Chapter 427: The project is in full swing
Xu Yun and Rickett had a very smooth conversation, and many issues were resolved in just over two hours of discussion.
It can be regarded as a plan to basically set the manufacturing base of the lunar battleship.
Richter was naturally very happy about this, not only grew up from Xu Yun, but also successfully completed the tasks assigned by the Human Space Security Alliance, and the pressure on the whole person plummeted.
When he left Xu Yun's office, he also deliberately said that he would often come to ask for advice in the future.
The scientists under the alliance can improve their own strength, which is naturally something that Xu Yun is happy to see, at least it will be easier to carry out those important projects.
So he also welcomed this behavior of Richter.
In the next few days, because the Spring Festival is approaching, Xu Yun was finally able to temporarily return to Jingzhou City.
In order to perfectly solve the crisis of the God Destroyer, Xu Yun has been sitting at the alliance project headquarters, directing the progress of various missions to ensure that human civilization can win this victory, and in this case, he has not returned home for a long time.
Usually, I can only open a video to meet my family and children.
I thought that after the complete destruction of the God Destroying Star, I would be able to spend time with my family.
As a result, he was awarded the highest medal of honor of human civilization, and he also became a core member of the council from the chief scientist of the alliance.
Coupled with the planning of the Spark Project to build the first fleet, there are more and more things at hand.
I was stunned and insisted on the approaching New Year.
At present, the Xinghuo project has been officially approved and is about to enter the construction stage, the preliminary design plan of the lunar battleship manufacturing base has also been completed, and the research progress of Zhang Feng's battleship drawings is considered to have been completed before the year.
After the New Year, everyone is fully charged, and the project will enter the explosive period.
Speaking of which, this year's Spring Festival is definitely a very special year, with far-reaching significance.
As the first New Year facing human civilization after defeating the Destroyer crisis, it will definitely be more lively than previous years.
In addition, the Spring Festival has also been certified as an alliance holiday by the Alliance for Human Space Security, which means that this year's Spring Festival will be spent together by the whole world.
Just by looking at this, you can imagine how lively it will be.
……
……
February 18, 2034.
Saturday.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
"You two be careful, when you finish this, you will go home for dinner, my mother and grandma are still waiting for us, didn't you say that you want to watch the Spring Festival Gala on time."
At seven o'clock in the evening, a fireworks concentration in Jingzhou City, Xu Yun looked at the girl and son who were squatting there studying the fireworks in front of him, and shouted softly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and at this moment he only felt a full sense of happiness surging to himself.
As the eldest daughter, Xu Ningxuan is thirteen years old, and she just became a junior high school student in the fall.
inherited the excellent genes of Chen Shihe and Xu Yun, not only is he exquisite and good-looking, but his height is almost the same as Chen Shihe.
However, compared with Chen Shihe's character, her daughter Xu Ningxuan is more heroic.
Usually it can be said that he takes his younger brother to death.
For her daughter's character, Xu Yun likes it very much.
There was a little surprise to him, but he didn't expect his daughter to study scientific research and prefer the things above the company.
Of course, Xu Yun's educational philosophy has always been to respect children's own interests.
Surely they will not be forced to learn anything.
It can be said that if there is no accident, when Xu Ningxuan completes her studies, she will enter deep science and technology training.
"It's on, run!"
Just as Xu Yun was thinking about these in his mind, his daughter Xu Ningxuan's voice suddenly came into his ears, and he saw Xu Ningxuan dragging his younger brother and running over quickly.
Behind it is a lit firework.
"Slow down."
Xu Yun reminded the two of them again, and then reached out and pulled them to his side.
After enjoying the fireworks and cleaning up the garbage, the three of them walked together towards the location of the house.
The whole picture is very harmonious.
After returning home, Chen Shihe, who became more and more mature, was busy in the kitchen, Wang Chunfang was busy serving food to the dining table, seeing this, Xu Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help, and even the two children took the initiative to reach out to serve food.
With the invasion of the years, although Xu Yun and Chen Shihe have not seen their age for nearly forty years, their mother Wang Chunfang is visible to the naked eye.
Although there is no physical disease and there is no need to worry about cancer, the aging of organs is irreversible.
