It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"strangeness……"

He stretched out his hand and stroked his stubble-covered chin, and muttered to himself, "Why did the satellite suddenly..."

"Ok?"

Bruno's slightly nervous voice came from the side: "Andrew, what happened to the satellite?"

The next moment, Bruno put down his work and quickly came to Andrew's side, looking nervously at the screen in front of Andrew.

Andrew frowned, and shook his head slowly: "I don't know what's going on, but I always feel that the satellite response speed is a lot slower today."

"Maybe it's my delusion."

Hearing this, Bruno breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand and slapped Andrew's thick back beside him: "Captain, I'm not talking about you, we're on Mars now."

"Isn't it normal for the satellite signal to have some problems?"

Andrew nodded thoughtfully, but there was a slight doubt between his brows: "Maybe it's because of what you said."

"But I always feel..."

"Stop, stop!" Bruno smiled wryly and reached out to interrupt Andrew's words, "Captain, have you forgotten?"

"Two days ago, you said that you felt that there was something wrong with our air circulation equipment."

"Good guy, what you said almost scared me and Joey to death!"

"Don't talk about us, even the NASA staff on duty were scared to death by your words!"

Andrew was taken aback for a moment, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, he reached out and touched the tip of his nose with a smirk: "This... an illusion, an illusion, it's just an illusion."

Bruno glanced at Andrew beside him angrily: "Captain, NASA told me and Joey that if you have this situation a few more times, you can basically be diagnosed with mental illness."

The corner of Andrew's mouth twitched slightly a few times.

Shouldn't it be...

Isn't it just an oolong incident...

Chapter 112 Race against time

The arguing between the two attracted Joey in the No. [-] Mars cabin.

Hearing Bruno's last words, Joey was slightly taken aback.

After a few seconds, she reacted.

"Captain, Bruno is right."

"NASA suggested we give you some antidepressants."

Andrew: "..."

He looked at Joey with resentment: "There's no need to be so exaggerated..."

Joey nodded seriously: "Captain, this is not an exaggeration."

"Even in the space station on the earth, there are not a few astronauts suffering from mental illness, let alone we are on Mars now."

"In order to prevent unexpected situations, NASA even equipped us with tranquilizers, when necessary..."

"Okay, okay!" Andrew shivered slightly, and said angrily, "Forget what I said just now, okay?"

While talking, Andrew turned and looked at the computer screen in front of him again: "It's almost time, we should send the drilling results of the last few days to NASA."

"Hey..." Bruno on the side sighed slightly and rubbed his sore shoulders, "You said we drill holes on Mars every day, why exactly?"

Joey continued: "Didn't NASA say it was looking for traces of life on Mars?"

"Cut..." Bruno rolled his eyes angrily, "Do you really believe NASA's nonsense?"

"Look how many holes have we drilled in the past few days?"

"I see, there is nothing but ice beneath the Utopia Plain!"

While Bruno was complaining, a piece of data was sent to the earth via satellite.

……

After returning from the chairman's side, Lu Yongchang sat behind his desk, quietly flipping through various research data and papers on quantum communication.

Time waits for no one, even if it is not yet time to conquer quantum communication technology, he still needs to continue to learn related knowledge.

"Professor, I have intercepted the latest data of the American Pathfinder Project."

Zero's unique electronically synthesized voice broke the silence of the office.

"Huh?" Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "What did you find?"

"Drilling data for the last few days."

As Ling's voice fell, the computer screen in front of Lu Yongchang suddenly lit up, and a string of detailed data was presented in front of him.

"Hey! The United States is well prepared!"

Lu Yongchang sat up straight and looked at the computer screen in front of him excitedly: "With so much drilling and testing data, it seems that the Pathfinder Project of the United States this time, in addition to the so-called colonial experiments, is also partly aimed at finding land. Traces of extraterrestrial life?"

After a brief silence, Zero's voice sounded again: "Sorry Professor, I didn't find anything about this plan on the Internet."

Lu Yongchang waved his hand nonchalantly.

It is normal not to find it.

Most of these truly confidential documents are kept in paper documents.

"Zero, is there any result from the data analysis?" Lu Yongchang asked again after pondering for a while.

"Professor, based on the drilling data sent back by the Pathfinder program, combined with the location of the US Mars module..."

While talking, Zero quickly zoomed in on the satellite map on the computer screen.

