Chapter 283 Farming on Mars (5)
The first potatoes have finally been harvested on Mars.
The Android Freedoms loaded a sealed box full of potatoes onto Cheongdam 2.
“I’ve achieved my goal. I’m going back now. What are you going to do?”
“…….”
The three astronauts looked at each other without answering right away.
Although I missed Earth, my desire to explore the unknown that came with living on Mars grew with each passing day.
Originally, they were supposed to go back with Ha Soo-young, but they wanted to stay here a little longer.
“If we want to stay here a little longer and explore Mars, is that okay?”
“Of course. We have plenty of food.”
The three space shuttles, including Cheongdam 2, were loaded with supplies, food, and water from the beginning.
The food was enough to sustain three astronauts for more than a year.
And if controlled by Android Freedom, it could return with food supplies from Earth in less than two weeks.
Because if there are no humans riding, there is no need to worry about acceleration or deceleration.
This can compress one-way travel time to that extent.
“If you want, we can change the schedule like that. Even if the worst happens and all three space shuttles are disabled, Cheongdam 2 will come to your rescue within a month. If anything happens to Cheongdam 2, we can send Cheongdam 1.”
Even if Ha Soo-young leaves alone, the chances of something going wrong on Mars are very low.
There are three spaceships, so all we have to do is wait for a rescue team to arrive from Earth.
“Matt Damon had to wait hundreds of days, but you don’t have to. Now, a manned mission to Mars can take 20 days. An unmanned mission will be even faster.”
“Then we would like to stay here and explore Mars some more.”
“Okay. Then I’ll leave alone. Oh, as soon as we arrive on Earth, I’ll load up Cheongdam 2 with the necessary supplies and send it right away.”
“Thank you, Captain.”
Since Ha Su-yeong was the leader of the expedition, it was not wrong to call him leader.
Ha Su-young was named as the oldest of the three astronauts.
“Aviator Shin Seung-mok”
“Yes, sir.”
“From now on, Astronaut Shin Seung-mok is the Mars Exploration Team Leader. I hope the other two will also follow the leader’s instructions well and safely complete the Mars exploration mission.”
“All right!”
“Then take care. Let’s have a party when we meet on Earth later. If you ever feel like returning, just report to the Naro Center.”
“yes!”
So Ha Su-yeong decided to take off into space again on the Cheongdam 2.
He deliberately left all of the android Freedoms on Mars without carrying them aboard.
Although he himself no longer needs Android Freedom, it would be advantageous for the Mars Exploration Team to have at least one more Android Freedom unit in case of an emergency.
“Well then, bye everyone. I’ll throw you a big homecoming party on Earth later.”
“Take care on your way back!”
“See you later on Earth!”
Ha Su-young boarded Cheongdam 2, escorted by the Mars Exploration Team, and made a spectacular departure from Mars while the entire world watched.
“I’ll check the farm level of the Palmbus later. Don’t be lazy just because I’m gone.”
“……Wouldn’t it be possible to raise the farm level by first building a farm?”
In this way, Ha Soo-young swept all the titles of being the first person to set foot on Mars, the first person to leave Mars, and the first person to complete a one-way trip from Mars to Earth ‘alone’ while receiving applause.
As soon as they left the Martian atmosphere, Ha Soo-young gave an order.
“Freedom, begin.”
“Yes, Master. We have sent a message that communications will be blocked for 10 minutes for a brief system check.”
“Okay. Then let’s step on it.”
Ha Soo-young gripped the joystick lightly.
Cheongdam 2 began to rapidly increase the output of its fusion rocket.
An enormous amount of pressure was transmitted through the entire body, which a normal human would never be able to withstand no matter what gravity was applied to it.
However, Ha Su-yeong continued to pull the joystick without showing any expression.
“Master, we have reached 500,000 km/h. The nuclear fusion engine has now reached its limit.”
“Is this really the limit? I lack the skills, the skills….”
“The Particle Assembly Command fuel tank can’t store hydrogen indefinitely. And it will arrive at Earth in 7 days.”
“It’s only 7 days… The world is going to turn upside down again. It’s going to be fun to watch.”
“I’m sure Earth is worried too, so let’s resume communication now.”
“Yes, that’s right. When you resume communication, send the coordinates as well.”
“Yes, communication has been resumed. Current coordinates, speed, and other navigation information are being transmitted.”
A while later, at the Naro Space Center, the voice of the center director who was in an uproar called out to Ha Su-young.
“This is Naro Center, Cheongdam 2, come out.”
“This is Cheongdam 2. What’s going on?”
“I called because I couldn’t believe the navigation information I received. Is it true that you are now going over 500,000 km/h?”
“Yes.”
“Are the current coordinates correct?”
“Of course.”
“How on earth was it possible to achieve such tremendous acceleration in such a short period of time? The pilot’s body probably couldn’t handle it?”
“That is the secret technique of the swimming space. Therefore, I will refrain from asking any further questions.”
“That, that kind of… … .”
“The gravity resistance technology test was successful, but it still needs to be verified. I don’t think it can be applied to other pilots besides me yet.”
There was no such thing as gravity resistance technology.
It’s just that Ha Soo-young’s body, which has transcended humans with the help of an elixir, has surpassed gravity and speed with pure physical strength.
