The Black Technology Era of Xueba

The reporters refused, and they needed more information from Jim.

CNN: "Mr. Jim, I want to know how the astronauts are doing now, are they still healthy?"

Jim: "Yeah, they're still healthy."

"If the Adam starts the return procedure and we start the rescue procedure, will it be too late to dock on the road?"

Jim: "That's at least three months. It's too late. Besides, the Adam is currently damaged and cannot start the return procedure."

BBC: "Does this mean that the human exploration plan on Mars has completely failed, and do we have other ways to rescue them, such as helping astronauts find a resource module or sending a rescue team."

Even though he had just answered it once, Jim answered patiently again: "We have used the Discovery satellite to search the entire landing site and found no trace of the resource capsule. The landing site is located on the platform of the canyon, and it is not deep enough to go forward. The bottom of the canyon is followed by high mountains. Even if the resource capsule is deep in the canyon, it is impossible for two astronauts to get the resource capsule. Moreover, the satellite image basically proves that the resource capsule crashed under the condition of liquid oxygen. Explosion. Two astronauts also did a foot search at the landing site without finding any useful clues."

"Whether to send a rescue team to Mars is still under study, but it is certain that even if we send a rescue team, it will take six or seven months to reach Mars, which is far beyond the lifeline that two astronauts can bear."

Fox News: "Is this accident within the expected range? The mission to Mars was originally planned a few years later, but it was brought forward because of Pangu Technology's landing on the moon. Is the accident related to the advance time?"

Jim: "Any deep space exploration attempt will have risks, and it has nothing to do with whether we plan ahead of time. The advance of the plan is not the reason for Pangu Technology, but the arrival of the Martian window."

Michigan Times: "Is it ethical to keep two astronauts working until they die? I pray for them that they will find a way to survive."

Jim: "It was a mutual decision between NASA and the astronauts to continue working, and it was their will."

Many reporters raised their hands to ask questions, but Jim was in a very uncomfortable mood. He didn't answer any more questions and quickly left the press conference.

The world was shocked when the reporters released the latest news.

"Adam's landing error, the resource module fell off, and the two-month countdown to the astronaut's life."

"Failed Mars landing, no rescue."

"Mars heroes waiting to die.

"

There are also some unscrupulous media, in order to attract attention and click rate, they specially interviewed the families of the two astronauts.

All they brought to the families of the astronauts was grief and pain.

Xia Guo's netizens are still more rational and objective.

"Both of them are heroes, and I sincerely hope they can be safe."

"It is indeed too far away, and it is too late to set out with food now."

"Looking back, our moon landing was really successful. There was no single mistake, and the astronauts were able to return safely and smoothly. This is our success."

Mars, Eden Region, Adam Landing Module.

Chiesa and Bradward did not know that Jim actually said at the press conference that the remaining two months of work was the result of consultation between the two and NASA.

The two thought that this was NASA's Plan B, and there was no need to discuss it.

If there is a need for negotiation, Bradward will strongly ask NASA to rescue and immediately launch a new vehicle to carry materials to Mars.

Food is expected to be two months, what if a miracle happens?

Just when Chiesa had given up his desire to survive and was ready to mechanically carry out the work that NASA had given him.

A text message from NASA also came, which read:

"Federico Chiesa, Thomas Bradward, the world can remember your outstanding contributions to the history of human deep space exploration. From now on, we will regularly broadcast letters, videos and audio messages written by your family for you, and also You are allowed to leave a message to your family at any time. I hope your work on Mars goes well in the next two months, and God bless you and good luck.”

After seeing the message, Bradward was angry, he said: "Why don't you send someone to save us, why? Even if there is only a little hope, they can try."

Chiesa has calmed down, he said with a smile: "It's useless, do you know what the cost of a high-thrust rocket is? Not less than 15 billion meters, do you know how much the Adam cost? A lot? More than 10 billion meters. Plus launch preparation and all the cost of not less than 30 billion meters. I now doubt whether NASA has a spare Mars lander.”

"I won't give up! My mom is still waiting for me to come home!" Bradhua kept sending messages from the center console asking NASA to send a rescue team, but there was no echo after the message was launched into deep space.

Just when Bradward fell into madness, Chiesa suddenly said: "We know the level of NASA, but we don't know the level of the people of the Xia country. Maybe... Maybe the people of the Xia country, maybe Pangu Technology will have a solution."

