All morning, the business minibus carrying Su Zhe and his party wandered along the Tamu Desert.
Everyone ended the call with Zhou Dashi and talked about the new disciplines that would emerge after fully entering space.
While chatting, we came to Penglai Space City.
Zhou Dashu was extremely interested in Penglai Space City.
After knowing the goal of Penglai Space City, he shouted to participate.
While everyone was chatting happily, the business minibus arrived at the location of the exploration team at the edge of the central Tamu Desert.
Arrival time is eleven o'clock in the morning.
Under the guidance of Zhou Dashi, the business minibus stopped directly at the entrance of the resident canteen.
The exploration team's station is not large, with about three hundred people staying there for a long time.
Although the station is small, it has everything it needs, just like the big stations in Tamu Town.
Compared with those large stations, the exploration team station is somewhat special.
Those large stations are responsible for the school, but the exploration team station is responsible for the Jiutian Research Center.
To put it bluntly, this exploration team is directly under the Jiutian Research Center.
Among the more than 300 people in the exploration team, half are employees of the Jiutian Research Center, and the remaining half are seconded from other units in the country.
The purpose of sending an exploration team is to understand the geological rock structure within a fifty-kilometer radius in the center of Tamu Gobi.
Prepare for the future Super Hadron Collider complex plan. After all, the Super Hadron Collider complex is built underground.
The relevant personnel of the exploration team were very enthusiastic about the appearance of Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and their group.
After lunch, Su Zhe and his party visited the accommodation and living conditions of the exploration team station.
After looking around, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were quite satisfied with the location of the exploration team.
Later, in front of the large office building where the exploration team was stationed, Fan Xiaoming held a small meeting with the more than 100 people staying at the station.
It was said to be a meeting, but in fact it was Fan Xiaoming who said some words of encouragement, drew pictures and so on.
Safety comes first, be serious when working, and don’t forget to study while working.
At the end of the day, Fan Xiaoming started to draw a picture, and it wasn't about wages and benefits.
There is nothing to say about the salary and benefits, they are very high.
Let’s not talk about the front-line personnel of the exploration team, but take the logistics personnel stationed in the exploration team as an example. The lowest monthly salary is 100,000 yuan.
Fan Xiaoming was talking about the development of the solar system, and asked the exploration team members to learn more relevant knowledge during their breaks. He also said that when the solar system is developed, they, the explorers, will be the first batch to enter space.
It is said that large-scale development of the moon and Mars will take place within two or three years, so everyone should be prepared.
Fan Xiaoming was drawing the cake seriously, and heard the members of the exploration team being stunned.
After finishing speaking, Fan Xiaoming did not wait for these people to react. After saying hello, he got on the business minibus with Su Zhe and others.
After the business minibus started, the members of the exploration team came to their senses and bid farewell to Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and their entourage excitedly.
The business minibus leaves the exploration team's station.
Zhou Dashi looked at Fan Xiaoming and said with a smile: "Professor Fan! You really know how to joke. I don't think it will be so fast to develop the moon and Mars on a large scale within two or three years."
"I'm not joking, it's a well-founded inference." Fan Xiaoming said seriously.
"This..." Zhou Dashi was a little surprised.
He had always thought that Fan Xiaoming was joking, or describing something that would happen a long time ago.
But now I found that Fan Xiaoming was serious.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "The same goes for you who are engaged in construction. If we say that those who engage in exploration are the first group when developing the moon, then you who are engaged in construction are the second group."
"Okay!" Zhou Dashi nodded seriously, "I want to participate in the development of the moon. I want to build a permanent human settlement on the moon."
"Don't worry, you can realize this idea soon." Fan Xiaoming said with certainty.
The business minibus was driving slowly.
An hour later, the business minibus stopped in front of a high tower.
This tower is a drilling rig.
As soon as the business minibus stopped, more than 100 members of the exploration team gathered around.
These people were extremely excited and shouted questions when they came up.
When will the moon be developed, and when will Mars be developed?
If we go to develop Mars, will we not be able to return to Earth for the rest of our lives?
Obviously, the members of the exploration team here already know what Fan Xiaoming said at the exploration team station.
After Su Zhe and his party got off the bus, Fan Xiaoming started drawing pie again.
