But then again, now that he had found the signal source, Zhou Chen's mood naturally relaxed, and he didn't trace back to the source and explore more complex things, but handed over this icosahedral spherical emission source to Cao Jiangfeng, and asked him to organize scientists from the Academy of Sciences to analyze this emission source.

Anyway, the internal power supply of the emission source can last for a few years, and it should be possible to study something, if there is really no result in the end, there is no way.

After explaining the incident, Zhou Chen returned to Earth in a flying machine.

At this time, the time has entered the end of 2016, the north has been snowing goose feathers, from the high altitude, the whole city of Beijing is in a vast white snow, the snow naturally adds a bit of reckless and solemn feeling to this ancient and young city.

Getting off the plane, the cold and biting taste of being outdoors came over me in an instant. In the past few days, the cold wind from Siberia has been whistling and roaring, like a savage giant pressing on the territory, bringing the chill of the northern region.

"It's really cold to the marrow!" Zhou Chen rubbed his shoulders and hurriedly quickened his pace and hurried towards his nest.

At this time, in his relatively spacious cabin, the indoor temperature was just pleasant, Yang Xi was wearing an off-white sweater, wearing an apron, and was cooking soup in the kitchen. The tumbling steam fluttered on the stove, changing shapes in the air from time to time, and Yang Xi's attention was completely focused on the delicate brown soup casserole.

The sky outside was getting darker, and when I looked at the time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Xi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking that he had gone out to buy ingredients for soup at noon, and wanted to surprise Zhou Chen, but who knew that Zhou Chen ran away in the afternoon.

"It's still there in the morning, but I don't know where to run in the afternoon!" She muttered to herself as she looked at the churning soup. Watching the soup in the pot gradually boil, a rich fragrance overflowed in the room, and I couldn't help but take a gentle sip, with a satisfied smile on my face.

During this period of time, Zhou Chen often disappeared for no reason, and Yang Xi gradually became accustomed to it. She knows Zhou Chen's personality very well, so she has nothing to worry about except for expressing helplessness about Zhou Chen's intermittent disappearance.

It's just that as time continued, her hidden curiosity also became impatient, and a thought gradually arose in her heart, urging her to know more about Zhou Chen.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door at the entrance, Yang Xi opened the door in the kitchen and poked her head out, she knew that this was Zhou Chen's return.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

As soon as Zhou Chen entered the room, he smelled the fragrance overflowing in the room, and saw Yang Xi wearing an apron at this time, holding a small soup spoon in his hand, staring at him with a pair of big eyes, looking cute, and unconsciously showing a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhou Chen coming back, Yang Xi hurriedly turned off the stove, brought out the cooked soup, and said with a smile: "You are a busy man, why don't you come over and help me serve the food together?" After speaking, she glanced at him charmingly, full of disgust.

Zhou Chen smiled, hurriedly flashed into the kitchen, and brought out a few plates of cooked dishes.

"What a hearty meal today!" Bringing out the food, Zhou Chen looked at the table full of delicacies and praised him sincerely, and then took the initiative to serve Yang Xi rice, the delicate small bowl was pressed not high or low, and it was served with a very detailed reference to Yang Xi's amount of food.

At this time, he still has the appearance of a fleet commander, as if he has become a good man who loves his girlfriend.

Looking at Zhou Chen's courteous appearance, Yang Xi showed a faint smile on his face, and couldn't help but scold him with a smile: "Okay, why don't you come over for dinner soon, remember to wash the dishes later!" ”

"That's nature, I'll wash the dishes when you cook!" Zhou Chen said with a smile.

For Yang Xi, Zhou Chen felt a little guilty in his heart, he often couldn't find time to accompany her because of the matter of the Earth Fleet, but she didn't ask too much why, but always understood herself silently, and took care of her life from time to time, sometimes Zhou Chen would sigh, what a good girl this is!

"I can cook again, and I'm so considerate, I should have married you home sooner!" After a few bites of rice, Zhou Chen suddenly said for no reason.

