"Report! The equipment has been inspected! All personnel are in good condition and can go out of the cabin at any time!" After the inspection, Peng Ming, the person in charge of the landing and the pilot of the aircraft, immediately replied to the Dijiang!

"Very good! According to the data, the temperature outside the aircraft is now minus 104 degrees! It is suitable for activities outside the cabin. Now I order to open the cabin door and carry out the mission!" After receiving the reply from the crew, Captain Qiu said, ordered immediately.

Following Captain Qiu's order, under the watchful eyes of all the personnel in the cabin, the tail compartment door of the plane was slowly opened.

After the tail compartment was opened, all the people in the cabin slowly came to the intersection of the aircraft cabin door and the Martian ground side by side, and finally took the first step of human civilization to set foot on Mars.

When everyone took this step, everyone cheered loudly in the communicator, and there were still people inside who said loudly that this is a small step for us, and it is also a giant leap for human civilization.

Regarding this, Captain Qiu shook his head, but he did not stop these people, but listened to their cheers quietly.

He knows these young people too well. You must know that the people who landed on Mars this time are all born in the 1990s and 2000s. Naturally, they are much freer and more energetic than him who was born in the 70s. Well, are you young after all?

If they are still not cheering at this time, then he has to think carefully about whether these young people can really afford the future of human civilization.

After cheering for a while, the young people in the communicator finally stopped, and they heard the mission of landing on Mars, and they all returned to the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane, driving a few special Mars vehicles. Car, get out of the cabin.

Although the volume of these Mars rovers is basically not very large, after all, where is the cabin volume of the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane? If the Mars rover is too huge, it is impossible to fit it The cabin of the aircraft.

But it's not small, and it's even comparable in size to an ordinary off-road vehicle on Earth.

These Mars rovers not only look full of water chestnut and domineering, but also look very safe.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Although these Mars rovers don't look big, the weight of each Mars rover has reached more than ten tons.

The reason why it is so heavy is actually specially designed and manufactured for this and future missions. The shell of this Mars rover is the latest armor steel developed by Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology. , and the glass is the same,

Also their newest product.

At the same time, the interior of the Mars rover, like other space and extraterrestrial exploration equipment, has a complete oxygen life support cycle equipment, which can not only ensure the safety of the internal personnel, but also maintain the safety of the internal personnel for a long period of time. survival guarantee.

The most important thing is that these Mars rovers actually have certain attack capabilities. In an emergency, these Mars rovers can also attack threatening targets.

The last is the Mars rover. In addition to the above functions, it is also equipped with various scientific research and detection equipment, such as soil collection equipment, rock fragmentation equipment, ground detection equipment, and deep drilling equipment and so on.

Each vehicle can carry a large amount of equipment at most, and can also carry 4 to 8 members at the same time, but it is a rare means of transportation on Mars.

This time, the Phoenix-1 aerospace plane carried a total of four such Mars rovers. That is to say, these Mars rovers can carry a maximum of thirty-two members. That is to say, these Mars rovers, if When in danger, you can take them all away at once.

As the small Mars rovers quickly drove out of the cabin of the aircraft, the tracks of these Mars rovers immediately added patches of dust on the Martian ground, leaving traces of the tracks of the Mars rovers.

As the rover left the cabin, the astronauts who landed on Mars this time also officially started various missions on Mars, such as collecting soil and rocks within five kilometers of the surrounding area, and collecting a few Specific data of various topography and geomorphology within one kilometer, drilling shallow underground conditions, etc.

In addition, as the person in charge of this mission, Peng Ming's mission is much heavier than other people's missions. The mission he has to perform is to drill in an underground lake area near the landing point, with a depth of at least To reach the underground liquid area, that is, about two kilometers underground.

Naturally, he didn't have any complaints about this, but gladly accepted the task, so after landing, he drove a Mars rover specially equipped with drilling equipment to the area, and immediately started drilling.

But when he started drilling, he found that his task was far more difficult than he had imagined. After all, before he started, although he was prepared to encounter difficulties, where did he think of it? He encountered difficulties just as the mission started.

That is the underground hardness of the underground lake area, far beyond his expectations, and he is very clear about this, the reason for this. That is because the temperature of Mars is very low. Even if it is close to the noon of Mars at this time, the temperature at the south pole is below minus one hundred.

At such a temperature, the hardness of the ice is very hard. Even the drill bits of the drilling equipment are made of very hard special steel. The drilling speed is also very slow, and the loss of the drill bits is beyond his. out of expectation.

After nearly an hour of drilling, his Mars rover has only drilled to a depth of less than 100 meters on the ice of the underground lake at the South Pole of Mars, which made him a little anxious.

After all, according to the data from the previous detectors, where the underground lake is located, that is, where he is located, the average thickness of the ice layer has reached more than two kilometers. Even if the ice layer in his area is the thinnest, its thick bottom is also More than 1.5 kilometers.

If you continue to drill at this speed, it will take at least a few days to drill to a place below one kilometer.

After all, according to the plan, they only work for two to three hours a day, so judging from this speed, they can only drill to a depth of two to three hundred meters in a day's work time.

And his previous scheduled drilling time was only arranged for one day, so he was very depressed.

However, he has no good solution for this. After all, this is already the best deep drill bit in human civilization. If you use other drill bits, it is already very remarkable to be able to drill a few meters deep in an hour. Whether drilling is even possible is a huge question.
