Chapter 574: : Memories of Duncan Jones

Mars high-altitude orbit, before the forward team set off.
The second batch of teams arrived in Mars orbit four days ago. The current situation is that the four artificial celestial bodies of "Firefly", "Mars Express", "Noah" and "Noah 2" are connected together. The tonnage is comparable to the "Tiangong Ring Star Harbor" only in terms of volume.
Before the end of the cooperation between the two sides, all American actions on Mars must be under the command of the Chinese. In other words, on Mars, Commander Li Xingfeng is the boss, and the people here are under his control, including the American astronauts. As long as the cooperation is not over, you must obey the orders.
The price paid by cmsx to formulate the "Martian Rescue" plan is not small. If the investment is converted into money equivalent to more than 70 billion yuan, the weapons of the armed tactical team will all be completed by cmsx magic reform, the American "Noah 2" "It can be sent to space in about three months. It is impossible to send it to space in such a short period of time even with the ability of Nasa alone.
In addition to other miscellaneous materials to help Americans send astronauts into space, help Americans send "Noah 2" to Mars, etc., Nasa invested more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, and cmsx also exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars.
Ren Hong originally wanted Nasa to spend more money to pay for the bill. However, the enemy of his partner "enemy is on Capitol Hill." The old American gang of "Parliament Masters" could not withstand the pressure of local public opinion, and they reluctantly gave Nasa funds again. 160 billion, and the remaining 5 billion US dollars were raised by spacex and alphabet.
Some netizens on the Internet described it interestingly. In the eyes of Matrix Technology, the whole world is poor. Facebook is considered a rich man. Other top ten market capitalization companies, including Alphabet, are at most rich, and everyone else is poor.
The gap.
Fooling people also has a price. Charles Boll looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. After a long time, he managed to win a $10.7 billion grant from Matrix Technology.
In the face of any organization, nasa can assume a rich and technologically capable posture, but facing a funder like Matrix Technology, it has absolutely no confidence to say that he is a rich person in front of others.
There is no better way for Ren Hong. For the long-term strategic goal, he can only bleed once. Helping the United States to put down the treasure first, it will not be so easy to "move" at that time. After all, there is a "congress master". This "ally".
Before landing on Mars, the crew related to it came to the centrifugal capsule of the "Firefly Space Station". Six or seven people gathered around and were discussing a meeting. Commander Li Xingfeng, Ren Hong's "incarnation" Professor Wang Jiang, and Chinese and American leaders The captain of the armed squad, the survivor Duncan Jones, and the top paleontologist Aislin and others were all present.
Basically, all the key members who will log in this time are listed.
"Everyone, this extraterrestrial exploration mission has risen from a scientific investigation to a defensive mission, and the threats have all increased again. In addition to dealing with the harsh Martian environment, it is also necessary to prevent the security threats that Martian indigenous organisms may pose to us." She spoke fluent English to everyone one by one.
If you really want to fight for qualifications and abilities, Li Xingfeng is the well-deserved first person here. He should have retired, but the birth of replication technology has extended his career life again. The two most experienced people who came to Mars American astronauts all attacked Li Xingfeng on the "Tianzhou".
Therefore, in this cooperation, the Americans are convinced of Li Xingfeng as the highest commander.
"Before landing in the Pezos area, it is important to understand the actual situation." The commander added, and his eyes were also on the rescued Duncan Jones, who quickly understood.
Duncan Jones opened the suitcase. It was a personal computer. It was quickly linked to the main screen in the conference room. Everyone turned their eyes to the main screen. They were all top-secret information, which was limited to both parties.
"On August 13, 2028, the accident happened on this day. We completed our first landing at the end of June, and then started to build the first Mars base in Pezos Heights. It developed steadily for more than a month without any accidents. Until August 11, the construction of the outpost base was completed. On the 12th, the Orion spacecraft took off for the third time and sent Alex and Dick to Mars. I was ordered to stay on the Noah to take charge of the operation and maintenance work."
"Yes, on the first day landing on Mars, Skovo accidentally found a complete biological skeleton." Duncan Jones said, and a video suddenly appeared on the main screen. It was the camera on Skovo's shoulder at the time. From the first point of view recorded, everyone watched Skovo throw away the soil layer one by one in the video, and finally showed a complete biological skeleton.
"Hi, buddy, what are you doing? Do you want me to get down the rover by myself?"
"You better look at this!"
"this is"
"If there is nothing wrong with Martian creatures! A Martian creature that hasn't been dead for a long time can be preliminarily judged from the color and texture of the bones. It should have died within a period of about three years. It may be longer or shorter, but both There won’t be too much fluctuation, it hasn’t been petrified yet.

Ren Honghuan hugged his arms, raised his head and watched the vod video on the home screen. The two Mars landers were talking. At this time, Duncan Jones tapped on the personal computer a few times, and the vod video ended. Another message was called up: "The accident happened in the middle of the night on the 13th. At that time, a small storm greeted the Pezos area 3 hours ago. Although the wind speed was very fast, the Martian air was thin. In addition, we have this aspect. Preparations So even if this storm is ten times larger, it will not have much impact on the outpost base, but when the storm ended, the signal between the base and the Noah was unstable, and the intermittent bad state appeared."
At this moment, everyone looked at Duncan Jones and listened to his memories. He looked at them and said: "Dick was sent out to check the signal tower. After half an hour, I completely cut off communication with the ground. At first I was surprised and called many times. There was no contact, but I was not too worried, thinking that something was wrong with the signal tower, and I never thought that the ground base would be attacked by Martian native creatures."
"During the communication terminal, I observed the live climate of Mars, especially in the Pezos area. Wind and dust storms are the most threatening thing to us, but there is no sign of wind and dust storms sweeping the entire planet, so I finished my routine work. Then I went to rest."
"Until the next day, there was still no news, and I really paid attention to it. I kept calling for ground information and kept calling, but there was still no response."
"Until" said Duncan Jones, his eyes were a little red~EbookFREE.me~ He lowered his head and breathed a little bit quickly, and everyone was silent. Duncan Jones had such a reaction that you can imagine him following. What did I see.
The compatriots beside him patted him gently: "Cheer up, it's okay!!"
Jones stabilized his emotions and nodded silently. Everyone looked at him looking down at the desktop. He could not see his pupils but only a pair of eyelids. Duncan Jones took a long breath and looked around the crowd again. He was on his personal computer. After a few beats, everyone turned to the main screen subconsciously.
"When the'Noah' came over Pezos again, the base became like this, and I was at a loss as to what to do with bad news."
Everyone looked at the main screen. It was a high-definition picture. The outpost base was in a mess. The ordered solar panels were swayed, some were broken, and several inflatable space capsules were sluggish due to gas leakage. Duncan Jones replaced a picture, and many people saw a terrible cold. It was fragments of spacesuits scattered on the red soil.
Upon seeing this, the American in the conference room exclaimed: "Number a01202, is that Dick?"
"Oh, God!" He saw Duncan nodding silently. Everyone was shocked. The spacesuit was covered with scarlet blood. This picture all showed that Dick was torn apart by something. Fragments, flesh and blood are gone, to be precise, the corpse is gone, leaving only the spacesuit fragments.
Ren Hong looked at the picture carefully. He pointed to the main screen and suddenly said, "That's burnt? Can the image be enlarged a bit? Right! That location!"
Duncan did.
Ren Hong covered his mouth, stared for a moment, and muttered: "It's not like a burnt situation, it should be a phenomenon that is severely corroded by acidic substances."
Speaking, Ren Hong looked at Duncan Jones: "Is he carrying acidic corrosive substances?"
