412th traces from the engine

Liu Bo's voice was conveyed to the ears of everyone who was paying attention to the opening of the box at the scene along with the communication system.

After a moment, another voice rang out: "It's normal to have an explosion on an asteroid, right?" ”

"No, this asteroid comes from the asteroid belt, and according to the current hypothesis, whether it is derived from the 'star' theory or from the theory that a planet was torn, there will be no such impact marks, but tear marks. Unless it is impacted by another asteroid and it explodes......"

"But there will be impact marks, and the asteroid will probably disintegrate." Liu Bo took a few steps back and shared his vision: "Mr. Ye, what do you think?" ”

……

At Xichang Aerospace Center, Ye Ming and Director Zhang were watching the scene open the "blind box".

For this asteroid, the significance of capturing it is far greater than the ability to use it, so the blind box is opened...... Actually, it's just a joke.

Everyone didn't expect to find anything on this asteroid, such as Nine Heavens Darkiron or Vibranium.

When they heard Liu Bo say that there were traces of an explosion on the asteroid, everyone, including Ye Ming, said that it was a bit impossible.

Hearing Liu Bo ask himself at this time, Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "I'm terrible at geology, but Aita should be okay, in this way, don't destroy it first, do surface research first, and I'll let Aita build a model and analyze it." ”

"Okay."

After Ye Ming finished speaking, he opened the notebook and summoned the Aita system, and after thinking about it, he called Yin Ta in his mind again.

"Yinta."

"I'm here, in class."

"It's not Chagang, you connect to Aita, and then do a comprehensive analysis of the surface traces of the asteroid captured this time to see if you can deduce the cause."

"Okay......

While Ye Ming was communicating with Yin Ta, his subordinates were not idle, he kept typing to tell Ai Ta about his analysis requirements.

——Because the asteroid capture project is observed throughout the process, and in the system setting, the videos and pictures of this kind of scientific research project will be unconditionally retained for a certain period of time, and even permanently after manual intervention.

Yin Ta was very fast, and she replied immediately.

"Based on the pictures, the state of the D-plane can be determined, consistent with the traces of the impact force of the explosion."

"Are you sure it's an impact?"

"There are no signs of impact."

As Yin Ta's voice fell, Aita gave the exact same answer.

In the conference room, everyone looked at the modeling structure on the screen, and fell silent.

……

A day later, the multi-thousand-ton asteroid was hoisted again by the Invitation Moon and carefully flipped over.

In front of countless geologists, explosion tracers, and physicists, the "bottom" where it first landed on the moon was completely exposed.

If the traces of the blast wave on the side can be guessed, then the almost visible layer of melted bare metal on this side is an unabashed report of what happened to it.

Or, it crashed into a big guy, and the violent collision did not cause it to disintegrate, but it had the effect of melting the metal - which is impossible.

Either that, it was hit at a distance by a high-temperature, high-energy bomb, such as a nuclear bomb.

Either...... The bottom of it was hit by the ship's high-velocity jet.

……

In the conference room, everyone looked at Ye Ming.

Although Ye Ming claimed to have no understanding of geology and explosives, he was a physicist and understood mechanics.

Ye Ming pursed his lips and looked at the inquiry sent by Director Niu in the window of the notebook, and he exhaled softly.

"Through genetic modeling, I'm more inclined to believe that it was formed by a high-speed jet stream of spacecraft."

Ye Ming said and released a simulation animation completed by Yin Ta.

The animation is crudely done, with only one engine nozzle against an asteroid of the same size and texture.

When the final engine output reached 20,000 megawatts and the asteroid was located at a distance of about 50 meters, the surface phenomenon caused by the jet reached a 95% match with the surface of the captured asteroid.

Don't think that this is less than 100%, in this kind of simulation, it can almost be considered "perfect restoration".

In the conference room, there was silence again.

After half a ring, Director Zhang finally let out a long sigh.

"Does that mean a spaceship has ever been to the asteroid belt?"

Ye Ming lowered his eyelids and breathed softly again: "Although...... From a rigorous point of view, we can't be sure that it must be a spaceship or something, but it is indeed the most logical explanation of reality. ”

"Then ......" Director Zhang opened his mouth, half speechless.

The same is true for all of you.

As astronauts and astronomers, there is probably no one in this world who is more looking forward to capturing the information of extraterrestrial civilizations than some theoretical physicists and enthusiasts.

But...... That also depends on the situation.

Man is the most fearless in his ignorance.

When human beings first landed in space and landed on the moon, under the anti-war thinking at that time, they launched Voyager 1 in space - for fear that aliens would not know the location of the earth, and it gave star maps, words, and languages, and made a "gold record" with gold, which was enough to ensure its shelf life.

But with the advancement of technology, especially in recent years, humanity has begun to touch the dimension......

Everyone is cautious about space and extra-civilizations.

Everyone can accept extraterrestrial life, but ...... Ideally, they should be a civilization with a lower level of technology than the earth.

There is no need for humanity to base its security on the "goodwill" of a civilization stronger than itself – humanity can show goodwill to inferior civilizations, but it cannot expect higher civilizations to show goodwill towards themselves.

In short, it is impossible to have the heart of harming others, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable.

This has basically become the consensus of interstellar civilization in recent years.

But now......

However, there is a trace of an "alien spaceship" in the asteroid belt......

You say, how is this going on?

What does this make you think?

At this time, Ye Ming saw Director Niu send a message again.

- "It's not me asking, it's the boss asking, what is the conclusion?" ”

After thinking about it, Ye Ming made a gesture to everyone and directly asked Aita to call Director Niu.

"How so? Is there a conclusion? ”

"The current conclusion, we tend to think, is that it is a trace caused by the jet stream of the engine."

In the conference room, everyone heard the breath of cold breath inhaled by the head of the Y department and Director Niu with his hands and eyes.

After half a ring, Director Niu said in a deep voice: "Don't use this tone, I want you to have a certain feeling." ”

Ye Ming knew that Lao Niu was really in a hurry.

He closed his eyes, and the task of "the remains of civilization" flashed through his mind.

"If you really want me to bet, then I'm going to press it, it's the traces left by a spaceship."
