Following the meeting on overall structural reform of Yongzhou.

Notifications are updated every day in Yongzhou’s various public channels.

During the few remaining holidays, members who are on vacation can always see the latest notices and details about the overall structural reforms.

However, the specific implementation of this policy still needs to wait until the vacation of the Yongri members is over.

After all, unless there is an emergency or special situation, Yong Zhou will not squeeze everyone's vacation.

It's just some preliminary work and rough outlines, and we can start now.

Once the holiday is over, you can immediately start handing over work and dealing with some trivial matters.

Currently, most of Yongri's members are relatively relaxed.

But at this moment in CNES, the Gallic Space Research Center, there was no such rare relaxation as Eternal Day.

Or it should be said that the space agencies of several major countries have not relaxed, because they just launched a spacecraft to Mars half a month ago.

Although there is still a month and a half before arriving on Mars, they have to keep a close eye on the spacecraft's movements during this period.

Because the four countries' joint Mars landing plan is mainly to bypass the moon to develop space technology, so as to turn their future vision to the vast space.

As the moon is difficult to approach, the development of space technology has been greatly affected.

However, the infinite universe cannot be simply ignored, and in the face of the increasingly serious threat from the abyss, humans need more powerful science and technology.

Space exploration is a necessary step or catalyst for the development of many technologies.

The previous joint moon landing plan of the four countries has also laid a good foundation for them in space technology, which is enough to support them in trying to covet various resources in space.

Moreover, the people's growing material and spiritual needs force them to create a new channel for obtaining resources.

So the major powers finally chose Mars as a substitute for the moon and as a stepping stone for human exploration of space.

Therefore, whether the joint four-nation Mars landing plan can be successful depends on many things.

It's not just CNES in Europa that's keeping a close eye on this spacecraft.

The other three countries participating in the joint Mars landing plan also maintain long-term attention to the spacecraft and communicate regularly.

"The four-nation joint video conference will begin in half an hour. At the conference, we will receive and review the information that the Mars spacecraft will send back."

"We have to hurry up. There's not even one person among these astronomy talents who can repair computers."

In a large conference room of CNES, Tom, who was debugging the projection equipment, spoke to Jerry, who was debugging the computer next to him.

As experts sent by four countries to cooperate in the joint Mars landing plan, the two of them were sent by NASA to CNES to do some research.

"Fuck, I really would rather be exiled to the border on paid vacation for keeping the plan secret."

"It's fine if I'm sent back to NASA to work overtime, but why am I being sent to CNES to work overtime?"

Jerry sighed helplessly.

He, who always worked hard, felt deeply tired for the first time.

It seems that he is going to follow the style of Senior Tom, who has always been a lazy fish.

It’s not that the work at CNES is tiring, but the lack of professionalism at CNES makes him feel a little tired.

The aerospace technologies of the United States, Britain and China decreased in turn, and then there was almost a huge gap between these three and the ones that came later.

Apart from some achievements in Jupiter exploration, CNES in Europa is far inferior to NASA in other technologies and talents, so much so that Tom and Jerry are often consulted by people from various departments here.

Most importantly, CNES can achieve some results in Jupiter exploration mainly because most other countries do not explore Jupiter.

Only CNES built a "JUSE" probe, which was sent into space on an Ariane 5 rocket. Its purpose is to explore three of Jupiter's four icy satellites, determine whether their environment can support life, and observe and record seismic activity in the icy shells of Jupiter and its satellites.

"It's pretty good here. You've just been in a place with the most advanced technology for too long, so you're a little uncomfortable here."

Tom smiled and tried the debugged projector, then found a seat in the conference room and sat down with satisfaction.

Hearing this, Jerry quickly finished his work and sat down next to Tom.

"You repaired it pretty fast."

Jerry smiled and lay on the chair, saying to Tom beside him.

"It's just a projector. Nothing high-tech."

Tom gave Jerry a helpless look.

Come on, after all, he is a top student from the Ivy League and a top scholar and engineer who has worked at NASA for many years.

Restoring a projector is really an overkill.

