Chapter 670
On April 2031, 4, 20 days have passed since the launch of the BFR rocket carrying the spacecraft.

In the deep space tens of millions of kilometers away from the earth, a silver-white spaceship is slowly advancing.

Although it looks like a snail crawling slowly against the background of the distant sun and the fiery red planet that is close at hand, in fact it still reaches a speed of four kilometers per second after deceleration at this moment .

If it was before deceleration, its speed would be even faster, but after being captured by the gravity of Mars, it will actively decelerate and change orbits continuously. To enter the orbit of Mars, the number of orbit changes is several times more than that of the moon orbit. Second-rate.

Floating in the spaceship, staring at the fiery red planet outside the porthole, Alves smiled triumphantly.

"Mars! God, we are finally here! We didn't die on the way, we are now in the orbit of Mars!" Alves said, then picked up the camera, and took a picture of the fiery red planet, Yalves Elvis said to Brown and Christiana: "Two guys, we have spent 226 days together, and now we are in the orbit of Mars, should we take a photo together as a souvenir? Believe me, this is very meaningful."

Christiana also came over, looked at the fiery red planet outside the porthole, and couldn't help feeling: "It's so beautiful! It's much more beautiful than the moon! If I can go back to the earth, I think I will like being an astronaut. "

"Idiot woman, astronaut is a boring and dangerous profession, you love to do it, I don't want to be an astronaut." Brown floated his body and floated towards Alves: "Hurry up, finish shooting this In this photo, Christiana and I are about to enter the fire chamber. Those stupid guys at NASA are constantly urging. It is said that the fire chamber was built by Space X. Even if there is an accident, this fire chamber can protect three people. Astronauts have at least three months to survive. I don’t know if Musk, that guy, will tell the truth once in this boarding chamber.”

As the spacecraft is captured by the gravity of Mars, it orbits Mars in an elliptical orbit, but this is not the end. The spacecraft has to go through six orbit changes before entering a synchronous orbit before it is ready to launch the fire module.

Of course, the three astronauts will not enter the fire module at the same time, but Brown and Christiana will enter first, and Alves will enter the fire module half an hour before the final fire module separates from the spacecraft.

When they land on Mars in the fire module, they will leave Mars and enter orbit through the engine of the fire module, and then dock under the control of the ground control system.

"Do you think we will become heroes of mankind? When we return to Earth, will there be countless people holding flowers to welcome us?" In the fire cabin, Christiana saw Alves come in, and the cabin door was officially closed. When it was closed, it suddenly said.

"Christiana, you bitch, be quiet, it would be nice if we don't die on Mars, don't you feel panicky, and want to be a hero, a bear!" Brown said angrily.

"Okay, we have gone through so much time to reach Mars, there is no need to quarrel now!" Alves said: "Now our orbital altitude is 320 kilometers, and we will reach the target airspace in 20 minutes. Going to Mars, as long as we are on Mars for half an hour, we can leave in the fire capsule and return to Earth smoothly. Guys, let’s pray, pray that we can return to Earth safely and end this wonderful and terrible journey!"

"It's really a bad journey. As far as the eye can see, there is a long stretch of yellow sand, just like the Sahara Desert!" Brown said: "It's even worse than the Sahara Desert. At least there is life in the Sahara Desert. There is no sign of life on Mars."

As soon as possible, the time passed.

Under the control of the ground command center, the fire module separated from the spaceship, and then the three of Alves felt a violent vibration coming from the chair. They felt very uncomfortable, and even had to close their eyes. Shout out.

Although the size of Mars is only half that of the Earth, its mass is about one-ninth that of the Earth, and its surface gravity is about two-fifths that of the Earth, the speed at which the fire module falls is actually not as fast as the speed from space to the surface of the Earth , but for the three people who have traveled for a long time, this level is already very scary, and their bodies will not be able to bear it.

But they can only grit their teeth and persist, if they can't persist, they can only die!

In a conference room of the CNSA headquarters building, dozens of staff members were in the conference room. Qin Yuanqing also came over in person, and Zhang Tianqin was sitting next to him.

The big screen has been turned on, and a staff member is reducing: "According to our monitoring system and the information released by NASA, their spacecraft has entered the deceleration phase 5 days ago and was successfully captured by the gravity of Mars."

"According to our satellite reconnaissance, they are now landing on Mars. The fire module has separated from the spacecraft and is moving in this orbit!"

"."

