Boston Ground Command Center, USA. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The staff was in a mess.

Just ten minutes ago, they urgently interrupted the national live broadcast of the "Ascending Fire Project" in the United States. The U.S. soldiers who maintained order outside the launch center pulled up a barrier at the door of the command center, stopped the reporters who were waiting for the news eagerly, and sealed off the entire command center.

“…… This is the Ares! We need support! God...... They, those bugs! They're hitting our cabin!"

"Hell, don't they attack people?"

"We may have landed on their nests...... 11% of the hull is destroyed, damn it!"

Messages came intermittently from the Ares, which was tens of millions of kilometers away.

Bolden, who was standing inside the command center, stared at the screen dumbfounded.

He couldn't believe that it could all happen so suddenly.

Also stunned were scientists from the Defense Department's Advanced Projects Agency, a professor of biology at Harvard University, and researchers from SpaceX's Mars Colonization Program...... Including Martin Capras, who was shut out of Transwarp Trade last time in Coro City, and Michael Levitt, who came on behalf of MIT, and so on.

Almost all of the world's most prestigious experts in biology are standing here.

They once patted their chests and swore to NASA consultants, saying that in the more than three billion years of evolution, the digestive function of this Martian creature for mammals has degraded with the extinction of Martian surface creatures, and it is impossible to attack humans for no reason.

The reason why the Devil Worm attacked the Martian colony of the Ring Trade was purely because the Lord Ring Trade acted hostilely in the first place...... In short, those new countrymen are self-inflicted.

But now, the devil bug used Sean's death to slap everyone in the face in the face.

It doesn't just eat people.

In front of everyone, in the most cruel way, the prey was feasted upon......

"God," he and a group of high-ranking officials walked to the lounge next door to the command center, and Secretary of Defense Carter, who had a military uniform full of ranks, swallowed and foamed, "Today will be the darkest day in the history of American spaceflight." ”

"The Ring Trade has warned us about the dangers of those Martian species...... Damn!Who said these things are gentle cuties, and you'll be fine if you don't touch them!" NASA Commissioner Bolden slammed his fist hard on the table in the break room.

These 8 astronauts are all NASA treasures, and NASA spends as much money on them as much as Ares itself.

Training an astronaut is much more expensive than training a fighter pilot. They not only have to master more complex spacecraft operation knowledge, but also have to master a lot of natural science knowledge to deal with various unexpected situations.

"What do we do now?" the White House adviser looked at Bolden, "how am I going to explain this to the president in two hours?"

“…… Take the initiative to clarify to the media?" Defense Secretary Carter gritted his teeth and said, "No...... If we let them know that our astronauts died only because of our misjudgment, we would be drowned in the saliva of the media. ”

"There are still seven people alive...... We've got to find a way to get them back. Bolden said with an ugly face.

"How can you save it?" Amused by Bolden's words, but unable to laugh again, Carter grinned bitterly, "Do you think it's Iraq, or is it A. Fuhan? The people surrounding us are terrorists? If so, I'll send a team of seals to pick up our citizens home." ”

"I can only turn to the people of the Star Ring Trade for help. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire lounge suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.

The deputy director who said this immediately closed his mouth, peeked at several colleagues, and stopped talking.

"Hold the media back, and then talk to the Warp Trade side if we can get them to take our astronauts to their colonies......," Bolden said more and more.

Before the rocket was launched, the people of the Ring Trade warned them of the dangers of the Martian species. However, not only did they take it as a deaf ear, but they also thought that the Warp Trade was a deliberate smoke bomb to thwart their "fire plan" with a swarm of insects that would not actively attack mammals.

And yet now......

They paid for their stupidity.

"The only way to solve it is through diplomatic means. Carter said with an ugly face

Kick the ball to the Secretary of State...... Anyway, this matter has little to do with him, the Advanced Projects Bureau of the Ministry of Defense was involved in the design of the Twink-6 rocket engine, but did not participate in the entire launch project.

And the reason why he is standing here is just to show his face at this historical moment.

It's just a pity that the face is exposed, and the ugliness is also ......

"Anyway, let's stabilize the media first, I'll go talk to them, and it's just that Mars has encountered solar wind, and the communication between the ground command center and Ares has failed, and it will take a while to receive the news from there. The White House adviser said.

"Then I'll go talk to the NASA staff, and keep this matter a secret. Bolden glanced at several high-ranking officials and said.

"I'm going to explain to the people at SpaceX. NASA's deputy director said.

As long as Transwarp Trade can be persuaded to make a move, the lives of the seven astronauts should be fine.

As for how to negotiate with Transwarp Trade, it's the Secretary of State's business.

However, at this moment, the door of the lounge was slammed open, and a man in a NASA staff uniform ran in a panic.

"What's the matter?" Lipman," said Bolden, frowning at him, dissatisfied, "what are you reckless, don't you know to knock on the door?"

The conversation was abruptly interrupted, and what they had just discussed was a state secret.

"Oh no!" Lipman leaned against the doorframe and looked at Bolden with a bitter face, panting, "The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Daily News, the Wall Street Journal, and CBS...... Several media outlets outside the launch center demanded that we immediately give an explanation for the incident!"

"Explain?" Carter frowned, "Explain what? Aren't they honestly out there?"

Glancing at several bigwigs in the lounge, Lipman's eyes widened in surprise, "You don't know?"

"What do you know?" The White House adviser's heart suddenly rose to the slightest hint of malice, and he immediately rushed to Lipman's side, grabbing his shoulder, "What's going on outside!

Don't you really know?

Lipman smiled wryly, took the Apple 10 out of his pocket, and stuffed it into the arms of the White House adviser.

"See for yourself. ”

The White House adviser hurriedly took the mobile phone, and Carter, Bolden and others standing behind him also hurriedly stepped forward.

In the middle of the screen is a tweet.

To be precise, it is a news article that was reprinted by a well-known blogger, with the blogger's comment on the news...... But that's not the point.

The moment you see the headline.

Everyone's faces turned the color of pig liver.

I saw the headline......

[Shocked! The American manned rocket landed on Mars and encountered them......]
