Chapter 787: Give up rescue

After a long signal transmission, NASA headquarters finally got several black-and-white images transmitted by Mars, the only working satellite "discoverer" on Mars.
The content of the image is very clear. In the first picture, Adam landed a violent collision with the mountain when it landed. This collision caused damage to the landing capsule connection and caused the resource capsule to fall off.
In the second picture, there is a white light deep in the valley. After technical analysis, this is likely to be the situation when the resource capsule exploded after falling from a high place. There is liquid oxygen in the resource tank, and a severe collision with the ground after falling is likely to cause an explosion.
"It's over!" Jim's face was white and his whole body was shaking.
The control room at NASA headquarters was dead and no one spoke.
The video sent by Chiesa hopes that NASA can mobilize the Finder satellite and search for the whereabouts of the resource capsule. It now seems that the resource capsule has crashed and the entire capsule and food are destroyed.
The landing module has an oxygen generating and circulating device, so there is no need to worry about oxygen. There are some foods that can last for two months while saving money. Within two months, NASA had to find a way to rescue Chiesa and Bradford, but even two months were too late.
"Head, CNN would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you, and would like to know why we haven't released photos of landing on Mars."
The staff member is clearly not aware of the latest situation.
Jim squeezed his temples with his hand and said, "It is forbidden to release any information to the public."
Jim then got up and started a contingency plan.
The emergency plan of the NASA Mars plan is quite cruel. If the resource capsule falls off, NASA headquarters will change the daily food and water supply plan in accordance with the actual situation of the landing capsule. If the resource capsule cannot be found, Chiesa and Bradford will continue to carry out Mars exploration experiments with limited food and time, and complete as many experiments as possible before the food is exhausted.
So what happens when food runs out?
Everyone can already guess the ending.
This is the worst case and the worst case.
The Discoverer satellite was urgently called to detect the whereabouts of the resource capsule, with no results after three days.
Three days later, Chiesa and Bradford also sat in the landing module with exhaustion, feeling despair and weakness.
They also received information from NASA with detailed requirements for daily recipes and experiments.
Chiesa knows that this is NASA's emergency plan. When it came out, it also meant that NASA had given up searching for a resource capsule, meaning that two people would die here.
Bradward said angrily: "So we were given up by NASA? We just gave up?"
Bradford is still young and unmarried and has no children. Before he came to Mars, everyone said he was a hero. Now that the two have encountered a crisis on Mars, NASA headquarters chose to give up the rescue, let the two play their final role, and conduct some experiments with the rest of their lives.
Chiesa had experienced life and death on the battlefield, and he knew that it was not NASA who could not save the dead but could not rescue it.
With such a long distance between Earth and Mars, even NASA's launch of rockets carrying resources is too late.
Chiesa even thought about the most extreme situation. He and Bradva lived only one, so the food can last for four months, and four months is not enough to wait for the resource spacecraft of the country to arrive here.
"Man, to understand the situation, it is not that NASA is unwilling to come to save us, but it is so far away that it is too late. The most recent window of landing on Mars has passed, and now even the most advanced rockets and probes of the United States land on Mars It will take more than seven months, seven months. We have long been ... "
Chiesa said: "Let's complete some tasks at the last time according to NASA's mission guide. Anyway, we are the first humans to land on Mars, and our names will be engraved in human history."
Obviously, Bradworth couldn't accept this reality. He smashed the hatch door hard and said desperately: "No, no, no! This is not the result I hope! No! There must be another way! NASA must have a backup plan! "
"Be awake, man! There is no alternative!"
...
Jiangcheng, Pangu Technology Headquarters.
Xiao Ming continued to pay attention to the situation of Mi Lander landing on Mars, this is the fourth day of landing on Mars.
NASA's official report on the landing news is still the moment when it successfully landed four days ago. So far, there has been no more news of landing on Mars, nor has it released any photos of the landing site or scientific research.
It doesn't take that long to process photos.
Xiao Ming speculated that something was wrong with the Martian plan in the country.
Sure enough, Super Junior collected the internal information of NASA through unconventional means-the Adam's resource module crashed and landed during the landing and separated and fell. It is currently unknown.
