It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Three hours later, they will face the most dangerous time in the Mars landing.

The legendary "7 minutes of terror"!

Chapter 102 Horror 7 min

three hours later.

"Notice!"

"We're going into the Martian atmosphere!"

Looking at the altitude value on the screen in front of him, Andrew's heart beat violently!

Next, it is the legendary 7 minutes of horror!

What is 7 Minutes of Horror?

To put it simply, it takes about 7 minutes to complete this series of actions from the time the spacecraft enters the Martian atmosphere to successfully landing on the surface of Mars.

From the step of entering the atmosphere, every second is full of great terror!

It can be said that if there is the slightest mistake, the Pathfinder landing module with a speed of [-] kilometers per hour will directly fall to the surface of Mars.

At the moment Andrew's voice fell, a strong sense of vibration came from all parts of the landing module!

At an altitude of 125 kilometers, the landing module began to cut into the atmosphere at a specific angle!

This step is crucial!

Once the cutting angle is too small, the landing module will not be able to enter the atmosphere, and if the angle is too large, the landing module will be overheated by the atmosphere and burnt!

Andrew clenched his teeth and stared at the screen in front of him.

After seeing the information that the three landing modules had successfully entered the atmosphere, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Different from ordinary landings on Mars, because there are three landing modules this time, the risks they face are several times greater!

If Pathfinder [-] fails, then they lose their reentry module and Mars module, which means they will be trapped and die on Mars.

If Pathfinder [-] fails, they will lose vital supplies. Although they can choose to return directly without endangering their lives, the Pathfinder plan has also failed.

As for the failure of Pathfinder One... that should be the easiest, at least they won't feel any pain.

……

With the landing module successfully entering the atmosphere, the onboard computer quickly began to execute the next step.

"drop!"

"The trim wing is deployed successfully! Current speed: Mach 3!"

As the prompt sounded, the trim wings of the three landing pods unfolded at the same time, and the phase of trimming the angle of attack began.

"Huh...huh..." Andrew's heart rate accelerated again, and he took a big breath of the oxygen in the spacesuit.

Under the massive secretion of adrenaline, Andrew's concentration at this time reached the peak of his life.

Even in the extremely bumpy landing cabin, he can still clearly see every character flashing across the screen!

"Successful balancing!"

"Get ready to pop the parachute!"

"Drip! Drip! Drip! The parachute failed to eject, switch to manual control!"

When he saw the line of characters in front of him, Andrew's eyes widened suddenly!

WTF? !

What are you kidding? !

You gave me such a fault at this time? !

Andrew kept cursing the NASA space agency in his heart, but the movement of his hands did not slow down at all, and he quickly grabbed the pull ring beside him!

click!

Andrew's complexion suddenly changed.

He didn't pull!

"Andrew! Quickly open the parachute!" Bruno on the side looked at the rapidly dropping altitude value with teary eyes.

Andrew's face was flushed red, and he pulled it violently with all his strength!

Bang!

A strong pulling sensation came!

The parachute opened successfully!

Seeing the rapidly decreasing speed on the screen, Andrew was suddenly relieved.

"Holy shit..." Bruno looked at the console in front of him with a pale face, "Labor and management don't trust NASA anymore..."

Suddenly, Andrew realized a problem, his complexion changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Bruno! Look at number two and number three!"

If the parachutes of Pathfinder [-] and [-] hadn't popped out... Andrew couldn't imagine the consequences at all.

The moment he heard Andrew's words, Bruno felt his heart skip a beat.

His lips trembled slightly as he pressed the button on the console.

Seeing the flashing characters on the display screen, Bruno breathed a sigh of relief.

"No...they're both fine..."

The crisis was temporarily lifted, and Bruno joked palely: "Hehe...NASA seems to care more about those supplies..."

Bruno's hell joke naturally attracted both Andrew and Joey's eyes.

"drop!"

"Legs deployed successfully!"

"The distance measuring speed sensor is working!"

As the prompt sounded, a string of data quickly swiped across the screen.

Andrew glanced at the altitude data.

1.5km.

"We're almost there!" Andrew said softly, his expression slightly moving.

