Ruan Lin had a definite judgment about its purpose: it did not act on its own mother civilization, nor was it the ape-man of the time.

It is the only intelligent creature in the solar system that has the ability to discover it that has evolved over millions of years—humans!

But why was the civilization so sure that ape-men would evolve into more intelligent creatures? Are they so sure that humans can fly out of their home planet?

During the development of a civilization, endless wars and horrific natural disasters are indispensable. After developing weapons of mass destruction, it can even destroy civilizations that have lasted for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, if there are other extraterrestrial civilizations that fly out of the home planet, each of them is a lucky star that wins the jackpot.

Ruan Lin, a pure materialist, also wavered at this time: Is this the so-called fatalism? Reminiscent of the previous unprovoked destruction of the Earth and Moon, the current galaxy-level pointer.

Ruan Lin couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Ruan Lin gritted his teeth and made up his mind: as long as the impact time and result of the Airy crater were determined, this calculation condition could be attached, and finally the position of the pointer should be perfectly restored.

The Airy crater is one of the largest craters on Mars, and it is also the youngest crater on Mars.

At present, geoscientists have not determined the age of its formation, and Ruan Lin's task this time is to complete this task.

Ruan Lin guessed that this huge impact, although not enough to destroy Mars, also caused Mars to slightly push out of its original orbit. It is only necessary to determine whether its formation corresponds to a time point of millions of years ago.

By simulating the original orbit of Mars before the impact, the original position of the indicator can be deduced in reverse.

Ruan Lin said calmly: "Wit, accelerate with all your might." Once you arrive at the Airy Death Crater, let the digging robot do the collection work, and you will do the rest of the analysis.

The matter of the meteorite pendant, let's delay the processing later, and now I don't have the energy to dwell on it. ”

"Okay, the center of the crater has a lunar surface coordinate of 18.14°S 5.61°W, and the estimated arrival time is 105 hours," wit replied. ”

Ruan Lin's thoughts were like a wild horse that had already drifted here...

"A breakthrough through the Martian atmosphere is on the verge of being breached. The Airy Death Crater is right below us. Wit woke up Ruan Lin, who was lying on the table.

Ruan Lin no longer had the exhaustion he had before, but instead felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

Human beings cannot imagine the unknown, and there is always a sense of fear when facing them.

Ruan Lin slowly sat up and walked to the main control room.

He could clearly see the spectacle directly below: it was such a huge crater that in the center of it seemed to have been trampled by some kind of huge creature, like the footprints of a Tyrannosaurus rex.

Ruan Lin flipped through all of its historical materials in that second. Around it is a ring of abrasive pit walls with uneven contours, and the north and south ends have been destroyed. The broken edges and inner walls of the ring are densely packed with small impact craters of various sizes.

The remnants of the crater are 1,020 meters above the surrounding terrain at a maximum level, and the internal volume is about 1,120 cubic kilometers. It takes 10.6 volumes of Qinghai Lake water to fill it. In its center there is a central peak about 810 meters high.

It is also surrounded by several craters. But compared to the Airy Crater, they only served as a backdrop.

"We will land on the lowest edge of the crater, which will be 30m above the surrounding terrain," Wit prompted. Its central terrain is too tortuous and complex for hovering landing.

The excavator is equipped with a parachute and hovers as the ship reaches the very center of the crater. ”

Ruan Lin nodded with satisfaction, and the next thing was to wait for the sampling of the excavation robot.

"If the delivery is successful, we will continue to march to the edge."

Ruan Lin said: "WIT, open the central screen, and play the robot's perspective in real time. ”

WIT introduced a central screen, showing a perspective that Nguyen Lin was all too familiar with.

It is about to open its parachute and travel to the very center of the crater.

Ruan Lin looked down from above and didn't really feel the size of the crater.

But from a creature's point of view, the crater looks like a giant beast opening its bloody jaws, and the digging robot is like food being thrown out at the moment.

After successfully landing, it doesn't seem to be used to such rough terrain, and the screen is constantly shaking.

It's like the Grand Canyon on Earth, except that the terrain is more rugged and full of spiky peaks.

Next, the level of shaky of the screen is very uncomfortable. Ruan Lin also remembered that when he was married to the god star, he couldn't move an inch.

At this time, it turned on the electric drill in its right hand and dug deep into the sedimentary rocks deep on the surface.

Then he stretched out his third robotic hand and carefully collected samples.

Ruan Lin turned off the screen: "It's done sampling, now it's time for us to pick it up!" This poor little one. ”

The Titan, which resembles a fighter jet, opens the propulsion on both sides, emitting a pale blue Mach ring.

At this point, the ship broke through the speed of 4km/s and rushed out like an arrow from the string.

After hovering over the robot, WIT manipulated the external manipulator to grab the robot and retract the work.

Subsequent material elucidation will be done independently by WIT.

At this time, WIT also said: "The isotope decay analysis will be completed in 15 minutes. ”

"WIT, it's time for us to return where the indicator is during this parsing as well."

"Okay, it's about to accelerate to maximum speed. Expected to arrive in 6 minutes..."

Ruan Lin returned to the vicinity of the pointer, and it was still lying there without change.

The analysis was quickly completed: "According to the results, the geology of this area changed around 3.2 million years ago, when the asteroid hit Mars. But the impact was not enough to destroy Mars, it only pushed Mars out of its original orbit slightly. ”

Ruan Lin said ecstatically: "In other words, the last calculation was wrong!" It is not the orbit of Mars at the beginning of the indicator's operation. That's what we're missing! WIT, analyzing the impact, deduced the Martian rotation and the location of the indicator 3 million years ago. ”

"Okay, this simulation will take up 41% of the computing power, please wait for the calculation results."

Once again, WIT rewinded three million years and opened the central screen to show Ruan Lin the deduction process.

At this moment, the entire room of the main control room was dyed pale blue.

Ruan Lin turned his head to look: the six flying wings of the indicator suddenly glowed blue at the same time. It rushed out of the Martian surface in a vertical way! It disappeared in less than a second from Ruan Lin's field of vision.

Ruan Lin hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Turn on the engine. Catch up with it! We can't afford to lose track of it. What the hell is it going to do! ”

Wit turned on the ship's engine as Ruan Lin shouted, accelerating with all his might to catch up with it.

Even if the acceleration is to the maximum. Ruan Lin could only see the pale blue aperture at its tail in the screen at this time.

Its speed was so fast that the Titan was thrown away by it for almost 3,000 kilometers.

When Nguyen Lam had just broken through the Martian atmosphere, the trail of the indicator was observed through an astronomical telescope.

It is now orbiting in a geostationary orbit of Mars! It is a circular synchronous orbit located within the equatorial plane of Mars, about 17,032 km from the surface of Mars.

The indicator maintains the same rotation period and direction of rotation as Mars! It's fixed at a certain point.

And this is almost exactly the same as the results simulated by WIT.

At this point, it spreads its six wings, revealing the lower half of its 'sword'.

"Ultra-high power ultraviolet beams detected! Indicates Target Result: Europa. ”
