After being exiled, I became a star boss

"Lost contact?" Nord frowned.

The Noites did not deploy satellites in orbit around Mars, and the communication method between the mothership and the cruisers was through electromagnetic waves.

The communication mode of electromagnetic waves can be simulated in this way: the tower calls Gliese, and please answer when you receive it—or vice versa, Gliese calls the tower, and please answer when you receive it—everyone uses the same communication frequency.

If Gliese does not respond to the call, or does not actively call the tower, then the mothership cannot track Gliese.

The Gwats did not join the Noyts' consciousness-sensing network.

This meant that Nord had no access to Gliese's conscious space, no contact with him, and no access to his smart companions—who valued their privacy more than their lives.

"Carl, where did Gliese end up?"

"Captain, I contacted him last night about the detection of mineral resources on the planet Tenet. Gliese contacted the tower this morning, and he will conduct exploration in the Olympus Volcano area. But since then, he has not responded to the tower. call."

"Caroline, I want to see the details of Mount Olympus."

The [-]D radar screen in the cockpit on the eighth floor shows the [-]D image of Mars with the Martian core as the frame of reference. The Planetary Explorer is approaching the Antarctic ice cap along an elliptical orbit, and Mount Olympus is located in the wasteland near the equator in the southern hemisphere .

Another split screen starts showing historical exploration data on the Olympus Volcano area.

Caroline's beautiful voice began to introduce, "There are five shield volcanoes in the Olympus Mons area, of which Olympus Mons is the highest at 35 Earth kilometers. Based on past exploration results, Olympus Mons has fallen asleep In the past one million years, plasma scanning has found that a huge collapse has formed on the top of the mountain, and there may be volcanic caves inside the mountain."

Nord looked at the crew members surrounding him, "Guys, I think Gliese needs help, we need to send an aid team," his eyes slowly swept across the different faces in front of him, there was Noites, Gwats, and Manuans.

"I wonder who would want to bring them back?!"

In the cockpit hall, the crew members raised their hands one after another.The Neuts, the Gwarts, the Manuans, and John Lyle, who was in charge of propaganda.

"Let me add that Gliese is very likely in a volcanic cave, which is a high-temperature and oxygen-deficient environment"

The Noytes, who hated the high-heat environment, showed hesitation on their faces, and slowly retracted their raised hands-if it was changed to the icy cold environment like the Antarctic ice cap, they would not hesitate, but the volcano cave?
The Gwat's hand was still raised and that John Lyle.

Nord's eyes turned cold for a moment, and he looked at Xiao Xiao who was wearing a Manuva leather jacket without blinking, and smiled. "John, I'm glad you're going."

Another manua - Tasia hands up, and Heather.

Tasia and Heather walked to John Lyle, "Captain, Tasia is the pilot of the spaceship, let's go with John."

Nord's eyes fell on Mega, the Gwat man looked excited, his small brown eyes widened, and there was a light of desire in them, "Mega, you go together."

Mei Ka whistled and rubbed her short hands excitedly.

Nord looked at Heather, "Heather, you are brave, but we have enough men."

"Nord," Heather said loudly, "I'm an interstellar biologist, and I'm familiar with diverse environments. With me, I can provide more valuable help."

Nord knew why, because he picked John Lyle, this silly sister, did she fall in love with Xiao Xiao?

Perhaps, he shouldn't have brought Xiao Xiao onto the spaceship, let alone let Heather know about Xiao Xiao's past!

"Heather, notify the mothership as soon as you get his location. We can send new cruisers to support you at any time."

Xiao Xiao, Heather, Tasia and Meca formed the first echelon of the rescue operation. This team is composed of Noites, Manuans, Gewats and Earthlings. It can be regarded as an interstellar rescue team. detachment.

They entered the black capsule spaceship driven by Tasia - Black Panther, which was Tasia's code name for the spaceship.

Tasia sat in the driver's seat, and Xiao Xiao directly sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Xiao Xiao thought about learning how to fly a spaceship, but Yun Qi wanted to fly a spaceship back to Earth, and Xiao Xiao was eager to drive a spaceship to explore the vast universe. He can start a free space journey.

The spaceship did not depart immediately.

