Amid the loud roar of the four-engine engine, the 47-meter-long Y-20 slid out of the ground for a long distance and stopped steadily on the airport runway in Yidong Park.

This runway area, built according to the standards of a top civil airport, can carry the world's largest civil aircraft, but it seems a little condescending on weekdays - most of the users are short-haul spacecraft that do not have high requirements for the take-off runway, and even spaceships that can fly out of the atmosphere only need a short runway of three or four hundred meters to take off and land.

Chen Wenhao and Yan Guoping stood in the command hall, and through the large transparent viewing window, the situation in the runway area was unobstructed.

Chen Wenhao looked at the time, from the time he received the call from Commissioner Short to now, it was only more than two and a half hours. Except for the one and a half hours required for the flight, the rest of the time is estimated to be used to gather the team.

"It seems that the reaction from above is a bit strong, and in order to be in a hurry, this big guy was sent out. However, this also shows that the range of our spacecraft is still a bit short. ”

The military is the largest purchaser of spacecraft produced by Infinite Future, and the spacecraft has not been sold to the outside world, and the external sales are dual-purpose spacecraft flying in the atmosphere, from the beginning of 600 kilometers of endurance after several modifications, the latest model of the range can exceed 900 kilometers. This cruising range is more than enough for short- and medium-distance transportation. However, for the thousands of kilometers of the capital to fly to the east of Yidong, there is still a breath of air. Of course, there is still a certain gap in speed compared to jet aircraft.

Compared with Chen Wenhao, who can easily ridicule, Yan Guoping is much more serious, and confirms in a low voice, "Do you really want to make the small card public?" ”

"You can still hide it before you get bigger, but at this point, as long as you still want to do things, you have to give people an acceptable reason. Besides, Xiaoka also agreed. ”

Yan Guoping stopped talking, he actually understood this truth. When he didn't know that Xiaoka existed, he was also full of curiosity and confusion about the company's technology sources. And in online forums and various media reports, I don't know how many times the same question has been repeated. The state must have been suspicious for a long time, but it did not intervene directly for various reasons.

……

The subsequent process was not as aggressive as expected. Commissioner Short brought a team of more than 20 people, mainly composed of aerospace experts and military representatives, and Chen Wenhao was asked to speak to the members of the task force on the spacecraft and space station. Many people in the special group have seen it in various previous meetings or lectures, and Chen Wenhao has a feeling of familiarity.

The other personnel involved in the launch of the spacecraft, such as Yan Guoping, were temporarily left in the command hall, but everyone could still operate their own computers and related equipment. As long as they did not leave without permission, the few mission personnel who remained at the entrance and exit of the hall did not intervene.

Of course, for Chen Wenhao, who is always connected to the small card, the information he can grasp is beyond the imagination of ordinary people: starting from ten kilometers away from the park, there are more temporary checkpoints on several traffic arteries connected to the park, and vehicles without permission are directed to turn around or reroute. All outgoing and received calls and network signals within the park have also entered the attention of key supervision.

This is the power of the state...... Reed bamboo forest

Everyone left in the command hall didn't know this, they were a little nervous, they didn't have much work, the center of the spacecraft that had entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit was intelligent enough, and it didn't need the manual participation of the ground command, and the flight parameters and test data of each spacecraft were transmitted in real time, constantly scrolling and refreshing the screen in the ground command hall.

With the exception of some posts that focus on collecting signal data, most people's attention is devoted to a number of huge virtual projection screens in the center of the hall, which play video signals from the eight spacecraft in real time: dark, silent, boundless, but spectacular. In some perspectives, the tail flames of other ships moving forward in the cluster can also be clearly seen, which can be regarded as adding a bright color to the entire black background.

In the same hall, a relatively inconspicuous projection screen displays a countdown: 22 hours, 19 minutes and 22 seconds.

This is the estimated time from the center of the circle spacecraft to reach the designated space area.

On the other hand, Chen Wenhao's exposition as the protagonist is less leisurely and more twists and turns. After introducing the progress and breakthrough technologies of several nodes of the spacecraft and space station, Chen Wenhao took out the project documents that had been prepared long ago, and compared with the previous reports, the content of this batch of materials was more explosive, including the introduction of various technologies used in the entire project, the follow-up plan of the space station, and so on.

This made many experts of the special group excited, and even questioned it on the spot. Because many of the technologies listed in it have broken through the ceiling of domestic aerospace technology, some of them are the main direction of the experts present. In the face of these, Chen Wenhao chose to directly let the small card come out to "appear on stage". I believe that the knowledge reserve of Xiaoka is enough to eliminate these doubts.

As for secrecy, there is nothing to worry about, and those who can enter the special regiment have been strictly screened by the corresponding state departments, so there is no need to worry about secrecy on their own.

From aerospace to artificial intelligence, the difference between the two cutting-edge disciplines is not much simpler than the entanglement between a man and a woman: the farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you......

The farthest distance in the world is that I study aerospace, but you love AI, I said, when AI meets aerospace, it is the romance of science and engineering students, but you say that with AI, it is better than countless people in the world......

The development of modern science and technology is vast, and the division of labor and refinement of specialties has been a trend that has lasted for many years. Although most of the members of the special group are from various scientific research institutes and teams, and can beat 99.9% of the general population in terms of academic qualifications and knowledge, their professional direction is focused on the aerospace field after all, and the research on artificial intelligence is limited.

After Xiaoka made a series of autonomous intelligence displays, although everyone is not an expert in the artificial field, they have no shortage of common sense in cutting-edge disciplines, how can they not see the importance of Xiaoka. Shocked, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, so he quickly reached a consensus: experts in the field of artificial intelligence were invited to participate as soon as possible.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, the leaders in charge who had enough weight were paying close attention to the dynamics in the Yidong Park, and soon received a report from the special group. He is also a scientific researcher, and although he is out of the line, he can fully understand the importance of it. To be honest, if it weren't for the co-signature of many scientists with heads and faces, it would have been hard for him to believe the authenticity of the contents of the report. He smiled wryly, and it seemed that things had gone beyond his purview.

Report, request, order, dispatch. A series of actions that would normally require a process and a time-consuming period were completed in just one hour under the focus of attention from above, and the second military plane took off again with the roar of the engine, carrying a larger number of members of the second group of missions, including a number of leading figures in the field of artificial intelligence in China.
