Chapter 495 How are you going to get on the fire?!(1/2)
"Five of you, you will become the pride of our people, so please go with peace of mind, we will be waiting for your heroes to return on earth!"
At the entrance of Saturn 9, the president, who had just finished his speech, came here and gave his final encouragement to the five astronauts who landed on the moon.
The five astronauts also stood at attention and saluted, saying in unison: "Promise to complete the mission."
The president nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said: "Very good, then, go ahead, children, and may God bless you."
"yes!"
The five astronauts nodded one after another, then held the space helmets in their hands, stepped into the rocket, and then came to their respective seats and sat down.
"Armstrong, how do you feel?"
After they fastened their seat belts, they started chatting.
And one of them asked the biggest celebrity among the five of them, Jayden Armstrong.
For Jayden Armstrong, he never thought that he would become so famous with his last name.
Although he has been paid attention to by people around him because of his surname before. After all, the name of Armstrong, the first man to land on the moon, is still quite well-known. But no matter what, compared to the simple attention he once received, it is obviously far less than the simple attention he once received.
His current situation is attracting the attention of the whole world.
Nowadays, he can easily post a short video on the Internet and get millions of views. He can be said to be a veritable celebrity. As long as he comes back from Mars, he will be able to rely on this fame from then on.
Living the life of a capitalist, coupled with the fame of being the first person to climb the fire, it will be both fame and fortune.
He was even designated as the first person to step out of the landing module and the first person to leave footprints on Mars, as the successor to continue their legacy as the largest country in space.
So it can be said that Jayden Armstrong is very popular nowadays.
When he heard his teammates' questions, he snorted and said, "That's it. Anyway, I'm ready to spend a year and a half on that damn Mars as soon as possible."
"Fortunately, NASA also agreed to help update my video on Mars on my Toktik. Otherwise, it is really unimaginable how many fans I will lose in a year and a half."
Hearing Armstrong's words, the other four astronauts burst into laughter, and looked at Armstrong with envy in their eyes. Why weren't they called Armstrong?
Even if his name is Gagarin, it won't matter... Although Gagarin is from the former Soviet Union, he is still the first person in space.
And at this time, the voice of the command center came from their communication channel: "Okay, you five, please don't talk about these topics anymore. We will record the next calls about you as our future
The content of the TV broadcast column is broadcast, so you should talk more about words that are conducive to stimulating people's emotions."
"I know, I know." Armstrong said: "You just need to promise to help me update toktik's video."
"Just rest assured about this."
The people in the command center responded, and then said: "Okay, the launch will start in two minutes. You should take this time to say goodbye to the earth."
The five people in the rocket looked at each other, and then started chatting awkwardly.
"Hey Trendo, did you say goodbye to your daughter?"
"Of course, my daughter was very happy when she heard that I was going to be an astronaut. She spent her own money to buy me jelly that day."
"Oh, that's really enviable."
"Donnas, what do you think Mars is like?"
"I don't care what it looks like, it just needs to wait to be conquered by me."
"..."
In this way, as time passed, finally, the time for launch came.
"Countdown to launch, ten! Nine! Eight!..."
"Three! Two! One!"
"emission!"
As the ten-second countdown ended, everyone's eyes were fixed on the tail of the rocket.
And soon, the nine huge nozzles at the tail of the huge rocket spurted out violent flames, and at the same time brought up majestic smoke. The smoke instantly filled the entire rocket body, and
Then, a rocket head emerged from the top of the smoke. Then, the huge Saturn 9 seemed to be carrying unparalleled momentum, soaring away from the rising smoke, and then plunged straight into the sky.
And everyone in the audience just watched the rocket take off. As time passed by, the arrow did not tilt or shake. In this way, it rose higher and higher, and gradually only a few pieces remained.
A small piece.
Then, all the onlookers burst into shocking cheers in an instant.
Every American people present feels as if they have returned to the glorious era at this moment.
