[Mars Mission Arc - #2]
...----------------...
Long story short, when the plane they were riding was out of the earth's atmosphere. There is no force of gravity, so they will hover in the air if they are not wearing seat belts.
The four of them were in the cabin that became the main room. The pilot was Kim Dae-Vin and Zaaryan, while Araya and Hanny served as backup pilots.
"Report, we've arrived in space safely, no obstacle. The report is over" Dae-Vin said, speaking through a communication device attached to his ear.
"Report received, if you are tired, you can rest for five to ten minutes first, and stop your plane there. Don't forget to turn on the silent mode." Captain Akira sounded from across.
"Okay, captain."
When they finished reporting, they did as they were told. Stop the aircraft to rest and cool the engine. While the occupants are still busy observing millions of stars in the sky that look very clear when viewed from space.
"Hey guys, why is there no oxygen in space?" while looking out the window, Araya said a question.
His mind was imagining, what would happen if this space had oxygen? Certainly astronomers do not need to use space suits and carry oxygen cylinders if they want to explore the moon.
"Hm.. Perhaps because" when Hanny was just about to express her opinion, her speech was cut short by Dae-Vin's words.
"Because in space there are no living things that produce oxygen. If on Earth there are plants, and there are phytoplankton that produce oxygen in the waters" said Dae-Vin expressed his opinion. While Hanny puts on a flat face, she is a little annoyed that Dae-Vin interrupts her speech.
"Do you think aliens really exist?" now Zaaryan spoke up. He asked as he propped his chin with his right hand, setting his gaze outside the plane.
"Oh, that's still being researched, right?" Hanny responded while slightly changing her sitting position, because her waist started to ache after a trip that only took a few minutes.
"Yes, it is still being researched. It may indeed exist, it's just that their place has never been found by humans. They're so far away, that humans haven't invented the technology that can take them hundreds of thousands of light-years in a short time." dae-vin responded as he looked toward the galaxy far away. Not a smartass or anything, he was just revealing what he was thinking.
Really, I don't know why it was so hard to do in school. Maybe because of his personality that is too introverted, he is the type of person who is lonely and likes to close himself off from social life.
"Alright, I think we can go there now" said Dae-Vin after seeing the clock whose short hand pointed at the number eight, and the long hand toward the number seven. It only takes thirty minutes to reach space. And five minutes they use to cool the engine for a while.
The originals could be even faster, but since the pilot of the plane was still junior, so.. Like this might be the best option.
After that, Dae-Vin and Zaaryan begin to press a few buttons to reactivate the jet engine. Steering the steering wheel of the plane, moving towards the planet Mars.
...----------------...
His expression was astonished, his eyes sparkling, for this was the first time he had seen the planet Mars directly, not from books or the internet. Araya and Zaaryan. As for Dae-Vin, he seems ordinary. After landing the plane, both hands were still busy pressing a few buttons and pulling a few levers to disable the aircraft engine before they would stay to explore.
"Don't go outside, guys. We have to wear armor. Here the air is not like on Earth, make sure to turn on the air filter." said Zaaryan while starting to remove s**afety belt special that had not been released.
"Okay" replied Araya and Hanny compactly while nodding enthusiastically. Not being told either, they already know, just maybe need to be reminded again rather than forgetting.
Once all the members were in the middle room, a place where they could open the bottom of the plane. And there too, they activated armor mode.
"Well, I just saw your armor for the first time, Araya." Hanny said while still observing the green graded white armor attached to Araya's body. Previously, he had indeed never seen a second-stage version of Araya armor.
"Haihi.. You're right too. I also saw you wearing it for the first time."
"Ekhem! Let's start." said Dae-Vin as he began to move his legs closer to the door to the outside, his left hand pressed the switch and the door opened.
Actually it's just he uses it to get rid of saturation. Not saturated constantly being on the plane, but he began to saturate because he was not spoken to by Araya again since a few minutes ago, the effect was like 'shaken'. It's only been a few minutes. And Araya is still insensitive to Dae-Vin's feelings.
"Is it better, we don't have to split?" zaaryan asked with a busy glance looking around. Currently, the four of them had already started to move on the search. Search in a specific location to be able to find the element stone they are looking for.
"No need, but make sure your detection signal stays on" Dae-Vin replied without looking back. He walks in front. Behind him is Hanny. And the last one is Araya and Zaaryan.
The rocks on Mars are slightly different from those on Earth, the difference being color. If on Earth the land is predominantly brown, then here the land is red. Because on this planet, the land has many metallic elements.
On the planet Mars also has some uniqueness. In addition to its red soil, Mars has the highest mountain in the solar system. The mountain is named Olympus Mons which is approximately twenty-five kilometers high, or about three times the height of Mount Everest on Earth.
When it comes to Mars, don't forget about Phobos and Deimos. The two natural satellites of Mars, also known as the moons of Mars. It has a different size, is not very round like the moon, but has an orbit or trajectory around the planet.
The planet Mars belongs to the group of terrestrial planets, because it is composed of rocks, in addition to Mercury, Venus and Earth. There is another important fact. In addition to having the nickname 'red planet', Mars is included to the inner planet. It is close to the sun and within the asteroid belt.