After all, going to the moon will only take an hour or two, and going to Mars will only be a matter of days.
He also talked about building some kind of "metropolitan area" within the solar system.
Everyone looked confused when they heard this!
After Fan Xiaoming finished speaking, under the introduction of the exploration team staff, Su Zhe and his party visited the drilling and exploration team's working environment.
Afterwards, the exploration team staff reported on the exploration results.
For now, the 50-kilometer radius around the center of the Tamu Desert is suitable for the construction of the Super Hadron Collider complex.
After listening to the report, Su Zhe and his party got on the business minibus and left.
At this point, Su Zhe and his party’s three-day visit to the development and construction of Tamu Desert has come to an end.
Next, Su Zhe and his party took a business minibus to the Tamu Town station.
We rested one night in Tamu Town and took the bus back to school with the teachers and students of the school the next day.
The bus was driving slowly.
In the car, Fan Xiaoming continued to describe the process of solar system development.
While talking, Zhou Dashi took out his mobile phone, found a photo and asked Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.
The perspective of the picture is in space, and the picture in the picture is a red light beam connecting deep space and the earth.
"I downloaded this picture from the Internet. This picture came from the Internet. It is said that this picture was taken from the International Space Station." Zhou Dashi asked curiously.
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and others took a look and understood what was going on.
Zhou Dashi thought for a while and then said: "The news from the external network said that this is a laser weapon we installed on the synchronous orbit. Are we so strong? Install the laser weapon on the synchronous orbit."
According to his understanding, the femto-level lenses were created by people like Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.
If a laser weapon is really installed on the synchronous orbit, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming must know about it.
"I can tell you for sure that this is not a laser weapon." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
Su Zhe and others smiled and nodded.
"It's not a laser weapon, what is it?" Zhou Dashi hesitated for a while and said, "In the past six months, there have been reports of asteroid collisions threatening the earth on the Internet at home and abroad from time to time. Is this true?"
"You ask, should we say it or not?" Fan Xiaoming smiled.
"This..." Zhou Dashi thought for a while and said, "Is it because these things have a high level of confidentiality and you can't tell me? If that's the case, then forget it."
"Your confidentiality level is enough." Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "It's okay to talk to you, but you can only listen to it, and you can't talk to irrelevant people."
"Understood! I'm very familiar with confidentiality regulations." Zhou Dashi said excitedly.
"Let's talk about laser weapons first." Fan Xiaoming explained, "That's not a laser weapon, it's a light-chasing project led by Academician Zhao Guoan of Northwest University of Electronic Science and Technology..."
When Fan Xiaoming was talking, he took out his laptop and showed Zhou Dashi the photos of the Zhuguang Project's space solar power station.
After Zhou Dashi learned this, he looked surprised, "This... Academician Zhao Guoan's light-chasing project verification experiment was successful? I haven't heard of any reports!"
To be honest, he was surprised, very surprised.
He never imagined that the red beam was not emitted by a beam weapon, but by a space solar power station.
"It's not time to make it public yet." Fan Xiaoming smiled.
"That's it!" Zhou Dashi said with excitement on his face, "Then will we soon be able to use clean and cheap space solar energy on a large scale?"
"It is still under experimental verification." Fan Xiaoming replied, "Large-scale use will have to wait for a breakthrough in space transportation capacity. After all, the cost of chemical rockets is too high."
"Yes! I understand that!" Zhou Dashi nodded, "What about the collision of two asteroids uploaded on the Internet?"
"What was uploaded online is basically true!" Fan Xiaoming said.
"Ah! We humans are finished!" Zhou Dashi looked shocked.
"What I said is true that two asteroids are going to collide. As for whether there will be any threat to the earth after the collision, I don't know. The two asteroids..." Fan Xiaoming explained.
After listening to Fan Xiaoming's simple introduction, Zhou Dashi finally understood.
"This...are we humans just resigned to our fate? Can't we intervene in advance?" Zhou Dashi said hastily.
"American Space Agency and European Space Agency intervened, but failed both times." Fan Xiaoming answered with a smile.
"Are we...are we prepared and taking action?" Zhou Dashi asked anxiously.
"Yes, we are prepared, but..." Fan Xiaoming stopped mid-sentence.
His and Su Zhe's cell phones rang at the same time.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming answered the phone with puzzled expressions, and hung up the phone after saying a few words.
