“Victory, start!”

Victory was originally a medium cargo ship, the one that took Yifeng to escape from Earth.It wasn’t well-suited for this short trip, so scientists made a small modification of it, tweaking a range of engine parameters as well as landing settings.

With the order of Yu Yifeng, the "victory number" full of personnel and materials immediately went out.

A thousand kilometers is not long, but the spacecraft can not be vertically downward in free fall, but in a spiral way circling downward.

At this time, on the whole Noah, 50,000 pairs of eyes almost fixed their eyes on the image of the ship, and everyone was secretly praying and praying, hoping that everything would move normally.

"The first power zone is about to close, 30 seconds later to open the landing equipment, the countdown began..."

"Reverse jet rocket open ... the spacecraft slows down, the landing is ready, the flow is 100%..."

“Start the landing buffer!”

On the TV, you can see the entire landing process, and Yu Yifeng's heart is a little nervous.However, this landing technology is simpler than the moon landing, and it should not be particularly difficult for humans.

Only a loud noise was heard, accompanied by a fierce trembling of the picture, and 500 people landed smoothly!

A batch of materials also began to be transported down, engineers immediately built a small base, and reporters began to report on the scene.

“Hello, my name is Gianna.We’ve landed successfully, and behind me is the small Mars base that’s about to be built.From now on, I will give you a wonderful trip to Mars...” A female reporter held a microphone and broadcast it live to the camera.

Hearing the news, a small cheer broke out in the crowd of Noah.

The ship's load is 500 tons, about 30 tons for 500 passengers, and the remaining more than 400 tons are all mechanical equipment and living materials.It will probably have to go back and forth a few times before it can bring everything that is ready.

As the general head of the mission, Dr. Roman immediately began to deploy the task, he divided all the scientists into four groups, respectively, to explore the geology in four directions, each group of about 20 people.

The rest are responsible for building small bases.

“I think the probability of intelligent life on Mars is very small, and the Martians should not exist...” In front of the TV, Dr. Roman squatted down and picked up a red sand rock, “Look, we have explored it several times and found no traces of surface biological activity.”

“However, the possibility of the presence of microbes underground ... bacteria from different planets, which are completely foreign to our human immune system, may be fatal.”So we have to do a strict biosecurity job.”

Then he said to the four members of the group below: "The goal of your visit is to get first-hand knowledge of Mars, including the composition of the atmosphere, traces of life, geological composition, and to find a place that is flat enough for the whole of Noah to land."

After leaving Noah, a strange feeling of uneasiness arose in the hearts of the five hundred, as if the sun in their hearts had gone out, and that warm feeling had disappeared from the bottom of their hearts.

But this sense of unease is deliberately ignored by people, after all, they are not here to travel, but to scientific investigation.

This mission is a dangerous test mission, the first human landing on an alien planet, in which no one knows what the danger.

Either the air leaks, or the extreme temperature difference, or the base building, or the existence of alien life that humans have not discovered... This mission is more dangerous, so many people directly ignore this uneasiness.

The huge excavator began to work, dug out a lot of sand and gravel, and people spent two days digging a basement of about 1,000 square feet here, and then building a small base in the basement.

The Victory spacecraft can also be used as a temporary base, and the spacecraft can temporarily live in some populations.

After another return to Victory, two small nuclear power reactors were also transported, and under the commissioning of engineers, the nuclear power unit began to operate normally, each with a power of about 5,000mw (500,000 kilowatts).

With electricity, people can make oxygen, water, almost anything... After all, three months in spaceflight, human preparation is still very good.

In a small Mars car, Dr. Roman is intensively testing a test tube filled with Martian soil.He found that there were no signs of life activity, and no protein was detected, which also gave him a breath.

Protein detection can be done with double urea reagent, very convenient.However, the color of the test tube in Roman's hand did not change, indicating that there was no protein in it, and there was no life.

Mars is too cold and has no liquid water.In the Arctic region, in particular, more than 100 degrees below zero is room temperature.Cosmic radiation can also directly shine on the ground, in this case, life is difficult to survive.

Immediately, Roman began testing the atmospheric composition again.

“Atmosphere components, 95.32 per cent carbon dioxide, 2.7 per cent nitrogen, 1.6 per cent arganite, 0.13 per cent oxygen, 0.08 per cent carbon monoxide, 210 ppm of water vapor, 100 ppm of nitric oxide, 15 ppm of hydrogen molecules, 2.5 ppm of neon, 850 ppb of heavy water ... are the same as previous test results.”

Upon learning of this result, Roman did not know whether he was happy or unhappy... As a result, large creatures would certainly not have, unless they did not need to breathe.So far, Earth is the only known planet with life.

"I tested the ten-meter layer of soil that had just been dug up and I didn't see any bacteria."

Another scientist seemed a little disappointed and relaxed, and he said very quickly: "Of course, the virus needs a higher-magnitude microscope, and it needs to return to the main laboratory of Noah to carry out the test."Without protein, there should be no life.

He also shook his head.According to the existing knowledge, the vitality of microorganisms is very tenacious, if a planet has microorganisms ... at least there will be traces?

Now, since there is no trace at all, it can only be said that microorganisms are likely to not exist.

“Well, in any case, no biochemical deregulation is allowed until there is no complete confirmation that Mars does not contain life.”Roman said seriously that after learning that there was no life on Mars, he had an unspeakable heavy feeling.

Is the Earth Alone?Is life rare?Is wisdom rare or universal?Why do we rarely see traces of intelligent life?In addition to the inexplicable alien spacecraft of Noah, humans have hardly observed traces of alien life, why is this so?

People don't know anything about the universe, people can only blindly guess the entire universe, don't know, don't know...

Nor does Roman know if he wants life on Mars or not?
