Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 2517 Revealed
Interestingly, after the work was finished, Zheng Feng, a senior commander in Anxi, approached Gu Qing and asked her a mysterious question that often appeared on Gu Qing's personal account by many students.

"Do you think there are aliens on the moon and Mars?"

Faced with this question, Gu Qing did not gloss over it like other science popularization influencers, but instead gave his current opinion with a serious expression.

"That depends on how you define aliens. If you mean people living on other planets, then there are quite a few aliens on our moon, and there might even be moon babies born later."

But if you're talking about extraterrestrial life, based on what we've detected so far, I can tell you that we, the creatures of Earth, are not alone in this world.

Before I came to Anxi, our Zhurong lander's robot, under the remote control of engineers, had already discovered chain-like carbonate microspheres in Martian clay. The δ¹³C isotope ratio of these microspheres was determined to deviate from the range of non-biological origin. Furthermore, our cameras on Mars also captured strip-like geological textures resembling dried-up riverbeds.

Of course, you don't need to worry. We will release some of this information through the Lunar Development Association, and we will conduct more in-depth research and exploration to find traces of extraterrestrial life.

With its military capabilities already sufficient to "defend its homeland," the Great Xia military has never ceased its focus on overseas and extraterrestrial areas.

Moreover, Gu Qing knew that the Great Xia government, including the Anxi military, had researched more than one lunar defense plan, a Blue Star orbital defense plan, and even a solar system defense plan.

Even among the scientists sent by the Great Xia Aerospace Group to live and work in the lunar city, there are more than one scientist and senior engineer who have gone into hiding, changed their identities, and even changed their research results. In addition to doing their job according to their identities, they are also recording and exploring all the data of the moon every day to build a lunar defense system that belongs exclusively to the Great Xia government, and even to develop defense systems for other planets based on this.

Of course, Gu Qing never intended to stop these people from working.

He was willing to cooperate with Daxia Aerospace Group, but he thought that Daxia officials would definitely take this opportunity to fill the cooperative project with other people with their own purposes.

However, this also aligns with Gu Qing's own arrangements for these people.

These elites selected by the Great Xia government are not ordinary people with mediocre physical or mental development.

Allowing these individuals to live for several more years in the low-gravity environment of the lunar city would allow for the collection of more brainwave and other bodily data during periods of intense mental exertion, providing a more detailed database for interstellar navigation.

Although the technology inherited by the Dimensional Empire includes a complete set of auxiliary equipment, just as everyone is now wary of [Xuanwu], Gu Qing is still willing to spend more time collecting and organizing real data on the universe and the humans on this planet in order to develop a localization plan for the technology.

When night fell in Anxi, it was already 11 p.m.

"It gets dark a little later than usual today. If you're not used to it, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some sleep aids or sleeping pills for you."

Gu Qing waved her hand dismissively at the thoughtful reminder from the Anxi base staff: "I've lived in Anxi for quite some time, so don't worry. Besides, I usually work quite late."

Then, Gu Qing went into her lounge.

Anhetang closed the door behind him before speaking, "The room has been checked and no electronic devices with listening or recording functions were found. However, considering that resonance spy equipment does not require electronic components, we still need to be careful."

Hearing Anhetang's reminder, Gu Qing half-jokingly said, "Old An, Anxi is practically your hometown, yet you're more cautious than I am." "Yes, your safety is paramount."

Anhetang had long regarded Gu Qing as a torchbearer of human civilization. He would review these safety details before going to sleep each time to prevent himself from overlooking anything.

Not to mention the rest areas of the Anxi military base, he never let his guard down, even in Xinke District and Kunlun City.

As Gu Qing prepared to rest, the Zhu Rong spacecraft's No. 1 robot, far away on Mars, was conducting an external equipment inspection accompanied by a robotic dog.

The rising sun painted the distant mountains a slightly magical rose color.

When the Martian dust obscured the markings on the equipment in front of it, Robot One paused its work and instead raised the camera on the back of the robotic dog, turning it towards the blue planet—where there was a blue dot.

Reflected in the mask, the bionic eyelashes of Robot One were covered with fine frost, while the helmet display was flashing an impending sandstorm warning.

An engineer at the Kunlun City Aerospace Base Command Center immediately transmitted the photo information to the dedicated data category on the central server.

This section already contains over 100TB of multimedia data, and it continues to grow steadily.

Some of the information that Kyushu Seikai Corporation shares with the Lunar Technology Development Association comes from this source.

Gu Qing did not lie to the senior commanders in Anxi. He did indeed intend to reveal these "little secrets" so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

At the same time, eight engineers, wearing the "Yutu" exoskeleton lunar suits made by Daxia Aerospace Group, were assembling a ring-shaped living module in an extremely low temperature of -180°C.

The living quarters adopt a modular design and use an alloy frame developed by Daxia Metallurgical Group in cooperation with several testing institutions. It is said that the frame can absorb energy through deformation during moonquakes, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment inside the living quarters.

Although Daxia Aerospace Group's current technology cannot achieve the same level of frequent and routine lunar landings as Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, Daxia Aerospace Group has never stopped exploring lunar development after Jiuzhou Xinghai Company opened up cooperation channels.

This experiment outside the lunar city is an important one.

After finishing his work, Tang Yi, a bioengineering expert from the official expert team, remarked in an encrypted voice channel: "Our lunar suit, which is made with Yutu exoskeleton technology, still needs further optimization in the design of its limb movement structure. The lunar suit from Kyushu Technology is lightweight enough, does not affect movement, and has sufficient protective capabilities."

"I've only been out for half an hour, and I'm already panting like this."

After finishing his work, mechanical engineer Zhou Jue explained in the channel: "Our two companies use different materials and equipment technologies."
