Ten days later, the spacecraft was undergoing final maintenance and supplies.
The Nana Queen, carrying Cao Chuan and 21 idle employees, officially set sail towards the boundless starry sky.
Qiao Yunhe looked at the surrounding universe.
This place was 5 million kilometers away from the earth.
Their home star was no different from ordinary stars in his field of vision.
The surroundings were empty and cold.
The number of atoms in a cubic meter of space could even be counted.
This is the real universe.
The 9999 universe is so empty.
Therefore, it has become so difficult for humans to explore other planets.
Even the moon that is so close at hand took half a century.
"I think Lao Wang must regret it now.
He exchanged for the moon-level spaceship in advance.
If I had to consider a spaceship like Queen Nana, I would have to consider it."
Qiao Yunhe said with deep wisdom, "When the time comes, with it , there is nowhere else in the solar system that we can’t go to.”
Qiao Yunhe also has many other ideas in his mind.
For example, painting the spaceship with the image of his favorite anime girl covered in weapons.
When the rough cannon contrasts with the petite girl, the contrast is simply stunning. .
"By the way, how much is the achievement, so I can be mentally prepared."
Qiao Yunhe asked.
Cao Chuan calculated the price, "Do you really want to know?
The price is about 30 million yuan."
After hearing this number, Qiao Yunhe's mouth opened wide, thinking that he had worked hard for two years to accumulate 600,000.
Doesn't this mean that he has to wait another 50 years?
Of course, there is a workaround that is to borrow merit.
If the employees of the exploration department are pooled together and "shares", it is now barely possible to purchase a Nana Queen.
Another way is through work.
If an enriched mineral cluster on the scale of Bailey Crater is found, each person will receive at least hundreds of thousands of credits.
As for finding a habitable star or the like, it may be even higher.
It's millions, tens of millions, and the exploration department earns its merits in similar ways.
Half a day later, the speed of the spacecraft slowly increased to 400 kilometers per second, a quite astonishing speed, which meant that they could run from the South Pole to the North Pole in just 30 seconds.
In the field of view, Mars becomes larger and larger.
"Master, we are lucky.
The current distance between the Earth and Mars is 85 million kilometers, and we will be close to it in another 14 hours."
But now, because she is too far away from the earth, the communication delay has exceeded 2 minutes.
In order to balance the navigation of the spacecraft with the management of the lunar base and the lunar city, Nana's thinking speed is also affected at this moment, showing signs of slowness.
The only ones not affected are humans. 21 employees are a considerable labor force, allowing them to help with various tasks and easily drive the highly automated spacecraft.
The employees cannot get out anyway, so they can observe the scenery outside through the broadcast.
A few hours passed, and it was dinner time.
While enjoying their dinner, the employees noticed that in the picture transmitted back from the front, Mars was rapidly expanding and became the size of a building.
"Oh, we are almost there so fast."
The employees jumped up.
In the past, it took at least a month to launch a probe to Mars through a rocket, but now it has been shortened to a day and a half, which is really incredible.
They looked at the crimson red planet covered with iron oxide, which can be regarded as the most habitable planet in the inner solar system.
The diameter of Mars is 6,300 kilometers, almost half that of the Earth.

A day lasts 24 hours and a year lasts 687 days.
It has a thin atmosphere and two poles with ice caps.
In terms of development difficulty, Mars is only A little harder than the moon.
Of course, Mars still has shortcomings.
For example, it is too similar to the Earth, so that if you want to build your own home on it, there is no problem.
It is suitable for large-scale immigration.
If you want to trade, you can't even find a decent Martian specialty.
The spacecraft approached Mars very fast, with almost no chance of being affected by its gravity, and almost entered the orbital space of Mars.
Looking down from an orbital space more than 100 kilometers away, the planet under your feet shows a completely different style from the moon.
There are no longer craters.
Mars feels delicate and soft, like a fiery red goose down blanket.
Laying on the earth, only a few places show steep mountains and narrow rift valleys.
"Saw Olympus" "And Luna Plateau."
"Mariner Grand Canyon" While the employees were still shouting, Cao Chuan gave Nana a new order, "Are you ready?"
"No problem Master, there are 18 satellites in total, all are ready."
"Start deployment" As soon as he finished speaking, the hatches on both sides of the spacecraft opened with a bang, and the air in the cabin was released.
Then, driven by the robot, metal polyhedrons the size of small cars were thrown out.
At first, the polyhedron was pulled by gravity and showed a tendency of free fall.
Soon, the nozzle below the polyhedron sprayed out gas, precisely adjusting its position and direction.
Slowly, the polyhedron stabilized.
They orbit Mars, and at the same time, they unfold the solar panels on both sides and connect them to each other, forming a huge planetary network that covers the huge Mars.
"Satellite launch successful" Two hours later, Nana reported the results of the operation.
On the map, data for one area after another began to appear one after another, first the most basic height map, then ice cover distribution data, shallow soil data, etc., slowly, through the 18 satellites orbiting Mars, one by one.
Longitudes and latitudes are broken down into whole parts to form the latest map of Mars.
The fog dissipated, the world became brighter, and they got their wish to see the whole picture of Mars.
This was the first time for everyone to witness the drawing of a map of Mars.
Before, they had seen either photos from astronomical telescopes or from The detection results of the detector are quite rough.
The altitude map data observed by the satellite has an accuracy of about 5 meters; the ice cover distribution and soil quality data have an accuracy of about 10 meters.
After being combined into a map, it is much clearer than what can be seen with the naked eye.
They can even see the distribution on the flat surface.
The desert is full of gravel.
"Mars is indeed so peaceful."
The employees sighed.
"Mr.
Consultant, don't we really go down and take a look?"
another employee suggested.
Cao Chuan shook his head: "There will be many opportunities in the future, we have to leave first."
"I don't know when Mars will be developed."
Some employees muttered, showing reluctance.
The tail of the Nana Queen erupted with endless gas.
They accelerated again and headed farther.
The next stop was the asteroid belt
