"... After Tianwen 1 received the latest mysterious signal, it immediately analyzed the latest signal launch location based on the information shared by other space centers and using data models..."

"...It quickly delineated the most likely signal location, then adjusted its orbit autonomously and searched for possible locations. After 1 minute and 27 seconds, the optical equipment of Tianwen No.1 captured a reflective object..."

"...Look here, this is the first photo that entered the lens, but in this photo you can't see anything, only one spot can be seen. After Tianwen No.1 adjusted the camera angle and focal length, finally took the first This is the photo available, number 000017..."

In a secret meeting room of the Tianxia Space Agency, a technician pointed to the photos on the big screen to tell the big guys about the major incident that happened just now.

As we were talking, there was data coming again. He took a quick look and put a newest picture on the big screen.

"Dear supervisors and chief engineers, the latest information is here. Tianwen No.1 updated the photo library. The data center processed it just now, and we got a clearer picture. Please see..."

On the big screen is a processed photo. The detector inside looks very much like the design style of an earth probe, but by now, everyone here knows that this was not launched by any country on the earth.

And it's just similar to the design style of the Earth Probe. If you look closely, there are still many differences.

"It's so beautiful, with the design style of modern technology products."

"In this way, it looks like the design style of human technology products, but other countries have not launched additional Mars probes. It seems that they are really alien equipment."

"Alien equipment is so similar to human equipment, how do you say this?"

"This is probably the same effect of technology in different ways. For example, the square wafers of solar panels are simple, easy to process, and easy to arrange. It is unreasonable for aliens to make them into an'S' shape, not to mention processing and cost issues. They are not easy to arrange, which not only wastes the area of ​​solar panels, but also affects the efficiency of energy conversion."

"In fact, this is not absolute. In case the aliens have any special aesthetics, it is possible for them to make the solar panel chips into an'S' shape."

"Haha, that's what I said, in fact, the design of many sci-fi movies of aliens and alien technology products is not entirely artistic design. The crew will invite many professionals in biology and industry."

"The picture is not clear enough. We see a little bit less. If the picture can be clearer..."

Indeed, the current picture is not clear enough, but it does not matter, Tianwen No.1 is already approaching it.

It will not take long for Tianwen No. 1 to "stick to the face" of the mysterious detector.

Of course, the "sticking face" has quotation marks because it is impossible to stick the face. If it is true, Tianwen No.1 will not be able to take any clear pictures.

After all, the high-resolution and medium-resolution cameras it carries on it are used to photograph the Martian ground hundreds of kilometers away. It is really embarrassing to let it stick to the face to photograph another probe.

When it comes to sticking faces, the configuration of the Mars rover is similar. Its terrain camera and multi-spectral camera are specially used for close-up shooting.

But it’s good to be able to take pictures. Compared to other countries, Tianxia is definitely the first to find this mysterious detector.

Moreover, Tianwen No. 1 is still "instructed" to change its orbit, even if it is fully powered on and accelerates out of the orbit of Mars in the next moment, no one will doubt its motive for changing its orbit.

"She must have gone looking for a mysterious detector, Tianxia's contribution is really great!"

But if the detectors of other countries suddenly change their orbits, other countries may send inquiries.

[Why did you suddenly change the orbit of the probe?

[Did you discover the mysterious detector yourself and want to swallow it alone?

[Do you not plan to report?

[You evil country!

However, this situation does not exist in Tianxia, ​​because Tianxia contributed Tianwen-1 to search for mysterious detectors. Frequent orbit changes are necessary.

Regardless of the short period of time less than one month, because of frequent orbit changes, the fuel consumption of the Tianwen-1 orbiter is very fast, and it is almost bottoming out.

You must know that if there is no accident, a Mars orbiter can work in orbit for several years, ten years, or even longer.

And in these "years" as the unit of time, the scientific value of a probe is immeasurable, perhaps only a day away, it can find water and traces of life on Mars.

It's not impossible to even find Martians directly, ah.

But because of the task, a new detector was artificially scrapped after using it for one month. That loss... Tsk.

How about saying "Tianxia's contribution is really big".

At the same time, it will also make other countries have a natural sense of loss against the Tianxia at this time.

This is also a result that Tianxia wants, and it is very important for the current Tianxia.

If you want to break through the current unfavorable international environment, you must work on other aspects.

After all, the interests between nations are much stronger than those between people. Paying must be rewarded, even if this kind of reward is not the kind of "boom".

When everyone in the conference room was having a meeting to discuss whether to upload information truthfully in the evening, a staff member suddenly broke in.

"Sorry, a big event has happened because time is too urgent to make a mission report. Just now, Meriken's MAVEN Mars rover lost contact."

When this word came out, everyone present was shocked.

In fact, there are many cases of signal loss. Just like the previous speculation by the Meriken Space Agency, there are various natural conditions and the detector itself.

There is no way, I can only pray for the detector to survive.

If it is lost and there is no way to recover, then it can only be regretted.

But the situation is different now. A mysterious probe appears in the orbit of Mars, which is an unexpected factor.

And they just got the image of the mysterious detector, after analysis, the probability of being an alien detector is very high.

At this time, one of Merrican's detectors was out of touch, and it was difficult for people not to imagine other aspects.

By the way, they captured the mysterious image of the detector at this time, and Meriken’s detector was also lost at about the same time. Is there any connection here?

But there is another important thing, that is, how serious is this "lost connection"?

If it is only a mechanical failure, then it is the sole loss of Meriken.

If it was hit by a micrometeorite-like object and the equipment was damaged, the result is similar to the previous one.

But if it is crushed by a meteorite or something launched by some equipment, and a large amount of debris is generated, then other Mars orbiters may be dangerous.

Therefore, the space agency must figure out what the status of the missing Mars rover is. If it is in danger, its own orbiter must quickly evade it.

Even though Tianwen-1 has very little fuel left, Tianxia Space Agency still wants it to stay in orbit for a while, let alone that it has just discovered the "New World". It has important missions and there should be no mistakes. .

Yes, if a lot of fragments are really produced, the alien probe is also very dangerous. If it is smashed into fragments like this, it will be a huge loss for the entire human civilization.

"It's not good. The missing probe of Merrican was definitely destroyed. It produced a lot of debris in orbit..."

Gan, what is really afraid of!
