Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

"Actually, I'm not surprised that they would have such a big reaction. This just shows that our drilling device technology is far ahead. If they develop so-called space-based weapons, I'm afraid things will develop in a completely different direction. "

When Xu Yun saw Zhou Mingwei coming over, he took the initiative to hand over a cup of brewed tea and answered with a smile on his face.

It seems like he doesn't take these trivial things to heart.

Zhou Mingwei was relieved after hearing these remarks. He was indeed worried that this would affect Xu Yun and cause delays in the progress of the lunar base project.

After reaching out to take the tea cup and sitting down happily, he added, "Let them worry about it. If there is any problem, the superiors will take care of it." After saying this, he put the tea to his mouth and tasted it.

And what he said was not wrong at all. Regardless of whether Xu Yun developed a drilling device comparable to space-based weapons, he would be best protected simply by virtue of his status as an academician of the two academies.

No matter how far the external situation develops, there is no need for him to intervene.

For him, his greatest contribution is to complete the project at hand.

After hearing Zhou Mingwei's words, Xu Yun also understood what the other party was worried about, so he mentioned it again.

"Now we have completed the preliminary processing of the lava tube cave and are using four Yutu-3 lunar rovers to clean the tube cave. Based on the data calculated from the deep sea, it is estimated that the entire cleaning process will take half a year."

"During this period, it is best for us to complete the manufacturing of the core module and important components of the lunar base."

"This can speed up the progress of base construction to the greatest extent."

Zhou Mingwei's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and then his expression became serious as if he thought of something.

Yue Mo paused for two or three seconds before nodding and sighing: "I will lead the project members to complete these on time."

Intuitively speaking, the best way to speed up the cleaning of lava tube holes is undoubtedly to increase the number of lunar rovers.

The more Yutu-3 lunar rovers involved in the cleanup work, the sooner the work can be completed.

Just then the next phase begins.

Originally, they planned to launch another Long March-10 manned launch vehicle next month, which will still carry three Yutu-3 lunar rovers to the moon.

But now next month's launch mission can only be cancelled.

As a new generation of manned launch vehicle, the Long March 10 can be said to have started test flights as soon as it completed research and development, and then logically entered service and participated in missions.

Although it can meet the requirements in terms of technology, the logistics is a bit stretched.

To put it simply, the rockets are not enough.

After all, with the establishment of the lava tube cave lunar base plan, the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is already overloaded.

Responsible for the installation of modified drilling devices for manned spacecraft, as well as the research and development of the core module of the lunar base and its components, which will somewhat affect the production of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle.

In addition, Chang Shi's launch frequency is relatively fast, and this time it launched two rockets in succession.

It's normal for this to happen.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the core module of the lunar base is successfully sent to the moon, it is not suitable to launch the Changshi manned launch vehicle until the lava tube hole is cleaned. Otherwise, even if you save time now, it will make no difference if you still have to wait later.

Of course, they have not considered using other types of rockets for transportation, but doing so will undoubtedly increase the risk.

If something went wrong during the process, it would not only cause very large losses but also possibly undermine everyone's confidence. After careful consideration, we finally decided to give up the idea.

Anyway, as long as the core module of the lunar base is completed on time, only half a year will be worth the wait.

Xu Yun naturally trusts Zhou Mingwei's words very much. Since he said it now, he will definitely try his best to complete it.

You must know that the other party wants to see the success of the moon base more than he does.

After talking about the serious matters related to the lunar base project, the messy thoughts just now were immediately cleared from their minds, and the two of them sat here drinking tea for the next time.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng was busy arranging tasks and was not there at this time, otherwise he would have complained a lot when he saw this scene.

How can I drink tea without calling him.

Soon as time passed by, just when the two of them were almost done drinking and about to work, the office door was suddenly knocked with a slightly rapid frequency.

Although he didn't know who was in a hurry at this time, Zhou Mingwei put down his teacup and replied in a deep voice.

"Please come in."

Both of them knew Zhang Feng's character, especially after they got to know each other thoroughly. If they wanted to enter the office, they would most likely be too lazy to knock on the door.

Not to mention as urgent as it is now.

So it was certain that the person coming from outside was not Zhang Feng.

And their judgment was indeed correct.

As Zhou Mingwei's voice came out, a figure suddenly opened the door and walked in hastily.

Zhou Mingwei and Xu Yun were quite surprised when the visitor arrived, and after regaining consciousness they quickly stood up to greet him.

And take the initiative to ask about the situation.

"Director Bai, why did you come here suddenly today?"

That's right.

It was Bai Ruisong, director of the Space Office, who came in.

Unlike Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng, who are chief designers, Bai Ruisong is not from a technical background, so he will not be responsible for the specific research and development of the project. His main job is to coordinate with various departments to apply for funds. In addition to attending meetings, It’s not easy to see people.

Therefore, it is indeed surprising to see the other party coming over on his own initiative and still looking eager.

But at this moment, Bai Ruisong seemed not to notice Zhou Mingwei, and directly focused on Xu Yun.

He said anxiously: "I finally found you, Xu Yuan, come with me quickly."

