Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

December 31.

The last day of the year in the Gregorian calendar.

All over the country, lights are lit up to prepare for the new year.

In places with a strong business atmosphere, such as Shanghai, major shopping malls, landscapes, and landmarks are in a state of preparation as if they were going to war to deal with the terrifying crowds.

On this day, Zhou Rui's family naturally had a family dinner and didn't think about anything else. Han Rongze couldn't come back early because of the time off work, but Zhou Rui went home a few hours earlier and took the position of the chef on top. He and Li Huihua were responsible for dinner together.

In fact, very early, or when Bai Xiaoying was still in charge of his security, the other party mentioned whether to arrange a nanny for the family.

This candidate must be trustworthy. The Secret Service has some recommended candidates who usually do laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc.

But Zhou Rui refused.

It depends on how you look at the problem. If you regard the trivialities of life as a burden and trouble, if conditions permit, you can naturally find a way to get rid of it.

But Zhou Rui is still young, he is not tired of the trivialities of life. He likes to cook delicious food and doesn't like to have people other than relatives at home.

Just like some people drive themselves not because they can't afford a driver, but because they like driving.

Besides, to be honest, he didn't worry too much. Han Ziyin and Li Wenqian managed their lives in an orderly manner. The only thing he could count as giving was to make some delicious food to reward them.

Amid the sizzling sound of frying, the dishes gradually took shape. The kitchen was big enough, and the two stoves were enough to support him and Li Huihua to work together.

In terms of cooking skills, the two of them were 40% and 60% respectively, and he was 40%.

Li Huihua, who had studied food for many years, was still better than Zhou Rui and knew more dishes, but Zhou Rui had a cheat. Once he came up with "luminous cuisine", he was crushed.

A fish head stew that tested the heat gradually made a "zhazha" sound, which meant that it was ripe and the charming aroma was emitted.

Zhou Rui wore gloves and an apron, standing by the casserole waiting for the harvest. The faint light that flashed by made Zhou Rui smile proudly.

As for cooking, it depends on the Zhou family!

Li Wenqian, who was about to put on gloves and was cleaning the table, shouted crisply: "Zhou Rui, your phone rang."

Zhou Rui said: "Bring it here for me to see, I don't have hands."

Li Wenqian held up the phone and Zhou Rui took a look. It was a message from Gan Yuan, and a link was also attached.

Zhou Rui said indifferently: "It's okay, it's not important, put it aside first, help me wash two bell peppers."

It was about the landing of the Eye of Artemis, and NASA was broadcasting it live.

Although the time point of this New Year's Eve was different in different countries due to time differences, there were many people paying attention to this matter.

But Zhou Rui was different, he only needed to know one result.

Whether the lunar probe can successfully land on the moon is not more important to him than the fish head in front of him.

Li Wenqian said: "Ziyin said you have to work overtime tonight?"

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Yes, some things must be dealt with before the New Year's Eve, but I will leave after dinner and come back after 12 o'clock. Maybe my dad and his friends are still drinking. I will only be absent for a few hours."

——

East Coast, Merritt Island, Florida, Kennedy Space Center.

After twelve days of flight, the "Eye of Artemis" lunar probe was captured by the gravity of the moon. After another three days, the lunar probe cut into the near-moon elliptical orbit from the far-moon orbit.

As for the "fairing" accident during the launch half a month ago, which caused the lunar probe to be hit, it has been almost digested.

NASA has had almost non-stop discussions and speculated on various possibilities, but they can't do much, and they can't get a definite answer.

They can only perceive the lunar probe flying alone 380,000 kilometers away through various sensor feedback.

In the past ten days, the test program has been run hundreds of times, and all the feedback is normal, but this does not prove anything.

They can only pray and hope that the moon landing will go smoothly.

Especially in the spotlight, this time the moon landing is also live broadcast like the launch, which attracted too much attention.

In the command center, the content sent back by the camera of the "Eye of Artemis" appeared on the big screen, with a fixed angle, facing a void.

"Enter the orbit change parameters, and the power landing countdown."

"The main thruster starts!"

"The horizontal thruster started successfully, and the vertical axis is pointing to the moon."

On the screen, the endless gray moon surface finally appeared.

Dead silence, cold.

Due to the lack of atmospheric protection, almost every inch of land has been baptized by meteorites.

This scene shocked many people in the command room. Even if they are NASA employees, the last lunar exploration was the Apollo program in 1972. It is not their generation at all.

They have seen the information and photos countless times, but they are not as shocked as seeing it once now.

Hansen stood in the center of the command room, his hand firmly pressed against his chin, his whole body trembling slightly.

He had seen this scene decades ago.

Therefore, he had been chasing it all his life.

His poor health seemed to have improved, and his body began to regain vitality, even if it was only on the spiritual level.

