The End of Technology - Chapter 253 Early Warning System
Of course, Dupontler also knew that it would be unreasonable to say that they got nothing. Throwing out a lot of money will eventually make a difference.
For example, they have at least several ferry boats. Currently, they can only operate routes from the earth and the moon to a few large scientific research and tourist ships. In the future, when the moon develops, it is impossible to say that they will be able to operate future earth-moon passages.
In addition, if you can join the Future Space Transportation Safety Management Committee this time, you can intervene in more waterways. After the outer space mineral mining technology matures, it will not be a big problem to earn some hard-earned money with shipping lanes and extraterrestrial mineral mining technology.
After all, it’s just a little bit that leaked out from between people’s fingers.
The only motivation that can keep people going is probably the endless imagination that space brings to people.
Even if there are currently 1.6 billion people in China, and even if there are 1.8 billion people in the future, they will not be able to eat the entire starry sky. As long as Blue Star’s second position is stabilized, dormant, and silently waiting, there will eventually be a chance to rise again.
What is frustrating is that after all, some people are not dormant enough.
These days, people’s hearts have long since dispersed, and it’s hard to take care of my little brother. It’s just that there are still people who will help to say a few words of justice out of habit. But even if it was just that, the other side was actually unwilling to endure it. What’s even more tragic is that he had to bite the bullet and accept the request from the other side.
It’s frustrating, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
He still remembers what he said to him ten years ago: Invincible is so happy. He had experienced that pleasure, but it had been too short. It was so short that he almost couldn’t remember what it was like back then. The only memory left behind was probably that when they wanted to find trouble, they would at least find a high-sounding reason first, so now they just skip this step?
After thinking for a long time, he casually connected a telephone channel.
“John, I would like to request the Lunar Management Committee to convene an emergency standing committee tomorrow. The topic of discussion is that the proposals made by representatives of South Korea and Japan in previous meetings are contrary to the previously signed United Nations Joint Space Development Agreement, and it is recommended to cancel the two countries’ lunar operations. The management committee recommends discussing qualifications.”
“What? Mr. Dubonle, did I hear you correctly? Why?”
“Because we need to have a say in the future Joint Space Transportation Security Investigation Agency, and this is the condition offered by the Chinese. In fact, I can understand the Chinese people’s thinking. They can allow us to have a certain say, but obviously they We cannot be allowed to speak louder than they tolerate. You have crossed the line this time, John.”
“But……”
“There is nothing wrong. We all know that the moon base is conducting nuclear fusion experiments, and we can even see the dawn of success. But so what? Without the spacecraft provided by the Chinese, even if we have a large and complete spacecraft on the moon base, we can even mine helium-3 without any obstacles, but can we transport those resources out smoothly? Don’t be blinded by the benefits that are out of your hands. The benefits that can actually be grasped in our hands at this time are the most credible. of.”
The other person hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a positive reply: “Okay, Mr. Dupont, as you wish. But I think you should know that with our current control, if we need someone to speak for us again, Probably no one will be willing to speak out.”
“So who should be blamed for this? Mr. Nzosi? I know that you are a very thoughtful person and you are also very dissatisfied with the status quo. But please remember that when the basic base is not as good as others, any test against the strong bottom line will You’re committing a crime against yourself. Of course I know you won’t listen at all.”
Having said this, Dupontler closed his eyes, and after seeming to weigh it for a moment, he continued: “Actually, I know more than you think. I know that you have been persuaded to join the organization that will be glorious again. I even know that This organization opposes all of our ideas. You even think that we are pursuing a policy of appeasement for our own selfish interests and taking away everything that should belong to you and everyone…
Dupont said quietly, not paying attention to the face of the person on the other side of the phone who had turned livid, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.
“Look, we know much more than you think, much more than you join that unknown organization. This is the truth of the world. Things that you think are very confidential are in the eyes of real big shots. There’s no hiding it. But do you know why no one talks about it?”
After the question was raised, it was obvious that Dupont had not thought about the other person’s answer at all. He gave the answer without even leaving the person room to think.
