Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

But just when Song Xiyun was comforting herself, Ning Chen told Song Xiyun another good news.

And this new good news even made Song Xiyun more excited than the news just now.

"Song Xiyun, when this space mission begins, we will send more than a hundred astronauts to the moon. Among them, Star Technology has about fifty places, and you will be one of them..."

"Really? Then let's talk about it. I will definitely not miss this opportunity again!"

"Don't worry, even if there are not so many places, I will definitely let you go up. The mission of this moon landing is very heavy. Song Xiyun, many of your abilities and experience cannot be replaced by others, and you are one of many experts Among them, the one with the best physical fitness..."

When this matter was mentioned, Song Xiyun couldn't help but laugh.

Just like Ning Chen said, Song Xiyun is indeed one of the few scientific researchers with such excellent physical fitness. Even the physical fitness of some professional astronauts may not be able to surpass Song Xiyun.

If a non-professional astronaut selection contest were really held, Song Xiyun would definitely win the women's category.

"Song Xiyun, the relevant department project team will be established soon. Let's prepare carefully during this period. We will face severe challenges soon."

"Okay, Ning Chen, I will definitely be prepared."

…………

As relevant preparations were put in place, the news was officially announced to the public.

The news that Xia State was about to use the latest nuclear fusion spacecraft, send more than a hundred astronauts to the moon, and establish a scientific research base on the moon immediately shocked the world.

Such an action can be said to have directly raised Blue Star's technological strength to a higher level. It is the first time that humans have conducted large-scale exploration of an alien planet.

Even all previous human lunar landing operations combined were less than one-tenth of the workload of this operation.

"Xia State Space Administration and Xingchen Technology actually want to use nuclear fusion technology on spacecraft... Didn't they just develop this technology not long ago, and they are going to use it in the aerospace field?"

"This is great news for all mankind. In the past, mankind's exploration of outer planets was very superficial, but this time, mankind will really start to conduct in-depth exploration of the moon!"

"If this continues, the entire moon will belong to the Xia Kingdom in the future. However, this is also the rule of human ownership of alien planets. Whoever has the ability to reach those places will have the right to construct there."

People had a variety of reactions to the news, with some excited and others worried.

But no matter what, this is an issue that has attracted great attention from mankind, and mankind is about to enter a new era.

In this regard, the aerospace departments of various countries hope that their country's astronauts can have the opportunity to participate in Xia's moon landing operation, so that they can catch up with Xia's technological development.

The Millennium Aeronautics and Space Administration also had a similar idea. After applying to the Xiaguo Space Administration, they held an internal meeting to discuss it.

"Theoretically, with the help of controllable nuclear fusion power technology, it is indeed possible for them to achieve the feat of carrying a hundred astronauts to the moon at one time. The gap in aerospace technology between us and Xia Guo is really getting bigger and bigger. .”

Over the years, Xia State has been rapidly improving its aerospace technology. Not only did it quickly catch up with the advanced technologies of other countries, it also immediately achieved technological transcendence.

Moreover, the reason why Xia Guo has such high aerospace strength is not just its research and development in the aerospace field, but also a reflection of its comprehensive strength in multiple fields.

In mathematics, Xia Guo solved many difficult mathematical problems and achieved qualitative improvements in subjects such as aerodynamics.

In the field of computers, Xia Guo has created the most advanced quantum computer, allowing people to use more powerful computing power.

In addition, in the fields of superconductivity, materials science, energy, artificial intelligence, etc., Xia Guo is unique in the world. It is precisely because of the joint action of so many powerful fields that Xia Guo's aerospace technology can be To be so advanced.

"Hey... it is almost impossible to surpass Xia Guo's aerospace capabilities now. Let's be more down-to-earth and strive to return to the moon as soon as possible."

Through the two years of research on the Apollo project, they have made many new discoveries. In fact, it is not too far away from America's goal of once again achieving manned moon landings.

"I don't know if Xia Kingdom can accept our astronauts. But we can't put too much hope in this matter. After all, they really have no reason to agree to our request. Unless... we can provide corresponding Under the conditions, go and exchange with Xia Kingdom."

But at this stage, it is indeed difficult for the American Aeronautics and Space Administration to come up with any conditions that interest Xia Guo, because many of Xia Guo's current technologies are completely original, and there is not much to learn from.

At this moment, a man suddenly came to the ear of the Space Administration officer and whispered something.

"Huh? You mean, Guge Company has successfully implemented this technology?"

"Yes, after preliminary testing, this technology has achieved the desired effect. Once the 'Quantum Ghost' launches an attack, we are confident that Xia's quantum cloud network will be completely paralyzed."

"Okay...then let's trust Gu Ge Company again."

The so-called "Quantum Ghost" is a technology that Guge Company has secretly developed over the past few years.

Compared with the "Quantum Trojan", the "Quantum Ghost" has more powerful capabilities. Even all the previous prevention methods for quantum Trojans cannot completely eliminate the Quantum Ghost.

Just like the "ghosts" in the name, they will come back from the dead in the quantum cloud network. Unless the quantum cloud network is completely abandoned, there is absolutely no way to get rid of their erosion.

"Hey, it's really difficult for Guge Company. In recent years, Xingchen Technology has been overwhelmed by the research on quantum computers. It can only seek breakthroughs in other fields."