The staff member is constantly introducing the situation. Mars is too far away from the earth, so far that communication is inconvenient. Even NASA itself, using the communication system of the spacecraft, it takes 3 minutes for the message to be sent back to NASA, and the communication delay of 3 minutes It is extremely scary, which means that many things are out of control.It is CNSA, the communication system will be more developed, but the communication delay has reached 30 seconds.

"Has the satellite aligned with the landing point and monitored the spacecraft?" Zhang Tianqin asked.

"Well, it has been adjusted for the first time. This is the current position of the NASA spacecraft. Judging from the photos, the NASA spacecraft is in normal condition and has not failed. The satellite has also been adjusted and is monitoring." The man replied.

Later, regarding the satellite in the orbit of Mars, it was already aligned at that position. Qin Yuanqing even saw the fire chamber enter the atmosphere and produce flames. The moon does not have an atmosphere, but Mars has an atmosphere.

Through the image, we can see that Mars is red. Mars is visually orange because of the widespread distribution of iron oxide on the surface. Its red appearance is unique among celestial bodies visible to the naked eye.

"NASA made a miscalculation this time. The landing point and time they chose coincided with a sandstorm." Suddenly, a person exclaimed, and then saw in the data that the sky was full of yellow, forming a tornado. This is a sandstorm.

Mars is basically a desert planet, with sand dunes and gravel all over the surface, and no stable liquid water. The atmosphere mainly composed of carbon dioxide is thin and cold, and dust is suspended in it. Dust storms often occur every year.

"Scout the electromagnetic waves and see if they are successful!" Zhang Tianqin said.

Qin Yuanqing sighed at this time. He knew that NASA's manned mission to Mars failed this time. Because of the impact of the sandstorm, the fire capsule crashed into a mountain at high speed. You must know that the mountains on Mars are all very high. The speed of the cabin is so fast, under this kind of impact, the cabin is destroyed and death is the only end.

Qin Yuanqing silently mourned for three seconds for the failure of mankind's first manned attempt to land on Mars.

Sure enough, after half an hour of continuous monitoring, no electromagnetic waves came out. NASA's official website lost its other colors and turned white, and officially announced that the three space heroes died heroically. This is a huge loss for mankind.

In less than an hour, the news of NASA's failure to land on Mars spread throughout the world. As a result, the aerospace stocks in North America reacted immediately and were hit hard. Countless people panicked and sold their aerospace stocks, and then The rising curve of aerospace stocks stumbled and fell rapidly.

No matter how well you say it, what is a heroic sacrifice, what is a huge loss to mankind, what has made a great contribution to the development of the world's aerospace industry, and what is remembered in human history.Failure is failure, and failure has a price to pay. Originally, the situation was good, and aerospace stocks were naturally favored. Now that they fail, they are naturally abandoned like shoes. They can't wait to sell their stocks quickly, so as not to become waste paper.

And the heavy fall of aerospace stocks directly led to the decline of the entire market. After all, the U.S. stock market is one of the world's stock market centers. This drop immediately caused a chain reaction. The major stock markets were like frightened birds, all of which fell to varying degrees. .

Even the Huaxia stock market has been implicated. It is clearly developing very well, and Aerospace is advancing by leaps and bounds, but at this time it is turning green. Basically, none of the stocks are red, and all of them are green.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people who play stocks have liquidated their positions, and their hearts are ashamed, and they paid the price for their own leverage and small gains.

Qin Yuanqing did not expect that the failure of NASA's manned landing on Mars would cause such a big reaction, causing global aerospace stocks and stock markets to suffer setbacks. It was simply Black Thursday.However, Qin Yuanqing doesn't pay much attention to the stock market. After all, he doesn't play stocks. He focuses on NASA and private aerospace companies in North America. The failure of manned landing on Mars this time means that NASA will pay the price and spend so much money. In the end, it failed, and the citizens were angry, so they naturally needed to take action, and they needed a scapegoat to give people an explanation.

As for private aerospace companies, although the bosses behind them have acquired huge wealth through money, this does not mean that everything is fine. If it is true, they will also face a series of investigations.

"Interesting, this failure will not be a fatal blow to this dangerous building. If this building collapses, will it have a greater impact than the collapse of the building in 90?" Qin Yuanqing said in a low voice. Talk to yourself.

His eyes looked out of the window, as if he had crossed the Pacific Ocean, and saw a leaning building on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and it collapsed in an instant.

He didn't know if it would be like the dark age when a building collapsed in the 20s, it had nothing to do with him, even if it was, it could only be said to be self-inflicted, no one to blame.

You can still live if you do evil in the sky, but you can't live if you do it by yourself!
