Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Zhou Rui did not attend the closing ceremony in the afternoon, but went to the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University again.

For him, there was only one last trip left for this summit with frequent accidents, which was the press conference.

Just prepare for it.

After more than ten hours of treatment, the condition of the twelve astronauts has improved significantly. Only one female astronaut from Belgium took a sedative because of excessive mental fluctuations.

This time, Zhou Rui talked to each person individually and asked everyone about their thoughts.

In the ward of the Russian astronaut Makarov, the stationmaster of the International Space Station.

Zhou Rui stood by the other's bed and said:

"Because of the exposure of the 'Black Swan' organization, the outside world has already known most of the truth, such as NASA's blockade and the reasons for the destruction of the International Space Station, and it has been preliminarily confirmed, but if there is a joint statement from the twelve astronauts, it will be more settled."

Makarov swallowed his saliva, not knowing how to answer.

First of all, he has not seen his own people since landing, and his understanding of the situation in the outside world is limited to the retelling of people here.

Secondly, as an ordinary space station commander, he was always a little nervous about standing up to accuse a world hegemony.

Even though Zhou Rui was his savior, he could not readily agree to this matter.

Zhou Rui roughly saw the other party's thoughts and whispered: "Can I help you analyze it?"

Makarov was relieved: "You say, I want to hear your opinion."

Zhou Rui said: "First of all, the nine of you will not be the ones who will face security threats because of this. You will most likely go back to your homes. The three astronauts of the M country are in danger, especially Suni."

Suni's reaction was the most intense. You can say that she is idealistic or that she can't see the situation clearly. In short, she is an "awakened" M countryman.

The other two astronauts with air force backgrounds did not show too much extreme behavior even in their last words and when they were just rescued. They will most likely be brought back under control after returning.

"If you choose to remain silent, then the loudest one will be shut up. If you choose to speak together, then the loudest one will be much safer, because she is not that important. Touching her will cause trouble. Can you understand the logic here?"

Makarov fell into silence. He thought Zhou Rui would talk to him about some righteousness or the truth, but he didn't expect that the starting point would be Suni.

After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, the twelve people did establish a deep friendship, which he couldn't ignore.

Zhou Rui continued: "Of course, Russia's attitude is also very clear. You should also be able to guess what the "black swan" is, including asking you to leave a will, which can also be used as a reference for you."

The beep of the monitor sounded briefly, which meant that Makarov's heart rate rose rapidly. Obviously, the other party was not calm.

After a long time, Makarov said: "Can I meet people from my own country first?"

"Sorry, no, it's not the time yet."

The big goose has its own ideas and may instill something. Zhou Rui doesn't want to make simple things complicated.

This time, the other party was silent for a longer time, until his heart rate returned to normal, which meant that he had made a decision.

"Okay. I agree with your proposal."

Zhou Rui nodded: "It's a wise choice. The other 11 people are the same as you. I will arrange someone to guide you and give you a "joint statement". Don't worry, I won't let you exaggerate or distort the facts."

Because the facts are already outrageous.

Zhou Rui left the ward and explained a few words to the staff at the door. This "joint statement" will be used tonight, so hurry up.

Then he straightened his collar and took a car back to Qianjiang Smart City.

On the evening of September 5, the closing ceremony of the summit was over, leaving only the last press conference.

Most of the leaders have left in a special plane.

Even if countries continue to pay attention to the twelve astronauts, and even want to take them away all the time, there is no need for the leaders to squat here. Naturally, someone will negotiate on their behalf.

Some leaders have also extended their itinerary and will visit other places in the country, but mainly some small countries.

Oh, by the way, the leader of Ryukyu is different. He changed himself, took off the disguise of the state guest, and mixed into the work team of Furui Group.

Wait to report work later.

Night fell.

A press conference without the leader was officially held at 8 o'clock in the evening.

The venue was in the side hall of the main venue. There was a lunch here at noon, and it became a press conference in the afternoon. Due to the emergency, the scale of this press conference was far larger than previous ones. More than 130 media from all over the world participated, and a considerable number of them rushed to Hangzhou today.

Some of them who were far away boarded the plane after the literary evening party last night, and rushed here as soon as they landed an hour ago. There was even one family that was stopped by the traffic police for speeding.

The press conference was divided into two parts, one was the press conference on the results of the summit, and the other was the supplement of special matters.

The former was a regular external announcement of what consensus and results had been reached, and the latter was naturally a briefing on the rescue of the space station.

In the first half of the press conference, the established goals were accomplished in a proper manner, the successful conclusion of the meeting was announced, and a joint statement was issued to the public.

