How can a newcomer to the workforce have such poor psychological quality?
"Yes sir."
Mindy was obviously frightened by Venkat's voice, which made Venkat have a worse impression of her. However, when she turned around, Venkat became curious.
What did this newcomer discover?
Mindy's pretty face was filled with fear and her voice was trembling.
"I'm sorry... to disturb your rest so late... but you must know this."
"I hope you have a good explanation Miss Parker."
Venkat drank the dry coffee in one gulp. The bitter coffee without sugar was very pungent, with a sour and bitter taste.
Venkat instantly woke up.
This is the method he often uses when working overtime, but the consequence is that his work and rest schedule is disrupted and it takes a long time to adjust.
Venkat sits down.
"Tell me, what did you find? Is it the body of Team Rody?"
This was the only explanation Venkat could come up with.
If the girl hadn't seen the corpse, she wouldn't have been so panicked.
But if it's just a corpse... forget it, Venkat suppressed his anger and asked rudely.
"No sir, you've seen the picture... and you've understood."
Mindy stretched out her trembling hand and clicked the mouse, and a large picture appeared on the big screen in the control room.
They both looked up.
That is a map of the Martian landscape.
Originally, this should be said to be a large plain, and even if there are mountains, they are low hills.
However, a large black pattern clearly appeared in the photo, covering a large area and was very square... There were also signs of being turned over around it, as well as a number of dark red long strips of buildings.
"what is this?"
Venkat hasn't realized the problem yet.
He stared at the photo and his brows furrowed even deeper.
He could see that the image looked like a man-made structure, but that couldn't be possible, this was Mars.
Is this a prank?
Like, maybe his forty-fifth birthday? Or fifteen or twenty years at NASA?
This is not fun at all.
And he was making fun of a team member who died.
Mindy opened her mouth and took a deep breath: "This is the photo I took according to the coordinates you sent me."
"This is impossible."
Venkat said without thinking.
He had seen photos of the area around the Ares III mission habitat, which was very empty except for a small hill.
"It's true sir."
Mindy stubbornly tried to get Venkat's attention, perhaps because his sleep was disturbed and the Mars mission director was not fully awake yet.
But the next second.
Mindy operates the keyboard.
"Snapped!"
The two pictures that appeared side by side on the big screen made Venkat, who was originally impatient and thought Mindy was playing a cheap joke, break out in a cold sweat.
"Damn... Damn it!"
He opened his mouth and gasped.
I forgot what I was going to say and just stared at the two comparison pictures.
A chill ran through his body from under his feet.
Venkat’s hands and feet are cold.
In the photo, except for a habitat in the center that looks like a white round tent, the surrounding environment... has changed a lot.
Now he is finally awake.
Venkat slumped in the chair, his eyes wide open, his mouth opening and closing, opening again, several times before he managed to speak.
"Oh my god...are you kidding me?"
"No sir...I swear, this is a real-time picture I took."
Tears welled up in Mindy's eyes, and she and Venkat both understood what this meant.
"Also, I didn't tell you...I didn't find the body of Team Di Luo."
Venkat slumped in his chair, staring at the screen, his heart rate rising to dangerous levels.
In the two pictures, except for the habitat which is still intact, everything else is completely different.
The solar panels disappeared, but the rover was still there, but it was parked next to the rows of long buildings, and the black and white contrast was very eye-catching.
Why...why are there suddenly a bunch of black buildings on the empty and lonely Mars?
The reason Venkat was sweating so much was because there was only one answer to this question...
These buildings are not human buildings!
"I...I want to call the director..."
Venkat finally spoke with difficulty, his hands now shaking just like Mindy's.
...
"So, what is the possibility that alien life suddenly appeared on Mars?"
Teddy's forehead hurts a lot now.
He was old and couldn't stand such excitement, so he had to pinch his forehead with his fingers in order to think calmly.
It's not his fault.
Because the possibility of other civilizations or alien species on Mars is so shocking.
Humans have been trying to explore the universe and discover extraterrestrial life since a hundred years ago.
But their attempts have all ended in failure without exception. Not finding the existence of alien life is both a good thing and a bad thing for mankind.
The good thing is that the universe seems to be open to human exploration and discovery of valuable resources, which is an endless treasure.
There is no need to worry about dangers such as war.
But the bad thing is that if the Earth is the only one with life in the universe, it means that humans were not born naturally. It is very likely an experiment at a higher dimension, and the fate of mankind is controlled.
In addition to exploring the universe, NASA has also been tasked with searching for signs of extraterrestrial life.
But found nothing.
Until today...these two genuine pictures indicate that an alien civilization has appeared and is very close to the Earth.
But humans didn't discover it.
This means that the other party has more advanced technology than humans and is more dangerous, and humans are under surveillance.
And now, the other party has even taken the initiative to expose himself, and the various things that follow are too serious.
Every decision they make now may affect the future destiny of mankind.
"hundred percent!"
Venkat knocked on the table and said solemnly.
"I have mobilized all the satellites at hand to monitor the area. Through observation, we can confirm that it is a building, not something else that suddenly appeared. I am sorry to say that I can't imagine what else could suddenly appear such a large building."
Venkat finally calmed down, but his speech was still a little incoherent.
Everyone was silent again at this time.
"Fuck, this is a joke to me." Annie, who is in charge of external public relations, cursed. She is such a woman who looks beautiful and flawless, but actually has the demeanor of a tomboy.
Generally, these public relations workers who are strict in their language like to use swear words in private, and no one will blame her in this case because everyone else would like to say the same thing.
"Also, we haven't found Team Roddy's body, so we can't be sure what his current condition is."
Venkat continued with difficulty.
In fact, everyone had a guess.
In just this short week, an alien civilization contacted Roddy's team. What kind of thoughts and attitude did they have?
"I need to call the president... Help me prepare the information immediately. I may have to catch a plane to Washington."
Chief Teddy spoke after a moment of silence.
"Collate all your speculations and all observable data, understand? Also, Venkat, I now authorize you to have full authorization for the twelve satellites. Keep an eye on them and report all photos and videos to me in a timely manner."
"I see."
Wen Ka Te nodded and said that things should be done step by step.
Teddy then asked.
"Can you contact the Hab?"
"No, no. I've tried. I can see that the communication disc on the Hab has disappeared. I can't get in touch with the Hab."
"The other party has no intention of contacting us?"
“Now look, it’s like this…”
"Bitch!" Annie didn't know who to talk to anymore. She shook the pen in her hand and finally threw it on the table in annoyance.
"What should we do about this? Do you know what kind of media storm this will cause? Can you imagine it?"
