On the fourth day of vacation on the island, Jiang Chen ended his originally scheduled seven-day holiday in advance and took a helicopter to return to Koro Island.
Everything was just because of an email that temporarily changed his vacation arrangements...
The evening of April 4th.
A painted black helicopter roared with propellers, approaching the equatorial island guarded by heavy troops, and descended toward the apron with green lights in the night.
Before he could stop on the apron, Jiang Chen, wearing casual clothes, jumped on the apron and walked towards Kelwin, who had been waiting here for a long time.
This is the original site of the Space Launch Center. After the establishment of the Ministry of Aerospace, it was renamed the Star Ring Ground Command Center, and serves as the headquarters of the Space Ministry with the widest range of Star Ring trade business.
Walking side by side on the way to the inside of the command center, Kelwin walked beside Jiang Chen, while speaking with a serious expression.
The night before yesterday, our Mars Colonial Plan astronomical Observation Team conducted optical observations on the route to Mars when conducting astronomical data analysis on the route to Mars, and then discovered the thing.It's really unbelievable...
Has the message been blocked?Jiang Chen asked without stopping.
It has been blocked.Kerwin said seriously.
Jiang Chen nodded, the confidentiality level was listed as S, and the relevant personnel first gave them a grievance and temporarily isolated.
Kerwin took a deep breath and nodded, understanding.
The Mars Colonial Project Project Team, as the name suggests, was established to colonize Mars, aims to solve all possible difficulties in life from the departure of the colonial ships to the colonists' landing on Mars.
The ecosystem is easy to say. The Eden project in the Apocalypse can be used as a reference, but other problems are not small. Even if it absorbs the technology of the Apocalypse, many places must be personally designed by modern scientific researchers.
On the timeline of the end of the world, for various political and diplomatic reasons, no one in the three camps successfully built colonial ships to Mars until before the war, or achieved a large-scale breakthrough in space activities.
According to Lin Chiling, there are indeed colonies of three major camps, CCCP, NATO and PAC, on Mars, but they are basically scientific research nature, and their scale is naturally quite limited.
Because the ecological cycle was not possible, after the Earth's space elevator was destroyed, three colonies that depended on Earth's material supplies were forced to abandon them.
It is not difficult to launch a spacecraft on Mars, and NASA did it a long time ago.
But building a colony that can maintain stable exchange of materials with the Earth, rather than making Mars a one-way ticket, is not just about launching a spacecraft.
Mars and Earth always maintain relative motion, with a distance between 55 million and 400 million kilometers. Ensuring a stable route from Earth to Mars is the key to realizing the Mars colonization plan.
This work was completed by the astronomical observation group in the project team.
Their daily work is to confirm whether there are obstacles such as meteorites and asteroids on the channel through observation methods such as optical and spectroscopy.
However, when observing the number C1201 channel, they discovered something similar to an UFO.
The two stopped in front of an aluminum alloy door with the sign of the Mars Colonial Plan. Kelwin took out the graphene card in his hand and swiped it on the card reader at the door.
After the door opened, Kelwin quickly walked to the holographic screen directly in front of him, and the project leader sitting in that position immediately gave up his seat.
Kelwin reached out to count the points on the operating interface, then reached out to pat the backrest of the front staff's chair, and ordered to aim the Star Ring 1 astronomical telescope at the number C1201 channel.
yes.The staff nodded and pounded the trackpad with a crackling sound.
The astronomical telescope far away in the Star Ring City swung slightly at the angle and the lens began to zoom.
Soon Jiang Chen saw a dark shadow appeared in the center of the holographic screen.
The black shadow had a sphere with a regular shape, and the space around it was twisted with wrinkles like air waves, exuding a slight ominous aura.
The pupils contracted slightly, and Jiang Chen's heart instantly raised to his throat.
Through elemental spectral analysis, the target titanium content was above 61%.Without noticing the change in Jiang Chen's expression, Kelwin called out another spectral map filled with orange and red and explained to Jiang Chen in the parameters on the figure.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and his clenched fists relaxed.
Although it is not certain whether biological civilization uses metal to arm itself, at least one thing is certain. Since the technology tree has fallen to the biological world, the carbon content must be more than 50%, right?
After stabilizing his emotions a little, Jiang Chen raised his chin at the black sphere in the holographic screen.
What is that?
have no idea.Kerwin's expression was indescribable, as if it was excited and suspicious. We guessed that it might be an UFO...from another civilization.
Other civilizations?
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
Zoom it in.
Can't do it.Kerwin shook his head.
Can't do it?Jiang Chen was stunned.
Kelwin did not explain, but chose to cover it up directly for Jiang Chen to see it, patted the chair of the staff sitting in front of him, signaling him to adjust the focal length of the telescope and pull the UFO in the lens into it.
The next magical scene made Jiang Chen's eyes widen.
As the lens is pulled in, the UFO in the center of the lens is tearing the picture.
When the distance broke through a certain boundary, the dark UFO began to blur as if he had made a code, and finally disappeared from the picture.
Yes, it disappeared directly.
The silence lasted for a long time, and when the staff member pulled the camera away again, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.
Optical invisibility.
Yes.Kerrwin nodded with a serious expression, so we thought so too.
From this point of view alone, the possibility that this spacecraft was launched by the former Soviet Union or the United States was completely ruled out.Currently, only Star Ring Trade and Future People Group have mastered mature optical invisibility.
This UFO can be observed optically, and our technology cannot analyze what the mechanism of action is for the time being, but one thing is certain that this function should be damaged for some reason, otherwise we should not see it at all, rather than seeing a black shadow approximately spherical at a certain distance as we are now.
Speaking of this, Kelwin paused for a moment and expressed his guess.
If this explanation holds true, then the remaining possibility is that this should be the wreckage of some UFO.
Looking at the black shadow on the screen, Jiang Chen thought for a long time and spoke.
Is there a way to pick it up?
Kerwin shook his head and said with a look of distress.
It's too far, it's 30 million kilometers away from our straight line, and our electric ray X-1 series spacecraft has a cruise radius of only one million kilometers, and it's simply not capable of flying outside the Earth-Moon system, let alone bringing it back.
Just go up and take a look.Jiang Chen looked at Kerwin, we must at least know what was above.
At least we have to know what is above other countries.
After pondering for a long time, Kelwin sighed and spoke.
Theoretically, the RM-400 ion propulsion engine used by the Electroray X-1 series spacecraft already has the ability to navigate interstellar.With the help of the ejection port of the space elevator, it is not difficult to accelerate to the second cosmic speed and break away from the Earth-Moon system.But the key is that the battery of the Electric Ray X-1, according to the calculations of the quantum computer, its energy has just been enough for one round trip.Forced execution of this flight mission will have a high probability of being a one-way ticket.
Once you cannot return, it is the real drifting universe, and you can almost give a death certificate.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen made a decision.
Select volunteers from the Star Ring Trade active pilots.
Those who participate in this top-secret flight mission will automatically increase their military rank by level three regardless of whether they survive or not.
Install the dormant bin in the electric ray X-1 performing the mission.If it is determined that it is impossible to return, the frozen dormant program is allowed to be activated and our volunteers will be sent to the future.
