Duncan. Jones shook his head repeatedly: "It's impossible, we did bring a substance with an acidic solution for the expedition, but the degree of corrosion is absolutely impossible to cause such high-intensity damage to the spacesuit, if it is an acidic corrosive substance." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"If you want to get a definite answer, you can only go to Pezos and conduct a field survey." Said one of the attendees.

"What else is important?" Ren Hong asked.

"Yes!!" Duncan. Jones nodded slightly, his hands quickly tapping on the keyboard of the personal computer for a moment, he motioned for everyone to look at the main screen, and said, "These high-definition images were taken by Observer 5 that night, and there will be round-the-clock monitoring for the next month. ”

In Duncan. Under Jones's operation, the picture is constantly magnified, and the faint light is coming on, the intensity is not very high, it is the light source generated by the base, but there is a fainter blue-white light not far from the perimeter of the outpost base.

"Lightning?" Everyone looked at each other puzzledly.

Duncan. Jones took control of the PC again: "You're looking at this!" ”

As he spoke, the actual image was transformed into a thermal image, and everyone was shocked when they saw it, and several pale red outlines appeared in the image, and they knew exactly what it meant, Duncan. Jones continued: "This is more than 20,000 photos taken by a 128-frame HD camera in 3 minutes, and these are captured at different times, see? The heat is moving, it's moving closer to the base, see that heat? The silhouette of the human body, he is Dick! ”

Everyone looked at each other, Duncan. Jones stopped, the picture presentation was still going on, the two heats approaching Dick's range at different times, and Dick himself was moving, and in a few moments, the three heats converged, and then more and more heat converged, and completely submerged Dick.

Everyone knows that Dick was dismembered and eaten by Martian creatures, a chilling scene.

In the direction of the outpost base, the hatch suddenly opened, and a new heat came out, it was the outline of a human body, it must be one of the three of Algernon, Skovo, and Alex, as the image frame number advanced, he began to run towards the base, but his speed was too slow, and he was overwhelmed by several heats as soon as he arrived at the hatch, and then more and more heat wandered around the base, crawling all over the base......

Duncan. Jones looked at the crowd, "They attacked them at night, and none of the members of the base were defenseless. ”

"Is there any more information?" Ren Hong asked. The other party shook his head: "No, this is all the information I know, but Pezos's outpost base must have it, if the data reserve and the black box were not destroyed, the accident that happened that day was definitely filmed and recorded." ”

"It seems that we still have to land on the surface to get important information, but fortunately, we have brought an armed tactical team and our safety is guaranteed." The commander said in a deep voice: "Licheng this landing mission, you serve as the defense commander of the squad, and Blake you as the deputy......"

Li Xingfeng gave the tasks one by one, and after the meeting, Ren Hong was removed from Duncan. Jones copied a copy of the data and began to study it on his own, and throughout the day he watched Duncan over and over again. Data provided by Jones.

He finally discovered the unusual taste, and Ren Hong immediately put down the matter at hand and immediately met with the commander Li Xingfeng.

"Professor Wang, what is the matter with me?" As soon as the two met, Li Xingfeng smiled.

"Sir, I've found very useful information that may be of great help to this landing." Ren Hong said.

Li Xingfeng immediately paid attention to it when he heard it: "What information?" ”

When Ren Hong heard this, he immediately called up a screen for the other party to watch, and explained: "Yesterday, I learned from Duncan. Jones copied a copy of the data and went back to study it, and I found that Martian creatures had an interesting thing in common. ”

"What do you have in common?" Li Xingfeng looked at him curiously.

Ren Hong nodded slightly: "You see, this is the data from the 13th to the 19th, from the beginning of the attack on the outpost base, the United States' Observer 5 has been monitoring Pezos until now, but those unknown Martian creatures have not appeared since the 20th, as if they have evaporated, and the specific reason is unknown." However, during the 13th and 19th, they never appeared during the day, and were always nocturnal. ”

"Professor Wang, you mean, they don't move during the day?"

"It's not clear, there is too little data to make a conclusion, but it's very likely."

"Oh?"

"Commander, you see, this is the monitoring data of 'Observer 5' during the week of Martian biological activity, and I found that they have one thing in common even when they are active at night, you look at their activity patterns, almost every heat is kept at a distance from the lights at the outpost base, there are cameras in these places, you look at all the signs of their activity this week......"

As he spoke, Ren Hong looked at Li Xingfeng: "They seem to be afraid of the light!" ”

"Afraid of light?"

Ren Hong looked at the data on the display panel again and said: "You see, on the 13th, the last creatures to leave the outpost base were all before dawn, and the first creature that first appeared on the 14th was also after dusk, plus some trace evidence before, I can roughly infer that this kind of creature should be afraid of high-intensity ultraviolet rays or cosmic rays." ”

"I still can't understand how these indigenous creatures can move on the surface of the Martian atmosphere, which is 95% carbon dioxide, they attacked the outpost base, they ate Dick, maybe everyone, so they are carnivorous creatures, but Mars has nothing, what do they eat?? How do they replenish calories? What do you rely on to sustain life activities? How can they survive in such a harsh environment? None of this is clear, and only biological samples can be obtained for analysis. ”

"Based on the limited information and inferences available at the moment, then there is only one explanation." Ren Hong said firmly: "They live under Mars, and it is precisely because of the harsh surface environment of Mars, the frequent raging wind and dust storms, the thin atmosphere and magnetic field are difficult to resist the deadly rays from the sun, and the only place that can avoid these fatal injuries is the underground of Mars." ”

"Your information is important." Li Xingfeng muttered: "If it is true as you say, then this mission has a higher guarantee, as long as it is no longer on the surface for the night, it should be safe." ”

"So Commander, I'm asking to be part of tomorrow's landing." Ren Hong said.

"You?" Li Xingfeng glanced at him differently, and immediately shook his head in denial: "No, no!" It's too dangerous, you can't go until it's safe to do so, and I can't explain if you're a national treasure, no! ”

Ren Hong suddenly became anxious when he heard this, "Commander, it's not as serious as you said, it's very safe during the day." ”

"No! You can't go to the first landing, and it's the second time you want to land. Li Xingfeng shook his head again and again, there was no need to talk.

"Hey, no, let a bunch of sloppy soldiers go down and get useful information? It's okay to fight monsters, but it's not nonsense to engage in scientific research! ”

"No, what's that American woman, what's it called? Aisling, right, is a scientist, and is said to be a top biological expert, so why not let the Americans go down, and use so many scientists? Besides, our astronauts also have a huge number of skills, how can we say that they are GIs! ”

"You also said that you are Americans, and Americans are outsiders!"

"Brother, you have to figure out that I didn't come all the way from Earth to see the red Martian skyline from the space station, and now is the time for me to play a vital role, otherwise what's the point of me coming here? I'm a planetary, a geologist, and bioengineering are also in the scope of my involvement, and I can do things that GIs can't handle, and Lao Mei wants to make it obvious to GIs who are only familiar with Type 025 rifles? Maybe there are dangerous places for us to go first, only I can see this. ”

"The tactical team is responsible for defense, and those of us who are engaged in research are responsible for scientific investigations, besides, can the indigenous creatures of Mars block bullets? We have advanced weaponry and scientific instruments, and we are not defenseless ...... like the Americans."

Ren Hong's painstaking persuasion finally made the commander move, and in the end, it took a lot of effort to finally move the other party.
