Chapter 137 Astronomical Wonders: Mars Moving

The head of the scientific team frowned and replied: "In theory, it is possible, but..."

"That's all! Don't worry about anything else. Just figure out what kind of industrial capacity and resources this project will require to complete it!"

The verification team received orders from their superiors and had to endure the frustration and continue the verification work.

At the same time, the department of the Global Academy of Sciences responsible for astronomical observations also received the highest instructions from the United Government.

【Observing Mars】

"Why are you paying attention to Mars?"

Although puzzled, the astronomical team still mobilized astronomical telescopes around the world and aimed at the location of Mars.

"What do you think the [gift] the traveler is talking about is?"

In the conference room of the United Government headquarters, several permanent directors met to discuss what Zhang Hong had said a few days ago.

Before leaving that day, Zhang Hong said that in order to show his sincerity in helping the Earth civilization, he would give the Earth civilization three gifts.

He didn't say what it was, but only said "Look at Mars".

The United Government had no choice but to arrange people to observe Mars.

Shortly after the observation began, the bosses waiting in the conference room received an urgent report from the astronomy team.

"What? Mars is missing?!"

The big guys almost jumped up from their seats, their glasses almost falling to the ground in surprise.

The astronomical team reported that global telescopes have observed that Mars is no longer in its original orbit and its whereabouts are unknown.

"How can such a big planet just disappear? Find it! Find it now!"

The bosses' anxious roars were transmitted directly from the headquarters to the astronomical observation center.

The big guys were deeply shocked and extremely worried. Mars disappeared mysteriously, and everyone immediately felt the weight of the "multiverse traveler".

It turns out that the other party’s talk of “multiverse travel” and “huge power gap with humans” is not bragging. If the disappearance of Mars was really caused by a traveler, then the “strength” of this traveler is completely beyond the imagination of Earthlings.

After half an hour.

"Found it! Found Mars!"

"God, this is impossible..."

Reports filled with panic came back from the astronomical observation center.

Looking at the contents of the report, the bigwigs of the coalition government fell silent and were unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while, Zhou Zhezhi sighed heavily, "I can pick the sun, moon and stars with my hands. There is no one like me in the world... I never thought that the scene described in the novel would actually happen."

“…It seems we need to re-evaluate our cooperation with the travelers.” Mike, the US representative, said in a heavy tone.

He emphasized the word "cooperation".

Everyone knew what he meant.

The travelers said they wanted to help humans, but now, the people on Earth have personally felt how powerful this "help" is.

——The Astronomical Observation Center reported that Mars was discovered in the Earth’s orbit, 10 million kilometers away from the Earth.

Not only has Mars entered the Earth's orbit, it also orbits the sun at a speed similar to that of the Earth, lagging behind the Earth by about four months.

That is to say, if the Earth stops moving, Mars will hit the Earth in four months.

Of course, this assumption is not true, because the Earth is still orbiting the Sun as usual. Although the two planets are in the same orbit, they will not collide with each other in the short term - millions of years.

"Look, this is the picture our scientists took on Mars."

A stack of photos was placed on the conference table, the most eye-catching of which was a remote sensing image of a part of Mars.

In the center of this picture, there is a huge city with bright lights on Mars, and you can vaguely see various machines busy shuttling around in it.

"…Is this the gift that the Traveler gave us?"

"In any case, let's send someone to Mars to explore first."

Zhou Zhezhi said solemnly to the leaders of the coalition government: "Everyone, when it comes to travelers, we still have to listen to what they say and watch what they do."

"Perhaps to the other party, we are the gap between an ant and an elephant. But since the elephant needs the ant, we ants should not underestimate ourselves."

“Even though the elephant is huge, it is not so easy to kill the ants!”

Earth, equator, former location of the Republic of Gabon.

The Navigator Space Station is still the best choice for Earthlings to enter space. Although the space elevator was partially damaged in the attack more than seven months ago, the main body is still intact and still has a certain space delivery capability.

At the top of the Sky Elevator, the partially restored Navigator Space Station has completed one-third of its construction. Although only one-third is completed, it can also serve as a large spacecraft to carry out space missions.

Now the Earth's officials are speculating that the miraculous rescue of more than 300 astronauts on the Navigator Space Station was the result of the intervention of Travelers.

Various analytical data even allow one to speculate that Voyager had begun secretly observing the Earth at the latest when the space elevator attacked.

"Duoduo, the authorities didn't say you had to go, so why do you have to go?"

Han Ziang sighed and looked at his daughter who was packing her luggage.

Han Duoduo silently stuffed the last piece of clothing into the suitcase and zipped it up. After Han Ziang finished nagging, she said calmly, "The earth needs it, and I have a lot of experience. If I don't go, who will?"

"Just because you are experienced, you should give others a chance. You can't always fleece the same sheep."

Han Ziang muttered, feeling quite resentful.

First there was the space elevator attack, then there was the moon crisis, and now they are asking people to go to space again. Has any good thing ever come of going to space?

Our Han family has only one daughter. Can't your coalition government replace her with someone else?

"Dad, take care of yourself, I'm leaving!"

"Take care of yourself! Don't always rush to the front when something happens!"

Han Duoduo walked out of the house and wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen from her eyes.

It would be a lie to say that she doesn't worry about her old father. A daughter has been her father's little cotton-padded jacket all her life, but she understands that there can be no small family without the big family... If Liu Peiqiang were still alive, he would definitely embark on the journey of responding to the government's call without hesitation.

An hour later, Han Duoduo arrived at the Gabon Space Center on a transport plane. After a short rest, she and other astronauts took the space elevator to the Navigator Space Station.

The mission was commanded by the station chief of the astronaut space station, a gray-haired astronaut in his forties.

Since the lunar crisis half a month ago, there are no astronauts over the age of fifty on Earth.

He looked at the more than 500 astronauts in front of him and said solemnly: "Our mission this time is to explore Mars."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked puzzled, but due to good discipline, no one spoke.

The stationmaster went on to say, "Just two days ago, our astronomical team observed that the position of Mars had shifted significantly. Mars is now in the Earth's orbit 10 million kilometers away from the Earth."

After saying this, the astronauts could no longer hold back.

Someone immediately asked in surprise: "Sir, is this true? How could Mars possibly get into Earth's orbit?"

The stationmaster nodded seriously. "It is absolutely true. Our mission this time is to go to Mars to find out what is going on. I need sixty volunteers to sign up for the first exploration team."

All the astronauts present raised their hands without hesitation, without leaving anyone out.