“Because we also hope that you are right! Because you are still young, maybe your ideas can lead to a different path, or a better path. After all, history is created by people, we just didn’t expect you To be so – naive, well, I should say stupid.
You have no idea where China’s strength lies. Is it just those spaceships in the sky? Just three bases on the moon? Is it just the Mars terraforming plan you saw? You don’t understand China at all, and the things that can be shown to you on the surface are not the real trump cards. What you can’t see is the real fear. Do you understand now? “
After saying that, Dupontler hung up the phone without giving the other party time to respond.
It can be seen that getting angry is a good thing for physical and mental health. After hanging up the phone, Dupontler looked obviously much more relaxed.
The next step is easy work, just send a ship to the moon to pick up people.
etc……
Dupont suddenly felt that he should go there in person.
After careful consideration, Dupontler made another call: “Ronnie, I’m going to the moon base. Prepare the Alexander spacecraft for me. Well, I’ll rest on the ship.”
…
The moon, the first scientific research base.
Chen Xi is packing personal belongings in the dormitory.
For a girl her age, the most objectionable thing about life on the moon is not the gravity level that is completely different from the earth. In fact, there are gravity facilities in the base, which can basically be consistent with the earth; nor is it the annoying time difference. The main reason is that this land is too desolate.
If you want to leave the base, you have to wear bulky protective clothing. Even so, there is nothing in the square outside the base, not even a sculpture. What probably left a lively and cheerful little girl speechless the most was that the lunar base was not connected to the earth’s civilian network.
To put it simply, unless you use the base’s equipment, you can’t even use holographic technology to report that you are safe with your family on Earth. She cannot experience those beautiful apps on her personal computer, whether they are short videos or games, or heart-breaking novels, or her favorite TV series.
The most annoying thing is that even things downloaded to the cloud disk in advance cannot be used.
It is indeed an embarrassing thing to say. After the higher-security personal cloud disk has completely replaced the previous device hard disk, personal smart devices are no longer equipped with local storage functions. This also directly leads to places like the lunar base. In addition to being connected to the large scientific research brain of the lunar base to output auxiliary results, personal computers have completely lost their entertainment functions.
Anyway, in Chen Xi’s opinion, the words “playing chess” and “entertainment” with Zhinao have nothing to do with each other. She couldn’t understand why the scientists at the base could play chess with Zhi Nao all day long on their days off without feeling bored. Moreover, several people can happily comment on who is the bad chess player while drinking beer.
Such a life is so boring, but these people can never tire of it. In short, Chen Xi has made up his mind not to come to the moon base again.
If the instructor still wants her to come, then she will cry to Director Ning.
Well, that’s it.
Although various thoughts were running through his mind, Chen Xi’s hands and feet were very nimble. All items were quickly packed away.
In fact, there is nothing.
Although the lunar base is boring, the base has a constant temperature design. A single piece of clothing paired with a white coat from the base is enough every day. There is also a special cleaning robot. Changes of clothes are thrown into a specific machine and dried directly. Bring it to the room. So you don’t need to bring extra clothes. No matter how nice you look, no one here will care.
All in all, this is a paradise for socialites and lazy people. Apart from not being able to watch TV shows and play games, and having to research countless ores every day, there are really no other shortcomings.
“Ding……”
There was a beep from the personal computer. Chen Xi raised her hand and looked. The ship to pick her up had arrived and was waiting at berth No. 3.
This time arrangement is quite good. Generally speaking, it only takes about two hours to get from the moon to the Wu Gang’s permanent orbit. Then you only need to wait for the Wu Gang to pass by and take the ship in. By this calculation, she would be able to return to the Chinese landing point on Earth before about three o’clock in the afternoon.
Thinking of the bustling scene at the landing site, the various specialty snacks, and the various technology gift shops all over the street, Chen Xi felt that life was beautiful when compared with the extremely boring life at the lunar base.
After quickly packing up his things, Chen Xi walked out of the dormitory and walked to the boarding point at berth No. 3 as prompted by the system.
After completing the procedures as required by the base, we boarded the guidance module. Soon the guidance module began to rise and dock with the spacecraft.
