Hearing this, Sun Wenzhe, standing next to him, gave a bitter smile.
"This is?"
"Have you found anyone?"
"As I said before, after a friendly question mark, we each asked each other a question in a show of sincerity. I asked him who he was, and he threw a math problem in front of me... This is it."
They saw the culprit that they had been searching for for more than five hours, riding an unmanned automatic survey vehicle, swaying past them.
"Sorry for making you worry."
"It is said that people may hallucinate under extreme circumstances."
"I swear it's not an illusion," Fan Tong continued in a serious tone, looking at his teammates who had obviously disbelieving expressions on their faces, "We introduced ourselves to each other, and he claimed to be a 'holy relic' and also mentioned this... The civilization that once existed on the planet... that is, the Martians. In fact, I did find evidence of the existence of Martian civilization underground. On the way to that place, I passed a corridor with images like It’s something like a coffin. So there’s nothing wrong with it claiming to be a holy relic. In my opinion, it does look like a funerary object.”
"Thanks."
"I know, I also want to punch myself... But now is not the time to talk about this." The ashamed expression on his face gradually showed a hint of complexity. Fan Tong took a deep breath and continued with a wry smile, "I have Important findings should be reported.”
Mars civilization
"If I remember correctly, this thing should be the ABC conjecture?"
Looking at the wrist-mounted computer, Han Kangyu frowned and asked.
At this moment, Han Kangyu suddenly interrupted.
Except for a few probes dropped a long time ago, they suspected that they were the only ones left with usable equipment deployed on Mars.
With a solemn look in his eyes, Sun Wenzhe shook his head.
Mars research station.
"It's been put in the sample library, but if you want to extract the DNA from that thing, I think it's better to give up this idea. Except for the traces of artificial carving that can be barely discerned on the row of 'coffins', most of the materials They have basically weathered into biomass clastic rocks. Although I have not undergone isotope testing, I can infer based on experience alone that the age of those biomass clastic rocks is probably older than the trilobite fossils."
"Let's not talk about the Martian civilization... Are you sure you saw another living civilization underground?"
He opened the car door and jumped out. Looking at Sun Wenzhe walking towards him, Han Kangyu, who was wearing a spacesuit, strode forward and asked with an anxious expression on his face.
"...This thing is not an advanced math problem."
Sun Wenzhe: "You have to try everything to know."
Hearing the bad news, Han Kangyu couldn't help but look a little ugly on his face.
"Neither do I have one here."
"It's hard to handle..."
"There is no support," Han Kangyu shook his head and said in a heavy tone, "The ground command center requires us to use all the resources available on site to search and rescue the missing people. In addition, they said they would use all the resources already deployed on Mars. There is no other better way than supporting us with our own equipment.”
"You mean... you saw aliens underground?" Liang Youcheng stretched out his hand to pinch his eyebrows, sorted out his confused thoughts, and continued, "And actually, they are not the same group as the Martians. They come from a different solar system. A third-party civilization outside the world, who has been alive since hundreds of millions of years ago, and told you that there has been a civilization above the industrial age here?"
Looking solemnly at the time on his wrist-mounted computer, Han Kangyu couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness between his brows.
After hearing his story, everyone, including Captain Liang Youcheng, was stunned.
After staring at the math problem for a while, electrical engineer Xiao Hong, who had been silent for the whole time, continued with a strange expression, "It looks like a high-level math problem."
"Do you know what I want to do now?" Han Kangyu muttered, staring at him, "I want to punch you right now."
Watching the unmanned survey vehicle that probably belonged to the Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies go away, Fan Tong then looked at his two stunned teammates, a hint of shame gradually appeared on his face, and he lowered his head.
…
With each passing minute, the hope of survival dwindles.
In a deserted desert.
Liang Youcheng looked at him immediately.
"No, to be precise, I didn't see it. The situation at that time was very strange. I could feel that he was nearby, but maybe he was hiding and I couldn't find him at all. He was directly connected to my communication channel , and even communicated with me in standard Mandarin. By the way, I also encountered an invisible wall there. In short, there are many evil things... Don't look at me with that look, I can use my academic skills Reputation swears, this is definitely not an illusion!”
With that said, Fan Tong had already opened the information panel in the wrist-mounted computer and read the text message.
However, just as the two were discussing how to carry out the next rescue work, an extremely unnatural black spot suddenly appeared deep behind the rolling red sand.
Sun Wenzhe, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Equipment already deployed on Mars…
Wiping away the sand stuck to the mask of his spacesuit, Sun Wenzhe looked at the stacked mountains next to the two of them with a headache, "It's still too unrealistic for us to go over this place... Over there at the headquarters What's going on? Didn't the captain apply for support?"
As if hearing this thank you, the camera on the top of the automatic survey vehicle clicked humanely, then made a 180-degree turn, continued its previous mission, and headed away into the depths of the desert.
After gently patting the roof of the survey vehicle, Fan Tong, who was as dirty as if he had been in a coal mine, jumped down from the roof.
Nearly five hours have passed.
"Even if I return to Earth... I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone who can solve this problem."
It sounds like they are actually living in some sci-fi blockbuster...
Pessimism gradually emerged from his heart, and he now increasingly doubted whether the missing Fan Tong was still alive.
Two Mars rovers approaching from a distance merged together.
Holy relic
"Where are the samples? You have discovered such amazing things, don't say you didn't take samples."
"Does that mean there is no support?" Sun Wenzhe sighed, "But speaking of it... the two-week voyage, even if we arrive, most of the people will be gone."
Gradually, the black spot came closer, and its outline appeared in their eyes.
The five people sitting at the conference table all came closer.
"No. I've searched all over the area for this generation. Not to mention the figure, I didn't even see the crack where he fell... Where are you over there? Do you have any clues?"
"It's up to you. This is your major anyway."
Looking at Fan Tong who was leaning back on the chair, Liang Youcheng frowned.
"That's right, it's the ABC conjecture." Looking at the four teammates with different expressions in the conference room, Sun Wenzhe nodded with a complex look, "let alone us laymen."
Capturing a key message from his monologue, Sun Wenzhe immediately asked.
"Forget it, let me show you the evidence directly."
He searched almost every corner he could find, and even ventured a short distance into the Hell's Gate Mountains. However, the result was just like what his teammate Sun Wenzhe said, not to mention a human figure, even a slightly... No deep cracks were seen.
The moment they saw the outline clearly, the two people who were still discussing the rescue work were dumbfounded.
With that said, Fan Tong took off the wrist-mounted computer from his arm and threw it on the conference table.
"You can do it?"
In the event room that was used as a temporary conference room, Fan Tong, who had changed into casual clothes, sat at the conference table with his four teammates and told all his experiences in the underground world in a straightforward manner.
