Chapter 368 The long-awaited signal

In the blink of an eye, it is June, and after everyone’s anticipation, the day has finally arrived to officially depart for Mars City.

As the first migration of human beings to an extraterrestrial planet, although the number of people was only a few thousand, it represented the improvement of the level of human civilization.

From a weak civilization that could only use fossil energy and could not even reach the first level, it has begun to impact the second level civilization. This can definitely be called a milestone progress. It allows individuals to see the huge potential for the future development of civilization.

morning.

Xu Yuan arrived at the Mars City migration mission very early and took control of the command center.

He will be watching the whole process.

Prevent unexpected situations from occurring during the process.

After all, there are as many as 5,000 outstanding personnel this time, which is the largest number of people traveling to an extraterrestrial planet since human beings explored space.

It must be taken seriously.

Otherwise, if problems really arise, it will inevitably affect the subsequent transformation of the Martian environment.

Delay progress.

The personnel currently in charge of this mission in the alliance are all relatively young, and they are successors trained by the alliance.

Although each of them is excellent and has gone through multiple selections to come here, they have the opportunity to participate in this century-long project of human civilization.

But after all, we still lack a lot of experience.

Someone needs to be in charge.

It is also worth mentioning that in addition to Xu Yuan, his wife Chen Yuran also came along today.

Because of the gene cell injection, Chen Yuran still looks elegant, as if the years have not left too many traces on her face. At the same time, when she looked at Xu Yuan, the happy and loving look in her eyes never changed.

Their only daughter is also on the spacecraft and will live in Mars City next.

Although as parents they are very supportive and open-minded about what their daughter wants to do, they still have concerns.

In such a special occasion, even if you cannot be on the spacecraft to see them off, you should still be aware of the spacecraft’s situation at any time.

So she took the initiative to ask and followed Xu Yuan over.

In fact, even if she didn’t say it, Xu Yuan would have suggested it.

When the people in the command center hall saw Xu Yuan and Chen Yuran, they all stood up hurriedly.

The look he cast over was full of admiration and respect.

After saying hello, he sat back in his seat at Xu Yuan’s wave.

Xu Yuan didn’t waste any time and immediately took the initiative to ask: “First, what is the current situation?”

Upon hearing this, the relevant commanders in the hall immediately answered.

“Reporting to Chief Xu, all supplies and personnel have now entered the Mars, and the spacecraft will be heading to Mars in forty-five minutes.”

“The planned landing location is near Mars City.”

Since there are a large number of people going to Mars this time, as well as a variety of supplies, the newly commissioned Mars spacecraft was arranged to carry out this migration and transportation mission.

Although the Mars has the slowest flying speed among several interstellar spacecraft, its advantage lies in its huge size.

Have more carrying capacity.

The requirements of this migration mission can be met at once.

Otherwise, if it were other smaller spacecraft, it might take two or three trips.

But the only problem is that at the flying speed of the Mars interstellar spacecraft, it will take more than ten hours to reach Mars.

Compared with the first interstellar spacecraft of human civilization, the Journey, it is still several hours slower.

Of course, compared with the successful completion of this extraterrestrial migration mission, this minor flaw is not a big deal.

Xu Yuan listened carefully to the other party’s words, nodded slightly, then raised his eyes to look at the big screen in front of him.

“Cut to the view from inside the Mars spacecraft.”

“Yes, Chief.”

After receiving Xu Yuan’s instructions, the other party responded by quickly clicking a few times on the operating table.

Then the image in the center of the screen changed to the perspective of the interior of the Mars spacecraft.

After finishing all this, he did not forget to introduce to Xu Yuan: “This time we are migrating the first batch of humans to Mars City. The number of people paying attention to it around the world is as high as billions, so the whole process will be broadcast live, and other people can also see the current pictures.” When saying this, he couldn’t help but feel excited.

I just felt a sense of accomplishment running through my chest.

Human civilization has been able to develop technology to this level in such a short period of time.

They even have the ability to migrate humans to Mars.

It is indeed something that everyone should be proud of.

Be proud of being a part of human civilization.

