Chapter 329 Who Is Crazier than Luo Gong? (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)
The Apollo moon landing has been met with unprecedented doubts, and as the moon landing plan has been pushed back again and again, NASA has finally brought itself to the brink of danger.
I receive a large amount of funds from the state every year, but in the end I don’t do anything serious.
Taxpayers won't tolerate this.
"Bill should get out of class immediately. There are tens of billions of dollars in special research funding every year. What do they do with the money?"
"Isn't our technology amazing? Didn't we land on the moon? Why do people say there are no traces on it now?"
"Isn't this another scam projecting a statue of Jesus?"
"In order to win a battle before, our people deliberately projected a statue of Jesus on the enemy to attack them!"
"So, is it really a fake this time?"
"This is so embarrassing! Do they think others can't land on the moon, so they can say whatever they want?"
Bill, as the head of NASA, is facing unprecedented pressure at this time. NASA's phone calls are almost exploded. The media, politicians, and even ordinary people are asking him to give a clear explanation.
Among other things, Bill received orders to see the old gentleman.
Bill became even more anxious at the thought of seeing each other.
What can he say to a man who is not clear-headed and forgets his words when he speaks?
But he wanted to think about it, he still had to go if he should go.
As a worker in the workplace, no matter what level you are at, you must listen to your superiors.
With a heavy heart, Bill drove to the meeting place with the other party.
He knew that this meeting would determine his career and possibly even the future of NASA.
The scenery outside the car window flew by quickly, but Bill's thoughts were like a mess. He tried to recall NASA's various achievements and mistakes in the past few years, but his mind was in chaos. He knew very well that NASA's use of funds, project management, etc. There are indeed many problems, but these problems cannot be solved overnight.
While he was thinking wildly, his cell phone rang. After Bill answered the call, he hesitated at first and then showed surprise on his face.
Finally, Bill arrived at the old gentleman's residence. He took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and then stepped into the solemn and mysterious building.
The old gentleman sat behind a large desk and stared at Bill with burning eyes. There was no expression on his face, but Bill could feel the invisible pressure.
"Bill, you're here." The old gentleman's voice was calm and deep, "I heard that NASA has encountered some troubles recently."
It's not just a little trouble, it's a big trouble!
Bill thought gloomily.
Although he didn't want to review what he had done, he still said it. He took a deep breath and began to explain NASA's situation, from the use of funds, project management to scientific research progress, etc. One by one.
He tried to remain calm and objective, hoping to make the old man understand NASA's dilemma.
However, the old gentleman did not respond immediately. He listened quietly to Bill's story, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning. Of course, Bill could clearly feel the old gentleman's dissatisfaction with him.
What can he do? As a worker, you must not panic. The more you panic, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
What's more, can he be blamed for this?
The people in Hua Kingdom seemed to be desperate for their lives. They were all rolled up into a tornado. What could he do?
Finally, the old man spoke: "Bill, I know you have tried your best, but NASA's current problem is not just as simple as improper use of funds. You need to re-examine your scientific research direction and management model to find the real problem."
Bill felt a chill in his heart, knowing that although the old gentleman was sometimes confused, he was indeed right on this matter.
NASA does need a profound reform to regain public trust and support.
"I will, old man." Bill solemnly promised, "I will lead NASA out of this predicament and regain our glory."
The old gentleman nodded, a glimmer of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Of course he wanted to make Bill a loser, but reality simply did not allow him to do so.
He couldn't find anyone more suitable than the other party to shoulder the blame for this time.
Since the incident happened during Bill's term, Bill must be held responsible to the end.
"So what do you think?"
After hearing this, Bill slowly stated his plan: "We are going to launch human life-support devices to the moon and Mars first."
"And to recruit people who are willing to participate in the trial, the next step will be to send the first batch of immigrants."
Send someone up?
The old gentleman was happy at first, and then frowned slightly. Do they have such strength?
"Bill, I'm asking about your solution, not your fantasy." The old gentleman said unceremoniously.
"Old sir, don't worry, what I just said is achievable."
"We have cooperated with many private aerospace companies such as Space Exploration before. Do you still remember?"
"One of the space exploration companies has conducted many experiments and is now confident that it can send people on board."
The old gentleman looked surprised and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true. Their rocket capacity is about 150 tons, which has enough delivery capability to launch human life-support devices into outer space."
"150 tons? This is much stronger than the White Emperor of China!" The old gentleman's face was filled with surprise.
"So I think our next step is to deepen cooperation with the Space Exploration Company. It makes no sense to deliver the detector alone now."
The old gentleman was silent.
He knows that such a plan not only involves huge risks, but also requires a huge investment of funds, but he also understands that the plan proposed by Bill is currently the most direct way to restore NASA's reputation and re-establish its leadership in the aerospace field. .
"Such a plan is risky." The old man said solemnly, "You need to ensure that every step has been rigorously tested and evaluated, and there can be no mistakes."