At the same time, all major media in the United States announced this news that made them all excited at this moment.
Some media even published a picture comparing Saturn 9 and Tiannian. In this picture, Saturn 9 is a giant, while Tiannian is very inferior. This method is used to slander Tiannian.
Number.
It can be said that they put almost all their hopes for this technological marathon on their Mars plan.
On the Chinese side, the launch of the Mars Project has also attracted a certain amount of attention for the time being. Although the Tiannian is large, their Saturn 9 is bigger after all, even though it only takes more than two minutes.
The largest first-stage rocket is about to separate, and by then it will not be as big as the Tiannian. However, obviously not all netizens are aware of this.
Therefore, many people still touted Saturn 9.
However, today’s Chinese netizens are not the same as those ten years ago.
In addition to the cultural self-confidence they once had, today's Chinese netizens also have strong scientific and technological self-confidence. Naturally, they started a debate with those who touted the Saturn 9 on the Internet, and finally used various evidence to prove that the Tiannian,
It is more technical.
Regarding these debates, although Lin Xiao, who works at Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute, has not seen it, he can guess it.
"Americans are quite capable. They managed to deliver such a heavy thing."
When he learned that Saturn 9 had successfully entered orbit, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
No matter what, it is quite difficult for people to achieve this level.
Just let them be happy with themselves for a while first.
Of course, it’s only for two months.
According to time, their Tiannian will start its voyage to Mars in two months' time, which is June 1st.
Estimated arrival time is end of July.
As for the estimated arrival time of Project Mars... it is the end of September.
If it weren't for the purpose of getting the Tiannian back to Earth as soon as possible to avoid missing the best return time, otherwise, he even wanted to let the Tiannian stay there until September, and wait until the American rockets arrived to communicate with them first.
Say hello and then leave.
Suddenly, at this moment, Xiaomi's voice suddenly came: "Master! Come and see! I seem to have successfully deciphered a few more words!"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and came to the computer, "What? Are you sure?"
The deciphering that Xiaomi is talking about is exactly deciphering the Mayan characters that contain mysterious characters.
Although it is not yet clear whether these mysterious writings can be understood by deciphering these Mayan writings, no matter what, it is obvious that they only have this method!
"What did you decipher again?"
"These few words in the middle are connected to other contents that have been deciphered before. It means, [a number that can only be identified by itself]. The most critical information in the middle has not been deciphered yet." Xiaomi replied.
.
Lin Xiao's brows condensed.
"A number that can only be counted by itself?"
What could this be?
It always feels baffling. Of course, this translation is still in modern language. If it were a literal translation, it would probably be even weirder.
"Could it be a number that can only be divided by itself? Wouldn't that be 1?"
"But there is no requirement that it must be a natural number, nor does it say it must be an integer."
"But judging from its meaning, it is very likely that it is a prime number..."
Lin Xiao's eyes couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
According to historical records, the Mayans' mathematics was very advanced, so it is possible that they began the study of prime numbers very early. It is a pity that that period of history was buried by the colonial rulers.
After all, Euclid also started studying prime numbers very early.
However, the question now is whether this text that needs to be deciphered really represents a prime number.
After all, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself, and in Mayan writing, "1" has long been deciphered, and this text does not include the Mayan numeral representing "1".
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head. God knows what those Mayans thought back then.
Then he asked: "How did you decipher this?"
As soon as he asked the question, a picture popped up on the monitor in front of him.
Xiaomi: "Master, look at these pictures that have been uploaded to the Internet. The content on these pictures comes from the ancient Athenian documents that may have been inherited."
Lin Xiao frowned, and then saw a book appearing on the picture.
Then Xiaomi said: "The contents in this book were all copied. According to my identification, there is a lot of content in it, which should all belong to Mayan characters, so it is certain that this is a book that was inherited by luck.
The classics that record the Mayan civilization.”
Hearing Xiaomi's introduction, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, "Could it be an unknown manuscript?"