Because it was a ship specially sent to pick her up, there was no one else in the guidance cabin, so there was no need to wait.
Soon the spacecraft docked successfully, and Chen Xi walked out of the guidance cabin, a little surprised.
The standard of the ship that came to pick her up this time seemed to be a bit higher.
The guidance area and disinfected air shower before boarding the ship are not only large, but also extremely luxuriously decorated.
Dragging my luggage into the air shower room and arriving at the reception hall, I was surprised to see a little old man.
“Uncle Lao Du? Why are you here?” Chen Xi was obviously surprised.
“Well, I came here specifically to pick you up.” Dupont Le said with a smile.
“Um… Well, my research at the lunar base is classified as Class I confidentiality. You can’t try to trick me just because I’m young. I’ve received special confidentiality training.”
Dupontler was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, “Ahem, actually I’m not interested in these scientific research progress, and I promise not to trick you. Okay, I’ll take you to the lounge first, and the spacecraft will start immediately.”
“Then it’s agreed, let’s go.”
…
Soon Chen Xi sat in the lounge, and the spacecraft had officially entered the channel and sailed smoothly. After passing the gravity zone, a table full of drinks and snacks that could not be seen in the lunar base was placed. The most important thing is here Large screens can already be connected to civilian networks.
Except for the fact that there was an old man by her side, which made the little girl feel uncomfortable, everything returned to the rhythm of life she was most familiar with. This is life.
“We still have three hours to arrive at the Wu Gang. By the way, we have already applied for the route from the Wu Gang to the Earth. After arriving at the Wu Gang, we will get the customs clearance procedures and this ship will send you back directly. So as not to have to wait in the airport again. Wait for the boat there.”
After the spacecraft entered the channel, Dupont told Chen Xi another piece of good news.
This can save one or two hours of waiting time on the Wu Gang, which is definitely good news for Chen Xi at least, so the little girl thanked her sweetly: “Thank you, Uncle Du.”
“Haha, you’re welcome. I happen to be going to China to do some things, so I’ll see you there on the way. By the way…”
Before DuPontle finished speaking, Chen Xi’s personal computer suddenly sounded an alarm.
Chen Xi quickly clicked in and took a look, and found that it was a level three warning message sent by the Lunar Base Intelligence Brain. The content of the message also surprised her.
“Level 3 safety warning. The Alexander pontoon you are riding on may have external safety hazards. This warning comes from the intelligent intelligence analysis system. The credibility of the intelligence analysis is level 2. It may cause a risk of level 3. It is recommended to go to the safety cabin immediately. , it is recommended that the Alexandria pontoon operation station accepts instructions and re-plans the channel.”
Okay, level five security alert?
Chen Xi suddenly felt a little dizzy. She had never received such an alarm before. However, I vaguely remember that there are introductions to various danger levels in the base regulations, and the three-level warning is already considered an intermediate warning. It’s just that this warning came out of nowhere.
The third base on the moon has been built. Previously, various types of aerostats shuttled back and forth with various space ships on the moon. So far, I have never heard of any major safety issues with the aerostats used for ferrying. Cause a plane crash or something.
So what is this security warning about? !
Chen Xi raised his head blankly and looked at the little old man opposite.
At this time, the little old man opposite was looking at her in surprise.
“Uncle Lao Du, I received a level three security warning from the base intelligence brain. What about you?”
“Huh?” Dupontler frowned, then looked at his personal computer, and there was no synchronized message yet.
But this is normal. Chen Xi’s level three warning was sent by the Moon Base Intelligent Brain. Dupont Le’s personal computer obviously cannot be connected to the Intelligent Brain base system.
Of course, the more realistic situation is probably that in Zhinao’s view, Chen Xi’s life is more precious than this old man’s.
“No, how come there is a safety warning? The waterway has always been open, right? Didn’t you hear that the waterway was going to be closed before you came here?” Dupont Le asked in confusion.
“Uncle Du, don’t worry about this. The base brain suggests that we enter the safety cabin immediately. There should be a safety cabin on the spaceship, right?”
“Of course, please follow me.”
