Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Since it was a "semi-public launch", all parties have been paying attention since before the four rockets were launched.

However, as the new king, he can pay attention or be nervous, and he can curse behind closed doors, but he still has to be calm when the door is open.

Especially since Amei didn't shout, others could only sit and "watch" and didn't dare to stand and "curse".

There are some things that Azhong himself hasn't realized yet. In the logic of bandits, the strong is right.

In the logic of wolves, the wolf king has lost, and the rest have to tuck their tails between their legs.

In the logic of pirates, the captain has no prestige, and the crew should also fight among themselves.

In the past, where the F35 could fly, dragons and tigers had to coil.

Now, where Xingtian can fly, wolves and dogs have to lie down.

Some people even asked questions at the official press conference on the other side of the Pacific before the launch.

"According to reliable information, Algeria and China will launch the world's first military orbital platform. What does House B think about this?"

Spokesperson: "The other party has disclosed the launch plan to the International Space Organization and has notified all countries. It complies with international rules and deserves high praise."

Look, how reasonable!

When a problem cannot be solved, denying that the problem has occurred is also a good choice.

Washington, DC, NASA headquarters.

In recent years, NASA has only held two types of meetings.

One is called "For Algeria and China", and the other is called "Others".

After several years of training, the senior consultants who often attend meetings have improved their Chinese proficiency.

Because they often have to watch the video materials there.

"15 minutes ago, four rockets were launched at once from the same base, a world first. By the way, they also released a top view of a half-buried launch silo in the Clear Alliance, although there is only one shell. You can take a look."

"The pure launch silo mode is not more efficient than the launch tower mode. The real secret is not in this shell. Didn't our satellite gain anything?"

"The limited number of photos is not as good as this. The things passed down are extremely blurry for some reason, like mosaics. Is our satellite broken?"

"I guess it's because the device is aging."

Unlike before, the former director Nelson no longer organizes meetings.

The International Space Station was destroyed, and after being questioned, he left the position he had held for more than ten years.

It seems that he lost his job, but in fact everyone knows that this is Nelson's wonderful retreat. He should play golf at this time.

A former director of NASA, relying only on his name and the social resources accumulated over the years, is enough for him to still mix well in the second half of his life, or even better.

On the other hand, the two black and white generals who were pushed out to take the blame are already eating free puffs in prison.

Now, the new director is a cisgender white male under 40 years old.

Just from his hard jaw and soft long hair, you can tell that he is a senior L**TQIAPKDXU person.

This is an American feature in recent years. More and more fields have begun to change from "must respect L**T people" to "must have L**T people participate".

Otherwise it is discrimination and incorrect.

Although this person only has a bachelor's degree in law, no one dares to say that this person is incorrect.

Because if you question, others will not say that you question the other party's ability, but only that you are questioning the other party's orientation. This is persecution and discrimination!

The new director lifted his long hair and said: "OKOK~ I know that before I took office, you have been beaten to the point of not knowing the north, but don't be too nervous. These are all technologies that have been announced. "

"It's not what they did, but what we did in response. Hansen, what do you want to say? "

In the corner, Hansen's heart trembled.

This 70-year-old meritorious scientist who participated in the moon landing project was actually a little nervous because of a question from a man who was more than 30 years younger than him.

After his old friend Nelson left, his life at NASA became not so good.

However, as he worried, things were indeed moving in a bad direction.

The new director said sternly: "Hansen, I heard that the "Eye of Artemis" project has completed 99% of the work. When can this NASA's most expensive project be launched?"

Hansen said in a deep voice: "99% is just the main body of the equipment. There are still many tests and inspections that have not been completed. The original plan was to launch it next spring."

The new director shook his head: "It's not too late. Three years ago, this project was approved to hedge against a series of aerospace breakthroughs on the other side, and now you can't even see the taillights on the other side. To be honest, I feel annoyed when I see these words. How many times will it be mentioned? How much meaning does this project still have? I have deep doubts. "

"Mr. Hansen, let me tell you a number. It is now the end of October. In the middle of next month, the 'China Science and Technology Expo' will be held over there. I think there will be a lot of eye-catching tricks, so we also need to have our own news in the field of science and technology to offset these effects.

"I require that while the Expo is being held over there, the 'Eye of Artemis' must announce 'launching soon'. Before the end of this year, in December, I require that our lunar exploration equipment must leave the earth."

Hansen said excitedly: "No! Space engineering is not something you can speed up just because you want it to!"

New Director: “I think sometimes it’s not the project’s problem, but the people’s problem. I’ve received many complaints that you are very rigid in your work and don’t follow the rules and regulations from decades ago. And L**T And people of color are very underrepresented.”

