Mars high-altitude orbit, before the forward team sets off.

The second group arrived in Mars orbit four days ago. The current situation is that the four artificial celestial bodies of "Flower", "Mars Express", "Noah" and "Noah 2" are connected together. Regardless of tonnage and volume, they can be compared with the "Tiangong Ring Orbit Star Port".

Before the cooperation between the two sides ends, Americans must obey the Chinese's command in all actions on Mars. In other words, on Mars, Li Xingfeng, the commander, is the boss, and everyone here is under his control, including American astronauts. As long as the cooperation is not over, they must obey the orders.

The price paid by the MS to formulate the "Mars Rescue" plan is quite high. If the investment is exchanged for more than 70 billion yuan, all the weapons of the armed tactical team will be completed by the MS magic modification. The American "Noah 2" can be sent to space in about three months. Even if it is based on the ability of Nasa, no matter how much money it is given, it will not be delivered to it in such a short time.

In addition to other miscellaneous supplies, helping the Americans send astronauts into space, helping the Americans send "Noah 2" to Mars, etc., Nasa invested more than 20 billion US dollars, and ms also exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

Ren Hong originally wanted Nasa to pay more money, but his partner's enemy was "the enemy was on Capitol Hill". The "congressional masters" in the United States could not withstand the pressure of local public opinion. He reluctantly allocated another 16 billion yuan to Nasa, and the remaining 5 billion US dollars were raised by the company and the company.

Some netizens on the Internet have interestingly described that in the eyes of Matrix Technology, the whole world is poor and is considered a rich man. Other companies with market value of the top ten are considered rich at most, while others are poor.

The gap.

There is also a price to fool people. Charles Bor looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. He quarreled for a long time and finally got $10.7 billion in funding from Matrix Technology.

Nasa can act as a rich and technologically powerful person when facing any institution, but when facing a funder like Matrix Technology, he has absolutely no confidence to say that he is a rich person in front of others.

Ren Hong also has no better way. For the long-term strategic goal, he can only let go of blood and help the Americans suppress the treasure first. It will not be so easy to "move" at that time. After all, there is an "ally" "Master of Congress".

Before landing on Mars, the crew members related to it came to the centrifugal capsule of the "Firefire Space Station". Six or seven people were discussing and meeting. Commander Li Xingfeng, Ren Hong's "incarnation" Professor Wang Jiangwang, captain of the armed squad between China and the United States, survivor Duncan Jones and his top paleontology expert Aislin and others were all present.

Basically, all the backbone members to log in this time are listed on the column.

"Everyone, this extraterrestrial exploration mission has been raised from scientific investigation to defense mission, and the threats have been increased again. In addition to dealing with the harsh Martian environment, we must also prevent the security threats that Martian indigenous organisms may pose to us." The commander said to everyone in fluent English.

If you really want to compete for qualifications and abilities, Li Xingfeng is the well-deserved first person here. He should have retired, but the birth of replication technology has extended his career life again. The two oldest American astronauts who came to Mars fought against Li Xingfeng on the "Tianzhou".

Therefore, in this cooperation, the Americans were convinced by Li Xingfeng as the supreme commander.

"It is important to understand the actual situation before landing in the Pezos area." The commander added, and his eyes turned to Duncan Jones, who was rescued, who quickly understood.

Duncan Jones opened the suitcase, which was a personal computer, and it was soon linked to the home screen in the conference room. Everyone turned their attention to the home screen, which were all top secret information, and were limited to sharing by both parties.

"On August 13, 2028, the accident happened on this day. We completed our first landing at the end of June. The first Mars base was built in the Pezos Heights. It developed steadily in more than a month without any accidents until the outpost base was completed on August 11. On the 12th, the "Orion" spacecraft took off for the third time and sent Alex and Dick to Mars. I was ordered to stay at Noah to be responsible for the operation and maintenance work."

"That's right, on the first day of landing on Mars, Skovo accidentally discovered a complete biological bone." Duncan Jones said, and a video suddenly appeared on the main screen, which was the first perspective recorded by Skovo's camera on his shoulder at that time. Everyone watched Skovo throw away the soil layer one by one in the video, and finally showed the complete biological bones.

"Hey man, what are you doing? Do you want me to get the rover down by myself?"

"You'd better look at this!"

"This is……"

"If nothing unexpected happens... Martian creature! A Martian creature that has not been dead for a long time can be preliminarily judged from the color and texture of the bone. It should die in about three years. It may be longer or shorter, but it will not have much floating. It has not had any petrification phenomenon yet."

Ren Hong hugged his arms and raised his head to quietly watch the conversation between the two Mars landers on the main screen. At this time, Duncan Jones pounded on his personal computer a few times. The Vod video ended, and another message was retrieved: "The accident occurred in the middle of the night on the 13th. At that time, there was a small storm in the Pezos area. Although the wind was very fast, the air on Mars was thin. In addition, we have prepared for this aspect, so even if this storm is ten times larger, it will not have much impact on the outpost base. However, at the end of the storm, the signal between the base and the Noah was not very stable, and there was a bad state of intermittent intermittent."

At this moment, everyone looked at Duncan Jones and heard his memories. He looked at everyone and said, "Dick was sent out to check the signal tower. After half an hour, I completely interrupted communication with the ground. At first I was surprised. I called many times and didn't contact me, but I was not too worried. I thought that something was wrong with the signal tower. I never thought that the ground base would be attacked by indigenous creatures on Mars."

"During the communication terminal, I observed the live climate on Mars, especially in the Pezos region. Dust storms are the most threatening thing to us, but there is no sign of dust storm that swept the entire planet, so I went to rest after the routine work."

"It was not until the next day that I still had no news that I really took it seriously. I kept calling ground information, kept calling, and still didn't respond."

"Still..." Duncan Jones' eyes were a little red when he said this. He lowered his head and breathed a little rapidly. Everyone was silent. Duncan Jones had such a reaction and could imagine what he saw later.

The compatriots around him patted him: "Cheer up, it's okay!!"

Jones stabilized his emotions and nodded silently. Everyone looked at him and looked down at the desktop. He could not see his pupils, only his eyelids. Duncan Jones took a long breath and his eyes surrounded everyone again. He pounded on his personal computer a few times. Everyone subconsciously turned to the home screen.

"When the Noah came over Pezos again and the base became like this, I was as at a loss as if I had bad news..."

Everyone looked at the home screen. It was a high-definition picture. The outpost base was in a mess. The ordered solar panels were tilted. Some of them were broken. Several inflatable space capsules were sluggish due to gas leakage. Duncan Jones replaced a picture. Many people felt chill when they saw this. They were fragments of space suits scattered on the red soil.

The American in the conference room exclaimed: "A01202 number, is that...Dick?"

"Oh, God!" Everyone was shocked when he saw Duncan nodding silently. The spacesuit was covered with bloody red stains. This picture shows that Dick was undone by something and torn into pieces. The flesh and blood were gone. To be precise, the body was gone, leaving only fragments of the spacesuit.

Ren Hong looked at the picture carefully, and pointed to the main screen and suddenly said, "That's... burnt? Can the image be enlarged a little? Yes! That location!"

Duncan did as he did.

Ren Hong covered his mouth, stared at it for a moment, and pondered: "It's not like a burning condition, it should be a serious corrosion by acidic substances."

As he said that, Ren Hong looked at Duncan Jones: "His acid corrosive substances on him?"
