Chapter 427: There's still half a year, just wait
Hearing Kobayashi Yufang say that he had changed his nationality, this 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 of foreigners, especially Asian faces, as long as you can speak the local language, and then know a little bit about the culture, history, customs and so on, then no one will treat you as an outsider.
Linda herself knows this very well, and she herself has been regarded as a girl from the southern provinces more than once. In the past, she would explain that she was from Po China, but now she doesn't explain, and will only hum and say that her ancestral home is indeed somewhere. Of course, she did not lie, she was originally surnamed Lin.
Therefore, for the ...... of changing nationality She really didn't expect that.
Kobayashi Yufang saw that Linda was puzzled, and he didn't explain it - how could he explain it? explained that he had a family here, and then his wife felt that the development and future of the country were obviously very good, and it would definitely be more and more difficult to naturalize in the future...... The country is about to launch space travel, and currently only its nationals are allowed to apply.
As a technology enthusiast who is crazy about space, Yukata Kobayashi accepts his wife's advice after careful consideration.
After all, there is nothing to be ashamed of when people go to high places.
His home country, which has been struggling for the past few years, is now visibly divided across society, with some old-fashioned conservatives arguing that it should remain the way it was, and some young people already protesting to demand the expulsion of the U.S. base and a full entry into the new Asian order.
For this, Kobayashi Yukata used to be very concerned, but now ...... He only cares about how the domestic space program is going.
The two quickly talked about the topic of the interview after a brief greeting, and during the exchange, Linda learned that Kobayashi Yukata is currently working for the provincial TV station and is basically a reporter based in the space city.
Soon, with the greeting of the staff, the press conference officially began.
The two sat together very tacitly.
"It depends on who hosted the press conference, if it is Mr. Ye, it means that it can break the news." Kobayashi Yufang kept his mouth and made a sound.
Linda hummed softly.
As an old reporter, she certainly knows some of the "unspoken rules" of the press conference of the domestic aerospace department.
Basically, Professor Ye Ming, the chief scientist of the national aerospace department, he is a trump card, and what he makes public is some untold information. And he also likes to know everything, say everything, as long as you dare to ask, he can answer, will answer.
In addition, Director Zhang, compared to Professor Ye Ming, Director Zhang is a lot 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...... That's basically just a matter of listening.
In the whispered exchange of reporters, Ye Ming was the first to walk out of the backstage.
Seeing him appear, all the reporters smiled knowingly at the same time, and then applauded.
……
"Thank you all for the applause."
Ye Ming sat in the center of the rostrum, he smiled at the room full of media and reporters, in the middle, he saw many old acquaintances.
"Thank you for participating in this year's Space Day press conference, as you can see, at this year's press conference, I will make a simple work report on behalf of my country's aerospace industry group."
"So, without further ado, let's get down to business."
"In the past year, we have successfully completed the first phase of the construction of the Guanghan base."
With Ye Ming's voice, in the open space between the rostrum and the first row of reporters, an AR reality-enhanced 3D scene also appeared.
Sharp-eyed people immediately recognized that the scene was the moon.
In the changing scene, a new 3D map of the Guanghan base soon appeared.
"This is the specific situation of the current Guanghan base, we can see that it has formed a helium-3 fusion power plant as the core, integrating residential, scientific research, industrial production in one of the large-scale bases."
Ye Ming said as he 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 the Guanghan base, and the astronauts who work and live on it have long exposed the non-secret parts of the base.
Well...... As a joke, there are still people on Lao Mei's side who think it's fake - and most of these people think that the earth is flat.
But this is the first time that all the buildings have been restored in such a comprehensive way and presented in 3D modeling.
All the reporters were blown away by this huge base, and the sound of Kacha was incessant.
"In addition to the Guanghan base, we have also launched an unknown celestial object exploration program in the past year, and at present, 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, turning into a picture of six spaceships flying in a formation with hexagonal vertices guarding the center point.
"Just yesterday, the Finder completed the acceleration phase and will perform a deceleration mission in three months, and will finally reach an unknown object by the end of this year for the next exploration mission."
Since it is a public conference for the whole world and the whole society, Ye Ming is very strict in his wording, not saying that it is a black hole at all, but using an unknown celestial body to describe it - because as of now, there is still no accurate definition and model of it, and it is a bit easy to cause ambiguity when talking about black holes.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ming introduced the saucer-shaped transport ship plan, which can actually be regarded as an official recognition, or a refutation of rumors - such a large saucer-shaped spaceship must not be hidden, and there are already good deeds, or conspiracy theorists, who have begun to put domestic technological development and aliens on the side.
You see, flying saucers are proof!
Hearing this, Ye Ming was naturally unhappy.
Obviously, the national nuclear has demand, and after his painstaking design, the shipyard has been built day and night, so what about aliens!
"This saucer-shaped transport, I can assure, 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, and can easily load and unload large goods by sight." So, please help dispel a rumor. ”
Saying that, Ye Ming paused and grinned: "Don't think about how powerful alien technology is all day long, the universe is relative, if there is really an alien civilization, we are also aliens in their eyes, and 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 of the water cup.
Then he glanced at the manuscript paper.
"Next, I will mainly introduce our main work and tasks this year."
