From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 514 Crisis on the Mars

“These Americans are really unwilling to accept any softness.”

When Lin Xiao learned that those in the White House were still unwilling to cooperate with them at this time, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

However, even if the other party is still unwilling, he doesn’t really care.

No matter what, the Americans thought they knew more information, but in fact, they, Yue Shisi, knew more information.

They even knew the approximate origins of these ruins.

Shaking his head, “Xiao Mi, how’s the deciphering of those mysterious words going?”

Xiaomi replied: “It’s almost time. I think I’m getting closer to the answer.”

“That’s good.”

Lin Xiao said.

Then he lowered his head again and looked at the draft paper in his hand.

The scratch paper is filled with various complex calculations, and if you are a physicist who studies multidimensional field theory, you can clearly see that these calculations discuss how to interfere with higher levels from the third dimension. dimensions.

Multidimensional field theory has realized how to use low dimensions to peer into high dimensions. Now, after such a long period of development, multidimensional field theory has become more and more prosperous, and there have been thousands of papers on multidimensional field theory.

Nowadays, there is a hot question that has been discussed by many multi-dimensional field theory physicists, that is, whether they can interfere with and affect higher dimensions in their third dimension.

After all, according to the conclusion of Lin Xiao’s original paper proving gravitons, gravitons in three-dimensional space are the projection of gravitons in four-dimensional space. Since the two are related, then, starting from gravitons, can they interfere with the four-dimensional space? space?

Now, Lin Xiao is trying to theoretically prove the possibility of this.

However, he believes that the result is certain.

After all, the consciousness of that kind of high-dimensional space can already “entrust dreams” to them.

But as for why we need to study this thing, it is just in case.

The sense of crisis in Lin Xiao’s heart has never passed.

…

Mars.

After ten hours of driving, Zhang Wei and the others finally arrived at their destination.

Looking at the pillar in front of Firefly No. 1, their faces all showed expressions of surprise.

In any case, it was the first time for them to see this kind of thing with their own eyes.

Although they have seen the ruins on the earth through photos before, the photos are just photos after all, and they are far less profound than the feeling brought by this personal experience.

Especially the pillar standing upright on this red land in front of them gave them a sense of mystery and desolation.

It’s like coming to a scene in some movies.

Finally, Zhang Wei gave a wry smile and said jokingly: “Okay now, we are really not the first Martians in the world.”

Guo Jianwei also spread his hands and said half-jokingly: “Well, now I just hope that a Martian won’t suddenly pop up on the way and try to capture us.”

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t be so stupid here.”

To be honest, he was really worried that something like this would happen.

After all, the unknown is what scares the most.

But soon, Zhang Wei shook his head and said: “Okay, let’s not talk nonsense. Now go and measure this pillar and send the news back as soon as possible.”

“good.”

After hearing Zhang Wei’s words, Guo Jianwei naturally said no more. Anyway, they have already come up here. Is it possible that they can go back?

Then, they took out their tools and began to measure the pillar in front of them.

The exposed part of the pillar is about 110 centimeters, and the unexposed part cannot be detected at all with their current tools, but it is certain that the unexposed part is at least more than two meters.

The diameter of the pillar is about 50 centimeters, which is relatively thick.

Of course, it is precisely because the pillars are thicker that there are more mysterious words left on them.

In this way, after Zhang Wei and the others made some measurements and carefully took several photos, they sent these results to the Tiannian, and then transmitted them to the Earth command by Zheng Annan on the Tiannian. center.

After doing all this, they packed up and prepared to leave.

They couldn’t take this pillar with them anyway, so after testing and confirmation, it didn’t have anything to do with them.

After receiving the news, the Earth Command Center discussed it again.

This pillar-shaped relic is almost identical to the pillar relic they found at the Sanxingdui ruins. Except for the different words on the surface, they are basically the same in other aspects.

This further illustrates that whether they are ruins on the earth or on Mars, their origins are the same.

As for the Sanxingdui pillar, when they first excavated Sanxingdui, they had already started digging underneath. After all, when they saw the pillar, they thought they had discovered something extraordinary.

After all, there are words printed on it.

It’s just that they dug deeper and deeper, and in the end, they surprisingly discovered that the pillar was even connected to a depth of one hundred meters. If they hadn’t encountered a very hard rock in the end that stopped them from digging, God knows they would have been able to dig deeper in the end. How deep can you dig?

And it was precisely because of this that they realized what secrets this pillar hid, so things about this pillar were not reported.

After all, some of the antiques unearthed from Sanxingdui would have been made public by them.