"I'll connect the computer here to the recent video records of the Jus probe, and then project them onto the white cloth in front of us."

"Just think of it as testing the computer and projector."

Jerry said, typing a few words on the computer.

Apparently, even if he feels it is hard work, Jerry is still that hard-working guy.

Even when the two of them were transferred to a secret agency in a small town in the western United States to take up idle positions due to confidentiality regulations, Jerry had already been led by Tom to learn a tendency to live a lazy life and enjoy life.

But Jerry still keeps himself busy.

Tom shook his head helplessly.

It seems that when I have time, I have to take this back of mine to find some wild girls and change myself through indulgence and enjoyment.

The two were quiet for a short while.

The data from the Jupiter probe was received by the computer and then projected onto the white cloth.

Because it has an iron-rich, liquid core, Ganymede is the only satellite in the solar system with a magnetic field, and the Joos probe is orbiting this satellite.

At this moment, the white cloth shows the picture of Ganymede.

It was a desolate place.

In addition, detailed data such as average density, surface gravity, escape velocity, rotation period, and axial inclination are displayed.

"It seems that the projector and computer have been repaired."

Tom glanced at the projection on the white cloth and said, "It seems that there is still no trace of life on Ganymede. I wonder if there is life in the ocean under the ice cap of Ganymede."

“Is this plan to explore life a way for CNES to defraud funds?”

Jerry pouted.

Thinking of what Tom loved to do most at NASA to defraud funding, I couldn't help but subconsciously have such doubts.

But he didn't care about this matter and soon stopped thinking about it.

"By the way, the Jupiter has just finished its fixed-period photography of Jupiter's moons. It's now time to take pictures of Jupiter. How about we continue to take a look at Jupiter?"

After Jerry took a quick look at the data and the images, he said to Tom beside him.

Seeing that Tom had no objection, Jerry operated the computer to project the Jupiter-related data sent back by the Jupiter probe.

The next moment, the projection on the white cloth changed suddenly.

The largest planet in the solar system comes to life.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun in the solar system and the largest planet in the solar system.

The ancients knew about this planet long ago. The Romans named it after their main god Jupiter. Ancient China called Jupiter "Sui Xing" because it takes about 12 years to orbit the celestial sphere, which is the same as the Earthly Branches. In the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Qian, the author of "Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Celestial Officials", discovered from actual observations that Sui Xing was blue, and thus associated it with the "Five Elements" theory, and officially named it "Jupiter".

Jupiter is a giant planet, with a mass one thousandth that of the Sun, but 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets in the solar system combined. Jupiter is mainly composed of hydrogen, but helium, which accounts for only one tenth of the molecules, accounts for a quarter of the total mass.

The atmosphere is divided into different zones according to latitude, and turbulence and storms occur at the boundaries between them.

The most notable example is the Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has never stopped since it was first seen via a telescope in the 17th century.

The size of that storm alone was already larger than the Earth...

etc!

He subconsciously switched through several photos taken by the Jupiter, but did not see the most iconic pattern of Jupiter.

The Eye of Jupiter, which had been silently gazing at the starry sky for hundreds of years, suddenly disappeared.

Could it be that... he remembered it wrongly?

Everything I had been taught about astronomy at Princeton was wrong, and there was actually no such thing as a Great Red Spot on Jupiter?

Jerry had a moment of self-doubt.

However, he soon used his computer to open the CNES database and found the publicly shared data of Voyager and Galileo.

In the database of the two probes that had photographed Jupiter a few years ago, Jerry found that he was not mistaken.

Jupiter does have a Great Red Spot!!! At this moment, Jerry was stunned.

He subconsciously stood up and murmured silently.

Where is the Great Red Spot? Hasn't it been around for at least two hundred years, and will probably still be around for a few hundred more?

But now, why has it disappeared?

When did such a storm that was bigger than the earth suddenly disappear?

"What are you doing?"

Tom noticed Jerry's movement and looked at him with some confusion.

"Look."

Jerry didn't say much, just pointed to the projection on the white cloth.

Tom looked over and frowned.

It's Jupiter...

Huh? Huh? ? ! !

wrong!

