Chapter 283 Farming on Mars (1)

Let’s go back in time for a moment and look back at the situation with the Mars rover.

The two Korean space pilots chosen for the glorious space flight have put their worries to rest after entering a stable course.

Even though I have a career that has already sent countless tourists to the moon, going into space is still an unsettling experience.

Only after safely escaping Earth did I have some free time.

“It’ll be boring on the way to Mars since there’s nothing to do. Want to try the Palm Bus?”

“But if it’s a real-time online game, can’t you play it inside a spaceship? The communication delay would make it impossible to play smoothly.”

“Because it’s synchronous communication, there’s no communication delay even on Mars. Don’t worry and try it.”

“…….”

The two pilots had the word ‘quantum entanglement’ running through their heads.

Is that rumor true?

Even when exploring the moon, there was no communication delay at all, so NASA was confident in that direction… … .

“It’s not quantum entanglement. It’s much better than that.”

“Oh, sorry!”

“What are you sorry about?”

“I’m sorry I just heard information I shouldn’t have heard right now!”

“It’s okay. You’re not going to tell anyone where you’re going, are you?”

Why does it feel like I’m being pressured into not being able to live well if I say something?

The two pilots vowed and swore to themselves that they would never go anywhere and tell anyone, just as they had been trained and sworn to do.

“Since you have nothing to do on the way to Mars anyway, why not try the Palm Bus? It’s pretty fun.”

“All right.”

So the two pilots put on their VR goggles and started playing Palmverse.

The human pilot didn’t have to worry about the sailing schedule because Freedom took care of it.

All the pilots had to do was exercise regularly.

And the pilots soon became hooked on the fun of the Palm Bus.

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this, but I made it a point for you two to start from the same starting point. It’s more fun if you play together.”

“thank you.”

The area the pilots are assigned to is a place of destruction where they lead a space fleet to fight against space monsters.

When the gameplay of leading a space fleet and fighting monsters while actually traveling through space was revealed, the two pilots gained worldwide popularity.

However, as soon as a user named CTW2022 appeared, the aggro shifted to that side.

“We should farm too.”

“I’ll build a space farm station sometime. This will work.”

“Then I will continue trying to terraform the planet.”

The two pilots were in perfect sync.

We tried to divide up the roles and attack, and the flow was not bad, but the result was miserable.

“Oh! What do you mean you won’t buy it if it’s not grown in nature?”

“What the…….”

He was about to shout, “X-Mang-Gam,” but he looked at Ha Soo-Young’s expression and quietly stopped talking.

Ha Soo-young said kindly.

“The original purpose of a game is to curse at the developer. It’s a user’s right. I’m fine with it, so curse as much as you want. It’s not like I made the game anyway.”

“Okay, then I’ll play the game and curse to my heart’s content.”

The Astronaut Guild was founded, and countless players joined as guild members.

Many users were attracted to the fact that the guild leader and vice-guild leader were active Martian pilots and flocked to the game.

The Guild searched the barren galaxy for cultivable planets, terraformed barren planets, and found ways to farm ‘naturally’.

“We are about to enter Mars orbit. Please prepare yourself.”

As I was spending my time absentmindedly playing games, I arrived at Mars in no time.

It was an absurd record, taking just 27 days one way.

“To reach Mars in just 27 days, that’s a huge leap!”

“Even now, Mars and Earth are not at their closest……”

Earth and Mars are 56 million km apart when they are closest, and 401 million km apart when they are farthest.

The perihelion (closest distance) period is approximately 2 years and 2 months, so up until now, Mars probes have been launched in 2-year cycles.

It is an inevitable choice due to the time it takes to get there, but also the issue of fuel.

But now there is no need for that.

Cheongdam 2 traveled for 27 days at a speed of 180,000 km/h, exceeding 100 million km and arriving at Mars.

The reason it took 27 days instead of 23 is because it takes time to slowly accelerate when departing to allow the pilot to acclimatize, and to slowly decelerate when arriving.

This schedule was possible because it flew straight from Earth to Mars without using the gravity of other planets such as Venus to swing by.

“Me, this is Cheongdam 2. We will soon enter the orbit of Mars.”

“You’ve worked really hard. The whole world is watching you right now. Please pay attention to safe sailing until the end.”

The voice of the director of the Naro Space Center was trembling faintly.

The center control room staff on the screen could not hide their emotions. Some even cried silently.

“Landing soon.”

Ha Su-yeong took control of the plane himself, and the other two pilots also tensely prepared for landing.

“Posture control in operation.”

“Reverse thrust maneuver completed.”

“Entering atmosphere. Beginning deceleration.”

“Entering at 6 km/s. Entering at 5 km/s. Entering at 4 km/s…….”

At an appropriate distance from Cheongdam 2, Endeavor, Atlantis, and Discovery were also slowly descending in an upright position.

The four spaceships were shooting each other’s cameras, transmitting the thrilling moment of landing on Mars to Earth in vivid, non-CG form.

The personal broadcast that started about 30 minutes ago was once again seeing a surge in real-time viewers.

Ha Soo-young glanced at the personal broadcast camera and spoke to the viewers.

“Since the departure from Mars, the total accumulated UltraChat amount is 19 billion dollars.”

Thanks to the world’s tycoons competing to blow up Ultra Chat at the start of Mars, the total accumulated amount reached 19 billion dollars.

