The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The successful landing of the Zhurong spacecraft and the twelve Chinese astronauts and scientists standing on the surface of Mars announced that China had successfully achieved manned landing on Mars, which won China great international prestige and plunged the whole of China into a sea of ​​jubilation.

Related videos have appeared on major websites, and the comment sections have been flooded with comments by netizens from all over the world.

When reporting on this, Xinhua News Agency used the rare phrase "a great step in human history" to describe the success of this manned Mars landing program.

In addition to the extensive coverage by the Chinese media, overseas media also paid the highest level of attention to this matter.

And the preliminary work in China has also begun.

They will explore the resources on Mars.

Before this, China's Mars rover had conducted relevant surveys, but it was only on a small area.

Now that we are carrying a large number of instruments and equipment, we naturally have to conduct a thorough survey.

Three oval-shaped buildings were moved out of the Zhurong spacecraft and then opened.

These three elliptical silver-white buildings and a life capsule use the abundant carbon dioxide on Mars to produce oxygen through photosynthesis, providing astronauts and scientists with the oxygen, vegetables and fruits they need for life.

One is the living module, where astronauts and scientists live.

The other one is the work cabin, where experts carry out their work, including conducting experiments.

There are also astronauts who will use instruments and equipment to conduct large-scale surveys to determine the content and types of various mineral resources on Mars.

Of course, there is another task, which is to find a lot of water.

Prior to this, various studies could only show that there was water on Mars, but the amount of water was very small.

One of the tasks this time is to find a large amount of water.

Only with sufficient water will the subsequent large-scale construction of a Mars base be possible.

After all, Mars is too far away from the Earth, far exceeding the distance from the Moon to Mars.

If we want to build a lunar research base like the "Guanghan Palace", it is definitely not possible because the cost is too high.

The Mars base requires more utilization of Martian resources to build the base.

Moreover, the surface temperature of Mars is between -143℃ and 35℃, so we are bound to need to take our time.

Just like the 'Guanghan Palace' lunar research base, it is being built step by step.

This time, the 'Zhurong' spacecraft will stay on Mars for up to one year before returning to Earth.

Liu Tao is more concerned about the situation on Mars than ever before.

There's no way around it. His daughter is on Mars, he can't help but care.

I keep in touch with Liu Yingqing every day.

On Mars, solar power generation devices and methane generators will be used!

There is a lot of methane on Mars, which can be used to generate electricity and produce water. After treatment, the water can be used for photosynthesis and drinking.

Good news keeps coming back from Mars.

After preliminary investigation, the ilmenite resources on Mars are as high as 5000 trillion tons, the rare earth element resources are 1500 billion tons, and the reserves of phosphorus, methane, thorium, uranium and other elements are also very rich.

Even on Mars, abundant water resources have been found.

But so far, no signs of life have been found on Mars.

With the manned landing on Mars, China's national strength has risen even more significantly.

It is becoming more and more influential in the fields of politics, economy, military, culture, etc.

China is not interested in the territories and resources of neighboring countries, but the world situation is still changing rapidly.

In just a few years, China has become the center of the world.

On this day, the lunar Super Hadron Collider was finally built.

Beijing, China Nuclear Research Center.

It gathers a large number of world-renowned physicists.

With Liu Tao's announcement, the lunar Super Hadron Collider was officially completed.

The moment the words fell, applause poured down like a torrential rain, filling the entire venue.

The thunderous sound was like a huge wave, almost overturning the ceiling of the entire conference hall.

The faces of these world-famous physicists were filled with excitement, and the veins on their hands were bulging as they clapped, as if they had used all their strength.

With the construction of the lunar super-large hadron collider and China's breakthroughs in life sciences, the "Water of Life" has been developed. In the past two years, a small amount of Water of Life has been provided and sold to the outside world, attracting a large number of physics talents to come to China to work and live.

As a result, in just a few years, the world's physics center shifted from Europe to China.

Now, the lunar Super Hadron Collider has been officially completed, which means that a physics building has officially stood in the East.

The physics masters who have regained their youth are very excited at this moment. What they see is that with the lunar Super Hadron Collider, physics will usher in a new chapter.

