MTL - The Rise of Space Technology-Chapter 261 , huge influence
Chapter 261, huge influence
Xinghai Industrial Base, a huge open space here, many news media reporters came here early after a night's rest, because the Houyi will return to Earth today.
Compared with half a century ago, the beautiful fruit people took several days to return, and Xinghai Technology returned from the moon in less than a day, but the speed was not sure how much.
Of course, in itself, the technologies of the two sides are not comparable, one is traditional rocket technology, the other is anti-gravity technology belonging to the interstellar age.
Landing on the moon is just a piece of cake. It is not much different from traveling to the moon. Even Liu Yuan, the richest man in the world who is full and has nothing to do, went to the moon to collect collections. In terms of technology, there is no difficulty at all.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, in the blue sky, a small dot quickly landed here, and soon, it became a **** dot in everyone's field of vision, and then it was like a huge black cloud. , the closer it gets to the ground, the slower it falls, as light as a feather without any weight.
Finally, in the center of the huge open space, the huge body of the Houyi slowly landed. After a while, its hatch slowly opened, and a team of medical teams and biological detection teams who had already prepared for a long time quickly confronted each other. The Houyi ship is disinfected, inspected and tested inside and outside.
This is for the sake of safety, in order to prevent biological viruses, bacteria and the like from alien planets from invading the earth. Although these things cannot exist on the moon at all, it is still necessary to carry out some careful disinfection and testing.
In addition, bacteria and viruses carried from the earth to the moon may mutate under the irradiation of various cosmic rays and radiation on the moon. What was originally harmless to humans has become extremely harmful. of bacteria and viruses, which is also difficult to say.
Some scientists outside the world are not completely nonsense. It is not wrong to be cautious in every step of human exploration, because today's human beings are still too fragile.
Liu Yuan was the first to walk out of Houyi.
"hu~hu~"
Greedily took a few mouthfuls of the earth's air, feeling the breath and taste of freedom.
On the surface of the moon, you have to wear a space suit all the time. It is really uncomfortable. When there is no air, everything is desolate and silent, which makes people extremely uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Following Liu Yuan were some scientists, astronauts, engineers and news media reporters who went to the moon with them. There were hundreds of people when they went there, but only a few dozen people came back this time.
Most of the people are still on the side of the moon. On the one hand, they are building a lunar base. On the other hand, they are exploring the resources of the moon and conducting some scientific experiments and research on the moon.
"Crash~"
Of course, when he stepped out of the Houyi and waved his hand towards the camera, there was an immediate burst of applause like a tidal wave. This was applause for explorers and pioneers, as well as for the upcoming interstellar era.
According to the plan of Xinghai Technology, a press conference will be held on site after Houyi returns.
Liu Yuan brought everyone to the press conference with the huge Houyi in the background.
Looking at the tens of thousands of news media reporters in front of him, Liu Yuan thought for a while and slowly said, "This is a great moment!"
"It is the beginning of our human beings truly stepping out of the earth and heading towards the vast starry universe!"
"The distance between the earth and the moon is 380,000 kilometers. In the universe, such a scale is an extremely trivial scale. Now, we have sold such a trivial step, but this step is a historic one. A great step."
"This is a great moment that will go down in history and be engraved in history!"
"Perhaps countless years later, when our descendants are all over the sky and the universe and the sea, and look back at this moment today, even though it is such a small step, it is also a leap forward for the history and progress of our human civilization. One step!"
Liu Yuan's words just finished, the applause like a tide resounded again.
"When I'm in space, you look in any direction, and you can see countless twinkling stars. I always wonder, on the other side of the starry sky, at the end of the galaxy, in the vast universe, what will happen? What a wonderful story."
"Earth, it's just an insignificant planet in the vast universe. Our human eyes should not be limited to the earth."
"We should look at the universe and the sea of stars, keep climbing on the road of science and technology, master more powerful technology, see the more colorful world in the universe, feel the vastness of the interstellar universe, and see the splendor of the universe civilization. , to wander the boundless vastness of the sea of stars in the universe."
Applause sounded again.