Xiao Ming said: "The Mi people are in trouble."
"Hey!" Xu Limin also said with great regret: "Mi people should choose a more cautious way to land on Mars, eager to land on Mars, there will be risks, and they choose to take risks and bear the current risks."
Rice, Washington, NASA Headquarters.
The situation of Mars can no longer be concealed, and no picture of Mars has been released four days after landing, which is no longer justified.
Jim held a press conference at NASA headquarters to explain the actual situation of the Adam, and I hope everyone can prepare in advance.
Reporters do not yet know the actual situation of the Adam, and are looking forward to expecting that NASA will release live photos or videos of Adam's successful landing on Mars.
All journalists are excited.
"Should be publishing photos!"
"For so many days, I look forward to it every day, hoping to see the hero's posture."
"What would it be like for humans to stand on Mars? It must be desolate."
The camera is facing the stage, and everyone is waiting for this exciting moment.
Jim and NASA executives stood on the podium.
At this time, the reporters felt that the atmosphere was not right. Because the successful landing on Mars is exciting, why Jim and a lot of high-level faces are so ugly, like a funeral.
Adam's live situation appeared on the large screen behind the podium, which was filmed by Chiesa facing the Adam.
Adam is located in the valley of the Martian Eden area at an inclined angle of about 15 degrees, surrounded by high mountains, and the weather in the distance is orange and desolate.
The reporters on the scene still cheered. They did not see the problem in the photos. They cheered the first photo of Adam on Mars.
But experts in the field aerospace industry have seen something different.
The Adam is sloping, which does not fit the setting.
On the back of the Adam, the outer shell of the titanium alloy is somewhat sunken, which is only produced after being hit.
Jim said solemnly into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, reporter friends, good morning everyone."
be quiet.
Jim: "Adam arrived on Mars four days ago and landed in the canyon area named Eden. As you can see."
Cheering at the scene.
Jim: "But unfortunately I tell you that during the landing process, Adam was deviated from the scheduled landing due to the impact of the Martian storm. This position is set from the set landing location, which is the plain of the Mars Rover Sight. Area is about 300 kilometers. "
Cheers ceased, and the crowds became quiet.
Jim said, "This is not the worst case, everyone can watch the big screen."
The picture on the big screen is enlarged, and the recess behind the Adam is enlarged.
Jim said: "According to the data collected by the Discovery satellite, Adam encountered some problems during the landing process. It collided with the mountain peak. This impact caused the resource capsule to fall off and may have crashed."
Jim: "Fortunately, our landing module has not suffered any damage, and the astronauts have survived. Unfortunately, the resource module of Adam cannot be found. At present, the landing module can provide our astronauts with sufficient oxygen, but only less than Food for two months. "
Jim looked at the quiet reporter downstage and said very sadly: "There are only two months of food, and it takes six to seven months from Earth to release rescue supplies to Mars. We don't have enough time to rescue them. Mars cannot Sowing any food ... they can only last for two months at most. "
"I'm very sorry to tell you this. NASA decided to adopt an emergency plan after obtaining the consent of Chiesa and Bradford. This is our plan B. In the last two months, the two astronauts will use The only food and the only time left ~ EbookFREE.me ~ complete a series of Mars experiments, and finally they will sleep on Mars ... "
Talking about it, Jim was still very sad. He took a deep breath and said, "They are heroes, and may God bless them."
The reporters in the audience fry the pan as soon as they talk about it, they will never think that landing on Mars will end in this way.
"Mission failed?"
"Can we not go astronauts back?"
"It's too late, and it's too late to go back and forth. If it takes three months to go back and forth at the same time, it's too late, and depending on Adam's situation, it should not be able to take off."
In the next two months, reporters will watch astronauts die on Mars for lack of food. The cruelest is that in the two months before death, they will still complete some Mars surveys and experiments at all costs. task.
Jim on the stage regretted it very much. If he had initially agreed to Pangu Technology's request and brought the small miniature of Pangu Technology to Mars together, perhaps two astronauts and their family could have video, but now they can only leave messages and talk.