Bill nodded to express his understanding: "Yes, sir, I understand the complexity and risks of this plan. We will deepen our cooperation with people from the Space Exploration Company to ensure that every step is fully demonstrated and tested. At the same time, we will also Strengthen communication with the public, let them understand our progress and results, and rebuild trust in NASA."
"Moreover, we have another trick to ensure that this experiment can proceed smoothly."
The old gentleman frowned and said, "What is it?"
“Brain-computer interface.”
“What does brain-computer interface have to do with this?”
Bill smiled and explained: "Old sir, brain-computer interface technology plays a vital role in this plan."
"Although our goal is to send humans to Mars, the human factor is always the most critical and complex in the entire process. Brain-computer interface technology can help us better understand the physiological and psychological status of astronauts and ensure that they Maintain optimal condition during long-duration space travel."
"Specifically, the brain-computer interface can monitor the brain waves, emotional changes and physical conditions of astronauts in real time. Once any abnormalities are found, we can take immediate steps to intervene."
"More importantly, this technology can also be used to improve astronauts' cognitive abilities, reaction speed and adaptability, so that they can cope more calmly when facing unknown space environments."
"China now has artificial intelligence, but artificial intelligence will always have its limitations."
"But ours is different. We directly control people."
After hearing this, the old gentleman's brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded to express his approval of Bill's idea.
He said: "Brain-computer interface technology is indeed a potential field. If it can be applied to space exploration, it can indeed improve the success rate of missions. However, this technology is not mature yet, right?"
"The neural network company under Mark has been doing experiments for many years, and he ensures that the current technology is available."
"As long as our people can go up, won't the Apollo issue be solved?" Bill told the content of the call he just received.
The old gentleman nodded, finally satisfied.
They are the boss in the aerospace field, and no one can take away this position!
As long as the technology is available, he has no control over whether it will cause harm to the human body.
As a leader, he knows very well that if we want to advance science and technology, we must make sacrifices.
"Okay, you go ahead and do it." The old gentleman said, "But remember, this is your last chance. If you fail again this time, then..."
He didn't say anything, but Bill understood the meaning. He bowed deeply, then turned and left.
At this moment, the Chinese people are celebrating.
Because Bai Di is about to return.
At this moment, the land of China is immersed in a sea of celebration, and countless eyes are focused on the sky, waiting for that exciting moment - Bai Di is about to fly back to Blue Star from outer space.
As night falls, the stars twinkle in the sky, as if they are dancing for the return of the White Emperor.
Suddenly, an object with a deliberately flashing light pierced the sky. It was not a meteor, but the trajectory of Bai Di. It was like a silver lightning, cutting through the darkness and speeding towards the earth.
The White Emperor gradually becomes bigger and bigger, and its outline becomes clearer and clearer. It is like a bright pearl, shining in the night sky!
The control center on the ground entered a tense countdown stage. Every number touches the heartstrings of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
"Three, two, one!"
As the final countdown ended, Bai Di landed steadily on the predetermined landing site.
The inductive force field driving device emitted a faint blue light, guarding Bai Di's safe landing.
There was thunderous applause.
The staff on the ground acted quickly. They drove towards Baidi. After setting up the corridor bridge, they led people to nervously and orderly lift Ji Hao and Wang Ying out because they were in space. After staying for five and a half days, the two of them felt uncomfortable after returning to Blue Star.
The legs cannot stand immediately.
The surrounding staff were busy and orderly. They provided necessary medical examination and care for Ji Hao and Wang Ying. At the same time, a helicopter was on standby at the landing site, preparing to send them to the hospital for further examination and recovery.
At this moment, the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people also relaxed as Bai Di landed smoothly.
On the screen in the control center, people saw the figures of the astronauts in the cabin. They smiled and waved to the people across the country. At this moment, all the hard work and dedication became worth it, and all the waiting and expectations were answered.
The return of Bai Di is not only a successful space mission, but also another brilliant achievement for China's aerospace industry.
It proves China's strength and status in the aerospace field, and also inspires more young people to devote themselves to this great cause!
Tonight, the Chinese people cheer for the return of the White Emperor and are proud of the strength of Chinese researchers!
Luo Yao and others had just finished their meeting.
After the Luoyao people left, Lao Zhou stopped Shan Xing.
"Do you think those blue lights are related to the previous meteorites?"
Shan Xing heard this and said seriously: "We have tested the composition of the meteorite, and part of it is indeed similar to the lunar soil brought back. In addition to molybdenite, there is also natural rhodium iodide."
"Especially the latter, natural rhodium iodide does not exist on Blue Stars."
"Then it can be concluded that meteorites come from the moon?"
"We haven't made an accurate determination yet, but it must have something to do with the moon."
"Is that meteorite still moving now?"
"Yes, but very little."
After Shan Xing finished speaking, Lao Zhou was silent for a while, raised his head and said, "Don't let Gong Luo know about this, and strictly prohibit Gong Luo from going to the moon."
When Shan Xing heard this, he hesitated: "But the attraction of the moon is so great, it's impossible for Luo Gong not to go up there."