After finishing his words, without waiting for Xu Yun to answer, he stepped forward and tried to pull Xu Yun out of the office.

Although Xu Yun knew that the other party would not be detrimental to him, he felt that it was better to clarify the situation first, so that he could prepare in advance no matter what happened.

His thoughts stayed here, and he did not follow Bai Ruisong's steps.

Instead, he asked questions later.

"What happened, Director Bai, where are we going?"

At this time, Zhou Mingwei also reacted and spoke helpfully: "Director Bai, you'd better tell me what's going on first. Later, Xu Yuan will go with me to check the research progress of the core module of the lunar base."

After hearing the words of the two academicians, Bai Ruisong realized that his performance was indeed a bit eager.

After temporarily stopping, he explained with a somewhat embarrassed expression:

"Someone from the military is here, and they want to have a brief chat with Xu Yuan."

"Is it because our drilling device experiment was successful?" Zhou Mingwei's heart immediately moved after hearing this.

I blurted out a question subconsciously, wanting to confirm my guess.

After all, if someone can come from there and come here specifically, it can only be the lunar drilling device that is being discussed all over the world.

"Don't think too much, they just want to ask Xu Yuan a few questions." Bai Ruisong was worried that the two of them were overthinking and explained quickly.

After figuring out the true situation of the matter, Xu Yun still looked relaxed and didn't think anything was wrong.

First of all, he has never claimed in public that the lunar drilling device is a so-called space-based weapon, although it does have the ability to accurately strike the ground. Nowadays, it is widely rumored that he has been studying space-based weapons, all of which are believed by certain people. thought.

I'm afraid even the higher-ups don't know the real situation.

No matter how you choose to respond in this situation, understanding the situation first is the most correct thing to do.

After thinking about this clearly, he didn't waste any more time.

"Then I'll go there with Director Bai first. As for the core cabin, only Zhou Yuan can go first." After saying this to Zhou Mingwei, he walked towards the outside of the office.

Seeing this, Bai Ruisong naturally followed quickly.

Zhou Mingwei certainly wouldn't say anything when faced with Xu Yun's decision, and in the end just responded to Xu Yun's back.

"Just leave it to me over there."

…

Xu Yun and Bai Ruisong left Zhou Mingwei's office and soon came to a reception room. When the situation inside the door came into view, Xu Yun immediately noticed a man sitting upright on the sofa.

He has a relatively ordinary appearance but has resolute and sharp eyes. Although he looks definitely less than fifty years old, the medals on his special clothes are extremely dazzling.

This alone proves that the other party's identity is absolutely extraordinary.

When the other party saw someone coming in, he quickly stood up and took the initiative to greet him.

No airs at all.

Expressed his respect to Xu Yun.

At this time, Bai Ruisong also quickly introduced each other, always with a smile on his face when he spoke.

"Academician Xu, this is Lei Ming from the Military Region, responsible for this lunar drilling device incident."

"If there's anything you can just talk about."

After listening to Bai Ruisong's introduction, Xu Yun stretched out his hand to say hello: "Hello, Chief Lei."

Lei Ming obviously had a detailed understanding of Xu Yun's situation. He shook hands solemnly and responded: "Hello, Academician Xu."

The shaping fluorocarbon polymer materials developed by Xu Yun, as well as the doorframe robot armor, have led to a significant growth trend in military strength.

Among them, the official version of artificial intelligence developed, Deep Sea, closely connects the entire military force.

The effect it can achieve is unmatched by any force.

If a battle really takes place, with the auxiliary connection of the deep sea, it will definitely become a nightmare for the enemy.

Therefore, this alone requires absolute respect for Xu Yun.

Not to mention that Xu Yun is an academician of the two academies who needs special protection.

In addition, when Lei Ming learned that he had been sent to perform this task, he was very excited. It could be said that he brought people here to see Xu Yun without even eating.

As for the space-based weapons widely rumored by the outside world, we definitely hope that Xu Yun has actually developed them.

After all, when others say you have something, it's best to actually have it.

He had watched the process of the drilling device bombarding the moon. Although the power was indeed astonishing and reached the category of space-based weapons, Xu Yun, as the developer, had not publicly expressed anything.

And there is indeed no record of a space-based weapons project.

This makes him more worried, fearing that although this device can be used to drill holes in lava tubes on the moon, it cannot be used for space-based weapons to carry out precise strikes on ground targets.

If this is the case, they will need to develop a new response plan.

However, we still need to ask Xu Yun face to face about the true situation of the matter.

His thoughts stayed here, and he immediately didn't want to show off any more, so he immediately turned his attention to Bai Ruisong next to him.

The next second he spoke more politely: "Director Bai, I may have something to talk to Academician Xu next, and I'm afraid I need you to go out for a meeting first."

Space-based weapons are also known as the Scepter of God among overseas forces. It can be said that all parties have been studying them in recent years.

Try every means to deploy it in low-Earth orbit.

Because in theory, space-based weapons can not only accurately carry out ultra-long-range strikes against important targets on the ground, but can also easily destroy space equipment such as satellites and even space stations in low-Earth orbit.

