From black technology to super engineering.

When Kobayashi Yukata said that she had changed her nationality, it really shocked her.

You know, it’s hard not to talk about naturalization here, and as a foreigner who has been here all year round, she knows that this country is actually very tolerant to foreigners, especially Asian faces, as long as you can speak the local language and understand a little Some of the culture, history, customs and customs here, then no one will treat you as an outsider.

Linda herself has a deep understanding of this, and she herself has been regarded as a girl from the southern province more than once.In the past, she would explain that she was from Singapore, but now she doesn't explain, she just hums and says where her ancestral home is indeed.Of course, she did not lie, her surname was Lin.

Therefore, for the change of nationality... She really didn't expect it.

Xiaolin Xiongfang saw that Linda was puzzled, but he didn't explain—how could he explain?He explained that he had started a family here, and his wife felt that the development and future of the country are obviously very good, and naturalization will definitely become more and more difficult in the future. Secondly, the country is doing a lot of welfare treatment, and now it is just in time to get on the bus. , and the third is... The country is about to launch space travel, and currently only nationals of the country are allowed to apply.

As a technology enthusiast who is crazy about space, Kobayashi Yugata accepted his wife's suggestion after careful consideration.

After all, there is nothing shameful about people going to high places.

My home country has been twitching for the past few years, and now the entire society has fallen into a split that is visible to the naked eye. Some conservatives believe that the original pattern should be maintained, and some young people have begun to protest, demanding the expulsion of US bases and full access to in the new Asian order.

For this, Kobayashi Yugata used to be very concerned about it, but now... he only cares about how the domestic space program is progressing.

The two quickly chatted about the topic of this interview after a simple exchange of pleasantries. During the exchange, Linda learned that Kobayashi Yufang is currently working for the provincial TV station, and is basically a resident reporter in the aerospace city.

Soon, with the greetings of the staff, the press conference officially began.

The two sat together in a tacit understanding.

"It depends on who hosts the press conference. If it's Mr. Ye, it means that something serious will be revealed." Xiongfang Xiaolin spoke without moving his lips.

Linda hummed lightly.

As an old reporter, she certainly knows some "hidden rules" of the press conference of the domestic aerospace department.

Basically, Professor Ye Ming, the chief scientist of the national aerospace department, is considered a trump card, and what he discloses is all bullshit.And he also likes to know everything and talk endlessly, as long as you dare to ask, he will answer whatever he can answer.

In addition, there is Director Zhang. Compared with Professor Ye Ming, Director Zhang is more bureaucratic, but the news he announced is also heavy news, but when answering questions, he will do some Tai Chi.

As for the regular speakers... basically just listen to them.

In the soft exchange among the reporters, Ye Ming was the first to walk out from the backstage.

Seeing him appear, all the reporters smiled knowingly at the same time, and then burst into applause.

……

"Thank you for the applause."

Ye Ming sat in the center of the rostrum. He smiled and looked at the media and reporters in the room. Among them, he saw many old acquaintances.

"I also thank you for participating in this year's Aerospace Day press conference. As you can see, this year's press conference will be a simple work report by me on behalf of my country's Aerospace Industry Group."

"Then, without further ado, let's get down to business."

"In the past year, we successfully completed the first phase of construction of the Guanghan Base."

Following Ye Ming's voice, a 3D scene augmented by AR reality appeared in the open area between the rostrum and the first row of reporters.

Sharp-eyed people immediately recognized that the scene was the moon.

As the scene changed, a new 3D map of the Guanghan base soon appeared.

"This is the specific situation of the Guanghan base at present. We can see that it has formed a large-scale base with a helium-3 fusion power plant as the core, integrating residence, scientific research, and industrial production."

While talking, Ye Ming looked at the AR modeling in front of him.At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to the expressions of other people - there is no social network control on Guanghan base, and the astronauts who work and live on it have long exposed the non-classified part of the base to the sky.

Hmm... Just a joke, just here, there are still some people in the United States who think this is fake-and most of these people think that the earth is flat.

But this is the first time that all buildings have been restored in such a comprehensive way and presented in 3D modeling.

All the reporters were shocked by this huge base, and there were endless clicks.

"In addition to the Guanghan base, we have also launched an unknown celestial body detection program in the past year. Currently, Xunxing 1-7 is flying towards this unknown celestial body."

As Ye Ming's voice fell, the 3D projection screen in front of him changed again, and it became a picture of six spaceships flying in a formation with hexagonal vertices guarding the center point.

"Just yesterday, Xunxing has completed the acceleration phase, and will perform a deceleration mission in three months, and will finally arrive at an unknown celestial body by the end of this year to perform the next detection mission."

Since it is a public press conference open to the whole world and the whole society, Ye Ming is very strict in his wording. He did not say that it is a black hole, but uses an unknown celestial body to describe it - because up to now, there is still no understanding of it. The exact definition and model of the black hole is really a bit ambiguous.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Ming introduced the plan of the saucer-shaped transport ship, which is actually an official approval, or to refute rumors - such a large saucer-shaped spaceship cannot be hidden, and there are already good people, In other words, conspiracy theorists have begun to associate domestic technological development with aliens.

You see, the flying saucer is the evidence!

Hearing this, Ye Ming was naturally unhappy.

It was clearly demanded by the National Nuclear Corporation, but after the design was over, he worked so hard to design it, and the shipyard built it day and night, so he didn't care about the aliens!

"This disc-shaped transport ship, I can assure you, has nothing to do with aliens."

Ye Ming looked at the flying saucer in the 3D screen: "This is a large transport ship. It cleverly uses the anti-gravity force field to load and unload large cargo with ease. So, please help spread the rumor."

