Following the Eternal Day Overall Structural Reform Conference.

Notifications are updated daily on the public channels of Eternal Day.

During the few holidays left, the members of Eternal Day Leave were able to keep up to date with the latest announcements and details on the overall structural reforms.

However, for the specific implementation of this policy, it is necessary to wait for the end of the vacation of the members of Eternal Day.

After all, if there are no emergency and special circumstances, Eternal Day will not squeeze everyone's vacation.

It's just that some preliminary work and general outline can already be started at this moment.

When the holiday is over, you can immediately start the work handover and some trivial things.

At present, most of the members of Eternal Day are relatively relaxed.

At this moment, the CNES, that is, the Gallic Center for Space Studies, does not have such a rare relaxation as eternal day.

Or it should be said that the space agencies of several major countries have not relaxed, because they just launched a vehicle to Mars half a month ago.

Although there is still a month and a half before they arrive on Mars, they have been keeping a close eye on the dynamics of this spacecraft during this time.

Because the four-nation joint landing plan on Mars is mainly to develop space technology around the moon, so as to set their sights on a wider space in the future.

In the case that the moon is difficult to approach, the development of space technology has been greatly affected.

But the infinite universe cannot be ignored there, and in the face of the growing threat of the abyss, humanity needs more powerful science and technology.

Space exploration is a necessary step, or catalyst, for the development of many technologies.

The previous joint moon landing plan of the four countries has also completely laid a good foundation for them in space technology, which is enough to support them to try to covet various resources in space.

Moreover, the people's growing material and spiritual needs force them to create a new channel of access to resources.

So the great powers finally chose Mars as an alternative to the moon and became the pedal for human exploration of space.

Therefore, whether the four-nation joint landing plan on Mars can succeed this time has a lot to do with it.

It's not just the Europa-based CNES that keeps an eye on the aircraft.

The other three countries participating in the joint Mars landing program also have a long-term interest in the vehicle and will communicate regularly.

"There is still half an hour to go before the four-nation joint video conference, at which we will receive and review the information that the Mars spacecraft is about to send back."

"We have to hurry, there is not even a single one of these astronomy talents who can fix computers."

In a large conference room at CNES, Tom, who was debugging the projection equipment, said to Jerry, who was debugging the computer next to him.

The two of them, as experts in the four-nation joint landing program on Mars, were sent to CNES by NASA to do some research at this moment.

"Damn, I'd really rather be exiled to the border for a paid vacation because of a secret plan."

"It's okay to be pulled back to NASA to work overtime, why should you be sent to CNES to work overtime."

Jerry sighed helplessly.

He had always worked hard, but for the first time he felt a deep exhaustion.

It seems that it is also going to get closer to the style that Tom's predecessors have always been salted fish.

It's not that the work of CNES is tiring, but that CNES is not professional enough, and he feels a little tired.

The aerospace technology of Mi, Xiong, and Hua decreased in turn, and then compared with the existence of these three countries, it was almost a fault-like gap.

Except for some achievements in the exploration of Jupiter, Europa's CNES is far inferior to NASA in various other technologies and talents, so that Tom and Jerry will be consulted by people from various departments here from time to time.

Most importantly, CNES has been able to achieve some results in the exploration of Jupiter, mainly because most other countries do not explore Jupiter.

Only CNES has a "Juss" probe, carried into space on an Ariane 5 rocket, to explore three of Jupiter's four ice moons, to determine whether their environment is suitable for life, and to observe and record the seismic activity of Jupiter and its moon ice shells.

"It's already a good place, you've been in a place where the highest technology gathers for a long time, and you're just a little unaccustomed to it."

Tom smiled and tried the debugged projector, and then found a place in the conference room to sit down.

Hearing this, Jerry also finished his business a few times and came to Tom to sit down.

"You're pretty fast."

Jerry smiled and lay back in his chair and said to Tom beside him.

"It's just a projector, nothing tech-savvy."

Tom gave Jerry a helpless look.

Come on, he's also a super top student from the Ivy League, a top scholar and engineer who has worked at NASA for many years.

Fixing a projector is really overkill.

"My computer will link the recent image record of the 'Jus' probe, and then project it on the white cloth in front of me."

