Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

At this time, in the boundless space, on the blue planet, a passenger broke through the constraints of gravity and arrived in low-Earth orbit.

This is a magical object. Its main body is composed of four cubes with sides two meters long: a mortise and tenon platform.

If you look closely, you will find that the mortise and tenon platforms are not perfectly connected, and there are single-sided structures in between.

The whole body is pitch black, with faint mechanical lines.

With this look, it can be directly shot in a science fiction movie. People who say it is an alien spaceship will definitely believe it.

If you don’t believe it, let him come up and see for himself!

This strange construct has a self-contained internal system, has thousands of intelligent nodes, and has extremely high intelligence. It knows very well what its mission is.

Construction, Nantianmen.

When the "Nantianmen Project Start" command was issued from the ground, this construct began a series of changes.

First, there are four mortise and tenon platforms that begin to disintegrate down the middle.

The four mortise and tenon platforms are far away from each other, and even the bricks are gradually separated from the body.

In the weightless state, it looks a little light, which is no different from disintegration.

If this continues, I am afraid it will become garbage distributed in orbit.

But soon, Tenon and Tenon each developed four mechanical arms, and their own swimming propellers opened and closed instantly, providing valuable direction correction force.

More than a dozen "bricks" also activated their own Hall thrusters and adjusted their posture.

The robotic arm flexibly captures the "bricks" and begins to connect them together.

It's like there is a pair of invisible giant hands playing with these huge building blocks

——————

On the ground, Wanhu Intelligent Command Center.

Everyone looked at the white stage in front of them and at the mimetic structure composed of metal torrent.

It was as if my eyes were taken to space.

This once again reflects the advantages of the "mimic command" mode, everything is so intuitive and controllable.

Some people even began to use the naked eye to judge whether the posture of the mortise and tenon platform has deviated.

"The Mortise and Tenon platform was successfully launched and the reorganization process has begun."

"The deployment was successful and the communication network is normal!"

"Reporting unit four telemetry data."

"Telemetry indicators are normal and fuel consumption is within the rated range!"

In a gravity-free environment, any tiny "force" and "speed" will have long-lasting effects.

If it's even a little off, it could be the fate of becoming the garbage of the universe.

Therefore, the reorganization speed of mortise and tenon joints is not pursued fast, but stable.

Everyone was waiting with bated breath, as if they were afraid that their breathing would affect the unfolding of the Nantianmen, even though what they saw in front of them was just a mimetic structure.

The only one with a calm expression was Zhou Rui.

First of all, he is the backbone of everyone. Everyone has the right to panic, but not him.

Even if I want to go to the toilet, I have to hold it in until it is over.

In addition, he also believes in his own level and his hard work over a long period of time.

To take a step back, even if something goes wrong

Zhou Rui looked at the small shower head on his shoulder. It didn't intervene for the time being, but when needed, there would be no difference between this guy and me.

Intelligent mechanical life is inherently capable of replacing humans in reaching inaccessible spaces.

As long as the hardware carrier is suitable, they can search for rare minerals in magma, explore ruins thousands of meters underground, and build building blocks in space.

"The deployment was successful, let's start building again!"

"Pillar No. 1 successfully captured all targets!"

"Pillar Two successfully captured all targets!"

"Number three."

The mimetic components in front of me gradually became completely different.

Four mortise and tenon joints serve as pillars, and are connected by "bricks" in the middle to create a smooth plane.

The ceramic tile-like "slab tiles" not only serve as connections on the inside, but also extend partially to form a rectangular platform with a total area of ​​96m.

Surprisingly, this is not a pure plane. There is a "ship island"-shaped part at the tail. I don't know what its purpose is.

The dark black surface of the entire platform has begun to receive sunlight.

"All connections are locked."

"Perovskite solar cells work normally, have stable power and 62% energy efficiency."

"The intelligent system self-test is normal."

"The Hall thrusters are all shut down and the energy reserves are starting to rise."

"The first phase of Nantianmen was successfully launched!"

The corners of Zhou Rui's mouth twitched slightly, the lowest expectation had been achieved.

Although everyone has seen the entire process of Nantianmen's deformation and unfolding from the mimic components, I am afraid that it still lacks some convincing to the outside world.

There is a dilemma in the aerospace industry, that is, if you want to declare success, you must prove it to others and take the initiative to demonstrate it.

Especially in some unprecedented areas.

This is true for lunar exploration, and it will be true for future space stations, including Nantianmen at this time.

As long as there is any doubt, it cannot be finalized, especially when this achievement comes from a non-Western country.

Fortunately, Taiyi Gong was already prepared, and so was Zhou Rui. To be precise, the second half had just reached its climax.

————

As Zhou Rui guessed, the space agencies and aerospace companies of various countries were shocked and speechless because of the mimic command technology.

But after all, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"I understand, their metal simulation technology is real! But the orbital platform in space is completely fake!"

You can always trust a certain eastern power and question the abilities of others.

"Think about it! Use simulation technology to calm everyone first, and then no one will doubt the authenticity of the follow-up, so they can make up all kinds of appearances, and only the truly smart people will reflect on it!"

"It's just a Chinese company, how can it possibly build any orbital platform."

"It makes sense that I just focused on the simulation piece. If you think about it, with such technology, you can just play with it casually. You can't see things in space anyway."

Including NASA, the European Space Agency, and even some higher-level political forces, they do not rule out such suspicions in their hearts.