"Microwave rangefinder activated! Laser rangefinder activated!"

"Accelerometer activated!"

"Variable thrust engine coordinated successfully. Vertical axis conversion speed is normal!"

The picture of the moon became clearer and clearer.

The "Eye of Artemis" continued to fall, its thrusters constantly adjusting its angle, heading towards a carefully selected place.

This area belongs to the "Imbrium" on the lunar surface and is one of the largest "plain areas" on the front of the moon.

A few minutes later, at a height of four meters from the lunar surface, the thrusters of the Eye of Artemis, which had been completely shut down, landed steadily in the loose lunar soil, stirring up some dust.

Hansen closed his eyes and waved his fist slightly.

No one needed to take the lead, everyone cheered like a tsunami at the same time.

"success!"

"We did it!"

Applause, whistles, strange screams.

"Eye of Artemis", the most dangerous process. Successfully completed!

Even the step of achieving a smooth and soft landing is something that only a few countries in the world can achieve. If we only look at the past few decades, only China achieved it three years ago.

If the entire lunar landing detection is regarded as a "big gamble", then once the step of soft landing on the lunar surface is completed, it is almost equivalent to standing at the door of the exchange office with chips in hand.

They have worked hard for so long and finally proved to everyone that they are capable of returning to the moon!

This is definitely a historic moment!

Even the senior officials behind the command room couldn't help but keep applauding.

A smile appeared on Hansen's haggard face, and his complexion became visibly better. He clapped his hands and said, "Conduct a self-examination. After five minutes, open the barn door and let our 'Cerunne' out to experience the moon." scenery.”

Similar to Chang'e-3, the Artemis Eye detector adopts the nesting doll mode. The main detector has no moving function. The lunar exploration mainly relies on the lunar rover "Cerune" carried inside it. Its name comes from the mythical moon god Ah. Themis's mount, a doe.

The command room briefly returned to silence, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner. Of course, those who were thinking further away were already thinking about promotions and salary increases.

After all, "return to the moon" has been called for decades, and this is the first time it has been successful.

Even the senior officials at the rear are already considering whether to use this as a starting point to deliver several wonderful and exciting speeches in the Senate

A senator walked up.

"Dr. Hansen, a huge and impressive success, congratulations."

Hansen shook hands: "It's very rare. My team and I are proud of it."

"I can promote a proposal meeting and invite you to enter the Senate and tell everyone about the fruitful life of a founder of the Apollo program. I believe this can promote the United States' continued investment in the aerospace field."

Hansen hesitated slightly. He himself was not very interested in this, and all honors no longer meant much to him.

But if it can promote the development of the U.S. aerospace industry, he is willing to use his remaining energy.

"Can we talk about it in detail later, the specific plan or something?"

The obviously energetic senator nodded: "Of course, this is a big thing, we can..."

Just as he was about to say something else, a notice came from the command room.

"One minute countdown until the warehouse door opens."

The senator gestured for Hansen to finish the work in front of him. Hansen nodded and turned to look at the screen.

There are two directions in the picture, one is at the feet of the detector, and the other is the lonely lunar surface in front.

You can see as far as the eye can see. So beautiful

However, as the countdown ended, a scream spread in the command room.

"The warehouse door opening command. Completed, the warehouse door has not been opened."

"What's the meaning?"

"The command feedback shows that it has been unlocked! But the 'Cerunne' camera shows that the door has not been opened."

Panic, disbelief, and disbelief instantly swallowed up the original excitement and enthusiasm.

"The circuit system is normal. The warehouse door cannot be opened due to physical reasons."

"It seems like it might be... deformed."

For a moment, many memories flashed through Hansen's mind like a revolving door.

Fairing emergency handling during launch. Collision tips

His vision began to blur rapidly.

In the midst of great joy and sorrow, this 70-year-old man finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Everyone looked at him, at the leader of Apollo, at the backbone of this place.

Hansen opened his mouth, planning to say or do something.

But he found that he had lost his voice.

In sight, everyone's faces turned into ferocious grimaces, with explicit mockery.

Hansen Doyle.

He fell into a coma in the command room.

——————

"According to the latest authoritative news, the 'Artemis Eye Project' successfully soft-landed on the lunar surface. However, during the subsequent lunar exploration process, due to an unknown fault, the warehouse door could not be opened.

"The internal lunar exploration rover 'Cerunne' was unable to drive out, resulting in the failure to complete 80% of the projects in the scientific research plan."

"According to international practice, lunar exploration needs to complete the following: 'soft landing', 'lunar rover driving out', 'vehicle and vehicle photoshooting', 'lunar rover traveling more than 30 meters' before it can be declared a success. Although NASA claims that it is still Looking for a solution, but the outside world has already believed that this lunar exploration plan ended in failure."

Shanghai, smart building.

