Chapter 803: "Little Life" from Mars

Earth, North America.

NASA headquarters.

I was sitting at my desk, and Director Carson was flipping through the documents in his hand.

At this moment, the office door opened and a man in a suit walked in quickly.

He looked up at the assistant who came in, and Director Carson reached out and took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, speaking in a tired tone.

"How's the situation? What about the three astronauts?"

Assistant answered.

"Now on the Moon Station space station."

He turned the pen in his hand, and Carson nodded gently on the desk while holding the pen.

"What is the timetable for the transfer of personnel? When is Hua Guo planning to send people back?"

They paid at least $ 1 billion for this expensive Mars rescue operation.

Although the Chinese side publicized that they had borne $ 713 million in relief funds for humanitarian reasons, the ghosts knew how much they really did.

After all, it is currently able to bring people back from Mars at the tail of the window period, which is only a company of Xingkong Technology, how they quote this budget.

Carson estimates that the top of the Chinese side will appear to be $ 300 million to $ 400 million, and the entire rescue operation will cost less than $ 1.7 billion.

I met Director Carson's eyes, the assistant hesitated, and said with an awkward expression.

"... not sure yet."

"Not sure?" Director Carson frowned a little, frowning, "What do you mean ... they are planning to hold people together?"

"That's not it, it's just our astronaut ... there seems to be a small problem."

"……what is the problem?"

Facing the questioning look of Director Carson, the assistant's face was full of bitter expressions.

"Suspected Martian bacteria were detected in the metabolites of the three colonists ..."

Uh ...

Following the successful docking of Hao Xiaguang and Moon Palace, the news that the three colonists of New Virginia returned to the Earth and Moon system immediately spread across the world along the network cable.

However, the people of the world have not had time to cheer for this great moment. The news that the Martian bacteria were found in the three colonists was also spread with the triumph of the Chinese rescue team.

得 After learning the news, the international community suddenly made an uproar.

Some people are curious about these little lives from Mars, or some people have said that they don't care what the astronauts bring back from Mars.

However, the emotion permeated in another part, or most of the crowd, is panic ...

Columbia Television.

Some time ago, Jamie was also enthusiastic about the Ares plan and invited three colonists to visit the scene. This time, he changed his previous position and became not only a firm opponent of the Ares plan, but also a An ecologist who strongly criticized NASA invited to the talk show.

Facing the audience at the scene, as well as the camera lens, the old professor Liu Liuwen, said with an angry voice.

"... I said a long time ago that Ares planned from the beginning to be another stupid and inhumane human experiment! NASA knows that not only is the climate dangerous on Mars, but also those we have never seen before Microbes, even viruses! But even so, they resolutely sent the colonists to Mars, and coaxed them one day to go home ... "

"Oh God, now they do come back, brought back by the generous Chinese. But where should we put them carrying Martian bacteria? Who can guarantee that the bacteria they carry is harmless to others? Is it harmless to our fragile ecosystem? "

"NASA must be held accountable for this!"

It's not just Columbia Television that changed its position.

After the term human experiment was put on the table, almost all media in North America who were still concerned about political correctness made a clear distinction with NASA and Ares.

As expected by Director Carson, NASA and Ares plans were immediately slammed by public opinion after the news of the three colonists infected with Mars bacteria spread.

Although he feels a little unjust.

After all, originally in the Ares plan, there was no plan to bring these Martian colonists back to Earth. If it were not for the global sandstorm, they would not have to worry about how to calm the anger of the people.

But now it seems that it is too late to say anything.

From the moment the Martian bacteria were detected in the three colonists, his political career may have come to an end ...

At the same time, it is not just Chief Carson who has been hit.

Yuan Yuan was on Wall Street in New York, and there was a cloud covering the sky. Those aerospace listed companies that were once popular in the financial market are now facing a sad winter of capital.

Even Space-X, which has already stood at the top of the industry, and the blue origin of Amazon Holdings, life is not very good.

However, when public opinion was verbal about NASA and Ares' plans, there was a radically different reaction on the academic side.

A paper published by Leslie and Dr. Shuxuan Zhao, which has been published side by side, has caused a huge sensation worldwide.

是否 The existence of life on Mars has always been a controversial topic.

Although humans have launched numerous probes to Mars, and even dropped a life support unit, as well as three astronauts, so far, they have not brought an inch of soil directly from Mars.

The only thing that can be studied by astrobiologists is only three meteorites from Mars that were picked up from Earth, numbered ALH840001 and Yamato593, respectively.

Although there are signs of microorganisms in all three meteorites, there is still no direct evidence that these microorganisms did exist, or what they are.

Although the bacteria brought back from Mars by Xiaguang are full of unpredictable risks, they also have valuable research value.

The biological community believes that this is an epic major discovery. The research on this bacterium will hopefully reveal the thin "ecosystem" on Mars and enrich the currently known human DNA database ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ It is also stated that the bacteria brought back from Mars by the three colonists will provide key research materials for the study of Mars's historical landform changes and the evolution of the atmospheric environment.

Of course, scholars who have studied in related fields have also expressed concerns.

的 Martian species that can survive in extreme environments are likely to show the same tenacious vitality on Earth and cause unpredictable effects on the earth's ecosystem.

欧洲 At that time, European colonists brought a series of infectious diseases to North America, almost exterminating the indigenous peoples living there. And North American indigenous people killed by infectious diseases are far larger than those who died under guns.

Now these three people have gone around on Mars and brought back a small life on Mars. Although the physical condition of the three people seems to be unaffected at present, no one can guarantee that this will always be the case.

At a time when the atmosphere of panic was gradually permeating, the Huaguo Lunar Orbit Construction Committee issued a public statement.

For the benefit of human civilization as a whole, we will not consider bringing the three colonists until we determine the possible impact of the bacteria on the earth's ecosystem, or until we find the Martian bacteria that completely kill the three colonists. Back to earth.

At the same time, the China Lunar Orbit Construction Commission also announced that a lunar research facility will be built on the lunar surface to temporarily house the three colonists and study their situation.

设施 The facility and the research it undertakes welcome the supervision of all sectors of the society and are open to the entire international community. Other countries are also welcome to participate.

However, due to various factors such as cost, this will certainly not be unpaid ...
