Chapter 428: An Answer to Peace of Mind
Of course, Ye Ming knew what the reporters here wanted to hear from him.
In fact, it is not only these journalists, but also in the past six months or even longer, whether it is the scientific community, his relatives and friends, and even high-level ...... I have asked him more than once what he might encounter after the black hole is drilled over.
This one...... It can only be said that everyone really trusts him and hopes to hear a reliable and reassuring answer from his mouth.
But the moment he didn't see it, how dare Ye Ming talk nonsense?
He's not a god, and he's not interested in being a godβbesides, he's pretty sure that the black hole can provide a more stable entrance to a wormhole.
So, waiting is the best answer.
"As for those who are skeptical and worried about space exploration and development, I want to say that all exploration and development activities, including this exploration of unknown celestial bodies, no matter what they encounter or happen in the future, human beings must not stop exploring and understanding the universe because of this."
Ye Ming held the microphone and was silent for a few seconds before continuing: "As a scientist, I feel extremely happy to be able to live in an era of technological explosion. β
"Maybe some people don't have this sense of happiness, and they don't even have the opportunity to feel the impact of the technological revolution on their lives...... For this, I would like to say ...... It's not their fault. β
"Who is to blame?" Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and laughed, but obviously with a little astringency: "I don't think you can blame me, right?" β
There was a low laugh from the reporters below.
Linda was also laughing, but she could see that Ye Ming was indeed a little "depressed", so she just smiled and looked at Ye Ming seriously again.
And she also knew that what Ye Ming said was the truth.
Aside from the scientific community, from the perspective of ordinary people, the people who oppose this black hole exploration are mainly concentrated in the "traditional developed countries" in the West.
And those people, frankly, don't really have the opportunity to feel the impact of the technological revolution on their lives.
Heaven has nothing to do with them, controllable nuclear fusion is still under construction, strong artificial intelligence has nothing to do with them, and ultra-long-distance communication is regarded by them as the enemy of privacy and is strictly rejected......
Therefore, in the past six years, the new technological revolution that is taking place vigorously in the land of the East is like an Internet entrepreneurship story for those people - this can also explain why people still think that the Guanghan Palace base or something is fake.
So, who is to blame?
Linda certainly believes that everyone has the right to choose how they want to live, but it is clear that it is now the choice of ordinary people in the West that is naturally "covered".
They didn't know how awesome Aita was at all, and they didn't realize that the domestic lead was no longer a dimension.
"So, again, just wait. I hope that in the future, you will stop asking questions about exploration and focus on other areas, such as the areas of exploration and construction within the department. β
ββ¦β¦β
The next question, the reporters still gave Ye Ming a lot of face, and as far as the project itself is concerned, the importance and difficulty of the orbital space city are definitely higher than that of black hole detection - but without the blessing of the "unknown", it has become a little less eye-catching.
With the cooperation of reporters, Ye Ming focused on the situation of Space City and Guanghan Base, including technology, scale, final planning and so on.
At half past eleven in the morning, the press conference ended, and Ye Ming returned to the office.
β¦β¦
Ye Ming looked at Peng Xiaofei on the other side of the video and said with a smile, and when he caught a glimpse of the nurse girl flashing by Peng Xiaofei's side, he greeted him friendly: "Hello Tang Wei." β
Tang Wei, who had already walked over, came back immediately and responded with a blushing face: "Ah, hello Academician Ye." β
"You're used to it, aren't you?"
Ye Ming knew that these two were the first pair of astronauts to fall in love publicly, and judging from Peng Xiaofei's greeting before he asked him to find him, it was obvious that he was ...... These two people have "done things" above.
"I'm used to it, thank you Academician Ye for your concern."
"Well, you're welcome, and don't be so polite." Ye Ming replied with a smile: "I want to be your child's godfather, you are shouting like this academician, and you are shouting one academician after another, you make me very embarrassed......"
Tang Wei: "......"
After the joke, Ye Ming and Peng Xiaofei chatted about business: "This vacuum elevator was originally designed for Space City, now I will test it for you first." β
Last year, Peng Xiaofei complained to him that the moon base was too big, it was extremely inconvenient to commute to and from work, and he was too lazy to change his clothes when driving a lunar rover, so it would be nice to have a fast transportation.
This matter immediately attracted attention from top to bottom - because the substrate is developing so fast, it is true that it was not considered at the beginning.
In the past, when there were no conditions, it was easy to say, but now that we want to build a "city" level base, we must go for comfort.
So after discussion, everyone decided to arrange the external vacuum elevator originally used in Space City to the moon first.

"No problem, and according to me, the air environment on the moon and space is actually about the same, and all projects in space can actually go through the moon first - in case there is any problem, the moon still has a ground, right?"
Ye Ming smiled and nodded: "That's the reason." β
Peng Xiaofei nodded contentedly: "By the way, when will the underground project begin?" β
Hearing this, Ye Ming sighed: "Take your time, now the country is in the field of space, and even the landlord's family has no surplus food...... How can there be so much energy for underground engineering? β
The so-called "underground engineering" in Peng Xiaofei's mouth refers to the underground living space project proposed by the Guanghan base - at present, all the buildings on the moon are built on the surface.
The advantage of building a building on the ground is that it is faster β with a standardized, modular building solution, it is much easier to build a building in a low-gravity environment like the moon than on Earth.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, a large number of thermal insulation materials need to be used to combat the temperature difference between day and night on the moon, and the strength of the material must also be considered.
Therefore, the concept of underground engineering has been put forward - there has been a lot of evidence that there are a large number of cavities in the interior of the moon, not to mention this, even if you can't find a suitable cavity, it is still possible to build a livable underground city with a few shield machines.
This idea is good, but as Ye Ming said, the country is now a Guanghan base, a space city, an asteroid belt exploration, and a black hole exploration......
How can there be so much money?
"Okay, so should I get into orbit this time?"
"I'm going, I'm telling you about it."
"Okay." Peng Xiaofei agreed.
- In half a month, the country will officially launch the first phase of the Space City plan, that is, the Space Observatory.
The plan will be completed by the Moon Sign, the Invitation Moon Sign, and the Sky Survey No. 1 and No. 2. Among them, the Inviting Moon and Wenyue carried space construction personnel and platforms, and the Sky Survey was used to load materials.
As a gold medal engineer with rich construction experience in the space environment, Peng Xiaofei certainly has to preside over the overall situation.
After the two chatted for a while, Ye Ming was about to end the call.
But at the moment of hanging up, Peng Xiaofei suddenly asked.
"Ye Ming, won't they let you come up? In space, the sight is really different, and the feeling is different......"
Ye Ming was slightly stunned, and then became annoyed.
"Get out!"
β¦β¦
Time passed quickly, half a month later, Wenyue carried more than 100 engineering personnel, and took off from Xichang with Xuntian 1 and 2, and Yingyue carried construction personnel who completed the construction of the lunar base, including Peng Xiaofei and others, 50 people took off from the moon.
In late May, four spacecraft converged at the Earth-Moon L2 Lagrange point.
Under the noses of hundreds of millions of people around the world, the Invitation Moon opened the cargo hold and released the first habitation module.
Also known as cabin 0.
