"The conditions are a little rudimentary, but for the time being, your conditions will be met here."

Jin Rong looked apologetically at the group behind him, and then took the lead in through the gate.

He was followed by Yang Zhongkai, who looked up at the obviously faded door frame and roughly judged that there should still be traces of the 90s.

This is a small pile of buildings located in the suburbs of Beijing, in the barren grassland, most of the whitewashed red walls have fallen off, and many traces of slogans can still be seen.

"It's okay, it's quiet and nice."

"Haha, it's really good to do research...... Don't worry, it's sometimes used as an event venue, and the water and electricity are very good, and you don't need to clean up, and you can use it right away. ”

Jin Rong said as he looked at these ordinary researchers, wondering what the "Space Strategy Research Society" does.

The day before yesterday, a notice was suddenly issued from above, requesting that an organization called the "Space Strategy Research Society" be attached to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which nominally belongs to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, but is actually directly under the jurisdiction of the Government Affairs Yuan.

To put it simply, this workshop is small, but it has the ability to directly reach the heavens, and the level is quite high.

The above also asked to find a relatively remote office space for the research society, so Jin Rong finally chose here.

Because the exterior wall was red in the past, it was also called "Red Mansion".

Yang Zhongkai was very satisfied with the location of the Red Mansion, and when he saw that the activity room was cleaned up, he saw that it was less than three o'clock in the afternoon, so he simply convened the first formal meeting of the Space Strategy Research Association.

Yang Zhongkai was very pragmatic and organized everyone to simply clean an activity room, and then moved a blackboard from the warehouse to support it, in his opinion, this is the perfect place for research.

In addition to these people now, basically all people who know about extraterrestrial civilizations are also members of the research society, and their status can be seen in general.

This old building in the suburbs of Beijing is actually very atmospheric in terms of design, it used to be the factory building of a small mechanical and electrical factory, but for various reasons it finally fell into the hands of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the geographical location is not suitable for industrial or commercial use, so it has been idle in the end.

Attached to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is also to hide people's eyes, anyway, there are all kinds of strange research institutes these days, and this research will hardly be noticed.

Jin Rong, the person who requisitioned the Red Mansion, couldn't see the origin at all, the leader seemed to be just a university professor, and most of the others didn't know him, only one or two guys from the think tank had a little impression, as if they had seen it at the conference.

He turned around and picked up the chalk, making a constant "swish" sound on the blackboard, and soon heard the chalk breaking and being thrown to the ground.

Jin Rong took a dozen people around the "Red Mansion", and then left very interestingly, leaving behind the members of the research society.

The Space Strategy Research Society has a simple name, complex members, and confidential content, because it is a research organization established in response to the crisis of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Yang Zhongkai's appointment as president is just a simple coordinating role, and the research of extraterrestrial civilizations is not about technology, and it is impossible for a single person to support the entire organization, but it requires a team with talents from all walks of life to rigorously analyze, make bold guesses, and set the tone carefully.

It is estimated that the Space Strategy Research Society will need 100 resident researchers, including general practitioners, and the cooperation of multiple departments at the same time, so it needs a large territory.

"On the Impact of Technological Development on Social Formations: What Did the First Industrial Revolution Change?"

The researchers below looked calm, unfazed by the title.

The research group is not only to study extraterrestrial civilizations, but also to study the impact of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations on the entire human society, which is an extremely broad and complex topic.

"Technology has changed human civilization. From the Jenny loom to the steam engine, to the train, to the internal combustion engine, the electric light, and so on, every technological innovation is a subversion of ideology.

The destruction of the traditional handicraft textile system by the Jenny loom and the power of the steam engine forced the peasants to surrender their land and become a super-large bankrupt group, which led directly to the creation of a new class.

A textile machine can shatter the era when homesteaders were the main body, a railroad can make people in different regions have a solid common understanding, and wireless telegraphy can mesh together information islands.

Without technological progress, there would be no current ideology, let alone the ideological revolution that would follow, and the appearance and mainstream thinking of the entire human society would be completely different.

Therefore, we always take technology as the starting point, judge the development status of civilization from the advanced degree of technology, judge the social science system with the development idea of technology, and take entropy reduction as the inevitable law of civilization development, whether it is an alien civilization or an earth civilization.

……”

Yang Zhongkai talked eloquently that the biggest help to him in the base for most of the year was that he had a considerable understanding of the development of science and gradually recognized the absolute main role of science.

In fact, there is not much research that can be done on extraterrestrial civilizations, and there is still a lot of evidence on two planets waiting to be discovered, and the current focus of the research society is still on Earth.

How much impact will alien civilizations have on human beings, how to turn these changes into opportunities, and how to maximize their own goals are the most concerned issues above.

Of course, the research group will study various major trends and changes in at least 5 years, or even 10, 20, or 50 years, and the specific content cannot be deduced.

Now the theme of the research conference is a large number of advanced technologies from Xinyuan, which will greatly improve the level of domestic science and technology, but will also bring considerable changes.

……

"Welcome, Robert Lightford."

"Thank you, and I appreciate the invitation."

Under the dense footage and constant flashes, the palms of the two countries' astronauts were tightly clasped together.

It's June 24th, and NACA's current director, Robert, is joined by Xu Rang in an invitation from the China National Space Agency (CNSA) to discuss the in-depth cooperation of the Skydome program – at least on the surface.

The two met not at all as-for-tat as the situation, but a harmonious atmosphere like friends who had not seen each other for many years.

And in Robert's small entourage, there was an entourage officer named David Usno.

The purpose of Robert's entourage is certainly not simple, except for those who need to prepare for John's visit on the surface, and exchange some bottom lines in advance.

The meeting of senior leaders will not be long, John's time in China will not exceed three days, and with the necessary public events, the opportunity for a real secret meeting may be only two or three hours.

Therefore, it is very important to understand the other party's intentions as much as possible in advance, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to let David come to Huaguo.

On the first day, there was no private contact between the two parties, and it was not until the second day after Xu Rang completed the debriefing that someone from above secretly summoned Robert and David.
