Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“Disappeared? ”

Jinling Space Launch Center.

When the Ark heard about the seismic construction, it was surprised that it almost didn't stand behind the desk.

With a strange look on the face of the ark, he often looked at Director Zhi in a strange place.

“Yes… according to our updated mission log for the Mars Science Examination Station, our scientists dispatched Mars cars to the target area, but when they arrived at the fracture structure, they found nothing there. ”

“It's like... disappeared overnight. ”

More than a dozen meters deep, the fracture structure disappears overnight?

The Ark has never heard anything so frightening.

“Was there a dust storm that night? ”

“There are sandstorms all the time on Mars, but even sandstorms can't bury a dozen meters deep fracture structures overnight… that's what Dr. Van recorded in his log. ”

The ark said openly.

“Just tell me what else he said. ”

Changhe Zhi shook his head and said, "Nothing more, that's all he said about the fracture structure. In addition, it is an application to publish a thesis. He hoped that this astonishing geological discovery would be made public so that more people could analyse the phenomenon. ”

The funding for scientific research on the ignition plan comes mainly from the People's Republic of China. For the results of all scientific research activities on Mars, nominally they belong to the collectivity of the Office of the Manned Fire Scheme. Therefore, in order to publish the results of scientific research, it is necessary to apply to the Office of the Manned Fire Scheme and obtain approval.

Generally, however, such research projects, which do not involve sensitive experimental content, are merely a form of walking. The MARPOL certainly hopes that they will be able to do more valuable work so that their investment in the Mars project will be worthwhile.

After a moment of reflection, the ark nodded.

“Just do as he says. ”

While the Ark felt that publishing the discovery now was somewhat too hasty and might appear more rigorous once more clues had been obtained, Dr. van's proposal also made some sense.

After all, a person's power is small, and a brain can't come up with a solution that's as reliable as tens of millions of heads together. Only if more people are involved in this area will it be possible to solve the problem.

Looking at the log in his hand, his gaze stood at the coordinates of 14.7 ° south and 128 ° west, and his index finger gently swept down on the line.

“By the way, what's the name of the mountain range next to this fracture structure? ”

Director Changhe Chi: “If I recall correctly, according to the name of the International Astronomical Federation… its name seems to originate from a work of art. ”

“Artwork?”

“TheGatesofHell, authored by Auguste Rodin…" Todd and Director Zhi pondered for a moment and went on to say, “Translate here and call Hell's Gate. ”

Gate of Hell…

That's a bit of a bad name.

Chewing the word repeatedly, that ominous hunch came to the bottom of the ark again.

“The name is not very auspicious,” took the pen from the table, wrote a line next to the copy of the work log, and the ark handed it to Changhe Zhi, “and then changed the name in the work log. ”

“128 anomalies? ”

“Well," said Changhe Zhi, succinctly continuing, "raise the priority of the research project to level A and report back to me if anything new comes up. ”

……

NASA suspended more than 90 per cent of its Mars projects after the failure of the last New Virginia program under pressure from public opinion and funding.

But while the launch program left NASA with chicken fur, which hasn't even slowed down yet, it doesn't mean they're so willing to give up their desire for Mars.

But it all came back to reason.

NASA High Resolution Imaging Science Laboratory.

This is the command center for the Mars Survey Orbiter and Curiosity, and currently the only research team in the entire NASA that still focuses on Mars.

“The latest research materials. ”

Dropping a document on the desk, Professor Astak looked at the middle-aged man with glasses sitting behind the desk and continued, “I don't know if you've seen it, but I suggest you take a look. ”

“Latest research? ”

Whispering the phrase in his mouth, Professor Camilton reached up and picked up the document, sweeping it roughly.

It doesn't matter, however, when he looks down at two lines along this information, especially after seeing the color photographs attached to the body, the whole person's expression suddenly becomes weird.

“Earthquake construction… disappears after it appears? How is that possible? ”

“I also find it very... incredible,” said Professor Kermiton, Professor Astak, “but planetary geology is not my research direction, and I want to know what you think about it. ”

“What do I think? What else can I say, they're the only ones there, and it's up to them... if they're right, then we're wrong. Mars' geological activity is still quite active, and the Earth's core has not cooled? This seems to be the only explanation, and there may be a special local tectonic movement where the fractured structures that have been formed heal overnight? Hiss... this sounds like a psychotic event. ”

I pushed the glasses on the nose beam, and Professor Camilton, sitting upright from his chair, locked his eyebrows and continued, “Honestly... aren't these two contrasts really P's? ”

Mars' geological activity has ceased, not as a hypothetical phrase, but as a result of rigorous scientific analysis based on thermal radiation images taken by NASA.

Everything points to the complete cessation of geological activity on Mars and the complete cooling of the magma of the Earth's core.

This is a dead planet, and it's impossible to have any plate motion, let alone any earthquake or crack caused by an earthquake.

It is unlikely, at least in recent billions of years.

He did not gauge the heart of a gentleman with one's own measure.

It's just the manipulation of P charts, data compilation, etc. to forge research results, which is really not a rare thing in academia.

“I have consulted a third-party testing agency to analyze it, at least based on the electronic files they have updated on the official website, and there are no obvious signs of modification on the photographs… of course, it is not excluded that their methods are so smart that we do not see them. ”

“In any case, this is incredible," put the research material on the table, Professor Camilton sighed after a long time of reflection, "I wish I could go to the scene and take a look. ”

Professor Astak had a bitter smile on his face.

Check it out on Mars...

This idea sounds a little strange.

But it also has to be said that this seems to be the best way to do it than to stand tens of millions of kilometres off the planet.

However, just as the two of them were looking at the data headache, a sentence suddenly came through the door.

“It's not necessarily possible. ”

When they heard the sound coming from the door, they brushed their heads up and looked at the door.

Director Carson was just standing there and walking into the office.

“Sorry, I'm definitely eavesdropping on your conversation, it's just that your voice is too loud, and I happened to be here looking for Professor Camilton for something...”

Faced with the sight of the two questioners, Director Carson shrugged his shoulders, coughed softly and continued, "For well-known reasons, the White House intends to restore relations with China, and according to what I have learned, the two sides have reached an agreement on many aspects, including historical legacies… Of course, these matters do not require our concern, and the key thing is that the Chinese side agrees to reserve approximately one or two international scientific researchers for us among the next group of people travelling to Mars. ”

Professor Astak stood still and hesitated.

“So... can we take a Chinese ride to Mars? ”

“That's okay, but I would prefer you to understand it as a kind of cooperation at the scientific level and one that benefits both sides...”

He coughed heavily, forcibly ending the topic with Director Carson, and his expression seriously continued to look at Professor Camilton, who was so desperate.

“Exactly what I just heard, you seem very interested in geological research on Mars? ”

“That's right...”

Looking at Professor Kermiton, who was gradually showing hesitation, Carson did not give him much time to think about it, and then he opened his mouth and threw his proposal.

“Then Professor Kermiton. ”

“Would you like to go to Mars for a lasting friendship between the two countries? ”