The lunar research base appeared on the big screen.

On the desolate lunar surface, in the corner of a mountain, there are silver-white buildings standing here, almost integrated with the mountain. This is the lunar scientific research base.

This is also where the collider is started.

Here, there are more than 1000 physicists and engineers working and living here on a long-term basis.

The entire lunar research base can support more than 5000 physicists and engineers living and working here for a long time.

As the 'Guanghan Palace' lunar research base grows stronger, many things can be produced and manufactured at the 'Guanghan Palace' lunar research base, which makes China's infrastructure capabilities on the moon far exceed the initial plan.

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. Even the most optimistic people did not realize that China's capabilities on the moon would improve so quickly.

Just like now, the 'Guanghan Palace' lunar research base, not including passengers, has tens of thousands of astronauts and scientists working and living there for a long time.

Factories have been built at the "Guanghan Palace" lunar research base.

The entire "Guanghan Palace" lunar research base covers an area of ​​2.6 square kilometers.

And this is not the end yet. It is estimated that the entire "Guanghan Palace" lunar research base will cover an area of ​​10 square kilometers.

The 'Guanghan Palace' lunar research base is not the end, but only a new starting point, because China plans to build 10 more lunar research bases based on the 'Guanghan Palace' lunar research base in the next years, so as to better study the moon and develop the earth.

Today, the commanding heights of space have been occupied. Other countries are in Earth's space orbit and can no longer leave the Earth.

If you want to leave the earth, you have to apply to join China's "Guanghan Palace" scientific research base.

Not only on the moon, China has also built a "Zhurong" Mars base on Mars that can accommodate 100 people for long-term work and life. A comprehensive study of Mars is being carried out, and a scientific research team is exploring how to reactivate and transform Mars to make it a planet suitable for life and habitation.

In order to make Mars a planet suitable for life and habitation again, the magnetic field of Mars must be reactivated.

The magnetic field strength of Mars is only 0.1%~0.2% of the Earth's magnetic field.

At this time, in the hall of the lunar research base, every researcher seemed very nervous, because next, the lunar super-large hadron collider would be powered on for the first time for trial operation.

The world of physics will move forward from here.

This was also the most glorious moment in the life of everyone present. After experiencing this, they could brag about it for the rest of their lives.

Of course, everyone is working hard now, hoping to make greater contributions so that they can obtain the "water of life" in the future, rather than waiting until they are in their sixties or seventies and become decrepit old men or women.

Finally, it was time for the first power-on test run.

"Start turning on the power!"

As Yang Zhenning made a sonorous and powerful voice, it was transmitted to the command center of the lunar research base, and the researcher standing in front of the control console reached out and pressed the button.

At almost the same moment, huge amounts of energy gathered into a circle at the bottom of the mountain.

Driven by this energy that can simulate the moment of the Big Bang, the emitted protons collided with each other, emitting sparks and fragments that cannot be captured by the naked eye.

Looking at the energy spectrum image displayed on the detector, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly pushed to a climax. Everyone could not help but stand up, gave thunderous applause, and cheered for this moment from the bottom of their hearts.

Protons collide with each other at a center-of-mass energy of 1000 TeV!
Compared with the LHC, the largest proton collider in Europe, which has a 14TeV energy, the proton collision energy of this super-large hadron collider is two orders of magnitude higher!

Liu Tao looked at everyone's excitement and joy, and a smile appeared on his face.

But this is just the beginning, this is just the first step in a long march, and there is no need to be proud or complacent.

If you are proud and complacent even about this, then you are too petty.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was already the year 2100 AD, and mankind had ushered in a new century, entering the 22nd century.

Throughout the 21st century, humanity on Earth has experienced unprecedented glory.

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the productivity of human beings on Earth has been greatly improved, far exceeding the previous three industrial revolutions.

Only China has experienced and completed the entire Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The entire earth has also ushered in a new era. There is only one country on the entire earth, and it has truly become a global village.

From regional integration to global integration!

Thanks to China's efforts, Chinese people are now not only spread all over the earth, but also throughout the entire solar system.

Spacecraft of various types can be found everywhere in the solar system.

