Three months passed in a flash, and the code-named "Firefly" spacecraft project was successfully completed. After a simple functional test by technicians, it was delivered to the laboratory for use.

The spacecraft is two hundred meters long, and the thickness of the two wings is similar to the hull, but the length is very short, only less than fifty meters. Therefore, when you look down from above, you will find that the spacecraft shape does not conform to the aerodynamics at all, and it looks a bit huge and bloated.

The two wings are equipped with a super electric thrust engine, which can rotate 180 degrees to change the direction of the jet and provide very powerful thrust. In addition to an anti-gravity engine installed at the rear of the spacecraft, there is also a cold nuclear fusion reactor, which will emit a golden light at the tail when it enters normal power operation.

When I saw this spaceship in the dark, the golden light was like a firefly in the starry sky, so the spaceship was named "Firefly".

The people in the laboratory were surprised when they changed the name. When they were discussing privately, someone said in surprise: "It's not a firefly cat?"

The person beside him immediately covered the man's mouth, "Don't say that loudly, be careful that the boss heard the name change!"

"What can this spacecraft be used for?" Zhao Baibing was puzzled. He knew that there was already a larger spacecraft in the laboratory, and it was a spacecraft that could do scientific research and experiments. There was indeed no need to get another one out.

Old employees such as Qin Hua couldn't understand the function of the Firefly spacecraft. In terms of purpose, it was more like a space travel spacecraft, but they had never heard of any travel plans in the laboratory. Cat God Li is also a world-famous otaku scientist. He is simply a top-notch homeless person who never goes out of the door.

However, this time they did think it was a mess!

Li Maoye brought Emily over and asked her to find the first seven Calabash researchers in the laboratory, and then announced a benefit to them: "Travel in Mars!"

Zhao Baibing, Qin Hua and others were almost glaring at the sight of the monkey tanks, even the monkey tanks that came from the wind showed an incredible expression. They didn't react for a while.

"What? Boss, are you talking about going to Mars?" Tank asked first.

Li Maoye noticed these two people at this time, so he nodded and said, "Oh, tank, are you here too? That's right, we're going to fly this spaceship to Mars!"

When everyone listened to his relaxed tone, it was as simple as going out for a picnic together. They really didn't want to believe what they meant, but when they thought of the boss who had repeatedly created miracles, they had to believe it again.

The tank did not have so much complex mentality. He strongly asked the boss to take him and the monkey to travel to space. Although they had been to Musk's space hotel and to the base of Guanghan Palace on the Moon, the farthest distance did not exceed the range of the earth and the moon.

Mars has been a hot word on the Internet in recent years. Everyone knows that if you want to immigrate to alien planets, Mars is the most suitable target. Especially under the strong publicity of NASA and Musk, Mars will almost become synonymous with the future alien colonies of mankind.

Li Maoye didn't mind the number of more people on the spaceship. He had already asked Emily to prepare enough supplies, even if they had more than a dozen people traveling to space for a year, they would not have to resupply.

After hearing the itinerary of the entire Mars journey, Qin Hua and others couldn't help but become more active and enthusiastic. According to the boss, they were even able to arrive at Mars before SpaceX's starship!

"Well, according to my calculations, there should be an 80% chance to land on Mars first, and the remaining 20% ​​chance may be a little behind, but what does that matter? Anyway, we are just traveling to space and test the performance of the spacecraft by the way!"

Li Maoye's remarks were very convincing, which made the people present unable to hold on anymore. Zhao Baibing even rushed to board the ship to chase the starship.

Others also think that they can spend a month or two to travel to relax in space while they are free from work, which seems to sound good.

As for whether this trip will cause other problems, such as exposing anti-gravity engine technology, it is not something they need to consider. Anyway, there are tall men who hold it back when the sky falls, and it is not their turn to be responsible for it.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Maoye ordered Emily: "Okay, let's get on the spaceship first!"

He arranged for Emily to come with him. Anyway, the bionics don't need to consume daily necessities, and they don't even need oxygen. Even if they add a few more intelligent robots to board the ship, it's no problem. Moreover, there are many computer angels and smart assistants on the spaceship. Without them, they will probably be busy for the normal work of the spaceship.

Before leaving, he sent an message to Assistant Xie and briefly told the matter so as not to mistakenly think that the core backbone of the Meow Star Laboratory has disappeared or even been kidnapped and kidnapped.