In the end, the picture freezes at a crater.

"...In this crater, 5-10 meters underground, the possibility of life has reached 75.2%!"

Looking at the crater only a few hundred meters away from the Mars module, Lu Yongchang's breathing suddenly became short of breath.

"too close……"

he muttered to himself.

With a short distance of a few hundred meters, according to the current drilling speed in the United States, it is estimated that they will complete the exploration of the area near the Mars capsule in a short time!

At that time, NASA will definitely set its sights on the crater, which is only a few hundred meters away.

Even if the task of drilling inside the crater is difficult, NASA may put its drilling sequence last.

But it won't take much time!

Roughly estimated, after about a month and a half, it is estimated that the three astronauts will bring drilling equipment to the crater!

No!

The research and development progress of Xuannv No. [-] must be accelerated!

Lu Yongchang stood up from his chair with a bang.

"Zero, how is the current development progress of Xuannv No. [-]?"

Perhaps because he sensed the haste in Lu Yongchang's tone, Zero's reply was also much faster.

"Professor, at present, the laboratory in charge of Academician Cao Liangcai has proposed three different proposals, which are under demonstration."

"So slow..." Lu Yongchang frowned slightly, and said quickly, "From now on, all resources will be given priority to the Xuannv No. [-] research project!"

While talking, Lu Yongchang opened the office door and walked towards the laboratory in charge of Cao Liangcai.

……

12 pm.

In Xiaguo First Laboratory, the Aerospace Division is brightly lit.

Lu Yongchang hurried to the door of the laboratory, and pushed open the door of the laboratory.

Quickly passing through the corridor filled with cold light, Lu Yongchang came to Cao Liangcai's office.

"Old Cao!" Lu Yongchang knocked on the office door and shouted loudly, "Old Cao, are you there?"

After a few seconds, Cao Liang opened the door with dark circles under his eyes.

"Professor Lu?!"

The moment he saw Lu Yongchang, Cao Liangcai was surprised: "Why are you here?"

Looking at the pen in Cao Liangcai's hand, Lu Yongchang was slightly relieved.

"It's a good thing you didn't sleep, otherwise I would have to call you today to wake you up..."

Cao Liangcai's expression changed slightly.

He had never seen Lu Yongchang so anxious!

"Professor Lu, what happened?"

While speaking, he opened the door and turned sideways to welcome Lu Yongchang into the office.

Lu Yongchang did not enter the office, but stood at the door, looking at Cao Liangcai solemnly in front of him: "Short story."

"Old Cao, I heard from Ling that you have already proposed three blueprints for Xuannv No. [-]?"

Cao Liangcai was startled for a moment, then quickly nodded: "That's right."

"However...we haven't decided which plan to adopt yet, and these plans have not been verified by zero."

As he spoke, he suddenly realized something: "What? Something went wrong?"

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath, nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "We need to land Xuannv-[-] on Mars within a month!"

"Now, hold a meeting immediately, and the plan must be finalized tonight!"

Cao Liangcai suffocated suddenly.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall.

12: 15.

"Okay!" Cao Liangcai nodded solemnly, "Some researchers may have taken a break, give me 15 minutes!"

Chapter 113 Three Designs of Xuannv No. [-]

12: 30.

conference room.

Lu Yongchang sat on the main seat with a serious expression, and Shen Sheng briefly introduced the situation on Mars.

"Everyone, the situation is urgent. Xuannv No. [-]'s plan must be finalized tonight!"

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang winked at Cao Liangcai who was at the side.

Cao Liangcai quickly presented the three design schemes in front of everyone.

……

after an hour.

Lu Yongchang put down the document in his hand, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Old Cao, let's eliminate the third option directly."

Cao Liangcai's expression changed slightly: "Why...why?"

"Ok?"

From Cao Liangcai's expression, Lu Yongchang noticed something unusual: "Old Cao, this third plan, you can't design it?"

Lv Yongchang shook the document in his hand lightly, and looked at Cao Liangcai beside him in surprise.

Hearing Lu Yongchang's question, Cao Liangcai blushed a little, and nodded slightly: "That's right... This is indeed my plan."

As he said that, Cao Liangcai took a deep breath to calm down the complicated mood in his heart.

"Professor Lu, can you tell me the reason?"

To be honest, he was a little reconciled.
