Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1037 Is this true?
Looking at the three people in front of him, Zhou Rui felt that his brain's thinking speed suddenly reached full speed!
It’s almost time for “Master Time”!

It seemed as if a red word "danger" flashed above my head.

Tong Xin is here too. Was she brought here by Han Ziyin? If you are kidnapped, just blink!
Where is Gan Yuan? It shouldn't be far away.

Wait, the hotel room is cleaned up.

Li Wenqian waved her fair little hands in front of Zhou Rui's eyes: "It seems that this surprise was a success."

Zhou Rui laughed dryly: "That was quite successful."

The entry almost shocked me.

Li Wenqian naturally couldn't ignore the elders, so she turned to Zhou Weigang and said sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Zhou! Long time no see!"

Zhou Weigang's crow's feet smiled again: "Long time no see, Qian, and Ziyin."

Two good daughters-in-law, how great!

He didn't pay attention to Tong Xin and just thought she was Li Wenqian and Han Ziyin's female friend.

Even if he had made a bold guess, he never thought his son would be so bold.
Han Ziyin also stepped forward and said gently, "Not entirely. I am also a researcher, and I want to see the Science Expo."

As if noticing Tong Xin's nervousness, Han Ziyin took the initiative to introduce her: "By the way, this is Tong Xin, also our classmate, from Qinghe No. 1 Middle School."

Tong Xin quickly came up and bent over to shake hands: "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Weigang smiled even more happily. After all, people in Qinghe County were more friendly.

By this time Zhou Rui had adjusted his thoughts and said, "I was still wearing a hat, how did you recognize me?"

Han Ziyin: "It looked familiar. I recognized Uncle Zhou before I dared to confirm it."

This simple "disguise" is not very effective against familiar people, and will be seen through if you stare at them for too long.

At this time, there were people everywhere. The small family recognition scene here had attracted some attention from the people around. Some people were staring at the three beauties, and some were staring at Zhou Rui and Zhou Weigang.

Zhou Rui simply took the initiative to suggest changing places.

It was spying, bah! After chatting for a while, I found out that this "surprise" was arranged by Han Zinyin. The three of them had originally agreed to go shopping together after Tong Xin was done with her Double Eleven shopping.

Later, I had a sudden idea and decided to come to Hangzhou and stay for a few days.

In other words, this crisis is still long!

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, in Florida.

An old house facing the street, with red brick walls, wooden window frames and black handrails. A short staircase of just over one meter leads from the sloping street into the house full of American characteristics, but it will be a bit gloomy at night.

Occasionally, some drunk or high teenagers would pass by, breaking the atmosphere here, but in an unpleasant way.

In the dim room, Hansen, an old white man, was working overtime on the computer. Although he had to go to New York early tomorrow morning, he had no plans to go to bed early.

According to the plan, there will be a grand press conference tomorrow to announce the "Eye of Artemis" lunar exploration plan.

This is a strong request from the new director, and it seems to be an instruction from above. When the "China Science and Technology Expo" on the other side of the ocean attracts attention, it is necessary to hedge some of the impact as much as possible and make a voice that shows that the United States is unwilling to be left out.

Although "unmanned lunar exploration" is not a big news considering the current level of space exploration, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and American space exploration still has some eye-catching features.

Just like a menopausal madam, if she shouts hard enough and dresses boldly enough, she can still attract attention.

This is what the new director planned. The scientific research value of the launch itself is only the least important part. The real matter is how many eyeballs it can attract. Tomorrow's press conference is full of TV show style and L**T elements. The host is said to be a six-foot-tall black beauty with a beard.

I think it will attract a lot of attention indeed.
Feeling a little tired, the old scientist took off his glasses, rubbed his nose, and decided to take a break.
But when I picked up my phone, I realized that I had missed an email a few hours ago.

"Dear Hansen Doyle, it is with great sorrow that we announce that your friend Charlie Duke passed away unexpectedly on November 2016, 11. His family will hold a funeral in a week. We hope you can arrive around noon on the 19th. The address is below."

Hansen frowned and looked at it for a long time. This was a name he hadn't heard for a long time. It took him some time to remember who it was.
After a while, Hansen reacted, opened Google and searched for relevant news.

"Charlie Duke, moon landing astronaut, dies in car accident"

"According to eyewitness reports, Charlie Duke seemed to have lost consciousness before the accident, but the car was still running at a high speed, and finally crashed into a big tree and caught fire. It is suspected that he had a heart attack."

There are also many comments below the news.

"Another astronaut who died in an accident while on the moon. How many of us are still alive?"

"I'm very depressed. I've read his book."

“I feel like someone is trying to cover up something.”

"People who are really capable of going to the moon will appear soon, so they are cleaning up some of the 'old data' and losing it in time, just like other moon landing technologies."

"It's already 2016, and there are still people questioning the moon landing? Do you all have a junior high school education? If it was fake, why didn't the Soviet Union come out and expose it?"

In fact, globally, the voices questioning the moon landing fraud the most are in the United States.

Or maybe this trend was started by the Americans themselves. When did it start?

From the very beginning, since 1969, this has been a widely questioned issue, and believers and non-believers have been arguing for decades.

