Chapter 1368

"Once the long march is over, 400 billion Star River begins with one step!"! 》Looking at the newspaper in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

This is the latest issue of Renren daily.

On the cover of the newspaper is a picture taken on Mars.

There were only five astronauts standing on a flat sand dune, arms hooked to each other's shoulders. Behind them is a silver and white circular colonial cabin and a red flag flying in the wind.

This hard won picture is destined to be recorded in history and become one of the indelible memories in the history of human civilization

Closing the newspaper in hand, the boat hurriedly settled the rest of the breakfast.

Looking at Xiaoai, who came from one side to prepare to clean up the dinner plate, when Lu zhouzheng was ready to get up to go to the bathroom, the cell phone rang.

Pressing the connect button, Lu Zhou put his mobile phone to his ear. Before he could speak, however, a "master" with a trembling voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It seems that you have arrived in Boston safely," Lu Zhou said with a smile after hearing the uneasiness in the voice. Why didn't Lu Zhou call back yesterday? Your sister is worried about you. "

"I Forget. "

When that happens, I'm not in the mood to make a phone call!

Swallowing her saliva, Han Mengqi asked in a nervous voice, "master, master What was the situation of the motorcade that met me outside the airport yesterday? "

Lu Zhou said with a smile, "motorcade? That's probably to show respect for us. Take part in your academic conference and finish the report safely. Don't worry too much about other things. Just take part in meaningful activities. If you can't make up your mind, just call me. "

Although she was still a little uneasy, she was relieved to hear that her most trusted master had said so.

"Well Well then. "

I continued to talk with my little apprentice about the academic conference, put the land boat that I hung up on the phone, put aside the April conference of the International Association of materials research societies, and got up to wash my face in the bathroom.

It's not early.

He'll have to go to the launch center later.

If colonizing Mars corresponds to "going to hell", then "treasure hunt in hell" obviously implies that the gift from the void should be on Mars?

Or at least the clue is there.

Thinking of the previous conversation with the "Observer", the lander determined this guess, and what should be put on Mars. But the only thing that worried him was that his "reptile" all terrain survey vehicle had been on Mars for nearly two years, and no clue was found after such a long time.

This made him wonder whether the gift from the void was still there.

After all, billions of years can even cool the hot planet's core and give birth to life in the chaotic atmosphere. On such a long time scale, there are so many things that may happen

……

Jinling space launch center.

Wang Peng drove himself downstairs to the command tower, and Lu Zhou went straight to the hall of the ground command center.

By the time he arrived here, today's work had begun.

Looking at director Chang Hezhi who came to him, Lu Zhou asked.

"What's the situation at Mars research station?"

"Everything is normal. According to the work schedule submitted by team leader Liang Youcheng, their work today is mainly to lay solar panels."

Lu Zhou nodded, just as he was about to ask if there was any unusual discovery, director Chang suddenly took the initiative to say.

"To say the least, I have something to report to you."

"What is it?"

"Dr. Fan Tong of Mars research station found a very unusual fault structure near the basin 4.5km away from Mars research station when he drilled core samples from the water source. It is speculated that this fault structure may be formed by earthquake. "

"Earthquake?" Looking at director Chang strangely, Lu Zhou frowned and asked, "don't I remember that the geological activities on Mars have been suspended?"

"I'm not particularly clear," said Chang Hezhi, shaking his head, with some perplexity. "In a word, according to him, the research on this fault structure is of great significance, and may even overturn the inherent impression of the academic community on the study of Mars geological structure. As a result, he applied for a look ahead. "

Lu Zhou: "is the fault structure very deep?"

Chang and Zhi shook their heads and said, "it doesn't seem very deep. According to the records in the work log, it's only about ten meters long."

A depth of more than ten meters is already a dangerous depth on the earth.

But for Mars, there's not much danger."Let him go down and have a look By the way, I'd like to tell captain Liang that in the future, unless they plan to explore the volcano or carry out other risky scientific research activities, they don't need special instructions. I remember that I gave him on-site command right before departure. He can make his own decisions on some matters and update the records in the work log. "

Director Chang looked down seriously.

"OK, I'll talk to him right now."

The boat nodded.

"That's for the time being."

……

Tens of millions of kilometers away from Mars.

The rolling dust is lifted by the wheels. A Mars rover with tires as high as the shoulders of adults is moving forward in this endless sand sea.

Sitting in the copilot's seat, Ming Wenzhe, wearing the extravehicular space suit, looked at the screen of the vehicle positioning system and the green dot that was getting closer and closer, and asked casually.

"Are you sure it's an earthquake crack?"

Fan Tong in the driver's seat nodded his head and said in a positive tone.

"I can vouch for it with my academic reputation."

"I'm not questioning you I mean, are you wrong? The data on the thermal radiation image clearly shows that the geological activity of Mars has been suspended. Even if there are seismic structures, they are unlikely to burst / expose on the surface, right? "

Although his major is bioengineering, it doesn't mean that he knows nothing about geology. In fact, most of the people who can be sent here are all-around talents.

Although he is not very professional in this non professional field, he still knows something about it.

Fan Tong: "I'm not less surprised than you, but I'm sure my judgment is correct. As for why, we will know when we go. See that ridge in front of you? Just at the foot of the mountain...... "

After a pause, he corrected his statement.

"We have arrived!"

Near the edge of the ridge, fan Tong, with plaintext sitting in the copilot's seat, got off the car, took off the safety rope from the trunk, and then hooked the metal buckle at the waist of his spacesuit.

"There's hematite all over here, I don't know how about the following signals," the doctor of planetary geology looked at his teammates and continued after looking around. "In a moment, if I hit the flashlight up, you can pull me up."

Mingwenzhe nodded his head.

"OK."

After discussing the plan, fan came to yesterday's position according to his memory.

However

Unexpected things happened.

He stopped at the side of the mountain ridge, and the whole man was stunned, with a face of ghosts.

Through the transparent mask, he read the surprised expression on his face. Mingmingzhe looked around the rough road and asked in an uncertain tone.

"What about the fault structure?"

"Damn it..."

There was a murmur in his mouth, but fan Tong didn't answer. Instead, the whole man took two quick steps forward and groped on the ground like crazy. However, no matter how he searched, he found nothing but sand all over his spacesuit.

The scar like fracture structure

It's like disappearing from the sky.

"Is it wrong?"

If it wasn't for the thin atmosphere on Mars, he would have asked if it was a mirage.

Fan Tong shook his head firmly for his teammates' questions, stared at the flat ground in front of him, and said in an unbelievable tone.

"Impossible! There will be no mistake in the decision! I took photos and uploaded them to my work log! "

Before also saw that picture, plaintext zhe on the face showed hesitation expression.

"Is it possible Did you remember the wrong place? "

Fan Tong continued to shake his head.

"Unless Xu Fu's positioning system and my brain break down together."

Hearing this sentence, the expression on plaintext Zhe's face appeared a little strange.

Fault structure more than 10 meters deep

Even if there is a sandstorm, it can't be wiped out in ten and a half days, right?

What's more, it's only a day.

It's too evil

-Don't forget to compare your mind. By the way, you can also order math and physics. You can have a role portrait at Samsung! (cough, I'm just a little curious about what the U.S. labor union painted these characters.)
