The Moon Palace Space Station was like a silver dragon soaring in the sky.
The Tiangong space station, like a soaring silver dragon, floated smoothly in orbit around the moon.
From the distant horizon, a long spacecraft slowly approached like a small boat.
On the side of the spacecraft, the number "002" was written in white paint, indicating that this was the second "Magpie Bridge".
At this moment, the people sitting on the Magpie Bridge were researchers from all over the world who were engaged in various fields of research.
The landing gear extended forward, and the Magpie Bridge slowly approached the Moon Palace Space Station.
Professor Stephen stood next to the porthole and looked at the silver-white planet not far away. He was wearing a spacesuit, and he suddenly couldn't help but exclaim.
"Unbelievable."
Professor Ian Crawford from Birkbeck College of the University of London glanced at him and asked curiously, "Unbelievable about what?"
"I didn't expect China to actually build a scientific research base on the surface of the Moon." Professor Stephen's throat moved up and down slowly. He stared at the silver land outside the porthole and said, "I always thought they just wanted to scam funding from the United Nations."
Building a semi-permanent experimental facility on the surface of the Moon. Just a few months ago, this sounded like a dream. The Europeans didn't even dare to think about such a big project.
Professor Stephen never thought that China could really do it.
However, the reality in front of him once again refreshed his eyes and also refreshed his understanding.
Production was completed on Earth, transportation was completed through the Magpie Bridge, and then airdropped to the surface of the moon. The entire construction process was surprisingly easy, like building blocks.
If it weren't for the fact that he had seen the entire lunar research station in pictures, he wouldn't have believed all of this was real.
Not just that, but apparently, China planned to build a collider on the crater to conduct physics experiments. CERN had taken the initiative to send a team of experts to Beijing to help China solve the technical problems of high-energy physics experiments.
Once upon a time, "China-EU friendship" and "Silk Road" had always been the talk of the Chinese media, but now it seemed that it wasn't just the Chinese media that frequently mentioned these two words. These two words were often mentioned by the representatives of various countries in the European Union.
In order to participate in the lunar scientific research base project, countries had to pay a lot of money to China in exchange for the opportunity for their scientific researchers to participate in the lunar scientific research base project, as well as to win orders from the Moon for their companies …
"They have completed the scale of the aerospace industry, which is not difficult for them." Professor Ian continued, "I mentioned in my thesis a long time ago that the development of lunar resources is the only way for our civilization to go to space. If we don't take control of this place, someone else will. "
"That's why I said it's unbelievable." Professor Stephen sighed and said, "It's only been a few years, but they've already done something that we couldn't even imagine in ten years."
Professor Stephen paused for a second and looked at the space station outside the porthole. He suddenly spoke on a whim.
"Speaking of which, I don't know if Dr. Z is on this space station."
During the Mars bacteria incident that threatened the entire Earth's ecosystem, a paper published under an alias on arXiv played a decisive role.
Even now, this matter was still being discussed enthusiastically by the entire biology community.
So far, the entire biology community was talking about Dr. Z. However, even though some government agencies were involved in the investigation, no one was able to determine the identity of this hero who saved all of humanity.
Professor Ian suddenly heard Dr. Z's name, and he looked at him strangely.
"Why do you think he's here?"
"I carefully studied his paper and found that his grammatical habits are very similar to several Chinese students I have taught. My intuition tells me that he should be from China, and it is very likely that he is involved in the research of X-0172 bacteria. The only patient in the world is lying in the lunar scientific research station, so there is no reason for him not to be here. "
Professor Ian said, "I remember you said a while ago that you didn't believe this kind of research results could be produced by a China research institute."
Professor Stephen coughed and reached out to touch his nose.
"The past is the past, this is the present. Times have changed."
While the two were talking, the Magpie Bridge had completed the docking with the Moon Palace, and the cabin door slowly opened.
Under the guidance of the signal lights, the experts wearing spacesuits gathered in front of the cabin door at the connection and floated into the space station through the cabin door.
A tall Chinese staff member in a cabin spacesuit stood in front of everyone in the buffer room that was used to balance the air pressure.
He cleared his throat and spoke to the crowd in standard English.
"Welcome to the Moon Palace space station, I am the person in charge here.
"The flight to the surface of the Moon will depart in three days. You will receive three days of adaptive training here to help you maintain good physical condition in a low-gravity environment.
"Now, according to the regulations, please show your electronic passport before going to the Moon Palace scientific research station …"
Even though the Moon was the common property of the international community, the facilities built on the Moon were privately owned by various countries and organizations before they were completely abandoned.
Even though China didn't claim territorial sovereignty over the area where the Moon Palace scientific research station was located, strictly speaking, this research facility was China's enclave on the Moon, and it was protected by China's national power.
Therefore, before stepping into this research institute, one had to show one's passport and visa, which was a necessary procedure …
…
Lu Zhou didn't expect to be on the trending list twice in November because of two different things.
The first time was obviously because of the quasi Riemann conjecture.
However, this conjecture wasn't particularly well-known to the general public. If one didn't understand mathematics, they might not even understand what his work meant to the mathematics world. Therefore, even though it was on the trending search list, it only hovered around the top twenty or thirty.
However, this time, the completion of the lunar scientific research station pushed him directly to the top three of the trending list on major social media platforms.
This lunar scientific research station named "Moon Palace" instantly overshadowed the proof of the quasi Riemann conjecture.
Not only were major media outlets around the world reporting on this matter, but netizens around the world were also enthusiastically discussing this matter.
It was like overnight, the entire world was looking at China with envy.
For Lu Zhou, the attention on him and the overwhelming news reports didn't attract too much attention. He didn't have time to pay attention at all.
The research on the Riemann conjecture had already consumed most of his energy. The current work of the Lunar Orbit Committee was basically carried out according to the outline that he had previously formulated, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
However, while Lu Zhou was busy with his own things, something that made him depressed happened.
Which was that the Moon Palace scientific research station was completed ahead of schedule. The second stage of the "Control of Earth and Moon" mission chain, "Permanent Lunar Residence", was determined to be completed by the system?