"First of all, we will launch the first phase of the space city plan in half a month, that is, the space observatory program."
With Ye Ming's voice, the AR picture in front of him also changed again.
……
Linda stared intently at the huge "round barrel" floating silently in the air.
That's right...... In her eyes, the complete appearance of this space city is indeed a rolling barrel.
It still has a controllable fusion engine reactor at its core, and then it expands into a circle and eventually becomes a barrel by building blocks over and over again.
Watching it float quietly in space, Linda felt a little stunned.
This kind of engineering that used to exist only in science fiction works...... It was really included in the plan, and it really had to be built step by step!
- If it were another country, someone else's announcement, she would have thought it was just a deception.
Install the latest version. 】
It's as if ...... The one who wants to land on Mars, who wants to settle on Mars.
Well...... It seems that the one doesn't talk much about immigrating to Mars anymore.
Think about it, whether it is immigrating to Mars, or immigrating to the moon, or living in a space city, it is essentially "escaping the earth", which is nothing more than far and near - in the past, it could be said that it was technically difficult, but now, after the spacecraft has been operating stably and accident-free for four years, where is the technical difficulty?
But, from Ye Ming's mouth, from this country......
Linda felt that this was not a pie drawing, but a work schedule for everyone.
In the past six years, all the space day conferences she has attended, the news she has obtained and the domestic plan, there is no one that has not been completed - only the one that has been completed ahead of schedule, and there is no postponement.
Ye Ming's voice sounded again: "Of course, this is the complete plan of the Space City project, and we intend to spend ten years to complete it. ”
"And in order to accomplish it, we need to create a convenient industrial base in space, on the moon, on the spot."
"It's a fact that we all agree that when we enter the space age, the earth's resources will become precious." Ye Ming laughed as he spoke, and he looked meaningfully at the reporter from Australia who was sitting in the corner: "Therefore, some countries on the earth that are rich in iron ore and other resources are currently selling at low prices...... This is not a good idea. ”
The reporters here are all human beings, how can they not understand the meaning of Ye Ming's words? It only took a glance from his gaze for everyone to laugh heartily.
Australian mines, that's really high-quality.
However, because it has been following in the footsteps of Lao Mei, it has not restricted this side back then, so this side began to look for replacements all over the world in a fit of anger.
Now the iron ore in Southeast Asia has been won, the mines in Africa have also been steadily won, and even the moon ...... It's all mined.
Australia is a bit anxious.
It is a resource country, and its resources are abandoned by the strongest industrial country in the world, how can it live well?
The Australian reporter suddenly blushed and pretended not to understand what Ye Ming said.
Fortunately, Ye Ming didn't say much, but continued: "We believe that all the resources on earth, whether it is water, earth, oil, gas, minerals, will be our legacy and savings for future generations - we must also leave these to them in order to cope with the future." ”
"Therefore, we will also carry out 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: "Let's move on to the question session." ”
When the words fell, he instantly raised his hand like a forest.
Ye Ming took a sip of water and looked at the old acquaintances in the audience.
Finally, his gaze rested on Linda's face, which he hadn't seen in years.
"Friends of Lianhe Zaobao."
……
Linda took two very short breaths, then clenched her fist and released it before she stood up.
She really didn't expect that she would be the first to name herself, so that she wasn't completely prepared for the question.
But...... Since it all started, and the person who answered was still Ye Ming - Ye Ming is known for knowing everything and saying everything, which means that she has enough time to think on the spot.
"Hello Academician Ye, just now you mentioned that the black hole exploration program will be one of the important work projects this year, but we also know that in the past few months, there have been voices in the international community, including the scientific community and the aerospace community, that the black hole exploration program is a dangerous behavior."
Ye Ming looked at her with a smile, nodded slowly, and motioned for her to continue.
"So, my question is, what do you think of these opposing voices? And, how confident are you about the results of the black hole detection, and can you tell us what is most likely to happen to us after the black hole? Thank you. ”
As Linda finished asking in one breath, the eyes of all the reporters also stayed on Ye Ming's face.
I have to say that a gold medal reporter is a gold medal reporter, and I asked everyone's hearts at once.
The reporters who came today, one counts as one, and none of them are laymen - each of them who applies to participate in the press conference will submit their materials, and then pass the review before they can 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 refusals increased, the media also found the way and knew to send some professional, or at least knowledgeable, reporters to come.
Otherwise...... You are an aerospace layman, don't you come here to listen to the book of heaven?
Therefore, everyone knows very well that at today's press conference, don't look at what space factories are said, what space cities are said, what asteroid belt exploration is also said, and Guanghan base is ......
But in essence, it's all revolving in the solar system, and in recent days, 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 is the ...... after the black hole?
Frankly, there has been a lot of speculation about what's behind the black hole over the past year, especially in the months since black hole detection was launched.
Aside from the meaningless conjecture that "nothing will happen if we drill into a black hole", the biggest conjecture is what kind of world humanity is about to face.
Will that world be full of malice, will it be dangerous, will it be ...... Cause a crisis for humanity.
- If you say no, then why build a defensive film with six ships?
But all the speculations are not as accurate and important as what Ye Ming said himself.
"There's still half a year, just wait."
Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled softly.
