Chapter 1655 We are Earthlings (First update, please subscribe)
Facts have proved that as long as France is around to stir up trouble, many things cannot be resolved!
The European Space Research Organization held a meeting to establish an "International Space Agency" to promote international space development. Although scientists from various countries expressed various aspirations for the establishment of an international space agency at the meeting, this aspiration was ultimately shattered due to opposition from France.

"What Europe needs is a space agency owned by Europeans, not one that is controlled by other major powers."

The French representative's remarks seem to make sense. Europe should go its own way, land on the moon and explore space on its own. Why should it be influenced by other major powers?
Due to France's obstruction, the International Space Agency, which had hoped to become "the most important step in human exploration of space", was aborted.

Although Yuan Jialiu was mentally prepared for this result, he was more shocked. He was not shocked that the French would do this, but that you had such foresight.

You are worthy of being called Your Excellency. You have seen through the French people's little tricks and made arrangements in advance.

So Yuan Jialiu immediately held a press conference to express his disappointment.

"We deeply regret the destruction of this great idea of ​​the International Space Agency. We believe that the space industry is not the business of a certain country or a certain continent, but belongs to all mankind. We are willing to cooperate in space with every country on the earth.

Because, in space—we are Earthlings!"

Yuan Jialiu's speech drew applause from reporters. This is the pattern and this is the realm. The French are really too selfish.

As a result, Yuan Jialiu's speech "We are Earthlings" caused a sensation around the world. People satirized the French for their short-sightedness and admired SEA's openness. It even served as an advertisement for Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, attracting many aspiring young people from European countries to come here.

"This is the future!"

Just like the company motto of SpaceX, people believe that this represents the future.

And this future is not conservative, but open, opening its doors to people from all over the world.

However, these are just five words, nice words without any meaning.

For Yuan Jialiu, after launching a propaganda war, he started a new job.

"The most important thing now is to study the lunar soil and rocks we have obtained on the moon, especially the deep lunar rocks obtained from lava tubes. The United States and the Soviet Union only took samples from the surface of the moon. Our samples are unique deep samples, which may bring new progress to our research."

In the office, Yuan Jialiu said to several scientists in front of him.

The lunar rock samples from deep inside the moon are the biggest gain from the "Luna 5" lunar landing. The lava tube is more than 300 meters from the lunar surface. Such deep samples are unprecedented.

"Yes, Mr. Yuan. The lunar samples currently collected by the Soviet Union and the United States are all from the lunar surface. They may have undergone several weathering and mixing processes, so the purity of the samples is not high. The samples in the lava tubes can be the profiles of deep lunar soil and basalt, preserving different periods of magma activities. They can not only reveal the origin and evolution of the moon, but also discover new minerals."

Zhou Zhonghui, chief geologist at SpaceX, said:

"We have discovered many previously undiscovered minerals in the lunar rocks mined in the lava tubes. Some of these minerals have very interesting properties. We are conducting in-depth research on them and may make major breakthroughs."

In fact, this is why the whole world is interested in the lunar soil and rocks obtained by SpaceX. Not only the United States is interested, but also research institutions in European countries. The gains from this moon landing can be said to be very great.

After all, they explored places that neither the United States nor the Soviet Union had ever explored. Scientific intuition told all scientists that major discoveries might be hidden in those deep lunar soil and rocks.

But for all they know, SpaceX is just considering it.

In the following time, Yuan Jialiu talked to them about some discoveries in lunar soil and lunar rocks.

"...In short, in addition to finding traces of water in the lunar rocks, the more important discovery is that some minerals behave very unusually. We are conducting further research, and I think there will be new breakthroughs in the near future, which may help us make breakthroughs in certain areas."

Zhou Zhonghui's answer made Yuan Jialiu nod and say:

"This is exactly why we explore the moon. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

After they left, Yuan Jialiu continued to look through the report. Looking at the data mentioned in the report, he was slightly shocked and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
“Maybe this can really change everything!”

While expressing his feelings, Yuan Jialiu naturally thought of the reports from the United States, other European countries, and even the Soviet Union, hoping to share the lunar soil and rocks from the lava caves, and then shook his head:
"Now, I can only say sorry. Sharing... not everything has to be shared!"

In fact, this is the truest side of the world. On the surface, people say they are willing to share everything, but in fact, they only share non-confidential things.

