Chapter 1251 - Seeking for Death (1/2)
Everyone cheered in excitement when they finally felt gravity.
“We have succeeded!”
“Successful landing! NICE!”
“…!”
Ten minutes ago, they were staring at the radar in fear, afraid that Celestial Trade may accidentally launch a missile toward them. But unexpectedly, Celestial Trade did not interfere with them. They did not even communicate with them and just watched them land in silence…
It was too strange.
Did they not detect us? But how is that possible!
In the midst of joy, Bris also grew uneasy.
For some reason, he felt that the people from Celestrial Trade were watching them. They silently watched with neither surprise or astonishment, but mockery and sly, as if they were watching a drama…
I hope it’s just my illusion.
Bris shook his head and forced a smile. He celebrated with his teammates and blended into the jubilant atmosphere.
The radio transceiver extended on top of Ares and aimed at the satellite on the orbit. The signal would be relayed to mission control back on Earth via the satellite .
Because of the few minutes of communication delay, everyone only could say one sentence.
Bris grabbed the radio and exchanged a look of excitement with his teammates, he took a deep breath and changed into a serious expression, then he pressed the button and looked at the lens.
“Calling Mission Control, this is Ares. We have landed successfully!”
While Bris still had a lot to say, when he saw the exhilarated state from his teammates, he ended the communication and handed the radio to the nearest teammate.
“We have succeeded! We have succeeded!” The beautiful astronaut with blonde hair got in front of the camera and shouted with enthusiasm. “We are on Mars now! The desert looks like it’s on fire, this is probably the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life.”
“The weather here is very sunny, and we are fortunate that we have not encountered a sandstorm,” said the Jewish astronaut, “This is a good start. God will bless us and the UA.”
“I feel like I’m back in my hometown. It’s like the desert there! But it’s cold here. The temperature outside is only minus 50 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, there is heat in Ares, hahaha…”
“…”
Communication resources were quite valuable, leaving everyone with only a short half minute. In less than five minutes, eight astronauts all extended their wishes to their hometown far away.
The video would be broadcasted by major TV stations across the country so that everyone in UA would share this exciting moment.
In the end, Bris turned off the camera, compressed the video, and clicked send.
Then, several energetic people in the team immediately became rowdy.
“Kane, take out the champagne from the fridge! We have to celebrate this great moment! Hahaha!”
“Let’s hold off the celebration. Let’s decide who will be the first one to set foot on Mars?”
“Same rule, we’re drawing straws!”
“Drawing straws? Wait for me to wash my hands first…”
Bris smiled at the scene with how thrilled his teammates were,
Though for some odd reason, the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Before he came, he did a lot of homework.
The mainstream view of the UA biology community believed Devil Worms’ threat was only poorly-constructed propaganda made by Celestial Trade to monopolize Mars colonization. Devil Worms would not attack unless they were attacked.
Otherwise, why did Celestial Trade only attack this year when they already landed a long time ago? If it was not for the fact that they drilled down and poked a hole in the Devil Worms’ nest, why would the bugs living in the mantle attack the surface?
As long as you don’t ask to be attacked, you won’t be attacked.
It was NASA’s advice to these pioneers.
However, these were only speculations in UA’s biological community.
