like Mars. Gasoline and diesel engines cannot work without the presence of oxygen, so these engineering equipment are driven by electricity.

In addition, in order to save energy as much as possible, that is, to save electricity consumption, these bulldozers and excavators are also equipped with solar panels.

In addition, the spacecraft also has small cold nuclear fusion energy supply equipment specially designed to provide energy for these engineering equipment.

Of course, in order to ensure the safety of construction personnel, these engineering equipment are fully sealed, and there is a complete life support system inside. Even if there is no life support system inside the machine such as a spacesuit, it is enough for the internal driver to stay inside for a long time. Survive.

However, since these equipments are engineering equipments, there is very little space for storing living materials inside, and they can only supply internal personnel for three to five days.

At the same time, it is considered that engineering equipment is relatively large in size and quantity, and cannot be carried by small aerospace aircraft, so these equipment are equipped with special space delivery functions.

Even if there is no space plane to carry it, the spacecraft can also directly launch these devices into the universe and enter the planets that need to be released. These devices can directly use rocket boosters just like the spaceships of early humans to make these devices The equipment is accurately released to the place where it needs to be released, and then the parachute and airbags are opened to ensure that the equipment can still operate normally after being released to the predetermined location.

Therefore, after discussing with the personnel inside the spacecraft, they decided to first let the aerospace plane carry the personnel to land on Mars in advance. After choosing a location, the spacecraft will directly release these equipment, and then build a simple runway at the fastest speed. For aerospace planes to take off.

Of course, just discussing with the personnel on the spacecraft was not enough, so Captain Qiu immediately reported the results of their discussion to the Earth Command Center.

After careful consideration, Wang Bin, Qin Lao and others from the Earth Command Center also agreed to their request, and only used Phoenix and his party to log in with the aerospace plane.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the people in the spaceship, he dispatched three more Phoenixes, two Type 1 aerospace planes, Phoenix Type 2 aerospace planes and 5 space fighters. The spaceships rendezvous.
