Chapter 806 Slow motion drift into the library

In the end, Dong Chen did not tell Musk that there was any danger on the earth. He just said that after they came back from Mars, he would find a suitable time and announce the matter to the outside world.

Now that the Mars mission was at a critical moment, he stopped distracting them, and asked Musk not to tell others that it was really not appropriate to talk about this on the spacecraft.

And he also told Musk that he had actually started making preparations and that there would be no big problem in responding to emergencies.

Of course, as long as there are no pig teammates crazy to hold him back, otherwise he won't be able to carry him no matter what.

"...Well, since you said so, I won't ask. Just be prepared."

Musk shrugged indifferently. The fact that he can serve as the captain of the first Mars mission shows that he is not a timid person, but a guy with an extremely strong spirit of adventure.

"I will lead the team to explore Mars first. It is really difficult to tell them that there are dangerous things on the earth at this time, which may easily affect the smooth progress of the Mars mission."

"Well, that's what I mean," Dong Chen said in agreement, "Actually, I've prepared everything, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Mainly, this mission is the first time humans have landed on Mars. It is also a milestone event for our group. There is no need to mess it up because of such news."

Musk nodded after hearing this, feeling that what Dong Chen said made sense, and he thought so too.

Turning to look out the window of the living area, the red planet is actually very close in front of us. Although the spacecraft will take more than two days to arrive, it has been decelerating for two days. In fact, it is very close, and it is already This is the closest time humans are to this planet.

And in three days, he will lead a team to land on it, and will be the first people in human history to set foot on the red planet.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

All this comes from the... uh, the operator of the robot next to him, Dong Chen, who is actually far away on earth at this time.

Musk was lamenting about life. After Dong Chen knew that there were no maintenance tasks, he also went offline.

The starry sky is always silent, but the earth is always lively, especially the earth now.

The United States' "Tutatis" project has reached the final stage, and the "Hercules" have pushed it to the earth's orbit.

Now it is slowing down further, so that it can finally stop steadily next to the new International Space Station under construction, instead of diving into the arms of the earth and giving it a "passionate" embrace.

The earth may not feel much about this kind of hug, and may only tremble a little bit, but humans are probably stifled by it.

This kind of hug is really too hot for humans to bear.

And the closer it is to completion, the greater the publicity in the United States will be, and the more people will pay attention to this matter. Can it not be exciting?

Moreover, the United States’ propaganda methods are endless, and they can always get straight to the heart.

"I feel like my results are in doubt. I won't be able to get the three million yuan. In the end, I'll be in fifth place at most."

"Master, fifth place is enough. There is also a bonus of one million yuan for fifth place. There is such a big reward just for taking a photo. It is already enough."

"The United States has really worked hard for publicity this time. The "Tutatis" photography competition actually has a prize of 10 million. I remember they held several competitions around this project. This is too generous. ?The United States is too rich!"

"Speaking of which, can't we allocate this money directly to aerospace agencies for research and development? Why should it be used as prize money for photography competitions? Isn't this a bit wasteful?"

"It depends on the comparison. You may feel that it is better to directly allocate 10 million to the space agency. Maybe the United States feels that this money is more useful for publicity. The benefits obtained in the later period may be even higher."

"Hey, I said you guys are just free. It's their business how they spend their money. As long as we can get the money, I'll get an excellence award anyway, and I can also get a thousand yuan."

"It is said that the United States has begun planning to auction asteroid fragments. After the "Tutatis" asteroid stops next to the new International Space Station, they will auction the first ten rocks mined from it, and then they will never do it again. Rocks from Toutatis will not be sold."

"Look, the money I spent will be back soon, and maybe I can even make a lot more."

"No way? The moon rocks from Arclight Aerospace are almost given away casually, but the asteroid rocks here can be auctioned for big prices? Are you kidding me?"

"I guess the price doesn't matter. In the end, it's just a commemorative thing. Didn't you see it was said to be the first ten yuan? The first batch of moon rocks in the hands of the rich people who first went to the moon are very collectible."

"Stop talking, go watch the live broadcast. The live broadcast has started. The final return moment has arrived. Don't miss it. This is a very memorable moment."

"Is it starting now? I'm going to take a look...it's true, time flies by so fast, I went to watch the live broadcast!"

The last moment finally came. The huge "Tutatis" asteroid was pushed by the "Hercules" to the same orbit as the new International Space Station. The "Hercules" sprayed fierce flames, allowing the fast-moving The asteroid slowed down, eventually slowing down to the speed of a satellite orbiting the Earth.

Near the Earth, there are more camera images. The United States sent a small unmanned aircraft from the space station to assist in shooting, providing a third perspective away from the asteroid itself. This was specially developed by them for shooting. Video of aircraft.

After all, their new International Space Station is a big project, and it needs to be unveiled and publicized occasionally.

Of course, the main reason is that Arc Light Aerospace has this kind of equipment, and of course they cannot lack it.

During the process of the "Tutatis" asteroid decelerating, its flight attitude was constantly adjusted, and this wonderful scene was recorded through unmanned photography equipment.

If the ion engine of the arclight spacecraft "Yuanxian" was ignited before, and the long light strip dragged out was the movement of "ballistic missiles", then the current "Tutatis" asteroid plus dozens of "Hercules" Smart thrusters are "rocket" movements.

Because its attitude is constantly adjusting, the engines in all directions need to be ignited, so when viewed from a distance, the entire asteroid is on fire.

Sometimes there are a few flames shooting out here, and sometimes there are a few bunches of flames shooting out there, and sometimes there are flames shooting out all over the body, just like a piece of ginger sprouting everywhere.

This situation made the audience very excited to watch, because this is a human being controlling this behemoth that is nearly five kilometers away, and he still wants it to go wherever he wants, without daring to object at all.

Until the audience before the live broadcast could see the new International Space Station from the perspective of an asteroid, and also saw the "germinating ginger" from the perspective of the new International Space Station, they knew that the highlight was coming.

When approaching the new International Space Station, the speed of the "Tutatis" asteroid has been quite slow. At this time, it is time for the "Hercules" intelligent thruster to show operation.

Finally arriving at the previously scheduled position, the "Hercules" intelligent thruster exerted an appropriate amount of force on the asteroid, allowing the "Tutatis" asteroid to accurately and stably stop next to the new International Space Station.

At this point, the first giant near-Earth asteroid captured by humans has been safely settled.
