As soon as Peng Guochen said the identities of these two people, Chen Xin immediately guessed the intentions of these people.

More than a month ago, Russia's Forbes-Soil Mars probe was launched, which is Russia's first attempt in the field of interstellar exploration in the last 15 years.

The director of the Russian Space Research Institute has said that the probe will help study the origin of life in the solar system and the formation of moons of other planets. In order to realize this exploration task, Russia has invested a total of 5 billion rubles (about 1.05 billion yuan).

It's just a pity that a few hours after the successful launch of the Forbes-Soil Hokage probe from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the Russian Federal Space Agency released a message saying that the probe had an accident, and the active propulsion device failed to ignite and failed to change orbit. A source in the Russian Federal Space Agency said that the failure may have been due to a code error in the support program or a technical failure in the positioning system.

The failure of this mission has aroused widespread concern in the international community, especially in China, for no other reason, and the "Forbes Soil" probe also carried a guest from China.

That is China's "Firefly-1" Mars rover, China's first planetary probe.

The "Firefly-1" was developed by the Pearl Aerospace Design and Research Institute under the Aerospace Science and Technology Group Corporation, and carried four kinds of detection instruments, including a plasma detection package, a magnetometer, a satellite occultation receiver, and an optical imager. After the Firefly-1 enters orbit around Mars and separates from the Forbes-Soil probes, the two sides will cooperate to carry out occultation exploration tests.

The main scientific objective of Firefly-1 is to study the changes in the space magnetic field, ionosphere and particle distribution of Mars. and the escape rate of ions in the Martian atmosphere. In addition, the Martian topography, sandstorms, and the gravitational field near the Martian equator will be explored.

The failure of the mission had a severe impact on the Mars exploration of China and Russia, and China's space authorities had to announce that it would suspend its interplanetary exploration program until the first flight of the Long March 5 high-thrust launch vehicle was completed.

Of course, the failure of the orbit change does not mean a complete failure, as long as the Forbes-Soil probe can be reconnected and its on-board computer can be restarted, it is still possible to put it back into orbit for more than a month. The Russian Federal Space Agency, ESA, NASA and China's space authorities work closely together to this end. Hope to save the USS Forbes-Soil.

It's just that today, the results are not optimistic, and now some aerospace experts have asserted that the Forbes probe can no longer be launched. Then in the coming week. It will fall to Earth. As it also carried up to eight tons of toxic fuel, if it falls into the residential area, it is very likely to have a serious impact on the safety of the lives and property of local residents.

There are still a lot of Forbes-related news in the media.

Just a week ago. The Russian Federal Space Agency published the results of the investigation into the accident of the Forbes-Soil Mars rover. The Accident Investigation Commission believes that the main cause of the accident may be a program error in the onboard computing system of the probe, and the most likely reason for this is that the heavy charged particles in space have a local effect on the onboard computing system.

But that doesn't mean the dust has settled on this mystery that has been tangled up for months.

When Chen Xin saw the news, Gangyi said: "Old Dou, there should be something greasy behind this." Although if a satellite in orbit encounters high-energy charged particles in space, and it happens to affect some key components of the satellite, its main control computer is damaged, causing the main control computer to fail, it is possible to guide the whole satellite to fail. But where exactly the high-energy charged particles that hit Forbes-Soil will come from is definitely a big question. ”

Since Forbes-Soil has never been out of the Earth's orbit, some of the energetic particles in the Earth's magnetosphere may have an impact on it, and in addition to the high-energy particles from the Milky Way or the eruption of the Sun in space, it may also have an impact on the satellites.

However, the probability of such an event is very small, and it is necessary to analyze it according to the location of the satellite accident. The galactic cosmic ray itself is a small probability event, and if anyone collides, it can be said to be a once-in-a-hundred-year, thousand-year-old, or even once-in-a-million years.

After such an explanation, Chen Xin understood a little.

No wonder there were rumors on the Internet that the failure of the Forbes-Soil probe may be related to foreign forces. Chen Xin only looked at this matter with the mentality that it was not about himself, and he did not expect that the high-level leaders of China and Russia would come to the door for this matter today.

However, Chen Xin also knows that his identity is probably no secret among various countries now, and coupled with the performance of the Dream in space two days ago, it is not unimaginable that China and Russia will come to the door together.

Russian Ambassador to China Ivanovich said in broken Chinese: "Mr. Chen, I have long admired the great name, President Mr. Medvedev and Prime Minister Mr. Putin asked me to bring you greetings. ”

Chen Xin said with a smile: "Thank you for the memory of the President and the Prime Minister, this time you came over, it should be related to the Forbes probes, right?"

Chang Siwei and Academician Chen Deyan glanced at each other, Chen Deyan smiled: "Mr. Chen is really wise, to be honest, this time we also had to come over, now the situation of the Forbes-soil detector is very critical, our ground command center has no way, according to the current orbit of the Forbes detector, it is very likely to fall in the northeast of our country in the next few days, causing a serious impact on the safety of people's lives and property, so we hope that you can help." A few days ago, the watch of your Dream space plane amazed all of our colleagues in the space community, and I believe that no country on Earth is capable of saving the Forbes-Soil Mars rover except your Dream spacecraft. ”

Chen Xin pursed his lips, although Chen Deyan's words were sincere, he was sure that the purpose behind the coming of China and Russia this time was not so simple, at least not just for the "Forbes-Soil" Mars rover.

Just as Chen Xin was still hesitating and thinking,'s voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Old Dou, promise them!"

Chen Xin was slightly stunned, and said in his heart: "Steel hammer, what's wrong, is there anything you want on the Forbes?" (to be continued......)
