From black technology to super engineering

April 24th, China Space Day (really).

According to the usual practice, during the Space Day every year, the national aerospace department will hold a press conference to announce the progress of space work in the past year to all sectors of society.

At the same time, relevant departments will also deploy a series of publicity and science popularization activities such as "Open Day" and "Science Popularization Week".

The establishment of "Space Day" aims to publicize China's consistent purpose of peaceful use of outer space, vigorously promote the spirit of spaceflight, popularize space knowledge scientifically, stimulate the enthusiasm of the whole nation for exploration and innovation, and sing "Explore the vast universe, develop the space industry, and build a space power". "The main theme is to condense the powerful force to realize the aerospace dream...

For example, the theme of this year's Aerospace Day is "Science and Technology Invite the Moon".

For journalist friends, especially domestic journalists, the meaning behind these four words is obviously a bit too much.

Thinking back to the overwhelming publicity that the other party had made a week ago...

So this year's Aerospace Day press conference was extremely lively, not only domestic media but also foreign media flocked to it.

...

At 8:30 in the morning, Kobayashi Yugata, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, entered the news hall early.

He has stayed in the capital for more than three years, but after staying for three years, he can't speak Mandarin fluently, he can only say that he can barely understand...

But fortunately, with the assistance of Aita, he can communicate without any obstacles—since this country has fully embraced strong artificial intelligence, various press conferences no longer require reporters from various countries to Speaking Mandarin to ask questions, but "you feel free".

This move undoubtedly added a lot of goodwill to friends in the media, but due to the mission of publicity, few people went deep into what it meant behind it.

——This means that if Aita's accurate translation can be popularized, then in the future, the diversity of languages ​​around the world will be able to be preserved.

And there will no longer be a certain dominant language squeezing some weaker languages, or the living space of indigenous languages ​​in backward countries.

"Xiaolin-san." A sweet voice sounded from behind.

Xiaolin Xiongfang turned his head, and the other party was a reporter from Lianhe Zaobao, Lin Shengfang, whose English name was Linda.

The two got acquainted at a media gathering, and they had occasional contact after they came down.

"Linda." Kobayashi Yukata responded with a smile, and picked up the bag that was placed on the chair next to him.

This is his experience. Occupy the position first, then sell favors later, it is really a no-cost business.

"Thank you." Linda sat down, crossed her legs, and then took out the notebook and put it on her lap.

"You changed Ita too?"

"Well, it's all changed, and the work will be smoother. Have you changed too?"

"Changed."

"What's your problem today?" Linda opened the notebook and looked at the other party.

Not every reporter has the opportunity to ask questions at this kind of press conference, so familiar reporters will exchange their questions with each other beforehand, so that they can have a judgment in their minds in advance and facilitate future publications.

If you encounter an occasion where you can ask questions freely, then this kind of opportunity is even more rare. You can seize the opportunity and ask two questions in one sentence.

"Ask if they will join the Human Space Cooperation Convention proposed by NASA." Kobayashi Yukata also looked at each other, and asked with a smile: "You too?"

Linda coughed lightly, and with a sweet smile, her thirty-year-old charm was fully displayed.

Obviously yes.

In fact, most of the reporters who came here today, besides wanting to know how the aerospace department here responds to NASA's measures, are actually more concerned about the space convention.

Because according to the content and participants of the Artemis Agreement, the predecessor of the Space Convention, there is no Russia here and no north—you know, it is a partner of the International Space Station!

Now that the Tiangong space station has already been put into operation, the two sides have clearly become two forces in space...

You said, why don't these reporters care?

"Actually, I want to ask about the progress of their controllable nuclear fusion engine." Linda laughed and said softly: "According to the rumors on the Internet, it is said that the Kuafu project team is actually testing the helium-3 fusion engine."

Xiaolin Xiongfang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly said, "Where did the rumors come from?"

"It was posted on Twitter, but the original tweet seems to have been deleted."

"..."

"I don't think you can get the real news even if you ask." Xiaolin Xiongfang was speechless for a few seconds and then shook his head: "The secrecy work here is very good."

"Well, whatever, just ask when you have the chance..."

While the two were chatting, time passed quickly, and a group of scientists and engineers from the aerospace department came to the front desk one after another.

Looking at the young man who appeared second, Kobayashi Yugata and Linda both shut up at the same time, and they looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes at the same time!

"Damn it!" Linda spat out a curse word in a low voice, and immediately started typing on the notebook.

Kobayashi Yukata also took a deep breath and began to quickly prepare his own questions.

——There is no doubt that Ye Ming was shocked when he appeared at the "Aerospace Day" press conference.

In other words, there is no doubt that the appearance of Ye Ming means shock!

The journalists present have been actively planning to interview the youngest "Nobel Prize scholar", the "Einstein" of the 21st century, "the leader of strong artificial intelligence" through various methods in the past year, half a year, and even all the time... father"……

But without exception, all interview channels were of no avail.

Some people even jokingly said that if you want to interview Professor Ye Ming, you might as well leave a message on his Twitter or attend the press conference of Jizhi Technology. Maybe you have more chances to meet him.

After a brief buzz, all reporters began to bow their heads, either typing or writing down their questions with pens.

Because they also realized that this year's press conference was not only hosted by the young Professor Ye Ming, but also not hosted by the press spokesperson from previous years, but by the BOSS of the aerospace department!

Such a scene... must be big news!

...

"Welcome all journalists and friends to the scene of the Aviation Day press conference."

Director Zhang sat in the middle and announced the start of the press conference.

"Today is the ninth aviation day. According to the usual practice, we want to report to all journalists and friends about our work since last year."

Director Zhang joked a bit, which can be regarded as setting the tone for this press conference.

The media reporters present quickly understood Director Zhang's intentions, and the expressions on their faces immediately relaxed a lot—starting with a joke means that many questions will be relaxed. At least, not so serious.

"Okay, let me introduce the situation next."

"Last year, we made a series of progress in manned spaceflight work, including the expansion of Tiangong, and progress in cooperation with the international aerospace community..."

As Director Zhang finished reading the prepared speeches, the applause also followed politely.

"Okay, I'm going to invite friends from the reporter to ask questions."

Director Zhang looked at the audience with a smile.

Under the stage, with a swipe, hands are raised like a forest.

Director Zhang looked at the question, and then clicked on the reporter of the news channel.

"Hello, Director Zhang, and Professor Ye Ming."

The reporter of the CCXV news channel stood up: "Excuse me, in the future, does our country also have a plan for a controllable nuclear fusion engine?"
