My Clone Empire

"No one speaks, so let's draw lots!" Tang Jiuling knew that the first batch of landings had the greatest risk. After all, no one knew whether the performance of the shuttle could reach the landing place safely.

The first batch of people to go down is definitely the most risky, which is why there are only two people in the first two shuttles.

"I'll go!" A splinter raised his hand first.

"I'll go too!" Seeing someone taking the lead, a more courageous male astronaut also raised his hand.

"And us!" Two more people raised their arms. Both of them were recruited astronauts, which made Tang Jiuling admire their courage.

"Very good! You can go!" Tang Jiuling nodded.

The first four people who volunteered to go to Mars activated the helmets of the forced colonization armor on their bodies, turned around and drifted towards the shuttle parking area behind the spacecraft.

After passing through an airtight door, the four of them boarded the upper and lower shuttles on one wing respectively.

At this time, the spaceship has changed orbit to the sky above the landing site.

"The communication equipment is normal, the heat insulation device of the shuttle is normal, and all subsystems are normal! You can go!" The first batch of landers gave a thumbs up to the camera.

"Good luck!" Tang Jiuling muttered silently and closed the electromagnetic locks attached to the two shuttles.

After the docking hatch between the shuttle and the spacecraft was closed, the two shuttles ejected from the spacecraft for a certain distance and then activated their thrusters, rushing down towards the red planet below.

In the cockpit of Mars One, the remaining six astronauts watched silently through the portholes as the signal lights on the two shuttles gradually disappeared.

The two shuttles passed through the thin atmosphere of Mars alternately, and arrived at the landing point that had been determined long ago on the blue star.

This landing site is located in a huge plain, surrounded by several mountains, where the most famous sandstorm on Mars will be much less powerful.

Not far from the landing point, the deep pit formed by the drying up of the huge lake means that there should still be a large amount of underground water in this area.

In this way, the first Mars forward base no longer needs to send spacecraft to the poles of Mars to fetch dehydrated water.

Because the gravity of Mars is only about one-third of that of Blue Star, the difficulty of vertical landing of the shuttle is much lower than that of Blue Star, so all the shuttles are designed for vertical take-off and landing.

After the propellers on the wings on both sides of the shuttle turned downward, the two shuttles slowly landed on the plain.

The four astronauts in the colonization armor walked out of the open hatch of the shuttle one step at a time.

When the first astronaut put his foot on the soil of Mars, another astronaut picked up a camera to record the moment.

This is the first time humans have come to Mars and left their first footprints on Mars!

"Pay attention to safety, whether there are living things on Mars is still unknown! We must be very careful!" The split body, who is the leader of the landing team, said in a deep voice through the communication network.

"Understood!" The team members nodded in response.

The four of them hopped and hopped towards the landing point. From time to time, they used the detectors in their hands to insert into the soil under their feet to obtain samples.

Two hours later, the four people took out all the collected soil samples, which were stored in small glass bottles.

After collecting the samples, a small rocket suddenly rose above a shuttle.

The team leader stuffed the box containing all the samples onto the top of the rocket, and the rocket flew straight into the air and rushed towards the direction of Mars-1.

These soil samples will be sent to the laboratory of Mars One for analysis. After confirming that there is no threat to the soil samples and that the astronauts on the ground have not encountered any attacks, Mars One will airdrop all the components of the base. .

After another two hours, all soil samples were analyzed, and without exception, all were safe green grades.

In addition, the astronauts on the ground did not encounter any attacks, so Tang Jiuling activated the airdrop system of the tool warehouse.

These tool bays are like stratospheric drone motherships dropped in the blue star orbit, and were sent directly into the atmosphere of Mars after breaking away from the ship.

These tool bays carry mining machines for mining minerals and refining equipment for refining metals.

In addition, there are various machine tools and forging equipment used to manufacture parts.

These tools can ensure that the first batch of landers, even if all the parts they carry are damaged, can build a simple base on Mars and wait for the second batch of landers to arrive.

At the same time, if the parts and equipment carried are not damaged, the landers can also use these tools to expand the size of the base, so that the second batch of landers can work at full power after their arrival.

When the three tool bins with tools were dropped, the last one to be airdropped was the tool bin with the simple base module.

These base modules, which have already been built on Blue Star, are assembled into a small Martian colony.

State-of-the-art circulatory and planting systems are capable of self-sufficiency for these ten astronauts on Mars!

There's even an individual cabin for everyone!

After the four astronauts on the ground confirmed that the airdrop had started, they drove the shuttle and left. They didn't want to be hit by a large box hundreds of meters long.

After these skyscraper-like metal boxes passed through the atmosphere, flames began to be ejected from the bottom. At the same time, a large number of airbags appeared on the box, and the parachute had also popped into the air.

After the four giant metal boxes landed, all the metal plates of the boxes were unfolded, revealing the various equipment components packed inside.

"It looks like a big project." Several astronauts swallowed.

Fortunately, the Titan Group has prepared a large number of humanoid robot labor for the first Mars base, and the heavy physical work does not require these astronauts to do it themselves.

With the busy work of two hundred robots, the first Mars advance base has already taken shape.

The metal box walls of the tool storage were dismantled and assembled together to form the walls of the base. These 15-meter-high metal walls firmly encased the entire base.

And the top and bottom metal of the tool bin, after simple excavation, served as the base "floor" buried under the foundation!

The first to be assembled is the living quarters of the astronauts. Dozens of cylindrical cabins are spliced ​​together to form a circular living area. The corridors of the circular ring connect various functional cabins. It is a planting greenhouse under construction, and the entire greenhouse will be covered by a transparent dome of composite materials so that the vegetables grown can receive sufficient sunlight.