"Think of it as testing computers and projectors."

Jerry said, tapping a few times on the keyboard on the computer.

Obviously, even if he feels hard, Jerry is still the hardworking guy.

Even when the two of them were transferred to the secret agency in a small town in the western part of the country because of the secrecy regulations, Jerry had been taken by Tom with a slight inclination to learn from his salted fish and enjoy it.

But Jerry is still used to keeping himself busy.

Tom shook his head helplessly.

It seems that when you have time, you have to take this back of your own to find some wild girls, and change things in indulgence and enjoyment.

The two were quiet for a short time.

Data from the Juss probe was received by the computer and projected onto a white cloth.

Because of its iron-rich, fluid core, Europa is the only moon in the solar system with a magnetic field, and the Juss probe orbits around it.

On the white cloth at this moment is a picture of Europa.

It was a barren place.

In addition to this, detailed data such as average density, surface gravity, escape velocity, rotation period, axis inclination, etc.

"It seems that the projector and computer have been repaired."

Tom glanced at the projection on the white cloth and said,

"It seems that no trace of life has been found on Ganymede, and I don't know if life can be found in the ocean below the Ganymede ice cap."

"This plan to explore life can't be a cheating of funds by CNES, right?"

Jerry pouted.

Thinking of Tom's predecessor's favorite thing to do at NASA, I can't help but subconsciously raise such doubts.

However, he didn't care about this matter, and soon stopped thinking about it.

"By the way, Juss just finished shooting on Ganymede today, and it's just my turn to shoot and record Jupiter, why don't you continue to look at Jupiter?"

Jerry looked at the data and the images before turning to Tom beside him.

Seeing that Tom didn't have any opinions, Jerry operated the computer to project the Juss probe's data about Jupiter.

The next moment, the projection on the white cloth changed abruptly.

The largest planet in the solar system is in full view.

Jupiter is the fifth closest planet to the Sun in the Solar System and the largest planet in the Solar System.

The ancients had known about the planet for a long time, and the Romans named it after the main god Jupiter. In ancient China, Jupiter was called the star of the year, and it was said that it orbited the celestial sphere for about 12 years, which is the same as the earthly branch. In the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Qian, the author of the "Book of Historical Records of Heavenly Officials", found that the star was cyan from actual observation, which was associated with the "Five Elements" doctrine, and officially named it "Jupiter".

Jupiter is a giant planet with a mass of one-thousandth the mass of the Sun, but 2.5 times the mass of the other planets in the solar system combined. Jupiter's main component is hydrogen, but helium, which accounts for only one-tenth of the molecular quantity, makes up a quarter of the total mass.

The atmosphere is divided into different zones of latitude, with turbulence and storms at the junction of each other.

The most striking example of this is the Great Red Spot, a huge storm that has not stopped since it was first seen by a telescope in the 17th century.

The size of that storm alone was already beyond the earth's ......

Wait a minute!

What about the big red spots??!!

Jerry's eyes widened as he stared at the picture of Jupiter, which seemed to have changed little, but had actually changed significantly.

He subconsciously switched several photos taken by Jus, but he didn't see the most iconic pattern of Jupiter.

The eye of Jupiter, which had been silently gazing at the starry sky for hundreds of years, suddenly disappeared.

Could it be ...... Did he misremember?

All the astronomical education I received at Princeton was wrong, and in fact there was no such thing as a Great Red Spot on Jupiter?

Jerry had a moment of self-doubt.

Soon, however, he opened the CNES database on his computer and found publicly shared data on Voyager and Galileo.

In the database of the two probes that photographed Jupiter a few years ago, Jerry found that he was not mistaken.

Jupiter does have a big red spot!!

At this moment, Jerry was stunned.

He subconsciously stood up and muttered silently.

Big red spots, where did they go?

Hasn't that thing been around for at least two hundred years, and most likely for a few hundred more years?

But now, why is it gone?

When did such a storm, which is bigger than the Earth, suddenly disappear?

"What are you doing?"

Tom noticed Jerry's movement and looked at him with some confusion.

"Look."

Jerry didn't say much, just pointed to the projection on the white cloth.

