Perhaps he was in a hurry to meet Xu Yun alone, and finally under Meng Songyan's arrangement, Musk came to Deepin Technology headquarters again the next day.

and successfully met Xu Yun in the reception room.

For this world-renowned businessman, Xu Yun knows more about his deeds.

However, in addition to the competition between the two sides in the field of new energy vehicles, Xu Yun has no intersection with him, and it can even be said that today is the first time that the two of them meet in reality.

On the way to the appointment, Xu Yun was still guessing the other party's purpose.

I wonder if the other party dislikes the fact that there are too few active potions obtained from this trip.

I'm going to buy more this way.

But if that's the case, it can only be said that the other party has made a mistake.

Originally, the pharmaceutical production capacity of the biological research laboratory was limited, and it had to meet the needs of relatives and friends in the surrounding area.

Therefore, even the core personnel in each region can get a fixed amount of medicines.

This is also to ensure that the drug is not traded overseas.

After all, if everyone asks for it twice, the production capacity may not be able to meet the demand at all.

You know, it's very difficult to grab a reservation spot right now.

It was precisely after thinking about these things in advance that Xu Yun arrived at the reception room and sat down with the other party as soon as he said hello, and blurted out this matter directly.

"I'm very sorry Mr. Musk, I think you should be aware of the cumbersome process of the synthesis process of cell activity agents, so the agents will not be exported until the production capacity does not meet our needs."

"I hope you understand that."

And when this sentence reaches the ears of the other party, it is ushered in doubts.

But soon he realized something, and hurriedly explained: "Academician Xu, I think you should have misunderstood, and I am very satisfied with the successful inoculation of the cell active agent this time."

Although the conversation was in a foreign language, it naturally didn't have any effect on Xu Yun.

Hearing all these words into his ears, Xu Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

Dare to love the other party today is not for the cell active agent.

It's just that this makes him curious, and he wants to find out more and more about the other party's true intentions.

At this time, he didn't bother to sell Guanzi, so he took the initiative to inquire in order to understand the situation as soon as possible.

"I don't know what Mr. Musk wants to talk about when he comes to me today, there is no outsider here who can say it directly."

As his voice fell, he no longer hesitated to make it convenient.

He immediately opened his mouth and stated his purpose.

"That's right, I would like to invite Academician Xu to join my Mars One immigration program."

"Mars One?"

When Xu Yun heard this plan, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

I didn't expect the other party to have this purpose at all.

The so-called Mars-1 project is naturally no stranger to him, it is a plan for Martian immigrants proposed by the other party in the early years, intending to transform Mars through human active intervention in a few decades, and establish a community on Mars to complete the first Martian migration of human beings.

This plan is undoubtedly more daring than the moon landing, but it is also fraught with greater difficulties.

I don't know how many technical challenges need to be solved to achieve it.

At the time, it was called an unrealistic fantasy.

If someone else had come up with this plan, it would have been labelled as a liar arrogance, or simply a slogan plan.

And it won't be executed.

But this is clearly not the case with Musk.

He really regarded immigrating to Mars as his dream, and did not hesitate to invest a lot of money and human resources in the development of starships.

And as the good news of Starship development continues to come, there are more and more voices around the world to support the Mars-1 program, and even many mathematicians and physicists who are called geniuses have joined.

Even the number of people who signed up worldwide reached a considerable number.

It seems that with the development of the starship, it is really possible to travel to Mars and complete the interstellar migration.

To be honest, Mars is undoubtedly more suitable as a planet for interstellar migration than the Moon.

It's just that there are too many technologies that need to be addressed.

Not to mention that it is very difficult for humans to travel to the distant Mars, and it is impossible to survive on Mars for a long time.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to modify the environment of Mars.

Just by listening to it, you can imagine how difficult it is.

In fact, according to the planning of the domestic aerospace project, after the moon landing and the construction of the lunar base are realized, the moon will be used as a transit station to explore Mars in the future.

If possible, research on Martian migration will naturally be carried out as well.

But this is many years later, and now it is necessary to build a moon base steadily.

Xu Yun, as the most genius scientist of mankind today, wants to ask if he wants to see human beings go out of the earth to achieve interstellar migration, then the answer is absolutely yes.

And he believed that he would see it too.

After all, he was still very young.

It's just that he wants to work with the Aerospace Engineering Office to complete this ultimate human project.

Rather than participating in the development of the starship.

Besides, he is now an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, how can he leave.

Thinking at this point, Xu Yun refused without hesitation: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you today, I have my own work to complete." He still had a smile on his face when he said this, and he didn't change his attitude because of it.

Mainly for the former richest man in the world in front of him, he still admires it.

As a businessman, it is indeed rare to be willing to do so much for your dreams.

In any case, Martian immigration is a good thing for human beings, and if it can be really successful, it can make the scientific and technological level of human civilization develop rapidly.

In the face of Xu Yun's refusal, Musk was not surprised, obviously he had expected this result for a long time.