The Black Panther's ballistic calculation module was running at high speed, and the radar screen in the cockpit, according to the solar system standard and using the sun as a reference, displayed the elliptical orbit of Mars around this young star—you can think of it as a horizontal direction.

We will see that the eight planets of the solar system are almost on the same plane.

The planets of different colors have different sizes and slightly different tilt angles. Except for Venus, the others all move around the sun counterclockwise from west to east.

Of course, due to the distance from the sun and the difference in eccentricity, their speed of motion follows Kepler's three laws.

Mars takes 686 days to revolve around the sun, while Earth takes 365 days.

When these two neighbors are moving around the sun, sometimes one is at the end of the elliptical orbit, while the other is at the other end of the elliptical orbit, looking at each other far away, with a maximum distance of more than 4 million kilometers.

The earth is running faster, snorting and catching up with the footsteps of Mars, which is a catch-up problem.

They were closest when they met, at a distance of just 5 million kilometers—the orbits of the planets around the sun.

The elliptical orbit of the mothership moves around Mars counterclockwise in the vertical direction. The perigee of the Planetary Discovery is close to the Antarctic ice cap. Once the mothership reaches the perigee, the Panther will accelerate and cut into the Mars transfer orbit, along Inclined parabola to Olympus Mons.

Panther's automatic navigation system gives two ballistic route suggestions based on the coordinates of the Olympus Mountains:
——The cost-effective route will fully consider the gravity of the planet, the direction of rotation, the speed of rotation, the direction of revolution, the speed of revolution, the eccentricity of orbiting the sun, etc.

The Planetary Discovery is in an elliptical orbit around Mars. Considering the perigee and apogee, the spacecraft needs to wait until the Planetary Discovery reaches the perigee of Mars. At this time, it is the most energy-efficient to leave the Planetary Discovery and enter the Mars transfer orbit. .

——Low cost-effective route. For urgent missions, there is no need to consider the perigee factor. The life of the crew is more important than energy. Directly set the coordinates of the target position and calculate the ballistic route based on various parameters.

Xiao Xiao was floating above the driving dashboard, studying various control instruments in the cockpit.

Tasia, a brown mermaid, sits in the air, enjoying Manois hot and sour chips, and Heather, reclined in the air, reading a paper book with one arm sticking out her head.

And Mei Ka's big potato figure was leaning against the porthole, excited about this mission.

He's not the guy who just beats on a bunch of machines all day long, but a member of the first echelon of interstellar rescue—this is the first echelon!Even the Noitt men flinched.

Heather closed the book, "I think this rescue operation lacks a captain, and I suggest John to be our captain."

Tasia raised her hand without thinking, "Agree, 1 agree!"

Mei Jia was a little disapproving, "This time we are rescuing the Gwat people, shouldn't the Gwat people be the leader?"

Xiao Xiao hooked one leg to the pillar of the cabin roof, turned his head down, and raised his hand. It was a little funny, the direction of the hand was downward, but it didn't prevent him from expressing his opinion, "I totally agree."

Tasia blinked at Mecca with her big black eyes, "The minority obeys the majority, this resolution is passed."

Caroline's sweet voice came to my ears, "The control tower called the Panther, and the Planetary Discovery arrived at the Antarctic ice cap and was allowed to take off."

Xiao Xiao rolled over with a somersault and sat on the acceleration couch, "Members, you must respond quickly to the captain's orders and absolutely obey them. Now, Tasia, let's go!"

The Panther slowly slid out of the mooring position and reached the mooring cabin.

The big mouth of the Planetary Explorer opened, and the panther slid out, and it was completely weightless in an instant—like falling into the deep dark elevator shaft. Then, with a strong sense of acceleration, the capsule spacecraft flew into the distance like an arrow off the string. go
Outside the fan-shaped porthole, in the endless starry sky, a huge fiery red planet hangs in the sky.

On the radar detection screen, according to the standard of the solar system, with the starting coordinates as the origin, a virtual parabolic trajectory points to the southern hemisphere on the surface of Mars—the Olympus Mountains, a giant on the ancient plain.

Heather said, "I'm wondering where Gliese is? Gliese is likely to have explored Olympus Mons, and the surface of the mountain is covered with cooled volcanic lava, so it is difficult to have any valuable targets ...According to Nord's conjecture, he may be in a volcanic cave, which also explains why he lost contact with the mothership. But Mount Olympus has a radius of 30 square kilometers, and any place is likely to hide With volcanic caves, we'd better be able to calculate the most likely places in advance before searching."

