From all-round academic master to chief scientist

When Lin Xiao got the news from Xiaomi, he was shocked.

The United States has actually discovered something strange on Mars a long time ago?

This really made him feel a little incredible.

So, what did the Americans discover on Mars? Is it something similar to a moon monument?

"Show me quickly."

He said immediately.

"Okay." Xiaomi responded, and then Lin Xiao saw a window pop up on his computer screen, which showed that data was being transferred. It was obviously the data that Xiaomi had compiled.

The amazing thing is that data transmission is very fast. Of course, Lin Xiao is used to it. This seems to be a unique function of Xiaomi. Data transmission can exceed the capabilities of the device and reach a higher level, such as his laptop. The computer's hard disk read and write speed is seven gigabits per second, but Xiaomi can make this data break through to eight gigabits or even higher.

And the Xiaomi itself is like a special memory that can carry very large amounts of data.

Therefore, in less than two seconds, all data is completely transmitted.

A total of 13G files, very large.

Looking at such a large folder, Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed in her heart, those foreign devils really had so many secrets.

Then, he opened the folder and looked at the various information inside.

Soon, shocking secrets appeared in front of him.

For example, the first top-secret document he saw.

【Top Secret】

[Pirates II Files, TS-03]

[Abstract: On the 351st day of its operation, Viking 2 sent back a photo, which was suspected to have found an artifact on Mars. According to the analysis of the image returned, the artifact was a relic, hidden next to a stone in the Utopia Plain on Mars, shaped like a pillar. , the length of the pillar is temporarily unknown, and the depth of burial is temporarily unknown. Some unknown words can be vaguely distinguished on it. 】

[Keywords: Extraterrestrial civilization relics, Mars]

[NASA Director’s Reply: It is basically certain that our human civilization is not alone]

[Presidential Approval: Continue the investigation, and don’t let the Soviets find out. If they are allowed to contact extraterrestrial civilization, it will be difficult for me not to doubt whether they intend to destroy the earth]

【……】

This first top-secret document shocked Lin Xiao. The United States also discovered this thing on Mars?

He looked at the picture and found that there was no difference between this pillar and the pillar they found in Sanxingdui. They could only be said to be exactly the same.

Even the text seems to be very the same.

Of course, he took a closer look, and it seemed that they were not exactly the same. The main reason was that the text on it was a little different. It was just that the content on this picture was too blurry, so it was not very clear.

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, this photo is from the last century, and it is obviously magnified many times.

Viking 2 is a Mars lander launched by the United States in 1975. It is the second human creation to successfully land on Mars in human history.

And the first one was the Viking 1 lander.

Of course, there is not much difference between the two things, because Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and Viking 2 was launched on September 9.

But apparently, in the end this Pirate Two discovered something mysterious.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, and finally checked other information.

Obviously, these are not the only secrets hidden in these materials.

And soon, he discovered other surprising things in another top-secret information.

"The Sojourner Mars rover actually only operated for 84 days?"

When Lin Xiao saw this information, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

According to official news from NASA, the Mars exploration rover, which followed the Mars Pathfinder rocket to Mars on December 4, 1996, and landed on Mars on July 4, 1997, lost contact after only 84 days of operation. .

In fact, according to the information revealed in this top-secret information, the Sojourner Mars rover actually operated for nearly 600 days.

During these nearly 600 days, the Sojourner had been searching for that kind of "Mars ruins", and on the 432nd day of the Sojourner's operation, it really discovered another This Martian ruins is located in a cave, and inside, there is a mysterious staircase. The steps are covered by sand and dust, and only a few parts can be seen.

NASA personnel missed it the first time. If one of their staff members had not discovered such a very strange place when checking the pictures, otherwise they would have missed it.

Seeing this, in Lin Xiao's heart, apart from being surprised by these mysterious ruins, he only felt a sense of regret for the luck of these foreign devils.

"Good guys, they actually discovered two strange ruins. Isn't this a bit too lucky?"

"Coincidence? Or..."

Doubts arose in his mind, and then he continued to read various information.

Later, the Americans seemed to have much worse luck, because they later launched the Spirit and Opportunity rover in 2003, the Curiosity rover in 2011, and the Perseverance rover in 2020. These four Mars exploration rovers, None of them succeeded in discovering anything. They even sent up a Mars helicopter, the Ingenuity, together with Perseverance, but they also found nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt a little relieved. Sure enough, there was no such thing as such good luck.

According to the ruins distributed on the earth, their locations are very scattered. How can it be so easy to find any of them?

However, from the many Mars rover plans of the Americans, we can see that they value Mars. Otherwise, why would they think about going to Mars all the time?

With so many Mars rovers, especially a specially developed Mars helicopter, it is obvious that the Americans really want to discover other Martian relics.

As for them wanting to go to Mars? What kind of Mars immigration plan is this?

Lin Xiao didn't believe this in her heart. She hadn't even accomplished the immigration to the moon yet, so she wanted to immigrate to Mars first?