Fan Xiaoming quickly operated his laptop, and Su Zhe also took out his laptop.
After a while, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming put their laptops aside.
Fan Xiaoming's expression was strange, both excited and worried. He looked at the other people in the carriage and turned to ask Su Zhe, "Is the National Astronomical Observatory's calculation correct?"
Su Zhe nodded and said, "The result of my calculation is the same as that of the National Astronomical Observatory."
"Hey! This is so frustrating." Fan Xiaoming sighed.
"Yes!" Su Zhe said.
"Have you... encountered something?" Zhou Dashi looked curious.
Zuo Dajun and the five assistants also looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming curiously.
"Well!" Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said, "It's okay to talk to you. Here's the thing. We just received the news, three days ago..."
Three days ago, the National Astronomical Observatory discovered that the trajectory of a long-monitored near-Earth asteroid had changed.
This is a potato-shaped asteroid with a diameter of 110 meters.
It orbits the Earth at an altitude of 330,000 kilometers above the Earth.
Somehow, the asteroid's orbit changed and it flew towards the earth quickly.
According to calculations based on known orbital parameters, the asteroid will hit the earth at 11:10 tonight, and the landing site will be the center of the Tamu Desert.
"Now, all personnel in Tamu Gobi are being evacuated. All personnel must be evacuated before ten o'clock in the evening." After Su Zhe finished speaking, there was a roar in the sky.
Several people looked out the window and saw multiple helicopters flying overhead.
Zhou Dashi, Zuo Dajun, and the five assistants looked shocked.
At this moment, everyone's cell phones rang at the same time.
When everyone saw it, it was a notice from the relevant department. The content of the notice was to evacuate Tamu Gobi in case of emergency, and it was reminded to keep confidentiality.
Just when everyone was stunned, everyone's cell phones rang again.
This time it was no longer a message, but a phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Dashi, Zuo Dajun, and the five assistants were even more shocked.
Subsequently, several people answered multiple calls.
"Hey! This is a big pit!" Fan Xiaoming sighed.
"I think this is too coincidental." Su Zhe said lightly.
After hearing what Su Zhe said, everyone nodded in unison.
"How could this happen?" Zhou Dashi said, "Fortunately! Fortunately! The landing point of the asteroid is not a densely populated area, otherwise the trouble will be even greater."
There is no one in Tamu Desert.
Even now, there are only one million people in the Tamu Desert, and there is no problem at all if they all evacuate at ten o'clock in the evening.
"That's true." Fan Xiaoming nodded affirmatively.
"This... after the asteroid hit, is our super factory still built next to Tamu? The damage from this asteroid won't be too great!" Zhou Dashi said worriedly.
"We don't need to worry too much." Su Zhe reminded.
"Yes! Everything will be fine. If you are lucky, the asteroid will explode, and then we can see beautiful pop rain." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
Among these people, Zhou Dashi was the most worried because he was the only one who did not know the existence of the SS-defense system.
"You guys...I don't think you're too worried. Do you know that I don't know?" Zhou Dashu asked in surprise.
"You don't know?" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Your School of Architecture is fully responsible for the development and construction of Tamu Gobi. You should know something about it."
"You are referring to the two bases next to the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant. Are you talking about the Xuanwu Project?" Zhou Dashi's face was full of surprise.
"Not bad! Not bad!" Fan Xiaoming smiled and nodded, "How much do you know about the Xuanwu Project?"
"Well, I only know that the Xuanwu Project refers to a defense system. My teacher said it is for air defense. Could it be that this defense system can defend against asteroids?" Zhou Dashi looked shocked.
He was aware of the two bases next to the Tabei Lake Nuclear Power Plant and the Taxi Lake Nuclear Power Plant, and was involved in the design of the underground parts.
He was very confused at the time and asked his teacher.
His teacher told him that according to his confidentiality level, he could know something, but there was no need to know.
For this reason, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Not bad! You have guessed this." Fan Xiaoming said in surprise.
Su Zhe smiled and asked Zhou Dashu doubtfully, "That shouldn't be the case. I've seen the list of participants in the Xuanwu Project. You and your teacher are both on the list. How do you know so much?"
"I...my teacher told me..." Zhou Dashi explained.
