The Secret History of Mars

Jia Liang, the gold medal producer of the TV station in City A, was a little depressed. After packing a cup of black coffee from the cafe downstairs of the TV station, he entered the elevator with a death-like expression and pressed the button on the top floor, where the Hongmen Banquet was waiting for him.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator door, the director's secretary was waiting there. He swiped his card and took him into the main conference room. As soon as he entered, a lively and gossipy atmosphere hit his face, which was beyond his expectation.

"This is definitely more suitable for our entertainment channel. Director, don't worry. These videos, coupled with the emotional entanglements of the high-looking parties, will definitely hit a new high in ratings!"

"I think this is more suitable for a technology channel. Being able to disappear in front of everyone so clearly must be related to time travel. We can invite a few experts in this field to start a series of discussion programs on the relationship between space and time travel."

"In fact, this kind of disappearing technique has been used in the field of magic for a long time, but Cui Xingmeng's method of disappearing is indeed novel. Our folk art channel can launch a magic reveal event to interact with the audience."

"The possibility of kidnapping cannot be ruled out here. Tens of billions of dollars is enough to make any criminal ready to take action. I think this case should still be handled by the legal channel."

The heads of each channel were arguing with their faces red. Jia Liang looked up and saw that on the big screen in the conference room, the promotional video of Xirang Road Show was playing in a loop, while on the other side of the computer, the 100-inch large monitor was updated in real time on various social platforms. And the hot search list discusses Cui Xingmeng being eaten alive by Xirang.

He was also present at the auction two days ago, collecting comments for the upcoming "Paobao" program with Cui Xingmeng as a special guest. So he witnessed everything that happened on the scene with his own eyes. On the contrary, it was the first time he had seen the promotional video of the Xirang Roadshow in full, because he had always focused on the guests before. The station manager was surrounded by the heads of various channels. He should not be able to care about himself for the moment, so Jia Liang found a corner and sat down to enjoy the promotional video.

"Land is a non-renewable resource? The soil will completely subvert this human understanding!" Cui Xingmeng's professional voice and sweet smile opened the entire promotional video. She was wearing a tailored white lab coat and a transparent splash-proof safety mask on her face. The glasses instantly transformed her into a female scientist.

The camera followed Cui Xingmeng into the laboratory and came to the experimental table. A pair of hands wearing surgical gloves appeared on the screen. On the experimental table was a precision balance, which shone like money under the light. The hand in the picture uses tweezers to pick up a 0.01g thin weight from the red velvet-lined weight box and places it on one end of the balance. The other end is dark red soil that has been vacuumed and sealed in a transparent film.

"This film is water-soluble and its mass is almost negligible. Next, let's see what miracles less than 0.01g of soil can create!"

"Scientist" Cui Xingmeng returned to the camera and used a provocative tone to whet the audience's appetite.

As soon as the camera turned, a helicopter was leaving an unnamed island near the equator. The blue sky, white clouds and blue sea with coconut palms made people suspect that this was a tourism promotion for a tropical island. The helicopter hovered not far from the island.

The scene switched to the helicopter cabin, and Cui Xingmeng, dressed in vacation clothes, appeared in front of the camera with a phone headset. Sunglasses covered most of her expression, and her plump figure was looming under the tulle dress against the light.

"Welcome to the high seas!" The voice is still full of passion! "What you will witness next is a picture that has never been seen in human history!"

As Cui Xingmeng's face moved out of the screen, a white incubator entered the audience's field of vision. After opening it, what was inside was less than 0.01 grams of soil that was weighed and sealed in a water-soluble film that I just saw in the laboratory.

Cui Xingmeng put on his gloves, carefully picked up the film with his left hand, and held it with his right hand. In the next second, he threw Xirang off the helicopter and dumped it into the sea! The camera followed the position where it hit the water and focused on the sea. Countless bubbles soon appeared on the calm sea surface, starting from a small area. Soon the sea water began to boil and the bubbles began to expand. In less than a quarter of an hour, a piece of land emerged from where Xi soil fell into the water. The land grew bigger and bigger, and along with the churning sea water, it radiated towards the surrounding sea areas.

