Chapter 99: Choice

Xu Yunjin and others looked nervous and were closely monitoring the movement of the flying saucer. With Yu Yifeng's authorization, the nuclear button could be pressed at any time.

The Noah where the people were located was still too close to the alien spacecraft, only more than 130 kilometers away. If a helium-3 nuclear bomb with a yield of one billion tons detonates directly, it is likely to affect itself!

But there is no other way. It is simply a suicide act to keep a hand against alien civilization. Yu Yifeng clearly knows that the new human civilization is not much better than a grasshopper in the face of real interstellar civilization, and nuclear bombs are their last protector. Before the emergence of tetrahydrogen nuclear bombs, helium-3 nuclear bombs were mankind's most powerful weapon!

Anyway, the Noah is also the product of a super civilization, so if it is affected by a nuclear explosion, there should be no problem...

Yu Yifeng was not a coward, so he did not give the order to escape immediately. He clearly knows the huge opportunities contained in it. If alien flying saucers can be obtained, human technology has the potential to soar into the sky!

Although a flying saucer with a diameter of 5,000 meters is not comparable to Noah, it is infinitely better than human technology. Just limited to material technology, humans cannot create a sphere with a diameter of one thousand meters!

To use a simple metaphor to describe it, Noah is a god-like technology. The era it has stepped into is too big. People cannot figure out what conservation of mass, vacuum zero-point energy, etc. can do. Random guess.

Scientists have been studying it for so many years and have no expectations at all. It can be said that it is a lifetime series... It is like a primitive man getting a computer and not understanding the principles at all, so he cannot imitate it.

But this alien spacecraft is different. There are circuits and machinery inside. It is within the scope of human science that can still be understood... It's like primitive people have obtained iron-making, waterwheels and other technologies from the feudal era, and they can still rely on them. Draw a gourd with a scoop.

The sense of crisis deep in his heart lingered, but there was also an unwillingness at work: If humans can't seize this great opportunity, why should humans rise in the stars? Can they really slowly advance in technology? Can't? One is the sense of crisis of the total annihilation of mankind, and the other is the possibility of soaring into the sky... The temptation and contradiction are too great, and Yu Yifeng really can't give the order to escape directly.

He clenched his palms tightly, so hard that his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh. No matter what, he would always make a final decision!

His mind was running wildly, trying to find a final answer. Questions suddenly popped up: How was this alien spacecraft destroyed? Why did it happen to be dug out by humans on Mars?

Is there really a Martian civilization?

Why is it under the uranium mine, as if it is hiding itself... If an alien flying saucer crashes due to a war, it will at least make a big crater. How can it be completely covered by sand?

Did it bury itself to avoid enemies, or for some other reason?

Beads of sweat appeared on Yu Yifeng's forehead. He began to recall that scientists had said before that the stones in the uranium mining area were particularly soft. Could it be because they had been excavated? !

Yes, the aliens have dug it, and of course the land is soft! If you follow this idea, the probability of alien life inside will greatly increase!

Yu Yifeng suddenly shuddered, it was unreasonable, absolutely unreasonable here!

"Mr. Yu, I think your question can be explained geologically!" A middle-aged scientist suddenly stood up and said, "This spacecraft has not stayed here for hundreds or thousands of years, but for more than a million years!"

"Although geological movements at the North Pole of Mars are infrequent, they do occur occasionally. This spacecraft once made large dents of dozens or hundreds of kilometers. However, due to landslides or earthquakes, within a million years, it It was gradually buried by the sand and became what it is now.”

"This also explains that the rocks within a radius of hundreds of kilometers are particularly soft and easy to be excavated. Please wait a moment, the relevant geological report results will be out soon..."

Yu Yifeng nodded silently, and his frown dissipated slightly. Although the scientist's words were just a conjecture, they were still reasonable. In millions of years, geological movements may indeed bury it. Too sensitive?

