From all-round academic master to chief scientist

"Alexander Wolf was found still alive."

When Firefly 1 discovered Alexander crawling on the red soil, the news was known to the Tiannian, and then it was transmitted back to the earth. All the people on the earth who were paying attention to this matter were all excited. .

Undoubtedly, everyone is excited to hear such good news.

But after waiting for almost ten hours, Alexander Wolf successfully arrived at the material landing module through the transportation of Firefly 1, and then contacted the Tiannian through the communicator on it.

Then another piece of bad news came back.

All signs of life disappeared from the other four people.

In other words, the Mars Project officially declared a failure, and it was achieved at the expense of four astronauts' sacrifices and one astronaut's serious injury.

This makes everyone on earth feel sad.

Humanity once again ushered in the darkest moment in the history of spaceflight.

The last time such a darkest moment occurred in 2003, when humans sacrificed seven astronauts.

However, when something like this happens, there is nothing anyone can do.

Of course, in the midst of the world's grief, here in the White House, the president was furious.

"Why is this guy the only one still alive? Why aren't they all dead?"

When he heard the president's words, the secretary of state next to him quickly said: "Mr. President, you can't let others hear your words now."

The president snorted coldly and asked, "Then what do we do now?"

"Now that we want to contact Alexander, we even have to communicate it through the Chinese. Once Alexander says something that shouldn't be said, huh, look what the Chinese will do!"

The Secretary of State also had a look of helplessness on his face.

He had never executed such a failed plan, but when he recalled the whole process, he had a helpless expression on his face.

This time it’s really a god versus a pig teammate.

The opponent is the smartest scientist in the world, or can be said to be the smartest in human history. Even the Secretary of State has to admit this.

Then looking back at their side, Jayden Armstrong is an absolute pig teammate.

When he learned that the Mars was about to brake and decelerate, but because of Jayden Armstrong, they missed the optimal deceleration time, he thought that Jayden Armstrong's heart was going to be stabbed.

Finally, something unexpected happened.

The amount of fuel at that dangerous level is basically only theoretically sufficient to allow a safe landing.

Of course, if an accident happens, it happens. It would be best if all of them died in the end. They would give the most solemn funeral to these five astronauts who died heroically. However, the problem is, among them, there are One person survived, and it was the person they least expected to survive.

That's why they are so anxious.

After all, who made Alexander too upright? Once he comes back, there is a high probability that he will reveal all the truth.

And the most important thing is that Alexander Wolf came back on the Chinese Tiannian, so Alexander will definitely land on the earth from the Chinese side. They want to control Alexander, but they still need the Chinese Agree over there.

If Hua Guo does not agree, then they and others will be in trouble.

But no matter what, although the Chinese may not agree, they still have to give it a try, and their attitude must be tougher.

So then, he told the president about the matter, but at this time the president was tired of these things. Fortunately, he waved it away and said, "I'll leave it all to you."

"Okay, Mr. President."

After receiving the authorization, the Secretary of State immediately showed a smile on his face, then left the office and began to carry out the matter.

However, watching the Secretary of State leave, a trace of cruelty flashed in the President's eyes. If the final incident was completely out of control, then he would need to find someone with a high enough status to take the blame. And obviously , the Secretary of State who has been advising from the beginning to the end is the best candidate.

And he, the president, just needs to ensure that he is innocent at all times.

…

Time passed quickly.

In the following time, people all over the world were paying attention to the life safety of the last surviving person. Until a few days passed, Zhang Wei and Guo Jianwei, members of the Chinese "Ying" project team, drove the Mars rover and successfully picked up Alexander Wo. News of her husband was also sent back to Earth.

At this time, people all over the world are finally relieved. With the help of the Chinese people, there will definitely be no problem.

In response to this, many interested foreigners went to the official media of the Chinese Space Administration to express their gratitude to China.

In any case, this is all thanks to Hua Guo. No matter how hostile it is, it has to be praised.

And as Alexander was officially brought to the Tiannian, people all over the world finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, in the eyes of everyone, China's aerospace aircraft represents safety.

And within a day, the Tiannian officially restarted and began the process of returning home.

…

In the cave where Mars planned to fall.

"Shashasha~"

The sound of wheels rolling on the sand came from the entrance of the cave, and a moment later, Firefly 2 drove in.

The camera on top of it moved around, observing the situation inside.

Soon, the intelligence written by Xiaomi inside quickly discovered the damaged landing module.

Firefly 2 turned again and drove towards the damaged landing module. Of course, with its current camera height, it was obviously impossible to see what was inside the landing module.

However, this does not hinder the intelligence inside.

With the sound of motor transmission, the camera pole automatically rose, and soon it reached a height where the inside could be seen.

Then, a photo was taken, and then the intelligence inside began to analyze it.