Speaking of which, when he was thinking about this matter, he was also very complicated in his heart, after all, his new energy vehicles are now almost out of the market, and the entire global market has been lost because of several technologies that Xu Yun has conquered.

Such a big loss also greatly affected his net worth, and he retired directly from the position of the richest man in the world.

Although Xu Yun is just a scientist in the eyes of outsiders, he knows very well that DeepTech's current business alone is enough to make him the richest man in the world.

What's more, Xu Yun also has a number of patented technologies.

Strictly speaking, he and Xu Yun should have a hostile relationship, but who made Xu Yun have unimaginable talent.

He has been focusing on the research and development of starships in the past few years, hoping to realize his dream in his lifetime.

In addition, he came to Jingzhou this time and was successfully vaccinated with cell active agents, so he has more confidence in himself.

However, although some of the technologies possessed by starships have maintained the world's leading position, it has been difficult to make progress recently, and there have even been crashes one after another during the starship experiment.

This is undoubtedly a relatively big blow to the research and development of starships.

If there is no new progress and the progress of starship development is stagnant, all the hard work and efforts of the previous will be in vain.

So in this situation, he thought of Xu Yun.

With Xu Yun's terrifying talent, if he joins the Mars-1 project to study starship-related technology, then he may be able to see results in the short term.

You need to know that the projects that Xu Yun has participated in have not failed so far.

This side alone should also find a way to poach people.

Although he knew that Xu Yun was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was impossible for him to leave, but he believed that as long as Xu Yun could be convinced, the situation might change.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity to visit Jingzhou to obtain cell active agents, he made an appointment to meet Xu Yun in the name of the company.

At first, he was still a little worried, afraid that Xu Yun would refuse to meet, which would lead to the inability to use the latter means.

But now there is no problem.

Directly rejected by Xu Yun, he had already guessed it, after all, if Xu Yun really agreed directly, then he

Instead, you should think carefully and reflect on whether you have found the wrong person.

In response to this kind of problem, he had already thought of a coping strategy, and as soon as he heard that sentence, he hurriedly explained: "I hope Academician Xu can think about it carefully, you should know that we have the most advanced R&D technology here, which can provide you with a broader stage."

"I believe that with your joining, Academician Xu, the Mars-1 project will definitely become a reality."

"Don't you want to see human civilization heading to Mars?"

When talking about the last sentence, a rhetorical question was deliberately used.

Xu Yun just listened to these words with a calm face and didn't say much.

He acknowledges that Starship is technically stronger than the Long March 10, but he doesn't think it's a bigger stage.

You must know that the domestic aerospace engineering undertaking will soon establish the first lunar base of mankind with his help.

That's something that no one else has done.

At such an important time now, how could he do the brainless thing of throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds.

In addition, according to what the other party said, the whole article can be summed up in one sentence.

That's science without borders.

Putting the pattern on the whole of humanity, participating in the development of starships is the right thing to do.

But you know, science knows no borders, but scientists do.

A large number of thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and Xu Yun solemnly expressed his attitude to the other party.

"Right now is the best platform to show me, and it won't be long before we can achieve a manned landing on the moon and build a lunar base, and then we will naturally have our eyes on Mars."

Musk didn't know that the Manned Space Engineering Office had changed the moon landing plan, and only thought that it was the previously announced lunar landing plan, and the so-called lunar base only existed in a new folder in the computer, and it was impossible to succeed in 20 years.

And they landed on the moon decades ago.

At this point, he immediately responded, "Academician Xu should understand that we had the technology to land on the moon decades ago, and it is a complete waste of resources for you to spend time and energy researching now."

"We should take a long-term view and start working directly on the Martian colonization plan."

"Join us in the Mars One program, and I believe you have what it takes to be a great pioneer in the Martian immigration cause."

In the end, his emotions couldn't help but be a little excited, and he didn't know if that scene came to mind, so he got up directly from the sofa.

It's a pity that the reply is still only two cold words.

"I'm sorry."

Xu Yun showed his attitude again, and the next second he also stood up and faced the other party.

"Even without the support of Starship, I believe it won't be long before we conquer the Moon and transform Mars as a human settlement community."

After speaking, Xu Yun shouted to Meng Songyan next to him, "Help me send Mr. Musk."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

Meng Songyan nodded in response, and then walked towards the other party.

In the face of this situation, no one knows that it is impossible for the discussion to continue, and although it has not been achieved today, it can only wait for an opportunity in the future.

Otherwise, if you continue to entangle, it will be a bit of a nonsense.

He didn't believe that Xu Yun would sit down calmly and continue to talk with him at that time.

After all, the door frame robot responsible for security check alone is full of deterrence, and people dare not make any small movements.

But when he finally left, he said a few more words.

"This invitation of mine is valid forever, and if Academician Xu thinks about it one day, you can contact me at any time."

After speaking, he left the reception room accompanied by Meng Songyan.