Since the alien spacecraft was discovered in the morning, it is already 12 o'clock at noon, and it is time for lunch. But everyone in the know was discussing and arguing tirelessly.

Everyone present knew what it meant, and many people's eyes were red with excitement, especially the group of scientists, who scratched their heads and touched their ears one by one, no different from anxious monkeys...

But they must find evidence that the spacecraft is absolutely safe.

The universe is not a kind place. A mere Martian virus may wipe out the entire human race, let alone a powerful alien civilization? Many people have taken this into consideration, and after calming down, more and more scientists are becoming more cautious.

Many scientists are busy making conjectures and searching for evidence, and this meeting will not end soon. Yu Yifeng had to find someone to deliver lunch boxes to the conference room, so that they could discuss while eating...

"Mars civilization should not exist. This flying saucer was just lost on Mars for some reasons and happened to be dug up by humans. Because we have not found traces of civilization elsewhere on Mars."

"Yes, I think so……"

At 1:30 pm, a geology report finally appeared at the meeting, giving a powerful explanation: "According to the analysis of the geological profile of Mars, the area where we are docked is likely to have experienced a magnitude 9 earthquake or above in history! The time was three to six million years ago..."

"The earthquake may have been caused by the impact of the UFO!"

"The strong earthquake and the long-lasting related aftershocks caused a large-scale landslide, gradually burying the basin... The uranium ore on an ore mountain can be found hundreds of kilometers away, which is the best proof of geological movements such as landslides! Because the wind on Mars is not strong enough, it is impossible to blow large rocks hundreds of kilometers away, only geological movements can make it possible!"

On the stage, the geologist became more and more excited: "So, this spacecraft has been buried for at least a million years! For millions of years, it has been there and has not moved at all... This is the best safety proof!"

"What How can life survive for millions of years? "The geologist asked, "Besides, the moment a UFO hits the ground, it generates a huge impact force that can press a lead ball into a round pancake... Can life really survive?"

"That's not necessarily true! Life on Earth cannot survive for a million years, but alien life is uncertain!" A scientist immediately frowned and objected: "For example, artificial intelligence can survive as long as there is energy!"

"Also, the large hibernation chamber technology required for interstellar travel can also allow life to survive for a long time... So your statement cannot prove that UFOs are absolutely safe. Maybe we have already awakened them!"

"Can hibernation chamber technology really do it?"

"Just because we can't do it doesn't mean that alien civilizations can't do it!"

The scientists had different opinions and argued with each other, their faces flushed, and no one could convince anyone, and they were almost fighting... Yu Yifeng frowned and spoke several times to maintain order.

At this time, Zhao Yao from the Security Department suddenly ran into the conference room panting, "Captain, all the surveillance videos have been retrieved, and no abnormalities have been found!"

Yu Yifeng's expression moved, and he took a USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer, and then began to play the surveillance video.

The conference room instantly became quiet, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes stared at the screen intently, trying to find some clues from it.

This is the first-person perspective of an automatic excavator. It works automatically according to the designed program, and the entire workflow does not seem to have any major problems.

During an excavation at 2:30 in the middle of the night, it "banged" and hit an extremely hard object.

According to the judgment of the program, this may be a very hard stone, and forced excavation will cause damage to the equipment, so it should be bypassed. So the excavator moved to the side for more than ten meters, dug hard, and "banged" again hit a hard object...

In this way, it kept moving and dug out the UFO bit by bit. Although only a small part was dug out in the end, it can also get a glimpse of the size of the UFO, and estimate the size of the UFO. There should be most of it buried underground that has not been dug out.

During this process, the UFO did not react at all, just like a dead object, not moving at all.

"No reaction."

"Yes, indeed... at least it cannot be seen with the naked eye."

"Most of the UFO should be buried deeper."

Many scientists were relieved, at least the naked eye did not see any special danger. It has crashed millions of years ago, so it should be relatively safe, right?