As Andrew's voice fell, a line of characters appeared on the screen again.

"The main engine is ready to start..."

"The main engine is successfully turned on!"

A strong vibration came from the soles of the feet, and correspondingly, there was an even stronger sense of deceleration!

After dozens of seconds, the feeling of deceleration gradually disappeared, and the three landing modules relied on the main engine to hover over Mars.

"Optical imaging starts!"

"Mobile obstacle avoidance is on!"

The landing module slowly adjusted its position in the air, and when the altitude slowly decreased to 100 meters, the laser three-dimensional imager was activated.

With the help of optical imaging and laser imaging, onboard computers quickly analyze data on the Martian surface.

After a few seconds, the computer found a relatively flat location with fewer rocks.

The computer precisely adjusted the operating power of the main engine, and controlled the landing module to slowly lower its altitude.

5m!

4m!

Watching the height on the screen keep decreasing, the three astronauts looked more and more nervous.

This is the last step!

With a slight vibration from the soles of the feet, a dream character suddenly appeared on the screen.

【SUCCEED】

There was silence in the landing cabin.

"We... succeeded?"

Andrew's voice sounded on the team's radio channel: "How are numbers two and three?"

"Successfully landed!" Bruno confirmed briskly, "They are on our left, and we can see them through the porthole!"

Andrew quickly turned his head and looked towards the porthole on the left.

Sure enough, Pathfinder [-] and Pathfinder [-] stood quietly on the red surface of Mars.

"Success! We succeeded!" Joey excitedly unbuckled his seat belt and threw himself into Bruno's arms.

"Wow~" Andrew looked at the scene in front of him and whistled softly, "Pay attention everyone, there are surveillance cameras inside!"

Joey's face was slightly rosy, he raised his head, glared at Andrew through the glass mask, and returned to his chair with a stinky face.

Andrew ignored the two of them, took a deep breath to calm down, and then turned on the radio communication switch.

"Call Houston, this is Pathfinder [-], we have successfully landed!"

"Repeat, we have successfully landed, the astronauts are in good health and ready for extravehicular operations at any time!"

Chapter 103 The Moon Mining Project is Ready to Launch

America.

Houston Ground Command Center.

The moment the voice from Mars was heard, the entire Houston command center burst into thunderous applause!

"God Bless Millican!"

Looking at the scientific researchers standing up and clapping vigorously in front of him, Professor Chris murmured with tears in his eyes.

A relaxed smile also appeared on the face of Chief Moulton beside him.

His position as chief is saved!

Professor Chris slowly stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture in the air.

The noisy applause and discussions in the Houston command center gradually stopped, and every scientific researcher's complexion was slightly flushed, and there was excitement in the eyes looking at Chris.

When the Houston command center was completely quiet, Professor Chris swallowed slightly, reached out to pick up the microphone, turned on the radio switch and said softly: "Houston received it! Congratulations! You are the heroes of Millikin!"

"Now, I announce that the outboard operation will begin!"

Perhaps because of being too excited, Professor Chris's voice was a bit hoarse.

But even so, the conversation between Andrew and Professor Chris, which was nearly 10 minutes apart, spread throughout the United States at that moment!

……

"The United States Never Say Never!"The Pathfinder project has been successfully implemented and has successfully landed on the Utopia Plain! "

Greetings from Mars!America has made history again! "

One Small Step for America, One Giant Leap for Mankind! "

"The United States will eventually rise again! "

At the moment when the Pathfinder series successfully landed on Mars, all the newspaper offices rushed to print the newspapers of the day!

The overwhelming news overwhelmed every American in an instant!

Just as President Albert said that day: "I will not allow any American to not know this news!"

At the moment when the news was reported, countless American citizens spontaneously rushed to the streets and began to celebrate this historic moment!

The Twitter server was even down because of this incident!

"Hahahaha! I know it! Sometimes if you don't force NASA, they don't know how much they are capable of!"

"God be with Millican!"

"Xia Guo is still landing on the moon, right? Hahahaha, by the time their Moon Palace plan is implemented, our US flag of freedom will have already filled every inch of Mars!"

"How did the flying dragon lose?!! Tell me, how to lose!!"
