Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

"Disappeared?"

Jinling Space Launch Center.

When Lu Zhou heard a report about the seismic structure, he almost didn't stand up from behind his desk.

On the surprised expression on Lu Zhou's face, Director Chang Hezhi nodded with a strange expression.

"Yes ... according to the updated mission log of our Mars scientific station, our scientific personnel sent a Mars rover to the target area, but when they arrived at the fault structure, they found nothing there."

"It's like ... it disappeared overnight."

A dozen meters deep fault structure disappeared overnight?

Lu Zhou had never heard anything so incredible.

"Did a sandstorm happen that night?"

"Sandstorms occur on Mars all the time, but even sandstorms, it is not possible to bury a ten-meter-deep fault structure overnight ... this is what Dr. Fan recorded in his logbook."

Lu Zhou said.

"Tell me directly, what else did he say?"

Director Chang Hezhi shook his head and said, "Nothing else, he said so much about that fault structure. In addition, it is about an application for publication. He hopes to make this amazing geological discovery public. Publish, let more people analyze this amazing phenomenon. "

The scientific research funding of the ascension plan mainly comes from Huaguo. The scientific research results of all scientific research activities on Mars are nominally belong to the collective office of the manned ascension plan. Application must be made to the Manned Ascension Plan Office and approved.

However, in general, such research projects that do not involve sensitive experimental content are just walking forms. The Manned Ascension Program Office certainly hopes that they can make more valuable results so that their investment in the Mars project can be worth the money.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou nodded.

"Just do what he said."

Although Lu Zhou felt that it was a bit too hasty to publish the discovery now, and it might seem more rigorous to publish it after getting more clues, Dr. Fan's proposal made some sense.

After all, the strength of a person is small, and the solution that comes to one head is not as good as tens of millions of heads. Only when more people are involved in this field can there be hope to solve the problem.

Looking at the work log in his hand, Lu Zhou's sight stayed at the coordinates of 14.7 ° south latitude and 128 ° west longitude, and the index finger swept gently on this line.

"Speaking of which, what is the name of the mountain next to this fault structure?"

Director Chang Hezhi: "If I remember correctly, it is named after the International Astronomical Union ... Its name seems to be derived from a work of art."

"artwork?"

"Thegatesofhell, the author is Auguste Rodin ..." After a pause, Director Chang Hezhi thought for a moment and continued, "Translate, call the gate of hell."

Door of hell……

The name is a bit awkward.

Chewing this word over and over again, that hint of ominous premonition, again appeared in the bottom of Lu Zhou's heart.

"This name is not very auspicious," took the pen from the table, and wrote a line of text beside the copy of the work log. Lu Zhou passed it to Director Chang Hezhi's hand. It's good. "

"128 outliers?"

"Well," looking at Director Chang Hezhi, Lu Zhouyan continued succinctly. "Raise the priority of this research project to level a, and report any new findings to me immediately."

...

Since the failure of the last "New Virginia" plan, under pressure from public opinion and funding, nasa has suspended more than 90% of its projects on Mars.

However, although the launch plan left a place for nasa, and even has not slowed down, it does not mean that they just give up their desire for Mars so willingly.

However, everything has returned to the category of reason.

nasa high-resolution imaging science laboratory.

This is the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Curiosity Command Center. It is also the only research team in Nasa that still focuses on Mars.

"Latest research materials."

Throwing a document on the desk, Professor Astak looked at the middle-aged man with glasses sitting behind the desk and continued, "I don't know if you've seen it, but I suggest you Look good. "

"The latest research data?"

With these words in his mouth, Professor Committen reached out and picked up the document, glancing roughly.

However, it doesn't matter if he looks down this line two lines down the document, especially after seeing the color photo attached to the text, the expression of the whole person suddenly becomes strange.

"Earthquake structure ... disappeared after it appeared? How is this possible?"

"I also think it's ... incredible," looking at Professor Committen, and Professor Astak continued. "But planetary geology is not my research direction, and I want to know how you think about it."

"What do I think? How else can I see, only they are there, it is all they have to decide ... If they are right, then we are mistaken. The geological activity of Mars is still quite active, and the core of the earth has not Cooling? There seems to be only one such explanation, and there may also be a special local tectonic movement that allows the fractured structures that have formed to heal overnight? Hiss ... this sounds like a spiritual event. "

Pushing on the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Professor Committen, who sat upright from the chair, continued his brows and said, "To tell the truth ... aren't these two comparison pictures really come out?"

The geological activity of Mars has ceased. This is not a nonsense of imagination, but a conclusion obtained after rigorous scientific analysis based on the thermal radiation images taken by nasa.

All clues point to the fact that the geological activity of Mars has completely stopped, and the core magma has completely cooled.

This is a dead planet. No plate movement is possible, and no earthquake or crack caused by the earthquake is possible.

This is unlikely, at least for the last few billion years.

Not that he measured the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.

It is just p-pictures, data compilation, etc. that falsify the research results, which is not a rare thing in the academic world.

"I have found a third-party inspection agency and analyzed it. At least according to their updated electronic files on the official website, there are no obvious signs of modification in the photos ... Of course, they are not ruled out so clever that we can't see them."

"It's unbelievable anyway," put the research materials in his hands on the table, and Professor Cormington sighed after thinking about it for a long time. "It would be nice if I could go to the site to see it."

A bitter smile appeared on Professor Astak's face.

Check it out on Mars ...

The idea sounded whimsical.

But I also have to say that it seems that this is indeed the best way than to guess blindly over a distance of tens of millions of kilometers on the earth.

However, just as the two were having a headache looking at the material, a word suddenly came in from the door.

"In fact, it may not be impossible."

Hearing the sound coming from the door, the two looked up and looked at the door.

I saw Director Carson standing there and walking into the office.

"Sorry, I am undoubtedly overhearing your conversation, but your voice is too loud, and I just came here to find Professor Comidon again ..."

Facing the enquiring eyes of the two, Director Carson shrugged his shoulders and continued with a slight cough. "For well-known reasons, the White House intends to restore relations with China, and according to what I have learned, both parties are already including history Agreements were reached on many aspects of the remaining issues ... Of course, these things do not need us to worry about, the key is that China agrees that in the next batch of people going to Mars, we will reserve about 1 or 2 international cooperative scientific research Quota of personnel. "

Professor Astak stunned, hesitating.

"In other words ... can we take the Chinese rider to Mars?"

"It's no problem to say that, but I hope you can understand it as a kind of scientific research cooperation, and it's the kind that is good for both parties ..."

He coughed heavily, and Director Carson, who had forcibly ended the topic, continued to look at Professor Comiton with a grim expression.

"Just as if I just heard, you seem to be interested in geological research on Mars?"

"That's right ..."

Seeing a little hesitation on Professor Committon's face, Carson didn't give him more time to think about it, and then he threw out his proposal.

"Then Professor Committen."

"Would you like to go to Mars for a long-lasting friendship between the two countries?"