If a tsunami is a disaster caused by sea water swallowing up the land, then the scene before us is the opposite of the tsunami. The land that grows on its own soil is swallowing up the sea water. The spectacle of this "earth wave" is even more jaw-dropping!

The camera follows the helicopter as it spirals around the growing soil, each circle larger than the last. After circling for about five times, the land created by the soil has become the size of a small island.

At this time, the helicopter began to stop circling and flew away from the island. At the same time, the camera began to stretch to a wide angle. The audience can clearly see the coexistence of small islands formed by soil and natural nameless islands on the high seas.

At this time, Cui Xingmeng’s beautiful face returned to the center of the picture, accompanied by her sweet and exciting explanation: “Thank you everyone for witnessing the miracle with me. As you can see, less than 0.01g of soil can be regenerated like this. With the power of the soil, in less than an hour, an area of ​​land similar to the size of the natural island next to it can be grown.”

"For the convenience of comparison, the surveyed water area of ​​this natural island is about 70 square kilometers, which is one-tenth the land area of ​​Singapore, one of the four Asian tigers, and 15 times the size of the Vatican City State, the smallest country in the world!"

"At present, the growth of the soil has stabilized, let's go to the island and have a look!"

The helicopter flew towards the new island. After the pilot found a suitable landing point and stopped, Cui Xingmeng and the photographer put on rain boots and yellow safety helmets, and walked out of the cabin as if visiting an ordinary construction site. Set foot on this new land.

"There are still some slight earthquakes on the ground, but it does not affect people's balanced walking on it. The ground is muddy and tight with their feet. What is heard is the low sound of the waves. It is obvious that this small island that fell from the sky and emerged from nothing has broken through. The calmness of this shallow sea.”

Cui Xingmeng's description made everyone immersed in the scene, as if she was just taking the audience to visit an ordinary construction site that had just been baptized by heavy rain.

"The soil produced by the soil combines the components of some of the most fertile soils on the earth. It includes humus and minerals from the fertile soil of the United States and black soil from Russia, as well as the organic matter of the seawater it absorbs. It is suitable for the growth of various crops." Cui Xingmeng While explaining, he dug up a pile of yellow-black mud and showed it to the camera.

"Whether you want to open up territory on the high seas and build your own national borders; or you want to reclaim land from the sea and expand your territory. 5g of fertile soil, 35,000 square kilometers of fertile soil, are waiting for you at the annual auction venue of Christi Make a bid!" Cui Xingmeng's crisp voice ended the entire promotional video.

"Jia Liang, what do you think?" Jia Liang, who was still immersed in the shock of the promotional video, was brought back to reality by the director's roar.

"Everyone has good ideas, but we must admit the reality. "Paobao" has sold an advertising contract worth 100 million. If this event is temporarily changed to another theme, the TV station will be deemed to have breached the contract and will need to pay three times the default amount. Gold!" Jia Liang hit the nail on the head, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.

He paused for a moment and continued: "This is one. Second, my team has been following Cui Xingmeng and Yuan Yizhou for more than several months. All the information is collected around the theme of auction and treasure appraisal. We temporarily changed the channel of the TV station All the investment will be in vain.”

"But now Cui Xingmeng is missing, and the last guest interaction session is a live broadcast. You can't let Yuan Yizhou perform a one-man show. The previous publicity was all copied." Someone in the conference room raised the question that everyone was most concerned about, and many people nodded in agreement.

"I have already invited a female guest who is comparable to Cui Xingmeng, and her interaction with Yuan Yizhou is definitely exciting!" Jia Liang answered without a doubt.

"You invited Lin Die?! You are indeed the gold medal producer of our station!" The station director was the first to understand Jia Liang's plan and praised, "Then let's adjourn the meeting. There is nothing to discuss. All channels Just cooperate fully with Jia Liang."
