Origin of Mars

Chapter 24 Humanoid Form

"What did you say in the news?! They have already created armed equipment?!"

Early in the morning, as soon as Yu Han arrived in the control room, he rushed to the researcher on duty and shouted excitedly before he even put down his bag.

"Yes, Chief Engineer Yu."

The researchers were obviously taken aback by him, and quickly tuned out a video from the early hours of the morning.

It was the time when the sun had just risen on Mars. The lander Xiaohua adjusted the angle, climbed over a hill, and reached a certain high point.

It has just returned from surveying the remains of a mountain, and this location just happens to have a bird's-eye view of this spectacular base of origin.

Until the soft and gentle light sprinkled from the sky to the land, a giant with a slightly drooping head appeared from the shadows. The sunlight reflected its ghostly side face.

The giant stood there quietly, oppressing the entire land.

Yu Han only felt as if a pair of big hands were tightly grasping his heart, and a coldness rushed from his spine to his forehead, which lasted for a long time.

"Are you sure it's an armed device?"

After a long time, Yu Han took a few mouthfuls of hot water and asked weakly.

"The high probability is that these giant robots did not participate in various tasks, but just stood there quietly, like soldiers stationed." The researcher hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "And in this base, found More than this giant robot."

good guy.
Yu Han shook his head with a wry smile, got up and patted the researcher on the shoulder.

"Thanks for your hard work."

I have to say that what Yu Han feared the most finally happened.

This alien civilization has set out to create an armed force.

In just two months, from a small mine to a base with such a terrifying scale today, Yu Han is one of the people who witnessed the whole process, and he doesn't know how to describe his feelings.

AIM is like a blasphemer peeping at miracles, bold and bold, but Yu Han has his own little thoughts.

The basis he is sure of is: this alien civilization has perfectly transformed the lander and allowed it to pass freely, except for certain areas.

Even though Yu Hanharin and the others were trying to break their heads, they couldn't figure out why.

mercy?Or is it easy?

But from such a behavior, it can be seen that this civilization is not very sharply exclusive.

Two months later, the spacecraft will land in Mars orbit and perform a landing.

Two months of the first stage have passed, and they have produced such a terrifying mechanical giant today.

What will happen in the two months of the second phase?
Yu Han didn't dare, and couldn't imagine going on.

He suddenly felt an involuntary sense of guilt.

"The notice goes on, and a plenary meeting is held. We need to analyze and summarize the results of this stage, and prepare for the next stage of preparatory matters."

Yu Han instructed the researchers, the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, this is his old problem, he would involuntarily shake his hands when he was nervous, but it has become more and more serious recently.

An hour later, all personnel of the AIM fire pick-up plan arrived.

Lin Lu moved all the consolidated documents to the conference table and returned to his seat.

"OK, thanks."

Yu Han nodded at him, exhaled, glanced around, and said slowly:
"Everyone, we are now going to conduct a summary analysis of the first phase of the Fire Pickup Plan."

"I admit that this may be the most difficult and confusing time you have ever spent in your life. I am very grateful to you. AIM is a whole. From top to bottom, it is everyone's efforts to make that manned rocket go Mars!"

Yu Han's energetic voice aroused applause.

Scholars and staff members stood and applauded one after another, and the whole conference room was suddenly bustling.

As the supreme commander, even though Yu Han still has many doubts in his heart, at this moment, he must show an indomitable drive to move forward.

Afterwards, he smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, moved the mouse, and document reports appeared on the projection screen behind him.

"Now, I personally think that we already have a very full understanding of this civilization. In terms of image data, our lander is transmitting relevant data back almost every moment, which is a very precious asset. wealth."

"It is also these precious data that provide a sufficient reference for our landing plan."

"Next, we will enter the second phase of the fire picking plan, where you can express your opinions."

Yu Han's speech ended.

A few minutes later, Lin Lu sorted out his temporary manuscript and turned on the microphone in front of him:
"Seniors, hello, I'm Lin Lu, and I feel very honored to be the first to speak."

"During this period of time, I have been following my teacher and have learned a lot from the seniors."

"As part of the survey department, I currently have two proposals:"

"First, we should think clearly, if a manned spacecraft enters the orbit of Mars, will this civilization respond, or what will they do?"

"I don't think that just because they modified the lander, they are absolutely friendly."

"Blue Star and Mars are separated by tens of millions of miles. This distance may also represent the technological gap between us and this civilization."

"Second, if the manned spacecraft successfully lands on the surface of Mars and contacts this civilization, how will they communicate with them?"

"This concludes my speech, thank you."

Amid the rising applause, Lin Lu smiled modestly, nodded, and turned off the microphone.

Yu Han looked at his favorite student with satisfaction, and applauded symbolically.

Indeed, during this period of time, he has seen Lin Lu's growth.

From the panic at the beginning to the calm and independent attitude now, Yu Han is very satisfied.

He is nearly fifty years old, has no children, and completely regards Lin Lu as his own child.

"Okay, Lin Lu's speech is very targeted and to the point."

Yu Han took the conversation and nodded.

"Yes, that's what I thought at first. Landing on Mars rashly is a very reckless thing."

Haring also expressed his opinion: "But judging from the current international situation, this plan may be the best choice to some extent."

Nothing can be successful casually, the stronger the desire often brings a very heavy price.

Haring knew this well.

"We have installed a whole set of language analysis system on the spacecraft. Astronauts can use this system to identify the system and perform language analysis to a certain extent." A researcher said, "If we can contact that alien civilization, it is our as much help as possible.”

