Chapter 427 Theres still half a year left, just waiting
She was really shocked when she heard Yukata Kobayashi say that he had changed his nationality.
You know, it’s hard not to talk about naturalization here, and as a foreigner who has been here all year round, she knows that this country is actually very tolerant of foreigners, especially Asian faces, as long as you can speak the local language and understand a little bit
Some of the culture, history, customs, etc. here, then no one will treat you as an outsider.
Linda has a deep understanding of this. She has been thought of as a girl from the southern provinces more than once. In the past, she would explain that she was from Singapore, but now she does not explain it. She can only hum and say that she is from Taiwan.
Her ancestral home is indeed from somewhere. Of course, she did not lie. Her surname was Lin.
Therefore, she really didn't expect to change her nationality...
Yukata Kobayashi saw that Linda was puzzled, and he didn't explain it - how could he explain it? He explained that he had a family here, and his wife felt that the country's development and future were obviously very good, and naturalization would definitely become more and more popular in the future.
Difficult. Secondly, the country is promoting welfare benefits. Now I can get on the train, just in time. Thirdly, the country is about to launch space travel, and currently only its own citizens are allowed to apply.
As a technology enthusiast who is crazy about space, Kobayashi Yukata accepted his wife's suggestion after careful consideration.
After all, there is nothing to be ashamed of when people go to higher places.
My home country has been struggling in the past few years, and now the entire society is visibly divided. Some conservatives believe that the original structure should be maintained, while some young people have begun to protest, demanding the expulsion of US bases and full entry into the country.
Asia's new order.
Yukata Kobayashi used to be very concerned about this, but now...he only cares about the progress of the domestic space program.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two soon talked about the topic of the interview. During the exchange, Linda learned that Yukata Kobayashi currently works for the provincial TV station and is basically a reporter stationed in the Aerospace City.
Soon, with the greetings from the staff, the press conference officially began.
The two people sat together in perfect harmony.
"It depends on who is hosting the press conference. If it is Mr. Ye, it means that he can break the news." Kobayashi Yukata said without moving his lips.
Linda hummed softly.
As an old reporter, she certainly knows some of the "hidden rules" of domestic aerospace department press conferences.
Basically, Professor Ye Ming, the chief scientist of the national aerospace department, is considered an ace, and what he publishes is only some untruthful information. And he also likes to tell everything he knows. As long as you dare to ask, he will answer whatever he can.
.
In addition, there is Director Zhang. Compared with Professor Ye Ming, Director Zhang is a lot more bureaucratic, but the news he announces is also big news. He just does some Tai Chi when answering questions.
As for regular speakers... basically just listen.
Amid the soft exchanges among the reporters, Ye Ming was the first to walk out from the backstage.
Seeing him appear, all the reporters smiled knowingly at the same time, and then burst into applause.
…
"Thank you all for the applause."
Ye Ming sat in the center of the rostrum. He smiled and looked at the media and reporters in the room. Among them, he saw many old acquaintances.
"I would also like to thank everyone for participating in this year's Space Day press conference. As you can see, in this year's press conference, I will make a simple work report on behalf of my country's China Aerospace Industry Group."
"Well, without further ado, let's get down to business."
"In the past year, we successfully completed the first phase of construction of the Guanghan base."
Following Ye Ming's voice, an AR reality-enhanced 3D scene appeared in the open space between the rostrum and the first row of reporters.
People with sharp eyes immediately recognized that the scene was the moon.
As the scene changed, the latest 3D picture of Guanghan Base soon appeared.
"This is the current specific situation of the Guanghan base. We can see that it has formed a large-scale base with a helium-3 fusion power plant as the core, integrating residence, scientific research, and industrial production."
As Ye Ming spoke, he also looked at the AR modeling in front of him. At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to the expressions of other people - there is no social network control on Guanghan Base, and the astronauts working and living there
The non-confidential parts of the base have long been exposed.
Hmm... Just a joke, there are actually some people in the United States who think this is fake - and most of these people think the earth is flat.
But this is the first time that all buildings have been restored so comprehensively and presented using 3D modeling.
All reporters were shocked by this huge base, and the sound of Kacha was endless.
"In addition to the Guanghan base, we have also launched an unknown celestial body detection plan in the past year. Currently, Xunxing 1-7 is flying towards the unknown celestial body."
As Ye Ming finished speaking, the 3D projection picture in front changed again, turning into a picture of six spaceships flying in a formation with hexagonal vertices guarding the center point.
"Just yesterday, Starfinder completed the acceleration phase and will perform a deceleration mission in three months. It will eventually arrive at the unknown celestial body by the end of this year and carry out the next detection mission."
Since it is a public press conference for the whole world and the whole society, Ye Ming is very strict in his wording. He does not say it is a black hole at all, but uses unknown celestial bodies to describe it - because up to now, there is still no understanding of it.
The precise definition and model of black holes are actually a bit confusing.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ming introduced the saucer-shaped transport ship plan. This can actually be regarded as official recognition, or refutation of rumors - such a large saucer-shaped spacecraft is definitely impossible to hide, and there are already good people,
In other words, conspiracy theorists have begun to associate domestic technological development with aliens.
You see, the flying saucer is the evidence!
Hearing this, Ye Ming was naturally unhappy.
It was obviously needed by the State Nuclear Corporation, and after all his hard work, it was designed and built by the shipyard day and night. Who cares about aliens?
"I can guarantee that this saucer-shaped transport ship has nothing to do with aliens."
Ye Ming looked at the flying saucer in the 3D screen: "This is a large transport ship. It makes clever use of the anti-gravity field and can easily load and unload large cargo with sight. So, please help me dispel this rumor."
As he spoke, Ye Ming paused and grinned: "Don't think about how powerful alien technology is all day long. The universe is relative. If there really is an alien civilization, we are also aliens in their eyes. Our technology
, also alien technology.”