It is not unreasonable for Chiesa to say this, because before landing on Mars, he has seen media reports that Pangu Technology has completely conquered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, and plans to apply this technology to the civilian field and future deep space probes. engine field.

Bradhua also remembered one thing. He said: "Pangu Technology has established an ecological base on the moon, and there should also be a quantum communication base station. We can ask them for help!"

As he said, Bradward sent a distress signal to the moon.

...

Washington, D.C., NASA Headquarters.

Just when Jim fell into despair and faced the craziness and accusations of the media and the public, Thomas, the chief technician of NASA's power technology department, was excited to find Jim with a report of several pages.

"The Adam is still alive!" Thomas said in a hoarse voice, and he had stayed up for several nights.

The news was like a booster, and Jim was instantly activated. He hurriedly sat up and said, "What did you say? Is the Adam still there? Did the Discovery find the resource cabin?"

"No! The resource module has more and more certain evidence that it crashed in the abyss. I'm talking about another way."

The report was handed to Jim, and Thomas said, "I got the latest issue of Pangu Technology's Deep Blue through my friends in Xia Guo's academic circles."

"Dark Blue"?"

"To Deep Blue"! Pangu's academic journal of science and technology, this issue of Deep Blue contains Pangu's latest controllable nuclear fusion technology. According to the technical principle, this technology can be completely applied to the engines of rockets and detectors. High-intensity plasma The thrust produced by the burst is far greater than that produced by current chemical energy."

Thomas said: "If the engine is installed on the rocket and the probe according to the data given in Deep Blue, the weight of the materials we carry will be several times that of the present. If we still calculate the weight of the Adam, we can reach the The time on Mars will be shortened to just 30 days."

Thomas said: "I just calculated with the minimum data provided by Pangu Technology, maybe it will be faster than this."

Jim grabbed the life-saving straw at once.

He is the commander-in-chief of this Mars plan, and he suggested to land on Mars in advance. He needs to be responsible for this failure.

This failure almost decides Jim's future destiny. The Wujiao building is holding a meeting to prepare for Jim's dismissal.

Even if we don't talk about Jim's own future, the failure of the Mars plan this time has also reduced the face of the Americans, not to mention that there are two lives on it. These two are the best astronauts in the United States. It will take several years to train one person. Cost tens of billions of meters.

"What's your plan?" Jim asked.

"We hope to cooperate with Pangu Technology. We have spare spacecraft and rockets, and we only need to change the power system to a nuclear fusion plasma thrust system. After detailed calculations, if Pangu Technology's technology is true, then the modification requires In one month, the journey will take a month, and after two months, our rescue equipment and supplies will just arrive in the Eden area of ​​Mars."

Thomas looked at Jim earnestly and said, "I really hope we can give it a try. I don't want to see them both slowly waiting to die on Mars!"

Jim thought for a moment and said, "You should know that we have just rejected Pangu Technology's request to carry microsatellites. Now that we propose cooperation, they may not agree."

Thomas was very anxious, "We can't hesitate any longer. Cooperation can be negotiated. Now we agree to whatever conditions Pangu Technology puts forward! We need to race against time!"

Jim nodded, "Reporting to the federal government in the name of NASA, we need to cooperate with Pangu Technology."

At the same time, Pangu Technology headquarters also received a distress message from Mars.

On the distress message, Bradahua said: "Dear Mr. Xiao Ming, we are talking to you in a very critical situation. I know that you are a kind and great person, and I know that the original intention of Pangu Technology Group was to help The progress of human science and technology... Today we are asking you for help on the Mars Adam, I hope you can find a way to help us escape from danger... You once said that human beings should have no borders in the exploration of deep space... We know that Pangu technology must be Technology and methods in the future...hope you can lend a hand."

Qian Yi handed the letter of help from Mars to Xiao Ming, and then said sadly: "We only talk about science and human nature. I can imagine the despair of the two of them when they are 55 million kilometers away from the earth. It's a pity, they don't know, Pangu Technology does not currently have the technology to save them, if NASA could agree to take our satellite to Mars, then we can also help the two astronauts and their families to have a timely video call without delay."

Xu Limin on the side looked at the distress letter and said, "Who said that Pangu Technology doesn't have this technology?"