But everyone knew in their hearts that all this was possible thanks to Chief Xu Yuan in front of them.

Xu Yuan was not surprised by the global live broadcast, after all, this kind of thing has long been a routine.

No matter what, this is a major event for human civilization as a whole, and everyone is qualified to witness it in person.

The only difference is the perspective of the live broadcast.

Because this is the first time that the live broadcast is from the perspective of inside the spacecraft, people watching the live broadcast can have an immersive feeling.

It was as if I was on the Mars spacecraft, heading towards the base city on Mars.

“You guys did a great job.”

Xu Yuan was not stingy at this time and praised the younger generation of people.

After saying that, he returned to his seat and sat with Chen Yuran to watch the live broadcast together.

Whenever Xu Xuan appeared on the screen, Chen Yuran would be very excited and happy that her daughter could realize her dream.

……

Although Mars is still undergoing final debugging and has not been officially launched, the number of online people in the live broadcast room has already reached a very terrifying number.

And this number is still rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The comments from users from all over the world are refreshing so fast and in such large numbers that it is difficult to keep up.

You have to choose to pause.

Everyone was in high spirits as they witnessed together the first time in history that human civilization migrated humans to an extraterrestrial planet.

This means that from now on, human beings no longer need to rely on the earth.

Possessed a stronger ability to survive in the universe.

“How long until we set off? I’m so excited. I didn’t expect that humans will be able to survive on Mars so soon.”

“I originally thought that humans would not migrate to Mars until the environmental transformation of Mars was completed. I thought that our generation would never see it. Fortunately, the Mars City satisfied our regrets.”

“It seems that there will be 5,000 people moving into Mars City this time. I’m so envious!”

“I heard that the number of people that Mars City can accommodate will increase in the future. I wonder if I can get a chance to study related majors now.”

“Thanks to Chief Xu for developing the gene cell injection, which helped me get rid of the nightmare of cancer. Otherwise, I would definitely not have the chance to see this scene today.”

“Is this the interior of our newest spaceship, the Mars?”

“It feels like you are actually there. The perspective is amazing.”

“When are we going to leave for Mars? I can’t wait. I really want to see what’s going on inside the city on Mars.”

“Who doesn’t want to see a city on Mars? After all, being able to ensure the survival of so many people on Mars should be the highest technological achievement of the entire civilization today.”

…Everyone was discussing excitedly in the live broadcast room through barrage, and the topic mentioned most was Mars City.

There are very few reports about the city on Mars on the Internet.

It is a major project of a confidential nature.

The few photos released by the authorities only show some external scenes.

It can’t satisfy everyone’s curiosity at all.

After all, after more than ten years of transformation, although the temperature and air pressure of the Martian environment have increased compared to the beginning, it is still not suitable for humans to survive and develop on it.

In this case, Mars City needs to establish an independent ecological maintenance system.

To ensure the safety of personnel.

It is no exaggeration to say that from this level of analysis alone, today’s Mars City can indeed be regarded as the crystallization of the highest technology of human civilization.

Just as everyone was discussing intensely, the scheduled departure time finally arrived.

It is worth mentioning that because each spacecraft has a separate commander, some orders do not need to be issued from the ground.

Finally, when the live broadcast switched to the external camera, the nuclear fusion engine on board the Mars rover was successfully ignited and started, instantly bursting out with powerful energy and thrust, allowing the spacecraft to take off and accelerate toward the outside of the atmosphere.

Yes.

Considering the positioning of the spacecraft, as well as issues such as manufacturing time and cost.

Although Xu Yuan had already developed a more powerful quantum engine, the only spacecraft that have successfully carried this engine so far are the Voyage that is heading to Proxima Centauri and the Hope that has already been in service.

As for the remaining interstellar spacecraft, they are still equipped with nuclear fusion engines and have not been upgraded.

Mainly relying on nuclear fusion engines, the spacecraft can reach a flight speed that is sufficient for use within the solar system.

The key nuclear fusion engine has a shorter manufacturing time than the quantum engine.

In addition, upgrading all of them to quantum engines may not necessarily be a good thing.

