Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Above our head is the vast universe, and below our feet is the blue earth.

On a black platform flying around the earth at 7.9km/s, a one-meter-tall metal mimic is holding a spherical camera.

Show this wonder to millions of people.

In the airless low-Earth orbit, there is soundless silence.

But on earth, there is already a huge buzz of people.

Countless people watching the live broadcast jumped to their feet to witness this miraculous moment.

"Damn it, Master Zhou is awesome!"

"Swipe your card and pay it back in 72,000 installments."

"In ancient times, there was a foolish old man who moved mountains, but now there is a living father who divides the mountains. Do you want to have endless descendants?"

"Mimic robot? How many good things does he have left?"

"Mom, isn't Nantianmen a myth? Why is there really one in the sky~"

"I have decided that I will become an astronaut in the future! I must go to Nantianmen once in my life!"

Zhou Rui took the mimic camera and returned it to its original place.

Its movements were also synchronized to the Nantianmen.

The camera returned to a structure similar to a ship island, and then Zhou Rui controlled the mimic metal man to walk in front of the camera.

"Everyone, this space mission is a complete success. I hope you like the beautiful scenery brought by Nantianmen."

"The observer perspective will continue to work. You are welcome to view the slow live broadcast on the official website. More specific information will be disclosed in the Clean Space Alliance."

Zhou Rui smiled and waved, and the mimic metal man also waved.

"Well, let's call it a day and see you later."

The next moment, the mimetic metal man fell down like water, turned into a winding metal stream again, and disappeared from the observer's perspective.

In the command center, Zhou Rui's auxiliary intelligent unit also fell back to the ground.

In Wanhu Base, cheers like a tsunami erupted immediately!

Yang Rubin looked complicated. Sure enough, Zhou Rui would never stay quiet no matter what field he was in.

He will let the world hear his voice again and again.

Although Gan Yuan's right leg was weak, she still forced herself to stand up and gave her boss the warmest applause.

Being able to look directly at the sun and appreciate its dazzling beauty is the greatest satisfaction in life.

Behind the command center, Han Ziyin and Li Wenqian were holding hands, their hearts surging.

Almost at the same time, they whispered: "He's handsome."

Then they looked at each other and smiled.

Khalid in the observation room clenched his fists.

cooperate! Must cooperate! We, the Emirates, have abundant space funds and only play high-end games!

Shang Zhi and Ong Nagazeyu from Ryukyu looked at each other and felt lucky.

Ryukyu has chosen the right direction and the right people.

The photographer at the back breathed a sigh of relief and lamented in his heart how much time would be spared to introduce "Nantianmen" during the evening news broadcast.

There are so many pictures today that can be recorded in history, and every frame is worthy of being shown to the people of the whole country.

This is definitely an important page in the history of human spaceflight.

Zhou Rui finally exhaled after seeing the red dot of the camera go out.

Not too nervous, but always on edge.

After all, this is the first time that many new technologies have been launched, so he is very brave. If it is a project of the national team, he must not secretly test it two or three times, and verify it three to five years before he dares to launch it?

But fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Next, it’s time to enjoy the joy of success.

Zhou Rui strode towards the back, one to the left and the other to the right, and picked up the beauties of his family.

"miss you guys!"

It's true that a day without seeing each other is like a hundred days.

Han Ziyin tightened her arms, then endured her nostalgia and broke away, saying gently: "Go and greet the others first. You are the protagonist today, and we are all waiting for you."

Li Wenqian was held on the right side, just facing the small shower head on Zhou Rui's shoulder. She suddenly touched the head of the small shower head and said, "Thank you, you have worked hard too~"

The small showerhead paused for a moment, then a smiling face appeared on the big eyes and made a happy sound effect.

Zhou Rui took a deep breath of the fragrance of gardenia and milk, and then turned his head to face the congratulations from everyone.

Yang Rubin: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou has done another big thing."

Zhou Rui whispered: "We can cooperate later. We have a variety of fine decoration plans for the rough house shown today~"

Yang Rubin's eyes lit up: "Tell me more about it later."

The people in the observation room were anxious and could only get as close as possible to the glass curtain wall to make their presence felt. Zhou Rui waved his hand to signal for peace and quiet.

Needless to say the employees, everyone followed his pace and marched for more than a month. Zhou Rui thanked and encouraged everyone.

When it was Gan Yuan's turn, the little secretary with weak legs felt weak when she moved forward.

He almost knelt down in front of Zhou Rui.

Because she knew there was going to be filming and didn't want to cause any trouble, she didn't bring her crutches.

In the end, she didn't cause any trouble, but she almost made a fool of herself in public. Fortunately, Zhou Rui caught her and lifted her up with strong force.

Why do you need to do this great gift?

But from the side, it looked like Gan Yuan had thrown herself into Zhou Rui's arms.

Zhou Rui immediately turned back to look in the direction of his beauties, only to see Han Ziyin and Li Wenqian still applauding.

Li Wenqian was still happy, while Han Ziyin smiled and raised her delicate eyebrows, giving Zhou Rui a playful look.

"Entry mission [Sea King], experience value +2, current progress (71/100)."

The system prompts that the arrival is late.

Gan Yuan broke away from the boss's arms, straightened her clothes, and said awkwardly: "Congratulations, boss."

Zhou Rui nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. If the injury is not healed, I will make a special trip."

Then a female staff member was found: "Please help Mr. Gan."

Zhou Rui walked from the back to the front. After shaking hands with everyone, he returned to the white space in front of the stage.

I don't know when I had a microphone in my hand.

He said loudly:

"To all the members of Taiyi Gong, as well as the enlightened and intelligent members who participated in the assistance, today's success also belongs to you! Thank you for your efforts during this time!"

