A dark starry sky.

Like a silver dragon soaring with wings, the Tiangong space station floated smoothly in orbit around the moon.

From that far away in the sky, a long strip-shaped spacecraft slowly approached like a flat boat.

On the side of this spacecraft, the number of the word "002" is written in white paint, marking that this is the second new "launch" of the Queqiao.

At this moment, the people sitting on this Queqiao are scientific researchers from all over the world who are engaged in research in various fields.

The landing gear stretched forward, and the Queqiao, which was driving under the orbit around the moon, slowly approached the Yuegong space station.

Standing next to the porthole, looking at the silver-white planet not far away, Professor Stephen, who was wearing a spacesuit in the cabin, was silent, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh.

"Unbelievable."

Also admiring the view from the porthole, Professor Ian Crawford from Birkbeck College, University of London, looked at him with interest and asked curiously, "Unbelievable what?" ”

“…… I didn't expect the Chinese to really do it, building a scientific research base on the surface of the moon," the Adam's apple slowly moved up and down, staring at the silver earth outside the porthole, Professor Stephen continued with a complicated expression, "I always thought that they were just trying to cheat money from the United Nations. ”

The construction of a semi-permanent experimental facility on the surface of the moon, just a few months ago, sounded like a dream, and such a large sum of money was something that Europeans could not have imagined.

Professor Stephen never thought that Hua Guo could really do it.

However, the reality in front of him once again refreshed his eyeballs and his cognition.

Completed on Earth, transported by Queqiao, and airdropped to the surface of the moon, the whole construction process is as easy as building blocks.

If he hadn't seen the whole picture of the entire lunar research station from the pictures taken in the field, he wouldn't even have believed that all this was true.

Not only that, it is said that Huaguo has recently planned to build a collider on the crater to conduct physics experiments, and CERN has taken the initiative to send a team of experts to Shangjing to help Huaguo solve the technical problems of high-energy physics experiments.

Once upon a time, "Sino-European friendship" and "Silk Road" have always been on the lips of the Chinese media, but now it seems that these two words are not only frequently mentioned by the Chinese media, but also by representatives of various countries at EU meetings.

In order to participate in the lunar scientific research base project, countries have to pay a large amount of money to China in exchange for the opportunity for their own scientific researchers to participate in the lunar scientific research base project, as well as to win orders from the moon for their own enterprises......

"They've done the space industry at scale, and it's not hard for them," Professor Ian continued, "I mentioned in my paper a long time ago that developing lunar resources is the only way for our civilization to get into space. If we don't control this, someone will. ”

"That's why I say unbelievable," Professor Stephen sighed softly, "and they've done what we could only have dared to imagine in a decade." ”

After a pause, looking out the porthole at the approaching space station, Professor Stephen suddenly said something on a whim.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if Dr. Z will be on this space station."

In the last Martian bacterial event that threatened the entire Earth's ecosystem, a paper published under a pseudonym Arxiv played a decisive role.

This matter is still talked about by the entire biological community.

There are legends about Dr. Z circulating throughout the biological community, but until now, even if some official agencies have been involved in the investigation, no one has determined the identity of the hero who saved all mankind.

Suddenly hearing Dr. Z's name here, Professor Ian asked with a strange look at him.

"Why do you think he's here?"

"I studied his paper carefully and found that he was very similar in grammatical habits to several Chinese students I had taken, and my intuition told me that he should be a Chinese and that he was likely to be involved in the study of X-0172 bacteria. Now that the only patient in the world is lying in the lunar research station, there is no reason why he should not come here. ”

Professor Ian teased and said, "I remember you said some time ago that you don't believe that this kind of research results can be produced by the Huaguo Institute. ”

Professor Stephen coughed lightly and reached out to touch his nose.

"The past is the past, the present is the present, and the times are different."

While the two were talking, the Queqiao had completed docking with the Tiangong, and the hatch at the junction slowly opened.

Under the guidance of the signal light, the experts wearing the spacesuits in the cabin gathered in front of the hatch at the junction and floated into the space station through the hatch in turn.

Standing in the buffer room that equalized the air pressure, a Chinese staff member with a serious face, a tall figure, and wearing a spacesuit in the cabin stood in front of everyone.

Clearing his throat, he spoke to the crowd in standard English.

"Welcome to the Luna Palace space station, I'm the person in charge here."

"The flight to the surface of the moon will depart in three days, where you will receive three days of acclimatization training to help you better maintain your physical condition in low gravity."

"Now, according to the prescribed procedures, please show your e-passport before going to the 'Guanghan Palace' scientific research station......"

Although the Moon is the common property of the international community, the facilities built on the Moon were privately owned by various countries and organizations until they were completely abandoned.

Even if Huaguo does not claim territorial sovereignty over the area where the Guanghangong scientific research station is located, in the strict sense, this research facility is already an enclave of Huaguo on the moon and is protected by Huaguo's national power.

Therefore, it is naturally necessary to present a passport and visa before stepping into this institute......

……

What Lu Zhou didn't expect was that throughout November, he was on two hot searches in a row because of two different things.

The first time was naturally because of the quasi-Riemann conjecture.

However, this conjecture is not particularly well-known for the general public, and if you don't know mathematics, you may not even understand what the work he does means to the mathematical community, so even if it is on the hot search, the popularity is only hovering around the twenty or thirty positions.

However, this time, the completion of the lunar scientific research station directly pushed him to the top three of the major online social platforms and hot search lists.

And this lunar scientific research station named after the "Guanghan Palace", for a while, the heat of the topic instantly overshadowed the proof of the quasi-Riemann conjecture.

Not only are the world's major media reporting, but netizens all over the world are also discussing this matter enthusiastically.

As if overnight, the whole world turned its envious eyes to Huaguo.

For Lu Zhou, the eyes that focused on him and the overwhelming reports didn't attract too much attention from him, and he didn't have time to pay attention at all.

The study of the Riemann conjecture has already involved most of his energy, and the work carried out by the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee at this stage is basically carried out according to the outline he had previously formulated, and there is no need for him to worry about it at all.

However, just when Lu Zhou was hanging up with peace of mind and busy with his own affairs, something happened that made him depressed.

That is, with the early completion of the Guanghan Palace Lunar Surface Scientific Research Station beyond expectations, the second stage of the "Earth-Moon Control" task chain, "Moon Forever", was actually judged to have been completed by the system?
