Chapter 43: The Ruins

Seeing this, Luo Xu was a little puzzled, why did the U.S. political axe implement the Mars base plan so much that it outweighed the losses? Luo Xu is not very convinced by the explanation above that there is no profit to rush to implement a project costing trillions of dollars, and it is not the Cold War period, and the American political axe is not so funny.

The central computer controls and serves the entire base, and it is obvious that there will be a large amount of information in it, Luo Xu did not wait long, Bob found out hundreds of various materials, and they were numbered one by one and presented in front of Luo Xu's eyes.

Luo Xu opened the first numbered file, this is a video material, it seems to be an experimental record, in the miserable white sterilization lamp, the laboratory personnel are indulging in various experimental utensils to dissect the organisms in the sterile glass box, Luo Xu accidentally found that the creature in the glass box is not the alien in the safety box?

Luo Xu couldn't wait to open the second numbered file, and the title "Unidentified Bioform Contact Report" seemed to support his suspicions.

In 2013, NASA's Mars rover accidentally discovered a trace of a suspected artificial creation near Mount Alsia. Over the next two years, NASA sent five unmanned spacecraft to Mars to explore the location of the trail and found a staggering man-made structure beneath the trail, a discovery that stunned NASA researchers.

Soon the insiders of the matter were seriously warned that the matter had risen to the level of second-level severity of the national defense level, and the United States was under the dark water tide, and the specific process Luo Xu guessed that it must be very exciting. Anyway, in the end, this matter did not go through Congress, but the National Security Council obtained congressional approval under a different name to build a research base on Mars.

By 2024, the initial construction of the base will be successful, and in the ruins, researchers have found "eggs" and "miracles" that seem to have signs of life.

"Egg" Luo Xu knew that it was nothing more than hatching that alien creature, but the "miracle" mentioned in the document Luo Xu was a little curious, what was that, to use the word "miracle"?

After flipping through a few documents, Luo Xu finally saw a photo of the "miracle".

"Well, that's kind of interesting......"

Luo Xu showed a hint of interest, in this photo, the so-called "miracle" is a ball about one meter in diameter, the whole is black, like an enlarged version of a black bowling ball.

These are nothing, and it is incredible that this "big ball" is actually floating in the air. That's right, if you look at it from the perspective of this photo, the thing named "miracle" is indeed floating in the air about two meters above the ground.

Excluding the researcher's prank, Luo Xu somewhat knew why the researcher called it a "miracle", but this is absolutely not enough, not to mention this parallel world, even the real world where he is located has many ways to make this "ball" float in the air.

So why do researchers call it a "miracle"?

The next recorded video answers Luo Xu's doubts.

"Record of the effects of contact with unknown life forms (ULF)"

Contact Personnel: 1. Bernardine Keogh, Colonel, Head of the U.S. Aerospace Expeditionary Force Contact Program

2. Gabby Behn, astrophysicist

3. Nanny Keynes, biochemist

4. Rachel Biddles, planetary geologist

5. Laureta Bonfries, Support Officer, Master Chief

6. Carlton Lanning, Support Officer, Sergeant

7. Laurie Avison, Support Officer, Sergeant

8. Angus Duffy, Support Officer, Corporal

9. Norman Madel, Experimenter

"I'm Keogh, the person in charge of this contact program."

In the video, a white man in his forties in a military uniform said solemnly to the middle of the video, then turned his head to a man next to him and nodded, "Dr. Bohn, it's your turn." ”

The camera pans to Bohn, a man in his thirties, his blue eyes glittering with a strange look, as if he was telling something. He nodded slightly, and said calmly: "After twelve days of testing, it has been proved that the 'miracle' is not composed of any known elements, and it is speculated to be a super-heavy element after No. 122. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and touched the cold sweat on his forehead, "No radioactive contamination was detected at the scene, and the elements that make up the 'miracle' are extremely stable superheavy elements, and it is not yet known how long the half-life is." ”

"After a large number of animal contact tests, nothing unusual was found."

"Now there's going to be a human contact test, Norman Mader."

In the snow-white room, in addition to the "miracle" suspended in the air, only 27-year-old Norman Mader, the captain of the Air Force, who volunteered to be a tester, also seemed to have made up his mind, at least judging from the video, his face was calm, and he did not feel uneasy because of the upcoming test.

At the beginning of the test, Madr took a deep breath and opened his palm to touch the "miracle", in the eyes of the people outside, as soon as Mader's hand touched the "miracle", the whole person immediately froze, no matter how the people outside shouted, he remained in that stunned state.

"What happened?" Keogh asked.

"Sir, there's nothing out of the ordinary." Bonfries, who had been monitoring the condition of the instrument, shook his head.

"Something must have happened, are we going to pull him away?" Born asked.

"No, you can't." Keogh vetoed, his eyes solemn: "We're not sure exactly what's going on yet, so no one is allowed to enter the room." ”

"So keep it as it is?"

"Yes, keep it as it is."

Time went on and on, and after five minutes (it seemed like an hour to those outside), the situation finally changed, and Madel, who had been unable to hear the shouts outside, suddenly trembled violently, and then stood there crying and screaming, like a child, like a mentally unsane patient.