In the second half, all the media were alert, especially the foreign media, who traveled across the oceans not to listen to these stereotyped things.

In the spotlight, Zhou Rui was dressed in a formal suit and walked with a breeze.

Flashlights were not allowed at the press conference, and there was enough lighting in front of the stage, otherwise Zhou Rui would be blinded by his "left eye of insight" and "right eye of discovery" in just a few seconds of entering the venue.

With him, there were also many officials from the conference organizer, the dean and expert group of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University, and representatives from the Space Administration.

By the way, there were also representatives from the Clearing Alliance: Che Gan, who rushed over from Shanghai, also participated in the rescue last night and replaced Zhou Rui at the Wanhu Base.

More than a dozen people sat in a row, and a professional female spokesperson opened the topic with a gentle smile on her face.

"During the meeting yesterday, we received information that the International Space Station was in a major crisis. In the spirit of humanitarianism, we responded to international calls and actively launched rescue operations."

"Yesterday, the rescue was launched at 17:00 Beijing time, and at 20:03, we successfully rescued the twelve astronauts drifting in space."

"Due to the emergency, we could not choose another location, so we landed in Hangzhou, disrupting the original arrangement of the meeting. Therefore, the two events were combined and explained to the outside world here."

Clear and organized, accurate in wording, and elegant in tone.

Professional!

Immediately afterwards, a representative of the Space Administration spoke: "At 10:30 am on September 4, our bureau detected an unidentified BZ outside the orbit. This was the electromagnetic data obtained by the satellite and ground observation station at that time."

The entire press conference seemed to replace everyone in the outside world and make a comprehensive statement for this "International Space Station Destruction Accident".

It can only be said that the situation changes. When I wanted to join, I was kicked out. 20 years later, the final right of interpretation of the last chapter of the life of the International Space Station is in my hands.

Each event node has a clear timeline and data and images to support it. All the "rigorousness" is to make this matter a complete conclusion.

"In addition, after receiving proper treatment, twelve astronauts from various countries issued a "joint statement" to explain their experiences in outer space. The following is the video material."

Compared with the "Black Swan" revelation of only a few recordings, this "joint statement" is much more heavy.

Zhou Rui also spoke, giving photos and comparison results of the main wreckage of the space station, proving that the destruction of the International Space Station was due to the space debris created by the M-side barricade plan, and earlier, Nantianmen also encountered the same crisis.

After that, the team of Zhejiang University Second Hospital explained the treatment issues and the physical condition of the astronauts.

Finally, Che Gan explained the general rescue plan at the time and the reasons for the emergency landing.

The event lasted for more than an hour, and the entire event was completely restored, with solid evidence and clear context.

When the reporter heard from Zhou Rui that "the destruction of the International Space Station was due to the M-side barricade plan", the shock was far stronger than those recordings last night.

But there is still the possibility of quibbling, because what the astronauts said may not be the truth.

Until Zhou Rui produced the most decisive evidence.

In fact, when Zhou Rui learned from Su Ni last night that the space station was destroyed because of the "barricade plan", he dispatched Nantianmen again.

Directly approached the main wreckage of the International Space Station.

Dozens of mortise and tenon robots, like dozens of mechanical octopuses, directly entered the wreckage and checked it inch by inch.

Compared with precious things like the Xingtian fighter, the mortise and tenon robots are much more rough and thick, and it doesn't matter if they are scratched, and they have mechanical arms for fine operations.

Then this morning, some fragments were sent back to Wanhu Base by the "return capsule" equipped by Nantianmen, and brought over by the driver.

At the press conference, Zhou Rui held up a piece of debris loaded in an acrylic box.

"This is the fragment of the weapon used in the project. According to the serial number analysis, its name is 'KE-S2', an old co-orbital satellite bomb. We have found up to 23 fragments."

No one could have imagined that Taiyi Tiangong could bring this thing directly back to Earth.

It can only be said that the absolute leading technology has created the absolute initiative of the right to interpret. In the past, many things that happened in space could not be understood, but now it is different.

The reason why Zhou Rui spent so much effort is to make this matter remembered for 10, 20, and 50 years.

It is best to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

As a turning point in the transfer of the halo of "technological hegemony", this matter must impress people all over the world and make it impossible for anyone to reverse the verdict and quibble.

In the end, even the "International Space Station Director" Makarov himself appeared at the press conference, and was pushed up in a wheelchair.

This was his own request, and he also figured it out. If he wants to do it, he will do it absolutely. Once the old Russian's bullishness comes up, he will not look back.

Russia has the same attitude anyway. When the time comes, he will just go back home to raise bears. What can the Americans do?

