Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 2526 Detection

The charred heat-resistant tiles were still emitting wisps of smoke, and the Gobi soil where the spacecraft landed had changed color.

The engineering robot, carrying quantum communication equipment on its back, used the old Kyushu method—cable connection—to link with the main control computer, main system, and a bunch of backup and encrypted systems of the Zhurong spacecraft.

This used to be a relatively quick process.

This time, however, the engineering robot that served as a link in the connection did not disconnect quickly. In fact, an engineering robot came out of the carriages of several other vehicles. They worked together to process the data locally before transmitting the information to the headquarters server located underground in Kunlun City through quantum communication encryption technology.

Gu Qing certainly wouldn't greet these three bionic robots on-site in the Gobi Desert.

He sat firmly in his office in Kunlun City, and of course, he wasn't the only one or two people who had made the same choice.

Uncle Sam of America was not working at his office at this time, but had entered an underground bunker that could withstand mushroom bombs. Many wealthy people on Earth also quietly ran to their basement shelters.

In their view, if something were to happen, they should at least ensure that they can live a little longer.

At this moment, the group of paying users living in the Moon Palace complex felt a considerable degree of joy after learning about the situation of some old friends.

After all, they live on the moon. Even if Earth were to become a chaotic world like those depicted in science fiction movies due to an alien virus invasion, they could still remotely control their forces from the moon and stay away from war.

Watching the live broadcast of the Zhurong spacecraft landing by the Kyushu Star Sea Company, an elder of the British royal family, sitting on the sofa in a room in the Moon Palace complex, lightly tapped his thigh with his finger and smiled at the person next to him: "Old Dunm has safely returned to Earth, but Earth may have become unsafe. This opportunist still wants to compete with us for the Moon? A nouveau riche family without any foundation simply cannot endure loneliness like we can."

“You’re right. True nobles possess a resilient spirit. Moreover, there’s an eco-city on the moon. If war breaks out on Earth, the supplies from Moon City One will be enough to ensure our safety for at least five years.”

"Do you think that Kyushu Technology had already thought of this problem, which is why it chose to cooperate with the Great Xia government in order to build such an alien city faster? Otherwise, I think that with Kyushu Technology's overall resources and capabilities, Gu Qing could have spent more time building the lunar city independently."

"Gu Qing himself is suspicious by nature. I suspect that he may not trust anyone. However, he is indeed one of the most outstanding talents in human society in the last few decades. Whether it is his independent scientific research ability or his ability to control and manage these huge scientific and technological projects, he is indeed far superior to others. At least the engineers at NASA cannot compare to him."

"It's a pity that such an outstanding talent has no intention of having offspring. He is very different from people like Marsker."

……

Given that the public spaces of the lunar palace complex are equipped with various intelligent robots providing services and are monitored by cameras, the content and scope of conversations among the people are subject to their own limitations.

Of course, amidst their teasing and jokes, they now all agree that living on the moon was one of the best decisions they ever made.

Time passed by minute by minute.

[Tiangong], [Shennong], and several other AI programs thoroughly sifted through all the data inside the Zhurong spaceship, and finally used some small robots and detection equipment inside the spaceship to conduct a more precise inspection. Only after confirming that everything was in order did they compile a report and submit it to Gu Qing and Li Jian. While reviewing the report, Gu Qing also paid attention to [Xuanwu]'s inspection of other hidden systems and backup energy areas.

In particular, the hardware and software control systems of the three bionic robots have been tested countless times without stopping.

In any case, Gu Qing only had one requirement: if any of these three robots malfunctioned, they should be scrapped immediately.

When the wireless communication devices of the three bionic robots were removed and placed in a special box made of special alloys, lead, and other materials, and the external connection interfaces were sealed, the three bionic robots essentially became "outdated robots" that could not conduct long-distance communication.

Subsequently, life detection robots, modified from medical rescue robots, also joined the "team" of engineering robots and began to test the real conditions of various experimental organisms and bionic robots inside the spacecraft.

Not far away, a special transport vehicle, nine meters tall, had come to a steady stop.

Just when all netizens thought they were about to witness a miracle, the global live broadcast room of Kyushu Star Sea Company went black again.

The screen displayed only a brief message: "[The bionic robot is in stable condition. This Mars landing mission has completed its initial phase. The spacecraft will now transport the robot to Kunlun City...]"

There were no personal reflections, only cold, descriptive text.

This directly triggered a barrage of comments from viewers in the live stream, with all sorts of obscene and inappropriate messages being typed out. However, because these messages could not pass the review system of the Kyushu Entertainment platform, they all turned into gibberish in the live stream.

However, the majority of the comments were congratulations to Kyushu Star Ocean Company.

"With the Zhurong ship able to safely return to Earth, the safety of the three bionic robots is no longer important."

"We look forward to Kyushu Xinghai Company's next manned mission to Mars, and we look forward to ushering in the era of human colonization of Mars!"

"Mars development! What a load of rubbish about Mars colonization! Our Kyushu Star Sea Company isn't a Western company; we don't have that kind of pirate gene."

"If we could build a city on Mars, given the current travel distance and commuting time between Mars and our planet, business trips to Mars, or from Mars to our planet, would be extremely long. A person probably couldn't take that many trips in their lifetime."

"Time flies, and we modern people generally live longer. Maybe in the future we will be able to visit Mars."

"Forget Mars, when will Kyushu Star Sea Company open the public tour entrance to Lunar City No. 1? I want to go to the moon at least once in my life..."

Amidst the online criticism and jokes, the reporter from Xia Hua News Agency diligently worked at the landing site.
