The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 32 The third possibility

"The countdown to Mars is 5133 years, the Earth experiment is 2 years old, and the record of the Mars elders' house." It is still the standard female voice-over, and the content of Chapter 2 of Information Crystal is slowly unfolding in front of the three of them.

"Elder Cangxi has already settled in the cultivation center, but her star marrow is too damaged and needs time to repair. In the past few centuries, she may not be able to participate in the council of the elders' house." Another image of a human body and a cow's head jumped into the room. Eyelids, it's just that this person is much more comfortable than Elder Sakazumi in Chapter 1, and he doesn't have those fancy wings on his back.

"This is our Elder Yan, also Emperor Yan of Shennong." Jia Liang explained at the right time.

After being reminded by Jia Liang, Cui Xingmeng could indeed see Elder Yan's immortal demeanor.

As soon as Elder Yan's words fell, there was a commotion in the elders' courtyard, and everyone admired Elder Cang Xi's spirit of sacrificing himself for the great cause.

"This is the resting soil that Elder Cangxi refined from meteorites that fell to the ground during his recuperation on the earth," said Elder Bao Xi, who has a human head and a snake body, "this is what our civilization can do so far." Refined, the highest-density nuclear material!" As soon as Elder Bao Xi finished speaking, there was a bigger commotion in the elders' courtyard.

"So, today, Elder Yan and I proposed to restart Elder Banquan's third escape strategy and start developing nuclear-powered space vehicles!" Bao Xi's third sentence directly caused the Elder's Court to fry.

"Since the establishment of the Elder's House, Elder Bao Xi and Elder Banquan have been at odds with each other. What happened today? Why did Elder Bao Xi take the initiative to propose a plan to restart Elder Banquan?" Everyone discussed.

"Last time Elder Banquan's plan was voted down because if it fails, the price will be the end of the entire Martian civilization, and the risk is too high!" Elder Bao Xi obviously felt the restlessness and confusion of the crowd, and slowly explained "The birth of Xiyang made it possible for us to use nuclear energy to develop light-speed interstellar vehicles without bringing any risks to the existing Martian civilization."

"So the elders of the pioneering faction unanimously agreed to restart the strategy, so that our Martian civilization has a third possibility besides entering the ground and emigrating to the earth." Bao Xi stopped speaking and stayed behind. The elders of the Presbyterian House whispered to each other, and they also looked directly at Elder Banquan, who was sitting opposite, with puzzled and questioning eyes.

What Bao Xi didn't say was how heartbroken he was when he found Cang Xi in that cave on Earth a year ago.Looking at the dying Elder Cang Xi, buried in the middle of a pile of meteorites, if he came one step later, the consequences would be unimaginable.At that time, if there was a light-speed spaceship, could she have moved in rescue soldiers to help her earlier, and she would not have to suffer so much.

The picture of Nuwa Fuxi in the earth myth only records the picture of him practicing Du Neng when he first rescued Elder Cangxi.How can those unenlightened species know how many ways Elder Cang Xi has thought of during his interstellar travel in the past year in order to allow Elder Cang Xi to return to Mars smoothly.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Mars, he proposed to ask the elders' house to restart the development of nuclear-powered light-speed aircraft.One is to ease the relationship with the Regression Faction and buy time for Elder Cang Xi to recover; the other is not selfish, he can no longer let Cang Xi be so isolated and helpless.

Elder Cang Xi kept saying that this time was her doom by going against the sky, no one else was to blame.But Xiyang is not the reward of her great love and sacrifice. Martians have been seeking high-density nuclear fission materials that have not been broken through for thousands of years, and she just got it by chance.

After Elder Bao Xi said this, the elders' house quickly unanimously passed the decision to restart the third set of escape strategies.At this time, the holographic projection lens is fast forwarding, showing the phased research results of this strategy.

"The countdown to Mars is 5105 years, and the small particle engine driven by the soil is successfully developed. After mass production, it is expected to provide huge kinetic energy for the speed of light aircraft;
Countdown to Mars 5080 years, Olympus Mountain basalt as the raw material of the soil extraction, a breakthrough has been made, providing a channel for particle engine raw materials, local materials;
The countdown to Mars is 4900 years, and the first full-scale nuclear-driven particle engine has been successfully installed. Miemeng Gallery will become the first aircraft equipped with this engine.

The countdown to Mars is 4860 years, and the first interstellar test flight of Miemeng Gallery is successful, the speed per hour: near the speed of light; the pilot of the test plane: Long Yaotian, the fourth-generation chief designer of the Jurassic Earth Experiment; the time spent on the fire-to-ground flight: 29 minutes and 35 seconds! "

The holographic picture was frozen in a scene similar to an awards ceremony. A man with the head of a dragon stood in the center of the picture, domineering and flamboyant. It should be the Long Yaotian just mentioned.Beside him is Elder Banquan with the head of a cow, so proud that the pair of wings on his back are fully spread out, as if he is about to take off at any time.

Seeing that Jia Liang was also excited, he wished that he was also born in that passionate year, and followed the predecessors to open up territories and talk about the world.

"So, you didn't really fly at the speed of light, but just near the speed of light?" Yuan Yizhou's words poured over Jia Liang's head like a basin of ice water.

"The speed of light is almost the same as the speed of light. What's the difference?" Jia Liang was a little confused by his words.

"The difference is huge. Near light speed is just a little faster. There is no way for Martian civilization to go out of the solar system and conduct real interstellar exploration." Yuan Yizhou calmly analyzed, "Near light speed can only allow Martians to travel freely in the solar system. And Except for the earth, other planets in the solar system have either died before Mars, or are completely unsuitable for any civilization to conceive. So Chi You has been busy for so many years, still relying on experiments on the earth."

Seeing Yuan Yizhou's sound analysis, Jia Liang was a little discouraged and didn't know how to respond.

"Is this Long Yaotian the same as Qinghe, the designer of the Dinosaur Earth Experiment? He really knows how to choose his own carrier, which is really suitable for the species in that time and space, and he doesn't even need to buy a camouflage uniform." Yan Gou Cui Xingmeng's focus was completely different from Jia Liang's.

"Dinosaur Time and Space!" Yuan Yizhou seemed to have thought of something, "Play it again, the last minute."

According to his request, Jia Liang replayed the last part, "Stop!" Yuan Yizhou yelled, which startled Jia Liang.

"Countdown to Mars in 4860, Miemeng Gallery's first interstellar test flight was successful, speed: near the speed of light; test pilot: the fourth-generation chief designer of the Earth Experiment Jurassic, Long Yaotian; the time spent on the fire-to-ground flight: 29 minutes and 35 seconds!" The screen stopped at the last paragraph on the subtitles.

"29 minutes and 35 seconds!" Yuan Yizhou read, "The logic doesn't make sense, what's wrong?" He said to himself, while calculating quickly in his brain.
