Chapter 244: There Are Inner Ghosts!
The discovery of the detector debris was a Europa detector.
As long as there are probes on Mars, NASA has a map of the orbits of Mars rovers from other countries, which is for the safety of all Mars orbiters.
After all, if you don't know the orbiters of other countries, in the event of a collision, the chances of all probes going down will increase dramatically.
So when Merriken's Mars rover lost contact, other countries knew about it almost at the same time, but they were not Merriken after all, so there were a lot of emotional gaps.
That is, this time the situation is more special, it is a mysterious detector, and it is afraid of affecting its own detector, so several other companies also paid attention to this matter.
Fortunately, the national probes have accurate coordinates, which are different from the mysterious probes, so as long as they are calculated according to the previous coordinates and orbits, and then add the time of loss, it is easy to find the location of the lost probe.
At that time, the Europa probe was in a good position, so it was the first to find the debris cloud, and then it was informed to several other NASAs that had Mars orbiters.
Knowing the location, soon the debris dispersion range and the possible orbital lifting range were calculated, and the Mars orbiters of various countries also carried out emergency evacuation.
However, the sudden loss of contact with the Merrican probe will not only make Merriken and Tianxia, who just know more about the situation, think in the direction of aliens, but also several other countries will think in the direction of aliens.
Even a joint web conference was held immediately.
This shows the gap between countries on the planet.
Such a big event happened in the orbit of Mars, most countries on the earth do not know at all, only a few countries with probes in the orbit of Mars know, and don't blame a few countries for discussing things, or even not taking them with them when making decisions.
Because it's not a piece at all.
Countries that do not have "power" in space do not even know the news, and after an accident, they will definitely only choose the interests on the ground, or most of the time only choose the interests on the ground and not the interests of space.
If a certain resolution is voted on according to the rule of one country, one vote, the very few countries with "space power" will certainly not be happy.
Fortunately, the countries with space power are basically in the P5, and they have a veto.
Some things are not as simple as talking, but going to a country that has never been to space, and looking at the same thing is really different.
So some things really don't mean that more people mean right, and fewer people mean wrong.
Of course, the reverse is also true, because the "right and wrong" thing is really hard to say, so many times people can only judge from their own standpoint.
Even when the space agencies of Tianxia, Europa, Merriken, the Petroleum Alliance, and the Peacock Kingdom held a joint network meeting, Tianxia and Merriken had their own small actions, which the other three organizations did not know.
Oh, yes, there is another one, that is Tang Chao.
He wasn't from the official space agency, and the actual jurisdiction of the navigator wasn't as much as that of the official space agency, so this kind of confidential matter would definitely not have been brought to him in the first place.
It also depends on the situation in the later stage.
But this time there is no need to bring it officially, he himself is a participant in this matter.
The mysterious probe that the official said, the No. 34 probe he knew, also sent him a copy of the latest news.
Although he had given the order to keep Probe 34 silent, it was able to send messages very smoothly as the tattered spacecraft came close.
After all, when on the Kan side, the small exploration spacecraft also has the control of the probe, and the authority is very high.
The authority is the same, naturally it is flattened, and the small exploration spacecraft leaned over and sent a signal, or a simple clear code signal, so Tang Chao also received a copy.
It was also this information that let Tang Chao know that the small exploration spacecraft that had entered the wormhole and lost contact had arrived.
Looking at the information listed on the screen, Tang Chao touched his chin and said, "It's also the orbit of Mars, is the wormhole really in the orbit of Mars?" Or is it nearby? ”
"It's strange, if that's the case, why hasn't the orbit of Mars been affected? A wormhole on the edge, it can't run so smoothly, right? ”
"I don't understand."
"And the No. 34 probe only sent out a signal, but did not receive a signal, which means that the small probe ship is silent, why is it silent, is it that the antenna is broken?"
"It's possible, after all, some of the equipment of the 34th probe was damaged when it traveled through the wormhole, and it is normal for the equipment to be damaged in a small exploration spacecraft."
"It's nerve-wracking, and it's also because I don't have a probe in Mars orbit, if I have a probe in Mars orbit, or if the unmanned spacecraft has already arrived there, the situation will definitely be much better."
"It seems that we will have to send some probes to the solar system in the future, even if it is useless for the time being, it is good to have one more source of information......"
One of his thoughts, the Navigator Company is going to have a bunch of more work to do.
But not having a source of information is really nerve-wracking, so it has to be done.
"By the way, I've got to make a trip to Canstar and tell Werner about it."
When Tang Chao left the studio to go to Kanxing, a new situation appeared on Merriken's side.
The Curiosity rover has captured a new set of images.
Plumes of smoke on Mars!
It's either a desert tornado on Mars, or a literal plume of smoke.
"Is this a fire raised by aliens?"
"Maybe it's the smoke from the fireplace!"
"What are you all thinking, it must be aliens, aliens, maybe Martians!"
"Wait, do you think it has something to do with the missing detector? Could it be the debris dropped by the probe? ”
"Do the math, what about the tracks? Give me the previous orbit data? ”
"Here comes the data, here...... Result, result, result, aha, it's out, 87% chance! ”
"It's really possible, hey, it's not an alien, it's a pity."
"Not necessarily, what if the alien probe collides with the MAVEN Mars rover? We haven't found the alien probe yet, so there's a chance of that. ”
"Yes, there's a chance of that."
"So, shall we let Curiosity come over and have a look?"
"It's too far, and it's going to go over a hill, it's too dangerous for the Curiosity to go up the mountain, if you don't climb the hill, it's going to go farther, at least three months."
"Another message came, a photo...... Wait, what's up there, yes, yes, yes, it's ......"
"Oh my God!"
"It turned out to be four people in spacesuits, aliens! Definitely aliens! ”
Seeing this picture, little Armstrong, who had been observing the situation in the corner, suddenly had his eyes lit up.
"This is it! That's it! Here's my chance!"
