Chapter 10 Damn, how can you treat us like this?
"It actually cut off the signal directly."
Thomas, the American representative who had not yet left the space center, frowned and said while watching the live broadcast with a black screen in the hotel.
Although he had already expected it, the loss to Americaric Country was not small. They were unable to obtain intelligence from Mars at the first time, and they could not judge Mars by the shape of the building and the furnishings in the base.
person's specific situation.
"Chief Commander, they were too hasty." Thomas walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room.
If America had not suddenly ordered him to withdraw from this joint space mission, Thomas might have been able to sit in the space center and watch the information returned from Mars with researchers from the other fourteen countries.
But everything has changed. In any case, the only one who can contact Mars now is China's space center.
"Dong dong."
"Mr. Thomas, the commander-in-chief asked you to contact them and ask them if we can..." The assistant who had just received the domestic email from Amric came to Thomas with a fax.
Although the other party hadn't finished speaking, Thomas had already guessed what he was going to say.
"You asked me to quit just now, and now you're begging them?"
Thomas already has some headaches regarding Amric's domestic operations.
But no matter how much headache he had, the above task still had to be completed. So after taking the fax from his assistant and reading it, Thomas opened the door of the hotel and prepared to go to the China Space Center to see Cao Guolin.
Cao Guolin, who was in the space center, did not know that Thomas, who had left, was preparing to return. At this time, he was listening to the technical analysis of the members of the signal team.
"Chief Engineer, the information exchange between us and Zhuronghao has been shortened to 27 minutes!"
After many experiments, the signal team members of the control center have been able to fully confirm that the information delay between them and the Zhurong number is only 27 minutes.
"Shortened by so much?" Cao Guolin was also surprised after hearing this analysis.
You know, the time it took for China to transmit information back and forth between the two sides was 46 minutes, which is considered Blue Star's black technology. But the other party just pulled out the wires and fiddled with it twice, and the time was reduced by nearly 19 minutes.
He and his colleagues analyzed the pictures returned by the Zhurong frame by frame, and carefully observed every building in the Mars base.
"The picture is much clearer. The black shadow in the corner of the room has been determined to be a kind of robot that appeared when the other party modified the Zhurong. What the other party changed was only the speed of transmission from Mars, and the time it took us to transmit it was still 23 minutes.
"
"The structure of the wind turbine engine has also been roughly sorted out. In addition to these buildings, the most important thing now is this."
As Cao Guolin spoke, he pointed to a photo on the table in front of him. In the center of the photo was the half of the spacecraft where Luo Xiu had previously searched for the transmission device.
However, in the eyes of the Blue Star people, the Zhurong, which was directly in front of the spacecraft, could only be sent to the bow, and could not directly see the fracture at the rear of the spacecraft.
"This spacecraft is much larger than our rocket. If Martians can really navigate through this spacecraft, it will definitely not be a good thing for us."
Cao Guolin kept tapping the head of the spacecraft with his fingers, whispering his worries.
In fact, not only Cao Guolin, but every Blue Star person has such worries. However, during the live broadcast, the entire Blue Star was attracted by the live broadcast and did not have much time to think about this.
"Chief Engineer, looking at the situation on Mars, is it possible that this 'Martian' just landed on Mars not long ago? Or just came out of the underground?" Next to Cao Guolin, a doctoral student who had just been selected for the Mars exploration mission
Said the building with the Martian wasteland style.
Regarding the question raised by the newcomer, Cao Guolin nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is very possible."
"However, at this time, we can only guess whether the other party is an extraterrestrial organism or a native Martian organism. This requires further information collection to determine."
"Okay, the Zhurong's camera has rotated three times. Let's stop it first."
"By the way, package all these photos and send them to the Architectural Design Institute and let the people there analyze them. After all, they are the experts in architecture."
"After doing this, let's go and rest first. It's already six o'clock. Just leave two people on duty."
At this time, there was no movement on the Mars side, and the 'Martian' seemed to have gone to rest. On the Blue Star side, there was no way to control the movement of the Zhurong except for the camera, so Cao Guolin was also prepared to let himself go first.
Colleagues take a break first.
Therefore, under the command of Cao Guolin, the Zhurong, which was far away on Mars, stopped its rotating camera and focused the screen on the gate of the Mars base.
After doing all this, Blue Star's live broadcast started again.
"Chief Engineer, Thomas from Amric said he wants to meet you." After a busy day, Cao Guolin was about to take a rest when he was suddenly stopped by his assistant when he walked out of the control center door.
"Thomas?" Speaking of Thomas, Cao Guolin remembered what happened at the previous press conference, "Tell him that I have taken a rest."
"OK."
At Cao Guolin's signal, his assistant directly declined Thomas's request to meet. However, Thomas was well prepared and did not stay longer after being rejected. Instead, he returned to the hotel to contact his commander-in-chief.
'Live broadcast resumed!'
'Hey, why don't you move?'
'What happened to Zhurong? Are we completely out of control?'
After the live broadcast was restored, the few Blue Star viewers who were still waiting in front of the screen seemed a little dissatisfied when they saw the empty Mars base gate.
But no matter how they spoke, the Zhurong on Mars did not make any move. This probe far away from Mars cannot be controlled by one or two barrages.
However, although the picture did not move at all, and it was just staring straight at the gate of the Mars base, this 'exotic scenery' still attracted many Blue Star people who wanted to know something from it.
Fortunately, hard work paid off. After waiting for four hours, the Blue Star man who was waiting in front of the screen suddenly heard a clicking sound. Luo Xiu, who had rested, had already dragged five flatbed trucks to the front of Zhurong.
.
"Snapped."
Luo Xiu, who had just walked up to Zhuronghao, slapped Zhuronghao's camera, causing the camera to spin in a circle.
"Let's go down to the mine."
After saying that, Luo Xiu directly tied the flatbed truck to the fuselage of the Zhurong, and walked out of the base carrying only a pickaxe.
‘Fuck, are you using our Zhuronghao as a laborer?’