No matter how you think about it, this kind of leaping progress is completely unreasonable, or it is too ambitious.

Because whether it is the moon or Mars, they are extremely deadly to humans born in the greenhouse of the earth, and the distance between the earth and Mars is far greater than the distance between the earth and the moon. If a safety incident occurs and the Earth wants to provide support, it is obviously more convenient for the moon to do so.

So thinking from this direction, the Americans' pursuit of Mars must be because there is something on it that makes them willing to invest so many resources.

Lin Xiao's brows twitched, no, people from Yueshi Division must also know about this.

Because looking at it this way, what they are looking for is not necessarily prehistoric civilization. On the contrary, extraterrestrial civilization is more likely.

And this also shows that this matter is not just a matter of the earth, but now also includes Mars.

Of course, the most important thing is to let them know that this extra-human civilization is not their only secret. The Americans on the other side have known about it half a century ago.

However, the problem now is how to let them know about this.

Obviously, he couldn't just rush up and tell the news directly. How he would explain the source of the news would be a huge problem. He couldn't just say that the Americans told him.

So, we have to use hackers?

Then he asked Xiaomi.

"Xiao Mi, where did you get this information?"

Xiaomi replied: "NASA's internal confidential database."

"How to hack in?"

"Ah?" Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "No need to hack, I can directly enter their database to obtain this information."

Lin Xiao: "?"

"What do you mean? You don't have to crack their code?"

"There is no need for this at all, because there are no other intelligent beings in the world where you are, Master, so there are no passwords or firewalls that can stop me, because I can completely bypass their firewalls and passwords and directly obtain the data inside. .”

Xiaomi thought for a while and then said: "It's like I am the only consciousness in this world, so I can go wherever I want, and nothing else can stop me."

"So that's it." Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and couldn't help but feel surprised. It turned out that it was such a simple matter for intelligent consciousness to invade a system.

He thought it was cracked by brute force using a quantum computer.

Looking at it now, as a virtual life, it still has some unique abilities, and it cannot be simply regarded as an ordinary life composed of data.

But in order not to expose Xiaomi, obviously this method can only be used by PASS.

Then he asked: "Then do you know how to get this data by hacking? If we use Qiankun No. 1."

Xiaomi replied: "That's okay."

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up: "Okay! How long will this take?"

"It will take about six to 15 years."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Why does it take so long?"

"Because their password used one-way function encryption some time ago, the complexity is about 2 to the power of 131, so with the computing power of Qiankun No. 1, it will probably take so many years to crack it, and this requires What's more, Qiankun No. 1 can only do it by calculating continuously."

Lin Xiao was immediately speechless.

Unexpectedly, the one-way function he created originally helped the other party.

Although the computing power of Qiankun No. 1 is very high, when faced with such a complex one-way function password, if you want to brute force crack it, the time required will only increase exponentially.

What's more, Xiaomi also said that what this requires is for Qiankun One to continue running endlessly.

This is equivalent to saying that in the next few years, their Qiankun No. 1 will only be wasting time on this.

This is obviously impossible.

At this time, Xiaomi said again: "Oh, Master, I found another piece of news. NASA seems to change the password every two years."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately shook his head. It seemed that there was no need to think too much. Directly using Qiankun No. 1 to brute force the attack would not work, unless they rebuilt a more powerful quantum computer, and then could stably operate between two The crack will be completed within the year.

But obviously, this is not possible in a short time.

He couldn't help but ponder in his heart. In this case, how should he let the people of Yueshisi know about this?

Finally, he suddenly thought of something. It seemed that he was not in a hurry about this matter. After all, the Americans had only found two after searching for so long. It was better to let them continue searching first, and then he could just sit back and enjoy their achievements.

As for China, just spend the next time figuring out these ruins on the earth.

As for how to let Yue Shisi know about things on Mars, maybe he can use other more direct methods to let them know about this matter.

That is going to Mars.

And obviously, that's what they have to do in the future.

As he once said, controllable nuclear fusion, room-temperature superconductors, and space navigation technology are the three technologies that humans must master to lead to the future.

Now, the first two technologies have been completed, and now it is the turn of space navigation technology.

Then they will be able to go directly to Mars to discover these ruins.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao felt slightly reassured.

"It just so happens that Academician Tan Jinri from the National Space Administration wants to talk to me in the next few days. Is it about space technology? Maybe we can talk to him about this aspect."

This matter suddenly came to his mind.

"Then, let's go to the moon first and then the fire."

Let’s first see if the technology for building a base can be realized on the moon. After making sure it can be inhabited, we can then go to Mars!

After deciding on all the next plans, Lin Xiao raised his head and looked up at the blue sky outside the window.

If the truth he seeks is not on earth, it is obviously in the universe.

Also, the ruins that appear on Earth and Mars may also represent another kind of truth.

Of course, there is also the mysterious moon tablet.