When I was a child, I was young, and I can only remember it.
At this time, the latest model TV in the living room is already on state.
The warm-up program of the main station is being played.
Just wait for the Spring Festival Gala to start on time at eight o'clock.
Today's Spring Festival Gala is not a program that is getting worse and worse ten years ago, with the rapid development of science and technology, the global situation has completely stabilized and formed a structure dominated by the Human Security Alliance, and the Spring Festival Gala has also regained its original intention, breaking the viewing record in recent years.
The reason why this year is so exciting is that for the first time, there are sub-venues on the Moon, Mars and even in Pilot.
This gimmick alone can attract a lot of attention.
There is no doubt that this year is very special, and it represents the rebirth of human civilization through the catastrophe.
can see that human civilization has changed by itself, Xu Yun can be regarded as having achieved his ideals and goals, and the spiritual world has been unprecedentedly satisfied.
However, it was far from the time for him to retire, and he naturally did not dare to waste too much time in the face of the dilemma of humanity not yet having a fleet, and the Spark project, which would take many generations to complete.
After spending this Spring Festival with his family, he returned to his post on the eighth day of the new year.
After receiving approval from the Alliance for the Security of Humanity's Space, the Pilot first loaded up on Earth before setting off for Mars again.
In addition to a large number of modules for astronauts and volunteers to support their temporary survival, it also includes the most important components for the nuclear fusion device, as well as the equipment needed to build the dome of Mars.
This requires the Pilot to travel back and forth between Earth and Mars several times.
In addition, the construction of the base of the Lunar Battleship has also officially begun, which can be said to overload the Pilot.
There is no gap to stop at all.
But there is no way to do it, who has made the current human race only have the Pilot, a nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft.
This situation can only be effectively alleviated when other warships are built and put into service.
Fortunately, the design scheme of the Pilot is very mature and perfect, coupled with the technical support inside, so that the Pilot has enough performance to complete these tasks.
There are basically no problems.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that since the location of Mars City and the battleship manufacturing base has been selected, it also saves a lot of trouble.
Relying on the Pilot's maximum speed of light of 10 percent, the progress of the two projects is quite rapid, and it is believed that it will not be long before the initial results and even partial operation.
As time passed, minute by minute.
The outside world has gradually calmed down and is no longer shocked by these achievements of mankind.
There is a kind of vision and thought that have completely completed the advancement.
At the same time, the self-confidence of the domestic people has also been enhanced unprecedentedly, whether it is in the face of international events or personal matters, you can see the strong self-confidence reflected everywhere, and be proud of your identity from the heart.
During this time, the first batch of volunteers who have undergone intensive training finally went to Mars aboard the Pilot.
Support the construction of Martian City.
On the day of departure, the official also held a special send-off ceremony.
As for the major universities around the world, after the college entrance examination, the candidates' voluntary applications have also officially opened extraterrestrial studies and warship-related majors.
In addition to cultivating excellent crew engineers for the fleet, it will be the force for the continuation of the Spark Project in the future.
Even in order to compete for students, colleges and universities can be said to be eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.
have shown their strength.
But in the face of Jingzhou University, which is Xu Yun's alma mater, no other university in the world has any temper.
Because Jingzhou University said that it would invite Xu Yun to teach in person.
With such a signboard as Xu Yun, even if you are stupid, you can see the benefits of reporting to Jingzhou University.
Not to mention the opportunity to become Xu Yun's student, just because of this relationship, it will definitely be easier to enter important positions after graduation.
After all, there is only one fusion powered spacecraft in human civilization today, and if you can't enter it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to officially participate in the work in a short time, and you will have to wait for the new warship to enter service before there will be a new quota.
So in the end, Jingzhou University didn't need to publicize it, and this year's outstanding candidates all chose Jingzhou University.
This also makes the once only top five universities, now have the comprehensive strength to successfully climb to the first place in the country.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if you look at the world, it is a top existence.
As for the matter of serving as a teacher to teach students of the new major, Xu Yun naturally knew about it, and when he first heard the proposal of the president of Beijing University, he also thought about it carefully.
In the end, I agreed.
Mainly, these new majors are the backbone of human civilization in the future, which means that it is a good thing that the Spark Project can develop according to his vision, and that he can teach them.
