"Report! The equipment has been inspected! All personnel and equipment are in good condition and can leave the cabin at any time!" when the inspection is completed, Peng Ming, as the person in charge of the landing and the aircraft pilot, immediately replied to Dijiang!

    "Very good! According to the data, the temperature outside the aircraft is now minus 104 degrees! It is suitable for out of cabin activities. Now I order to open the cabin door and perform the task!" Captain Qiu ordered immediately after receiving the reply from the crew.

    With Captain Qiu''s order and the attention of all the personnel in the cabin, the tail cabin door of the aircraft was slowly opened.

    After the tail cabin was opened, all personnel in the cabin slowly came to the intersection of the aircraft cabin door and the Martian ground side by side, and finally took the first step of human civilization on Mars.

    When everyone took this step, everyone cheered loudly in the communication instrument. As others said loudly inside, this is not only a small step for us, but also a big step for human civilization.

    In this regard, Captain Qiu shook his head, but did not stop these people, but quietly listened to their cheers.

    He knows these young people too well. You know, these people who landed on Mars this time are all post-90s and post-90s. Naturally, they are much freer and more energetic than his Post-70s. Are they young people after all?

    If they don''t cheer at this time, he will have to think about whether these young people can really afford the future of human civilization.

    After cheering for a while, the young people in the communicator finally stopped and sounded their mission to land on Mars. They all returned to the Phoenix I space plane and drove several special Mars rovers out of the cabin.

    Although it is said that the volume of these Rovers is basically not very large, after all, where is the cabin volume of Phoenix I space plane? If the rover is too huge, it is impossible to fit into the cabin of Phoenix I space plane.

    But it''s not small. It''s even the size of an ordinary off-road vehicle on earth.

    These Rovers not only look like water chestnut, very domineering, but also have a very sense of security.

    In fact, it is also true that although these Rovers look small, the weight of each rover has reached more than ten tons.

    The reason why there is such a heavy weight is actually the reason why it is specially designed and manufactured for this and future missions. The shell of this Mars rover is the latest armored steel and glass developed by Wang Bin''s Tiangong Technology Institute, which is also their latest product.

    At the same time, the interior of the rover, like other space and outer planet exploration equipment, has perfect oxygen life maintenance and circulation equipment, which can not only ensure the safety of internal personnel, but also maintain the survival guarantee of internal personnel for a long time.

    Most importantly, these Rovers actually have a certain attack capability. In case of emergency, these Rovers can also attack threatening targets.

    Finally, in addition to the above functions, the rover is also equipped with various scientific research and exploration equipment, such as soil collection equipment, rock fragmentation equipment, ground exploration equipment, deep drilling equipment and so on.

    Each vehicle can carry a large number of equipment at most, and can also carry 4 ~ 8 members, but it is a rare means of transportation on Mars.

    This time, the Phoenix I space plane carries four such rovers, that is, these Rovers can carry up to 32 members, that is, if they are in danger, they can take all of them away at one time.

    As the small Rovers quickly left the cabin of the plane, the tracks of these Rovers immediately added pieces of dust on the Martian ground, leaving tracks behind the rovers.

    As the rover left the cabin, the astronauts who landed on Mars officially began various tasks on Mars, such as collecting soil and rocks within five kilometers, collecting specific data of various landforms within a few kilometers, drilling shallow underground conditions, etc.

    In addition, as the person in charge of this task, Peng Ming''s task is much heavier than that of others. His task is to go to the underground lake area near the landing point for drilling, and the depth should at least reach the underground liquid area, that is, about two kilometers underground.

    Naturally, he didn''t complain about this, but gladly took over the task. Therefore, after landing, he drove a Mars rover specially equipped with drilling equipment to the area and began drilling immediately.

    But when he started drilling, he found that his task was much more difficult than he thought. After all, before the start, although he was ready to encounter difficulties, he didn''t think of the difficulties he encountered at the beginning of the task.

    That is the underground hardness of the underground lake area, which was far beyond his expectation. He is also very clear about this reason. That is because the temperature of Mars is very low. Even if it is close to the noon of Mars, the temperature of its south pole is below minus 100 degrees.

    At this temperature, the hardness of ice is very hard. Even the drill bit of drilling equipment is made of very hard special steel. The drilling speed is very slow, and the loss of the drill bit is beyond his expectation.

    After nearly an hour of drilling, his Rover only drilled less than 100 meters on the ice surface of the underground lake at the south pole of Mars, which made him a little anxious.

    After all, according to the data of previous detectors, the average thickness of the ice layer in the place where the underground lake is located, that is, where he is located, has reached more than two kilometers. Even if the ice layer in his area is the thinnest, its thick bottom is more than 1.5 kilometers.

    If we continue to drill at this speed, it will take at least a few days to drill below a kilometer.

    After all, according to the plan, they only work two to three hours a day, so at this speed, they can only drill two or three hundred meters a day.

    And his previous scheduled drilling time was only one day, so he was very depressed.

    However, he has no good way to do this. After all, this is the best deep drilling bit of human civilization. If other bits are used, it is great to be able to drill a few meters deep in an hour. It is still a huge problem whether they can even drill.
