From black technology to super engineering

The next day, Ye Ming arrived at the venue on time.

The place where the meeting was held was a huge living room. In order to show equality, a round table meeting was adopted, and because of the large number of participants this time, this round table was really... big and round.

In addition to the elder who presided over the meeting, Ye Ming represented the space agency in China, and General Lu represented the aerospace force—basically, every member participating in the meeting was configured like this.

After all, space needs NASA, and security needs the military.

As for the member states, in addition to the official members of the SCO, there are also observer members and some dialogue partners. There were also representatives of the African Union and ASEAN.

In the past few years, the African Union and ASEAN have obviously been developing towards the integration model of the European Union, so the right to speak in the alliance has gradually increased.

As a result, the number of participants reached more than 20 parties and more than 40 people.

...

Although it is a round table, it also has a center. Ye Ming and General Lu sit next to the leader, sitting on both sides.

The leader started the opening with a passionate speech, first expressed his welcome to the participants, then summarized the achievements of the international and domestic aerospace industry in recent years, and finally looked forward to the future space cooperation plan, and lead to the main body of today's meeting, space security.

"Let's ask our academician Ye Ming to give a specific introduction to our space mission."

The voice of the leader fell, and applause rang out.

Ye Ming stood up with a smile, bowed slightly to the crowd and sat down again, and leaned the microphone slightly in front of him.

He saw that at least one-third of the people present had taken off their earphones—this meant that they could understand Chinese without simultaneous interpretation.

Well, that's a good thing.

"Hello everyone, before the meeting, please take a look at the stereoscopic image in front of your seat."

As his voice fell, a three-dimensional projection like in a science fiction film rose up at the front of each conference table at the same time—in fact, this is just a simple application of AR technology, used for three-dimensional display in meetings, compared to watching PPT , It is much more convenient to put a notebook in front of everyone, and it can also avoid many unnecessary "wandering".

"This is the star map of the solar system."

"We can see that there is an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. In the past billions of years, we once thought that because of Jupiter's gravity, many asteroids left their orbits and came to our earth... ...Some of these asteroids caused mass extinctions, some changed the climate, and some turned into meteors..."

"But now, according to the latest model, the astronomical community believes that it may not only be Jupiter. There is also the unstellar body numbered YE-5D."

Hearing Ye Ming say YE-5D, several people present laughed - they knew that this used to be Ye Ming's account on GitHub.

Using this account name as the name of the non-star body can be regarded as a recognition of his contribution.

"Now, the academic community has a high probability that this is a new type of black hole that cannot be explained by the current standard black hole model, and according to its orbit prediction, it will approach the asteroid belt in the next fifty years."

Following Ye Ming's voice, the picture began to change, and a visualized black hole slowly approached the asteroid belt.

"We can see that as it approaches the asteroid belt, the orbits of countless asteroids will be disturbed, and then they will be accelerated and thrown out of orbits through gravitational slingshots."

"Although Jupiter can handle most of these dangers for us by virtue of its strong gravity and its role as the scavenger of the solar system, leaving the fate of the earth to Jupiter...I think most of us will not accept it, right?"

"For this reason, next month, our space agency will carry out a capture and orbit change plan for an asteroid with a diameter of about 20 meters and numbered YY13019."

"As you can see, the asteroid is currently located between the moon and Mars, and in a month, it will reach the closest orbit to the moon."

As the picture rotates, the position of the asteroid is also clearly marked.

"Our plan is to launch boosters and probes to reach the asteroid through rockets, and then slowly capture it after merging. The plan is as follows."

In the picture, a rocket lifts off from the ground, then flies into space, and then meets and docks with the asteroid.

Everyone looked at the plan and couldn't help discussing in low voices.

Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Although this plan is implemented by us, how should I put it... This plan, in fact, is the most complete and least labor-saving plan. It should be to build a real space rocket interception base on the moon."

"As I said before, we cannot hand over the fate of the earth to Jupiter. Similarly, we cannot hand over the fate of the earth to Mars, to the moon... to gravity."

"And this base requires the cooperation of all of us."

As Ye Ming's voice fell, everyone in the meeting laughed with different expressions at the same time.

Everyone represents the aerospace departments of their respective countries—even if they don’t have any aerospace foundation, they have all been established one after another now that the aerospace era has begun.

After all, God still has to go up.

You don't even have a space agency, how can you cooperate with China, a super aerospace power?

But everyone also knows that this kind of joint establishment of the moon rocket base and the defense center... To put it bluntly, cn is still making great efforts.

Inviting them over is nothing more than wanting the big guys to pay some money, and then applaud and get everyone's unanimous support.

It doesn't matter if you support it, everyone supports it.

But pay... this is something to discuss.

At the very least, it's going to have to be found elsewhere, right?

At this time, the representatives of ASEAN observed the situation and immediately raised their hands with a smile.

Ye Ming made a gesture of invitation.

"Academician Ye, will this lunar rocket defense base be offensive? Well, to be precise, will it launch nuclear warheads into space?"

Ye Ming exchanged glances with the leader, and then with General Lu, who moved the microphone and answered the question with a smile.

"Yes, after all, in the face of space threats, one cannot be too cautious."

"Indeed." The representative of ASEAN, who is from Pacheng, nodded after hearing the words: "We also believe that space security is above all else."

At this time, a voice with a thick tongue sounded.

"Have you ever thought about facing alien civilizations?"

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked towards the source of the voice.

Oh, the one next to Chikanov—should be the head of Maozi's Space Force.

It's just that the strategic authority of the head of the space force is estimated to be ten US emperors behind compared to General Lu.

how? Did he think of alien civilization?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, and some people put on their headphones again, Andrew laughed: "I think forming an international space force is the perfect choice."

As soon as his words fell, another curry-smelling voice sounded immediately.

"agree."

Ye Ming was taken aback, and he subconsciously tilted his head, only to see that the leader was also stunned for a moment.

But immediately, a smile appeared on the leader's face without leaving a trace.
