Chapter 1369: Beginning of the Day

"The hundreds of millions of miles crossed, and the 400 billion stars began beneath!

Looking at the newspaper in hand, a smile appeared on the face of the ark.

This is the latest issue of Everybody's Daily Newspaper.

On the cover of the newspaper is a photograph of Mars.

Only five astronauts were seen standing on a smooth sand dune with their arms clasped against each other's shoulders. Behind them is a silver-white circular colonial compartment and a windward red flag.

This hard-won photograph is destined to be included in history as one of the indelible memories of the history of human civilization...

Close the newspaper in your hand and the ark will hasten to resolve the rest of the breakfast.

The phone rang just as the ark was about to get up and go to the bathroom.

After pressing the button on, the ark gathered the phone to his ear, but before he could speak, a "master” with a slight tremor came from the telephone.

“Looks like you're safe in Boston," he said, laughing at what the Ark might have guessed. "Why didn't you call yesterday? Your sister's worried about you. ”

“I... forgot. ”

That kind of thing happened, where's the idea to call?

He swallowed his mouth and Han Mengqi whispered nervously, "Master, Master... yesterday, the convoy that picked me up outside the airport, what is going on? ”

The Ark laughed and said, "The convoy? That's probably to show respect for us. Take part in your academic meeting and feel comfortable finishing the report. Don't worry too much about anything else. Just take part in a meaningful event and call me if you don't have an idea. ”

Though there was still some flattery in her heart, she was temporarily relieved to hear her most trusted master say so.

“Well... well. ”

He continued to chat with his little apprentice about the academic conference, hung up the canoe, temporarily set aside the April meeting of the International Union of Materials Research Societies, and got up and washed his face in the bathroom.

It's getting late.

He'll have to go to the launch center later.

If colonial Mars corresponds to "deep hell," then "hell treasure hunt" is obviously implying him that the gift from the void should be on Mars?

Or at least there's a clue.

Thinking about previous conversations with that “observer," the ark is even more certain of this speculation that something should have been placed on Mars. The only thing that worries him is that his "reptile” ATV has been on Mars for almost two years, and after such a long time, no clue has been found.

This leads him to wonder whether the gift from the void is still there.

After all, billions of years have allowed the hot planet Earth's nucleus to cool down, giving birth to a chaotic atmosphere. On such a long scale, there are too many things that could happen...

……

Jinling Space Launch Center.

Wang Peng drove himself downstairs to the command tower, and the ark headed straight to the lobby of the ground command center.

By the time he arrived here, work had begun today.

Looking at Changhe Zhi, who came to himself, the ark asked.

“How's it going at the Mars Science Station? ”

“Everything is fine, and according to the work schedule submitted by Captain Liang, their work today is mainly to lay solar panels. ”

The Ark nodded, and just as he was about to ask if there was anything unusual, the Standing Director suddenly spoke voluntarily.

“By the way, there's just one thing I need to report to you. ”

“What is it? ”

“Dr Fanton of Mars Science Station, while drilling core samples from water sources, found a very unusual fracture structure near the basin 4.5 km from Mars Science Station. Based on speculation, this fracture structure may have been formed by an earthquake. ”

“Earthquake?” The expression looked strangely at the permanent director and the ark frowned, “I think the geological activity on Mars has been suspended. ”

“Nor am I particularly clear," said director Hua Zhi, shaking his head, some brainbroken, "in short, according to him, the research significance of this fracture structure is so great that it could even subvert the perception inherent in academia of Mars geological formation research. He therefore made an application to go on and look. ”

Ark: “Is the fracture very deep? ”

Chang and Zhi shook his head: “It doesn't seem to be very deep, according to the logbook records, it's only about a dozen meters. ”

A dozen meters deep is already a dangerous depth on Earth.

But for Mars, it's not about how dangerous it is.

“Then let him go down and take a look… By the way, tell Captain Leung that unless they intend to go on an expedition in the crater or carry out other high-risk scientific activities in the future, they don't have to ask for special instructions. I remember I should have given him command of the scene before I left, and there were some things he could decide for himself and update the log as needed. ”

The permanent director looked down seriously.

“Okay, I'll talk to him right away. ”

The ark nodded.

“Let's do this for now. ”

……

Tens of millions of kilometres away from Mars.

Rolling dust was lifted by the wheels, and a Mars car with tires alone as high as the shoulders of adults was marching on this endless sea of sand.

Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Ming Wenche, wearing an out-of-board suit, looked at the onboard positioning system screen, and the nearer green dot, and asked.

“Are you sure it was an earthquake crack? ”

Fan, sitting in the driver's seat, pointed down and said in a positive tone.

“I can guarantee my academic reputation. ”

“I'm not questioning you... I mean, would you be mistaken? The data on the thermal radiation images clearly show that Mars' geological activity has been suspended, and even with seismic configurations, it is unlikely to be exposed to the surface? ”

Although he specializes in bioengineering, that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about geology. In fact, the people who can be assigned here are mostly all-powerful.

Knowledge of this non-professional field, though not very professional, he knows something.

Fan Tong: “I'm not less surprised than you, but I'm sure my judgment is correct. As for why, we'll find out when we get there. See that ridge up there? Right at the foot of the mountain in front...”

After a pause, he corrected his statement.

“We're here! ”

Near the edge of the ridge, Fantong got out of the car with Ming Wenchel in the co-pilot's seat, removed the safety rope from the trunk, and then hooked the metal lock to the waist of his suit.

“There are red iron ore everywhere, I don't know what the signal's like down there,” he looked around, and the doctor of planetary geology looked at his teammates and continued, “If I hit the light up later, you pull me up. ”

Ming Wenche nodded.

“Okay.”

After discussing the plan, Fan Tong followed his memory to yesterday's position.

Something unexpected happened.

He stopped by the ridge, and the whole person beamed there and looked like a ghost.

Through a transparent mask, he read the surprise expression on his face, and Ming Wenche looked around at the rough pavement and asked in an uncertain tone.

“What about the fracture structure? ”

“Damn...”

He mumbled, Fan Tong did not answer, but the whole person quickly took two steps forward, crazily lying on the ground grasping. But no matter how he searched, he found nothing but sand all over his suit.

That scar has the same fracture structure...

It's like disappearing empty-handed.

“Is that a mistake? ”

Had it not been for the sparse atmosphere on Mars, he would have asked if it was a mirage.

Fan Tong shook his head firmly to his teammates' doubts, stared dead at the flat ground in front of him and said with an incredible mouth kiss.

“Impossible! There's no mistake in the decision! I took pictures and uploaded them to my work log! ”

I've seen that photo before, and Ming Wenche's face couldn't help but show hesitation.

“Is it possible… that it was in the wrong place? ”

Fan Tong continued to shake his head.

“Unless Xu Fu's location system breaks with my brain. ”

When I heard that, the expression on Ming Wenche's face appeared a little strange.

Fracture construction more than ten meters deep...

If there was a sandstorm, it wouldn't take ten days and a half months to erase the traces, would it?

Besides, it's only been a day.

This is too evil...
