The improved new nuclear spacecraft has been assembled at Base
Does this extremely rare phenomenon mean that there may be a crisis for the solar system and mankind? Therefore, the second manned flight will use the "cloud bodies" near the orbit of Mercury as the main target to conduct close-range detection to understand and grasp their composition.
Structure, mass, power and magnetic field and other relevant data. However, in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion from the society, when publicly disclosing the plan to the media, it was only stated that this mission will conduct in-depth exploration of the rock composition, magnetic field and gravity field on the surface of Mercury.
, without mentioning "cloud body".
The new spacecraft that carried out the second manned mission was named "Kunlun"; this Mercury orbit detection mission was code-named "Project 2".
Mercury is at an average distance of about 100 million kilometers from the earth. It is the smallest planet in the solar system and the closest planet to the sun. Although with the development of human space technology, dozens of probes have been launched to the outer solar system.
In the exploration of the inner solar system, only Mars and Venus have been visited many times by humans, while Mercury, the innermost planet, has rarely been visited. This is because Mercury is only 58 million kilometers away from the sun on average and has no atmosphere, so in the sun
Under constant baking, the temperature on the sunny side can reach up to 430°C, but the temperature on the back side can drop to minus 160°C. The temperature difference between day and night is nearly 600°C. The environment is extremely harsh, and the detector has to face frequent tests of high temperature and extreme cold;
Furthermore, because it is too close to the sun, the detector needs to resist the strong gravity of the sun to avoid falling into the sun. However, since humans entered the era of intelligent civilization, they seem to be more interested in whether there are unknown life forms on other planets in the solar system.
In terms of exploration, it is inevitable that people will selectively ignore planets like Mercury, which are almost impossible to have conditions for life to exist.
From the 1970s to the present, only three probes from the United States and Europe have flown to or orbited Mercury. This is the greatest courtesy that earth scientists have given it. And the plan to launch a manned spacecraft to it,
I had never imagined it, nor dared to imagine it. Therefore, when CNSA officially decided and announced to the world that it would dispatch the "Kunlun" manned spacecraft to carry out the Mercury exploration mission, the response from public opinion was not strong. Some Western media even thought that this was China's
We are showing off and flaunting our controllable nuclear fusion thruster technology to the world, hoping to pave the way for international market promotion in this field.
However, within the United Nations International Disaster Reduction Agency, the International Asteroid Early Warning Organization and the "N-601" organization, this operation has been upgraded to the level of the "Global Joint Space Defense Plan" and has been reported to relevant Chinese departments represented by CNSA.
Expressing the highest respect. In addition, two internationally renowned astronauts - Vera from Russia's RKA and Sean from NASA in the United States - were also dispatched to participate in the mission team. Ms. Catherine Chen, Special Commissioner of UNISDR, also
I once again went to X Base in person to attend the "Project No. 2" project briefing meeting held by CNSA.
As a specially invited representative, Gao Tianjun once again came to the large conference room on the third floor of the
The "emergency consultation meeting" involved in the incident. That meeting was the beginning of everything, and today's meeting is still a beginning, but a new beginning!
Guests attending the meeting gathered from CNSA, CSDA, NASA, ESA, RKA, IAWG, UNESCO, China's Guizhou Sky Eye "FAST", Australia's Synthetic Aperture Telescope "ASKAP" and other institutions, as well as members of "N-601"
Experts and scholars from the unit. The meeting was not open to the media.
Martin also appeared at the meeting. He came to China again as a United Nations special observer and has worked in places such as BJ, Nanbin and
There have always been criticisms. Li Zhanxiong's explanation was that it was a military restricted area, and all those entering needed to obtain special permission from the military. Even the "601" headquarters personnel could not make all arrangements. Li Zhanxiong could only promise him,
Whether in Nanbin or at Base X, he can be guaranteed to share information from Eisen as soon as possible. Therefore, Martin was also invited to this briefing meeting.
Martin is a pure scholar who has obtained doctorates in astrophysics and archeology. Although he often appears careless, he actually has a strong sense of responsibility at work. When he first worked at "601",
He has felt the shock from the unknown world in his heart, and has determined that this will be the main direction of his future research. However, due to the Chinese military background of "601", he cannot contact and study Ai as he wishes.
