The sun had just risen, and the golden rays pierced through the clouds and looked a little dim and weak, not enough to illuminate the Gobi Desert, which fluctuated high and low. A groundhog poked its head out from behind the rocks, looked left and right for a while, came out of the hole, moved into a piece of rubble, and dug for the roots of the grass. A cobra slowly approached, and two feet away from the groundhog, suddenly jumped up and entangled the groundhog......

This desolate Gobi Desert is located in a narrow strip of land between northern Gansu and Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, where Huayuanda Group's aviation base is located. More than a dozen steel brackets up to 100 meters high are facing several pieces of the morning glow, and three of them stand on the spacecraft, facing the rising sun, like an eagle flapping its wings and flying high, the moment of struggling to jump, the whole body is full of coldness and strength.

About 5 kilometers to the south of this row of supports, there is a lone domed building. Ren Zhonghui stood in the empty hall on the top floor of the building, looking at the spacecraft outside through the entire curved glass wall. A minute later, the projection wall behind him will light up, and military representatives from China, the United States, Britain, France, and Russia will have an instant video conference with him.

Ten years ago, the five major powers reached a joint agreement on the development of Mars, and in order not to take sides, they decided to find a multinational high-tech company in the world to complete the Mars landing project, and gradually establish an orderly shipping route between the Earth and Mars. Huayuanda Group participated in the bidding and won the contract by beating many competitors in one fell swoop. Since then, the research and development work has been carried out in an orderly manner, overcoming difficulties one by one, and finally ushered in the first test flight a year ago.

Take to the skies, escape from Earth's orbit, and sail ...... Everything went smoothly. After 100 days of sailing, the spacecraft entered the orbit of Mars, and the whole world was jubilant: only one step away, only landing.

That day, Ren Zhonghui sat on the command podium, staring intently at the display screen in front of him. The display screen shows the status of the spacecraft in Martian orbit, the surrounding interstellar environment, and the situation of the astronauts.

Ren Zhonghui picked up the intercom and gave an order: "Log in immediately!" ”

Suddenly, a fire erupted from the spacecraft's console, and before everyone could react, the flames had already converged into flames, surrounding the entire console, and then with a loud bang, a fireball instantly engulfed the entire cabin.

In the command room, a stream of lamentations, cries, and screams converged into a torrent that shattered people's hearts. Ren Zhonghui stood there, dumbfounded, facing the pitch-black display screen, incapacitated.

In the following year, Huayuanda conducted four more landing tests and learned the lessons of the first one, which did not send human astronauts on all four occasions, but replaced them with intelligent robots; However, the nightmare did not stop - each time, just like the first time, a moment before landing, the cabin inexplicably caught fire and exploded, and it fell short......

At that time, Ren Zhonghui was extremely distressed and desperate: every link had been tried countless times, it was impossible to make mistakes, and there were no problems during the long voyage, why did it catch fire and explode just before landing? Could it be that there really is a mysterious force preventing humans from landing on Mars? Just like Qiao Zhiyue said, human beings are too arrogant, ruining the earth, not repenting, not thinking about saving, but vainly trying to find a new home, what to do? And then spoil?!

"Dididi......" a few times, and the screen wall behind him lit up, pulling Ren Zhonghui back from his thoughts.

Ren Zhonghui turned to face the five representatives displayed on the screen and bowed.

"Tell me about the situation!" The representative of the Chinese side said.

"Yes, delegates!" Ren Zhonghui stood upright, straightened his body, and said loudly, "Over the past year, we have been investigating the cause of the fireship fire, and recently we finally found out that someone has embedded a piece of code in the software of the information transmitter, which is very deep, and when it is activated, it will cause the current of information transmission to increase dramatically, break down the capacitor, and cause ......a fire."

"Excuse me......," said the American representative, "you mean, the enemy lurks inside your company?" And is it a R&D person who is involved in the writing of code? ”

"I'm sorry, yes!" Ren Zhonghui bowed his head in apology.

"Have you found out who it is?" The representative of the United Kingdom asked.

"Not yet, we're still screening...... But ......" Ren Zhonghui stopped, waved his hand to open the display screen behind him, and continued, "After finding out that the code was activated through the information transmitter, we mobilized a large number of personnel to screen all the electromagnetic signals sent from the earth at that time, and finally we targeted a hidden signal station on the north side of Mount Everest...... Later, after a careful search, we confirmed that this signal station was hidden in the temple of Damba Dajie Lama. ”

When Ren Zhonghui spoke, the location of the signal station was displayed on the display screen, and it was shown to the five representatives.

"Who is it? Did anyone catch it? The representative of the Russian side asked.

"This signal station is so hidden, if we go directly to search, it is difficult to gain something, I am afraid that it will be a surprise, so I took the opportunity of developing tourism, formulated a plan to install an elevator on Mount Everest, and sent my company's employees Qin Yingzhou and Qiao Zhiyu to discuss the demolition with the temple, and I investigated from the secret, but just last night, we intercepted a new radio signal, and after decryption, we learned that the secret hidden in the Lama temple is far more than a signal station......

"We only have five minutes to meet, long story short!" The representative of the US side urged.

"Yes! There is an organization hidden inside the lama temple, I suspect it is a Martian! Ren Zhonghui said.

"What? Martian? Impossible, the survey results of various countries have shown that Martian humans perished in the catastrophe 3,000 years ago, and now there is a dead silence on Mars! The representative of France shouted.

"What if...... Before the Martian catastrophe...... Did they come to Earth? ”

The representatives of the five parties were stunned, obviously, they did not expect this possibility.

"What evidence do you have, what does the declassified information say?" The representative of the Chinese side asked.

Ren Zhonghui paused for a moment and replied: "We can only decipher the part, and we can know an approximate part intermittently, and the information says - 3,000 years of waiting...... Colonist One...... Looking forward to the reboot! ”

The representatives of the five parties looked at each other.

"Also, the encrypted message was sent from my company's space base, and it should be the spy who wrote the hidden code!"

"Get this spy out as soon as possible! Otherwise, cancel the agreement! The representative of the US side shouted loudly.

The representatives of the five parties began to discuss through the internal communicator, and Ren Zhonghui could not hear what they were saying.

After a while, the Chinese representative turned on the communicator to Ren Zhonghui: "10 days to find out the Martian spy!" Can it be done? ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Ren Zhonghui didn't dare to hesitate for a second, and replied loudly.
