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

"...Here, I strongly condemn Xia Guo's extremely domineering behavior!"

"Mars is the Mars of humans, not the Mars of a certain country!"

"I hope Xia Guo can correct his attitude and contribute to the common development of mankind!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say."

"Does anyone have any questions?"

As soon as Albert finished speaking, countless hands were raised.

"President Albert, is it true that Xia Guo committed provocative actions against our astronauts on Mars?"

Albert looked as usual, and nodded lightly: "It's true. In fact, I have heard the conversation between the two. The Xia Guo astronaut's words were very fierce, and he didn't have the slightest respect for our Chinese astronauts!"

"Excuse me, in the face of Xia Guo's behavior, does the US have any countermeasures?"

Albert's face was a little ugly.

"The United States is a country that loves peace. In the face of Xia's unreasonable behavior, we cannot use violence to counter violence. We need..."

"Your Excellency, do you mean to say that the United States has backed down in the face of Xia Guo's provocation?" A reporter directly interrupted Albert's words.

Albert blushed and patted the podium in front of him angrily: "Damn it, listen to me!"

"Listen, the United States will never back down!"

"As for how to counter Xia's provocation...we are still discussing it!"

"Okay, this press conference is over!"

Chapter 120 Severe punishment?

Not long after the press conference in the United States ended, relevant news has already been listed on the hot search list of the bib.

"Shock!The country of the United States strongly condemns the country of Xia, and the reason is that..."

As for the comment area below the news, it was occupied by netizens keen to watch the excitement in just a few minutes.

"Hahahaha, can you still do this?!"

"Polar reversal!"

"What's this called? Feng Shui turns!"

"I didn't expect that the dignified Milijian would make such a set of rhetoric. I laughed so hard!"

"..."

……

On the same day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xia State held a regular press conference.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of domestic and foreign reporters, Zhao Jian slowly walked up to the speaking platform step by step.

Afterwards, he glanced solemnly at the reporters in the audience, and said softly into the microphone: "This press conference is mainly to clarify the remarks made by the United States yesterday."

"We have noticed that the United States has a deep misunderstanding of the Xuannv [-] astronauts of the Xia State. Here, I will give a simple explanation."

"Xuannv-[-] went to Mars mainly to carry out more sophisticated scientific research tasks."

"During the execution of the scientific research mission, once it is disturbed by the outside world, it is likely to cause its failure."

"Therefore, our astronauts said those words for scientific research missions, without any intention of provocation."

"In addition, we found that some fragments were missing from the recordings released by the United States."

"Our astronauts made those threatening remarks after the American astronauts refused to cooperate."

"However, considering the negligence of the astronauts, after discussion, NASA decided to impose a more severe punishment on the three astronauts."

"The total fine is 2000 yuan."

"Okay, that's all I have to say."

After speaking, Zhao Jian turned around and left the podium without even giving the reporters time to ask questions.

This regular press conference poured hot oil into the already hot atmosphere.

"Fuck! Is Xia Guo so tough this time?!"

"Let me translate the content of this press conference: I didn't do anything wrong, it's all about America."

"Upstairs, you missed a little bit. Xia Guo's execution is a precision mission, which means that Mi Guo's execution is..."

"Ha ha ha ha a fine of two thousand, or the total, it is worthy of heavy punishment!"

"Good guy, two thousand oceans! Suggest water drop chips!"

"Stop talking, Zhao Jian's ten-year old fan came here uninvited!"

……

Mars.

After "showing off" above the head of the Mars module in the United States, Bai Yixuan directly controlled Xuannv [-] to head towards the destination.

Crater ZHZ72.

As the altitude of Xuannv-[-] continued to decrease, the scene on the surface of the Utopia Plain was clearly reflected in the eyes of the three astronauts.

On the surface of Mars, which is red with a bit of yellow, there are densely distributed rocks, large and small, row upon row.

Plains of Mars Utopia

"It's desolate!"

Looking at the surface without any signs of vegetation or life except stones and dust, Xia Wanyi's eyes flashed with emotion, and she whispered: "After seeing the moon and Mars, I really realized the beauty of the earth."

"Hey, what a pity..." Hong Fan sighed from the side, "According to Professor Lu's prediction, the Earth only has 14 years left."

The atmosphere in the cabin instantly became heavy.

Sensing the atmosphere in the cabin, Bai Yixuan laughed lightly: "I said you two, there are still 14 years left, why are you sighing here?"

"Professor Lu said that the Heavenly Court Project will be realized in 14 years. When do you think he lied?"

Hong Fan cheered up a bit: "Yes! Then we will go to Proxima Centauri and snatch their territory!"

Bai Yixuan and Xia Wanyi were taken aback for a moment, and then there were yearning smiles on their faces.

