For the Chinese academic community, June is the time for the academician's primary election list to be announced.

At the same time, June is also the third month of the launch of the Heart of Gold...

A silver-white spacecraft is slowly advancing in the deep space tens of millions of kilometers away from the Earth.

Although it is viewed from the background of the distant sun and the red-hot planet that is close at hand, it is as slow as a snail crawling, but in fact it has reached a speed of nearly four kilometers per second.

If it was faster than four days ago, it was the result of nearly 90 hours of active deceleration after being captured by the Mars Gravity system.

Floating in the cabin, staring at the fiery red planet outside the porthole for a long time, Johnson's mouth evoked a triumphant smile.

"Mars! God, we are finally here!"

Holding an electronic camera in his hand, he took a picture of the fiery red planet, and Jones, standing next to the porthole, also gave a sigh of relief.

"...is really beautiful!"

Four days ago, the bfs spacecraft carrying the colonial cabin was successfully separated from the bfr rocket, entering the Mars gravity system and operating in an elliptical orbit around the planet.

Now, after a long active deceleration, the bfr manned spacecraft, called the Golden Heart, has finally successfully approached the upper level of the Martian atmosphere after several complex orbital changes.

Here is the end of their journey.

It will also be the starting point for human civilization to move towards the stars!

"When are we going to land?" Glanced at the planet outside the window, Tavi whispered and said, "I always feel flustered on it."

Unlike Johnson, who is dreaming of becoming Columbus, it is even more different from Jones, who just ran to sign up for the Ares program because of his love affair. He only came here to hide his debts.

Why do you want to come to Mars?

No reason, he has never had any plans to do things.

Maybe when I was drunk, I saw the space-x advertisement, and then I filled out the form with a try-and-try attitude. As a result, even when he forgot about it, someone suddenly called. He told him that he was chosen.

To be honest, he thought it was a scam phone at first. After all, he did not expect that they would really find a black man on the spaceship, and he chose him who had no culture and only played rugby.

Fortunately, Nasa did not ask him to do complicated things. He only trained him with some basic knowledge that the colonists must understand. The specific professional issues will be completed by former Marine Corps player Johnson.

Unlike him and Jones, the "Captain" of the Golden Heart is an astronaut who has been selected and trained professionally. He signed a contract with space-x a few years ago.

It is said that there was no Arris plan at that time. Huaguo has not yet started to carry people on the moon. Colonial Mars is purely space-x's own plan...

"Let's land soon!" Leaving the side of the porthole, Johnson floated to his seat and watched the two teammates standing in the cabin clap their hands. "Good guys... and ladies, our future The new home is in sight. The current track height is 316.7 kilometers, and it will reach the target airspace in 5 minutes! Please wear the Mars spacesuit and connect the environmental control system. When you are ready, give me an ok gesture!"

Tightly inserted the tube of the environmentally-controlled life insurance system under the seat, fixed his own Taiwei with a seat belt and looked around. He asked nervously: "How long will we live here?"

Johnson smiled heartily and said: "Fast for about four or five years! After the two-round launch window, there will be people who change jobs with us. Of course, it may be a lifetime, I like it very much. The scenery here is like Las Vegas, looking at a long yellow sand."

Taiwei couldn't help but vomit: "Las Vegas is not so desolate!"

"Then we will build it a little bit like that... guys, get ready to land! The cabin environmental control system starts, 3, 2, 1... Ignite!"

"New World, we are here!"

As the spacecraft reached the target airspace, at the moment the track calibration was completed, Johnson pressed the landing button.

As a violent tremor came from the seat underneath, the porthole quickly saw it, and the dome-shaped shuttle-shaped aircraft was opened behind them, farther and farther away from them.

Feeling the pull of gravity, Tavi whispered awkwardly with "Xie Te", and Johnson's teeth sitting on the main driver's seat clenched, but his face was full of excitement.

Also sitting in the cockpit, Jones's expression was tense, his eyes looked nervously around, and he silently prayed for the peace of this trip.

No matter what kind of mood, no matter what motivation, they have already taken the first step towards Mars.

As for the next step, if you go, only God can answer them...

......

Even at the point of proximity, Mars and the Earth are separated by thousands of kilometers.

Sending an e-mail from here to the Earth will take at least three minutes. Therefore, after entering the Mars gravity system, the ground command center of Nasa has been difficult to accurately track the route of the Golden Heart and provide full navigation.

However, the three-minute delay has brought a lot of difficulty to the command work, but it has not hindered the news of the successful landing of the heart of the gold on the earth...

Jinling Space Launch Center.

Since the establishment of the Lunar Track Construction Committee, it has become the home base of the Lunar Track Construction Committee.

In order to facilitate the construction of the lunar orbit, not only the two major groups of Aerospace Aerospace set up offices here, but even the Space Agency moved almost two departments from Shangjing.

At this moment, an emergency report meeting is taking place in the conference room on the first floor of the launch center command tower.

Standing at the conference table, Chen Yunhai, deputy director of the Space Agency and director of the organization department of the Lunar Track Construction Committee, holding a report in his hand, looked grim at this moment and said with meticulousness.

"...35 minutes ago, we received a message from the Luzhou Radio Astronomical Observatory. Through the active space signal diagnosis and identification, the artificial electromagnetic wave communication signal was transmitted from Mars, and the message transmission time was 10 minutes."

Putting the report in his hand on the table, he looked around the conference table and continued after the pause.

"Here is the report of the fast project team. According to their speculation, the heart of the gold should be successfully orbited by Mars!"

A whispering voice sounded at the conference table.

Many people turned their attention to the boat that was sitting at the other end of the conference table and staring at the laptop on the table. Unfortunately, Lu Zhou’s face did not have much expression changes.

Yuan Huanmin, the chief engineer of Hangke Group, was silent for a while and said.

"Are they already starting to land?"

"There is still no certainty, but if they have successfully entered the track, the difficulty of landing will not be great."

Although it was the first time to send people to Mars, this is not the first time Nasa has come to Mars. Beginning with Pirates 1, the US space industry has accumulated half a century of experience in the study of the surface of Mars. Even if there is a problem with the Ares plan, it is unlikely to appear on the ring of Mars.

After hearing the inquiry from Academician Yuan, Chen Yunhai was silent for a few seconds and said.

"It's not certain yet, we are confirming the accuracy of the message..."

"no need."

Sitting in the corner of the conference table, staring at the laptop without talking, Lu Hai suddenly said.

"...they should be successful. The message that the fast project team just captured is probably the video of the gold heart transmission to the Nasa ground command center."

Chen Yunhai squatted slightly and asked the glasses.

"how do you know……"

Lu Zhou did not explain much, turned the laptop around and showed the contents of the video.

"Because it was just a dozen seconds ago, they have already updated the video on youtube."
