The next day, Ye Ming arrived at the venue on time.
The meeting was held in a huge living room. In order to show equality, a round table meeting was held. And because there were a large number of participants, the round table was really... big and round.
…
Although it is a round table, it still has a center, with Ye Ming and Qin Weiguo sitting on both sides.
"Now let's ask our academician Ye Ming to give a detailed introduction to our space mission."
applause.
Ye Ming stood up with a smile, bowed slightly to everyone, sat down again, and moved the microphone slightly in front of him.
He saw that at least one-third of those present had taken off their earphones - which meant that they did not need simultaneous interpretation to understand Chinese.
Well, that's a good thing.
"Hello everyone, before the meeting, please take a look at the three-dimensional image in front of your seat."
As his voice fell, a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of each conference table at the same time, just like in a science fiction movie. In fact, this is just a simple application of AR technology. It is used to make three-dimensional displays at meetings. It is better than looking at PPT.
, it is much more convenient to have a notebook in front of everyone, and it can also avoid a lot of unnecessary "distractions."
"This is a star map of the solar system."
"We can see that there is an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. In the past hundreds of millions of years, we once thought that because of Jupiter's gravity, many asteroids detached from their orbits and came to our earth...
…Some of these asteroids caused mass extinctions, some changed the climate, and some turned into meteors…”
"But now, according to the latest model, the astronomical community believes that it may not only be Jupiter. There is also the unknown object numbered YE-5D."
Hearing Ye Ming say YE-5D, a few people present laughed - they knew that this used to be Ye Ming's account on GitHub.
Using this account name as the name of an unknown person is also a way to commend his contribution.
"Now, the academic community has a high probability that this is a new type of black hole that cannot be explained by the current standard black hole model, and according to its orbit prediction, it will approach the asteroid belt in the next fifty years."
Following Ye Ming's voice, the picture began to change, and a visualized black hole slowly approached the asteroid belt.
"We can see that as it approaches the asteroid belt, the orbits of countless asteroids will be disturbed and then accelerated out of orbit through gravitational slingshots."
"Although Jupiter, with its strong gravity and role as the scavenger of the solar system, can handle most of the dangers for us, leaving the fate of the earth to Jupiter... I think most of us will not accept it, right?"
"To this end, next month, our space agency will carry out a capture and orbit plan for an asteroid with a diameter of about 20 meters and numbered YY13019."
"As you can see, the asteroid is currently located between the moon and Mars. In one month, it will reach the orbit closest to the moon."
As the screen rotates, the position of the asteroid is clearly marked.
"Our plan is to use rockets to launch boosters and probes to reach the asteroid, merge it into orbit, and then slowly capture it. The plan is as follows."
In the picture, a rocket lifts off from the ground, then flies into space, and then merges and docks with the asteroid.
Everyone looked at the plan and began to discuss it in low voices.
Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Although the plan is implemented by us, how can I put it... This plan, in fact, the most complete and labor-saving plan should be to establish a real space rocket interception base on the moon."
"As I said before, we cannot leave the fate of the earth to Jupiter. Similarly, we cannot leave the destiny of the earth to Mars, the moon... and to gravity."
"And this base requires the cooperation of all of us."
As Ye Ming's voice fell, everyone in the audience laughed with different expressions at the same time.
Everyone represents the aerospace department of their respective countries - even if they don't have any aerospace foundation, now that the aerospace era has begun, they have all been established one after another.
After all, God still has to go up.
You don’t even have a space agency, how can you cooperate with China, a superpower in aerospace?
But everyone also knows that this kind of joint establishment of a lunar rocket base and defense center... to put it bluntly, it is still cn's great effort.
Inviting them over is nothing more than asking everyone to spend some money, then applaud, and gain everyone's unanimous support.
It doesn't matter if you support it, everyone supports it.
But paying...this has to be discussed.
At the very least, we need to make up for it elsewhere, right?
At this time, the ASEAN representative noticed his words and immediately raised his hand with a smile.
Ye Ming made a gesture of invitation.
"Excuse me, Academician Ye, will this lunar rocket defense base have an offensive nature? Well, to be precise, will it carry a nuclear warhead and launch it in space?"
Ye Ming looked at each other and Qin Weiguo, who then moved the microphone and took the question with a smile.
"Yes. After all, when faced with space threats, you can never be too cautious."
"Indeed." The ASEAN representative, who is from Pocheng, nodded after hearing this: "We also believe that space security is more important than anything else."
At this time, a voice with a thick tongue sounded.
"Have you ever considered facing alien civilization?"
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at where the sound came from.
Oh, the person next to Chikanov should be the head of Maozi’s Space Force.
However, the strategic authority of the head of the Space Force is estimated to be ten times lower than that of Qin Weiguo.
What? Did he think of alien civilization?
Seeing everyone looking at him, and some people even putting on their headphones again, Andrew laughed: "I think forming an international space force is the most perfect choice."
As soon as his voice fell, another voice with the smell of curry sounded.
"agree."
Ye Ming was startled. He tilted his head subconsciously, and the leader was also stunned for a moment.
But then, a smile appeared on the leader's face without leaving any trace.