In response, Kugle made a big concession, saying that they would only take $10 million in fees.

Originally, he was supposed to take a 37% commission, but he couldn’t dare ask Ha Su-young for 37%.

Since we had finally signed a peace treaty, we couldn’t give a pretext for war to break out again.

“The viewer who currently ranks first in Ultra Chat sponsorship is GeologistincheongD. I hereby announce that, including the first accumulated funds, the viewer who ranks first before touchdown will be the first Martian tourist when I go on Mars next time.”

In an instant, the Ultra Chat amount, which was already exploding rapidly, started exploding like crazy.

If before that it seemed like a carpet bombing of conventional bombs, now it felt like nuclear missiles had been launched all over the planet.

“Up to 10 people including companions are allowed, and all usage fees are considered to be already included in Ultra Chat.”

-mchd mchd

-Look at the Ultra Chat exploding hahahahahahaha

-I’m sure the first place was around $30 million, but why is the 10th place suddenly over $100 million? What’s going on?

-The first moon travel ticket was sold for 20 billion dollars. And this is Mars. Wouldn’t the rich rush to get there?

-The viewer currently in first place is Prince Ansalin, right?

-No. If it were the prince who didn’t save her, he would watch until the end and then bid leisurely and politely.

-Since the ticket price is included in the sponsorship anyway, it’s going to explode like crazy.

-Oil barons! There’s no time! There are less than 20 minutes left until touchdown!

Donations were pouring in at a frightening rate.

If Kugle had not released the payment and sponsorship limits in advance, the tycoons might have grabbed CEO Moon Chai by the collar and shaken him.

Because the amount was so large, everyone was paying by cash rather than credit card.

“Okay, we’re just 10 seconds away from touchdown. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…….”

In the meantime, Ha Soo-young was encouraging competition like an announcer leisurely raising the bid price.

The two pilots, suffering from tremendous tension and pressure, looked so amazing.

It’s such a leisurely feeling, as if I’ve been to Mars and back hundreds of times.

‘What a truly amazing person… … .’

“4, 3, 2, 1, touchdown!”

-Wow!

-Manners bidding! Manners bidding! Manners bidding!

-He is a 100% innocent prince!

Three seconds before the touchdown call, the winner was $11.2 billion ahead of the second-place winner, $4.8 billion.

So everyone thought he’d be number one, with $11.2 billion.

But as if to mock such expectations, someone emerged who threw a huge amount of money at once and achieved the highest cumulative total.

GeologistincheongD, he easily took first place again with 40 billion dollars.

-GeologistincheongD? I thought this person was the prince who didn’t live.

-You quietly took first place right away when you left Earth, and you took first place again right away when you arrived at Mars. Wow, wow. How much is 40 billion dollars? Is it about 40 trillion won?

-Yeah, that’s about it.

-This is crazy.

-The spaceship opens now!

The entrance to Cheongdam 2 opened and a ladder unfolded.

Ha Su-yeong was the first to descend the ladder, and the other three space shuttles captured the scene on camera from various angles and transmitted it back to Earth.

Earthlings were able to see Ha Soo-young and the other two astronauts step onto the Martian soil one after another.

Ha Su-young took out a family flag with the Taegeukgi, rice, wheat, and corn on it and planted it, and the bulletin boards of channels where Koreans gathered erupted in cheers and praise.

“Naro Center, we are Cheongdam 2. All three pilots have landed safely on Mars. All are fine.”

-Congratulations, thank you for your hard work.

The center director’s response was outside the communication format, but no one found fault with it.

The first manned lunar exploration was never even thought of, but the first lunar tourist was from Korea.

Although the first unmanned exploration of Mars was only a spectacle, the honor of the first manned exploration of Mars went to Korea.

“Matt Damon, are you watching? I’m definitely going to invite you to Mars soon. I’m waiting.”

Android Freedoms have come down and are starting to work.

First, we unfolded the large chamber used at Pension Del Luna to create a space for the pilots to stay.

Escape pods were placed throughout, circulation facilities were installed in the chambers, and air was pumped into the interior.

After all three space shuttles had unloaded their cargo, only one remained, and the other two ascended back into the atmosphere to maintain geostationary orbit.

This was to prevent a sudden earthquake or sandstorm from destroying all the spaceships at the same time.

There was no need to unfold the solar panels since they weren’t even brought on board.

The two pilots wondered how the electricity could be solved, but did not ask.

-Isn’t this too comfortable?

-Can I just watch like this?

-Oh, long gone are the days when astronauts had to do everything themselves. Why bother when you have Android Freedom?

-Still, just in case, we train… … .

-Just seeing it with your eyes and keeping it in your head is enough. In a modern army, do you dig trenches and train for marches just in case? By the time you have to rely on such a legacy, it will have already been destroyed and the war will be over.

-… … .

-If all of those Android Freedoms are destroyed and we have to move them ourselves, the expedition team will be as good as annihilated.

After the expanded chamber was fully filled with air, the pilots entered after undergoing a depressurization process.

The pilots felt something strange in the comfort of a hotel on Earth.

Is it okay to live this comfortably on a distant planet like Mars?

“What should I do now?”

“That’s right. Since Android Freedom takes care of everything, there’s nothing we can do.”

Ha Su-young urged him from the side.

“Turn on the game and get in there. Are you at that level and wondering, ‘What do I do now?’”