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at him, with a smile on his face: "That's good, when I graduate, you will marry me!" ”

Zhou Chen smiled, looking at the faint ruddy floating on Yang Xi's delicate face, at this moment, there was a feeling of overwhelming the country and the city, "Then it's a word, in two years, no, to be exact, another year and a half, you can be ready to be a bride with peace of mind!" ”

"Hehe......" Yang Xi nodded slightly, and returned to his demure appearance.

In fact, the news being broadcast at this time has long been a hot topic in the past few days, under the bombardment of traditional media and online platforms, there are few people in the streets and alleys who don't know, CCTV's hourly news, just bring them together:

"The China Space Administration announced that it will send another probe to the moon early next year, and this probe launch will investigate the geomorphological features of the moon, and also provide experimental support for the upcoming manned lunar landing program!"

"The chief scientist of the manned lunar landing project of the China Space Administration revealed that China's manned lunar landing program plans to achieve astronauts landing on the moon by 2025."

The China Space Administration announced that China's Mars exploration program is expected to make progress ahead of schedule, with the Mars probe, originally scheduled for launch in 2020, expected to be launched earlier than the end of 2018. It is also reported that while the Mars exploration program is progressing, China's Jupiter exploration program has also been officially put on the agenda. ”

"The University of Science and Technology of China News Center said that the university has made an important breakthrough in quantum secure communication technology, and is expected to complete long-distance entanglement experiments around 2022, when the communication technology may participate in the Jupiter exploration program, and as the world's first practical quantum communication, long-distance experiments in the solar system."

NASA recently announced that due to irresistible factors, the agency will terminate the follow-up test program of the Juno probe. At the same time, it was announced that the Knower I. probe, a replacement for the Juno probe, will be launched in the middle of next year. ”

"NASA experts revealed that the United States intends to restart the moon landing program that has been stalled for many years, and reiterated that the plan is a 'return to the moon program', which is scheduled to establish a permanent lunar base around 2025, and the entire program is expected to cost more than 100 billion US dollars."

According to other news, the official website of SpaceX announced that it will officially launch the "Dragon spacecraft II" program, which aims to further explore Mars, and the "Dragon spacecraft II" program is expected to recruit three to five astronauts as volunteers, and the latest "Dragon spacecraft" developed by SpaceX will send them to the surface of Mars. ”

"Brother Zhou, you said that China and the United States have recently accelerated their exploration of space, and it won't be a space arms race, right?"

The first few pieces of the news were related to the space program, and Yang Xi was worried after reading it, and couldn't help but ask Zhou Chen curiously.

How should this question be answered? Zhou Chen stared at the TV and said with a light smile: "Space is vast enough, and the two countries are heading towards space together, and there is no competition." ”

"But the movement in both countries is so big, it gives people a very bad feeling." Yang Xi's expression was a little afraid, as if he was deeply afraid that China and the United States would fight because of the competition for space.

Zhou Chen was silent, he knew that Yang Xi's worries must be superfluous, but he couldn't tell Yang Xi that the reason why China and the United States carried out space exploration activities so vigorously was because of himself.

Turning our attention back to the news, it may have passed the preparatory stage in the early stage, and in the past few days, China and the United States have been announcing their actions on aerospace, and heavy news has hit one after another, and it has shown a blowout trend.

The successive launch of such expensive projects has not only puzzled many scientists, but also made the public skeptical. The discussion about these space programs on the Internet is also quite hot, and the voices for and against have their own opinions, and the tone is naturally uneven.

There are those who praise scientific and technological progress and long live theory, and there are also those who lament the loss of money and the loss of face, and even because of the launch of some plans in the United States, there has been chaos in Congress, and various demonstrations have gradually become sparks.

If we look at the diffusion effect of news coverage alone, it is clear that the intensive space missions of the two countries have had a considerable social impact.

Media reporters have never been afraid of too much to do, and when they saw that the two major powers on the earth had launched their own space programs at the same time, all kinds of lofty theories emerged one after another, and experts and professors from all walks of life showed their abilities and swore to do prophetic work, and at the same time, criticism of the space race and military confrontation in public opinion also began to be very loud.

In the eyes of some military columns, it seems that China and the United States are secretly accumulating strength, and a fight is about to start in the next second.
