Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 692 - 691: Desolation

The astronauts inside the lunar module began their tense preparations after receiving Jiang Cheng's instructions.

Leaving the lunar module smoothly isn't a simple task; it requires thorough preparation.

On this unfamiliar land of Mars, the lunar module is like a safe home, protecting the astronauts from harm.

But once the astronauts leave the protection of the lunar module, everything depends on them.

Once they step out of the module, they can only rely on their spacesuits for protection.

However, compared to the sturdy lunar module, the protection of the spacesuits seems so thin. So, stepping out onto the Martian soil isn't an easy task.

Each astronaut needs to fully prepare in advance, capable of dealing with all emergencies before they can officially leave the module.

"We are now ready and can proceed with the EVA at any time. After a busy period, the three astronauts are ready and begin to request the command center to execute the next step.

Request approved; you are allowed to proceed as planned."

After hearing the astronauts' request, Jiang Cheng issued the command to allow their actions on the distant Mars.

Then, Jiang Cheng half-jokingly said, "Be careful, and enjoy your time on Mars. Remember to take lots of photos; opportunities for photography on Mars don't come often, so cherish this rare chance."

Jiang Cheng's command, spanning a vast distance, reached Mars.

The three astronauts smiled knowingly upon hearing Jiang Cheng's voice.

Command received, action commencing immediately!

President Jiang, we'll take the photos. Just wait for our good news on Earth.

With the astronauts' response echoing inside the module, they were finally about to step onto the mysterious land of Mars.

Now, the three astronauts, clad in specially designed spacesuits, stood by the hatch ready to depart.

Wang Li pressed the door control button, and as gas hissed around the hatch, the outer door of the module officially opened.

Outside the door was Mars, and they saw the surface of Mars beyond the hatch.

The Martian surface was strewn with rocks and dust, with a faint red hue covering the entire landscape.

The astronauts gazed at the view outside the hatch, showing expressions of longing and anticipation.

Although they had seen such images in photos before, the current scene still captivated them.

The astronauts were momentarily stunned before continuing their actions. Jie, the bold-looking astronaut, extended his foot out of the hatch, grasped the handrail, and slowly moved his body towards the outside.

The door of the lunar module was designed to be higher than the ground, so he needed to descend a short ladder to reach the Martian surface.

Xiong Jie cautiously climbed down the orange ladder step by step. When he reached the last rung, he paused momentarily, as if wanting to remember the moment.

He then firmly extended his foot towards the ground, landing heavily on Mars' surface.

When Xiong Jie fully stepped onto Mars, it symbolized humanity's arrival on Mars.

From today, humanity officially set foot on Mars, a place never touched before.

Despite its proximity to Earth, Mars, with many similarities, has always led people to believe it harbors life.

Unfortunately, multiple explorations have shown no signs of life on Mars.

Yet, the curiosity about Mars, a planet resembling Earth, remains irresistible, driving people to understand it more.

Landing on Mars has long been a dream pursued by countless people.

But landing on Mars is incredibly difficult, with technical challenges making the dream seem distant.

Finally, Jiang Cheng's efforts turned the impossible dream into reality.

Today, humanity has realized this distant dream, accomplished personally by Jiang Cheng.

The moment the astronauts stepped on Mars was captured by cameras on the lunar module, eternally documenting this monumental moment.

This photo quickly became iconic, symbolizing humanity's first step into space. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Even when humanity explores the universe in the future, this photo will still be fondly remembered.

Perhaps even when humanity conquers the universe, this photo will be preserved.

Because this photo marks the beginning, carrying humanity's dreams of the cosmos.

But all these are events of the future, still too distant now.

After the first astronaut successfully stepped on Mars, the other two astronauts slowly exited the module, arriving on the Martian surface.

Now all three astronauts stood on Martian soil, experiencing views not seen by the ordinary eye.

Although the Martian landscape appeared desolate, it mesmerized these astronauts.

Because seeing such views is incredibly rare, impossible for most people to witness once in a lifetime.

Sending them to Mars cost billions, a chance ordinary people seldom have.

After a while, they remembered Jiang Cheng's special request to take photos on Mars.

Thus, the three astronauts stood on Mars, taking the most unique selfie with a special camera.

The photo's background was simple, just the three astronauts with Mars' distant horizon behind.

The photo was to be brought back to Earth as Jiang Cheng's personal memento.

This unique selfie will be preserved as a treasured piece by Jiang Cheng.

Once all three astronauts stepped on Mars, Jiang Cheng finally felt relieved.

The hardest part of the whole plan was completed, and the remaining tasks were unlikely to have surprises.

Now Jiang Cheng could relax, at least not worry about the astronauts.

In reality, Jiang Cheng's concerns had limited effect, as the astronauts' position on remote Mars meant being anxious wasn't helpful from Earth.

If any emergencies arose, the astronauts could only rely on themselves.

Thus, astronauts must undergo extensive training to handle unexpected situations.

Their working environment is in space, where failing to manage issues could lead to dire outcomes.