Of course, there are serious analyses, as well as anti-intellectual and brain-dead ones. There is even a mixture of classic statements such as "Flat Earth Theory", "Technology on the Far Side of the Moon", and "Aliens in Area 52". No matter how many people discuss it or how many years it takes, there will never be a result that can convince everyone.

Hansen ignored the "moon landing hypothesis" that had become numb over the decades and looked elsewhere.

On the page, there are some other recommended news based on user habits and the content being browsed. "France has decided to increase its investment in the aerospace field in the next five years, the budget will increase by 70%, and it will launch more extensive technical cooperation. It has applied to join the 'Clean Space Alliance'."

"At the China Science and Technology Expo, Furui Group announced two technologies that will change the world..."

"The UAE and Saudi Arabia jointly announced that they will cooperate with Taitian Engineering to build a rail platform for the Arab world. The two most powerful crown princes are already on a flight to China."

"South Korea has established a national space agency to fill the gap in this field. It aims to become the world's second largest space power and Asia's first by 2020, and plans to land on the moon within four years."

"The Russian Space Agency said it has begun evaluating the reconstruction of the 'space station'. The new space station will be completed under the leadership of Russia, but it also welcomes extensive cooperation from the international community. In addition, officials urged NASA not to play numbers games and to compensate for the losses caused by the destruction of the International Space Station as soon as possible."

Hansen finished reading the news report in silence, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is really a golden age for aerospace. All countries in the world are paying attention to and investing in it. It has not happened for more than 40 years.
Unfortunately, it seems that the United States is no longer the leader this time.

This space hegemon, which was once invincible and looked down on the world, seemed to have been tripped and tied by something invisible.

After closing the computer, Hansen picked up his phone again and looked at the email.

The fatigue from overtime work has not been relieved, but it has made me even more tired.
After a while, he decided not to sleep today. He got in his car and headed towards the seaside, heading to the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island.

After about an hour's drive, Hansen arrived at this aerospace base that integrates research and development and launch at around two in the morning.

There were few people here late at night, and it was at its quietest. The Kennedy Center is very large, and Hansen's destination was in a research center in one of the areas.

Inside the building, Hansen knocked on the window of the security room, startling the security guard who was eating a donut.

Hansen explained the purpose of his visit. He had the authority to come in and out at any time, but some power switches required keys that only security guards had.

The security guard was quite conscientious in his duties, or perhaps he was too idle at night and wanted to have something to do to refresh himself, so he walked inside with Hansen.

The road was a bit long and dark, so the security guard couldn't help but start a conversation: "Dr. Hansen, I heard that you participated in the Apollo program, right?"

Hansen didn't even turn his head. He had answered this question too many times in his life.

“Yes, it’s my honor to be involved.”

The security guard asked stealthily, "How old were you at the time?"

"26 is old."

"Then you must be a genius! Joining such a great project at such a young age."

Pushing open an iron door, the security guard went to look for the power box with a flashlight, while Hansen stood at the door of the dark space.

After dozens of seconds, the entire space lit up, revealing the full picture. It was about two thousand square meters, which was not big, but still very spacious.

In the center, on the assembly rack, there is a completed large lunar probe.

It has a cylindrical body and a short, curved top cover. It is white all over, about two meters in diameter and 1.7 meters in height.

Compared with Chang'e 3 a few years ago, this one is obviously more technological. It is much larger in size, has a high degree of integration, and a more beautiful appearance. The various detectors and components carried inside also far exceed Chang'e 3 in performance.

To put it bluntly, when the project was first launched, the "Eye of Artemis" was designed with the goal of "surpassing Chang'e 3 in all aspects."

Even in appearance, it is somewhat similar to the Apollo lunar module, which easily evokes some glorious memories.

This is the "Eye of Artemis", the result of Hansen Doyle's hard work over the past decade.

He had been trying to restart the lunar exploration program and making preparations for it thirteen years ago. It was not until three years ago that it was approved due to major changes in the aerospace industry and external pressure.

Completing a space project in three years is already a very fast pace. Hansen worked hard for "Artemis" and put in all his life's learning...
Unfortunately, this lunar probe, which was supposed to be the world leader when it was first designed, has already begun to be despised before it was even launched.

Some things are like people; they become dull not because of themselves but because of the contrast.

Compared with the progress made by the other side, it has already fallen behind before it has even started to shine.

The reason why they were forced to speed up the process, announce it this month, and launch it next month is also related to the fact that it was "not taken seriously."

But for Hansen, this is the greatest masterpiece of his life. No one cares about the "Eye of Artemis" more than him.

Hansen said to the fat security guard, "Thank you. Leave the rest to me. I will probably stay for three hours and will come find you when I leave."

After saying that, he put down his backpack, took out his laptop, and prepared to connect to the "Eye of Artemis".

"PhD!"

Hansen looked back and found that the fat security guard was standing at the entrance about ten meters away, but he didn't leave.

"what happened?"

The fat security guard had a complicated expression, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "The Apollo program, is that true? We really sent people to the moon."

In the empty space, the figure of the fat security guard brought a little echo.

Hansen smiled and didn't hesitate for a second: "Yes, the Apollo program is real."

Then turn around and continue working.

The fat security guard threw a heavy punch.

"I knew it was true!"
