I was exposed for mining on Mars

(A certain parallel world)

"Good evening, dear viewers, I am Bingbing. Tonight at 8:57 pm is the day when our country's Zhurong Mars probe will land."

"We will send back first-hand information to our viewers as soon as possible."

In the summer of 2021, this important moment was broadcast on most TV stations in China and in the live broadcast rooms of major platforms.

Tonight, China Aerospace will broadcast the first landing on Mars.

On the Internet, the discussion about this live broadcast is also extremely heated.

‘It’s finally here, I’ve been waiting for a long time. ’

‘Will there be Chang’e on Mars? ’

‘You didn’t wake up, did you? This is Mars, not the moon. ’

Not only in China, but also overseas, many people who are concerned about deep space exploration are also watching the live broadcast on the screen through the Internet.

However, compared to the praise in China, their comments are not so friendly.

‘Is this fake? How could it be possible to succeed the first time? ’

‘Maybe a studio? Didn't your lighthouse country use it when they landed on the moon? ’

‘Nonsense, we are serious! ’

With more and more attention from all over the world, the time for Zhurong to land on Mars is getting closer.

But in the Blue Star Aerospace Joint Control Center, the researchers did not show happy expressions. Instead, they all looked at the big screen in front of them in shock.

"Chief Engineer Cao, above, is that the road above?"

In the control room, an engineer in charge of communications pointed at the screen with incredible expression written all over his face.

Not only was the engineer in charge of communications so nervous at this time, but the person next to him whom he called Chief Engineer Cao was also looking at the screen in stunned silence.

"probably?"

On the screen directly in front, the Zhurong, which had just descended from the lander, raised its camera, and a path clearly covered by wheels appeared in its lens.

"No, this is Mars! How could there be traces of wheels?!"

Chief Engineer Cao, who was stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the big screen and said: "Mars doesn't even have living things, how can there be cars! Look around to see if it's just a coincidence."

"good!"

Under the command of Chief Engineer Cao, members of the operation team immediately sent instructions to the Zhurong.

However, due to the one-way delay of up to 23 minutes, after the operation team sends a signal, it will take more than 20 minutes for the Zhurong to start taking action according to the instructions of the control center.

While this data was being transmitted, the atmosphere in the control center was also extremely strange.

Since this landing brought together many resources from China's aerospace industry, both Cao Guolin, the chief engineer from China, and the other members of the control center were very attentive and cautious.

Precisely because everyone's attention was focused on the landing of the detector, the path still displayed in front of everyone on the big screen was even more shocking.

Although everyone said things like 'impossible' and 'definitely a coincidence', the lane on the screen was too regular, as if there were vehicles passing by every day. This was Mars, how could it be a coincidence?

‘You don’t know how to cut the camera at the desert landing site, do you? ’ The engineer who just asked Cao Guolin suddenly had an idea, but he immediately threw it away. This is the United Aerospace Center of Blue Star. How could such a low-level mistake be made?

"Chief Engineer Cao! Found something again!"

While the information was still being transmitted, another engineer raised his hand and pointed at the screen and shouted.

"Is it a cave? There is support at the entrance. It can't be a mine or an underground base..."

Mine?

Everyone couldn't believe it after hearing these two words. Tianwen had already confirmed the surrounding terrain before Zhu Rong landed, and they had not seen these things at all.

Mars, mine. No matter how you look at it, these two words shouldn’t be connected, right? Is it true, as the street stall literature says, that there are people underground on Mars?

But no matter what, this is the most significant discovery of extraterrestrial planets by mankind to date!

When the control center discovered the mysterious hole, the live broadcast room immediately cut off the footage of the Zhurong.

"Let the Zhurong go to the entrance of the cave." Cao Guolin ordered the researchers next to him as soon as he saw the entrance of the cave.

At the same moment, Blue Star, who was watching the live broadcast, was staring at the screen in front of him.

On the Internet, discussions about the flashing hole during the live broadcast also became popular instantly.

‘That was a hole just now, right? Stone paths and cave entrances. Are there really living things on Mars? ’

‘Why did you switch the screen back to the studio! We want to see Mars! ’

‘Did the accident be broadcast? I read online that it was a photo studio. Is that true? ’

‘Shit! How can it be! It’s better to trust my cat than trusting the Internet! ’

‘Something must have been discovered on Mars. Don’t panic, it will probably be broadcast live. ’

Just after people put 'Mars Cave', 'Mars Has Living Things', 'Mars Stone Path' and other hot searches on the top, the live broadcast room released the subsequent pictures after receiving the agreement to continue the live broadcast.

As far as the control center is concerned, they have not cheated and there is no need to cover up anything.

What's more important is that China has invited many observers this time. People from various countries have sent people to observe the plan. There are many technical teams and liaison personnel from abroad in the control center.

It's almost impossible to completely block the news, and since it can't be blocked, it's better to live broadcast it completely.

However, just when the live broadcast was fully restored, Zhuronghao finally received news from Blue Star.

After receiving information about the surrounding area, Zhurong moved forward and turned the camera.

"Is there any road around?"

"What is that? Is it a mine?"

Just when Zhurong started to take pictures of the surrounding area, the surrounding pictures gradually became more comprehensive and clear.

On the big screen in the control center, an open space on the left side of the Zhurong caught everyone's attention.

On the open space, a circle was formed by many gravels, and in the circle were piled many glowing blue ores.

"It is certain that there are real creatures, and they are probably intelligent creatures."

After getting over the initial shock, Cao Guolin now wished he was the Zhurong, replacing the extremely slow-moving Zhurong on Mars to see what happened.

This is the closest human exploration to extraterrestrial life, and it is definitely the most important moment in aerospace.

"I didn't expect that extraterrestrial creatures would be discovered in my lifetime." Cao Guolin frowned slightly and said softly.

But Cao Guolin is already in his early sixties after all. Even if there is a spacecraft going to Mars, it will definitely not be his turn.

"Chief Engineer Cao! There is someone! Something is coming out of the cave!"

Just as Cao Guolin was thinking about it, a member of the signal team next to him shouted again.

In the past, this kind of shouting scene would not have occurred in the control center. However, today's discovery is too legendary, and no one can care about it so much.

When Cao Guolin looked up again, at the entrance of the cave on the right side of the screen, a figure who seemed to be carrying a pickaxe and dragging ore suddenly came out of the entrance of the cave.