Fortunately, it was not announced, otherwise Americans would definitely be able to see it.

Of course, this matter has passed like this. Before the decipherment of the mysterious text is completed, these relics are of little use.

So just like that, a few days passed.

According to the original plan, after staying on Mars for five days, Zhang Wei and the others would leave. Next, they would need to go to the two satellites of Mars to explore to see if there were any fire monuments.

However, just as they were preparing to leave, their unmanned Mars rover Firefly 2 suddenly sent a message and discovered a second ruins.

After learning the news, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Wei and the others to leave, so the Earth Command Center asked them to go to the ruins to investigate.

And this rediscovered ruins is the third ruins discovered by the United States, which they discovered some time ago. It was precisely because of the discovery of this third ruins that the previous president launched the Mars Project.

However, in the end, their discovery was finally discovered by Yue Shisi under the guidance of Lin Xiao.

However, since this place is relatively far away, even if Zhang Wei and the others drive a manned Mars rover, it will take them thirty-six hours to get there.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the battery life of the Mars rover. Since the terrain on Mars is very complex, with a lot of rocks, and almost all of it is sandy roads, the Mars rover generally travels slowly, and in this way it will naturally Just save some power.

In this way, Zhang Wei and the others once again embarked on the journey to the ruins.

However, the American satellite in the sky also discovered the unmanned Mars rover parked next to the third ruins again.

Satellites on Mars cannot detect people on the surface of Mars, because people are very small, and coupled with the dust in the Martian atmosphere, it is basically difficult to distinguish people.

But the Mars rover is different. It is too big and too obvious.

As a result, NASA received the news only a few minutes later, and then their president naturally received the news.

…

There was silence in the President’s Office for a while.

The president’s face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

After hearing the news, he was so angry that he didn’t vomit blood. Good guy, how many days has the Chinese been here?

As a result, they discovered two ruins one after another?

He now had every reason to suspect that their God had strayed far from them.

It was not until the end that the president took a deep breath, exhaled it, and said, “Okay, okay, at least they haven’t discovered the second ruins, so that’s good.”

“Our supply rocket landed at the second ruins. It’s fine as long as they don’t find it there.”

Hearing that the president was now beginning to comfort himself, everyone present looked at each other.

If only the previous presidents were so sensible, well… rational.

At this time, the Secretary of State frowned and said: “Mr. President, I have some doubts now… After all, if it is just once, it may be just a coincidence, but if it happens twice, it feels like it is not a coincidence.”

The Secretary of State’s words immediately shocked everyone present.

The president’s face immediately wrinkled.

“Are you saying that our information may have been leaked?”

The Secretary of State nodded slightly, “It’s very possible.”

“After all, the computing power of their Qiankun-3 is really terrifying.”

Everyone present nodded.

Things like quantum computers are really scary.

This is called quantum supremacy.

In order to deal with this kind of quantum hegemony, it is basically difficult for them to deal with it except constantly increasing the complexity of the password.

And with Qiankun No. 3, it is entirely possible for China to directly break through their passwords before they have time to change them, and then learn these secrets.

Thinking of this, their brows could not help but frown.

If this is the case, it is absolutely unacceptable to them.

But obviously, it is impossible for them to find out this now. After all, they have no evidence, and it is impossible for others to admit it.

Finally, the president said: “Okay, let’s ignore it for now. We are watching the second ruins. If they discover the second ruins in the next few days, it is certain that they stole Got our secret!”

Everyone present nodded.

“That’s what Mr. President said.”

“Yes.” The president nodded slightly, “Also, where is the Mars spacecraft? What is their situation?”

“They are about to enter the deceleration stage, and they are expected to officially land in ten days.”

“That’s good.”

The president nodded, “Then let them complete their mission well.”

“Okay, Mr. President.”

…

“Oh? I found it pretty quickly.”

The discussion between the president and the others was soon known to Lin Xiao.

He raised his eyebrows. If that was the case, he would not look for the second ruins for the time being.

The second ruins are located in a cave on Mars, specifically at the junction of the Chris Planitia and Ares Valley in the Oxian Swamp area.

It was discovered by the Sojourner Mars rover, and precisely because there is Crisis Planitia there, which is similar to Utopia Planitia, it is also a convenient location for spacecraft to land.

However, due to the existence of Ares Valley, the terrain there is also relatively complex, and there are also some mountains nearby.

Of course, he didn’t care about this. He could just wait for their spaceship to arrive.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao asked Xiaomi to control the Firefly Mars rover to temporarily search for other undiscovered ruins, and then continued to do his thing.

Just like that, time passed again.