Tom looked over and frowned.

Isn't it Jupiter......

Yes?

Yes??!!

Wrong!

"Where's the Big Red Spot?!"

Tom's eyes widened, and he understood the reason for Jerry's sudden movement of standing up and muttering to himself.

The last time Juss photographed Jupiter, it was less than ten days apart, right?

The Great Red Spot suddenly dissipated during the ten days that the Juss was busy with in-depth probing of Ganymede?

How quickly did a storm cyclone of this magnitude dissipate?

Confusion filled the hearts of the two at this moment.

Why, as soon as they start operating the space exploration equipment, they observe special conditions?

Last time they saw someone smash a meteorite with a punch.

The last time they saw the planet engine on the moon.

This time they saw Jupiter's Great Red Spot suddenly disappear.

After being silent for a moment, the two experienced immediately began their respective work with a clear division of labor.

Jerry began to quickly report the discovery to the CNES and NASA, and advised them to inform the Transcendental Research Consortium and the Bureau of Anomalous Countermeasures to investigate the matter further.

According to his intuition, this time I am afraid that it will have something to do with Chao Fan again.

Tom began to apply for permissions in various databases, especially from his hometown NASA and the space base in the Bear Country, to see if they had any recent monitoring records of Jupiter.

There is no place in the Jupiter exploration record that records the whole process of the disappearance of the Great Red Spot.

Some of the more appalling details may be witnessed.

Not long.

Tom was given some clearance from NASA headquarters, and immediately quickly searched for monitoring records related to Jupiter.

Calculations were made based on the observation angles and observation times of all known probes to find a group of probes that might be able to observe Jupiter in the observation screen.

After a long time, Tom found a few seconds of observation of Jupiter in a probe that did not specifically observe Jupiter.

Jupiter is in the corner of this recording frame, not so clear.

But Tom could see a clear light flash across the corner of the frame, striking Jupiter in the corner of the frame and disappearing.

Tom's eyes widened at this.

Sure enough, there was an anomaly!

He glanced at the time in the corner of the frame, just eight days ago!

Tom calculated the coordinates based on this time and the positions of some of the stars in the picture.

The process is not complicated.

Or should it be said that it is not complicated for him, a college student from the Ivy League.

It didn't take long for him to put down the scratch paper and the black pen in his hand.

Tom subconsciously rubbed his temples.

I wanted to say something, but I found that I couldn't speak when I opened my mouth.

A shock flashed through my heart.

According to calculations, the "light" in the corner of the picture hit the direction of Jupiter.

It's exactly the hemisphere where the Great Red Spot is located!

That is, it is likely that eight days ago, a pillar of light suddenly appeared, obliterating Jupiter's Great Red Spot that was larger than the size of the Earth.

What is this concept?

Even Tom and Jerry, who had seen the planet engine at the base of the joint moon landing of the four countries, were still shocked by this discovery.

The planet engine of that time.

Although it looks spectacular, it is actually the size of a Bailey crater.

The sky-high jet was terrifying to watch.

In fact, it can evaporate a lively first-tier city in an instant.

This time, the discovery was different.

Even if you don't see the moment when the big red spot is annihilated by the pillar of light.

But you can still vaguely imagine how spectacular it is.

It was a super anti-storm cyclone.

A hurricane much bigger than Earth.

This is not known how many times bigger than any first-tier city, and it is completely the gap between ants and giants.

If a first-tier city becomes a circle, it will be more than 100 kilometers in diameter at most.

The diameter of the Great Red Spot is 16,000 kilometers.

The jets of the planet's engines on the moon will have no effect on the Great Red Spot at all.

But even if it is such a big red spot, there is a high probability that it will be lost by this pillar of light.

It's hard to imagine what kind of power this is!

It's a fantasy re-enactment!

This is a real planet-destroying power, much more powerful than any nuclear weapon.

So what if this pillar of light reaches Earth......

Will it make the earth the same as this big red spot? In an instant, it became an inconspicuous speck of dust that disappeared in the vacuum of the universe.

Is the end of human history and the history of the planet?

Think about it.

Tom was shocked at the same time.

couldn't help but subconsciously shudder.

Yes, report it immediately!
