Chapter 819: What Should Come Still Comes

The inhospitable Mars has a lot of water rushing out of the terrain, which was formed in ancient times when Mars was still full of water, and it is also the ideal archaeological site for scientists on Earth.

In particular, the gentle "river flats", where a long, long time ago had a gentle current, and were both a good habitat for aquatic life and a good place for terrestrial life to drink.

And often such places are also natural hunting grounds for those carnivorous creatures.

When there was water, it was a place where a variety of organisms thrived, but now that there is no water, it is to dig graves...... Uh, a novice village for archaeology.

Basically, there is a very high chance of finding something good.

“…… Wow! ”

“…… Look, it's there again, now you can directly put together a biological skeleton, and the completion rate has reached 80%! ”

"Do you want to dig now? I can't wait! ”

"Wait, this is a big discovery, try to explore as wide as possible to see if there are any other fossils."

"Well, let's take a look at it again, now we can clearly identify three kinds of creatures by looking directly at the relatively complete fossilized biological skeletons, and there are at least two or five kinds of fragmented bones, and then look at it, how can there be no fossils of aquatic creatures here on the river beach."

"Whatever you say, look, it's a fossilized fish bone, and if you look at the teeth, it seems to be a carnivorous fish."

The archaeological team members gathered together, muttering to their helmet monitors.

Even the detectors on the car transmit the detected information to the on-board computer, which in turn sends this information to their pen computer, which in turn displays the image they want to see on the helmet screen.

In this way, every time a new bone fossil is found, they are happy, and the depression of only a few microbial fossils found in the past few days is swept away.

Perhaps the discovery of microorganisms on Mars is an absolute discovery for those scientists on Earth, but for the people of these Mars expeditions in arc spaceflight, only the fossilized bones of these large creatures are found, and that is called ...... Just got back to basics.

When a large living creature is found on Mars, it will be called a great discovery.

Dong Chen watched the whole process from the side, and he saw these things for the first time, so he didn't have to wait for them to delay the serious report in the group.

However, it was not surprising that he could find these things, after all, he was much more knowledgeable than the average person, and it was not unusual for Mars to have large life in ancient times.

Now that you've found out, let's get to work, what else is there to say.

When you want to return to Earth, why do you have to bring back a few skeletons of Martian creatures, so exciting.

Of course, it is also necessary to ensure that these things are indeed dead, and will not happen like in science fiction movies, and in the end, it is the humans themselves who help the alien creatures invade the earth.

"Let them get to work, we don't have much time, and after sorting out this place, we have to go and see the "pyramid" over there, so as to satisfy the curiosity of the people who eat melons. ”

Dong Chen controlled the robot and said as he looked at the seemingly endless detection screen.

Xu Qingfeng also noticed that although the more fossils they had in their research, the better, but their time was limited, and if they used all of them to dig up fossils here, then their mission progress would not reach 100%.

So in this case, digging up a part of the fossils is enough, enough to prove that there was once large life on Mars.

These fossils are enough for them to study a lot of information, and as for the others, it's not too late to dig them up when they come back next time, anyway, no one else on Mars will come, and no one will steal them.

"Okay, chairman," Xu Qingfeng next to him nodded and said, "I also feel that the number of these fossils is about the same, and we can't dig them up if we explore more, and there are already a lot of rock samples stored on the spaceship, and there may be no place to put any more." ”

After saying that, seeing that they were still there staring at the display screen with wide eyes, not wanting to miss any bone fossils, Xu Qingfeng turned on the communication channel and said, "Okay, let's finish the scan." ”

"Watch the time, we only have a few days left on our mission, and when the excavation is over, we still have to go to the pyramid landform to have a look, we can't stay here for too long."

"Let's start digging now, or we won't be able to dig up all of them, even if we find more of them."

Hearing Xu Qingfeng's words, they immediately reacted, and they were a little excited, and they forgot the time of the task.

Especially the one with the "Luoyang shovel", he really wants to dig up all the bone fossils here, even if it is for a month.

Unfortunately, their mission was originally only a month, and there were only a few days left.

"Huh? Got it! ”

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, hurry up and work, and go to the "pyramid" after finishing the work. ”

"Hurry up, unfold the excavator module of the rover, we don't have time, and there are a lot of fossils of the same category, and we are not afraid of any losses, now we don't have time to dig a spade by spade, go directly to the excavator."

"Yes, go directly to the excavator, we have accurate scans, and we are not afraid of damaging fossils, digging with confidence, and when we get close to the fossils, it is not too late for us to change the space engineering shovel."

"Okay, did the old driver hear me, put away the detection device, and then the car turned around and turned over here, let's study how to dig."

"I think it's good to start here......

Seeing this scene, Dong Chen, who had been watching the excitement from the side, also joined the team.

Mars is the most similar planet to the Earth in the solar system, Dong Chen confirmed that there must have been life on it, but now that Mars is like this, he is also happy to dig out a "thigh bone" from the mound of earth to see what this Martian creature looks like.

But before he could do much work, a message from Number One forced him to give up on such thoughts.

"This is special, it's really not worry-free, I thought they could make me worry from now on."

Secretly complained, Dong Chen and Xu Qingfeng said hello and went offline to return to Earth.

After disconnecting, Dong Chen took off his helmet and asked No. 1, "What's the matter?" Why did the asteroid suddenly get out of control, wasn't it okay before? ”

"The United States has succeeded once before, and this time it should be more handy, why did it go wrong?"

"It's not clear yet, and the United States is also looking for the reason." Number One replied calmly.

Dong Chen touched his head in annoyance, "Is there a surveillance video from the United States Space Agency?" Put it out. ”

"Yes, sir, there's surveillance video."

As he spoke, No. 1 unfolded a holographic screen in front of Dong Chen.