……

The sun on Mars is slowly setting.

As the faint blue flame at the bottom of Xuannv [-] decreased, Xuannv [-] gradually landed inside the crater.

Because the sun's light was blocked, the bottom of the crater had already entered the night ahead of time.

Bai Yixuan pressed several lighting buttons on the console in front of him.

The next moment, more than ten powerful white lights illuminated the bottom of the dark crater like daytime!

As Xuannv [-] landed, a burst of crimson Martian dust rose.

Under the illumination of more than a dozen white beams of light, Xuannv No. [-] seemed to have entered a crimson world, and there was a bit of beauty in the weirdness.

He frowned and looked at the surface structure outside, and then at the dashboard in front of him, with a look of excitement in his eyes.

"Sure enough! Professor Lu is right!"

"The inner surface of the crater is covered with a layer of dust and fine particles, and after the sun goes down, this material cools down much faster than the rock!"

"Currently, the surface temperature has dropped to -50°C, which is 80°C lower than the outside world!"

While talking, Bai Yixuan stretched out his hand to unfasten the seat belt on the seat: "Everyone, it's time for us to get ready for work!"

After putting on the helmet and putting on the oxygen cylinder, he reached out and pressed the open button of the cargo compartment.

The abdomen on both sides of Xuannv No. [-] slowly opened, revealing a series of equipment carried inside.

Deep geological drilling machines, microbial detectors and various precision testing instruments.

In order to improve efficiency, after the drilling mission is completed, the three astronauts also need to test and test the drilled samples.

Thanks to the gravity of Mars, which is only 38% of the earth, the three easily moved the deep geological drilling machine out of the cabin.

After assembling the drilling machine, Bai Yixuan pondered for a moment, then turned to Xia Wanyi and said, "Wanyi, we are responsible for the drilling and sampling, and you are responsible for testing the soil samples."

Seeing Xia Wanyi nodding, Bai Yixuan and Hong Fan looked at each other, pointed the drill bit of the drilling machine at the Martian soil in front of them, and started the machine directly.

There was a buzzing sound, and countless crimson spark dust was raised.

Because the surface layer is mostly dust and fine particles, the drill bit sinks into the surface almost without any resistance.

one meter.

two meters.

Three meters...

Seeing the drill bit go five meters underground without any resistance, Bai Yixuan's eyes showed a bit of panic.

This is not right!

According to Professor Lu, 5-10 meters underground, there should already be traces of underground ice!

The corners of Bai Yixuan's eyes twitched slightly, and he whispered in the team's radio channel: "Something is wrong, stop the drilling machine!"

Hong Fan on the side didn't ask any further questions, and just reached out and pressed the stop button.

As the motor reversed, the drilling equipment five meters deep underground slowly emerged from the surface.

Bai Yixuan squatted down, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of soil samples brought out by the drilling equipment.

Even through the spacesuit, Bai Yixuan could feel that there was no water in the soil.

He rubbed the reddish soil vigorously.

The originally lumpy soil turned into dots of debris and slipped from his fingers.

Chapter 121 Air Circulation Equipment Malfunction

Looking at the "soil" that turned into crimson debris, Bai Yixuan's expression became ugly.

"broken."

He whispered, "How long do we have for drilling steel?"

Hong Fan thought for a moment: "To be on the safe side, I probably brought about 30 meters."

"what happened?"

Bai Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the few centimeters of drilling holes in front of him: "Look, the drilling machine has drilled five meters, and all that comes out is dust and fine particles."

"At that time, Professor Lu estimated that the depth of this part was only two to three meters!"

Hearing this, Hong Fan also realized the problem.

Bai Yixuan continued with a slightly serious face: "At present, we don't know how deep this part is. Fortunately, we brought a 30-meter drilling steel pipe, otherwise... I don't think we can even see the shadow of the underground ice!"

While speaking, Bai Yixuan put the drilling steel pipe back on the drilling machine again.

"Go ahead and hopefully we'll find so-called Martian life within the length of a steel pipe."

……

At the same time, in the American Mars capsule 1000 meters away.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Just as everyone was about to go to bed and end this tiring and depressing day, a piercing siren sounded from the speakers of the Mars module.

Andrew, who just lay down on the single bed, opened his eyes suddenly, and a carp jumped up from the ground.

what's the situation? !

Hearing the frightening siren, a trace of anger flashed in Andrew's eyes.

Damn it, people from Xia Kingdom won't come again, right? !

Before he had time to think too much, he casually put on his clothes and ran directly towards the No. [-] cabin.

After dozens of seconds, Andrew pushed open the tightly closed door of No. [-] cabin.

He looked at the radar for the first time.

No exception.
