Technology Bigshot Chapter 575: : Discovery]

……

Duncan Jones shook his head again and again: "It's impossible, we did bring substances with an acidic solution for the investigation, but the degree of corrosion is absolutely impossible to cause such a high degree of damage to the spacesuit, if it is acidic corrosion substances. then.”

"The only way to get the exact answer is to land on Pezos and conduct a field survey," said one of the attendees.

"What other important information is there?" Ren Hong asked.

"Yes!!" Duncan Jones nodded slightly, typing his hands on the keyboard of the personal computer for a moment, he motioned everyone to look at the main screen, and said at the same time: "These high-definition images are 'Observer 5' on that day. Photographed at night, and all-weather monitoring for the next month."

Under the operation of Duncan Jones, the picture is continuously magnified, and a faint light is on, the intensity is not very high, it is the light source generated by the base, but there is a weaker blue-white light not far from the outpost base .

"Lightning?" Everyone looked suspiciously.

Duncan Jones takes control of PC again: "You guys are looking at this!"

Speaking, the actual image was converted into a thermal image. Everyone was shocked when they saw it. Several light red outlines appeared in the image. They knew what it meant. Duncan Jones continued: "This is a 128-frame high-definition image. The camera took more than 20,000 photos in 3 minutes. These photos were captured in different time periods. Do you see it? The heat is moving and approaching the base. Do you see the heat? The outline of the human body, He's Dick!"

Everyone looked at each other, Duncan Jones stopped, and the picture demonstration was still going on. The two heats approached the range where Dick was at different times, and Dick himself was also moving. After a while, the three heats converged in together, and then more and more heat pooled away, completely drowning Dick.

Everyone knows that Dick was devoured by Martian creatures, a chilling scene.

In the direction of the outpost base, the hatch was 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, Scovo, and Alex. Moving forward, he started to run towards the base, but his speed was too slow. He was flooded by several heat just after reaching the hatch door, and then more and more heat wandered around the base and climbed all over the base...

Duncan Jones looked at the crowd: "They attacked them at night, and no one at the base was prepared."

"Is there any more information?" Ren Hong asked. The other party shook his head: "No, this is all the information I know, but the outpost base in Pezos definitely has it. If the data repository and black box have not been damaged, the accident that happened that day will definitely be photographed and recorded. "

"It seems that we still have to land on the surface to obtain important information. Fortunately, we have brought an armed tactical team, and our safety is guaranteed." The commander said solemnly: "Licheng is the defense commander of the team for this landing mission. Officer, Blake, as your second-in-command..."

Li Xingfeng assigned the tasks one by one. After the meeting, Ren Hong copied a copy of the data from Duncan Jones and began to study on his own. He watched the data provided by Duncan Jones repeatedly throughout the day.

He finally discovered the unusual taste, and Ren Hong immediately put down the affairs at hand and met Commander Li Xingfeng immediately.

"Professor Wang, what can I do for you?" Li Xingfeng laughed as soon as the two met.

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

Li Xingfeng immediately paid attention to it: "What information?"

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

"Common point?" Li Xingfeng looked at him curiously.

Ren Hong nodded slightly: "Look, this is the data from the 13th to the 19th. Since the attack on the outpost base, the US 'Observer 5' has been monitoring Pezos until now, but those unknown Mars The creatures have not reappeared since the 20th, as if they had evaporated. The specific reason is unknown. But during the period of the 13th and the 19th, they never appeared during the day, and they were always active at night."

"Professor Wang, do you mean that they don't work during the day?"

"I don't know, the data is too small to make a conclusion easily, but it is very likely."

"Oh?"

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

Speaking, Ren Hong looked at Li Xingfeng: "They seem to be afraid of light!"

"Afraid of light?"

Ren Hong looked at the data on the display panel again and said: "Look, on the 13th, the last creature to leave the outpost base was before dawn, and the first creature that appeared for the first time on the 14th was after dusk. Based on some trace evidence before, I can roughly infer that such creatures should be afraid of high-intensity ultraviolet light or cosmic rays."

"I can't yet understand how these native creatures can operate on the surface of the Martian atmosphere, which is 95% carbon dioxide, and they attacked the outpost base and ate Dick and maybe everyone, so they're meat eaters Sexual creatures, but Mars has nothing, what do they eat? How do they supplement heat? What do they rely on to maintain life activities? How can they survive in such a harsh environment? These are not clear, only by obtaining biological samples for analysis. Come up with specific answers."

"According to the current limited information and inferences, there is only one explanation." Ren Hong said firmly: "They live in the subsurface of Mars, and it is precisely because of the harsh surface environment of Mars, often raging dust storms, thin atmosphere and The magnetic field is hard to resist the lethal rays of the sun, and the only place that can escape these lethal damage is the subsurface of Mars.”

"Your information is very important." Li Xingfeng pondered: "If it is as you said, then this mission has higher security, as long as you don't spend the night on the surface, it should be safe."

"So Commander, I request to participate in tomorrow's landing operation." Ren Hong said.

"You?" Li Xingfeng gave him a different look, and immediately shook his head in denial: "No, no! It's too dangerous. You can't go until it's safe to do so. If your national treasure is out of business, I can't explain it. No way!"

Ren Hong was in a hurry when he heard it, "Commander, it's not as serious as you said. It's very safe during the day."

"No! You can't go for the first time you log in. It's the second time you want to log in." Li Xingfeng shook his head again and again, but he couldn't talk.

"Ah, isn't it, you can get useful information by letting a group of soldiers go down there? Fighting monsters is okay, so it's not nonsense to engage in scientific research!"

"No, what's the name of that American woman? Aislin is right, she's a scientist, and is said to be a top biological expert. It's enough to let the Americans go down, so it takes so many scientists? Besides, our astronauts have mastered a lot of skills, how can we say soldiers!"

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

"Brother, you have to figure out that I came all the way from Earth to see the red Martian skyline from the space station. Now is the moment when I play a crucial role, otherwise what's the point of me being here? I Planetary scientists, geologists, and bioengineers are also in the field. I can handle the things that the soldiers can't handle. If Lao Mei wants to do something bad, only the soldiers who are familiar with the Type 025 rifle can see it? Maybe it's dangerous. Let us go first, only I can see it."

"The tactical team is responsible for defense work, and those of us who do research are responsible for scientific expeditions. Besides, can the natives on Mars be able to stop bullets? We have advanced weapons and equipment, scientific instruments, and we are not as defenseless as Americans. ..."

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