Lao Zhou stared at Shan Xing and said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't ask you to stop him forcefully!"
"The next step on the moon is exploration and mining. Why don't you let him find a way? Do you still need me to teach you about this?"
"Chief, do you mean to use scientific research to trap Luo Gong so that he has no time to go to the moon?"
"I didn't say anything." Lao Zhou looked innocent.
Shan Xing:......
He suddenly knew clearly that he was going to take the blame.
After two days of rest, the space center held a commendation meeting.
At the meeting, Luo Yao received an aerospace merit medal and the title of "Aerospace Hero".
The aerospace meritorious service medal is generally divided into the aerospace meritorious service medal, the aerospace meritorious service medal of the first class, the aerospace meritorious service medal of the second class, and the aerospace meritorious service medal of the third class.
As the highest-level aerospace medal, the leaders felt guilty after awarding it to Luo Yao.
The miniaturized nuclear fusion device cannot be made public yet, which results in Luo Yao being treated according to the aerospace system.
But in this way, it seemed like they had treated Luo Yao badly.
Although these two awards represent the country's recognition of Luo Yao, they cannot fully reflect his value and contribution.
Academician Shu, who was in charge of awarding the awards, was about to say something to comfort Luo Yao. Who knew the next second, someone who appeared at the venue shocked him.
He never expected that the secretary of the big boss would actually come.
All eyes were focused on him.
I saw him walking towards Luo Yao holding a box.
"This is a jade that the big boss specially found for Luo Gong, a master in the jade world. The boss said that you are probably tired of seeing ordinary trophies and medals, so this time we have something different."
Luo Yao opened his eyes slightly and took it in confusion.
"It's actually the work of Master Song. As a master, Master Song hasn't carved jade in person for a long time. Mr. Luo, let me open it for you." Shan Xing stepped onto the stage and helped Luo Yao open the box.
The next second the box was untied, everyone sighed, and the sounds of exclamation kept coming and going.
It was a ruby in the shape of a red bird, shining brightly under the light, as if there really was a red bird spreading its wings and about to fly. The fine carving and the vivid shape all showed the profound skill and ingenuity of the carving.
Damn, this treatment is simply outrageous!
The leading figure in the jade industry across the country personally carved it, and the top leaders specially sent people to deliver it. There was really no one left in the queue!
They felt sorry for Luo Yao before and felt that his treatment was low this time, but now they just want to feel sorry for themselves.
But Luo Yao didn't express the same exclamation as everyone else when he looked at the jade.
He saw that the carving technique was very clever and that the carving was valuable, but he was not naturally fond of these things.
"Gong Luo, don't you like it?" The secretary had been observing his expression and suddenly realized something was wrong and asked quickly.
"It's not that I don't like it."
"So do you like it?"
"It's not like I like it either."
The secretary felt like she was about to cry.
Why is Academician Luo more difficult to figure out than the big leaders?
"There is another news. In order to allow you to do scientific research freely, the leader will order the expansion of your Santu Industrial Park. If you have any needs, please tell me."
Luo Yao became interested when he heard this.
Santu Industrial Park expands?
That's great, it saves him a lot of trouble!
"I want all the research institutes of the Luo Research Society to move to the industrial park. This will make it easier for them to communicate with each other."
"It's also convenient for me to keep track of their progress."
This...the last sentence is the key point, right?
"Okay, no problem." The secretary didn't dare to say anything more and quickly wrote it down.
After the commendation meeting, Luo Yao asked the captain of the guard to send the jade carving of the red bird back to his home.
Luo Yao was about to return to the Military Research Institute, but unexpectedly Shan Xing stopped him.
"Gong Luo, how have you rested these two days?"
Luo Yao looked at Shan Xing warily.
"President, you suddenly asked me about rest. Do you want to arrange work for me?"
Shan Xing, who was exposed, smiled uncomfortably and said, "Let's go, it's rare that we are free now, let's go get something to eat."
Luo Yao agreed.
According to their status, it is impossible to go out to eat.
Shan Xing took Luo Yao to a high-end restaurant inside the space center.
The big TV in the restaurant was playing the news at this time.
"According to the latest news from NASA, they will not make any response to the Apollo incident. They believe that time will tell everything."
"In addition, they will send several 20-ton human life-support devices to the moon and Mars to ensure that the first batch of immigrants can fully guarantee their lives there."
"These human life-support devices use the most advanced technology and materials and can operate stably in the extreme environments of the moon and Mars. They will provide the first immigrants with necessary oxygen, water and food, and also have waste processing and Energy regeneration function.”
"Currently, NASA announced that it has found the first batch of immigration candidates."
Luo Yao:? ? ?
"Why do I feel like these foreigners are abnormal?"
"Delivery several 20-ton human life-support devices? The first batch of immigrants? Can they really achieve these two goals?"
Shan Xing looked at the TV screen with only one thought in his mind.
Who can think of these things is more crazy than Luo Gong?