Various mining spacecraft directly collect asteroids, refine the ores in space, and process them into various parts.

Even in a space environment, spacecraft can be built directly.

There are already 1000 million people living on the moon, and 3000 million people living on Mars!

China has already explored the star systems surrounding the solar system, and even has astronauts who have gone to outer star systems to search for planets with life at close range.

But what is certain is that there are no planets with life in the star systems surrounding the solar system.

According to Huaxia's research, there is a planet that may host life about 40 light years away from Earth.

This is undoubtedly speechless, because the most advanced spacecraft that China can build now has a maximum speed of 0.1 times the speed of light. It takes 400 years to reach this planet of life, and 500 years to go round trip.

And the human life span is only about 150 years!
In the past, people thought that being able to live 150 years in good health was already good enough.

But now everyone realizes that in the space age, in the interstellar age, a lifespan of 150 years is still too short.

Entering the 22nd century, Liu Tao felt no joy, only sadness.

Because he just sent Zhu Lin away!
In the first year of the 22nd century, Zhu Lin came to the end of his life. He was not sick or injured. He took a nap yesterday and stopped breathing in the morning.

Liu Tao was in great pain. Even though he had experienced this kind of loss of a loved one over the years, it still made him feel the pain.

Over the years, he has tried to develop a more advanced "water of life" that can prolong human life.

However, he discovered that even though he could extend his life, he could not extend his soul. It seemed that after 150 years of life, the soul would collapse and decay.

The soul is so mysterious!
Even after so many years of continuous research on the soul, we still cannot describe it well. We can only be sure that the soul exists.

Liu Tao’s latest scientific research result is that the soul is the root of life.

Without soul, there is no life.

However, Liu Tao had no idea how to prevent the soul from decaying after reaching the lifespan of 150 years.

After seeing Zhu Lin off, Liu Tao plunged into the laboratory.

As early as five years ago, he resigned from all his positions to devote his time to Zhu Lin and accompany Zhu Lin.

And now, he has to do something too.

A year later, Liu Tao mobilized a large amount of resources and finally built a spaceship to the limit of his ability.

This spacecraft can reach the speed of light.

On this day, Liu Tao called his eldest son Liu Jingming and gave him instructions about his funeral arrangements.

"This is all the design data for this spacecraft. You must keep it well and keep it as top secret." Liu Tao looked serious as he handed a storage disk to Liu Jingming. This storage device contained all the design data for the entire spacecraft, and contained so much technology.

"We must remember that humans on Earth are not the only intelligent creatures on Earth in the entire universe! Our detectors have clearly discovered that there are intelligent creatures in other star systems. We must not be careless. Human beings on Earth must never stop!" Liu Tao warned.

"Dad~~" Liu Jingming wanted to persuade Liu Tao.

"Don't persuade me!" Liu Tao shook his head.

After giving the instructions, Liu Tao entered the "Future" spacecraft under the witness of the entire solar system.

The "Future" spacecraft took off and landed vertically quickly. In just a few minutes, it had entered space. Without stopping at all, it flew quickly in one direction.

In just five minutes, the speed of the "Future" spacecraft exceeded the third cosmic speed.

When the "Future" spacecraft leaves the solar system, its speed will reach the speed of light.

It seemed like in an instant, the "Future" spacecraft disappeared, as if it had entered a strange world. In this world, the speed of the "Future" spacecraft was still accelerating, easily surpassing the speed of light.

When Liu Tao felt that his soul was about to reach its limit, the "Future" spacecraft had reached 10081 times the speed of light.

Then he saw that a green light seemed to be emanating from his body. This green light engulfed his soul and quickly left this strange world. He saw the starry sky of the universe, with star systems and galaxies like the Milky Way.

The entire universe is so wonderful.

You know, humans have been studying the universe for such a long time, and have been constantly revising the observed diameter of the universe, constantly changing their understanding of the origin of the universe.

Water cannot know how big the universe is!
The vast universe is full of wonders!

Liu Tao wanted to persist in seeing more of the wonders of the universe, but his will fell into a deep sleep.

He realized that he was going to die eventually! (End of this chapter)
