Chapter 793 Departure on behalf of all mankind

In the astronaut lounge of Arc Light Aerospace, the team members who will carry out the Mars mission are taking final rest.

Soon they will take off on two aerospace passenger planes, then board the Mars spacecraft in space, set off to Mars, and start mankind's first journey to Mars.

The Mars spacecraft had been moved out of the dock and moved to the Tiangong Space Station.

After all, the dock has not been built yet, so it would be a bit inappropriate to hold a ceremony there. The Tiangong Space Station is more beautiful.

When the Mars spacecraft was pushed out from the dock by a tugboat, and then used a temporary power supply to turn on the intelligent system, allowing the intelligent system to start the nuclear fusion reaction device, turn on all systems, and fly to the side of the Tiangong Space Station with blue light, It’s also quite shocking to the whole world.

This big guy can really fly, and it can fly just by relying on its intelligent system, and it can fly so well.

A big thing more than two hundred meters long, a real spaceship. This feeling is not comparable to that of an aerospace aircraft. This means that human beings truly have the power to cross the stars.

Dong Chen was also in the lounge, chatting with Musk, who was about to embark on his dream journey. By the way, Xiang Wu, who had already served as the chief designer of the arc-light spacecraft, also took time out to participate.

"...Oh, Mr. Musk, that's great for you. You can actually participate in the first human Mars landing event. In fact, I also want to go. Unfortunately, I also have to preside over the design of the new spacecraft, so I can't do without it."

Xiang Wu sighed and envied Musk.

"Come on, even if you don't take charge of the design of the new spacecraft, you won't be able to go to Mars. Who doesn't mean you are not a professional astronaut? Landing on Mars for the first time for a scientific investigation is not a trip, and the risk is also very high." Dong Chen complained mercilessly beside him.

Well, the main reason is that he can't go either, so he needs someone to support him so that his resentment won't be so heavy.

Xiang Wu glanced at Dong Chen when he heard this, and then seemed to have thought of something: "By the way, it seems that you can't go either, and you are still under the control of Brother Sun."

"Haha, when I think of this, I suddenly feel balanced."

"Damn it, there's no point in laughing. You're talking like he doesn't care about you."

Seeing the two rookies pecking each other, Musk looked at the team members who were chatting and relaxing. He felt like he was in a dream.

"I still can't believe it. This day has come so quickly. I can actually lead the advance team to Mars for scientific investigation. It feels like a dream."

Listening to Musk's emotion, Xiang Wu was immediately unwilling.

"I said, Mr. Musk, you are about to board a ship and set off for Mars in a while. Isn't it a little late for you to feel like you are dreaming now? You are a typical man who is full and doesn't know how hungry he is."

"Haha, that's right," Musk suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because he's older, he's fifty, and sometimes he does feel a little emotional."

"It has always been my dream to go to Mars as early as possible while my health is still good, and it has come true now."

Not only Xiang Wu was speechless at this sudden emotion about his age, but Dong Chen was also speechless.

Although the two of them are only in their twenties and cannot understand what it means to be fifty, as modern people, the age limit is not that big, right?

I feel that when it comes to the topic of actual "age" now, if the age gap is not particularly large, and it is not the kind of biological age of being too young or too old, it may be more reliable to say psychological age.

So Dong Chen said, "Musk, fifty is not old. Haven't you felt any changes in the past few days? Those injections were not in vain."

"You should say that while you are still young and have enough adventurous spirit, now is the right time to go to Mars."

"Uh...okay."

He only said a few words and was refuted by the two people next to him, so Musk simply stopped talking about it.

After touching his face, which indeed felt several years younger, he began to talk to Dong Chen and the others about the new spaceship.

He is also looking forward to the new spaceship.

Although the spacecraft they were about to board was already what he considered to be the highest level of technology on earth, but... as a good-looking person, when the level was sufficient, it was time to consider the issue of good looks.

He now also knows that this spaceship is an emergency design. It's not that he dislikes it. Well, there is a new one, which is more perfect. He still prefers the new one.

After all, those new spaceships are carefully designed, beautiful in appearance and complete in function. He likes them very much.

But after a while, a notification came from outside.

Time is up.

It's time to head towards the stars and the sea.

Dong Chen stood up and shook hands with Musk and said, "Then I wish you success in your mission."

"Okay, thank you." Musk also shook hands with him and said, "We will definitely fulfill our mission. Just wait for our triumphant return."

Xiang Wu also came to join in the fun, took Musk's hand and shook it, "You must keep an eye on my spaceship. This is the first long-distance spacecraft to Mars that I designed. Don't let me break it."

"I know," Musk said with a smile, "its "body" is definitely better than ours. If anything happens to us, it will be fine. If something happens to it, you won't have the chance to punish me. Ha ha."

"Bah, we Chinese all pay attention to auspiciousness. What are you talking about?" Xiang Wu said quickly, "I should say a smooth journey... Well, I wish the mission goes well."

To say smooth sailing in space means that we can only follow the solar wind. But if the solar wind breaks out, it will not be fun.

"Thank you, your spaceship and our team members will definitely come back safely." Musk finally smiled.

They said this here, and Dong Chen had already shaken hands with each member of the advance team, then said some words of encouragement and let them set off.

Although a special press conference had been held before, allowing these warriors to collectively show off, on the day of departure, Arclight Aerospace still invited reporters from all over the world to Arclight Aerospace to present this precious The moment was recorded with various images.

"This is China's No. 1 TV station. Dear viewers in front of the TV, you can see that all members of the Earth's first Mars exploration team have appeared. They are preparing to take the space plane to the Tiangong Space Station, where Driving mankind’s first real spaceship to fly to Mars..."

"This is an American TV station. We are now at the Arc Space Airport on Arc Island. Humanity's first Mars landing journey will start here. The person we see walking at the front is the familiar celebrity Musk. This time he is led by The president of an aerospace company became the captain of the Mars exploration team precisely because Mars is his dream, and he did it for..."

"Hello, audience members before the live broadcast, our reporters are on Arc Island, and the warriors who are coming to us are the warriors who landed on Mars this time. There are forty of them in total. This is definitely the first time in human history. Landing on Mars once has to be said to be a miracle. I believe the netizens in front of the screen would not have thought that the first human landing on Mars would be on such a large scale..."

Musk led the thirty-nine team members and waved to the reporters majestically. Some younger reporters couldn't help cheering for them and seemed very excited.

This team does not belong to any country, and the purpose of the mission does not have any political interests. Moreover, the team members include several major races in the world, which can be said to represent the earth to a certain extent.

Therefore, this Mars landing mission is a feat that belongs to all mankind, and the Arc Light Group has always said so, and it is difficult for other organizations to refute it.

Because this is the fact, other countries can only clap and celebrate from the sidelines, celebrating this honor that does not belong to any country.