Especially shortly after Jacob kidnapped Aisen and escaped from "601", Gao Tianjun informed him and Easton to finish their work in Nanbin and return home, which made him even more frustrated and angry. However, as a professional with professional ethics,
He never made any public comment on this, but remained silent and waited for the opportunity. After he learned that Kwalski had mastered the traces of Lawrence, he immediately found him and paid a reward to ask Kwalski to
After Wolski captured Lawrence and handed it over to him in secret - he had worked closely with the CIA agent when tracking Mayan artifacts in Central America in his early years - Martin planned to establish his own research institution in Miami and conduct research through Lawrence.
Immortal people and parallel space issues, so that he can have the opportunity to realize his wishes that he could not realize while working in "601". However, Kwalski did not succeed, and Lawrence actually followed Katz's footsteps and went to China, to "601"...

When Gao Tianjun and Martin's eyes met, he saw a hint of displeasure in the latter's eyes. In order to resolve the embarrassment, he took the initiative to shake hands with Martin. After a brief polite greeting, the two went back to their respective places.
Take your own seat and wait for the meeting to start.
Li Zhanxiong, who was wearing a wireless headset, began to speak: "Dear Ms. Catherine Chen and representatives of all parties, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, on behalf of CNSA and X Base, I would like to welcome and thank you all for coming to attend the meeting..." p>
The meeting adopted simultaneous interpretation, so Li Zhanxiong could speak fluently without pausing. Almost all the guests' eyes were focused on him, and the atmosphere in the venue was solemn.
"Two and a half years ago, Ms. Catherine Chen hosted a consultation meeting here. The theme of the meeting was to discuss the intrusion of celestial body No. 52156XK-1 and the need to take preventive measures. However, after that meeting, 52156XK-
The No. 1 celestial body suddenly changed its direction and left the solar system. Humanity seemed to be free from the interference from outer space. However, with a series of events that happened later, we have to regard it as an important beginning! p>
Li Zhanxiong turned on the projection and first showed a picture of the starry sky to the participants: "Look, everyone, this small bright spot was the Webb Space Telescope in the early morning of June 1, two years ago, about 80 astronomical units from the earth in the direction of Cygnus.
A flash of light was captured in a certain place, and it was later proven that it was the flash of light emitted when celestial body 52156XK-1 was destroyed by an unknown force. It was this flash that led to our final research on a series of unknown events caused by celestial body 52156XK-1.
We persisted and got to this day. The background of our upcoming 'Project 2' project also starts with this flash. As you all know, it takes about 11 hours for light to travel 80 astronomical units. Photographed by the Webb Space Telescope
The time of this flash is 5 a.m. GMT on June 1st, which is 13:00 BJ time on June 1st - please note that this is the time when this flash reaches the earth's orbit - but, we
A researcher received this information at 2 a.m. on June 1, a full 11 hours earlier than the time when Webb observed the flash. This phenomenon is incredible: the distance of 80 astronomical units, even the speed of light,
It takes 11 hours to travel through. How can our researcher know that the event is happening at the same time that the beam of light is emitted?! Could it be said that there is still a propagation speed exceeding the speed of light in the solar system?! About our
A researcher, some of you here have met him before, and some have even worked with him for a long time."
Li Zhanxiong looked at Martin, who nodded in response.
"In order to clarify this matter, we established a special research institution, which was the early '601' Institute. Together with experts and observers sent by the United Nations, we focused on a series of mysterious events and unknown events caused by the 52156XK-1 celestial body.
The information was researched and deciphered. As a result, the research report of '601' showed that there may be other spaces in the solar system, and there are even intelligent life there with a civilization level higher than human beings! These sound a bit incredible, even in
In our view of the world, it is also difficult to accept. However, another event that occurred during this period finally allowed us to completely break the shackles of our thoughts and dare to reflect on the shortcomings of science and truth in the face of this series of mysterious phenomena.
This incident is a bizarre incident that happened during the implementation of our 'Project No. 1'!"
Someone was discussing in a low voice at the venue. Li Zhanxiong paused consciously, and after the venue returned to quiet, he opened the second picture on the projector, which was a "crop circle" photo.
