From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

"If you miss it, there's nothing you can do about it."

"We can only go back and follow up on the research, hoping to catch up to the end. Maybe we will make progress in theoretical research. Theory and experiment are two directions."

"Although I missed it, there is still a chance. I also feel very sorry. I should have listened to you and participated in the research instead of coming here..."

Paul Phil-Jones is full of regrets.

What he said was true.

Ding Zhiqiang felt uncomfortable hearing this. He actually didn't care about research. Rather than making a research breakthrough, he cared more about being able to participate in the voyage plan.

Even if he heard that the experiment had discovered the phenomenon of energy transmission, and that the technology being studied was probably related to wormholes, he was just very surprised.

That's all.

The problem is that Paul Phil Jones kept talking and kept talking, which made Ding Zhiqiang feel very depressed. He felt very regretful when he thought about it carefully.

That is a breakthrough related to wormhole technology!

Even if he is just a little bit involved, there will be no problem in winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, and he will be considered the top physicist by then.

Among the theory team members, Ding Zhiqiang has a somewhat low self-esteem. He believes that his ability cannot keep up with Paul Phil-Jones and Helen. He has only won some contribution medals for personal achievements and has not won any major awards.

In comparison, Helen, Chen Mengmeng and he were all students of Wang Hao, and they had already won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their theoretical contributions.

Now when the outside world mentions his name, a special code name always comes to mind——

Wang Hao's most valued student!

Valuing does not mean recognition, nor does it mean excellence. He feels like the most favored 'youngest son' in the family, but in the end he has always been useless.

He was very eager to prove himself, but the embarrassing thing was that he had no personal achievements, and the research he participated in was all with Wang Hao or the team.

This time, Wang Hao was definitely not involved in the experimental discovery of edge-to-edge wormhole technology.

Wang Hao still stays at the Tianjin Aerospace Base.

If you are in the strong S-wave experimental group, because you will participate in both experiments and theoretical demonstrations, you will definitely participate in a lot of work, and your research contribution will be ranked among the top three.

result……

missed!

"Why did you miss it? How did it really become wormhole technology?"

"In the end, I was still hanging out with that guy Korot..."

Ding Zhiqiang thought in annoyance, and suddenly frowned, feeling something was wrong, "Why was I persuaded by Paul? What did that guy say about wormhole technology? Was it Teacher Wang who told him?"

"The problem is, Teacher Wang also knows that I lied to him and said that the research is wormhole technology, so..."

"Maybe there is a possibility that Teacher Wang is still deceiving him?"

"yes!"

"So that's it!"

Ding Zhiqiang felt that he had figured it out. There was no such thing as wormhole technology. Maybe the experiment really made a small discovery. It was just that Teacher Wang hoped that Paul could help with theoretical research, so he exaggerated the experimental findings.

So he doesn't need to do anything at all, just ignore Paul Phil Jones.

Thinking of this, Ding Zhiqiang suddenly felt much more relaxed, but he still couldn't help but think... what if?

Should I think about it carefully?

"Spatial Wave Theory..."

"Using the spatial wave theory to explain the problem of energy penetrating force fields, maybe we should start from the consistency of the waves?"

"Or there is some kind of phenomenon that causes space fluctuations to be at the same frequency as energy. Is this related to the existence of the annihilation phenomenon itself?"

Ding Zhiqiang thought about a lot of content carefully, and continued to think deeply about various possibilities.

When Paul Phil Jones asked, he said completely without energy, "Paul, you still need to solve such a difficult problem!"

"I don't understand the space fluctuation theory. This theory was proposed by you."

"Teacher Wang trusts you and gives you this job. Come on!"

Paul Phil-Jones was very happy to receive the affirmation. He patted Ding Zhiqiang on the shoulder and said, "You are right, this is too difficult for you."

"I must think about it seriously..."

…

the other side.

Thousand Falcon 2 successfully landed at the designated location, less than 200 meters away from Bird 7.

The screen of the main control cabin of the Tianhang spacecraft can receive the image information from Thousand Falcon 2 and Bird 7 immediately, and the movements of Wang Hui and Du Junsheng can be seen on the screen.

After completing the login of Thousand Falcon 2, Du Junsheng stepped out of the spacecraft wearing a spacesuit. He first jumped twice on the spot to feel the weak gravity of Europa.

Afterwards, he helped Wang Hui get off the spacecraft.

Wang Hui was in the front row of the cockpit of Thousand Falcon 2. It was relatively difficult to get out of the cabin wearing a spacesuit.

