Not long after the press conference in the United States ended, related news was already trending on Weibo's hot search list.
Shocking! The United States strongly condemns China, and the reason is...
As for the comment section below the news, it was quickly filled by netizens who love to watch the drama unfold.
"Hahaha, you can do that?!"
"A reversal of polarity!"
"What do you call this? Fortune's wheel keeps turning!"
"I never expected that the mighty United States would resort to such rhetoric. It's hilarious!"
"..."
...
On that day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xia held a regular press conference.
Under the watchful eyes of numerous domestic and international reporters, Zhao Jian slowly walked onto the podium.
He then glanced solemnly at the reporters below the stage and said softly into the microphone, "The main purpose of this press conference is to clarify the remarks made by the United States yesterday."
"We have noticed that the United States has a rather deep misunderstanding about the Xia Kingdom's Xuan Nu II astronauts. Here, I will give a brief explanation."
"The Xuan Nu II mission to Mars is primarily to carry out more sophisticated scientific research tasks."
“During the execution of scientific research tasks, if they are disturbed by external factors, they are very likely to fail.”
"Therefore, our astronauts said those words for the sake of scientific research and had absolutely no intention of provocation."
"In addition, we discovered that a portion of the recordings released by the United States is missing."
"Our astronauts made those somewhat threatening remarks only after the American astronauts refused to cooperate."
"However, considering the astronauts' negligence, after discussion, NASA decided to impose a relatively severe penalty on the three astronauts."
"The total fine is two thousand yuan."
"Alright, that's all I wanted to say."
After speaking, Zhao Jian turned and left the podium without even giving the reporters time to ask questions.
This routine press conference added fuel to the fire of the already heated atmosphere.
"Holy crap! Is Xia Guo really going all out this time?!"
"Let me translate what was said at this press conference: I did nothing wrong, the US is entirely at fault."
"Upstairs, you missed a point. Xia Country is carrying out a precision mission, which means the United States is carrying out..."
"Hahaha, a fine of two thousand, and that's the total amount! No wonder it's a heavy penalty!"
"Wow, two thousand yuan! I recommend using Waterdrop Crowdfunding!"
"Enough said, Zhao Jian's ten-year longtime fan has shown up uninvited!"
...
Mars.
After showing off his power atop the American Mars capsule, Bai Yixuan directly piloted the Xuan Nu II towards its destination.
Crater ZHZ72.
As the altitude of the Xuan Nu II spacecraft continued to decrease, the scene on the Utopia Plain became clearly visible to the three astronauts.
On the Martian surface, which is reddish with a hint of yellow, rocks of all sizes are densely distributed in rows.
Mars Utopia Plain
"It's so desolate!"
Looking at the surface of the earth, which was devoid of any vegetation or signs of life except for rocks and dust, Xia Wanyi's eyes flashed with emotion, and she said softly, "After seeing the moon and Mars, I truly realized how beautiful Earth is."
"Alas, what a pity..." Hong Fan sighed from the side, "According to Professor Lü's prediction, Earth only has 14 years left to live."
The atmosphere in the cabin instantly became heavy.
Sensing the atmosphere in the cabin, Bai Yixuan chuckled: "Hey you two, there are still 14 years left, what are you sighing about?"
"Professor Lü said that the Heavenly Court Project will be realized in 14 years. When have you ever seen him lie?"
Hong Fan perked up a bit: "Right! We'll go to Proxima Centauri and take over their territory!"
Bai Yixuan and Xia Wanyi were slightly taken aback, and then a look of longing appeared on their faces.
...
The sun on Mars slowly sets.
As the eerie blue flames at the bottom of the Xuan Nu II subsided, it gradually descended into the crater.
Because the sunlight was blocked, the bottom of the crater had already entered night.
Bai Yixuan pressed several lighting buttons on the control panel in front of him.
The next moment, more than ten powerful white lights illuminated the dark bottom of the meteorite crater as if it were daytime!
As the Xuan Nu II landed, a cloud of crimson sparks rose up.
Illuminated by more than ten white beams of light, Xuan Nu No. 2 seemed to have entered a crimson world, eerie yet beautiful.
He frowned as he looked at the ground structure outside, then at the dashboard in front of him, a glint of light in his eyes.
"As expected! Professor Lü was right!"
"The surface inside the crater is covered with a layer of dust and fine particles, which cool down much faster than rocks after sunset!"
"Currently, the surface temperature has dropped to -50℃, which is a full 80℃ lower than the outside temperature!"
As he spoke, Bai Yixuan reached out and unbuckled his seatbelt: "Everyone, it's time for us to get to work!"
After putting on his helmet and slinging on his oxygen tank, he reached out and pressed the button to open the cargo hold.
The two sides of the Xuan Nu II slowly opened, revealing a series of devices inside.
Deep geological drilling rigs, microbial detectors, and various precision testing instruments.
To improve efficiency, after the drilling mission is completed, the three astronauts will also need to test and analyze the samples drilled out.
Thanks to Mars' gravity, which is only 38% of Earth's, the three men easily moved the deep geological drilling rig out of the cabin.
After assembling the drilling rig, Bai Yixuan pondered for a moment, then turned to Xia Wanyi beside him and said, "Wanyi, we will be responsible for drilling and sampling, and you will be responsible for testing the soil samples."
Seeing Xia Wanyi nod, Bai Yixuan and Hong Fan exchanged a glance, aimed the drill bit of the drilling machine at the Martian soil in front of them, and started the machine directly.
A buzzing sound rang out, and countless crimson sparks and dust rose into the air.
Because the surface layer is mostly dust and fine particles, the drill bit penetrated the ground with almost no resistance.
One meter.
Two meters.
Three meters...
As the drill bit descended five meters underground without any resistance, a hint of panic appeared in Bai Yixuan's eyes.
Something's not right here!
According to Professor Lü, there should already be traces of underground ice layers at a depth of 5-10 meters!
Bai Yixuan's eye twitched slightly, and he whispered into the team's radio channel, "Something's wrong, stop the drilling rig!"
Hong Fan, standing to the side, didn't ask any questions and simply reached out and pressed the stop button.
As the motor reversed, the drilling equipment, which had penetrated five meters underground, slowly emerged from the ground.
Bai Yixuan squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of soil samples brought out by the drilling equipment.
Even through his spacesuit, Bai Yixuan could tell that there was no moisture in the soil.
He rubbed the reddish soil vigorously.
The soil, which had originally formed clumps, turned into tiny specks that slipped through his fingers.