On Mars, after thirty-six hours of journey, Zhang Wei and the others successfully arrived at their destination.

After measuring the ruins there and sending the data to Earth, they resumed their journey back to the Tiannian.

This takes another thirty-six hours.

There’s nothing we can do about it, even on the Utopia Plain, which is said to be a plain, but there are actually rocks everywhere, making it difficult to drive fast even with a car.

However, on the way back to the Tiannian, they encountered an accident.

Of course, it was not a danger, but when they were about to reach Utopia Plain, they were surprised to find an icy place because of Guo Jianwei’s casual look!

As early as 2016, NASA observed the surface of Mars and determined that Utopia Planitia indicated the existence of a large amount of underground ice. As a result, they actually discovered it on the road!

Naturally, Zhang Wei and Guo Jianwei passed this amazing discovery back to the headquarters.

No matter what, although their main purpose is still for those ruins, exploring Mars is indeed their main mission on the surface.

This discovery naturally makes the National Space Administration extremely happy. The discovery on the ruins is a secret and cannot be made public. However, this discovery is a real aerospace achievement. In the future, the whole world will remember that it was their mission to the moon. Team members were the first to discover traces of underground water on Mars.

And as the news was announced on Earth, it immediately aroused international praise.

After all, the discovery of underground ice means that if they want to colonize Mars in the future, they will be able to use the underground ice here.

Therefore, Zhang Wei and his temporary team naturally could not leave.

The task of searching for the ruins became to find out the total amount of underground ice under this frozen place.

Of course, survival is not a problem at all. The supplies they have left can still allow them to stay on Mars for two years. Anyway, they don’t have to worry about electricity, and naturally there is no need to worry about the preservation method of food.

In this way, Zhang Wei’s mission to detect underground ice began. After several days of excavation, they temporarily determined the total amount of underground ice below, which is at least as much as Lake Baikal.

The emergence of this news once again plunged the global aerospace community into a period of celebration.

Lake Baikal is the lake with the largest freshwater reserves in the world, accounting for one-fifth of the world’s freshwater reserves. It can be said that as long as they can develop and utilize this underground ice on Mars, they will then build several nuclear fusion power stations on Mars. , conquering Mars is no joke at all.

And because the atmosphere of Mars is very thin, it is difficult to block the solar wind blowing from the sun, so the content of helium-3 is thicker than that of the earth, and the difficulty of mining is also lower. By then, they can even directly mine Mars Utilize these helium 3 to provide power.

As a result, many people on the earth began to excitedly fantasize about colonizing Mars in the future.

…

And just when people on earth were dreaming about the future, the gravity of Mars also successfully captured a human spacecraft that broke into its territory.

In the Mars spacecraft.

“Jaden Armstrong! You killed us!”

“How the hell do I know? There’s something wrong with the code, you all saw it, it failed to slow down!”

Another conflict arose in this spaceship.

However, compared to the previous conflicts, this one made all of them nervous.

Even James King was outraged.

Because, because Jayden Armstrong did not remove control of the engine system in time, they missed the best opportunity to decelerate!

Although they had successfully slowed down, the price they paid for this was that the fuel they originally used for landing had already reached the dangerous level!

This means that they must be careful enough during the landing process, otherwise, they may directly hit Mars during the landing process at an unacceptable speed.

The reason for all this is that there is a contradiction between the highest authority code used to control the engine system and the braking command. As a result, they must clear this highest authority before they can execute the deceleration command!

But originally their deceleration time period was enough for them to complete all this, but what they didn’t expect was that Jayden Armstrong was unwilling to give up this highest authority at the beginning, and insisted on trying other methods, so they missed this deceleration time period.

This also caused them to consume more fuel, and just when they almost escaped the gravity of Mars, they reduced their speed to the first cosmic speed of Mars.

And this time, Jayden Armstrong naturally completely aroused everyone’s irritation.

But they obviously cannot return, and unless they use the excrement of the remaining food on the Mars spacecraft, it is impossible to hold on until their rockets arrive to support them.

In this way, they argued for a long time, and Jayden Armstrong refused to admit his mistakes. Even Alexander Wolf almost lost his temper and wanted to hit him.

“Jaden Armstrong, you are simply a scum. Now, the first person to land on Mars will become a Chinese, and you will forever become a clown in our American aerospace history, spurned by everyone!”

When Jayden Armstrong heard this, his face twisted, and he finally cursed: “You know how to blame me, why don’t you blame the Secretary of State? He told me how to control the engine! He didn’t explain the problem!”

When he said this, everyone present was stunned.

Their… Secretary of State? !