"The moon monument we discovered on the moon finally led us to find the corresponding mysterious ruins on the earth. So, will there be such a... fire monument on Mars?"

Of course, it is also possible that it exists on a satellite of Mars, but the problem is that Mars has two satellites. On which satellite will this fire monument exist?

The main reason why Americans are looking around like headless flies on Mars is because they don't have anything that can directly point them in the direction.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and finally gave up.

"Forget it, what's the point of thinking so much, anyway, I can't go to Mars yet."

Then he stopped spending time on this, and instead thought about the science and technology that needed to be overcome if he wanted to develop space navigation technology.

…

A few days passed quickly.

"Academician Tan, hello to you."

"Haha, Chief Lin, I have admired you for a long time."

In a relatively confidential reception room, Lin Xiao met with Academician Tan Jinri of the Space Administration.

After the two chatted for a while, they began to talk about the focus of their meeting today.

"Academician Tan came to me because he wanted to discuss space technology with me?"

"Yes." Tan Jinri clicked his tongue: "Who would have thought that our Yutu 2 just wandered around the moon and discovered such amazing things. If, Chief Lin, you could enter the Moon and Stone Division earlier, I I’ve been asking for your help for a long time.”

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "I envy you for knowing about this so early."

"Hey, this is nothing to envy." Tan Jinri waved his hand, and then said: "I hope Chief Lin can help us study the aerospace aircraft technology."

"Aerospace plane?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Yes, it is an aerospace aircraft, and what is needed is that this aerospace aircraft can freely travel to and from the moon and the earth."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile, "The difficulty you gave me is not easy."

An aerospace aircraft, to put it simply, is an aircraft that can freely travel between outer space and the earth's atmosphere.

It can fly freely on the earth using the Bernoulli effect, and can navigate through the universe by ejecting working fluid.

Of course, to achieve this, the engine of the aerospace plane must have two systems. One is the aerospace engine used in ordinary aircraft, and the other is the aerospace engine used in rockets.

But obviously, it is not easy to combine these two engines.

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Tan Jinri smiled, "It's because of the difficulty that we found you. Who among us doesn't know that Chief Lin is not only willing to help others, but as long as we find you to help, you will definitely be able to solve it." ."

Lin Xiao: "...who told you this?"

"Isn't this what everyone is talking about everywhere? And there are several examples, such as controllable nuclear fusion, batteries, oh, and quantum computers. That guy Pang Wei is talking about it everywhere."

Lin Xiao immediately covered his face.

At this time, he suddenly felt the urge to issue an eviction order.

This is simply a scam.

If he agrees to Tan Jinri again, he may not know how he will pass it on in the future.

But there is no other way. Having said this, if he doesn't agree, it will definitely not be justified. What's more, he himself agrees with starting to study this from aerospace aircraft.

Because the inherent advantage of aerospace aircraft is there, which is to save fuel.

Of course, what it saves is not the fuel of the aviation engine, but the fuel of the aerospace engine.

Just for a rocket to rise into the sky, it needs to consume nearly 80% of the fuel, and so much fuel is used to overcome the earth's gravity.

And if it is like an airplane, it first relies on the buoyancy of the air to rise to a high enough level, and then ignites the aerospace engine, completely breaking away from the control of gravity and rising to orbit. The fuel saved in this way can obviously reach an extremely high level. degree.

Therefore, this is the biggest advantage of the aerospace aircraft.

In addition, there is another advantage, that is, the aerospace plane can be used multiple times, which is obviously too economical for a rocket worth hundreds of millions in one launch.

Therefore, Lin Xiao is very sure that the aerospace plane is one of the first steps in their development of space technology.

"How is it? Chief Lin?" At this time, Tan Jinri said: "We have all been looking forward to you for a long time."

Lin Xiao nodded helplessly and said, "Of course, that's totally fine. I accept it."

Tan Jinri immediately laughed, "Okay! As expected of Chief Lin, he will never back down no matter how difficult the project is."

Then he shook his head again and said: "That's not true. If we really want to talk about it, controllable nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductors are definitely more difficult than aerospace aircraft."

Lin Xiao waved his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, Academician Tan, there is no need to say more about these things. I just hope you won't tell others about it then. If you have any questions, just come to me. I don't want to be tortured!"

Seeing Lin Xiao's look, Tan Jinri burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, definitely."

"Ah That's good."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then he said: "However, Academician Tan, don't you think there is another technology that is also necessary for our purpose?"

Tan Jinri was stunned, "What kind of technology?"

"Ultra-long distance quantum communication technology."

Lin Xiao said.

But what surprised him was that after Tan Jinri seemed to endure it for a while, he finally laughed, then patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said, "It's a deal, double happiness!"

"Since Chief Lin took the initiative to propose this technology, I will stop pretending and show off my cards. In fact, after I solve the aerospace aircraft technology, I plan to talk to you about this technology again."

"Now, Chief Lin, you have brought it up, so we can leave this technology to you!"

Lin Xiao: "..."
