Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s New Year’s Eve again.

The land of China is filled with the spirit of the New Year.

Spring couplets, firecrackers, children wearing new clothes and shoes, having fun everywhere...

Many people who have been busy for a year have returned to their hometowns and reunited with their parents, wives and children. Happy smiling faces can be seen everywhere.

Chen Yu and Feng Yan also took their children back to their hometown in Huizhou Prefecture to celebrate the New Year with their parents and grandma.

The whole family was filled with a festive atmosphere.

For Chen Yu's family, the atmosphere during the New Year this year is different from previous years because of the addition of a little one.

Although the little guy can't speak or walk yet, his ignorant little face is the best comfort in the eyes of Chen Yu's parents, grandma and others.

evening.

In the Chen family's restaurant, the table was full of delicacies. Chen Yu and his family were sitting around the table. Even the little boy Chen Xi, who was only a few months old, was allowed to lie in his stroller and stay by the dining table.

The little guy is wearing a big red cotton-padded jacket and looks very festive.

Grandma Huang Suying bought it specially for him some years ago.

She also wore a pair of cute tiger-toe shoes.

He also wore a tiger head hat on his head.

No matter how cute you look.

There was no one in the living room at this time, but the TV was on, for no other reason than to add a little New Year's atmosphere.

The family ate the New Year's Eve dinner in harmony, chatting about their children, their parents' shortcomings, and their prospects after the New Year.

Such a scene is happening in thousands of households in China today.

but……

Just tonight, near Mars, layers of invisible ripples suddenly appeared in the originally calm void. In the originally empty void, as circles of invisible ripples rippled, bunches of white light appeared out of thin air.

ejaculate.

Initially, these lights are not bright.

But soon, these lights became very dazzling.

In almost the blink of an eye, those white rays of light converged into an intense white light.

The next moment, the void was suddenly broken like a calm lake.

A dark metal outline protruded from the void.

Like a fish jumping out of the water.

An extremely huge spaceship flew out of the void so quickly. At first glance, its size looked like an asteroid.

It is somewhat similar in style to the Brood 1005 that crashed on Mars more than 3,000 years ago, but it is even larger than the Brood 1005.

After it flew out of the void, it flew straight towards Mars not far away.

…

at the same time.

Starbase in Texas, USA.

This is the base camp of the Space Exploration Technology Company. This city named after the "Interstellar Base" has been aiming to explore the moon and Mars since its establishment.

Therefore, there are the world's first-class astronomical observation equipment here. Because this company has sent spacecraft to Mars many times over the years, they have already left many detectors on Mars.

Those probes have been working tirelessly to explore the entire planet Mars.

Although scientists have long said that the air on Mars is too thin and there is no water source, making it unsuitable for life.

but……

SpaceX, however, does not completely believe the speculations of some scientists.

Can we conclude that Mars is not suitable for life based on mere speculation and brief explorations by several Mars probes?

How big is Mars? Do scientists on Earth really know how big it is?

Don’t talk about the distance, just talk about the earth!

How many years have humans been living on the earth? Thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years?

At least a few thousand years, right?

However, after thousands of years, have humans really fully understood the entire earth? Modern technology is so advanced, and human footprints have spread all over the world, but there are still some places on the earth that humans have not set foot on, or even set foot in.

, there is no research to understand it?

Therefore, human beings have not even studied the earth, where our ancestors have lived for thousands of years, to understand that those so-called scientists, across the vast starry sky, at a distance of tens or even hundreds of millions of kilometers, only rely on astronomical telescopes and a few Mars detectors.

Will it be possible to understand the study of Mars in just a few decades using a single instrument?

Can an astronomical telescope really observe the entire Mars clearly?

Can a few Mars probes explore the entire planet?

What if those Mars probes were exploring places like deserts or the Antarctic and North Pole on Earth?

Can you say that because the deserts, Antarctic, and Arctic on the earth are not suitable for the survival of life, can you conclude that the entire earth is not suitable for the survival of life?

Back to business.

Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company, in recent years, every time it sends a spacecraft to Mars, it will bring several of the most advanced Mars probes there and put them on Mars to explore Mars non-stop.

Although Musk’s main purpose of sending a spacecraft to Mars is to explore the Brood 1005 alien spacecraft on Mars.

However, he also had a lucky mentality.

What if there is really an area on Mars suitable for human survival?

If there really is.

He can really immigrate to Mars.

And tonight.

In the Astronomical Observation Department of the interstellar base, employees were boringly observing scenes from various places on Mars through the large screens hanging on the wall as usual.

These images were all transmitted back by the Mars probes that their company has placed on Mars time and time again over the years.

There is a screen delay of several minutes.

There is no way around it.

After all, Mars is so far away from the earth, and it will take time for the detector's signal to be transmitted back.

In addition, there are several pictures in it, which were observed by astronomical telescopes.

Jim is a member of this department.

It was already late at night, and he yawned, holding a bag of potato chips and eating them boredly. From time to time, he picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

This kind of work is too tiring.

No matter how passionate a person is about his work, if someone like him observes Mars year after year, his passion for work will be gradually eroded by time.

So boring!

Sometimes, such a boring life makes him despair about the future.

He seemed to be able to see his daily life for the rest of his life.

You can see the day when you are old at a glance.

He also thought about changing his job, but the salary offered by the company was too high. If he gave up this job, he was not confident that he would be able to find a job with similar salary.

Moreover, although this job is boring, it is also relaxing.

Thinking about it carefully, he thought it was pretty good.

Bored, he lowered his head and ate two more potato chips, then casually raised his head and glanced at the big screens in front of him again.

He saw something floating across one of the screens.

He didn't pay attention. He lowered his head and took out a few potato chips and put them into his mouth. When these potato chips were stuffed into his mouth, he suddenly froze.

Suddenly he looked up and looked at the big screen where something had just floated past.

Because this job was so boring, his nerves were numb, so much so that he didn't even notice something floating past on one of the big screens.

It wasn't until this moment that I suddenly reacted.

How could something float across the dead Mars sky?

Is there something wrong with the screen?

Or did one of the detectors on Mars malfunction?

This was the suspicion that ran through his mind.

But as his eyes were fixed on the big screen where something had just floated past, his expression became more and more surprised, and his face gradually turned into shock.