Tasia looked at Big Potato, "Mega, is there any way for the Gewats to communicate with each other? For example, the Noytes have a conscious sensory network, you guys."

Meca shook his head. The Gewat believe in privacy protection, and they cannot tolerate someone who can enter the consciousness space at any time.

Xiao Xiao thought for a while, "I believe that once the Panther is close to the volcanic area, the radar detection of the Black Panther can search for Gliese's spaceship. As for Gliese - it should be not far from the spaceship. So let's find the spaceship first, Then go find Gliese."

"Agreed." The other three team members said one after another.

"The spaceship behind will be driven by a black panther, everyone can rest," Xiao Xiao activated his consciousness partner, and quickly calculated the landing time. The radius of Mars is [-] kilometers, and the distance from the perigee to the surface of Mars is nearly [-] kilometers. According to the two gravitational accelerations, "we still We have four hours to reach the destination."

"Yes, Captain!"

When the first ray of sunlight shines on the ancient southern plain in the morning, the black capsule is like a small black dot in the indigo-colored sky, floating soundlessly over the fiery red land.

The three-dimensional coordinates in the cockpit show the electromagnetic signal coverage area with the dark green grid lines as the background and the black panther as the center.

"Tasia, Mount Olympus is basically a circle. In order to ensure that there is no omission, we start from the periphery to complete the scan in a circular motion, and finally reach the crater. And, I guess Gliese should be in the crater area." Xiao Xiao said again, "Tasia, when we were scanning the volcano area, let the panther call Gliese continuously."

"Yes, Captain."

"Captain, we can fly as close to the ground as possible. The spacecraft has a built-in positioning device that can continuously send radar indication signals within fifteen earth days. As long as it is within the radar detection coverage area, it can be found."

"Very well, Tasia - keep the flight altitude 800 meters above the ground."

Heather walked in, "John, Meca and I are starting to prepare for entering the cave."

Tasia switched to the mode of manually piloting the spacecraft, the flight altitude was lowered, and the capsule spacecraft began to make a circular motion around the huge crater.Radar detection has set an early warning, and if a suspicious target is found, an alarm will be issued.

They are currently on the edge of the volcano, Olympus Mons like a giant lava pot cover over the fiery red ancient wasteland.

The jagged edge is raised almost 3000 meters overall.

Close your eyes and imagine the red lava gushing from the crater during the volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago.

It's like a huge pustule growing on the surface of Mars' body, and the pus flows out continuously along the low-lying areas on the surface of the mountain, and gradually condenses.

During the next cycle of volcanic activity, fiery red lava spews out again, forming another layer of solidified lava on top of the previous solidified lava.

Time and time again, after billions of years, the tallest mountain in the solar system has been piled up.

Xiao Xiao stared intently at Mount Olympus in front of her.

When he took the little dolphin to Maris City, he looked at the fiery red giant from a distance.

The giant's body was also covered with a thick layer of pink glaciers, which shone lavender in the bright sun.This time he could finally get close to it, hug it.

Panthers circle the honeycombed volcanic belt.

Gliese's spaceship is a silver capsule-shaped flying object. On this land, the spaceship is highly recognizable. Even if no electromagnetic wave signal is received, as long as they can see the flashing bright spots, they can still find it like a needle in a haystack. Screen out.

Time passed by, and no suspicious caves were found on the outer mountain.

No electromagnetic signal received.

There were no sparkling dots found under the sun.

Complete the outer circle, enter the inner circle, and continue scanning.

The basalt on the mountain has been covered by pink glaciers, making it more difficult to identify silver and pink.

no electromagnetic signal
No signs of life.

The spaceship arrives at Olympus Crater.

A fiery red abyss with red mist rising suddenly appeared in front of them.

John blew a low whistle, and the four of them looked down, dangerous peaks flickering in the smoke, strange rocks, and red mist rising from the abyss with claws and teeth. It was impossible to see the bottom at a glance. Fairyland is like a ghost.

Everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, the three-dimensional radar completed the terrain scan - this is a volcanic basin with a vertical depth of 3000 meters, formed by the collapse of solidified lava on the top of the mountain.
