I was exposed for mining on Mars

"Chief Engineer! Chief Engineer Cao! The picture, the picture is back!"

Inside the Blue Star United Aerospace Center, Cao Guolin, who was discussing the new Mars exploration plan with his subordinates, suddenly heard a rapid shout from the gate.

He originally wanted to scold him, but after hearing the word "picture", he no longer cared about the discussion and ran towards the control center with a single stride.

"General Engineer Cao, be careful!"

Cao Guolin's assistant was running behind him. Something happened to the national treasure-level scientist next to him.

But Cao Guolin was eager to see the picture sent back from the Zhurong again. He didn't pay attention to the words of the assistant behind him. Instead, he accelerated his pace and arrived at the control center in three steps and two steps at a time.

"Huh, what just happened?"

Cao Guolin, who was already quite old, ran to the control center and panted and asked the researchers in the control center.

The researchers who stayed here were also very excited at this time. They had just experienced the Zhurong that was "walking like flying" on Mars. They said excitedly: "Chief Engineer, the Martians really transformed the Zhurong. Now the Zhurong is The speed should have reached about 60 kilometers per hour."

"What? Say it again?"

After hearing what the researcher said, Cao Guolin thought he heard wrongly, "Are you sure it's 60 kilometers, not 600 meters, 6 kilometers?"

The reason why Cao Guolin had such a reaction was mainly because the Zhurong they launched had a design speed of only 40 meters per hour. From a speed of 40 meters per hour to a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, this is no longer a change of magnitude, it is simply a gap of more than an era.

Although there are signal transmission factors that cause the Zhurong's final speed to be only 40 meters per hour, even if the signal factor is ignored, it is impossible for the Zhurong to run at this speed on Mars.

"Quickly, bring up the scene just now and let me take a look."

Because the Zhurong number in the picture had stopped moving at this time, Cao Guolin still wanted to take a look at the picture just now.

It is not difficult for researchers at the research center to call up previous images. When Cao Guolin just sat down, the computer on his desk had already started playing the first scene.

"this"

When Cao Guolin looked at Zhu Ronghao, who felt like he was flying, his eyes almost widened.

Isn't this the Mars rover he has always dreamed of? If it weren't for the delay of the transmission signal, although my Zhurong account wouldn't run so fast, it wouldn't be too different, right?

But when he watched it for the second time, Cao Guolin also noticed a problem.

"Is the control of the Zhurong no longer in our hands?" Cao Guolin frowned and asked the members of the control team next to him.

"Yeah, we've lost all control except the cameras."

The answer from the control team member was a heavy blow to Cao Guolin, and his mood that he had just regained suddenly fell to the bottom again.

Although Cao Guolin had made such speculation before, when this kind of thing really happened, Cao Guolin was still hit hard.

As a result, their exploration plan still requires the detector carried by the next deep space rocket to be completed. What's more important is that the detector on the next rocket is likely to be captured by the other party. After all, the intelligent creatures on Mars have already captured the Zhurong.

"Based on the other party's technology, they should have discovered our transmission signal, right?"

After a brief depression, Cao Guolin said with some confusion when he moved his eyes from his computer to the big screen in front of him.

It stands to reason that since the Martians transformed the Zhurong into this state, they definitely have technology that far exceeds that of Blue Star. But how could they not discover that the Zhurong has been transmitting signals to Blue Star?

"Maybe the other party did it on purpose?" the assistant who had just followed said softly from the side.

"Deliberately?" Cao Guolin frowned, thinking about the possibility mentioned by his assistant.

In fact, Cao Guolin's assistant thought well. Luo Xiu on Mars did not deliberately cut off the connection between Zhurong and the Tianwen satellite in Mars orbit.

Luo Xiu has not yet developed long-distance signal transmission technology. If he wants to contact Blue Star, he still needs Zhuronghao as an intermediary.

Luo Xiu took the Zhurong out of the manufacturing factory to find a voice transmission device on his half-built spaceship.

Now you can only talk but not listen, and it doesn't mean anything to Luo Xiu.

"Wait for me here, I'll go in and find something."

When Luo Xiu brought the Zhurong to the front of half of his spaceship, he directly stopped the Zhurong, walked around to the rear, and jumped into the cabin of the spacecraft.

As Luo Xiu left, everyone on Blue Star could finally take a look at the oval-shaped building that was just a shadow.

‘Is it really a spaceship? Who guessed it just now? ’

‘Here I go, this spaceship is big enough. It seems to have the ability to deliver long distances in space? ’

‘No way, our Blue Star is really going to be beaten by the Martians? ’

‘Damn it, this can’t be the beginning of the end of the world for our Blue Star. ’

Since the Zhurong could only observe the completely unusable spacecraft from the front at this time, and did not see the fracture zone of the spacecraft, the Blue Star people who were watching the live broadcast were suddenly filled with grief.

Because they could see the gap between the two sides from the flying Zhurong just now, and the sudden appearance of this spacecraft made the Blue Star people know that danger might suddenly come to them.
