"Nuclear reactor output is stable."

    "The electromagnetic field output is stable."

    "The RF generator frequency is stable."

    "The power of nuclear ion thruster is stable and everything is normal!" all indexes are within the normal fluctuation range.

    Du Xingyu stood up and shouted, "everyone, I declare that the test run of nuclear ion thruster is successful!"

    "Success!" everyone in the control center was filled with joy.

    "From today on, the distance between the earth and Mars is no longer our obstacle!" Xia Tong clenched his fist and said excitedly: "with nuclear power ion thrusters, we will launch Mars probes and spacecraft in the future, so we don''t have to take the earth fire transfer orbit or worry about the window period. We can visit Mars in more than a month!"

    "Nuclear ion thrusters, we have reached a new level in aerospace dynamics!" Liu Yuan said with emotion. The successful research and development of nuclear thermal rocket thrusters and nuclear ion thrusters has suddenly increased the distance of human space navigation thousands of times!

    "Xiao Du, are you interested in going to our Atomic Energy Research Institute?" Zhou Ziang began to dig people directly.

    "No, Du Xingyu is the treasure of our space agency. You can borrow someone, but you can''t dig a corner!" he Jingcheng joked.

    Du Xingyu said with a smile, "there will be a time to visit."

    "Now that the test run of the nuclear ion thruster is successful, we can complete the manufacture of the Mars spacecraft Yinghuo." He Yan can''t wait and said, "it will create a new record in the history of human manned spaceflight."

    "Let''s go and see our thrusters!"

    ……

    With the successful test run of the nuclear ion thruster, the manufacturing speed of the Mars spacecraft Yinghuo has also been greatly accelerated.

    During this period, naturally, there will be some problems and difficulties, but they can be solved in time with the wisdom of everyone. Therefore, this Mars exploration mission has successfully become a manned Mars landing mission.

    "I apply to be a member of the manned landing on Mars," Du Xingyu said calmly in Cao Liang''s office.

    "It''s hard for me to agree to your request..." Cao Liang appreciated and was helpless to Du Xingyu. There is no doubt about Du Xingyu''s talent. Because of his arrival, NASA has made a lot of world-class achievements.

    But sometimes he is too radical. For example, now, even if the Mars spacecraft can be successfully built, landing on Mars is a very dangerous thing!

    Hundreds of millions of kilometers away, once the spacecraft is in danger during space flight or Mars landing, the earth can''t support it.

    "This is not a landing on the moon. The risk factor is greater!" Cao Liang said. "You just need to command on the ground. The landing task will naturally be completed by astronauts."

    "I''ve considered it seriously," said Du Xingyu. His eyes looked firmly at Cao Liang, just as he asked to land on the moon last time.

    For long-distance space flights to Mars, technology simulators can collect more information to predict disasters.

    The unknown enemy is the most terrible. The disaster that doesn''t know when will come makes Du Xingyu unable to relax. Therefore, he must go to Mars and get the information of the disaster earlier in order to prepare earlier.

    The atmosphere in the office solidified for a whole minute, and they didn''t say anything. Seeing that Du Xingyu''s attitude had not changed at all, Cao Liang sighed slightly and said, "academician Liu told me that the more excellent people are, the more paranoid they are, and they often have some unusual hobbies."

    "Other people''s hobbies are good, but you like exploring space... Just, maybe this is the source of interest that stimulates your inspiration!"

    He said: "you go to the Mars surface simulation experiment base for training."

    "Thank you for your leadership!" Du Xingyu knew that it was done.

    In the Gobi Region, NASA has built a simulated Martian surface ecological area. The astronauts on this mission to Mars are trained here so that they can better perform their missions after landing on Mars.

    In addition, NASA is also cooperating with the alien ecological laboratory and mechanical Intelligence Laboratory of several universities. They will develop modular automatic robots, which will go to Mars with the Mars spacecraft to help astronauts build a Mars base.

    ……

    "Xu Lianqiu, are you sure you want to apply to join the Mars scientific research group?" Xia Tong, leader of the research group, told Xu Lianqiu in the Mars scientific research task force.

    "I want to emphasize that it''s not where the little girl goes. It''s dangerous and hard!" Xia Tong looked at the female researcher in front of him seriously.

    Xu Lianqiu entered the space agency as an excellent graduate of Aeronautics and Astronautics University. He is also a classmate of Du Xingyu and a graduate student of Liu yuandai.

    She is also very excellent among interns. She became a regular in advance in only two months.

    Xu Lianqiu took a deep breath. Bei Chi bit her lower lip. She said, "I know. I am still willing to apply for going to Mars. This Mars landing mission needs to survive on the surface of Mars for several months and complete the scientific research mission."

    "I''m certainly not as good as those astronauts in the task of building the base, but I''m more proficient in scientific research than them. Many researchers in our group are old comrades. It''s impossible to go to Mars for field investigation. I can receive training!"

    Her idea is very clear. The Mars landing mission must carry scientific researchers. She is familiar with all aspects of the situation and is more suitable for Mars scientific research.

    "I will report it, but I can''t confirm whether it can pass or not." Xia Tong said.

    ……

    The shortest window period from earth to Mars is getting closer and closer. The Mars spacecraft Yinghuo has been completed ahead of schedule and is undergoing various commissioning and performance tests.

    Du Xingyu has also been training in simulating the surface ecological area of Mars for two months. It is worth mentioning that Xu Lianqiu also passed the training.

    At this time, not only China, but also countries began to prepare for a new round of Mars launch missions.

    In view of the previous grand occasion of "beach landing" on the moon, this time as long as countries with the ability to carry out Mars missions have announced that they will launch Mars probes.

    The Russian space agency, the European Space Agency, the island state institute of space and aeronautics, the Indian Space Agency and so on have all prepared new rockets and Mars exploration satellites.

    As a space power, the United States directly announced that it would launch a manned spacecraft to Mars.

    At the Houston Convention Center, NASA is holding a press conference to announce the US plan to land on Mars to the world media.

    Spokesman Anderson proudly announced: "with the efforts of American researchers and cooperative companies, we will land on Mars ten years in advance! We have spent 40 billion US dollars for this plan!"

    "In the short-range window period of the Earth Mars orbit in 50 days, we will launch four ares V heavy launch vehicles to send the 400 ton Mars ship to the earth''s low earth orbit and then assemble it."

    "Mars wear will carry four men, four women and eight astronauts. They will take a Mars ship to Mars after seven months of space voyage. There, they will investigate for about 550 days and then return to earth."

    "This will be a feat never seen in human history. Stay on a strange planet for more than a year and go back and forth for 30 months!"

    "Let''s sincerely congratulate us on the successful completion of our mission to Mars. The United States will open the prelude to human exploration of outer planets! Maybe Mars will become our second home in the near future!"
