I collect gold fingers in the heavens

Chapter 473 Global Live Streaming
1:[-] AM.

NASA, Satellite Communications Division.

Mindy Parker poured a cup of coffee and returned to her desk.

At this time, a communication message lit up on the computer screen.

The message is from Vincent Kapoor.

Vincent Kapoor is NASA's Director of Mars Missions.

Mindy Parker clicked on it to ask her to check the situation of a certain coordinate position on Mars.

Seeing this, she turned on the system without any hesitation and entered the latitude and longitude sent by Vincent.

When I saw it, I noticed something was wrong.

She kept zooming in on the satellite images and comparing them with those from a month ago. Her expression changed drastically. She picked up the phone and called the security guard, asking for Vincent's emergency contact number.

2:[-] AM.

NASA Administrator Sandy Saunders, Mars Mission Director Vincent and NASA Media Relations Director Anne Montrose gathered in the Satellite Communications Division to look at pictures of Mars satellites on the big screen.

Compared with the satellite pictures thirty days ago, there are several things in the pictures now:
"The solar panels have been cleaned, Rover 2 was originally charging, but now it has been moved, and there is an extra machine!" Vincent said.

"Damn it!" murmured Anne Montrose.

"What do you think that machine is?" Sandy Sanders asked gravely.

"I don't know..." Vincent shook his head, and said, "If it wasn't an industrial product made by the Martians, then only... oh... Pathfinder! Mark! It must be Mark! Mark is not dead! The Pathfinder has been dug up! He wants to contact us!"

Vincent suddenly remembered this matter, he smiled wryly, and said, "Looks like I have to catch a plane!"

"Where?" asked Anne Montrose, director of media relations, puzzled.

"California, Jet Propulsion Laboratory," Sandy Sanders said, looking at the satellite picture without blinking.

"Yes." Vincent never left the satellite picture.

the next morning.

Vincent came to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

The director of the laboratory is a Chinese named Bruce Wu. He received Vincent, and several people came to the warehouse at the corner of the laboratory.

Here's a machine -- a replica of the 1997 Mars rover -- [Pathfinder].

"Okay, let's act." Vincent glanced at the machine with emotion, and said to Bruce Wu and other engineers in the laboratory.

They expertly start machines and connect systems.

Not long after it was finished, the old desktop computer showed that it had received a remote sensing signal.

Vincent's face suddenly burst into a joyful smile.

He couldn't help clapping his hands.

There is also an indescribable excitement among several other engineers, who operate the system.

An engineer said, "Camera."

As soon as the voice fell, the camera on the replica of the [Pathfinder] started to move.

"Okay, take a panoramic photo." Said the engineer in front of the computer.

The camera moved again.

Vincent looked back at the engineer in front of the computer, "Did you get the signal? Did the photo come?"

"I'm thinking we'd be better off seeing a vibrant red planet than seeing a pure black screen."

"What's wrong?" Vincent was puzzled.

"Tim is our best communication expert, and we appreciate his meanness." Bruce Wu explained to Vincent in a humorous tone, then turned his head and said viciously to Tim, "I will kill you! "

He was warning Tim not to be funny.

Tim shrugged and said that he was helpless. The computer screen was completely black, but soon, a black and white photo was sent over.

Above the photo are three card boards inserted into the ground.

The two card boards on the left and right say "YSE" and "NO"!
The card board in the middle reads: "You can see it, right? It's too troublesome to communicate like this. We will find a way to update the system of the rover and connect it to the broadcast of the Pathfinder, so that we can better communicate. !"

This suggestion is really great!

Because according to the current situation, only one-way contact can be made through the [Pathfinder], and the transmission of information is extremely difficult.

Slightly more complex information transmission will be very time-consuming and energy-consuming.

The suggestion given by Wu Siyuan allows the two parties to communicate in text and transmit complex information to each other. Of course, because of the distance between the ground and fire, a minimum waiting time of 22 minutes for communication is essential!
"Mark is a genius!" Vincent couldn't help saying when he saw this sentence.

Others also brightened their eyes.

As everyone knows, this method was originally thought up by them, but it was plagiarized by Wu Siyuan in advance.

In short, after two days of complicated communication, Wu Siyuan finally obtained the underlying code given by the other party, successfully modified the Rover 2, and the two parties were finally able to communicate with each other with a delay of 22 minutes.

NASA has long publicized this matter, and decided to broadcast the first communication globally.

This is also a characteristic of the United States, happy funerals!

Or, expectancy management.

For example, when an important data is to be announced, because they are worried that it will impact the market, they falsely spread an exaggerated data, and then the stock market immediately panics. .

When the market saw it, it felt that it was positive, so the stock market rose again without plummeting. This is expectation management!
The United States can be said to be proficient in playing this set.

Obviously leaving Mark on Mars is their fault.

However, through packaging, they make others feel that they are doing a great and meaningful thing.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

Under the eyes of everyone, Vincent typed the first sentence, "I am Vincent Kapoor. We have been watching you since the 54th day of Mars. The whole world is applauding for your safe return. Good job finding Pathfinder, we're working on a rescue plan, and we're preparing a resupply mission to give you enough to last until Ares IV arrives."

after the information is sent.

Twenty-two minutes later, Wu Siyuan received the message in his rover on Mars.

As soon as he thought about it, he sent a message, "The whole world? Vincent, you won't tell me, it's a global live broadcast now, right?"

Forty-five minutes later.

Wu Siyuan saw the message on the screen, "Yes, we are broadcasting live globally, and the whole world is watching you! Behind you is all of us!"

The corners of Wu Siyuan's mouth raised slightly, that's really great.