"If you can't accelerate, I think someone else can take over."

Hansen opened his mouth in shock.

The new director sneered in his heart. He wouldn't mind finding more "LGBT brothers and sisters" to take the credit.

Let's help each other. A project with 99% of the work completed is the right time...

Maybe others would care about whether this would leave hidden dangers, but he didn't care.

Because questioning him is persecution and incorrect

So did his siblings.

Hansen's lips were trembling, but in the end, he controlled his emotions.

He sat down tremblingly and said weakly: "I understand. In November, during the 'China Science and Technology Expo', we will announce the launch plan to the public."

This old scientist, who had always been known for his seriousness and rigidity, felt like a candle in the wind.

The new director was a little regretful that the other party didn't just walk away, but he still put on a show and said: "There is still a launch in December, as you promised."

Anyway, once there is a delay, he will change someone.

An old man, a white man, a man with no special hobbies and no one to back him up, he can do whatever he wants.

In the conference room, other people were chilling.

They sympathized with Hansen's experience, but they did not dare to speak the same words, otherwise they would be labeled as homophobic, persecuted, discriminatory, and incorrect.

Some people suddenly feel that times have really changed

Maybe he should also meet the new director in private and then declare in a high-profile manner that he joins the LGBT community? Maybe you can climb higher this way

——————

When some places are engulfed in quarrels, changes in the boundless space do not stop.

Four huge payload bins, the front and rear legs have reached the predetermined orbital height.

It's not unusual for visitors to come to this space, but four of them at once is unprecedented.

The fairings on the four load bays cracked almost simultaneously, revealing four huge cubes inside.

There are dim and complex indicator lights on the cube, which is particularly mysterious in the dark universe.

The small engine at the edge started, combining the four cubes together, and then began a complex deformation, constantly unfolding and twisting, not very fast. After about ten minutes, it turned into a hexagonal barrel-shaped structure.

As it unfolded, two smart devices with pyramid-shaped heads flew out from the interior. Four robotic arms hung behind, constantly swimming around to check the condition of the fasteners and riveting conditions.

With the continuous upgrading of "mortise and tenon" technology, Tai Tiangong has now developed multiple variations.

The cube is the "structural mortise and tenon" of the body, and the "bricks" form the main frame.

With a pyramid-shaped body and the same four robotic arms, the "operator" is responsible for operations, oxygen-free welding, etc.

A "swimmer" with a cone as its body and a smaller body, responsible for patrol work.

The cylindrical head is the "replenisher" responsible for fuel injection and transportation.

There are also some other abandoned cases that were abandoned after the verification on "Nantianmen" was not effective. Currently, the smart devices on "Lingxiao" are mainly based on these five types.

After completing a small amount of work, these "operators" returned to their fixed position, which was the outside of "Lingxiao", retracted their robotic arms, grasped the connectors, and slowly fell silent, like a bulge on Lingxiao. .

Four rockets are still far from being able to build a complete "Lingxiao", even the "Jingtian 2" with a payload that has nearly doubled, so after nearly half an hour of work, only a small section appeared on the orbit.

It's even too short, more like a ring.

All kinds of information are coming in from the ground and Wanhu base.

"The first-stage components are all deployed, and the intelligent networking telemetry is good."

"The solar system is working normally and the power feedback reaches 101.21% of the expected value."

"The operator returned to standby and completed all work items."

In the intelligent command center, Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Activate the six-yao stealth mode."

On the track, there is only one ring of "Ling Xiao", and a hidden component inside starts to work.

There are no sound and light effects, everything is so quiet.

After a moment, six thick antennas were erected at the six corners of Lingxiao. In a simple and crude physical way, they broke through the boundaries of the electromagnetic shielding field to receive and release signals from all directions.

This mode is as simple and effective as the "tip radar" on the nose of a fighter jet.

Just now it looked like a "ring", now it looks like a spiked ring

In extreme cases, you can turn on the stealth and retract the "antenna". It is like a silent submarine, but then the ground will not be able to contact "Lingxiao"

"Lingxiao's electromagnetic reaction disappeared."

"Our communication capabilities have been successfully reestablished and the six-line mode is working normally."

"The orbit height is normal and all telemetry is normal"

So far, the first launch was a complete success.

The world's first intelligent launch.

For the first time in the world, four rockets were launched simultaneously.

The world's first permanent military equipment beyond orbit.

All accomplished tonight.

But it's not time to be happy yet. They will conduct such launches a total of eight times.

Only if there are no problems eight times in a row will it be considered complete.
