Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

After parting with the "Successor Alliance", Zhou Rui specially found someone to properly store the six sealed volumes of "Yongle Encyclopedia" and temporarily sent them to the local bank safe.

Then he went to the conference hall to go through the formalities, which was considered to be attending the event.

When he went in, the Indian Space Agency was talking at the door, talking about the grand plan of India's manned space flight in 2020.

However, our friends who understand know that this kind of thing~ the farther the plan is, the louder the speech is, and the closer the plan is, the more subtle the voice is.

For example, the Russian bear once claimed to have a manned moon landing in 2018, the European Space Agency claimed to have a manned moon landing in 2024, the United States claimed to have a manned Mars landing in 2025, and Japan claimed to have established a lunar base in 2030.

In comparison, India only claimed to have a manned space flight in 2020, which is already very low-key.

This is still a revision. Ten years ago, India claimed to have a manned space flight two years ago.

Insiders know that it’s okay to listen to the noise, unless the speaker is Chinese.

In the afternoon, Zhou Rui left the hotel early and entered the "Xichang Rocket Launch Base". He was different from these people. These people came to watch the performance, while he was the one who participated in the "showmanship".

Tomorrow at noon, the "Qian Xuesen Platform" will be launched around 12 o'clock, and Yangma will broadcast it live at that time. Also, because so many observation groups from various countries have come, this process will also spread to more places in the world, and there is no room for mistakes.

Otherwise, it will be unfair to borrow the name of Qian.

————————

Launch day.

More than a hundred members of the observation group from various countries took a bus and arrived at the viewing platform on the southeast side of the Xichang Rocket Launch Base.

If there were only a few or even a dozen people, perhaps they could follow the way of the Wanhu Base at the beginning and open an observation room outside the command center, but hundreds of people obviously could not accommodate it, so the Space Administration prepared it in advance. This platform was originally prepared for tourists.

It has an excellent location in itself, with a panoramic view of the launch tower a few kilometers away. A large screen and several small screens were set up indoors. The large screen will broadcast Yangma's live broadcast, and the small screens are some special camera positions.

Drinks and snacks were also prepared on site, and they arrived more than an hour in advance.

The launch site was not open to the public, but the attention of television and the Internet was not low. After more than a year of cultivation, various media have become accustomed to paying attention to and reporting on aerospace-related content, and the social participation is much higher than in the past.

Khalid held a cup of black tea, shook and looked at the huge launch silo, and couldn't help but sighed: "Industry is really great. Can you imagine that in a few years, there will be a rocket belonging to me, sending the Kaaba into space?"

Little Samman smiled and emphasized: "It's our rocket."

At this time, there was a noise from the big screen behind, as if the picture was finally connected.

"GOD, is this the command room?"

"It's so beautiful"

On the other side, the entire Xichang base has entered a state of preparation for war.

After three days of vertical assembly, the "Long March 5-Return" has become a complete body, standing in the launch tower.

But the highlight of today is not here, but in the command room of the Xichang base.

This place Zhou Rui is very familiar with has undergone earth-shaking changes. The original layout of the lecture hall has become a circular structure that radiates outwards around the center.

The lowest point in the center is a circular platform with a hollow cylindrical structure on top.

Higher up, there are four screens that face different directions and tilt downward.

Even the clothes of the staff are different. They have abandoned the traditional uniform white coats and changed into azure work clothes, which look energetic and youthful.

This is the first "mimetic command center" that the space agency has completed the transformation.

Today is also the first public appearance.

These pictures also appeared on the TV at the same time, and some people exclaimed.

Sure enough, all crows are black!

And you still say it's not a studio? !

And it's also a live broadcast! It's complete!

In the new, technologically-sense command room, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Zhou Rui sat in the center of the circle, and next to him was Sun Jiadong, who was also visiting. Master Zhou did not have any fixed position here, but he needed to control the overall situation. No one here knew more about mimicry command, rockets, and mechanical platforms than him.

Under special circumstances, he could directly call a halt or issue an order.

The commander was a woman in her 30s. This position was generally occupied by men, because men's voices were more discerning, and women's voices were prone to high frequencies in emergencies, so she had to be exceptionally good to be here.

"Start, mimicry command system!"

The next moment, in the center of the command room, there was a slight "creaking" sound of hard objects squeezing in the cylindrical structure.

Then, countless intelligent units emerged, and the metallic "ice touch" gradually spread and fell on the circular platform, immediately forming a thick plane.

