Chapter 6 Blind Date Is Not Necessary
The bookcase also fell to the ground due to the strong vibration, and the bundled books were scattered on the ground. Just when Weber was about to rush over to pick up the book, Bacon pulled Weber with his right hand: "It's not too late to pick it up after we land. Now we put safety first, understand?" After hearing what Bacon said, Weber gave up on the bumps. With the thought of going down to pick up the book, I continued to hold the railing tightly with both hands.
There is no one in the corridor opposite the rooms of the five companions. The corridor that used to be frequented by people is now really empty. It is even more silent than last night when Xiaobert and the others were on their way to the captain's room. No interest. Of course, this is not absolutely silent, there is also the sound of jet engines, and the employees in the room are constantly talking.
After the lieutenant colonel left, the five partners followed the lieutenant colonel's instructions just now, holding on to the railing with one hand and fastening their seat belts with their right hands. Everything is safe, now we are waiting for the bumpy landing.
As mentioned earlier, the five partners did not know where the Century spacecraft would be next after leaving the lunar colony, and why the spacecraft had not made preparations to collect five ores. So they went to the captain's room to ask Lieutenant Colonel Norman what was going on, and learned that they were going to the Mars colony to replenish armaments, so they would come to the second human colony in the solar system.
The earthquake inside the spacecraft became more and more intense, and the books on the bookcase collided with each other as they swayed from side to side, making a banging sound. The good thing is that the books on the bookcase have been tied together by the five friends, so the possibility of falling off the bookcase is very small.
Each partner had a nervous expression on his face, his muscles were tense, and soon his face turned red. Looking around, everyone was watching for something that might fall due to the bumps. They had been observing for more than ten minutes. After finally confirming that everything was safe, they put down the heavy boulder in their hearts. Now they could feel more relieved.

Weber, who was the largest, put his whole body in front of the bookcase and said: "This can prevent the bookcase from falling due to vibration, and it can also keep yourself balanced. It really kills two birds with one stone." Then he took out a safety helmet worn by construction workers from the tool box. The hat is supposed to prevent being hit on the head by the books on the bookcase.
The five companions could see through the window that the spacecraft's power barrier had been put in to block the gravel and sand contained in the sandstorm. Xiaobert was right. This turbulence was like a magnitude 9 earthquake. The spacecraft was shaking back and forth, and it was shaking very fast. Although his hands were already firmly grasped on the railings and his body was fastened with a seat belt, But you have to stand still.
The spacecraft has left the lunar colony for two days. According to the predicted flight time, the spacecraft will almost arrive at the colony next to Mariner Canyon on Mars. The five friends are still relaxing in their dormitory as if they were on vacation. Anyway, there is no shortage of TVs and game consoles in the room. There are also many games to play on their handheld computers. Anyway, they are enjoying their time in the spaceship during this voyage. Very fulfilling.
"Okay, I want to tell you. First of all, I want to thank you for finding this practical thing for us. Second, can you leave now and stop staying in our room? We still have some things to discuss. ." Xiao Bot spoke with a somewhat mocking tone, staring at the lieutenant colonel.
Through the window in the room, John could see that Mars had appeared bustling in front of him, like a ruby, eye-catching in the dark universe. Looking in the direction of the Earth, we can no longer see the blue dot in the darkness, which means that the spacecraft has moved away from the Earth and is flying towards Mars.
If a person is not supported by anything at this time, he will not be able to bear the strong shock and fall to the ground within three seconds, and will not be able to stand up. The five partners gritted their teeth. On the one hand, they had to maintain their balance, and on the other hand, they had to overcome the gravity when landing.
"Yes, then everyone, please quickly find a place where you can hold on. I'll hold on to the desk!" A smile appeared on Xiao Bot's face. It seemed that he had nothing to worry about the bumps before landing. The important thing now is to relax your mind,
Always ready for new challenges and new adventures.
The second colony in the solar system has arrived, and the five partners have also started a new journey, visiting new places and facing new tasks.
"Beep, beep, we have entered the atmosphere of Mars. It is expected that there will be strong turbulence in three minutes. Please pay attention to safety and do not be hit or crushed by falling objects."
"Ah, no, we need to tie something to the bookcase first to prevent the books from falling off the cabinet. And these lamps and cups must be placed in the drawers, and don't put water in the cups." The bumps continued every time. Come on, Shawbert is already preparing for this.
"Very good, Lieutenant Colonel Norman. What did you come to our room to ask? Didn't we chat enough yesterday?" As the head of the five partners, Xiaobot must speak on behalf of the five partners.
As soon as Weber finished speaking, all five partners heard Lieutenant Colonel Norman's voice. He kept asking the employees in each spacecraft if they had anything to support them. It was obvious that Lieutenant Colonel Norman was a person who cared about him very much. employee people. Of course, he asked about the room where his five companions lived.
"Beep beep, all crew members are ready for landing, because there is still a sandstorm hanging outside the colony, the wind speed has reached the level of a typhoon, and there will be strong turbulence during landing, but we will land safely. Please put 10,000 Heart." Listening to what the artificial intelligence said, it seemed that the spacecraft would land on the parking lot of the Mars colony within an hour, and there would be strong turbulence within an hour.
"Hmm..." Xiao Bot thought for a long time, because he had never encountered this situation before, and now he could only guess based on luck. "I guess the intensity is similar to the Los Angeles earthquake (Los Angeles had a magnitude 9.4 earthquake in 2176, with the epicenter in the city center, causing 80% of the city's houses to collapse and 290,000 people to die)."
"Listen to what you said, when we are bumpy, we must hold on to something to prevent us from losing our balance?" Webb is now trying on the newly distributed spacesuit and emergency oxygen mask.
"Since you all said you want me to leave, I don't want to stay too long. I have to go to other rooms to remind you. There is one more thing I want to tell you. After landing on the Mars colony, gather in the open space opposite the hatch. , don't run around." Then Lieutenant Colonel Norman left the rooms of the five partners and continued to other employees' rooms to give reminders and notifications.
The spacecraft is getting closer to Mars, as if you can reach out the window and touch it. Through the glass, the five partners can see the very famous and obvious Mariner Canyon on Mars, like a scar, branded on the On the surface of Mars, it will never disappear except for human factors.
"I'm not here to chat with you. I'm also very busy with my work right now." Lieutenant Colonel Norman pointed to a special handrail for landing on the left wall of the room with a safety belt on it. "I miss you." I forgot, I still didn’t see this thing. This thing will be stronger than the tables and cabinets you are holding on to."
Suddenly, it became much quieter outside the spacecraft, the sandstorm stopped in an instant, and cheers came from other rooms. It turned out that the spacecraft had entered the protective circle of the Mars colony and was preparing to land on the parking lot in the colony. Now the five partners can finally relax their hands, unbuckle their seat belts, and move around freely.
"Hey, kids, good morning. Did you sleep well yesterday? The sound of the jet engine shouldn't be too loud." Lieutenant Colonel Norman still had a bright smile on his face, holding something in his hand as usual. This time it was cigars.
At first glance, the Mars colony looks like a city in the western United States. The city is dominated by yellow, with the yellow mixed with the green of plants.
"Hey, brother, I want to ask you a question." Jack was still reading the book and scratched his head from time to time. He remembered that Jack didn't wash his hair when he took a shower last night, so that's probably it. "Guess what the intensity of the strong turbulence that the artificial intelligence said would be?"