As the anti-gravity engine works, the spacecraft's reactor quickly enters full power state. Even if the super electric thrust engine is not turned on, it can float on its own like a UFO, and it is flying out of the atmosphere faster and faster.

The "Firefly" spacecraft itself has automatic driving functions, and its intelligent system is no worse than the drone Cat Fort, so the entire takeoff acceleration is automatic.

Because of its huge size and very eye-catching, it alarmed the entire Cat Star Laboratory as soon as it flew up. At this time, Xie Ling'er just finished reading the message sent by Li Maoye, and didn't know what to react for a moment.

When she woke up, she immediately notified the relevant departments and asked others in the laboratory to return to work, blocking out the spread of relevant news related to the spacecraft.

"What is Academician Li trying to do?" The people from the relevant departments were puzzled.

Judging from the news they obtained from Xie Ling'er, Li Maoye suddenly went out for a trip on a whim. Even though the place where he went out this time was a bit far away and it was still space that ordinary people could not reach, from the perspective of the entire operation, there was no purpose at all.

Although the spacecraft started construction a few months ago and perhaps it was already planning to land on Mars at that time, compared with other space programs, this time is not enough to be used for design, let alone the spacecraft's purpose is Mars.

"It's indeed very sudden, but why?" said the relevant psychological expert.

After thinking about it, experts from relevant departments could only think that Academician Li had been staying for too long, so he wanted to relieve boredom through a space trip. From all aspects of laws and regulations, they had no reason to restrict the personal freedom of the bald boss. After all, there was no public office related to the government except for the National People's Congress representative.

Faced with guys who are neither party members nor civil servants, they really cannot restrict others from traveling to outer space. If they were to travel abroad, they might also need to have permission from relevant departments and other passes. However, going to the moon and Mars is not abroad, so they cannot use laws and regulations to restrict them.

Even though the relevant departments wanted to contact the spacecraft and asked Li Maoye to drive the fireflies back, they had already flew out of the atmosphere at this time, and had cut off the relevant communication contacts and entered a silent state of communication signals. No one on the Blue Star could contact the spacecraft.

Finally, the relevant departments decided to take care of the matter first and then talk. The person in charge said to others: "Keep paying attention to relevant information on the Internet, and let all witnesses sign a confidentiality agreement, so as not to let any information spread!"

When they turned their eyes to information control, they suddenly found that except for someone who saw the spacecraft take off, they did not leave any video content, and even the surveillance equipment in the laboratory did not take a picture of the spacecraft.

"Is this electronic information invisible technology?" someone analyzed.

In fact, it is not an electronic information invisibility technology, but Li Maoye instructed the queen to remember to erase the spaceship video records and not leave any traces of evidence. However, they did it too thoroughly, so that all surveillance equipment could not capture the spaceship, thus achieving the so-called invisibility effect of electronic information equipment.

In short, although people saw the process of fireflies taking off, there was no graphic audio and video record left behind. Even if someone used a digital camera to shoot at that time, they could not take photos of the spacecraft in the end.

In this way, Blue Star's most powerful black technology tycoon took a group of younger brothers to space, and their destination was Mars, which humans had never landed on.

For nearly a month after that, other countries on Blue Star had no idea about this. Until SpaceX's starship was about to arrive on Mars, humans still did not find any trace of the anti-gravity engine spacecraft, including the rabbit who knew everything about it.

People all over the world focus their attention on starship spacecraft, because according to calculations, they will reach the Martian gravitational circle in a few days, and then launch reconnaissance satellites in the best observation orbit to conduct a close investigation of the Martian terrain and landforms, and finally choose a suitable landing location on this red planet.

"We have to find a place where liquid water exists first, and then land near the water source!" The commander on the starship introduced to the people of Blue Star.

As early as more than ten years ago, the Bald Eagle Curiosity rover had discovered that there were lagoons on Mars. However, due to the evolution of the planetary environment for tens of millions of years, these lagoons are likely to be buried deep underground and permanently become underground lakes.

If humans want to successfully immigrate to Mars, water resources are one of the crucial conditions. Therefore, the first batch of Mars immigrants on this starship shoulder the burden of finding water sources. As long as they can have a water source, even if they complete most of the mission this time, the remaining mission is to persevere until the next batch of Mars immigrants arrive.

Because this mission is of great significance, while reconnaissing satellites to find water sources, the Bald Eagle's media also conducted a live broadcast, hoping to show the great achievements of the SpaceX starship to all the people of the Blue Star.