The landing work entered the next step of sampling. Du Junsheng moved out several prepared equipment, first collected air and soil samples, and then controlled the landing vehicle to move forward slowly.

They hope to collect samples of Europa's surface ice.

These ice layers are produced by the eruption and freezing of groundwater, and many of them combine with surface soil and rocks to form very hard frozen soil.

The landing site of Thousand Falcon 2 is surrounded by soil and rocks, and it is not easy to grow ice with high water content.

Wang Hui always did some incidental work. For example, he found a national flag and planted it on the ground, and the spacecraft's camera took pictures.

Then he moved the large rover out of the spacecraft. The remotely controlled rover found the Bird 7 and opened the external power interface cover of the Bird 7.

Bird 7 does not have anti-gravity equipment and cannot rely on the Hall thruster to return to the spacecraft. It can only stay on Europa.

However, the battery device of Bird 7 is still usable and can last for more than a month.

During this period, the large-scale exploration vehicle can use Bird 7's power supply to maintain high power and quickly conduct detection work on the surface of Europa.

As time goes by, the battery device of Bird 7 will gradually become unusable, and the power will be continuously reduced by environmental influences.

Large-scale exploration vehicles can only deploy their own rows of solar panels for charging.

At that time, the probe vehicle will have insufficient power supply, and it may only be able to travel for more than ten minutes after being charged continuously for dozens of hours.

After Wang Hui's busy work was over, Du Junsheng's work was also over. What is exciting is that he successfully found the ice sample one kilometer away, and dug out an entire mixture of ice and frozen soil to collect it.

At this point, the login work is over.

Du Junsheng first helped Wang Hui return to the cockpit, and then boarded the spacecraft himself.

After reporting to the main control module of Tianjin Airlines, they received the 'return' order. Thousand Falcon 2 started the propulsion device, slowly floated from the ground, and continued to accelerate to a high altitude, and gradually disappeared in this area. A land where no human has ever set foot.

Ground control center.

Wang Hao has received the news that Thousand Falcon 2 has returned to the spacecraft, which also means that the Europa landing plan has been a complete success.

The Europa landing plan is the most important part of the voyage plan.

After successfully completing the landing plan, the spacecraft also began preparing to return to Earth from Jupiter. The plan has achieved staged success so far.

There were cheers in the ground control center.

"It worked and everything went really well."

"They also successfully collected ice samples, which is really meaningful!"

"I really hope to see the spaceship return soon. It feels weird that we don't have a spaceship here, although I know the spaceship is on Jupiter..."

"Jupiter is so far away!"

"It seems that we still need to build a second spaceship. There is only one spaceship. I'm really worried..."

Zhu Qiming reported to Wang Hao, "The communication with the spacecraft is normal. We are receiving the video data. It will be completed in two hours."

"There are already people editing it. Are some of it going to be handed over to the TV station as planned?"

"do it according to plan."

Wang Hao nodded and said, "This has been planned and I have greeted the leaders. It is also a good publicity opportunity."

He added, "Landing on Europa is a matter for all mankind."

soon.

The ground control center received all the video data and cut a part of it and sent it to the TV station.

The reason why the video needs to be cut is because it may involve some scenes of confidential technology. It is okay to play it in the spacecraft, but if you want to send the scene to the TV station, it will be transmitted to the entire network.

Some professionals can conduct careful research based on some fragments of the screen and may find some content related to confidential technical information.

Also, the video has some shots that don’t quite fit.

For example, Wang Hui actually ate melon seeds for more than ten minutes before boarding Qian Falcon 2. He used this method to relieve his nervousness.

When Wang Hui stepped off the Thousand Falcon ship, he almost fell off the ship. He looked quite embarrassed, and similar scenes were cut.

Of course, the picture still looks very coherent, and it cannot be seen that it has been edited.

When the ground control center sent the video to the TV station, it did not directly package the video and send it there, but connected the TV screen in the name of live broadcast.

First Media got the news two hours in advance and immediately released the news on various channels.

Soon, other media outlets got the news and spread the word.

"First Media will connect the spacecraft and broadcast the landing on Europa live."

"The Earth is about 680 million miles away from Jupiter. The live broadcast will be delayed by about an hour and will officially start at 4 p.m...."

…

Amid the expectations of many people, Media One’s live broadcast officially started.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was the spacecraft, and then the large cabin and two Thousand Falcon spacecraft appeared in front of the camera.