After all, the distances within the solar system are limited, and human footprints in particular are currently mainly between the moon and Mars.

A spacecraft equipped with a quantum engine has no way to accelerate to its maximum flight speed.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, it may fly away from the target.

On the contrary it will delay the task.

However, even though the flying speed of the Mars spacecraft is not as fast as that of the Journey, it is still an interstellar spacecraft after all.

It only takes a dozen hours to reach Mars.

So there was basically no time to think, the spacecraft had already left the atmosphere.

Even through the camera on the outside of the Mars spacecraft, you can see the Journey starship parked above the moon’s orbit.

Ever since the Pioneer and Hope spacecraft successfully rolled off the production line from the lunar manufacturing base and entered service.

The mission of the Zhengtu was greatly reduced.

Tasks such as transporting resources to Mars were assigned to the new spacecraft.

Zhengtu is specifically responsible for the transportation of lunar resources.

So most of the time, Zhengtu will be parked above the moon.

More than ten hours is not a short time in some ways, but to the people in the live broadcast room who are full of emotions, it is nothing at all.

As early as the beginning of the live broadcast, many people posted comments saying that they would stay up all night to witness this great historical moment.

Immersive experience, the feeling of a spaceship flying in space.

that’s it.

As time passed, Mars finally appeared in the camera’s frame.

Finally, according to the predetermined plan, it landed successfully near the Mars city.

And not far away is the asteroid that was supposed to hit Mars.

There are a small number of scientific researchers and engineering robots responsible for construction in the Martian city. This requires the people in the spacecraft to put on spacesuits and take a Martian vehicle to enter the Martian city.

During this process, everyone’s attention in the live broadcast room was focused on the asteroid that looked very shocking.

“I finally saw this asteroid again. Every time I think of the impact scene, I get goose bumps all over my body.”

“The asteroids we see now are much smaller than they were back then.”

“This time I really saw it up close.”

“It can be said that it was this asteroid that opened the chapter for human beings to transform the Martian environment. No wonder they built the Martian city here.”

“Look, the hatch of the spaceship is opening. We are finally going into the city.”

……

Just as the barrage reminded, the hatch of the Mars spacecraft was slowly opening at this moment.

What followed was a group of five thousand people wearing uniform space suits.

Following the commander’s order, he immediately walked out of the cabin door and rushed towards the Martian city ahead.

After several generations of research and upgrading, space suits have become very light.

Even on Mars, it doesn’t affect people’s actions much.

The journey did not take long, and some people had already entered the Martian city.

From the outside, the entire Martian city is covered with a transparent eggshell-shaped cover made of special materials.

The base is completely isolated from the Martian environment, as if it were a completely independent entity.

It can indeed be regarded as the highest technological achievement of human civilization.

In the following time, everyone was completely immersed in the scenery of Mars City and attracted by various advanced technologies.

Even the 5,000 people who entered Mars City couldn’t help but feel curious at this moment.

at the same time.

Xu Yuan and Chen Yuran were also completely relieved. After seeing their daughter enter the city safely, they got up and left.

Afterwards, major media around the world began to carry out extensive publicity on this matter.

Let’s celebrate together the official arrival of humans on Mars.

With the matter of Mars City coming to an end, Xu Yuan started researching the hibernation capsule project.

I want to master this technology before my thinking becomes completely rigid.

Be prepared for human civilization to truly move into the universe in the future.

You have to know that precisely because there is no hibernation capsule, the personnel on the Far-flung spacecraft need to live on the spacecraft for decades.

Although this project encountered considerable difficulties and troubles during the development process.

But after ten years of dedicated research and a large number of experiments, we finally achieved the expected results.

Using this hibernation capsule, people can sleep safely for more than ten years while maintaining their body functions.

It can be said that if they go to Proxima Centauri again, the crew can basically just take a nap and wake up to reach their destination, and avoid the increase of physical aging during the journey.

And just thirty years after the Yuanhang set out, when Xu Yuan retired and returned to Qinghua University to teach mathematics, exciting news suddenly came from the Alliance: a probe located at the edge of the solar system captured the Yuanhang spacecraft signal.