"Sir, you can't say that. Without the support of powerful quantum computer technology, Guge Company will definitely not be able to complete this research and development. I heard from their staff that they have simulated the strongest quantum computer in Xia State. Even if the computer model cannot produce a computer with the same performance, the accuracy of the simulation is still very high, enough to test quantum ghost technology."

"Well, let's wait and see. I hope they can no longer disappoint us this time. We are not in a hurry to use this technology right away. Let's first take a look at the attitude of Xia Guo Space Agency and Xingchen Technology towards us. , and then decide how to act next.”

…………

At the aerospace base of Xingchen Technology, Ning Chen is working intensively on the project with everyone.

Since the launch of the nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft project, Ning Chen has been staying at the space base for several months.

Although days of high-intensity work are also a big test for Ning Chen, Ning Chen still enjoys this kind of working status, which makes Ning Chen full of a sense of accomplishment every day.

Ning Chen's long-term stay also affected other people in the project team. Instead of complaining because of the hard work, they worked together and hoped that the project would succeed as soon as possible.

On this day, Ning Chen received a message from the Xia State Space Administration, asking for his views on space cooperation with other countries.

"Academician Ning, the American Aeronautics and Space Administration has contacted us, hoping to allow their astronauts to participate in our next space mission. I wonder, Academician Ning, what do you think of this matter?"

Hearing this question, Ning Chen's lips curled up slightly, but he did not directly answer the other party's question.

"I will completely abide by the Xia National Space Administration's point of view on this matter. No matter what you decide, we at Xingchen Technology will not have any objections."

Ning Chen seemed to not want to be involved in this decision, but in fact, Ning Chen was very aware of Xia Guo Space Agency's thoughts.

"Academician Ning, you're welcome. This is our joint project, and Xingchen Technology naturally has a lot of decision-making power in it. Academician Ning's ideas are very important to us, so I still ask Academician Ning to speak freely."

Seeing what the other party said, Ning Chen no longer shied away from anything, so he started to tell the story with confidence.

"In my opinion, this space mission is no small matter. Unless they can come up with conditions that are sufficiently attractive to us, it will be difficult for us to agree to their request..."

Ning Chen's idea was basically the same as that of the senior officials of the Xia State Space Administration, which made both parties feel confident.

"Academician Ning, if possible, what kind of technology do you want them to provide, or what other conditions would we consider accepting their request?"

In fact, cooperation with Millennium Aerospace is not impossible. Earlier, the Xiaguo Space Administration had provided them with some lunar soil samples. Of course, in exchange, they also sent some information on the Apollo project.

But this time, Ning Chen's attitude was very decisive.

"For me now, they don't have any conditions to interest me. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, so don't pay too much attention to it."

Although Ning Chen's attitude was very low-key, the other party naturally understood Ning Chen's attitude.

"Okay, we already understand Academician Ning's thoughts, and we will definitely take it very seriously."

Finally, after some internal discussions, the quota for cooperation with foreign countries in this aerospace project was finally announced.

Several countries that have close cooperation with Xia Guo in the aerospace field have obtained several astronaut quotas to go to the moon.

Of course, there are very important exchange conditions behind this. Unless it is a condition that can impress the Xiaguo Space Administration, they will never be given the green light.

As for the request of the American Aeronautics and Space Administration, it was naturally rejected ruthlessly.

The official refusal reply was very polite. In the reply, he showed great regret and expressed his expectation that the two parties can cooperate in the future.

After receiving the reply from Xia State Space Administration, they naturally did not really believe that Xia State Space Administration would look forward to their cooperation. In fact, the meaning of this reply was far more serious than the literal meaning.

"It seems...Xia Guo Space Agency really doesn't want to cooperate with us."

Compared with the last cooperation, this time the two parties have interrupted the cooperation negotiations before even reaching the stage of negotiating terms. This is a very bad signal.

But thinking of all the despicable things they had done before, Xia Guo Space Agency's reply was already very face-saving.

"If that's the case...then prepare to start the 'Quantum Ghost' project. Even if this technology can be broken through by Star Technology, at worst, neither party will need to use quantum technology in the future."

The scary thing about quantum ghosts is that there is no theoretical countermeasure. Even if Star Technology can find traces of the existence of quantum ghosts, it is impossible to find any way to deal with them.

Of course, quantum ghost technology is not impossible to copy. With the strength of Star Technology, it is capable of copying similar things.

However, the worst result is that humans will no longer be able to use various quantum technologies in the future.

This is an acceptable result for the American Aeronautics and Space Administration, because their quantum technology is relatively far behind and their dependence on these technologies is not that strong.

But this is different for Star Technology. Today's Star Technology already relies heavily on various quantum technologies.

Without quantum technology, Xingchen Technology may even face the risk of paralysis, because if it degrades to the era of supercomputing, many of Xingchen Technology's businesses will be directly unable to proceed.

This is like using the engine of a small car to drive a large truck. It is a completely impossible thing.

In such a situation, one can only reluctantly cut off its huge size to ensure the company's survival.

And by that time, Xingchen Technology will fall directly from its position as the world's leading technology company, and the world's technological landscape will also be rewritten.

…………

At this moment, Ning Chen, who was at the Star Technology Space Base, had no idea that they were going to launch this operation and was still immersed in his own project.

At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly noticed something unusual.

Immediately afterwards, alarm signals appeared throughout Xingchen Technology’s quantum cloud network.
