One Planet for Everyone! Building Science and Technology Civilization at the Beginning

After eight hours in the space city, it's time to wrap up the trip.

The watch begins to call all personnel to the assembly hall.

In such a long time, I have been to all the places I should go and experienced many projects.

It should be said that the 20,000 yuan is worth it just to see the scenery, but the time is a little short, and everyone is not very enjoyable.

On the return journey, the plane deliberately flew near the Tiangong, and there are astronauts from various countries working in it all year round.

But now no one would envy them, there are better space cities to stay in, and they go to the crowded and cramped Tiangong. They are really full.

Therefore, the country is also slowly renting some cabins in the space city for experiments, and renting out the Tiangong to some small countries.

The plane was slowly decelerating, entering the atmosphere from the west of Citiland, decelerating with the distance of the entire Pacific Ocean, and even starting a snake-like flight in order to increase the deceleration distance.

After an hour of deceleration and landing, the first space plane HT6001 that flew back was ready to land at the spaceport.

"HT6001, I have found you. Please pay attention to the landing attitude."

"Tower, HT6001 understands, it is expected to land in three minutes."

On the runway on the ground, bright runway lights flickered.

In the sky, several bright indicators of the HT6001 illuminated the fuselage like a fireball.

Getting closer, the sound of a huge engine roared from the sea.

The HT6001 adjusted the nose and lowered the three-point landing gear. The ailerons have also been opened. With a squeak, the landing gear tires on the rear sides touched the ground.

Then after taxiing for 100 meters, the nose landing gear was also lowered.

The speedbrakes on the wings are also erected, and the HT6001 is slowly decelerating.

With a taxiing distance of more than 500 meters, the cumbersome aerospace plane stopped steadily in the middle of the runway, and then went to the parking position from the taxiway.

"Huh, I'm finally back."

"Yeah, it's so exciting going into the atmosphere. I think it's more fun than going into space."

"That is, you don't have the difference between up and down in space. Only after you have gravity, you have a sense of orientation. Unintentionally, the feeling will be increased."

After the plane stopped, everyone took their belongings and left from the arrival area.

At the gate of the arrival area, airport staff are distributing commemorative gifts, one for each person.

A mockup of an aerospace plane with the hull number HT6001 and today's date on the base.

This model was fired for more than 10,000 yuan a few years later, so selling it is equivalent to returning to space at half price.

But it's priceless.

When the planes landed in the spaceport one after another, not all of them came back, and some had a few days of travel, and they had to spend more time in space.

By 11 o'clock in the evening, the spaceport was quiet, only a large number of logistics robots were busy in the hangar, which was for a new round of flights tomorrow morning.

It was the morning at Citi, and the atmosphere at NASA was still tense.

"You sort out the information, I'm going to Congress." A senior NASA official told his staff.

Sooner or later this matter will be exposed, and the pervasive media can always take a lot of money and buy everything they want to know.

All of this must not be stabbed by the media, and if you say that you don't have any countermeasures, then at that time, the pressure will be huge.

So before this, the problem must be left to Congress and Mr. President. According to their personalities, they can always come up with a solution.

Under tremendous pressure, a large number of employees who were left to work overtime got all the materials in one night, and some employees with better writing skills wrote an explanatory document.

A small business jet took off from NASA's base airport and flew directly to HSD. They want to get the materials to Congress by 5 p.m. so they can squeeze into a closed session tomorrow morning.

Just before the plane took off, someone invited reporter N to have coffee in a cafe in Houston.

A middle-aged man with a bearded face was sitting in the cafe, looking out the window from time to time. The coffee in his hand was already cold, not to mention that he forgot to add sugar.

The door of the small cafe was pushed open, the bell hanging on the door rang softly, and a few bored waiters laughed at an older man who came in.

The man saw the bearded man in the corner of the cafe at a glance, and he came over.

Sitting down across from him, he put his clothes on the sofa beside him.

"Robert, how are you doing?" the older man said to the bearded Robert.

"Not very good," Robert's eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was a little sparse. In short, he was very haggard and lonely.

"Is the family okay?"

"Simon, I'm divorced. So..." Robert replied with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, but Robert, we are classmates and friends. There are some things I can't tell you, and I will help you if I can."

