You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Sun Shaocheng’s idea is what almost everyone thinks, and it is actually correct because that is the top-level design.

As the name "space shuttle" suggests, this is a kind of aircraft between the aircraft within the atmosphere and the real spacecraft, and is a transitional product.

Listening to the official report, "application within the solar system", if you still can't see this, then you are too slow.

Five days later, the aerospace department held a grand press conference.

At the press conference, the newly appointed boss gave a detailed introduction to the "Spacecraft 01", including but not limited to the original design intention, design parameters, applied technologies, some future applications... and so on.

The press conference was held in the form of a live broadcast. At least over 100 million people across the country watched the live broadcast through different media platforms, and more than one billion people knew about it that day.

Globally, excluding Chinese people, the number of foreigners who watched the live broadcast exceeded 200 million!
With the rapid spread of the media, more than four billion people around the world knew about this that day.

Every time the new boss introduced something, there was a burst of exclamations and warm applause at the press conference. There was also an excited cry of "666", "Awesome", "My country is so great", "Everyone stand up", "!!!!!!"...

The appearance alone, more than 300 meters long, more than 50 meters wide, and more than 100 meters high, has amazed countless people!

When they heard that this "Spaceship No. 01" uses a controlled nuclear fusion engine, everyone was amazed.

As for what will happen next, one can travel the entire solar system with a full tank of fuel, scientific research exploration spacecraft will begin scientific research exploration of the entire solar system after the National Day in 2024, the moon will be opened up for large-scale development, construction and tourism, and manned landing on Mars and construction of a Mars base will be carried out... and so on, everyone is numb to it.

Yes, numb.

The press conference was completely silent, and the live broadcast room was also quiet.

So exciting!

Everyone has thought that after the birth of the "space shuttle" our journey of space exploration will reach a climax, but no one expected this climax to be so high, let alone that this climax would come so quickly. It was so exciting that everyone was numb.

Large-scale development of the moon and construction of a base on Mars are still acceptable, after all, we are already doing it. But traveling the solar system, sending out scientific research vessels to explore the entire solar system starting next year?
This is something that has never appeared in science fiction movies, but we are really going to do it. It is not fake, we are really going to send people to do it. How ambitious is this? How shocking is this?

Things that science fiction movies have never thought of, things that human imagination has never thought of, we are going to do it now.

This plan completely breaks through imagination and brain holes, reaching an incredible level!

When everyone came to their senses, they were excited again.

"Is this true? A scientific expedition to the entire solar system?"

"Amazing! This operation is amazing!"

"My God, sending a scientific research team to conduct a scientific research survey of the entire solar system, is this a plan that a human could come up with?"

“My scalp is tingling!”

"This is our Chinese nation. When we master science and technology, we will be the only force that can lead mankind to complete the essential leap of life!"

"Too powerful! Incredibly powerful!"

"This is truly a major change that has not happened in a million years. We have actually reached such an incredible height. I couldn't even imagine it."

……

Of course, while being shocked by this grand space exploration plan, people subconsciously reviewed our development over the years and lamented that our progress speed has reached an incredible level.

It was only three years ago that we announced the completion of the lunar base.

Today, three years later, we are no longer satisfied with just developing the moon, we want to develop the entire solar system.

And this is just the change in three years!

It is said that the world changes dramatically, and that is the changes that occur over hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years.

But now, in just three years, we have completed further iteration of technology and reached an incredible height.

“That’s too fast!”

"Yes, it's too fast. Three years ago, we had to launch rockets one by one to build a lunar base, and it took five or six years or even ten or twenty years to advance and complete it. But today, three years later, we only need a spacecraft to fly once or twice to build a lunar base of the same scale. We can even build bases on distant Mars, Saturn, and Venus~"

“This is the power of technological explosion!”

"No, this is not the power of technological explosion, this is the power of theoretical breakthrough. All of this is because Zhao Shen solved a series of theoretical problems such as controlled nuclear fusion and room temperature superconductivity, which is why there is today's technological explosion."

"Now that I think about it, Zhao Shen is far more powerful than we could have imagined. All the previous achievements were just superficial and superficial. The real achievements of greater importance are still to come, and they need to be further understood."

……

After the press conference, people discussed topics ranging from "spacecraft" to space exploration, then to our explosive development in recent years, and finally to technology and basic scientific theories, and to Zhao Mo. There is no way, many things need more practical testing and more time to prove.

