Chapter 388 Those who come out to fool around must keep their word.
In the past few years, people in the "developed countries" have known that in the far east, that country that was once backward, dirty and messy, and whose wealth was exploited to the fullest, has made great breakthroughs in the aerospace field in recent years.
——But as soon as the Ares takes action, it can immediately close the gap or even overtake it.
Yes, this is what most ordinary people really think.
The information cocoon and the deliberate guidance of the media and public opinion have caused too many people to lose their normal ability to think and analyze problems - or in other words, even if they have the ability to think, the wrong information makes the results inevitably wrong.
Therefore, when Ares built its first module factory on the moon, Twitter in the English-speaking world went wild.
Especially driven by several big internet celebrities, #ga was ranked as the top trending search topic.
…
White house.
The owner here is taking a nap with a satisfied smile.
Seeing that the boss was in a good mood, the assistants couldn't bear to disturb him.
After all, in order to take care of the elderly's emotions, they have begun to selectively provide briefings to the elderly.
For example, they did not mention that after being the number one hot search on ga, there is now another Chinese sentence on the hot search.
——#Ah, yes, yes, yes.
This is a Chinese sentence that cannot be understood without understanding the context.
On the surface it means "I agree with you, you are right", but in reality it means "Your point of view is too ridiculous, I am too lazy to argue with you."
Obviously, this is a way for Chinese-speaking netizens to mock Western netizens for their enthusiasm for Ares.
After all... Unless you are a real fool, anyone with a little bit of scientific knowledge will understand that on the moon, the advantages of the Guanghan Base are so great that they are even despairing.
To use a game analogy, others have already acquired the third and fourth mines, and you have just started to produce builders.
How do you play this game?
There were rapid footsteps outside the office.
The assistant hurriedly greeted him and saw a group of people heading towards the office.
He quickly made a gesture of silence.
"Resting."
Director Powers frowned slightly: "There is no time to rest. We have received definite information that they have built a helium 3 fusion power plant on the moon."
"What?" The assistant's voice suddenly rose.
He subconsciously turned around and saw the boss, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opening his eyes.
…
Ten minutes later, the old man supported his chin with his hands and stared at the high-definition photos played on the TV - which were taken when the Ares landed.
"Why are you showing it to me now?"
The old man turned to look at his assistant, then at Director Powers and the chief scientific adviser.
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
In the end, Director Bowles explained: "Because it needs to be analyzed."
"Well, the result of the analysis is that they built a nuclear power plant on the moon?" The old man's eyes were obviously unbelieving. He held the pen and pointed at the picture: "What kind of helium-3 nuclear power plant are you talking about? Have they built it on the earth?"
"……not yet."
"Then why do you say this is a nuclear power plant? Is it possible that it is an ordinary residential module?"
"...President, we have been using satellites for tracking in the past few months. Although it is not very clear due to the angle, we can still see their plan..."
….
Director Bowles enlarged the picture, pointed at it and said: "This part of the dug trench is obviously used to transmit water and electricity."
The old man shook his head: "Of course electricity needs transmission pipelines, but that doesn't prove it's a power plant."
Director Bowles took a deep breath and looked at the chief scientific adviser.
The latter was silent for a few seconds and then said softly: "The president... they... have already sent us a message.
Ask us if we need to purchase the electricity used to sustain production during the polar night."
——Of course they received the news from the Guanghan base, and then they were really sure that it was a fusion power plant. The reason why they did not tell the old man immediately was simply to make the old man mentally prepared through analysis.
But it's obvious that the boss doesn't believe in analysis.
That……
The old man was stunned for a moment.
"And... they also announced their follow-up space plan, which includes building a lunar base integrating scientific research, production, and living with a helium 3 power plant as the core."
"In addition, today they also announced the Mars plan and the plan to explore black holes."
Snap, the pen in the old man's hand fell on the table.
Gradually, his breathing became rapid.
"Why are they so fast?! Why? Who told me?!"
"Why? Bowers, why can't we?"
Everyone was silent at the same time.
They also want to know why - or, in fact, they know why, but they don't want to believe it.
Why? Will the new technological revolution break out in the East?
Strong artificial intelligence, anti-gravity modules, over-distance communication, and now...high-dimensional space membranes.
None of these technologies, which are so powerful that they only exist in science fiction, were born in the West!
On the other hand... they seized the opportunity of the technological explosion and continued to expand rapidly like a snowball.
"no!"
The old man gasped heavily, clenched his hands into fists, and pounded the table: "We can't let them continue like this!"
"Get ready, I'm going to Europe."
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Going to Europe?
Even Europe has expressed its intention to unite and maintain the existing system and order last year. However, with the strong power shown in last year's unscrupulous military operation. In addition, in the past few months, the East has
Sturm und Drang on the moon, and the launch of the space city project...
Let's put it this way, Europe's attitude has quietly changed.
In particular, a new country that has high hopes for joining the EU... still has not made reliable commitments and practical actions.
In the past, Maozi was just dumping resources.
Now, what else can unite them?
…
Jiangcheng, Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Center.
Since Professor Huo Liang went to heaven, the actual work of the Jiangcheng Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Center has been actually handled by Professor Chang Wendao of XJiao Tong.
At this time, Professor Chang was leading a group of people waiting eagerly on the helipad.
There was a roar in the sky, and a moment later, a helicopter landed slowly.
"Academician Ye."
"Academician Chang, hello everyone." Ye Ming greeted the professors who had not seen each other in person for a long time, and walked to the conference room together.
….
Without too many pleasantries, Ye Ming immediately started presiding over the meeting after entering the conference room.
"Have you received the data of the Guanghan Helium 3 Reactor?"
Everyone nodded.
The Controlled Fusion Research Institute is currently the country's highest strategic research center. They are not only responsible for the design of all controllable nuclear fusion reactors, but also responsible for "after-sales" work.
All data and feedback will be summarized and archived here to learn from experience.
Three days ago, that is, the day after the Ares went to space, the Guanghan fusion reactor successfully completed the ignition. At the same time, with the attitude of "friendly communication", the Guanghan base sent a message to NASA.
After all, where such a large power plant stands cannot be seen clearly from the earth. The Ares people are running around on the moon, so sooner or later they will be able to guess what it is.
It would be better to announce it directly and establish the rules first.
"Fusion reactors in the lunar environment provide good conditions for space fusion reactors.
Experience has proven that our space city design is no problem."
Ye Ming paused and then laughed: "We drew such a big space city cake, and the country recognized it. Now it's time to make dough."
Everyone laughed together.
The space city plan is a huge plan. Although the priority of advancement lags behind that of the moon base, the design cannot be delayed.
In fact, at the beginning of the design of Guanghan Base, the design plan of the space city was also in progress simultaneously.
The core of the space city is the helium-3 fusion reactor in space.
Now that the lunar base has experience in a "vacuum" and "microgravity" environment, the design of the space city's core reactor will undoubtedly be much more reliable.
Professor Chang Wendao blinked: "What about the small fusion engine?"
Ye Ming coughed lightly.
"The main focus next is to discuss small fusion engines." He looked at everyone with a smile: "We have already said that we will detect black holes. We are just here to fool around, so we have to keep our word!"