"Thank you Simon, did you bring the money?"

"You're asking for too much money, I applied for a long time to get it. If what you provide can't meet the standards, don't say that I don't care about my friends.

face. "

"Don't worry, Simon. Here's a copy of NASA's congressional meeting tomorrow, and you'll be very pleased with it."

"You are really good enough to actually get such a confidential document."

"Don't ask, it's my ability to eat." Robert is a member of NASA's HelpDesk department, and his daily job is to maintain all the IT equipment in the base.

There is a security issue that many people ignore.

In almost all printer, copy and fax machines, there is a hard disk. All historical files will be cached on the hard disk, so Robert does not need to enter any file server or highly confidential computer at all, nor does he need to touch anyone's notebook, he can easily use the printer maintenance method to get all the prints out. document.

The main reason is that Robert has just divorced and has to pay a large amount of alimony and legal fees. According to his salary level, he can directly apply for bankruptcy.

So I can only support myself by selling out a little NASA secrets.

Robert looked around subconsciously, and handed a USB flash drive from the table in his hand.

Simon took it and asked, "It's all inside?"

"Yes, it's all inside. Including all the photos and data files."

Simon took out an envelope from the pocket inside his suit, "It's 30,000 yuan in total, all in cash."

Robert reached for it, but Simon held the envelope down. Simon continued, "Robert, if there are more documents, we will pay a higher price."

Robert pulled the envelope hard, felt the thickness, and estimated that the number was about the same. "No problem, the documents are there, but you have to prepare enough money."

The two left the cafe one after the other, then went out of the door, left and right.

Simon returned to his office, connected the USB flash drive to a laptop with no internet connection, and opened the photos and files inside.

He sucked in a breath of cold air. There were a lot of close-up pictures taken by the Curiosity 2 Mars rover, and the Mars base with the flag of Huagaki, which was taken with a ground-based astronomical telescope.

In only 12 hours, I saw a Mars base grow from nothing to beginning to take shape. It all took only 12 hours, which is horrible.

He wanted to go out immediately to find an astronomical telescope aimed at Mars, to find the Mars base that was still under construction.

Simon closed the notebook, then picked it up and went directly to the office of the branch boss upstairs.

N has stations and branches in major cities. The general manager of the branch is not very powerful, but they can at least talk to the top management.

Simon knocked a few times at the boss's door, "Boss."

The boss was really calling, and he waved to Simon at the door to let him in.

Simon sat in the chair at the desk, waiting for the boss to finish the call.

He handed over the notebook and said, "Boss, you need to apply for a headline position for me."

Jason opened the notebook and saw a lot of photos and analysis files.

After reading it, he pondered for a while, "I'll report back."

Picked up the phone and called the vice president who was close to him. After the two chatted on the phone for a few minutes, Jason told the matter, and the other side agreed immediately. Such good news is not to be hyped, especially the matter between the United States and summer, which will definitely attract many people.

Especially at a critical time when Citigroup is going to have a new president, anything that the current president can take the blame for will have serious consequences for their party.

"Okay, you go back and write the editor's note, we publish the original NASA report."

Simon laughed immediately. "No problem, boss. It'll be over soon."

The morning news and the morning paper the next day featured the NASA document in the headlines.

These NASA officials who had been rushing to HSD overnight didn't even have a good breakfast, and they called back in a fit of rage, preparing to conduct a leak audit on the employees who prepared the documents yesterday.

The whole Citiland suddenly boiled over, what is the situation, am I dreaming? Most people are still skeptical. In fact, many Citizens can't even tell which city the capital of Huayuan is. They are complete geographical idiots.

So in front of their confidence, all other countries' high-tech is copied.

But as time went by, the incidents kept coming out.

Almost all TV stations are inviting guests from the aerospace field to talk about the Huagaki threat.

At this time, it was 11 o'clock in the middle of the night in Hanagaki.

Zhou Lei's cell phone suddenly rang, and he woke up from a half-sleep. He hadn't received a call in the middle of the night for a long time.

"Hey, Old Zhou, guess who I am."

When Zhou Lei heard it, he thought it might be a scam call. When he was about to hang up, the person on the other side of the phone continued: "I'm your high school classmate and your brother Qian."

"Xu Xiaoqian, it's you."