Of course, with how busy he is now, he definitely can't go to school to become a teacher.
The so-called lectures can only be taken occasionally.
But that alone has made the new students eager to do so.
Excited, no.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
With the joint efforts of many scientists and astronauts of the Alliance, the Lunar Battleship Manufacturing Base was finally completed.
And began to produce the Blue Star, whose design drawings had long been determined.
Due to the special gravity of the moon, the lunar battleship manufacturing base can be more convenient for the assembly of the hull, and the construction of the battleship is mainly carried out by a new generation of specially designed space robots, which are controlled by the deep sea as the core mastermind.
And this manufacturing method can greatly shorten the production time of warships.
If you run at full speed, you can even complete the construction of a battleship in less than a year.
In this way, in a few years, human civilization will be able to successfully assemble a fleet capable of conducting space operations.
On the Martian side, the construction of Mars City has been in full swing in the past three years, and now in addition to the completed nuclear fusion power station at the core of the base, the transparent dome that envelops the entire Martian City is also about to be completed.
Speaking of the materials used to create this huge dome, it was based on the experiments of those materials researched by Sun Zhenghong's team.
Otherwise, the construction of the dome would not have gone so smoothly.
When the dome is fully completed, the normal operation of the life support system can be guaranteed, and the environment inside the dome will be gradually transformed to form a closed environment similar to the earth.
At that time, the personnel on Mars will be able to get rid of the heavy extravehicular spacesuits.
Walk and move as if you were on the earth.
One can imagine how much the construction progress of Martian City will be accelerated by that time.
Of course, there is no delay in the transformation of the Martian environment, and humans have begun to build factories on Mars to produce greenhouse gases.
And the number of factories is constantly increasing.
——
As soon as Xu Yun came out of the conference room after the meeting that morning, he saw Zhou Mingwei catching up.
"Is it too dangerous to announce at the meeting, that you really want to go to Mars and the moon to inspect the project yourself?" Zhou Mingwei and Xu Yun were already quite familiar with each other, and they spoke out on the spot about the doubts in their hearts.
Yes.
After three years of progress in the Spark project, the lunar manufacturing base was put into use, and Xu Yun wanted to inspect it in person.
In the past, to understand the specifics of the two projects, we had to rely on quantum networks to transmit information.
But as the person in charge of the project, how can you not check the status of the project with your own eyes, after all, there are some things that cannot be felt without being there.
Previously, because there was still a lot of work to be done on the Earth side, and because it was a critical period, the Pilot needed to travel frequently between several planets, so there was no mention of inspection.
Now, with the project on track, the pressure on the Pilot has eased a lot.
It was perfectly possible to spare time to send him to Mars and the moon for field trips to the construction of Martian City and the construction of warships.
In any case, the Pilot is his work, and he naturally has no doubts about its safety.
Moreover, in so many missions, the Pilot has achieved zero accidents, and it can only be said that Zhou Mingwei's current worries are completely unnecessary.
But for Zhou Mingwei's thoughts, Xu Yun can also understand.
After all, going to Mars is a risky thing, and as the chief scientist of the alliance, he really can't afford to make mistakes, but since he has made a decision after careful consideration, it will definitely not be changed easily.
After organizing the language a little, he replied to Zhou Mingwei: "I know what you are worried about, but I can assure you that there will be no problems with this inspection." ”
"That's not going to work, unless I'm going with you this time." Zhou Mingwei said in a firm tone.
Xu Yun listened to this sentence in his ears, and he couldn't cry or laugh at it, and in the end, Zhou Mingwei also wanted to go to Mars.
As a scientist, safety is always the primary factor, so it is natural not to put yourself in a dangerous environment in such a situation, and usually rely on quantum communication for real-time communication even if you work remotely.
From the inside, who wouldn't want to experience what it's like to be on Mars?
However, today, Zhou Mingwei's idea is destined to fail.
After Xu Yun learned what Zhou Mingwei was thinking, he immediately continued with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The project still needs someone to stay here for docking, so leave the task of this inspection to me, and wait for you to go next time." After speaking, he didn't forget to pat the other party's shoulder with relief. (End of chapter)
