Earth and Deep Space Exploration Command Center??.
Numbers were jumping on the huge screen.
"T-00:03:21"
The entire command center was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Engineers keep their eyes on the data streams, their fingers hovering over the keyboards, ready to respond to any unexpected situation at any time.
This is the first manned Mars landing mission in human history, and any slight mistake could lead to catastrophic consequences.
"The lander's attitude is normal."
"Propulsion system stable."
"The parachute has deployed."
Every instruction is like a taut string that will break if you are not careful.
"Landing touchdown confirmed."
The air in the entire command center froze instantly, three hundred display screens froze at the same time, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.
The last piece of data on the main screen is still flashing:
Impact force: 8.2G (safety threshold: 10G)
0.7 seconds later——
"The signal reception is normal!" A broken cry suddenly erupted from the communications seat.
Then the green lights of each system seat lit up one after another:
"The life support system is functioning well!"
"The cabin pressure is stable at 1013hPa!"
"The astronaut's pulse is 82 and his blood pressure is 118/76!"
The big screen switched scenes - in the trembling camera, a hand wearing a white glove was slowly pushing open the cabin door.
Then, orange-red Martian dust danced in the sunlight, and the first footprints of mankind were deeply imprinted in this ancient wasteland.
"This is Dawn..." The astronaut's voice was tinged with electromagnetic noise, but he couldn't hide his sobs: "I, astronaut Yang Jie, have successfully set foot on the land of Mars."
Until this moment, the command center seemed to have pressed the play button - engineers knocked over chairs and hugged each other, white-haired academicians knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and champagne corks hit the ceiling with a "bang".
The value and historical significance of humanity's first trip to an alien planet are worthy of cheers and celebration.
But the cheers only lasted for half a quarter of an hour, and the researchers turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the center of the command platform.
There sat a woman.
Leaf orange.
She was wearing a neatly cut dark blue uniform skirt, her black hair fell softly on her shoulders with natural curls at the ends, her skin was white and almost transparent, her nose was high, her pale pink lips were naturally moist, and her whole body exuded an almost inorganic coldness.
But what caught her most attention were her eyes.
Those were a pair of extremely clear eyes, as if they could directly reflect the essence of things.
When she looked at the screen intently, it seemed as if all the data would automatically be arranged into the most reasonable order in her eyes.
It is very beautiful, not just ordinary beauty, but a kind of almost transparent purity that reminds people of the uncontaminated ice crystals on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
"Commander Ye, we succeeded!" a young researcher said excitedly.
Ye Ju just nodded slightly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised: "Yeah."
It was as if all this had been calculated by her.
"Commander Ye, you are such a genius!" The researchers all exclaimed in admiration.
Why do you say that?
Because the success of this Mars landing was almost entirely dependent on Ye Ju's extraordinary talent.
The average distance between Mars and Earth is 225 million kilometers.
With the current propulsion technology available to humans, even with the most optimistic estimates, a manned landing on Mars will take at least another 50 years.
Until Ye Ju appeared.
While NASA was still worried about the fuel efficiency of heavy-lift rockets, Ye Ju had already redesigned the entire propulsion system. She overturned the limitations of traditional chemical fuels and proposed a new plasma-magnetic fluid composite propulsion technology, which shortened the flight time from 9 months to 4 months.
When the European Space Agency was struggling with the instability of the Martian atmosphere, Ye Ju wrote an adaptive landing algorithm that allowed the lander to adjust its attitude in real time and touch the ground smoothly in strong winds of 80 meters per second.
While experts from various countries were debating the astronauts' life support system, Ye Ju directly developed a closed-loop ecological circulation module, increasing resource utilization to 98%, ensuring that astronauts could survive on the surface of Mars for a long time.
While traditional scientists were still repeatedly verifying in the laboratory, Ye Ju had already used mathematics to prove the feasibility.
While the engineers were still discussing the risks, Ye Ju had already provided a solution.
When everyone said "impossible", Ye Ju just calmly called up the data and said:
"Can."
Thus, humans really stood on Mars——
Humans were able to set foot on Mars not because of technological advancement, but because Ye Ju alone advanced technology by half a century.
On the screen, the astronaut's voice came: "This is Dawn. We have successfully landed. The Martian sky... is indeed orange-red."
Thunderous applause broke out in the command center.
Ye Ju stood up, her black hair swaying slightly with her movements.
She walked to the big screen, staring at the real-time image of the surface of Mars, a faint smile appearing at the corners of her lips.
"Congratulations, everyone." Her voice was calm, yet filled with undeniable strength. "From today on, humanity officially enters the interstellar age."
This is not a prophecy, but a proclamation.
Late at night, the command center gradually became quiet.
Ye Ju sat alone in front of the terminal, his fingertips tapping on the keyboard, and the data stream on the screen scrolled rapidly.
"Commander Ye, aren't you going to rest yet?" the researcher on duty asked cautiously.
Without even looking up, she said, "Calculating Jupiter's orbital window."
