Super technology leader
Chapter 270
The communication delay is really difficult to handle, the earth is too far away from Mars.
As far as the distance between the ground and the fire is now, even if the light travels one way, it takes ten minutes, and one round trip takes twenty minutes.
This is only the pure speed of light. The signals converted by various devices will be delayed more, so the communication delay time will be longer.
And there is no way, because it involves physical rules.
The hot "quantum communication", in fact, can only realize "quantum encrypted communication", so that communication information cannot be deciphered, and the "over-distance communication" mode in sci-fi works still only exists in sci-fi works.
As for whether it can become a reality in the future, that's hard to say, but there is no door now or in the near future.
It can't be solved now, and the people in the UN General Assembly will not waste time, let go first, and solve other things first.
After all, time is tight now, unlike other meetings in normal times, those meetings should be postponed if they should be delayed. This kind of "no way" thing has been determined to be impossible, then other things must be guaranteed to be okay.
In addition to the communication delay problem that cannot be solved temporarily, the preparations made by the navigator are also very comprehensive, and the rest is the state of aliens.
The latest information on Mars available to the general public will not be updated for the time being, but in countries with Mars probes, especially in countries with orbiting probes, the information is updated in real time.
The United Nations has signed an information sharing agreement, so the information is also updated in real time. In addition, there are several countries with orbiting probes, all of which observe aliens from the orbit of Mars. The things they see are basically the same. There is a question of concealment or not.
The most important thing is that the resolution of pictures taken by various countries is not good. Equipment with too high orbit can't even see the alien spacecraft. Even if it descends to low orbit, only the fuzzy outline of the spacecraft can be seen, and then zoom in to a full-screen mosaic. The little alien who caused the activity couldn't see clearly.
Therefore, in the real-time updated information, it is basically a vague report.
"At a certain time, the alien spacecraft did not move."
"One day, at a certain time, the reflective area near the alien spacecraft increased significantly. It is suspected that the aliens built some kind of facility with spacecraft parts."
"One day and at a certain time, the reflective area of the aliens' residences increased again. It is suspected that the aliens are transforming the spacecraft. The most likely thing is to transform the spacecraft into a ground dwelling facility."
This information, let alone figure out what the aliens are doing, even caused panic among the representatives of certain countries.
What if the alien fixes the spaceship?
What if the aliens are building weapons facilities?
What if the aliens are building a huge information transmission array and summoning the alien fleet?
All kinds of "what if" and "what to do" are intertwined in the brains of representatives of countries, making some representatives of countries a little nervous.
Today, Navigator’s “unmanned spacecraft” entered the orbit of Mars. A few hours later, the United Nations got the first clear picture of the alien’s station.
Although not as clear as the last remaining video of the Mars rover hijacked by Meriken, at least it has reached the level of a "satellite map" on the earth. This time, you can see the top view of the alien spacecraft and a larger range of outer space. The starships spread out.
After all, this alien spacecraft fell, and it didn't land there safely, so there were large fragments scattered behind it, which were not shown in the previous pictures.
With these new data, combined with the "legacy" of the Meriken rover, scientists can analyze more information.
"They are indeed trying to repair their spacecraft. Look here. This is the parts pile they cleaned from the spacecraft. According to the previous fuzzy image analysis, the parts pile has been reduced. It must be that some of the relatively intact parts have been Loaded it back."
"On the other side, these should be two inflatable pressurized cabins. They need to survive inside, indicating that their spacecraft should be damaged to a large extent, and the pressurized space cannot even be guaranteed."
"What is here? It looks like a shed built with spacecraft fragments. I don't know if it is airtight, and the Mars rover of Meriken has not been found. Could it be that it is hidden under this shed?"
"I haven't seen weapons-like equipment for the time being. Of course, I just haven't seen large ones. I don't know if they will carry small hand-held weapons. If that's the case, Pilot's helicopters are just as dangerous."
"It’s hard to say now, and the other party’s weapons are not necessarily our commonly used weapons. If the other party uses laser weapons, the other party can fly to the solar system. At least it proves that some aspects of technology are more advanced than ours. Now some countries have begun to equip them. There are laser weapons. On this alien spacecraft... it's hard to say that there are none."
"I feel……"
After analysis, there may be more unexpected situations than imagined.
There is no way, the level of human science and technology is like this, even if the level of human science and technology is higher, assuming someone is stationed on Mars, they will have a way to minimize the risk of negotiations.
At the very least, there will be fewer unexpected situations due to communication delays.
As long as the front-line personnel are given sufficient authority and then set a few conditions, they will ensure that they can complete the task well.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Now even the strongest Interstellar Navigator company can't send people to Mars right away.
It's just that there is still a big question mark whether it can succeed this time.
Seeing that all countries are pointing to the pilot's equipment to do things, seeing that the pilot is almost becoming the real pilot, Meriken can't sit still.
So they had to put it down and talked to Tang Chao privately.
After some time, everyone didn't know what happened during their meeting, only that Tang Chao suddenly changed his mind.
"In view of the strict requirements of this contact mission and the great responsibility, StarNavigator is just a private company and can't really bear this responsibility. Therefore, after a meeting, our company decided to hand over control of the mission and transfer control to Meriken, Meriken is solely responsible for this contact mission..."
The representatives of various countries at the conference were shocked, especially the representatives of Tian Xia. The hands holding the tea mug suddenly trembled, looking at Tang Chao inconceivably.
Then he suddenly looked at the representative Mei Rui was looking at and found that the other party had become an old god.
Holding his arms calmly and calmly, he should have known in advance, and even glanced at him, that attitude was extremely provocative.
However, the representative of Tianxia knew that Navigator would not give up its leadership for no reason, so it must have been a price paid by Meriken, a huge price that Navigator could not refuse.
But he also knows that Meriken has never let go of the public relations and temptation of StarPilot. It has never been accepted by StarPilot before. Why is it suddenly accepted now?
Especially at this critical moment.
How critical is it?
According to time calculations, although the live broadcast on the Earth side shows that it is still flying, the helicopter on Mars has landed and has been trimmed for more than ten minutes. It will take off again in ten minutes, and then it will arrive in five minutes by flying. Alien station.
The initial greeting is set, and is asked as soon as it passes.
After all, the delay is too great. If the helicopter flies overhead for tens of minutes and then does nothing, they will have to kill you.
So at this critical time, when the leadership is handed over, what calculations did the leader company make?