So far, the press conference has completely killed the competition.

At the same time, on a special plane over the Pacific Ocean.

After returning home, Omar, who will basically go through the resignation process, is crossing his legs and watching the live broadcast of the Hangzhou press conference.

Obviously, this plane will not be without network signal, otherwise it will underestimate the "Flying Army No. 1"

Looking at the young man holding a transparent box in the picture, for some reason, this picture made Omar feel dazed.

It reminded him of many years ago, when a good friend held up a tube of "washing powder" in front of countless cameras.

But the friend's holding was fake at that time. This one, I'm afraid, is real.

Just like the gap in strength back then, people "cannot question" the washing powder, now, because of the gap in technology, they can't question the box either.

But it doesn't matter.

This incident did have a huge impact, but his reputation was damaged at most. After all, it happened during his term of office, but it can't be said to be a self-inflicted disaster.

Because as early as a few months ago, he entered a low-key state because his term of office was about to end. He avoided expressing his views on many things and only expressed his opinions to the minimum.

Speak less, do less, and take less responsibility.

What is the plan of barricades? He really doesn't know much about it, and he can't take the blame for it.

Of course, it is more likely that no specific person will take the blame, and small shrimps don't count.

Instead, the whole of M Lijian will bear the consequences of losing "technological hegemony".

This is the advantage of being in a high position. If you do it right, the glory belongs to you, and if you do it wrong, the cost will be shared by all the people.

However, his personal trip has achieved his own purpose. From the beginning, his main target for this summit was Zhou Rui.

He will step down in one month. Why should he care about the national affairs? Especially when the next person is a blond fat man from the hostile faction

There is even a little surprise. The attitude of the young man is better than expected.

Maybe after leaving office, he can accomplish many things just by relying on the energy extended by the "life extension quota".

People still have to live for themselves

Omar turned off the tablet in his hand and looked at the sunset outside the window

It feels that the sun sets particularly fast today.

The sight returns to the press conference.

Although Zhou Rui is only a member of the participants, when it comes to the question-and-answer session, almost everyone asks him.

Zhou Rui patiently answered every question. He could actually ask someone to do it for him, but as the saying goes, in order to completely make a solid case, it is better to say it in person, after all, there is a bonus for the entry.

The whole press conference can also be said to be full of sincerity. As long as it is related to the incident and non-repetitive questions, they will be patiently answered.

Finally, as it was approaching eleven o'clock, this heavyweight press conference gradually came to an end.

I believe that after tonight, media from all over the world will have new materials to broadcast.

The level of detail and rich information provided by the press conference are enough to make a documentary or a series of special programs.

The female spokesperson looked at the watch and said, "It's getting late. If everyone has no more questions, we will end here."

Zhou Rui stood up, sorted out the scattered papers in front of him, and prepared to leave with others.

However, just after taking two steps, a reporter below suddenly shouted: "Master Zhou, say something to your supporters before leaving! Face the camera!"

Many reporters smiled. This obviously grasped the traffic code. Every shot of Zhou Rui represents the ratings.

This is definitely not in the press conference plan, but it is harmless.

The "colleague" who was holding the press conference smiled and made way for Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui hesitated a little and walked back.

He didn't sit down again, but just picked up the microphone.

He smiled and said, "What do you want me to say? Is there anyone having a birthday? I can say a blessing."

There was more lively laughter from below.

The man continued to shout, "Can you tell me, do you have any new technologies that will shock the world to announce? For example, what has Nantianmen become now?"

Zhou Rui spread his hands and said, "This is a secret, I can't tell you."

"If I have to say something, I still thank so many people around the world @me. It is you who helped me find the twelve astronauts. Thank you again for your efforts."

After saying the last sentence, Zhou Rui turned around and left for the second time.

But after taking two steps, Zhou Rui always felt that something was missing.

How could this night that witnessed the establishment of "technological hegemony" end like this? I always felt that it was almost a real climax.

"By the way, what did you just say?"

"What has Nantianmen become?"

"The previous sentence."

"Do you have any new technologies that will shock the world to announce?"

"There is a brain wave magnetic field technology that can write memories into the brain."

As soon as these words came out, the venue became quiet.

"I call it a learning machine."

The big event is finally finished, from the foreshadowing, to the development, to the climax, to the subsequent impact.

I was so nervous, I reviewed it three times (including this chapter), and sent it to private messages twice.

I was so scared.

Good news: I will be back in Shanghai for the next chapter, and I will arrange a chance encounter.

Bad news: The next chapter will be the day after tomorrow.

I will give you a notice that I will take a day off tomorrow (28), and I will take a day off at the end of the month as usual.