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and then there was applause.
Ye Ming smiled and picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Then he glanced at the manuscript paper.
"Next, I will mainly introduce our main work and tasks this year."
"First of all, we will launch the first phase of the space city plan in half a month, which is the space observatory plan."
Following Ye Ming's voice, the AR screen in front also changed again.
…
Linda stared intently at the huge "round barrel" floating quietly in the air.
That's right... in her eyes, the complete appearance of this space city is indeed a rolling barrel.
It still has a controllable nuclear fusion engine stack as the core, and then extends it into a circle, and expands like building blocks through continuous building blocks, and finally turns into a barrel.
Watching it floating quietly in space, Linda felt a little enlightened.
This kind of project that only existed in science fiction works in the past... has actually been included in the plan, and is really going to be built step by step!
——If it were another country and someone else making the announcement, she would definitely think that it was just a lie.
Install the latest version.]
Just like...the one who wants to land on Mars and immigrate to Mars.
Hmm...it seems like that person doesn't talk much about immigrating to Mars anymore.
Think about it, whether you immigrate to Mars, immigrate to the moon, or live in a space city, you are essentially "escaping from the earth", which is nothing more than distance. In the past, it could be said that it was technically difficult, but now, in space,
After the spacecraft has been operating stably and without accidents for four years, what are the technical difficulties?
But, from Ye Ming's mouth, from this country...
Linda felt that this was not a picture, but a work schedule for everyone.
In the past six years, of all the Space Day press conferences she has attended, the news she has received, and the domestic plans she has received, none of them have been completed - only completed ahead of schedule, never postponed.
Ye Ming's voice sounded again: "Of course, this is the complete plan of the space city plan, and we plan to spend ten years to complete it."
"And in order to accomplish it, we need to establish a convenient industrial base in space, on the moon."
"A fact we all recognize is that when we enter the space age, the earth's resources will become more precious." Ye Ming said and laughed, and he looked meaningfully at the man from Australia sitting in the corner.
Reporter: "Therefore, some countries on the planet that are rich in various resources such as iron ore are currently selling at low prices... This behavior is actually unwise."
All the reporters here are smart people. How could anyone not understand what Ye Ming meant? Just follow his gaze and everyone will laugh knowingly.
Australian mines are of really high quality.
However, because it has always followed the footsteps of the United States, there were many restrictions on this side, so this side angrily began to look for replacements all over the world.
Nowadays, the iron ore mines in Southeast Asia have been secured, the mining plants in Africa have also been steadily secured, and even the moon... has begun to be mined.
Australia is a little anxious.
It is a resource country, but its resources have been abandoned by the world's most powerful industrial country. How can it live well?
The Australian reporter suddenly blushed and pretended not to understand what Ye Ming said.
Fortunately, Ye Ming did not say much, but continued: "We believe that all resources on the earth, whether water, soil, oil, gas, or minerals, will be our inheritance and savings for future generations - we
We must also leave these to them so that they can cope with the future.”
"For this reason, we will also launch asteroid belt exploration this year and increase the use of space resources."
Ye Ming's introduction took half an hour, and the host began to take over the topic: "Now we will enter the question and answer session."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hands like a forest of hands.
Ye Ming took a sip of water and looked at the group of old acquaintances in the audience.
Finally, his eyes rested on Linda's face, which he had not seen for several years.
"Friends of Lianhe Zaobao."
…
Linda took two very short breaths, clenched her fists and released them before standing up.
She really didn't expect that she would be the first to be named, so she wasn't fully prepared for the question.
But... now that it's all started, and the person who answered is Ye Ming - Ye Ming is famous for knowing everything and talking about it, it means that she has enough time to think on the spot.
"Hello Academician Ye, you just mentioned that the black hole detection plan will be one of the important work projects this year, but we also know that in the past few months, there have been calls from the international community, including the scientific community and the aerospace community.
We believe that the black hole detection plan is a dangerous act."
Ye Ming looked at her with a smile, nodded slowly, and motioned for her to continue.
"So, my question is, what do you think of these objections? And how confident are you about the results of black hole detection? And, can you tell us what we are most likely to encounter after the black hole?
Thanks."
As Linda finished asking the question in one breath, all the reporters' eyes also stayed on Ye Ming's face.
It has to be said that a gold medal reporter is a gold medal reporter, and he immediately asked the question to everyone's heart.
Every reporter who came today is not a layman - every reporter who applies to attend the press conference will submit information and then pass the review before they can come here.
In the past, the media still had the same old idea, thinking that just sending a reporter would be enough. But as the number of rejections increased, the media learned the ropes and knew how to send some professionals who at least had some knowledge.
Reporters come over.
Otherwise...you, a layman in the field of aerospace, wouldn't coming here be like listening to heavenly scriptures?
Therefore, everyone is very clear that today’s press conference did not mention anything about the space factory, the space city, the asteroid belt detection, the Guanghan base...
But essentially, they are all spinning in the solar system, and in recent days, they are spinning in low-Earth orbit.
The real sea of stars still depends on whether wormholes can be verified and whether they can span space!
Therefore, black hole detection is a top priority.
And what's behind the black hole...
Frankly speaking, in the past year, especially in the past few months after the launch of black hole detection, people have made a lot of speculations about what is behind the black hole.
Apart from those meaningless conjectures that "nothing will happen if you drill a black hole", the biggest conjecture is what kind of world mankind is about to face.
Will that world be full of malice, will it be dangerous, will it... cause a crisis for mankind?
——If you say no, then why do you need six spaceships to build a defensive membrane?
But all guesses are more accurate and important than Ye Ming's own words.
"There's still half a year left, just wait."
Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds, then smiled softly.