After a short silence, it moved on its own and gathered into a shape of more than two meters high, the No. 3 launch tower. Even the surrounding lightning towers, trees, and roads were simulated.

Because of the change in layout, everyone was closer to the "mimicry command" and could see more clearly.

"Telemetry data is normal."

"Fuel filling is normal."

"30 minutes before launch, start the tower departure procedure"

As the instructions were issued, Zhou Ruize chatted with Mr. Sun beside him.

They were not nervous at all.

Mr. Sun laughed loudly: "What a beautiful technology, with a scientific aesthetic."

Zhou Rui: "My Kaute base in Ryukyu also uses this circular command hall design."

Mr. Sun was a little confused, and after thinking for a while he said: "Kashou Base? It seems to be the name of a US Air Force base?"

Zhou Rui grinned his white teeth and said, "Yes, that's it. It's mine now."

Mr. Sun was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed even more heartily.

The preparations before the launch went smoothly. After all, the same model of "Jingtian-1" has been launched more than ten times. The command team of the Xichang base only needs to adapt to the new working environment.

At 12:18, the Rockets completed their departure from the tower.

At 12:36, all data were normal and fuel filling was completed.

At 12:37, the pendulum swings open and the rocket ignites.

The huge Fat Five, with an indomitable momentum, soared into the sky in the explosive white water vapor mass.

On the viewing platform, there were hundreds of people, some wearing sunglasses, some putting up awnings with their hands, feeling the pressure that shook the entire atmosphere.

The launch of "Chang Wu Chao" was magnificent and smooth, and there were no accidents in the whole process. I wonder if any of these international experts would feel it is a pity.

After the rocket was out of sight, everyone was focused on watching the big screen. The mimic commander was still faithfully giving feedback on the rocket's situation, including multi-stage separation, attitude adjustment, and fairing separation. The entire scene was intuitively visible.

Even after the load enters the orbit, it slowly unfolds and the complex mechanical structure reorganizes itself, which is also lifelike.

With just this move, global aerospace has been left behind for who knows how many years.

Experts from various countries remained silent.

they were shocked

Zhou Rui's speech the night before yesterday came to mind.

Conquering the universe is humanity's destiny.

Then which civilization will this fateful blessing fall on?

Who will it fall on?

——————

The earth's low-Earth orbit has been particularly lively this year.

Basically every half a month, someone will add bricks and tiles to the track.

The Nantianmen Platform, which has become increasingly majestic and majestic, is no longer in this world for the time being, but the "orbital family" has also welcomed new members.

A huge black cube was sent to orbit.

It slowly unfolded its body and turned into several "mortise and tenon" track units and "brick" track connectors, and then immediately began to reorganize.

Under the mechanical intelligence, these devices are very mature and install themselves.

About fifteen minutes later, the "Qian Xuesen Orbital Scientific Research Platform" was officially unveiled.

But it is different from its predecessors. According to the images fed back by the mimic command and camera, the "Qian Xuesen Platform" is no longer a pure plane, but an upper and lower double-layer structure, which looks like a thick Flat rectangular shape, similar to a "book".

The Book of Mechanics.

This design is due to scientific research needs. Some sensors cannot drift with the tide and be exposed to the sun over and over again. There are also some equipment that require electromagnetic protection.

In general, this "book-type" design allows Qian Xuesen's platform to have three different hierarchical areas: "upper, middle and lower".

In addition, the "Qian Xuesen Platform" is different from the black Nantianmen. Its upper surface is black solar energy, but its bottom is painted in white, highlighting civilian use, openness and cooperation.

In the future, this thick "mechanical book" will gradually expand and eventually become a behemoth like Nantianmen.

By the way, since it is a scientific research platform, it naturally has to carry scientific research payloads, and even if it is the first time, it must be demonstrated.

After all structural adjustments are completed and all data feedback is normal.

In the middle of Qian Xuesen's platform, an area the size of a "tile" suddenly dropped down, and a moment later, a three-dimensional glass cover rose up.

It was a space ecological box made of special materials that could protect against some electromagnetic waves.

It contains soil and water rich in organic matter, creating a microcirculation.

There is also half a large Northeastern potato that has been cut open.

Absolutely carefully selected.

Since we are going to conduct scientific research in space, let’s give priority to solving the issues that people across the country are most concerned about.

Try to see if you can farm.
