Chapter 12: Traces of BBQ
The next day, Chen Mulin, as usual, checked the equipment as usual after breakfast, went out to clean up the sand and dust on the photovoltaic panels, and then started the live broadcast.
In fact, the live broadcast room has always been on the air, for the sake of authenticity, it can be monitored 24 hours a day, of course, as long as Chen Mulin is unwilling, he will not appear in the camera.
In the shot, Chen Mulin's face is still not very good, after a day, his stomach has not finished making trouble, but he has not slept well all night, and it has only improved a little now.
After adjusting his mentality slightly, Chen Mulin began to speak: "Here come brothers!"
"Today is the sixth Martian day on Mars, the weather is not bad, and the sandstorm is really the same as the expected orbit, not coming towards the base. ”
"I had a bad stomach yesterday, but today I got a little better, and quietly my face looks like I haven't eaten for a few days. ”
[Barrage: You live like a person who has been squeezed dry.] 】
[Barrage: Drained by the toilet!]
It's really drained by the toilet.
Chen Mulin does not deny this, there is nothing to refute.
He tapped on the keyboard and connected the two shots of the Mars rover to the live broadcast room, and the picture was enlarged.
"Now the Mars rover has been traveling for fifteen hours, all the way at a low speed of five kilometers per hour, according to the maximum mileage of a single charge, the rover should now be 40 kilometers away from the base. ”
"Under the premise of full sunshine, it takes five hours for the unmanned rover to be charged once, of course, the anchor is set to travel while charging, and it has been more than two hours since the sun rises, and it is expected to travel ten kilometers today. ”
"The distance from the base to Mount Olympus is 80 kilometers, which means that at the current speed, it will take another six hours for the rover to reach its destination. ”
"Now let's take a look at the footage that has been filmed for fifteen hours. ”
Chen Mulin tapped on the keyboard again, narrowed the two current images to the corners, and then called up the shooting records of the two rovers to zoom in and watch them at 16 times the speed.
It's completely the Gobi Desert, with no features to speak of, Chen Mulin looked bored, and couldn't help but speed up the playback.
Until the end, there was still nothing to discover, after all, the distance was not very far, only a few tens of kilometers.
Cut the screen back to the present, just watch it boringly, while chatting with the sailors.
"Well, it seems that there are no finds, no traces of Martian activity, no signs of life, let alone plants, all the Gobi Desert, not even a strange stone. ”
[Barrage: The anchor finally admitted that this is the Gobi Desert!]
[Barrage: Please keep your mystery alive!]
[Curtain: Don't take medicine, continue to perform!]
On the question of whether this is Mars, Chen Mulin is unlikely to give in: "It's the Gobi Desert, it's just the Gobi Desert on Mars!"
Speaking of plants, I remembered the potatoes that I just planted yesterday, and maybe I should take my friends to take a look.
Thinking that Chen Mulin got up and walked to the main hall, he did not disconnect the equipment connection between the live broadcast room and the Mars rover, but just shrunk to the side and zoomed in on the current lens.
"The rover hasn't found anything so far, so let's take a look at the potatoes that were planted yesterday. ”
Under the lens, the film is already covered with water droplets, and the sand inside is also wet.
Obviously, it is impossible to sprout in just a dozen hours, and now it is just a matter of taking a look at the situation, which is the psychological effect of people.
According to the anchor's estimate, the potatoes should sprout in two days. Guaranteed to break ground within a week, please trust my level of agriculture!"
[Barrage: What did Damon tell you?]
[Barrage: Break ground after a week, and then the anchor will find that is still, and potatoes are still. 】
[Barrage: Anchor, there is a situation with your remote control car!]
[Barrage: There is a situation with the remote control car!]
......
Looking at the barrage, Chen Mulin suddenly heard a series of alarms, and sure enough, it was a signal from the probe vehicle.
It's car number two!
Chen Mulin hurriedly switched the main screen to car No. 2.
In the footage, car No. 2 has stopped, and the camera is facing the ground, where there seems to be some traces.
Chen Mulin decisively gave an order to let the rover clean up the traces.
The order was given, and the rover extended a mechanical arm with a brush and began to clean up the sand and dust covering the track.
Gradually, the marks began to become clear, and they looked very familiar.
Continue until the cleanup is complete and the traces are completely exposed to the lens.
[Barrage: Charcoal?]
[Barrage: Could it be that the Martians have had a bonfire party here?]
[Barrage: It can't be that the anchor burned it himself not long ago, right?]
[Barrage: BBQ traces left by Martians?]
......
Oh my God, it's a bonfire, and although it wasn't there, it did look like charcoal burned.
Where did the wood come from on this bare Mars?
"Brothers, it seems that we have found something amazing, as you said, it really looks like a trace left by BBQ, could it be that there is really life on Mars?"
"But, you also know, Mars is bare, it's not plains or mountains, isn't there sandstorms, where does the wood come from, could it be that the wood of Mars grows underground, or is there a space under the surface of Mars where life exists?"
"It's unbelievable!"
Chen Mulin sighed, this is really Mars, not a certain Gobi Desert on the earth, and now it is very necessary to take a sample back to see if it is charcoal, if it is, then there is no doubt that there is life on Mars.
With Chen Mulin's command, the Mars rover once again stretched out a robotic arm with a shovel, and the two robotic arms cooperated to load the charcoal suspected to be charcoal.
"Brothers, now that the samples have been collected, I will have the rover return to the base immediately, and tomorrow we will reveal whether this thing suspected to be charcoal is charcoal or not. ”