As for secrets, who would take the initiative to share them?

Soon, the Spring Festival is here.

This Spring Festival was destined to be a lively one. After Gao Binghan and Hans returned to Chang'an and received a warm welcome, they received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala of Asia Television.

The Spring Festival Gala is a special New Year's Eve program launched by Asia Television 12 years ago. It is not only to promote traditions, but also to expand SEA's influence in Asia. After all, Spring Festival is celebrated in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and many other places. So this program came into being. Like all entertainment programs, the Spring Festival Gala invites many of the most popular artists. This is a way to export culture by playing the cultural card.

Every New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival Gala begins with singing and laughter, and such programs attract hundreds of millions of viewers.

"I never thought this place would be like this."

Sitting in front of the TV, Zhou Shouxian was not only surprised by the colorful programs on TV, but also by the mental state displayed by people.

Two months ago, he brought his family to Hong Kong Island by plane and then came to Chang'an.

Like many people who had just arrived, he and his wife and children were all amazed at the prosperity here. Looking at the towering skyscrapers, he, who had studied in the United States, even had an idea - even the United States could not compare with here.

Then, something even more shocking happened.

“This is the house they gave us!”

Looking around the apartment, Zhou Shouxian said to his wife:
"I never thought that we would have such a wonderful home just after arriving here and without making any contribution."

The wife beside him also nodded and said:

"Yes, it's really unexpected. Everything here seems different from other places."

“It’s different from the United States.”

Zhou Shouxian, who once studied in the United States, thought for a moment and said:
"When I contacted them and got my passport, I was given not only my passport but also HK$1000 in cash. Without this money, my family wouldn't even be able to board the plane. After we got off the plane at Kai Tak, they sent us air tickets and meal coupons. When we arrived at Chang'an, they even gave us a place to stay. The room had everything."

At this time, his son Zhou Jie also said:
"That's right, Dad. Not only is there everything in the room, but there are also all kinds of things in the refrigerator, including vegetables, fruits, and even ice cream and soda..."

When talking about all this, there was still some uncertainty in the children's tone. After all, what was given here was far beyond their imagination.

“That’s why I need to work harder!”

Zhou Shouxian sighed with emotion, his brows furrowed. After getting so much, he always wanted to give back, but he felt a sense of powerlessness.

He graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in electrical engineering and has been studying electronic computers for the past decade. However, after coming here, he was surprised to find that all the theoretical knowledge he had mastered was outdated.

Personal computers have become popular here. They used integrated circuits to develop the world's first single-vector machine supercomputer with a pipeline structure, the "Deep Blue" series of computers. The computing speed has already exceeded 1 million times per second and has exceeded 2.5 million times per second. From the birth of Deep Blue-2000 to the present, the Deep Blue series of supercomputers has always been at the top of the world's computer processing speed.

As an electronic computer expert, Zhou Shouxian knew almost nothing about all this. He only knew about the existence of the "Deep Blue" supercomputer and understood the principles of the pipelined single vector machine through magazines.

Faced with such a lag, Zhou Shouxian even doubted whether he could catch up with the times. In order to catch up, he has been studying eagerly in the library for the past two months.

The more he learned, the more shocked he was. Zhou Shouxian even made some mistakes now - these were two completely different worlds.

"...When we looked at the Earth from the Moon, we even felt a certain fear, because the Earth looked extremely small and fragile from this perspective. The desolate and silent environment of the Moon made them feel lonely and helpless..."

Watching Gao Binghan on TV and listening to him describe what it was like to look at a map on the moon, Zhou Shouxian felt inexplicably heavy.

The reason why he felt so heavy was that in the past two months, he had witnessed the rapid pace of technological progress in the world, a speed that far exceeded his imagination.

Even in just a dozen years, the world has been turned upside down by science.

They flew into space and to the moon. They brought computers into thousands of homes. They even connected computers into a whole through optical cables.

All of this is so magical...

At this time, Zhou Shouxian was in a complicated mood, but the Spring Festival Gala on TV was still going on. At this moment, listening to the announcement on TV, the whole family was stunned, they recognized the pianist.

"It's actually him."

Then the sound of piano came from the TV. Listening to the piano melody and watching the pianist performing, they also had complicated feelings...
