Chapter 1382: Chapter 658: Arriving at Mars!_3

"So, we can’t possibly feel like it’s been several months, at most just a few minutes."

"The only thing is, when the time comes, it will definitely be pitch dark, so none of you should be afraid!" Lin Sheng said with a bit of mischief, casting a glance specifically at Zhang Liping. freёwebnovel.com

He did it on purpose to lighten the mood.

Zhang Liping glared at him and said, "I’m not afraid of the dark at all, no matter how dark it gets! Besides, we’ve trained to stay inside the space cover."

"Yeah, it’s nothing!"

"The same!"

"It’s just a few minutes, we’ll be there in no time! Lin Sheng, you aren’t getting scared, are you?"

"Ha ha——"

Lin Sheng pursed his lips after hearing this. In truth, he was somewhat worried. He wasn’t a professional astronaut and had joined the team midway. He hadn’t participated in all the training projects and had not experienced the training in the space cover.

However, the thought of traveling through space in complete darkness seemed like it might be an exciting experience.

Once the anti-gravity thruster stabilized and reached the set orbit, it released the Mars-1 spacecraft, and the astronauts inside the control cabin sat up.

Now they didn’t have to do anything but maintain communication with the ground and continually monitor and check the data to prevent errors in the spacecraft’s orbit or speed.

An hour later, a voice came through the communication, "Prepare to open the space channel!"

"Mars-1 is ready to enter the warp track!"

"Received!"

"Report, everything is normal!"

"Ready!"

"Countdown——!" ƒrēewebnovel.com

Following a series of commands, the Mars-1 spacecraft activated its space cover and at the precise time entered the space warp track, rapidly vanishing from sight.

At this moment, a scream came from within the control cabin of the spacecraft, "Ahh——"

Several astronauts all looked towards the source of the sound.

It was Lin Sheng.

This was Lin Sheng’s first experience with the space cover. Previously, he thought it was no big deal, but being in total darkness, his heart was instantly filled with fear.

The darkness inside the space cover was not even in the same category as the darkness of night.

The former had no light at all. Even a speck of light would be absorbed. Coupled with the effect of the warp track, it was far beyond not seeing one’s own hand in front of them — it was a sense of true visual disappearance.

By comparison, the night seemed much more comfortable, as there was at least a little light.

Lin Sheng, an engineer who had only received brief training, had a relatively weaker mental fortitude. Suddenly finding himself in a completely enclosed, dark environment, he almost collapsed.

Fortunately, it was a brief moment.

Seven seconds later, the spacecraft completed the space warp and appeared on the outskirts of Mars.

Twenty seconds later, the space cover closed, and everything returned to normal.

The lights in the control room came back on. The lighting, not very bright, even seemed blinding to the astronauts.

Lin Sheng finally shook off his fear, looked around blankly with tears still at the corners of his eyes, and then realized everyone was looking at him.

In that awkward moment, Zou Yongcheng spoke up, "Thank goodness!"

"For what?" Lu Xiaowei asked.

"Thank goodness we’re all wearing our spacesuits, otherwise, this place would be unbearable by now!" Zou Yongcheng said, taking a deep breath through his nose as he spoke.

This gesture made everyone understand his meaning, and a burst of laughter echoed through the cabin.

Lin Sheng’s face turned beet red. The most embarrassing part was that he couldn’t help laughing along for a moment while also attending to the sensation below.

Nothing!

All right!

"Look!" Zhang Liping suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the glass partition.

Everyone looked in that direction.

A gigantic celestial body appeared outside the glass partition with a pale brown overall hue and seemingly white cloud-like adornments, showcasing a unique beauty up close.

"That must be Mars!"

"Yes, that’s Mars, no mistake! We’ve reached Mars!"

"We’ve arrived! That was fast!"

"Just a matter of seconds!"

Meanwhile, the live TV broadcast, through Spatial Information Transmission technology, showed a close-up view of Mars, sparking waves of discussion.