Looking at the scene in the room, everyone outside looked at each other, and Keogh shouted into the headset, "Madel, Madel, can you hear me?" What are you doing? ”

Unfortunately, Mader on the other side of the glass did not respond to the shouts in the headset, and lay on the ground screaming heartbreakingly.

"Go in, go in and get him out."

The support personnel had been waiting for a long time, and when they heard the order, they went in and subdued the struggling Mader and got him out.

At this point, the video suddenly stopped, and the screen went dark for a while and then lit up again.

What caught his eye was Keogh's tired face, as if this tough guy was also crushed by unknown pressure, his eyes looked at the screen weakly, opened his mouth and closed it, turned to the suspended "miracle" inside the glass wall, and said tiredly: "The ninth personnel contact failed, the cause is unknown, the subject is mentally disturbed, and it is recommended that the 'miracle' be blocked." ”

"Smack."

The screen went completely black.

Luo Xu came back to his senses, frowned and said nothing, judging from the situation in the video, this "miracle" black ball seems to be an extremely dangerous thing, and the nine people who touched it with his own hands all became mentally ill without exception, and I don't know what happened. And Luo Xu also understands why the researchers want to call this black ball a "miracle", it's not just that it is known that any element is composed, or it is a theoretical super-heavy element in the island of stability, in terms of human technology, not to mention that this unknown element has not been discovered, even if it is found, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle.

The material alone has broken the glasses of countless physicists, right? Luo Xu sighed, if this black ball appeared in the world openly, it would undoubtedly be a magnitude 9 earthquake for the physics community, not to mention the existence of other mysterious ingredients.

Luo Xu asked Bob to back up the useful information, and then connected the surveillance cameras of the entire base, and after the host was restarted, the base was running normally again, and all aspects of the situation were collected by Bob.

"Sure enough, it's all dead......

Luo Xu sighed, there were traces of blood everywhere on the hundreds of surveillance screens, and he was the only one who didn't see a living human. No, if the aliens who were awakened by the lights were human, then there were a lot of them.

"Hey, I said it's been two years, why haven't you monsters been starved to death?"

Looking at the time uploaded by the host, Luo Xu shook his head, he had a strong interest in the so-called "miracle", and really wanted to see it with his own eyes, but unfortunately, according to the information in the information, the "miracle" was finally confirmed to be returned to Earth for study, and it has been transported to the space station on Mars.

"Space station?"

Luo Xu's heart moved, and asked, "Bob, can you link to the space station?" See if there's anyone else inside? ”

“…… The space station has been successfully linked, the damage is bad, and an attempt is being made to repair the ......"

"Ampte/CCEP Star Charging, Wrong Command, Data Modulation Error Recovery Procedure."

"AMPTE/CCER Radiation Accumulation Instruction Processing System 1 Failover to System 2."

"Anike-1P geomagnetic storm, the gyronavigator controlled by the electrostatic discharge measuring wheel has failed, the rotation is out of control, and the backup circuit is activated."

"ERS-1R radiation, SAA proton burst high-current event, and an instrument fails."

"Landsat-4T thermal cycling causes two of the four solar panel cables, which work intermittently or even completely fail, and need to be repaired manually."

"The NIMBUS-7R energetic particle circuit components are damaged, and the data channel is noisy and tends to be saturated."

The data was constantly refreshed in front of him, so that Luo Xu's cold sweat almost flowed out, and it seemed that there were no personnel stationed in the space station, otherwise how could there be so many failures. Under the automatic control of the computer, the space station has had many failures and errors in the past two years, and no one has repaired them, and it is a miracle that it can barely operate under so many accumulated errors.

The errors were quickly scanned by Bob, who began to fix some of the errors.

"All detectors are closed, and after a minute the ...... begins"

"The central data processor changes the p/l state and recovers the ...... within five minutes"

"The on-board computer has been restarted, and the calculation of the orbit ...... will begin soon"

"The equipment is about to be reoriented, and the ground will resend a series of remote control commands."

(In the afternoon, I was coding words in the office, and suddenly the leader came over, and I was scared into a cold sweat, and I immediately decided to alt+tab and quickly switch out, and the leader finally didn't find out.) The situation is critical, comparable to an action movie, the action is so fast, comparable to a thunderbolt and lightning, I shed tears of excitement afterwards, I admire myself too much, I am so witty, I have to be so witty and quick to do things and serve the people! In addition, I have advanced to the second volume of this book, and the difficulty has skyrocketed, and it is very difficult to write compared to the first volume. Anyway, didn't anyone notice the easter eggs I wrote earlier? In addition, some people complain that the previous theory is too idealistic and too civil, first of all, I affirm that I am just an author, holding a neutral position, and I don't understand what the people are not civilian, and its theory is looking for the paper of the famous American biologist Dr. Aubrey Degrey, if someone thinks that the OSS theory, lysosens, amylosens, replenisens or something, don't scold me, I'll learn electronics and electrical, if you want to scold, go and scold the biologist, finally, Present my chrysanthemums for everyone to taste! The taste is tender, fat but not greasy! It's just a little dark. )