At this moment, countless people couldn't help but respect Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan is the richest man in the world. He is very rich when he is young. Many times, people always wonder, if someone like Liu Yuan is like him, what are his ideals and goals?
Is money?
Is fame and fortune?
Now it seems that it is obviously not the case. Just like Liu Yuan's speech in Xinghai Technology, perhaps his ideal and goal is already Xingchenhai.
He is completely different from other rich people in the world. Some people are just miser, meaningless to the progress and development of human society.
"I'll go, Mr. Liu Yuan is a bull fork, Xingchenhai, I used to think he was putting a fork in, but now it seems that I am the ambition of Yan Que's An Zhihong Hu."
"Thinking about it is very exciting, feeling the vastness of the interstellar universe and experiencing the colorful world, but unfortunately, I still have to move bricks, pay my mortgage, and support my family."
"At this moment, I am smoking ten yuan cigarettes, eating steamed buns that cost one yuan, and earning 3,000 yuan a month. I even dream of going to the sea of stars."
"Look at what Liu Yuan means, there must be aliens in this interstellar universe?"
"Theoretically speaking, there are not only there, but also a very large number. The earth is definitely not the only intelligent life in the universe, and it is absolutely impossible to say that it is the only life planet in the universe. Nothing is known about it.”
"I don't know what aliens will look like."
"Do you say that in the future, we will have a war with aliens?"
"There is bound to be a war, and any civilized races first come into contact with each other and know each other in the form of war, because since ancient times, the history of our earth has been like this."
"Stop, stop, chat, chat, how come the aliens are here."
“.”
Liu Yuan’s speech was being broadcast live on major online platforms, and various discussions were also flashing rapidly.
At this moment, people began to discuss the interstellar universe and alien civilizations. In the past, what people discussed most was the hardships of life, the level of income, money and material things, beauty and morality.
Invisibly, the topic of discussion became the sea of stars, the interstellar universe, like a clear stream injected into the turbid sewage.
"Mr. Liu Yuan, do you believe in the existence of aliens and alien civilizations?"
Here at the scene, it is time to ask questions, and some reporters start to ask questions.
"I don't think it's a matter of belief, but to be sure that there will definitely be alien civilizations and aliens, but the vast starry sky blocks our communication and exchanges."
"Just like the era of HNA on Earth, the vast ocean blocked the communication and understanding between Europeans and Indians. When they were separated from each other by the vast ocean, they all wondered what the end of the ocean would be like?"
"Our current situation is also the same. The sea of stars blocks our communication and communication with alien civilizations. When whoever masters the technology and warships in the cosmos first, can be the same as hundreds of years ago. Like Europeans, galloping in the sea of stars."
Liu Yuan thought about it and said with great certainty.
Liu Yuan's words are only half said. Whoever masters the technology of navigating the interstellar universe first will be able to colonize the interstellar space. On the contrary, if you are a village like an American Indian, then you are doomed to have a tragic and rough fate.
Everyone at the scene listened carefully, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised after listening.
When everyone is still immersed in the peace of the earth and economic recovery, when everyone is still immersed in housing loans, car loans, and all kinds of early consumption.
Suddenly, Liu Yuan's words were like a wake-up call, telling everyone, stop playing, don't sleep, if you don't work hard, the colonists from the starry sky may reach the earth, and they will be like hundreds of years ago. Europeans, in general, treat you as a slave, as livestock and as private property.
They will destroy your home, slaughter your family, take all your wealth, and even make you their slave and tool.
At this moment, the most flustered people are probably those from Europe and the United States. Their ancestors were the biggest beneficiaries of the colonial era of the earth's great voyages. They knew very well the huge benefits and wealth brought to them by the colonial era.
Now, listening to Liu Yuan's words, it felt as if he was woken up severely.
Think about whether you care too much about the hegemony on the earth, and whether you are too addicted to searching for the leeks and wealth on the earth, but gradually forget about the crisis outside the earth.
Think about your ancestors, how brave and fearless they were, drifting in the sea, dancing with the wind and waves, and this is what they are now, and what they are today.
If one day, when an alien civilization descends on the earth, what will be our fate?
PS: Do you think it makes sense?
