Chapter 211 "Manned Spaceflight" "Sun"

More than ten hours later.

The Atlas fleet, which had fully entered the stealth mode, had completed the deceleration of the antimatter engine, entered the gravitational range of Mars using conventional navigation, and gradually approached the near-Earth orbit of Mars.

During the forward movement, it also "brushed past" Deimos, the second natural satellite of Mars.

When the fleet was far away from Deimos, because the surface was rich in iron oxides, especially hematite, the atmosphere emitted a pale orange Mars under the direct sunlight, which appeared in the fleet's visual field.

At this time, in the Future hangar.

"Hunter members of the rapid response force, please rush to the third and fourth areas to board the vehicle, repeat."

"Group six, retreat quickly! Quick! The pressure here will be reduced soon!"

"Check whether your protective clothing is complete. I don't want to hear that someone has an accident later."

The reminders of the broadcast and the shouts of ground staff and logistics personnel, and other noises were intertwined and spread throughout the hangar.

Soon, the personnel who were not wearing airtight protective clothing evacuated here.

More than a hundred hunters dressed in black and fully armed appeared here, and headed towards the "3" and "4" areas marked on the helmet screens, and entered the Seagull assault boats that had completed routine maintenance and preparation.

Not long after, all the hunters and seagulls were completely ready.

At the same time, the hangar was completely depressurized and in a vacuum state.

When the gates were opened one by one, the hangar was directly connected to the deep space of the universe, but the magnetic field of the Fides class protected the ground crew from the harm of high-energy radiation.

Then, the ground crew manually controlled the mechanical arm to clamp the first Seagull assault boat in stealth mode, and then transferred it to the channel to connect the landing gear with the electromagnetic catapult slot.

Wait a moment, the green light came on.

Swish——!

The first Seagull with its wings folded quickly rushed out of the channel until it entered the deep space of the universe.

Then four more Seagulls were ejected from the Fides class one after another, forming a triangle formation with the first one, and approaching the Olympus Mountains on the surface of Mars together.

When they entered the atmosphere unimpeded, their folded wings were also unfolded.

Whoosh!

Although the atmosphere of Mars is extremely thin, there is still a strong air flow in the atmosphere, and on the east side of the flight formation, a sandstorm has been rolled up.

Ding-Dang-!

This made the flight process slightly bumpy, and small particles hit the cabin wall, wings and protective windows.

However, after the flight formation successfully passed through the storm, the surface of Mars returned to calm, showing a clear sky for all pilots.

Looking at the sky from the perspective of the pilot, it can be found that it is not as dead as it is outside the atmosphere.

Next, the flight formation maintained its formation across the vast plains and came to the edge of the almost vertical mountain range, and

even at the edge, its vertical height is a shocking 8,000 meters.

The fleet continued to maintain the speed and reached the top of the mountain.

After nearly fifteen minutes, they arrived at the canyon pointed out by Hera and drove straight into it.

——

In the cockpit of the leading Auk assault boat;

Aya Brea stood behind the two pilots and observed the two sides of the canyon through the protective window.

"."

Her face was solemn under the helmet.

Although Brea was a veteran who had fought with the company for many years, and her grandfather had built the original Atlas with the boss, it was Brea's first time to come to Mars.

No, it should be said that they, the hunters and pilots, were the first humans in the main universe to come to the atmosphere of Mars.

I never thought that the first "manned spaceflight" mission of the main universe for Mars would be carried out by this group of combatants.

"Lieutenant Colonel Brea, we found the breakthrough that the abnormal creature mentioned."

Hearing this, Brea moved her eyes to the left side of the helmet screen and saw that there was a natural platform protruding hundreds of meters from the cliff at the yellow point marked by the pilot, as well as a crack leading to the depths of the mountain.

"Take us there."

"Yes."

After Brea finished speaking, he turned back to the cabin and temporarily separated the cockpit where the pilot was and the cabin that was about to be decompressed to avoid accidents caused by pressure difference.

When the cabin was decompressed, the Seagull assault boat also completed landing.

Huh————! ! !

The moment the doors on both sides opened, the air flow surged, and the harsh whistling sound spread around everyone.

However, Brea and a group of hunters were not affected by these factors. They rushed out of the cabin quickly and built a simple defense line.

At this time, the remaining four Seagulls landed on this platform one after another, releasing all the hunters.

Looking around to ensure that there was no threat nearby, Brea gave an order on the internal communication:

"The fourth platoon stays in the landing area to guard the rear for us, protect the Seagulls and the pilots, and the other combat platoons follow me into the rift."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel."

The hunters who received the order turned on the optical camouflage of their individual equipment and prepared for action.

The four rows of hunters stayed where they were, while the first, second, and third rows of combat platoons, led by Brea, went deep into the rift and soon disappeared.

Inside the rift.

Brea and several hunters, who were at the front, continued to run while reaching out from the storage bag at the back of their waists, taking out several metal ball-like detectors, and then throwing them upwards.

Buzz~!

Accompanied by the slight sound of magnetic levitation, the detector quickly moved forward on their behalf and outlined a detailed thumbnail map in the upper left corner of the helmet.

With the help of the detector, the hunters avoided many dead ends and bends.

Finally, after six hours, they arrived at an open cave.

Beep

And in the pitch-black space, there were some drops of water dripping on the stone wall.

With the help of the auxiliary vision provided by the helmet screen and the dynamic capture function, Brea actually found that there were a large number of structures similar to stalactites here.

It was the liquid water that reacted with the carbon dioxide in the air and the rock wall to form a weak acid solution, which then corroded the strange landscape.

In addition, the real-time data on the left side of the helmet showed that the temperature here reached "14℃", and even the humidity was "63%, and the most important data was "methane content: about 2%".

Half squatting on the ground.

Brea freed his left hand and pinched the soft soil that felt sticky.

It seems that they are very close to the target location.

After all, in order to maintain the strange landscape here, it is necessary to keep the heat and humidity, and methane shows that those fallen gods still cannot escape the physiological phenomena of living things.

Brea stood up and waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue to go deeper.

When they passed through the last narrow tunnel, they felt that the eyes were "suddenly open", because a very large underground space was in front of them.

And a miniature "sun" emitting red and purple light provided light and energy here, and directly below the "sun" was a jade-like and equally large ancient Greek palace complex.