"Where's the Great Red Spot?!"

Tom's eyes widened, and he realized why Jerry suddenly stood up and muttered to himself.

The last time the Jupiter spacecraft took photos of Jupiter was less than ten days ago, right? The Great Red Spot suddenly disappeared during the ten days when the Jupiter was busy conducting in-depth exploration of Jupiter's moons? How could a storm cyclone of this level dissipate so quickly? Confusion filled the hearts of the two at this moment.

Why, once they started operating the space exploration equipment, they observed special conditions?

The last time they saw someone smash a meteorite with one punch.

Last time they saw the planetary engine on the moon.

This time they saw Jupiter's Great Red Spot suddenly disappear.

After a moment's silence, the two experienced people immediately started their respective tasks with clear division of labor.

Jerry quickly reported the discovery to CNES and NASA, and suggested that they inform the Paranormal Research Alliance and the Anomalous Countermeasures Bureau to conduct an in-depth investigation into the matter.

According to his intuition, this time it might be related to the extraordinary again.

Tom began to apply for permissions in various databases, especially focusing on applying to NASA in his hometown and the space base in Bear Country to see if they had any recent monitoring records of Jupiter.

Is there any Jupiter exploration record somewhere that records the entire process of the Great Red Spot disappearing?

Perhaps you can witness some more horrifying details.

Not long.

Tom obtained some authority from NASA headquarters, and immediately began to quickly look for monitoring records related to Jupiter.

Based on the observation angles and times of all known probes, we calculate and find out a group of probes that may be able to observe Jupiter in their observation images.

A long time later, Tom found a few seconds of observation records of Jupiter in a probe that was not specifically designed to observe Jupiter.

Jupiter is in the corner of this recording and is not very clear.

But Tom could see a clear ray of light flash across the corner of the picture in an instant, hitting Jupiter in the corner of the picture and then disappearing.

Tom's eyes widened when he saw this.

Sure enough, there was an anomaly! He glanced at the time in the corner of the picture, which was eight days ago! Tom used this time and the positions of some stars in the picture as coordinates to make a rough calculation.

The process is not complicated.

Or rather, it was not complicated for him, a college student from the Ivy League.

Not long after, he put down the draft paper and the black pen in his hand.

Tom rubbed his temple subconsciously.

I wanted to say something, but found that I couldn't speak when I opened my mouth.

A shock flashed through my heart.

According to calculations, the "light" in the corner of the picture hits that direction of Jupiter.

It happens to be the hemisphere where the Great Red Spot is located!

In other words, it is very likely that a pillar of light suddenly appeared eight days ago and disappeared the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, which is larger than the Earth.

What is this concept? Even though Tom and Jerry had seen the planetary engine with their own eyes at the four-nation joint moon landing base, they were still shocked by this discovery.

That planetary engine.

Although it looks spectacular, it is actually only about the size of Bailey Crater.

The jet that shot up into the sky looked terrifying.

In fact, it can only evaporate a bustling first-tier city in an instant.

This time the discovery was different.

Even if you didn't see the moment the Great Red Spot was annihilated by the light column with your own eyes.

But one can still vaguely imagine how spectacular the performance is.

That's a super anti-storm cyclone.

A hurricane that is much larger than the Earth.

This is countless times larger than any first-tier city. It's like the gap between an ant and a giant.

If a first-tier city were to become circular, its diameter would be no more than 100 kilometers.

The Great Red Spot has a diameter of 16,000 kilometers.

The jets from the planetary engines on the moon will have no effect on the Great Red Spot.

But even such a large red spot was likely to be disappeared by this beam of light.

It is hard to imagine what kind of power this is! It is simply a reappearance of a fantasy scene! This is a real planet-destroying force in one blow, which is many times more powerful than any nuclear weapon.

So if this beam of light reaches the Earth...

Will the Earth end up like the Great Red Spot, instantly becoming an inconspicuous speck of dust that disappears into the vacuum of the universe?

Is this the end of human and earth history? Think about this.

Tom was shocked.

I couldn't help but shiver subconsciously.

Must, report immediately!
