Chapter 68: Hades


Please vote for recommendation and favorites We have to start talking about this in 1998.

In 1998, NASA established the 98 Project.

The main part of this plan was to launch a probe to Mars to study the atmosphere and climate of Mars. and the surface of Mars, and help the subsequent Mars Polar Landers communicate with the Earth.

The entire 98 Plan is based on human exploration and research of Mars starting from the Mars-1 probe executed by the former Soviet Union in 1952.

Since the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union have launched dozens of probes to Mars.

Some of them were successful, and some crashed or disintegrated due to various reasons.

After the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union disintegrated, but NASA did not interrupt its exploration and research on Mars.

Throughout the 1990s, the United States alone launched six Mars probes, not including the same launches by Russia, Japan and other countries. plan.

In 1998, NASA decided to once again launch a Mars Climate Probe to Mars with a total cost of 327.6 million US dollars.

This probe was named the Mars Climate Probe.

On December 11, 1998 It was launched from the Space Launch Complex 17 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 18:45:51 UTC, using the Delta II7425 launch vehicle.

After burning the fuel for 42 minutes, the Mars Climate Explorer successfully entered the Hohmann transfer orbit.

The rocket's final relative speed was 55 kilometers per second and sent the probe to a target 669 million kilometers away, heading towards Mars.

The success of the launch made the entire National Aeronautics and Space Administration very happy.

After 10 months of space flight, the Mars Climate Explorer began preparing to insert into the Mars orbit at 9:00:46 UTC on September 23, 1999.

The Mars Climate Explorer However, the number's radio suddenly terminated contact at 9:04:52 UTC 49 seconds earlier than expected, and the trace was lost.

According to the original calculations and judgments, human operation error caused the Mars Climate Explorer to approach Mars at a lower altitude than expected, and eventually disintegrated due to the pressure of the atmosphere.

To this end, on November 10, 1999, the Mars Climate Orbiter Accident Investigation Committee released the first phase report detailing the problems that may have caused the probe to cause an accident.

More than ten years have passed since this incident, when everyone thought that the Mars Climate Explorer had long ago disintegrated and disappeared, and this result was also recognized by the committee.

But no one expected that just half a year ago, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration suddenly received a radio message sent back to the earth from space.

After decoding it, they were shocked to find that this message actually came from the Mars climate probe that had disappeared for 15 years.

The number.

When the information cracker immediately reported the incident to the superiors, the first reaction was that it was an April Fool's Day joke, and the second reaction was that the information was wrong, possibly due to the atmosphere and volatilization of the Mars launcher launched on November 18, 2013.

The information returned by Evolution is confused and misreported.

But after repeated verification, it turned out that this was not a joke, let alone a false alarm.

It was indeed the information returned by the Mars Climate Explorer that had been missing for 15 years.

Moreover, according to the information positioning, not only did the Mars Climate Explorer not It crashed or disintegrated on the surface of Mars, but passed the orbit of Mars and continued flying in space until it was captured by Pluto's gravity due to inertia and entered Pluto's orbit.

No one expected that the Mars Climate Explorer would almost fly out of the solar system and reach the orbit of Pluto.

This was a result that the people who hosted the launch did not expect.

What’s even more incredible is that when NASA experts began to conduct a detailed analysis of the information sent back by the Mars Climate Explorer, they actually discovered an obvious spot in several blurry Pluto detection photos.

Traces of man-made objects.

Moreover, this man-made object is not as ambiguous as the "human face" on Mars and the cigar-shaped celestial body similar to a spacecraft orbiting behind Mars.

Although the resolution of the photo is very poor and the information transmission is greatly distorted, it can be found after repeated comparisons.

These are indeed traces of man-made objects, because if observed from various angles, it would be absolutely impossible for a natural celestial body to look like this.

This result immediately caused a sensation within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

It was clear to experts what it meant that a man-made object was discovered on Pluto.

There are only two reasons for this situation.

One reason is that there has been or still is life on Pluto, and the second reason is that there are bases or facilities left by alien civilizations on Pluto.

No matter what the reason is, this is a result that experts are ecstatic about.

But just when the experts were preparing to conduct further research on what they discovered on Pluto, NASA received an order from the government, so it was related to Pluto.

All the information on the incident was handed over and transferred to other departments for investigation.

A hush-hush order was also issued on the Pluto incident.

All information was classified as top secret and must not be leaked.

In the end, the matter was sealed, and the research on Pluto's anomalies was transferred to Paradise Ranch, also known as Area 51 to the outside world.

At the same time, the NRO intelligence agency is responsible for this and will continue to conduct research and analysis.

It was at this time that Raymond Anthony learned about this incident.

After learning about the incident and using his connections to obtain the verified results that there were alien civilization facilities on Pluto, Raymond Anthony immediately thought of himself and what he was about to do.

A life that is almost over.

Relying on Earth's technology, although Raymond Anthony has unparalleled financial resources and supreme power, he still cannot make himself live forever, or hope to return to the state of his youth.

However, the discovery of the alien civilization on Pluto made Raymond Anthony see the only remaining hope in the last period of his life.

If he could obtain advanced alien civilization technology on Pluto, then his life would have the possibility of continuation.

You can even live forever, which is what Raymond Anthony dreams of.

In order to achieve this goal, Raymond Anthony used all his tricks to persuade the government to establish a so-called "Zeus Project".

On the surface, this Zeus Project is aimed at U.S. aerospace technology's exploration and research of Pluto's alien civilization technology. , but in fact Raymond Anthony wanted to take this opportunity to gain his own immortality.

To complete this plan, the first problem is to build a spacecraft that can reach Pluto.

However, from the current technology point of view, the propulsion power and energy sustainability of the spacecraft are a major problem that limits human beings from long-term voyages in space.

If Unable to solve this difficulty, Raymond Anthony's Zeus plan is a castle in the air, and it is absolutely impossible to reach Pluto.

At this time, Professor Kevin Adams's article on controlled thermonuclear fusion caught the attention of Raymond Anthony. aa2705221:
