Chapter 246 There is a ghost!

The detector fragment was found by a Europa detector.

As long as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has probes on Mars, there are maps showing the orbits of Mars probes in other countries. This is for the safety of all Mars orbiters.

After all, if you don’t know the operating routes of the orbiters of other countries, in the event of a collision, the chances of all the detectors going out will increase dramatically.

So when the Mars rover of Meriken lost contact, other countries knew about it at the same time, but they were not Meriken after all, so there was a lot of emotional gap.

That is to say, the situation this time is quite special. It is also a mysterious detector, and it is also afraid of affecting its own detector, so several other companies have also paid attention to this matter.

Fortunately, national detectors have accurate coordinates, which are not the same as mysterious detectors. So as long as you calculate based on the previous coordinates and orbit, and then add the time of loss of connection, it is easy to find the location of the missing detector.

At that time, the position of the Europa probe was relatively good, so the debris cloud was found first, and then a few other National Aeronautics and Space Administrations with Mars orbiting probes were notified.

Knowing the location, soon the debris dispersion range and possible orbital range was calculated, and the Mars orbital probes of various countries also carried out emergency avoidance.

However, the sudden loss of the Meriken probe meant that not only Meriken and Tianxia, ​​who had just learned more about it, would think in the direction of aliens, but several other countries would also think in the direction of aliens.

There was even a joint web conference immediately.

This shows the gap between countries on the earth.

Such a major event happened in the orbit of Mars. Most countries on the earth don’t know at all. Only a few countries that have probes in the orbit of Mars know about it. Don’t blame several countries for discussing things or even making decisions. they.

Because this is not a piece of play at all.

Countries that have no "power" in space don't even know the news. After an accident, they must only choose ground interests, or most of the time they only choose ground interests instead of space interests.

If a certain resolution is voted according to the one-country one-vote rule, the very few countries with "space power" will definitely not be happy.

Fortunately, countries with space power are basically in the Wuchang, and they have a veto.

Some things are not so simple to talk about, but to go to countries that have never been to space, and look at the same thing from a different perspective.

So some things really don’t mean that more people means right, and fewer people means wrong.

Of course, the reverse is also true, because the "right or wrong" matter is really hard to say, so many times people can only make corresponding judgments from their own standpoint.

Even when the space agencies of Tianxia, ​​Europa, Meriken, Petroleum Alliance, and Peacock Nation held a joint network meeting, Tianxia and Meriken had their own small actions, which the other three organizations did not know.

Oh, yes, there is another one, Tang Chao.

He is not from the official space agency, and the actual jurisdiction of the navigator is not as large as that of the official space agency, so this kind of confidential matter will definitely not take him at the beginning.

It depends on the situation later.

But this time I don't need to carry it officially, he himself is a participant in this matter.

The official mysterious detector, the No. 34 detector he knew, the latest news was also sent to him.

Although he had previously given the order to keep the No. 34 probe silent, as the tattered little spacecraft got very close, it sent the message very smoothly.

After all, when in Kanxing, the small spacecraft also had the control of the detector, and the authority was very high.

The permissions were the same, and naturally they were evened. The small probe spacecraft sent a signal when it approached. It was still a simple plain code signal, so Tang Chao also received a copy.

It was also this information that let Tang Chao know that the small spacecraft that entered the wormhole and lost contact had arrived.

Looking at the information listed on the screen, Tang Chao touched his chin and said, "It is also the orbit of Mars. Is the wormhole really in the orbit of Mars? Or is it nearby?"

"That's weird. If that's the case, why isn't the orbit of Mars affected? With a wormhole on the side, it's impossible to run so smoothly, right?"

"I don't understand."

"Moreover, detector No. 34 only sent out a signal, but did not receive a signal. In other words, the small probe ship is silent. Why is it silent? Is it because the antenna is broken?"

"It's possible. After all, some of the equipment was damaged when the No. 34 probe traveled through the wormhole. It is normal for the small spacecraft to experience equipment damage."

"Troublesome, it's also because I don't have a probe in the orbit of Mars. If I have a probe in the orbit of Mars, or the unmanned spacecraft has arrived, the situation will definitely be much better."

"It seems that more probes will be launched into the solar system in the future, even if it is of no use for the time being, an additional source of information is good..."

One of his thoughts was that Navigator would have to do a lot of work again.

But having no information source is indeed a very troublesome thing, so this must be done.

"By the way, I have to go to Kanxing and tell Warner about it."

When Tang Chao left the studio to go to Kan Xing, a new situation emerged on Meriken's side.

The Curiosity rover took a new set of pictures.

A plume of smoke on Mars!

Either a desert tornado from Mars or a real plume of smoke.

"Is this a fire from aliens?"

"Maybe it's the smoke from the fireplace!"

"What are you thinking about? It must be an alien, an alien, maybe a Martian!"

"Wait, do you think it is related to the missing detector? Could it be the debris dropped by the detector?"

"Do the math, what about the orbit? Give me the previous orbit data?"

"The data is here, here... the result, the result, the result, aha, it came out, 87% chance!"

"It's really possible, hey, it's not an alien. What a pity."

"That's not necessarily true. What if the alien probe collided with the MAVEN Mars probe? We haven't found the alien probe until now, so there is a chance."

"Yes, there is such a chance."

"So, shall we let Curiosity go over and take a look?"

"It's too far, and it has to climb a hill. The Curiosity is too dangerous to climb the hill. If it doesn't climb the hill, it will have to go further, and it will take at least three months."

"There's another information coming. It's a photo... Wait, what's on it, yes, yes, yes, it turned out to be..."

"Oh my god!"

"It turned out to be four people in spacesuits, aliens! Absolutely aliens!"

Seeing this picture, little Armstrong, who had been observing the situation in the corner, suddenly beamed his eyes.

"This is it! This is it! My chance is here!"