In the face of this unknown civilization, even these self-proclaimed genius researchers cannot guarantee that their equipment can play a [-]% role.

"Perhaps we can change our thinking."

Haring suddenly stood up from his chair and walked to the presentation blackboard: "When our astronauts arrive on Mars, the first thing they will face will be digging robots scattered all over the place, and they will be controlled by the exoskeleton robot. , are the countless eyes of the robot."

"What the astronauts have to do is to keep as calm as possible, remove unnecessary equipment on their bodies, and express non-threatening behavior."

Haring picked up a pen to write and draw on the blackboard: "It's like a hostage held by gangsters. Although this metaphor is a bit bad, I think you should understand what I mean."

"Keep calm and don't act rashly."

Yu Han added something for Harlem.

"Yes, that's what it means."

Harlem nodded, "We just need to wait for them to decipher our language. I believe this should be a very simple matter."

"Of course, this is based on the current situation. In two months, I don't know what stage this mechanical base will develop again. If there are any anti-aircraft devices, that's another matter."

"There is no anti-aircraft device, and giant robots have already appeared."

Yu Han rubbed his temples and said with a headache.

"What giant robot?"

Harlem's expression was a little dazed. He had a problem when he went out in the morning, and he arrived at the AIM headquarters a little later, but he didn't see the video that the researchers showed to Yu Han.

Until this scene appeared on the big screen behind him, the cold and domineering giant slowly appeared in the sunlight. In people's eyes, this scene was more like a scene in some movies.

"This"

Lin Lu was numb all over, as if he had been electrocuted, waves of extreme excitement were surging in his mind.

"It's unbelievable. Why is there such a design structure? This is more like a mecha shape. Don't you think the concept on it is very similar to the setting on Blue Star!"

Harlem couldn't sit still, his eyes were full of light: "Human-like mecha shape! On countless planets! Even in the entire universe, our speculation about alien organisms has never stopped, but if there is an alien organism Similar to our human appearance, the probability may be as low as 0.00001%!"

"For example, we humans are carbon-based organisms. Suppose the planet where this alien organism lives also has a lot of carbon elements. The two evolved from the beginning, from scratch. As long as there is an amino acid that is not compatible, The paths of the two diverged from there." Haring explained very seriously, "If an alien's elbows and knees are facing backwards, would we still call it a humanoid?"

Harlem's words fell, and the meeting room fell into a brief silence.

This is the best explanation based on scientific concepts. Haring is worthy of being the most senior scholar in the field. In just a few months, he has become an equal existence with Yu Hanping in the hearts of many AIM researchers.

"Then what does this mean? This civilization has come to Blue Star?"

"Perhaps it is said that their original planet is extremely similar to Blue Star? They have also evolved into a humanoid form?"

For a while, after Harlem delivered this persuasive speech, heated discussions began in the conference room.

Indeed, there are considerable possibilities for both theories.

Whether human beings are alone in space is a question everyone will think about.

Searching for terrestrial planets, especially those outside the solar system, and studying their existence and evolution are important tasks for scientists.

There will always be people with extremely similar looks on the blue star, why are there not two extremely similar planets in a universe full of stars.

"I'm more focused on the second statement."

Yu Han, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"If they have ever come to the blue star and seen the form of human beings, it was hundreds of years ago, so why didn't they directly start building on the blue star, hundreds of years ago, when humans had not started large-scale development , the resources on Blue Star are no worse than Mars."

"really."

Lin Lu succinctly agreed with his teacher's point of view.

After a heated discussion, everyone in the conference room still did not reach a consensus.

In the end, it was Yu Han who stopped filming the case.

No matter how much discussion there is, it is nothing but a conjecture based on existing technology.

Only when the astronauts set foot on that land will everything become clear.

Before that, Yu Han couldn't sleep well.

An hour later, the meeting was successfully concluded, Yu Han suddenly stopped Harlem who had just walked out, and called him aside.

"News from the International Aviation Commission."

Yu Han sighed.

"What the hell do they mean?"

"I don't know, but my attitude seems to have slowed down a bit, and I want us to provide all the materials."

Yu Han sneered, "To put it nicely, it's called sharing, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what it means."

"Now the public opinion in the outside world is getting more and more heated, and those reports are really too much."

Harlem shook his head.

The Mars live broadcast on AIM originally caused a lot of controversy.

The topic of aliens on Mars has always been the focus of discussion on the Internet, and those screenshots are still being circulated everywhere.

Now that there are more reports of these bad media, it is simply adding fuel to the fire, lest the world will not be chaotic.

"It's okay, don't let those things affect AIM. The order I got is, no matter what, until the spacecraft lands on Mars, all public opinion reports will be dealt with coldly if they can be dealt with coldly. The media is responsible."

Yu Han's eyes became more and more determined, and his tone was calm.

For him now, and for the entire AIM, what they are after can no longer be compared with money and reputation.

This may be the fate of the entire human race.

"Lin Lu is a very good boy."

The silence lasted for a few seconds, and Harlem suddenly patted Yu Han on the shoulder, "Work hard, have your own opinions, exactly the same as you before."

"We are all old people, old ha."

"Elders can also shine. Don't think that I am old and useless."

"If one day, the plan is successfully completed, where are you going?"

Yu Han leaned against the window of the corridor next to the meeting room, and waited until everyone had left before lighting a cigarette and asking him with squinted eyes.

"Go to my parents' cemetery, buy a small house, find a job that old people should do, if possible."

Harlem smiled. He doesn't smoke, but he likes the smell of smoke very much.

"Great idea."

"Maybe we all have that day."

Yu Han closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

　Thank you brother Meng for the vote