The time at this time is 9 o'clock in the evening, and there are only three hours left before the new year.

After Zhou Rui finished the family dinner, he came to the office of the smart building alone.

He did not watch the NASA live broadcast, but only confirmed the failure there through the news.

He was not very happy. To be honest, he hoped to have a decent opponent in this field.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to go all out and not be motivated.

But today, or tonight, there is something more important for him.

That is, he has not used up all five "Mind Creation" quotas this year.

When he obtained [Peak of Human Mind], his five simulation abilities (Da Yan Gui Yi, Castle in the Air, Tracing the Origin, Copycat, and Sameness) were integrated into a new ability: "Mind Creation"

Can use system computing power to build deductions and simulations in the brain, including but not limited to mathematical principles, chemical substances, biological genes, physical experiments, and engineering design, and use it five times a year.

This "award" is too big, so big that he is a little difficult to grasp.

In addition, he has not solved his previous knot, is not so eager for new technologies, and even a little resistant, so he has never used it.

It can be imagined that after today, he will have five more cutting-edge technologies second only to "Revelation of Heaven".

But before activating "Mind Creation", he still has a preliminary work to do, which may improve the quality of the products obtained.

In the huge and empty office, Zhou Rui stood in front of the French window with his hands behind his back.

There was no light in the office, but it still had its own color, because outside the French window, there were thousands of lights.

The tide-like flow of people never stopped, and every window was warm. The night of New Year's Eve was not quiet at all, and it even seemed a little too lively.

But he liked this kind of liveliness.

Zhou Rui just looked at it through the glass.

Silently opened the system and looked at the first one in the task bar.

"Entry task [Time Management Master], current progress (100/100)."

This is a very special task, which comes from the prompt of "Master Zhou Rui". At first, Zhou Rui only thought that the master felt that he was hesitating in his feelings and gave him some external help.

But in fact, during the candid communication in the Thinking Hall, the master reminded him of the special nature of this entry before leaving.

This is also a puzzle. An extremely important puzzle.

From yesterday afternoon to this morning, he finally earned the last bit of experience by working in three shifts.

Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment and chose to receive it.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the white entry [Time Management Master]."

"Entry effect: The probability of the host's deception and lies to the intimate object being exposed is greatly reduced, and the intimate object's trust in the host is greatly increased."

"Note: Now even if she is caught on the spot, she will only think that you are talking about work, but it's just hot and you don't wear too much."

Zhou Rui curled his lips, what a scumbag's ability. And it's white

Fortunately, this is just a material. Otherwise, he would feel that his entry library is not clean.

Zhou Rui took a deep breath and didn't want to look at it any more.

According to the previous suggestion of "Master Zhou Rui", the two entries were dragged into the synthesis column respectively.

They are:

[Aquaman] and [Time Management Master]

(Please read the author's words to review the effect of the entry. I won't add any more words.)

After a while, the system prompts that the synthesis path does not exist.

But Zhou Rui is not panicking. According to the advice of Master Zhou Rui, if these two don't work, add another one...

[Peek]!

"Searching for the path. The synthesis path exists. Do you want to synthesize?"

"Synthesize!"

[Aquaman] + [Time Management Master] + [Peek] =?

A blue light flashes.

"Congratulations to the host, blue entry [Master of Emotion Management]."

"Entry Effect 1: The host can detect the target's emotions and feelings towards himself, including but not limited to clear emotions such as love, admiration, hatred, and disgust. For overly complex emotions, only the current and most intense one will be displayed."

"Entry Effect 2: Face to face, the host's lies are extremely difficult to expose, the host's promises are extremely easy to be trusted, and the host's influence is extremely difficult to eliminate."

"Entry Effect 3: When the host is concentrating, he can interfere with the target's emotions and thoughts, and map his own emotions and thoughts to the target."

"Note: Brain wave resonance is a natural law that always affects anyone who tries to influence others' minds. Your ability is stronger, but you also need to be more careful."

A brand new, powerful blue entry.

And because its material is very "scumbag", the effect of this [Master of Emotion Management] is also very dangerous.

But. Tonight is still very long

This is not Zhou Rui's end.

Sometimes, all you lack is a small piece of the puzzle.

And the accumulation has already been completed.

Tonight, he only received an entry task, and it was a useless white entry.

But it led to a very important road.

In the synthesis column, Zhou Rui pulled the [Emotional Management Master] he had just synthesized into it again.

Then he dragged in an old entry that had been silent for a long time but had been playing a role.

[Faith Collector]. (Author's words)

"Searching. Whether the synthesis path exists or not"

"Synthesize."

The same blue light flashed, and the new entry with one blue and one green as materials was still blue in rarity.

But its name is extremely special.

Or in other words, Zhou Rui has been waiting for many years

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the blue entry [Elected Person]."

Tonight, he will become.

[The Light of Humanity].
