Chapter 543: Bootstrapping
"The first artificial gravity space station was officially completed, and astronaut Li Sheng completed a 400-meter run in the space station."
"With an operating mass of 1,680 tons, Endeavor is the largest in-orbit space station ever in orbit."
"Aviation Development Commission: The space station will be intensively tested in the coming months, and it is expected to provide gravity for the personnel stationed in the first half of next year."
"Aerospace experts from the country of Fu suggested that the Advance be used as a Mars exploration spacecraft organized by Huayin."
"Guo Fan announced that the last part of the space drama on the Wandering Earth is about to start filming, and the release date of the Spring Festival file has been set."
"NACA congratulates the completion of the 'Forward' space station, calling it 'another giant leap for humanity.'"
"Large-scale protests in Tomioka town are suspected of causing clashes with the IAEA's emergency safeguards rescue team."
“……”
By the time the members of the Scientific Advisory Board arrived at the base by bullet train, it was already the second day after the Advance was officially completed.
This time, the 12 crew members of the two shuttles will no longer need to return immediately to prepare for the next mission, as they have done before, but are expected to spend at least 60 days on the Advance space station.
After two months of life, they will make sure that the parts of the station are in good condition, and then return to the surface for several unmanned rotation tests, and then conduct manned tests.
Of course, they also have an important task to cooperate with the Wandering Earth crew to shoot some scenes in space, and there are only three months left before the Spring Festival, plus post-production and editing, the crew is ready to go to the sky in the near future, and it is expected to take the Pioneer that is still on the ground, and by the way, send a large number of materials and new scientific research equipment to the space station.
So when Frank Young got off the minibus, he saw the crew bus parked not far away.
Guo Fan, who was busy counting the equipment again, also looked at the dozen or so minibuses that the scientists of the Advisory Committee were riding, and the two met their eyes when they saw Frank Yang.
Frank Young looked at this enthusiastic young director, and didn't know why he had a bad premonition.
"Mr. Yang, I really didn't expect to meet you here!"
"Hello hello ......"
Guo Fan looked Frank Yang who was still in good spirits up and down, and his mind was quickly looking for where he could make a cameo in the movie, even if he was put in the next movie, he couldn't let him run.
But at this time, other scientists also got off one after another, and Hawking, Penrose and others were also very recognizable by the public, and Guo Fan even felt a little picky for a while.
There are nearly 100 foreign members on the advisory committee, and the news of their participation has been heavily publicized in China, and Guo Fan certainly knows what they are doing here.
However, although he tried hard to persuade these well-known figures to make cameo appearances in the movie, none of the scientists who came here had some concerns, and coupled with the language barrier, Guo Fan's efforts were not successful.
Especially when Academician She and Lin Ju rushed over, he was quickly ignored.
"Welcome to our base."
Lin Ju's pun of welcome immediately resonated with many people present, and they shook hands with him warmly, like an old friend reunited after a long absence.
However, Academician She on the side didn't know why, when they were in the capital before, these foreigners were not so easy to talk to, could it really be bought with an air plane ticket?
This is too lacking in the arrogance of scientists!
Of course, he didn't know the mentality of the members, most of the top scientists on the Advisory Board were very old, curious about the paranormal experience that had happened the other day, and eager to learn more.
However, they were still ostensibly "outsiders" who only came to conduct space training, and their public activities were limited, and they were soon relocated to a fixed area.
It wasn't until after dark that Lin Ju and the rest of the executives sneaked in to meet up.
Although it was more than a day of travel, the members were still in good spirits and curious to experience the results of the base.
Hawking is being pushed in a wheelchair by a service robot, and Frank Young is poking around on the simulated appearance of a robot.
A large number of service robots that have been trained to be extremely mature are not the most shocking thing for them, and Penrose holds the tablet to communicate with the base's "Shanhai" AI, and exclaims from time to time.
After seeing Lin Ju and the others, they immediately gathered over and spontaneously formed a circle.
Lin Ju didn't talk nonsense, and directly said the two most important things: the construction of the Zero Plain and the scientific research center, and some other things were sent to them to digest the information first.
Plains Zero immediately made the scene noisy after saying it, but fortunately this is the basement and there is no sound coming out.
If the power of the system confuses them, the threat of Plains Zero is much more realistic, causing a great shock to everyone.
There are many conjectures about aliens, and Fermi was also obsessed with them in his later years, and proposed the famous Fermi paradox:
No matter how low the probability of the birth of life is, the Milky Way alone has hundreds of billions of stars, and the number of stars in the universe is even more innumerable, why haven't humans observed other civilizations?
According to the speed of scientific development of mankind, it is entirely possible to develop a powerful interstellar civilization in the past 10 billion years or so in the universe.
This conjecture immediately became an important conjecture in the scientific community about aliens, and although Plain Zero did not answer the Fermi paradox, it undoubtedly proved the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, which in itself was an extremely shocking discovery.
However, Lin Ju didn't give them much time, these things can be left for later to digest slowly, and tonight's theme is still the future development direction of the base.
First, with regard to Mars, all members of the Advisory Committee unanimously endorsed the resolution to carry out the mission to Mars as quickly as possible and to provide full assistance.
This is certainly not about technical help, but about using their influence to guide countries as much as possible to invest as much resources as possible in space technology.
Frank Young even directly proposed:
"We need to immediately mobilize the Academy of Sciences to provide more support to United Mining, and there are many ongoing materials and scientific research, all of which need to find ways to connect with space, so that all development is inseparable from space."
From the moment Plain Zero appeared, the entire history of mankind has been different, and we must make the most thoughtful plans. ”
Penrose: "We have to lead the public to change attitudes, there are still a lot of people who think that space is not about ordinary people, we have to make them feel the benefits of the development of space technology, it's just that the power of the scientific community is still too thin."
And it is not enough to develop low-earth orbit, I think we should consider the technologies for deep space: controlled nuclear fusion, high-sub-light spacecraft, quantum communication technology, etc., otherwise there is still no ability to prevent danger. ”