Just like Einstein's theory of relativity, which has been around for many years, scientists are still constantly proving whether it is correct, and then verifying that it is correct using various advanced instruments and equipment.

As a result, people increasingly felt that Einstein was really great!

Because Zhao Mo is still alive and young, people have always thought that he is very powerful and can be compared with Einstein, but after all, he is still a little inferior to Einstein and other great people.

Until now, with the advent of the spacecraft, people looked back and realized that they had underestimated Zhao Mo's contribution in the past. In fact, many of Zhao Mo's theories could have a very large influence, but the conditions at the time did not allow it, so it could not be seen.

In addition to discussing what the "spacecraft" can do, the turbulent public opinion has also sparked a wave of discussions on how to evaluate Zhao Shen's status and historical position in the scientific community.

For Chinese people, Zhao Mo is definitely recognized to the sky, far surpassing any previous scientist.

There are many reasons, but for most people, one is enough: why didn't scientists in the past create something like a "space shuttle"?
For the vast majority of people, they don’t understand the theory, don’t understand the science, and don’t know the twists and turns behind them. They only look at the obvious results.

One spacecraft is enough to lead all mankind to the sea of ​​stars. He is definitely more powerful than any scientists in the past!
For thousands and tens of thousands of years, human beings have been confined to the earth, unable to escape.

Now, Zhao Shenyi has come forward to finalize the relevant theories, and now we have built spacecraft that can send people to other planets on a large scale. From now on, humans have become an interstellar race. Is it too much to rank first for this great contribution to changing the destiny of the entire human race?
Not too much at all!
There are some opinions abroad, but they are concentrated in the scientific community, saying that there is no difference between scientific theories, and the importance of this technology cannot be used to distinguish between the high and low. For ordinary people, their views are consistent with those of the vast majority of people in China.

There is no need to tell us any profound principles, we just need to look at the results in front of us!
"So, I am the first scientist of mankind?"

After the official press conference, Zhao Mo finished his mission there and returned to the capital, and soon learned about this public opinion.

Zhao Mo smiled noncommittally and said to Zhou Zuojian who came to tease him, "This compliment is actually not bad~"

"..."

Zhou Zuojian's expression froze and he was speechless.

He was still thinking about how Zhao Mo would be humble, but he didn't expect Zhao Mo to admit it bluntly and even complain that this statement was not qualified.

He was a little discouraged and thought: "I really can't think too highly of him~"

As for rebuttal, Zhou Zuojian had never thought about it.

In Zhou Zuojian's heart, he actually thought that Zhao Mo was worthy of this high hat. Not only did he have so many great theories, he also turned the theories into corresponding science and technology, and then created specific projects that changed mankind.

There is nothing wrong with ranking such a great scientist, who can not only create new theories but also handle practices and push the entire human civilization towards interstellar civilization, being ranked first throughout history.

If Zhao Mo dares to claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.

As for the identity of Chinese people, students, and younger generations, although it has some impact, it is insignificant.

Then, he changed the subject and said, "I'm retiring this year. Why don't you take the position of Dean of the School of Mathematics?"

He said in a questioning tone.

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "I don't have time to manage it~"

"Of course I know this, so you as the dean will not be involved in specific affairs. Just let the vice dean take care of the specific affairs."

Zhou Zuojian shook his head and then said, "Don't even think about refusing. In our school, if you don't become the dean, no one else will dare to become the dean. So, for the sake of the school and the students, you have to become the dean even if you don't want to."

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "It's not that serious, I~"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zuojian interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Don't think of making excuses. You have spent much more time on research than on teaching in recent years. I hope that after you take this position, you can spare more time for teaching, which will also make it easier for you to implement your ideas. Most importantly, don't you think there is a gap between you and us now?"

His tone was heavy when he said the last sentence.

Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

Yes, there is a break!

Not to mention foreign countries, just talking about domestic situations, the gap between him and others is indeed very large, it is indeed a huge gap.

The main work of these major scientific research projects he was in charge of was initiated and completed by him. This model is actually unhealthy.

Only when a hundred flowers bloom can the economy be healthy and sustainable.

"it is good!"

Finally, Zhao Mo agreed to this matter. (End of this chapter)