It can even carry out missions to destroy alien bases in the future.

Its importance can be imagined.

It can be called the country's most powerful shield.

Therefore, special attention must be paid to caution when dealing with this matter.

As the director of the aerospace office, Bai Ruisong is naturally very clear about the things involved, so he will definitely not have any objection to Lei Ming's words. On the contrary, he does not want to know too much about things other than aerospace.

"No problem, Chief Lei, then you can talk slowly." He still responded with a smile. After that, he turned around and left and closed the door specially.

Lei Ming watched Bai Ruisong until his figure completely disappeared, then turned his attention to Xu Yun again, with a smile on his face and a softer look in his eyes.

"Academician Xu, please take a seat."

Faced with such politeness from an elder who was much older than him, Xu Yun didn't feel restrained.

After all, he has long been used to this kind of thing and can no longer get used to it.

He nodded at the other person and walked to the sofa next to him to sit down, waiting for Lei Ming's questions.

Even though there were only two of them in the room at the moment, Lei Ming still maintained an upright sitting posture, with his back not leaning against the back of the sofa.

Then Lei Ming got straight to the point and stated his intention.

"Academician Xu, you must have seen the discussion about the lunar drilling device you designed, right?"

"I have some understanding, and the commotion is indeed very loud." Xu Yun nodded and told the truth.

"It can plunge the whole world into panic. Even the Security Council issued a document asking us to immediately stop the research and development of this device. Looking at the whole world, there are not many scientists who can do it." Lei Ming listened to all Xu Yun's answers. Entering the ear, he smiled and replied half-jokingly.

It can be seen that he has a very good impression of Xu Yun, and he does not show his usual momentum at all.

After a few brief exchanges, Xu Yun's favorable impression of the officer in front of him gradually increased, and he became more relaxed.

"I can only say that these people are really too timid. I just designed an ordinary punching device. It is only slightly more powerful and makes them worry like this."

Xu Yun responded with a bit of complaint, and he was quite speechless when he mentioned this.

But the meaning of these words is different when hearing the thunder.

I wonder if the drilling device you designed is not very close to ordinary.

As for the power, it's not that big.

Of course, he was just thinking about this in his mind, and he would definitely not have such low emotional intelligence that he would take the initiative to say it out loud.

What's more, this is what he is most worried about, that is, to determine whether the drilling device designed by Xu Yun is actually a space-based weapon as mentioned by the outside world.

"Academician Xu."

"I came here this time mainly to ask you to confirm one thing. Can the lunar drilling device you designed be deployed as a space-based weapon?"

"This result is important to us."

After finally asking this question, Lei Ming couldn't help but become nervous, his eyes fixed on Xu Yun for fear of hearing a worried answer.

In fact, when Bai Ruisong talked about thunder, Xu Yun basically guessed the other person's intention.

Who makes space-based weapons too important?

The first thing that needs to be made clear is that he himself does not mind using drilling devices for space-based weapons. On the contrary, this can better ensure the peaceful development of human civilization.

So he didn't hesitate to tell the answer that Lei Ming wanted to hear most.

"From the beginning to the end of the design and development of the drilling device, we have been aiming to build human civilization's first lunar base, and have not thought about researching space-based weapons."

At this point, Xu Yun paused deliberately. After seeing Lei Ming's expression starting to look a little regretful, he changed the subject and made a complete reversal.

"but……"

"Whether it is the power or accuracy of the lunar drilling device, I think it is not inferior to the so-called space-based weapons."

"Although it has not been tested on the ground so far, the power it can cause is definitely much greater than that of the moon."

"Assuming that each low-Earth orbit spacecraft carries three devices, as long as it is deployed in multiple orbits, the destructive power it can have will be unimaginable."

After Lei Ming listened to all Xu Yun's words, no matter how calm he usually was, he was still a little unable to control his emotions.

The whole person was excited and excited like never before.

He knew exactly what this meant.

If multiple spacecraft equipped with such drilling devices can be deployed in low-Earth orbit in the future, it will be equivalent to having the right to speak, even if the deterrent effect of nuclear weapons will be reduced.

It can be said that this is the best news he has heard in a long time.

"Academician Xu, is what you said true?"

"certainly."

"I vouch for this as a scientific researcher." Xu Yun answered affirmatively again with a smile.

This also made Lei Ming unable to sit still at all. He suddenly stood up from the sofa with a smile on his face.

"It's great. We have space-based weapons, which is equivalent to having a powerful shield."

"This is great news for us."

Xu Yun saw Lei Ming's performance and asked casually: "Does it mean that the higher-ups have decided to deploy the drilling device I designed?"

"Others have already sworn that we have space-based weapons, so we can't let them down." Lei Ming didn't hide anything when he heard this, and just dropped such a sentence in a playful manner.

The idea is quite similar to Xu Yun.

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something again, and added again: "Of course, Academician Xu, you don't need to pay attention to these external matters at all, just leave them to us to handle."

"No one else can influence our decision now."

With these words, Xu Yun was completely relieved. At least he could focus all his energy on the manufacturing of the core module of the lunar base.
