Chapter 339: Mars Has Water (Part 1)

"Jeff, this is the latest information from the Federal Security Service, you can take a look at it first. ”

Putin placed a copy of the document on Medvedev's desk.

Medvedev opened the text, and after a few seconds, there was a slight change in his expression.

"It seems that the rumors are true, two aerospace planes, what a big deal to fight!" Medvedev frowned.

Putin said: "The cooperation between the war situation and the Chinese government is deeper than we imagined, and that Chen Xin is Chinese after all." Now that the United States cannot deal with the war situation, but it is aggressive to the west of Moscow, Yanukovych can't hold up the wall, and the situation in Kyiv is no longer beyond our control. More importantly, although we have reached a nominal alliance with the War Incident and the BJ, the attitude of the War Incident towards us is still unclear, and I fear that one day, we will be marginalized by the Chinese and the War Situation. Don't forget, the Chinese have always been obsessed with the more than one million square kilometers of land in Vladivostok and Lake Baikal!"

Medvedev was taken aback and said: "Vladimir, do you mean that we are going to give up cooperation with the war and unite with the Americans?"

"Americans?!" Putin sneered, "Americans are even more unreliable, have you forgotten the accident 20 years ago?"

The collapse of the Soviet Union can be said to be an eternal pain in Putin's heart, although when Putin was president, he once said: "Those who do not miss the Soviet Union have no heart, and those who want to return to the Soviet era have no brains." But the era of the Red Empire was still one of the most glorious in the history of the Slavic nation, and Putin, who had worked so hard to bring Russia out of the quagmire, naturally hoped to restore Russia to its former glory. From this point of view, both China and the United States are Slavic enemies!

"Then what do you think should be done...... Medvedev is a little confused about Putin's thoughts.

"Metal batteries are important to us, we can do without aerospace aircraft, but we must not miss this energy and technology revolution, so our cooperation with the war situation cannot be interrupted," Putin said. However, there is a saying in China called sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and there is also a saying called waiting for the price to sell. The Americans chose to attack Ukraine at this time, in addition to squeezing our living space, they may not have the intention of asking us to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. Sooner or later, they'll have to fight the war. At that time, it was our chance. Until then, we must show the United States and the war that we are strong!"

"Our strength?"

Putin sneered: "Yes, our strength! The EU and the Yankees really think that we will have nothing to do if we remove Yanukovych from power." Ukraine has a pro-European west. There is also a pro-Russian east. It's time for us to take back the Crimean peninsula too!"

"Take back the Crimean peninsula?!" Medvedev was taken aback. Then he stood up from his seat with a fist and said, "I didn't think of that! This is a great opportunity!"

Crimea is a peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea. It is close to the throat of two continents in the Near East, so it has always been a battleground for soldiers. The eastern part is the Kerch Peninsula, separated from the mainland by the Kerch Strait, with an area of 25,500 square kilometers and a population of about 2.5 million, of which more than 85% are ethnic Russians.

In particular, the city of Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula, where the Russian Black Sea Fleet is located, is of great importance for the Russian Navy.

In May 1954, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the merger of Ukraine with Russia, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR ordered the transfer of the Crimean region to Ukraine.

In 1992, the Crimean Parliament passed the Law on the Independence of the Crimean State and the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea. After that, the constitution was outlawed due to the opposition of the Ukrainian government.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, more than 90 percent of the people in Crimea wanted to secede from Ukraine and rejoin Russia, but due to the impact of the international political and economic situation, this proposal did not receive a response from the Russian government.

Now that the situation in Ukraine has reached such a point, it is time to reclaim the Crimean peninsula.

Of course, Putin and Medvedev also know that this decision will be a huge gamble for both of them and for the Russian Federation.

……

Chen Xin naturally did not expect that the change in the situation in Ukraine would trigger such a strong reaction from Russia.

But at this time, even if he knew that there was about to happen a huge change in Ukraine, he probably didn't have the time to pay attention to it, and he was shocked by another news brought by the steel hammer!

"Old Bean, the Firefly probe Mars has water!"

If it weren't for the sudden mention of, Chen Xin almost forgot that there was still a probe on Mars.

When the "Firefly" first landed on Mars, Chen Xin was still interested in this mysterious planet, but after looking at the surface of the Martian wasteland for many days, and the "Firefly" did not make any special discoveries, he became less interested.

For a period of time afterward, Chen Xin allowed the "Firefly" to roam around on Mars, and the relevant numbers could only be sent back to the Longshou Mountain base for storage, and Chen Xin did not pay special attention to it.

Who would have thought that nearly two months later, the "Firefly" would make such a big discovery.

In a basement inside the Somali International Airport, Chen Xinshou hurriedly turned on the power and turned on the computer inside.

Although it cannot be compared with the Longshou Mountain underground base with the Xingshi computer, its computing speed and processing capacity have reached the level of one billion, which is two orders of magnitude higher than the world's fastest computing speed "Tianhe-1". Because the computer's CPU is made of quantum anomalous Hall effect materials, this computer almost does not emit any heat, saves a large amount of heat dissipation system of ordinary supercomputers, and consumes less than 100 kilowatts, which is completely incomparable with the power consumption of a city in Tianhe-1.

In order to facilitate contact with the Longshou Mountain underground base, Chen Xin also flew the Dream space plane to the geosynchronous orbit a few days ago, and deployed three quantum communication satellites on it to form a constellation system, so that in the future, Chen Xin can get in touch with Somalia and the Longshou Mountain base in any corner of the earth without a guò steel rod.

At this time, the Xingshi computer in the Longshou Mountain base is transmitting the images taken by the recent "Firefly" Mars probe back to Somalia in real time.

Chen Xin looked at the image on the holographic projection in shock and was silent for a long time.

The video was shot from a height of several thousand meters, below which is a huge extinct crater, which is located near 60 degrees south latitude of Mars, 3,000 meters high, and has a diameter of 400 meters, according to the number given by the Firefly, which has been silent for 40 million years.

The Firefly descended at a rapid pace and quickly burrowed through the crater.

The video camera equipment on board the Firefly has a low-light recording function, which captures all the scenes inside the volcano in great detail.

Although the crater is not large in diameter, the interior is extremely wide, like an inverted funnel.

The "Firefly" descended nearly 800 meters inside before it came into contact with the field.

Then there is the image of the Firefly exploring the interior of the volcano, the uneven ground, the folded mountain walls, the carbon 14 determination of the rock structure, and the worthless fragments are skipped.

Finally, the Firefly came to an unfathomable cave.

The cave winds its way along the walls of the volcano, and finally, it leads somewhere.

The Firefly's built-in intelligent program did not hesitate and continued to explore along this passage.

The cave was unexpectedly deep, and the deeper it went, the darker the light became, and in some places it was so narrow that the Firefly couldn't get in.

Fortunately, the "Firefly" had already carried two manipulators with cutting functions, so it went deep into the cave smoothly.

After all, there was a moment when the cave bottomed out, and after about three kilometers of deep into this magical cave, there was finally no way ahead.

However, when the "Firefly" shone its searchlight on this crystal clear wall, Chen Xin couldn't help but scream! (To be continued......