Soon, when there was no one else in sight, Xu Yun sat back on the sofa and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly thought about what it would be like to be the first to land on the moon when the lava tube cave moon base and the moon landing program were officially announced.

This time Jingzhou can

Welcoming so many important people to visit is indeed a clear signal to the outside world.

Let everyone know that the global situation has changed.

It's just that these people are here for the cell active agent, not from the heart.

If they get their chances, there will definitely be new moves.

In this case, it is necessary to crush in all directions, whether it is in the military, science and technology, or the aerospace industry.

Only in this way can the other party clearly recognize the gap.

Don't dare to have any other thoughts.

"This time, I will start to complete the research of the quantum repeater as soon as possible, and I hope that the Manned Space Engineering Office will also be able to hurry up."

As Xu Yun muttered to himself, he didn't continue to stay here.

At present, the matter in Jingzhou City can be said to have been dealt with, and he can return to the Quantum Information Technology Research Institute immediately.

The only regret is that I don't have much time to spend with my family this time.

Even acquaintances from Gyeongju University were able to visit.

However, there is no way to do it, and the most important thing for a true scientist is definitely the project at hand.

Fortunately, Chen Shihe led the family to protect the rear, so that he could devote himself to his work.

That's it.

Xu Yun made a simple arrangement for the situation in Jingzhou, and after returning home in the afternoon to enjoy the warmth of the family for a short time, he took a plane back to the Institute of Quantum Information and Quantum Technology the next day.

……

Time is always fleeting, especially when you are doing something with your heart, it is even more difficult to detect the passage of time.

After returning to the Institute of Quantum Information Technology, Xu Yun personally participated in the research of quantum repeaters.

With the help of new quantum materials to provide hardware support, plus the help of a 100,000-qubit universal computing power quantum computer, the research on quantum repeaters is progressing very rapidly.

During this period, Xu Yun did not use the scientific simulator, let alone turn on the brain overclocking again.

Lead others to overcome many difficulties in their own abilities.

In the end, in just five months, the development of the first quantum repeater was basically completed.

Quantum communication systems use entangled photon pairs as signal sources, while quantum repeaters realize relay functions through entanglement preparation and entanglement distribution, as well as entanglement purification and entanglement exchange.

That is, the transmission distance of a quantum signal is determined by the relay series.

Using such repeaters, quantum communication systems can be used for long-distance quantum communication.

According to the theoretical numerical analysis, this quantum repeater with the previously successfully launched quantum satellite is enough to meet the stability of the quantum communication network between the Earth and the Moon.

To put it simply, as long as the quantum repeater experiment is successful, not only will it be able to stably broadcast live on the moon in the future, but even the astronauts stationed at the lunar base will be able to match with the ground to play black games.

And there will be absolutely no delays.

Thinking deeper, if human beings step into Mars in the future, they can also realize the quantum communication network between the Earth and Mars through the deployment of quantum repeaters.

In the past few months, as the production capacity of cell active agents continues to increase, the number of scheduled vaccination places released every day has also increased, although it is still difficult for a considerable number of people to grab places, but the pressure has been much less than that of the period just after the Spring Festival.

As a result, the discussion of quotas on the Internet has also decreased, and the Internet has basically returned to calm.

As for overseas, although they are dissatisfied with the results of exporting after a few years, there is no way to change it.

After all, at least there is a chance to be vaccinated anyway.

In addition, the impact of vaccination on young people in later years is even smaller, and no one is blaming it.

On the contrary, they all hope that all the vaccinations can be completed as soon as possible, so that the drugs can be diverted overseas.

In addition, there was another incident in the middle, the company that developed the starship once tweeted on its official account, openly inviting Xu Yunjia

The Mars-1 program develops a starship.

As soon as this matter was reported by major media, it also caused a lot of heated discussions.

In addition to raising everyone's attention to the Mars migration program, it also gave hope to those who signed up for the program.

They all think that if Xu Yun really joins, then the possibility of success may increase a lot.

However, Xu Yun, who was concentrating on the development of quantum repeaters at that time, naturally did not have the time and energy to pay attention to these things, let alone respond to anything.

However, many netizens in China have spoken out, firmly believing that Xu Yun will never join the research and development of starships.

……

Tuesday, September 15, 2026, Institute of Quantum Information Technology.

Today is definitely an exciting day for the members of the quantum repeater project team in the hospital.

Because the quantum repeater, which has been painstakingly developed for several months, has finally ushered in the experimental testing session, which will mark whether the efforts of this time have paid off.

And the two people in charge of the field this time are naturally Xu Yun and Pan Xiaozhi.

It's just that unlike Xu Yun's calmness, Pan Xiaozhi obviously showed a slightly nervous look on his face.

The main thing is that they have learned the accurate news from the Manned Space Engineering Office that the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle will make its first flight this year and will carry a new generation of lunar rovers to the moon.

If the quantum repeater experiment is not successful, it will not be possible to catch up with the flight and affect the lunar landing program.
