Chapter 1409

Jinling space launch center.

The sudden news from the front line left the whole ground command center in a mess.

Earthquake!

It's an earthquake!

In the satellite aerial shot, the raging sandstorm surged to the sky and rolled out a circle of arc-shaped shock waves. Swept by the violent air flow, the surrounding sand dunes were razed to the ground, and the craters were filled up, leaving only a deep scar on the surface of Mars. Far away, the whole mountain is a mess, in the dust covered by the sky into a ruin

Fortunately, there is no sea or lava to erupt on Mars. The Mars scientific research station a few kilometers away was only jolted for a while by the shaking of the earth. Apart from being knocked over by some cabinets and potted plants, there is no big problem.

However, it is worrisome that the collapse of hell gate has triggered a series of chain reactions including regional sandstorms.

At this time, the epicenter is tens of kilometers around, and the place of entry is full of gray dust.

Looking down from the satellite, you can't see what's happening on the ground at all, and you can't receive any signals from there.

In the command room of the ground command center, the voice of the report is one after another.

Everyone's heart spoke to his voice and eyes, praying in his heart for his compatriots on Mars.

"Earthquakes are found in the area of 15 ° s and 128.1 ° w! According to the observation results of Mars scientific research station, it is preliminarily determined that the magnitude is above 9.5! "

"The whole hell gate mountain collapsed! The whole area is now covered by sandstorms! "

"The sandstorm is expected to last for about a week..."

"The latest news! Two people lost contact in the operation! "

“…… One of them It's academician Lu. "

Hearing this sad news, director Li's blood pressure came up in a flash, and his eyes were covered with blood.

He grabbed the staff sitting in front of the console. The old man in his sixties grabbed his collar like he was crazy, and said spitting.

"What's the matter! Academician Lu is missing?! What is the situation! "

The researcher who was caught by his collar was trembling, not to speak, and the whole man was afraid to breathe.

I'm not afraid to be beaten by the old man.

I'm just afraid that the old man's heart can't bear the bad news after he's told the truth.

Now academician Lu's life and death are uncertain. He is a heavy loss to the Communist Party and the state itself. If he is an old leader who has come all the way from pangudu era, the loss will be too heavy.

Looking at the excited director Li, standing beside director Chang Hezhi, hurriedly pulled him.

"Lao Li, calm down, don't be so impulsive! Now what's the situation on Mars is not clear, in case of false alarm? "

"Calm down! You tell me how to calm down! " The staff member was thrown aside. Director Li looked at director Chang, who was holding him. His excited beard was shaking. "There is Mars! Not on earth! "

If it was on earth, let alone an earthquake, it would be a world war, and they would take him home at all costs.

But on Mars, even if they want to do it, they are willing to do it at all costs, and there is no such condition to do it

As soon as the anxious mood came up, the old cardiovascular system suddenly couldn't bear it. Director Li's eyes stared, and suddenly he had a shortness of breath.

Seeing that the situation was not right, director Chang quickly helped him and the staff nearby rushed to him.

"Lao Li! What's wrong with you, Lao Li! "

"Director Li fainted!"

"Come on! Call an ambulance! "

"Medic! Someone's down here! "

The original space launch center was in a mess, because director Li suddenly fainted in the command room, which was even more chaotic.

Looking at director Li who was carried away on a stretcher, everyone's heart was covered with a haze.

This is definitely the darkest moment in the history of China's aerospace industry.

There will never be a day when it's as bad as today

……

"OK I see. "

Jinling Institute of higher learning.

Yang Xu, the vice president of the office, put down the phone with a heavy face. Standing next to him, director Qian Zhongming, director of the Institute of computational materials, immediately asked.

"What is the situation now? Is there any news from the space launch center? "

Just 20 minutes ago, the Astronomical Research Institute of Jinling Institute of higher learning, through the astronomical observation satellites deployed in synchronous orbit, observed the regional sandstorm on Mars.

Because there was no omen, the experts of the research institute preliminarily judged that it was caused by the earthquake according to the existing information.

And I'm afraid the magnitude of the earthquake is not small.Considering that academician Lu is on a mission there, Yang Xu immediately called the Jinling space launch center. I didn't expect that the space launch center, which has always been familiar with them, was silent this time.

Although he didn't ask for any useful information, Yang Xu's intuition told him that he was afraid that something he was most worried about had happened.

“…… All launch activities have been suspended, probably due to the earthquake on the other side of Mars. " After a moment's silence, Yang Xu continued, "although people over there are reluctant to disclose more information, according to the schedule announced before the manned fire boarding Office I'm afraid that expedition is more dangerous than good. "

A little surprise appeared in the pupil, and Qian Zhongming's expression gradually became dignified, he continued.

"How could this happen? Is it that extraterrestrial civilization... "

"I don't know, it's not good to say," Yang Xuyao shook his head. What's more... "

Speaking of this, Yang Xu's tense face suddenly relaxed a little and smiled in a relaxed atmosphere.

"Let alone academician Lu."

"I believe that with his ability, even if he is in great trouble, the problem will not be very big."

There's Mars.

If that's the case

Qian Zhongming smiled bitterly in his heart.

Although he knew that vice president Yang was comforting himself, he didn't feel much comforted in his heart. After sighing softly, he restrained his expression, but asked seriously.

"What shall we do now?"

Think about it, said Yang Xu.

"For the time being, let's block the news and let the experts of the astronomical Institute stop talking about it. No matter what's going on there now, we'll take the information from the manned fire boarding office as the criterion. "

Qian Zhongming said in embarrassment.

"I'm afraid the blockade will not last long. It's not just us I'm afraid that the whole world is watching the situation on Mars. I'm afraid that some people will feel wrong by tomorrow at the latest. "

Academician Lu is the spiritual pillar of Jinling Institute of higher learning.

At least 80% of the researchers gathered under the ivory tower because of his aura. If he had an accident, these people might not have gone, but there is no doubt that the morale blow is quite heavy.

In particular, the Institute of computational materials is a world leader.

The reason why we are able to fight MIT and Stanford is that the founding father of Lu Zhou. If we lose academician Lu's aura, we will not let them fall from the altar, but the world's number one throne still wants to be as stable as before, which is obviously difficult to achieve.

"As long as it can be blocked," Yang Xu continued after a moment's silence after looking at the clock on the wall of his eyes, "now the situation on Mars is uncertain."

"At least we can't mess ourselves up first."

Almost at the same time.

Star Technology headquarters.

Chen Yushan, who is sitting at her desk, suddenly frowns and presses her hand on her left chest.

"Strange..."

Inexplicable palpitation, let her mouth whisper so softly.

"Have you been too busy recently?"

"By the end of the year It's time for me to think about training a successor, too. "

With a slight sigh, Chen Yushan raised her right hand and rubbed it on the center of her eyebrow. Then she picked up the ballpoint pen on the table and raised her energy again.

Mingming slept soundly last night, but I don't know why, but there was a pain in her chest.

It's like

Somewhere in her heart, a piece of it was taken