In other words, there are such expectations.

They really hope that someone can tell them with certainty that everything is a scam.

It is a ridiculous farce directed and performed by the opposite party, rather than another milestone in human space exploration.

Otherwise, they will be left too far behind.

Unfortunately, Zhou Rui's next words on TV broke their illusions.

"Activate observer perspective."

——————

"Activate the observer's perspective!"

After Zhou Rui gave the order, he did not wait on the spot, but walked onto the white platform under the gaze of countless spectators.

Only then did everyone realize that it was possible to walk up there!

I always thought that such a high-tech and mysterious white area needs to be protected with special care.

But why did Leader Zhou go up? What is the observer's perspective?

The next moment, the perspective on the TV program actually changed.

It is in the endless void.

There is a shiny new black platform in front of you.

Farther away, there is half a blue planet.

"Ah~?"

Those who watched the TV all sighed that they had made a profit, and this perspective was worth a lot of money!

In the past, orbital space vehicles launched by humans can be roughly divided into two types.

One is the satellite type. Due to its small size, the structure needs to be as compact as possible. Even if there is a camera, it is facing the ground. No one can see what "it" looks like and how it flies.

The other is the "International Space Station", the world's only large-scale space vehicle. Although it is larger in size, because it is a "manned" space vehicle, the viewing angle is basically limited to the interior.

Even if a camera can be installed on the outer wall, the robot arm must be extended to be able to barely capture part of its own structure.

It would take a ridiculously long robotic arm to take a clear picture of the space station, which is obviously impossible.

It is the first time in human history that a square-like flat structure like the "Southern Gate" can be easily photographed.

This cosmic perspective seems to be fixed on the back-end "ship island" structure, allowing the entire Nantianmen to be seen at a glance.

It also directly kills the process of "aerospace self-certification".

But the fun is still not over.

There are many technologies that Zhou Rui wants to reveal today.

He stood in the white space, in front of the miniature Nantianmen, and said in a deep voice: "Mimicry control program detection!"

The staff responded: "The control program was started successfully."

Before anyone could react, Zhou Rui stretched out a hand.

Just like that, a piece of the outer "brick" structure was broken off.

Dragging it on your hand, it looks like a serious tile

Just when everyone thought that Master Zhou was in need.

In the "observer's perspective", the corresponding position of Nantianmen in reality.

A black "plane" is also separated from the main body.

The audience has become numb and cannot say "ah" anymore.

Once again, the director was very smart and opened the screen on both sides, half in space and half in Wanhu Base.

Zhou Rui changed the direction of the "mimicry tiles" in his hand and put them in another position of the "mimicry Nantianmen".

In space, the brick's Hall thruster started working, and after tens of seconds, it also reached the corresponding position, and then regrouped.

A standard rectangular square with a raised piece.

Cerebellar atrophy has become a global infectious disease today

Zhou Rui said in a deep voice again: "Mimetic maintenance program inspection."

"The mimic maintenance program started successfully."

In the command hall, Zhou Rui lightly tapped the small shower head on his shoulder.

The small shower head "understood", and the next moment, the intelligent unit on the ground turned into a small stream, climbing up from the soles of Zhou Rui's feet.

But it's not wrapped like "armor", that's too stupid. It's just a few metal bands attached to the surface of the body along the support lines of the human body structure.

The thighs and calves, the outer sides of the arms, the spine behind the back, and finally ending at the back of the head.

It's like an exoskeleton.

Then one meter behind Zhou Rui, the metal mimic formed a spherical component. There were no details and I didn't know what it was.

When Zhou Rui turned around and took off the ball, countless viewers knew what it was.

That's the "space perspective" in the picture, the camera on the Nantianmen!

The angle of view began to move with Zhou Rui's movements, as if someone was really holding it in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, a metallic humanoid structure appeared on the screen.

On the Nantianmen. In outer space.

Yes, accompanying the Nantianmen payload into space, there are 5,000 intelligent units specially modified to adapt to the orbital environment.

Just like what he said to the driver, if you want to use a small shower head for maintenance in space, you must leave "hands", "feet" and "body" for it.

These intelligent units will be the extension of the small shower in the future and can be controlled freely through relay signals.

If necessary, sweep it, knock it, or provide flexible support for the expansion of Nantianmen Phase II.

And by attaching to the human body surface, human movements can be synchronized on the Nantianmen.

It's like there is an astronaut who neither eats nor drinks, who is not afraid of vacuum and extreme cold, and who is not afraid of the sun's rays, physically sitting on the Nantian Gate.

Or call it Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals?

For example, at this time:

Outside the atmosphere, a one-meter-tall humanoid figure stood on the Nantianmen, holding a spherical camera in its hand.

On the ground, Zhou Rui made a gesture of taking a selfie with his mobile phone, with everyone in the command center behind him.

In space, the mimic metal man also made the same action, but behind it was deep darkness and half a blue planet.

Zhou Rui made a scissor hand gesture, turned around in a circle, and then said to the "observers" around the world:

"The first phase of the Nantianmen orbital machinery platform was successfully constructed."

"It's currently in rough form. I'll slowly decorate it. You're welcome to come and play."

Please give me monthly votes and rewards.

Raise funds to renovate "Nantianmen"

I also tried it, and the double update of large chapters made the ideas more coherent. The total word count is still 7,000+ per day. I will officially announce it.