"The project plan of my country's 'Project 1' is to launch the 'Fuxi' nuclear spacecraft for an orbital exploration flight around Saturn, and release the 'Summer Solstice' lander to Enceladus to detect the conditions for life on Enceladus. This This mission is highly confidential. However, when our 'Fuxi' spacecraft entered space, '601' unexpectedly received a crop circle pattern and a set of mysterious codes. At the same time, a mysterious code also appeared in Amesbury, England. The exact same crop circles! After being cracked by '601' experts, they found that they all gave the same warning: Enceladus has unknown dangers! Unfortunately, we had no sufficient reason to believe and accept this warning at the time. It was impossible to give up the implementation of the 'Project No. 1' plan because of this unknown warning. As a result, the 'Fuxi' and the 'Xiazhi' lost contact one after another! And the person who cracked the code of the crop circle at that time was the one here today. Mr. Martin, a special observer from the United Nations!"
Li Zhanxiong nodded slightly towards Martin to show respect. Martin also bowed to Li Zhanxiong politely.
"From then on, the work of '601' focused on searching for the 'Fuxi' and the 'Xiazhi'. Then, several of their main members encountered the famous incident on their way back from the British inspection.
"The 'missing flight' incident." Li Zhanxiong displayed photos of Flight 4577 after it made an emergency landing at a military airport on a projection. "Thus, we have to begin to accept the existence of 'parallel spaces', but time is not unified.
This fact! From now on, things will become even more bizarre and terrifying..."
Li Zhanxiong compiled the video of the explosion of the Arctic Village meteorite, the photos of the "black shadow" in the corona taken by the "Tiangong" space station, the photos and videos of the "cloud body" invading the X base, the photos of the recovery of the "super solar eclipse", etc.
Once put on the projection.
"Many of the following events have been made public. Among them, the 'cloud bodies' running rampant in the solar system have obviously posed a huge threat to human existence. We have learned that these 'cloud bodies' are designed to absorb the energy of the sun.
Since then, it simply regards human beings as nothing in its 'consciousness'; however, when the 'super solar eclipse' appears, especially when part of the 'cloud bodies' suddenly descend on the earth, we feel that the previous '601' has received
The messy information seems to be highly correlated and directional. That is, the solar system is encountering an invasion from outer space life forms. But fortunately, we also know that in addition to humans, there are also
There are other life forms guarding our homeland with us; we have even verified that outside our world, there are other multi-dimensional time and space intertwined and coexisting with us. Just as human beings know that life is short but there are still more.
Strive to strive for greater survival value, and I believe that everyone here will not give up the search for the true meaning of the universe due to future unexpected events. Therefore, this is the significance of our implementation of 'Project No. 2' today."
Li Zhanxiong showed multispectral photos of "clouds" taken by the space telescope on the projection. He saw clusters of colorful gaseous materials with uneven shades suspended around the sun and in the orbit of Mercury, like the magnified outer reaches of the Milky Way in the Hubble Deep Field.
The nebula is so magnificent, fantastic and mysterious. The solitary Mercury is like a small gray-black marble, looming in the "nebula".
"According to CNSA's plan, the mission of 'Project No. 2' is to send a manned spacecraft to the orbit of Mercury to conduct close-range detection of 'cloud bodies' distributed in that area. But..." Li Zhanxiong's expression changed.
He became solemn and his voice began to tremble a little, "We may have to face the reality: these 'cloud bodies' are ultimately unknowable and unexplorable. Perhaps they are another existence beyond the definition of the human world, a kind of
Existences that are far higher than the level of human intelligence; compared to them, humans are too small and insignificant! Even all human attempts to communicate with them will be in vain, and what they will do in the face of humans, we
It may be completely impossible to understand, react, parry and escape. However, even so, we are still prepared and we still have to face them! Because this is the development of human civilization since the birth of mankind.
It is a mission that we must face and undertake today. In the face of the laws of survival of the universe, no matter how small and insignificant human beings are, we still need to show our will and character!"
The audience suddenly burst into warm applause. Gao Tianjun felt his eyes were moist...
"Now I would like to introduce to you the Kunlun astronauts participating in this mission. Our astronauts are invited to enter!" After Li Zhanxiong said that, he turned around solemnly and faced the door of the conference room.
The guests all stood up and applauded to welcome the arrival of the astronauts...
Gao Tianjun nervously looked towards the door of the conference room——
The first person to come in was Vera, a female astronaut from RKA. Gao Tianjun had met her at the emergency consultation meeting two years ago.
The second person to enter the venue was a tall, muscular man with a beard. He was Sean, an astronaut from NASA.
The Chinese female astronaut who walked in last made Gao Tianjun almost scream——