The host also explained in a timely manner, "The SpaceX spacecraft has completed its exploration of Europa ahead of schedule. They sent the Bird 7 spacecraft and found a suitable landing site."

"The next one to go on the expedition will be the Thousand Falcon 2 spacecraft, which is the spacecraft on the left side of the screen."

"This spacecraft is an anti-gravity spacecraft manufactured by the space agency. Using anti-gravity, superconducting batteries and Hall propulsion technology, the Thousand Falcon spacecraft can escape the gravitational influence of the planet and fly freely into space."

Live broadcast is not about telling stories, and the pictures will not follow the host's introduction.

After the host introduced the Thousand Falcon spacecraft, he saw several people wearing spacesuits walking out of the hatch, and the people in the front row shouted something towards the spacecraft.

Soon, the cabin opened outwards.

Thousand Falcon 2 sprayed blue light downwards and slowly left the cabin and flew outside.

When the screen turned around, it changed to the perspective of Thousand Falcon 2. The camera was approaching Europa, and the huge and shocking Jupiter became the background of the camera.

At this time, the host realized that it was not a live broadcast, but a video of the flight. At the very beginning, the astronauts had already boarded the Thousand Falcon spacecraft, instead of the regular "boarding of expedition personnel."

He had to quickly move to the next step and introduce Wang Hui and Du Junsheng who were performing the mission.

Wang Hui is the focus of the introduction, because Wang Hui piloted Thousand Falcon 2. As you can see from the camera footage, Thousand Falcon 2 flew very steadily. After flying three times around Europa, it slowly landed on the ground. .

The video is not continuous, but is a combination of clips, lasting only ten minutes. The biggest shock in the process is that one is the very huge Jupiter in the background, and the other is the water column on the surface of Europa.

The huge water column looks shocking, and it also makes people know that the surface environment of Europa is far from friendly.

After the Thousand Falcon spacecraft landed on the surface of Europa, it officially entered the 'live broadcast' stage.

At this time, you can see that there is no "cut angle" in the picture, and everything is unfolded through the lens of Thousand Falcon 2.

Wang Hui stood in front of the camera holding the national flag, and then used equipment to plant the national flag on the ground.

Another astronaut, Du Junsheng, had a more complicated job. He moved several pieces of equipment and a small landing vehicle, and began to control the landing vehicle to move forward.

The host also began to introduce Du Junsheng.

Du Junsheng's resume is very gorgeous. He is a scientific and technological worker who specializes in micro-crystal research. He has experience working on the Huahua Space Station. He performed very well in aerospace training and was selected to become an astronaut to land on Europa.

Under a lot of attention, Du Junsheng was seen constantly controlling the landing vehicle and personally using the equipment to collect samples.

He loaded the collected samples into the storage space of the spacecraft, then controlled the landing vehicle to return, took out the square objects from under the landing vehicle, and put them into the spacecraft.

Then, he made an OK gesture towards Wang Hui.

The audience in front of the TV looked confused and didn't know what the interaction between the two meant. However, the host got the news and said with surprise and information, "We just saw that Du Junsheng successfully completed the ice sampling." mission, they successfully completed the collection of all samples!”

"Well done!"

"Next step, Thousand Falcon 2 will return to the spacecraft..."

"By then, the spacecraft's journey to Jupiter will also end and its journey back to Earth will begin!"

With the host's introduction, the live program has come to an end.

Although the main content of the live broadcast was still the process of landing to collect samples, it also took nearly two hours. There were too many attractive contents, including the surface environment of Europa, seeing the hugeness of Jupiter up close, and astronauts on Post-login activities, etc.

The most important thing is that mankind has completed the first exploration of the Earth and Moon exoplanets.

Starting today, human footprints have been left on the land of another planet, which also represents a leap-forward progress in human exploration of the universe.

Many people are praising the greatness of the voyage plan and the importance of the exploration of Europa.

At the same time, a large number of scientific research institutions have also taken the initiative to contact the relevant departments of flower growers, hoping to have the opportunity to obtain Europa samples.

Even if there is only one gram of sample, it is very worthy of study, especially the ice sample that is considered to possibly contain life, is even more attractive.

Water is the source of life.

There is a large amount of underground water beneath the rocky layers of Europa, which may contain life.

If there is life in the groundwater, evidence of life may be found in the ice and frozen soil formed when the groundwater erupts from the rock layer.

Of course, everything still has to wait for the spacecraft to return.
