Friday, July 4th, night, Miyamoto house.

Belinda called, "Mei Daiko, I have a good video. ”

Mei Daiko immediately dialed the channel, and the picture was obviously taken with a small lens, and the photographer staggered as if he was drunk.

After a while, seeing that the picture was always a dark yellow desert full of rubble, Mei Daizi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Belinda, what are you looking at?"

Belinda laughed, "Guess what. ”

Mei Daizi said: "What is there to guess, isn't it just a desert photographed by a remote-controlled car? Is it a sandstorm?"

Belinda smiled, "Keep looking, you'll know right away." ”

Moments later, the camera comes to the edge of a cliff with canyons and ravines in the frame. Slowly, the camera lifted, and more ravines appeared, one of which looked like traces of something dragging along the object. Slowly, several large circular pits appeared in the picture, very round, some of the pits were gravel, and the largest pit had a raised mountain rock in the middle. Slowly, a moon appeared in the picture, but it seemed to be a little smaller, and the shape did not seem to be round or arc-shaped, and then, something strange happened, and another small moon flew into the lens, and then, a starry sky appeared in the picture, a starry sky that was different from the starry sky of the earth.

"This, is this an alien planet?" said Mei Daizi with some excitement, "It must be an alien planet, those craters are full of meteorites, and that drag mark is the trace of a meteorite impact, there is no atmosphere there, there are two small moons there, by the way, there is Mars, Phobos and Phobos." ”

"That's right. Belinda laughed, "Today, the Martian Trailblazer landed on the border area of Mars' Ares Canyon and Chris Plains, and this is the image transmitted back by the Tourist rover. ”

"Sister Belinda, Sister Belinda, the picture of looking up at the starry sky just now, play it again. Mei Daiko said.

Belinda smiled and asked, "Haven't you seen a lot of space images?"

Looking at the reappearance of the charming starry sky on the screen, Mei Daizi smiled: "This is different, looking at the starry sky on other planets is different from seeing it in space." ”

"Then watch it slowly," Belinda said with a smile, "This picture is transmitted through the relay satellite in Mars orbit on my Huo Xiu company's interstellar communication system, and Huo Xiu has the right to back up, so you can watch it as long as you want, as long as it is not leaked, this station will temporarily broadcast the picture taken by the Tourist rover, you can watch it slowly." ”

Miyamoto Miko smiled, "This system has finally worked. ”

"With the current technology, even if a three-ton satellite is sent up, it is not very difficult, and the life of the satellite is more than ten years, and it cannot be used for a long time. Belinda said, and then smiled, "Okay now, this is all starting to have income, ten dollars a second, and at the end of the day, it can make the space agency's people painful." Then he smiled again, "By the way, I don't know if this income is considered foreign income, after all, this thing is not in the United States." ”

Miyamoto Miyako smiled, "This is indeed a question, and it is really difficult to answer. And then he said, "Tell me about the project." ”

"The space agency is trying to create a low-cost program as a way to prove that it is possible to develop faster, better, cheaper space probes," Belinda said. It was supposed to cost $150 million to send a lander with a rover that could only run for seven days to Mars, with a total weight of about 300 kilograms. Because it is an unmanned project, it is in charge of the private Institute of Technical Research and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. ”

Miyamoto says, "Then, you increase the content of the project and the budget. ”

"Yes, the total weight has increased sevenfold, more than two tons, and a solar system has been added to charge the rover, which can be charged once every seven days, and it can be piped for seven days at a time," Belinda said. In this way, the project can theoretically be used for 10 to 15 years. A sound system was added to test the interstellar communication system of the Hoshu Corporation. Fall-proof auxiliary wheels have been added to the tourist's rover to avoid being unable to get up like a turtle. A small arm has been added to move up to five kilograms of objects and dig a 10-centimeter-deep hole. Then he smiled and asked, "Midaiko, do you know what else this can be used for?"

"Well," Mei Daiko thought for a moment and smiled, "I see, for writing." ”

"That's right. Belinda laughed, "It's absolutely no problem to write a name, and it's enough to draw a map." ”

Yamazaki smiled: "I don't know how much the land price of Mars is." ”

"You can't buy or sell according to international regulations," Belinda said as she thought, "but it doesn't seem to say anything else." Then he smiled, "Yes, it looks like there will be another entry." ”

Mimiko Miyamoto asked, "Is this what you presided?"

"I invested $500 million, and the space agency only invested $150 million, and in line with the convention of who invests and who benefits, I should theoretically be in charge. Belinda said, "Now that I have negotiated, seventy days later, it will be Huo Xiu's company to preside, of course, the information must be handed in." Still, seventy days is enough time to explore the surroundings. ”

Miyamoto Miko asked, "So, what's the use of this thing then?"

Belinda smiled: "I don't know either, but I just thought of an idea, as for what it is, pay attention to the newspaper." Then he said, "By the way, when the time comes, the control location can be transferred to the satellite center of Huo Xiu's company." ”

Mei Daizi said happily: "If you say that, I can also go play." ”

Belinda smiled: "So, my Miss Mei Daizi, don't have a problem with the exam, you must know that the car of the remote control alien planet is very difficult to play, God knows if there will be any accidents after a long time." ”

"Yes, I see. Mei Daiko nodded and smiled, "I will definitely not have a problem." ”

Belinda laughed, "That's it, bye-bye." ”……

Saturday, July 5th, morning, Miyamoto house.

The international edition of the morning newspaper published an account of the man-made spacecraft landing on Mars again after 20 years, the Mars Trail Blazer successfully landed on the border area of Mars' Ares Canyon and Chris Plain, and the Tourist rover began to explore Mars. The two spacecraft were also introduced. It also mentioned the successful test of the interstellar network built by Hoshua and introduced the interstellar network.

After the Observer probe lost contact with Mars in '92, NASA began to upgrade the deep space network, but only the ground facilities were upgraded due to technological advances and future missions. The Hoch company applied to build an interstellar network consisting of two relay satellites, one on Mars and one on Earth. After approval, the Ho Xiu company established this system.

A spokesman for Hoschel said that Hoshua had spent about $1.5 billion on the project, and that the current fee is $10 a second, with $100 million a year, so that it can expect to recoup the cost of the satellite before it loses its lifespan.

The spokesman also said that after 70 days, this set of equipment will become the equipment of the Hooh Company, and those who want to operate the rover will write to the Michael Group, and then some people will be selected to get the control at a price of 100 dollars every 10 minutes, and the minors will be halved, children between the ages of six and 10 will be free, and those under the age of six will be asked to talk about the age.

Also, there will be a rental of Martian land, please want to leave a name on the surface of Mars, also write to Michael Group, due to the limited range of rover activities, so it will be once a month, free bidding, we will select some people according to the size of the name and the bid price, as the first batch of people to leave their names on Mars. Note that in order to protect the Martian environment, these names will eventually be erased.

Finally, he also said that the Martian adventures of the Tourist's rover will soon be broadcast on the Michael Group's popular science channel, so please pay attention to tune in. In the future, through this program, you can see the names left on Mars. ……

Yamazaki smiled: "Leaving a name on Mars should attract a lot of people." ”

Miyamoto Miko smiled: "It's indeed a good entry." ”……
