Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 689 - 688 Landing
The landing module is an extremely delicate thing, unable to withstand any minor unexpected event.
Although the entire landing plan has been simulated, there should not be any unexpected situation.
However, simulation is just simulation after all; as long as it's not used in practice, everything remains uncertain.
Jiang Cheng is relieved that so far there have been no unexpected events, which means his design of the landing module is perfect and satisfies him just like in the simulation.
Jiang Cheng picked up the microphone and gave orders to all the technical personnel in the hall.
Continue to check all the data of the landing module, do not overlook any unusual situation, and report to me immediately if there is any.
Although the landing module hasn't shown any problem, they still can't afford to drop their guard; it's far from the time for success and the tasks at hand need to be worked on meticulously.
At this moment, people all over the world are glued to their TVs, watching the live broadcast of this Mars landing operation.
The images Jiang Cheng is seeing now are also visible to the audience and accompanied by a commentary explaining the current situation of the landing module.
Even though the audience can't understand the data on the screen, they can still keep track of all the conditions of the landing module through the commentator's voice.
Upon hearing that all is normal with the landing module, the audience can finally put their anxious minds at ease.
Many are very invested in this action, fearing that it might end in failure.
Now it seems the plan has a high probability of success, so everyone feels a lot more reassured.
Everyone's hearts have flown to Mars, closely linked with the landing module.
It's fair to say that this Mars landing operation has captured the hearts of all humanity.
After all, the success or failure of this operation is directly related to the future of each person.
Whether humanity can successfully step into outer space depends on whether this Mars landing is successful.
Landing on Mars can be said to be humanity's first step into space and holds tremendous significance.
Many people on Earth, like Jiang Cheng, are attentively watching the condition of the landing module, waiting for the final result to emerge.
The landing is about to approach the surface of Mars; the success or failure of the entire operation hinges on this!
The landing module is falling at a very fast speed, and soon most of the journey has been completed.
The landing module is now very close to the Martian surface, and even from the camera outside the landing module, you can see the Mars surface image.
The surface of Mars still looks barren as ever, the pale red land appears so desolate.
The scattered rocks and dust stirred on the surface seem to be silently welcoming humanity's arrival, sending a soundless greeting.
Jiang Cheng is standing in front of the display screen, watching the increasingly closer Martian surface in the images, his nerves tightening with the decreasing distance.
According to the current speed of the landing module, it will land on the Martian surface in a maximum of two minutes.
The nearer to success, the more nervous Jiang Cheng becomes.
Jiang Cheng is concerned with the landing module's current state while loudly praying in his heart. The plan has consumed so much of his effort, failure now is unacceptable to him. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Jiang Cheng's hands unconsciously clenched tightly, with nails buried deep in his flesh.
If not for the high resilience of Jiang Cheng's skin, his nails might pierce through his palm.
From Jiang Cheng's tightly clenching hands, one can see how nervous he really is.
Similarly standing in front of the display screen, Xiao Peng sees his boss's nervous appearance and doesn't know how to comfort him.
Because he himself is equally nervous now, having no mood to comfort his boss.
For this plan, Xiao Peng has also dedicated a lot, spending countless days and nights in the lab, all for today's operation.
If Jiang Cheng is the one most concerned about this operation, Xiao Peng is possibly the second most worried.
If these efforts end up in vain, he isn't sure how well he could cope with such a blow.
His lifelong pursuit is to send humans to Mars, with the result about to be seen soon, being not nervous is simply impossible.
As the landing module is about to reach the Martian surface, the bottom of the landing module starts to emit a jet of flame.
The speed of the falling landing module slows down immediately with the flame emission.
This is now decelerating the landing module, with the flames using the counterforce to reduce the module's speed.
The current speed of the landing module is so fast, it nearly burns flames on the outer shell.
If the landing module is not decelerated, just crashing directly into Mars, the astronauts inside are likely to all perish.
Landing at the current speed is certainly impossible, thus deceleration before approaching the surface is a necessary task.
Starting to slowly reduce speed now, when the landing module formally lands, the speed can be lowered to an acceptable level.
This is now the crucial moment before success, as the landing module is about to touch the Martian surface.
If the landing module can land smoothly, then this operation will be considered a success.
The moment the landing module touches the Martian surface is also a very likely point for problems to occur.
Even though the speed has greatly reduced by then, it still is comparatively high.
With this speed hitting the Martian surface, the impact force is considerable.
Of course, the landing module has relevant anti-collision treatments, with an excellent shock-absorbing system to lessen a significant portion of the impact force.
If everything goes smoothly, the astronauts inside won't be very affected.
But anything can happen; the greatest fear now is the impact exceeding the buffer system's limit, which could seriously harm the astronauts inside.
Distance has reached the limit; landing will commence in fifty seconds, everyone prepares for impact, ready for possible tremors. Forty seconds to landing, prepare for shock absorption!
Within the landing module, the astronauts started taking some actions, Wang Li, a female astronaut, issued orders to the other two.
Although theoretically the vibrations shouldn't be too severe, they still need to be fully prepared.
People on Earth heard Wang Li's voice and knew the critical moment was about to arrive.
The final outcome of this operation will be revealed in the next tens of seconds.
Thirty seconds to landing, final confirmation of landing module status!
All conditions normal, ready for landing!