"Thank you for believing in me! There will be bonuses and holidays! Celebrate tonight and you won't go home until you're drunk!"

"oh!!!"

The noise returned.

Until the sky.

It seems that it can also be heard on the Nantianmen floating quietly on the track.

————————

At the NASA headquarters, a high-level meeting was taking place. Some people were sitting together and others were connected by phone.

It’s noon in China, it’s night in Washington, and it’s early morning in Europe.

NASA, RFSA (Russia), ESA (Europe), CNES (France), JAXA (Japan).

It can't be said that there are a lot of talents. Basically, except for the first three, they are all that even a rocket can't understand.

But these institutions do represent the aerospace capabilities of most mainstream Western countries.

It is worth mentioning that although Big Goose has had some problems with the West in recent years, cooperation in the aerospace field has been very close. Most of the construction, operation and maintenance, and transportation of the International Space Station were done by Big Goose.

Long before the launch of the spacecraft, these departments had made an appointment to hold a conference call afterwards, but now, everyone is more serious than expected.

If it were not a telephone conference but a video conference, they would find that everyone's expressions were equally ugly.

There are twenty or thirty people who can't make up the feeling of a mother.

NASA Director Nielsen looked at the connection status on the screen. The signal source belonging to a large Eastern country was gray.

"Where is ISRO? Why didn't you come in?"

"It says the signal base station is broken and cannot be connected."

"Can't it be fixed?"

"The electricians are sorting out the wiring."

"Hey, let's get started. Everyone has probably watched the video. Let's talk about your opinions."

RFSA (Russia): "About 15 minutes ago, that is, one hour after their launch, the International Space Station suspected of observing the 'Gate of Heaven', but the orbits of the two parties were not close and it was impossible to observe it at close range."

ESA (Europe): "Actually, it doesn't matter. The live broadcast is detailed enough and is still being played, but the pseudo-metal has never appeared again."

JAXA (Japan): "Could it be nanorobots?"

ESA (Europe): "Obviously not. It's not that tiny. The single body is about 1.5-3cm. It's impossible to determine without a scale."

CNES (France): “The Clean Space Alliance’s official website does not disclose any information. I think this technology is no worse than ‘Heaven’s Gate’.”

The meeting lasted for a long time, mainly focusing on the discussion of various technologies of "Tai Tiangong". Everyone expressed their opinions and really pieced together some useful information.

For example, what is the general structure, design ideas, and mimetic command of "Heaven's Gate"?

Among them, although Heaven's Gate is amazing enough, there is too little known information.

And "mimic command" has more room for imagination, because it will become a "cornerstone" that may lead to a series of aerospace changes.

Let’s put it this way, in the past when launching something into space, basically everyone was estimating and imagining the actual situation based on massive numbers.

Although "computers" can assist in calculations, the judgment is ultimately made by the "human brain". There will be time delays, sensor lags, errors in judgment, etc.

In comparison, the difference between traditional command and mimic command is like the difference between a DOS system and an intelligent system.

Just the basic abilities alone have widened the gap.

Not to mention the "mimic control" and "mimic maintenance" abilities that Zhou Rui later displayed.

The biggest problem in aerospace is control. Who doesn’t know how to throw things into the sky?

It can be said that "mimic command" is far more important than ordinary people perceive. It is like the aerospace field's own "Southern Gate", a "platform" that can carry countless possibilities.

But even though they were so greedy and amazed, at the end of the meeting, under Nelson's suggestion, the participating organizations reached a common agreement.

That is: space agencies of various countries cannot take the initiative to join the "Clean Space Alliance" and must advance and retreat together.

It's hard to say how binding it will be, but on the surface, everyone is of the same mind.

As for the information disclosed within the Clean Space Alliance, Nielsen said:

"They chose the form of on-the-spot observers. Even if there is information disclosure, it will probably be in the form of offline meetings instead of directly sending out the information. But don't worry, we will still get the relevant content, just with a slight delay. When the time comes, Will share it with everyone.”

There is no airtight wall in the world, and he doesn't believe that everyone is tight-lipped.

After several hours of meeting, it was already early morning in Washington. Nelson loosened his tie tiredly.

At this time, it should already be night on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. They should be celebrating like crazy, right?

In the conference room, Hansen, who was actually attending the meeting, said:

"As a reminder, the standards in their invitation list are very poor. I have never even heard of Mongolia having a space agency. Even if these people saw it live and someone even introduced it to them, I have a question mark on how much they can understand. "

Nelson sighed: "I know, but we cannot let mainstream countries participate at this stage. They are too passive towards us."

NASA is the big brother in the world, and because of the Wolfo Act, it cannot have any cooperation there.

If other countries join in, they will feel a bit bleak in their later years. They can't slap themselves in the face and repeal the Wolf Act, right?

Nelson was about to say something when his cell phone rang. He took a quick look and knew what was going on.

A big shot has woken up and is here to ask questions.

"..Sir, yes, we just finished our discussion."

"Don't worry, the space agencies of various countries will respond with the correct attitude. At that time, the media may also need to cooperate."

While chatting, Nelson looked up at Hansen.

"No, because of this, we should fully promote the Eye of Artemis project and let the world see our actions."

"Okay, you'll see the news about our success."

After a long time, Nelson hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and said to Hansen:

"Hansen, I will abide by the agreement I made with you and do my best to ensure that the 'Artemis Eye' plan will not be axed, but you know, I am only the director, not the president. You may have to speed up the progress. I couldn’t bear it before.”

After saying that, without waiting for Hansen to respond, he stood up and said:

"Let's go have breakfast together. I feel like I can eat a cow."

Hansen was silent for a while, and finally said: "Thank you, it's my treat."