‘Aerospace professionals of the world, think, think, and live in confusion.’
“It will likely reach Earth in a week. Advance notice is given that communications systems may be temporarily suspended during that time to withstand the rapid deceleration.”
“Understood. I look forward to your safe return.”
So, after a week-long one-way voyage, Cheongdam 2 began to decelerate rapidly.
This time, since it took place in space near Earth, most advanced spaceflight countries were able to watch the amazing deceleration process of Cheongdam 2.
As the distance approached, Cheongdam Unit 2 changed the direction of the spacecraft’s head and began firing its nuclear fusion rockets toward Earth.
By the time it entered an orbit 120 km above the Earth’s surface, Cheongdam 2 had already slowed down to 1 km/s.
Leading space agencies such as NASA, the European Space Agency, the Russian Federal Space Agency, the National Space Administration of China, and Japan’s JAXA did not neglect observation and orbit tracking of the approaching Cheongdam-2.
And they fell into great despair.
“Is this possible?”
“This is a ridiculous move! This can’t be happening!”
“Just like when I left, I came back sitting upright……”
Usually, when manned spacecraft re-enter the Earth, they orbit the Earth several times like satellites to adjust their speed and coordinates.
It circles around like a liver and then lands carefully on the landing spot.
However, Cheongdam 2 landed gently at the Naro Space Center station in a straight line just as it had when it left.
We have seen this kind of landing flight many times through lunar tourism, but this landing flight technique of rapidly decelerating from 500,000 km/h for an hour and landing in a straight line is something special.
Space experts from around the world were left scratching their heads in shock.
“Cheongdam-2 has far surpassed all the space navigation technologies we possess.”
“It’s not just the nuclear fusion propulsion engine or the fuel tank. There is a huge gap that cannot be caught up in all aspects, including the attitude and maneuverability of the spacecraft, and the subtlety of the output control.”
“If we have just now created the steam engine, Swimming Space is already in the process of commercializing the magnetic levitation train.”
Naturally, those in power could not sympathize with such pessimistic despair from space experts.
Rather, it revealed a sense of rejection full of cognitive dissonance.
“A steam engine and a magnetic levitation train? There can’t be that much of a difference.”
“Even if you exclude the fusion rocket and the fuel tank, is there really that much difference? Stop talking nonsense!”
“Even if Rohan is a genius, isn’t it impossible to create that kind of gap overnight?”
Space experts were taken aback by the reactions of those in power who were showing their nervousness and discomfort.
There have been more than a few instances of trying to force objective facts into political interests, but this time it went too far.
The White House, which had signed the ‘American Treaty’, was able to enjoy this situation cheerfully.
The Director of the National Intelligence Service met with the President in person and reported on the current situation.
“Cheongdam-2 surpassed 100 million kilometers in just 7 days. That’s over 8 times faster than Voyager 1.”
“Director, is this the fastest spaceship speed ever recorded?”
“That’s not it. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has reached a speed of nearly 590,000 km/h. However, this was achieved by stealing the gravity of Venus. Cheongdam-2 exceeded 500,000 km/h with only the thrust of its magnetic engine.”
“In terms of propulsion alone, it is the fastest spaceship.”
“Yes, Mr. President. It was a really great decision for NASA to partner with the Nalow Space Center.”
“It seems like you have something to say.”
“Yes, Mr. President. I would like to establish a branch of NASA in Korea. From now on, all space development investments will be centered around Korea. No, it will be impossible to think about it without Korea.”
The director continued speaking resolutely.
“If it were up to me, I would like to keep only the administrative staff here and move the rest to Korea.”
“First of all, the Korean branch must push ahead unconditionally. Make a plan and report it.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”

Mars Potato Promise.
This is a promise Ha Soo-young made to gamers around the world to make Palm Bus a hit.
The plan is to give out Martian potatoes to the top 100 gamers with the most progress.
But a problem arose.
There was only one gamer who made significant progress enough to receive a potato.
-The original enemy was disappointed.
I was going to give out potatoes to the top 100 people by comparing their farm levels, but none of them, except one, have a proper farm yet.
This makes it impossible to select the remaining 99 people.
This is different from a situation where no winner is selected due to poor performance in a contest.
In order to be judged, a completed painting, including coloring, must be submitted, but in this situation, only one person submitted a completed work, while the rest only submitted sketches.
Farm level is essential to compare user rankings, but farms haven’t opened yet, except for CTW2022.
-The original commander was greatly disappointed, but after much thought he made a decision.
As promised, we will give a thank you gift to the CTW2022 user, the number one gamer, and we will keep the remaining 99 potatoes frozen and wait for the 99 recipients to show up. They will probably not taste good because they are frozen.
Instead of accepting the prize, the Martian potatoes, CTW2022 put them up for auction at the Farmbus Auction House.
1 kg of potatoes were sold for a whopping 2.8 billion won.
-Fuck. I’m dirty so I have to do farming.
-Even if you have an awesome space battleship, it’s useless. You’re better off just having a small garden the size of your palm.
Some users, tired of the extreme difficulty of farm setups, are starting to think differently.
-Wouldn’t it be faster and better to find a star with CTW2022 and barter with it rather than terraforming and farming?
