"Boss, the North American Institute of Cosmos has made up the $30 million in membership dues in arrears over the past five years. The account arrived at nine o'clock this morning!" Tan Zonghan, the new Secretary-General of the Space Alliance Committee, reported to Tang Xiaochuan.

Tang Xiaochuan laughed and said after listening, "I thought they would continue to be hard-hearted. If this happens, then we can only unite with the Western European Union and the Xiong Country to start anew. I didn't expect the Mei Lijian people to be afraid too!"

"Okay, in that case, we promised to lease a few test cabins and living cabins to the Western European Union and the Bear Country before we proceed, but the fees that should be collected cannot be less!"

"OK!"

Yu Zhizhong, director of the Space Research Center, rushed over to report to Tang Xiaochuan after Tan Zonghan left.

"Boss, after nearly three months of training and learning, the members of the aerospace scientific expedition team who landed on Mars for the second time have successfully completed the assessment. According to the scheduled plan, they will be arranged to take a manned spacecraft to Mars in one week! "

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "How far is the Earth from Mars in one week, and how long will it take to travel to Mars with the Galaxy II spacecraft this time?"

"The total voyage is 116,288,500 kilometers, and the sailing time is about 2 months, 09 days and 15 hours!"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "The time is a bit long, it's been more than two months!"

"Boss, this speed is already very fast. Although we can send people to take a spacecraft when the distance to the ground fire is the shortest to save time and energy as much as possible, it will take another ten years to wait until the distance to the ground fire is the shortest. This time It’s too long, we can’t wait, and space research institutions in other countries will not stop chasing us, so we can only spare the cost without considering more energy consumption. Astronauts taking the test mission must stay on Mars for two to three years. Otherwise, the energy consumed by the spacecraft between frequent ground and fire is too great. With our current technology, it is impossible to control the cost at all, unless Master more advanced energy utilization techniques!"

Tang Xiaochuan considered for a while and nodded, "Well, let this group of aerospace scientific expedition teams take the Galaxy II to Mars as planned!"

"Okay, I'll go back and deliver the headquarters order to them! Are you going to see them off then?"

"I'll be there!"

A week later, Tang Xiaochuan arrived at the Sky Station in an aircraft. The other fifth of the Sky Station was erecting the keel. Many astronauts were wearing spacesuits and were performing operations. They used high-tech equipment to assist in the installation. The operation speed was very fast and efficient. Very high, quality can be guaranteed.

When the aircraft stopped, the docking hatch opened and the aircraft door opened. Tang Xiaochuan wore a light space suit and got off the aircraft and walked into the sky station.

"Hello boss!" Yu Zhizhong led the sky station master and several high-level managers to greet him at the docking cabin door.

Tang Xiaochuan nodded and shook hands with the senior managers one by one.

"Hi boss!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"I'm tired. It's not easy to work here away from my family for many years!" Tang Xiaochuan shook hands with an executive.

"Yes, thank you boss for your concern. We feel very comfortable working here. We even regard this as our home!"

After exchanging greetings with the senior executives of the Sky Station, Tang Xiaochuan asked Yu Zhizhong: "Are the Mars aerospace expedition team members ready?"

"Doing the final psychological counseling!"

"Let's go, go and see!"

Tang Xiaochuan and his party came to the hall where the scientific expedition team members gathered. Eight people have completed the psychological counseling training, including Tang Xiaochuan’s bodyguard and the high-intelligence robot bodyguard Lin Feng. Regarding Lin Feng’s true identity, only Tang Xiaochuan was the only one. Yes, no one knew that he was Tang Xiaochuan's bodyguard, and no one knew that he was actually just a robot.

Tang Xiaochuan's arrangement of Lin Feng into the scientific expedition team is the last card. His task is to ensure that the experimental data and various data collected on Mars are not leaked, and to ensure that the loyalty of this scientific expedition team does not appear. Problems, but the scientific expedition team actually has another member responsible for security on the bright side, and this person is responsible for the security on the bright side.

"Everyone, the boss came to see everyone and see you off!"

The eight aerospace scientific expedition team members all stood up and applauded when they saw Tang Xiaochuan and his party approaching.

Tang Xiaochuan walked to the front and raised his hand to press down on the eight scientific expedition team members. After everyone's applause stopped, he said: "Everyone, I know that you have successfully completed these three months of study and training. I’m very happy that I have passed the assessment. Today, everyone is going to Mars. I believe that everyone’s mood at this moment must be a little excited, and there are also some worries!"

"I hope everyone will properly restrain the excitement, and at the same time don't worry too much. Too much excitement and worry will make us lose our composure and be unable to maintain a good state!"

"In terms of safety issues, the scientific expedition team itself must strictly abide by the relevant regulations, and try to ensure that there is no problem with itself and the spacecraft during the voyage and after reaching Mars! At the same time, the Mars scientific expedition team of our sky station will also be 24 hours a day. It is in the state of logistical communication and service, and there is a rescue team and the latest manned spacecraft on standby. All year round, at every moment, this rescue team and this latest manned spacecraft are always on standby. Everyone can set off to Mars for rescue, so you don’t need to worry about safety at all. If a safety problem really occurs, as long as everyone persists, you can definitely wait until the rescue spacecraft arrives!"

"Here, I want to remind everyone that this time Galaxy II carried some construction engineering equipment, materials, domestic water and air equipment, photovoltaic energy panels, as well as food for one year, as well as some crop seeds and frozen poultry and livestock. Embryos, but you need to survive on Mars for two years!"

"So, the first thing you do after you fly to Mars is not to conduct scientific research activities, but to build observatories and shelters for survival, and then try to build an indoor ecology that can be used to grow crops and raise poultry and livestock. Garden, and strive to be self-sufficient in food, vegetables and meat!"

"According to experiments that simulate the Martian environment, our scientists have been able to determine that this series of construction and production tasks can be completed on Mars! The work tasks are uniformly assigned by the captain of the scientific expedition team, the captain, and the person in charge of the Mars base. , The members perform their duties, help each other and collaborate. Two years later, I hope to see everyone coming back here!"

After Tang Xiaochuan gave a brief speech and cheered up, a scientific expedition team of eight people boarded the Galaxy II spacecraft in spacesuits.

During working hours in the spacecraft, all scientific expedition team members must wear work space suits in accordance with the regulations. This kind of uniform can ensure the safety of the astronauts in a short period of time no matter what happens, only in the rest, life, entertainment area and sleep. The cabin is allowed to wear casual clothes, and during outdoor operations, you must wear space suits for space operations anyway to fully protect your own safety.

Seeing the two light blue tail flames of the Galaxy No. 2 disappear into sight, all the high-level staff and staff of Tang Xiaochuan and the Sky Station withdrew their gazes.

"The communication of Galaxy No. 2 is normal, and the communication is being kept open... All system equipment is normal, and the sailing speed is now 13.8 KMS, and the speed is increasing..."