Saying that, Ye Ming paused, then grinned: "Don't think about how powerful aliens' technology is all day long. The universe is relative. If there are alien civilizations, we are also aliens in their eyes. Our technology , is also alien technology.”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, followed by applause.

Ye Ming smiled and took a sip from his water glass.

Then he glanced at the manuscript paper.

"Next, I will mainly introduce our main work and tasks this year."

"First of all, we will start the first phase of the space city project in half a month, which is the space observatory project."

Following Ye Ming's voice, the AR screen ahead also changed again.

……

Linda stared intently at the huge "round drum" floating quietly in the air.

That's right... In her eyes, the complete appearance of this space city is indeed a rolling barrel.

It still takes the controllable nuclear fusion engine stack as the core, and then extends it to form a circle, and expands by building blocks continuously, and finally becomes a barrel.

Seeing it floating quietly in space, Linda felt a little stunned.

This kind of project that only existed in science fiction works in the past... has actually been included in the plan, and it is really going to be built step by step!

——If it was another country and someone else who announced it, she would definitely think that it was just a deceitful pie.

It's like...the one who wants to land on Mars and immigrate to Mars.

Hmm... It seems that that person doesn't mention immigration to Mars much now.

Think about it, whether it’s emigrating to Mars, or emigrating to the moon, or living in a space city, they are essentially “escape from the earth”, nothing more than far and near—it used to be technically difficult, but now, in space After four years of stable and accident-free operation of the spacecraft, where is there any technical difficulty?
But, from Ye Ming's mouth, from this country...

Linda felt that this was not drawing cakes, but showing everyone a work schedule.

In the past six years, in all the space day conferences she participated in, none of the news and domestic plans she received was unfinished—they were only completed ahead of schedule, and there was no delay.

Ye Ming's voice sounded again: "Of course, this is the complete plan of the space city project, and we plan to spend ten years to complete it."

"And to do it, we need a convenient industrial base in space, on the moon."

"It is a fact that we all agree that when we enter the space age, the earth's resources will become more precious." Ye Ming laughed, and he looked meaningfully at the man from Australia sitting in the corner. Reporter: "Therefore, some countries on the earth that are rich in various resources such as iron ore are currently selling at low prices... This behavior is actually unwise."

All the reporters present here are all good people, how could they not understand Ye Ming's implication?All you need to do is follow his gaze, and everyone will smile knowingly.

Australia's mines are of really high quality.

But because it has been following in the footsteps of Laomei, it did not restrict this place back then, so it began to look for replacements all over the world in a fit of anger.

Now the iron mines in Southeast Asia have been taken down, and the mines in Africa have also been taken down steadily, and even the moon... has begun to be mined.

Australia is a little worried.

It is a country with resources, and its resources have been abandoned by the world's strongest industrial country. How do you think it can live well?

The Australian reporter blushed immediately, pretending not to understand what Ye Ming said.

Fortunately, Ye Ming didn't say much, but continued: "We believe that all resources on the earth, whether it is water, soil, oil, gas, or mines, will be our inheritance and savings for future generations—our It must be left to them, too, for the future."

"For this reason, we will also launch asteroid belt exploration this year to increase the use of space resources."

Ye Ming's introduction took half an hour, and the host began to take over the topic: "Next, we will enter the questioning session."

After the voice fell, he raised his hands like a forest in an instant.

Ye Ming took a sip of water and looked at the old acquaintances in the audience.

Finally, his eyes settled on Linda's face which he hadn't seen for several years.

"Friends of Lianhe Zaobao."

……

Linda took two very short breaths, clenched her fists and let them go before standing up.

She really did not expect that she would be the first to be called by name, so she was not fully prepared for the question.

But... Now that it's all started, and the person who answered is Ye Ming-Ye Ming is known for knowing everything, which means that she has enough time to think on the spot.

"Hello, Academician Ye, just now you mentioned that the black hole detection program will be one of the important work items this year, but we also know that in the past few months, there have been voices from the international community, including voices from the scientific and aerospace communities. I believe that the black hole detection program is a dangerous behavior."

Ye Ming looked at her with a smile, nodded slowly, and signaled her to continue.

"Then, my question is, what do you think of these opposing voices? And, how sure are you of the results of black hole detection? Moreover, can you tell us what we are most likely to encounter after the black hole? thanks."

After Linda finished asking in one breath, the eyes of all the reporters also stayed on Ye Ming's face.

It has to be said that a gold medal reporter is a gold medal reporter, and the question immediately touched the hearts of everyone.

The reporters who came here today counted as one, and they were not the kind of laymen—every reporter who applied to participate in the press conference would submit information and then pass the review before they could come here.

In the past, the media still had the old-fashioned idea that they only needed to send a reporter over, but as the number of rejections increased, the media also found the way to send some professionals, at least with some knowledge. The reporter comes over.

Otherwise... you are a layman in aerospace, wouldn't you be listening to the scriptures here?

Therefore, everyone is very clear that today's press conference, don't look at the space factory, the space city, the asteroid belt detection, the Guanghan base...

But in essence, they are all revolving in the solar system. In recent days, they are revolving in low-Earth orbit.

The real sea of ​​stars depends on whether the wormhole can be verified and whether it can cross space!

Therefore, black hole detection is the top priority.

And what's behind the black hole...

Frankly speaking, over the past year, especially in the past few months since the launch of black hole detection, people have done a lot of speculation about what is behind the black hole.

Except for those meaningless conjectures that "nothing will happen if you drill into a black hole", the biggest conjecture is what kind of world human beings are about to face.

Will that world be full of malice, will it be dangerous, will it... cause a crisis for mankind.

——If you say no, then why use six spaceships to build a defensive membrane?

But all guesses are not as accurate and important as Ye Ming's own words.

"There's still half a year left, just wait."

Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds, then smiled softly.