[Analyzing photos...]

[The bodies of three astronauts were identified and identified: Bischi Smith, Tenia Schmidt, and James King. 】

[Comparing information...]

[There are two holes that fell into. The specific locations are the main driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat of the Mars landing module. The main driver's seat is Alexander Wolf, who has been rescued now, and the co-pilot's seat is Jayden Armstrong...]

[Jaden Armstrong’s body is missing! 】

[Emergency occurs, encrypted transmission begins...]

Then, Firefly 2 circled around the landing module again. Finally, it discovered the ruins pressed below by the landing module, and also saw a missing gap on it.

As for this photo, it was directly sent back to the earth in an ordinary way.

Then, it circled here a few more times, and then sent the photos it took back to the earth. After doing all this, it "rustled" and left the place where three astronauts were buried, but strangely disappeared. A cave with corpses.

…

Earth.

The command center received the photos sent back by Firefly 2, and was surprised to find the ruins in the photos.

They didn't expect that they would actually discover a ruins, and it happened to be pressed underneath by the Mars landing module.

As for the gap above, it was ignored.

Of course, it is impossible to send people to explore this ruins now. After all, the Tiannian has already left Mars.

But no matter what, this information is still very valuable.

After just one month on Mars, they were able to discover three Martian ruins. To a certain extent, this was even more efficient than their search for ruins on Earth.

Of course, the command center only received these ordinary photos, but they did not receive the encrypted and transmitted photo.

Because after this photo is encrypted and transmitted, only Xiaomi can receive it.

And Xiaomi naturally transmitted the news to Lin Xiao.

When Lin Xiao saw this photo, he was stunned.

What? !

Jaden Armstrong's missing body?

How could the body be missing?

So, that obviously means that this person is not dead at all.

But soon, Lin Xiao shook his head again. Even if he survived and did not die, he would eventually die sooner or later.

After all, with their oxygen reserves, it is impossible to survive on Mars for long, not to mention that the cave is also far away from their material landing module. With their oxygen, it is impossible to reach it.

Even Alexander relied on the oxygen on Firefly 1 to get there in the end.

So Lin Xiao didn't pay too much attention.

However, at this moment, Xiaomi's voice suddenly sounded again.

"Master, I have found a way to decipher the mysterious text!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was stunned.

Found a way to decipher it?

In a moment, he forgot all about the situation on Mars, and asked in surprise: "How did you decipher it?"

Later, Xiaomi told Lin Xiao the method of deciphering.

And this method, as Lin Xiao originally imagined, has something to do with strokes and order.

First, you need to number the five Mathematician books from one to five in order, and then use the words composed of mysterious characters in the mysterious ruins. If the word has only one letter, choose the first book, and if the word has two letters, choose the second book. By analogy, if there are more than five letters, subtract five, and if there are more than ten, subtract ten.

For example, if the word consists of six letters, then choose the first book, and if it is eight letters, then choose the third book.

After deciding which book to choose, you need to discuss based on the order of each mysterious character among the 77 characters and their strokes.

If a word consists of six mysterious characters, then choose the first book, and the first letter is the 23rd digit, and the strokes are two strokes, then find the (23*2) number in this book, That is the 46th character.

Then the second letter is the 36th character, and the stroke is only one stroke, then find the (46*36*1) character in the classics.

The third letter is the 18th character, and the stroke is two strokes, which is the (46*36*18*2) character.

By analogy, if the product exceeds the total number of words in this book, then the words that have been found will form the meaning of the word.

This is like a special password, and these classics are equivalent to code books.

After listening to Xiaomi's story, Lin Xiao was extremely surprised.

With such a complicated deciphering method, it’s no wonder Xiaomi spent so long.

If someone really wants to crack it, God knows how long it will take. Without luck, it is almost impossible to solve these things.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head, it was really troublesome.

"Okay, Xiaomi, let me translate the meaning of the mysterious words in this Mayan ruins."

Xiaomi immediately responded: "Okay!"

Soon, it replied: "This means: Which ones can only be divided by 1 and itself, give an example of 100."

Hearing this question, Lin Xiao was stunned.

Good guy, isn't this a prime number?

He couldn't help but think of the original decipherment of the Mayan characters on it, and the meaning was actually very close.

Of course, no matter what, this question is really a bit... too simple, right?

But he soon got over it. From a modern perspective, these things were of course very simple.

For people thousands of years ago, these problems were somewhat difficult to understand.

So Lin Xiao no longer had any doubts.

And then, he asked Xiaomi to decipher the words in all the mysterious ruins they had discovered so far.

Finally, these problems that had stumped them for so long were finally solved satisfactorily.

It's just that all the known problems are very difficult.

These problems are all mathematical problems, and the simplest one is even simpler than listing 100 prime numbers. It only requires calculating a multiplication within 100.

The most difficult one is, at best, just proving that there are infinitely many prime numbers.

And this problem has long been proved by Euclid.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel confused.

If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that he passed the level directly?

God, times have changed.

Your question is too simple.

Finally, he shook his head, but suddenly he remembered the ruins on Mars again.

The problem on Earth is so simple, but what about Mars?

With this thought in his mind, he immediately asked Xiaomi to decipher the relic words on Mars.

The altar in the cave was suppressed by the Mars landing module, so all the words inside could not be seen at all, but the other two ruins could be read.

However, when Xiaomi cracked the first one, he was stunned.

"Write...the general formula for prime numbers?"

Is this the general formula for writing prime numbers?

He was immediately surprised. Their problems on Earth were so simple, why were their problems on Mars so difficult?

The general formula of prime numbers is a problem that has not yet been solved on their planet, and even if the Riemann Hypothesis is solved, it does not mean that the general formula of prime numbers has been found.

The proof of the Riemann Hypothesis can be used to determine the number of prime numbers within a certain range, but this is not a general formula for prime numbers.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but asked quickly: "What about the second ruins?"

Soon, Xiaomi translated it, and the meaning was to prove that P=NP?

Seeing this, Lin Xiao was stunned. Prove that P=NP?

This question is just that, "prove"!

In other words, can P be equal to NP?

This immediately reminded him that he had successfully falsified this problem because he found a one-way function, but the system later said something, and it clearly told him that P can indeed be equal to NP.

Of course, these issues are not what he wants to explore now. What he wants to know is that the "god" left such difficult problems on Mars, doesn't it mean that...

The level of civilization on Mars is beyond their imagination?

Lin Xiao looked at the sky outside the window. The planet became more and more mysterious.

…

No matter what, now that I have found a way to crack it, I should tell Yue Shisi.

There are so many simple questions left on the earth, and I don’t know what Yue Shisi will say after hearing them.

After arriving at Yueshi Division, Lin Xiao learned that Liao Cheng and the others were in a meeting, probably studying the photos sent back by Firefly 2.

He entered the conference room and listened for a while, but they had to finish talking, so they soon started chatting.

Ren Guohua, director of the Space Administration, said: "Speaking of which, the Americans are asking us all day long to take the Tiannian back to Earth immediately. They say they want to prevent Alexander from escaping, and they also ask us not to tell Alexander this. thing."

"What are you saying to prevent Alexander from killing our three astronauts?"

"Tsk, I don't know what they think. According to the information sent back by Zhang Wei and the others, Alexander doesn't look like a bad guy."

"He prayed for his four teammates every day on the Tiannian. He also said that if he had not made a mistake in judgment when trying to land, otherwise this disaster would not have happened. He also said that he was guilty."

After hearing Ren Guohua's words, everyone else shook their heads.

"Maybe people really feel guilty."

But at this time, Ren Guohua said: "Oh, also, he also said that he was the captain, and he failed in his responsibility."

Hearing this, everyone else was stunned. "Isn't their captain that Armstrong?"

At this time, Lin Xiao spoke, "So NASA obviously has something on its mind."

Lin Xiao's words made everyone look at him again.

"Why do you say that?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "Just let Zhang Wei and the others ask more questions. For example, what happened to them that would cause this kind of thing to happen. There must be something fishy in it. Even if NASA's technology is not as good as ours, this kind of problem should not happen." "

Ren Guohua narrowed his eyes and finally nodded: "That makes sense. I'll ask Zhang Wei and the others to ask more questions when I get back."

Everyone else nodded.

At this time, Liao Cheng said to Lin Xiao: "Chief Lin, why are you here? I remember asking you before the meeting. Did you say you wouldn't come?"

Lin Xiaoze said calmly: "I deciphered the mysterious text."

This sentence was truly shocking. Everyone present immediately stood up and looked at Lin Xiao excitedly.

"Chief Lin, are you serious about this?"

Lin Xiao didn't waste any time, walked to the multimedia in front, and after some manipulation, opened the information.

Listening to Lin Xiao's story, the people present gradually changed from surprise to shock, and finally to dementia.

Good guy, are you serious about such a complicated deciphering method?

However, Lin Xiao then showed them the deciphering results of the relic texts.

"The subject, predicate, object, and host expressions of these sacred texts are basically similar to those of Mayan characters. It seems that Mayan characters are also imitated from these sacred texts."

"Okay, that's almost it."

After saying that, Lin Xiao took another look at everyone present.

Not surprisingly, these people were all shocked and speechless.

Although they were slightly unconvinced by Lin Xiao's complicated deciphering method at first, after seeing that it could indeed be translated into words, they had no choice but to believe it.

As a result, everyone said to Lin Xiao with admiration: "Chief Lin, I really have to rely on you!"
