The rise of nanometers

Just when the Hashimoto family was busy eating.

Several tourists from Rome also appeared at the Time Hotel in New Pastoral City.

[On November 2, 2015, the weather was sunny and slightly cold. Cliff, Wenna and I came to a new city, a city built on the Gobi Desert.

I couldn’t believe my eyes, and it was hard to imagine that this city was still a deserted Gobi Desert three years ago.

The moment I got off the plane from Peiping, my pride and prejudice were completely shattered. Even the city of Rome cannot compare to one percent of Peiping!

But at that time, I still had some psychological comfort, because after all, this is the capital of a country, and it is understandable that it should be built more beautifully.

It wasn't until a few of us left Peiping, followed the high-speed railway, and entered the legendary "Saibei area" that I realized that I was wrong, and it was a huge mistake.

Dense grasslands, farmland, lakes and cities, as well as vast nature reserves...]

Du Lun stopped writing and sat on the balcony of the hotel. The howling north wind, mixed with a hint of coldness, calmed his burning brain.

Wen Na, who had just taken a shower, came over with a pot of hot coffee and a cup, and poured him a cup of coffee.

"Are you writing travel notes again?"

Du Lun nodded and picked up the hot coffee: "The Chinese have a very good saying: what you hear is false, and what you see is belief."

As a college student majoring in journalism, Duren planned to write a thesis about China before graduating next year, so he, his girlfriend Wen Na, and his friend Cliff came to China to travel together.

Putting a piece of sugar cube into the cup, Wen Na showed a wry smile that didn't know what to do: "We were deceived. This is so ridiculous, and we are deceiving ourselves."

Du Lun naturally knew what she meant. This kind of deception was maliciously stigmatized and discredited by a group of elites and capital in Western society who monopolized information channels.

But these "smart people" don't know that if they tell lies too many times, they will become deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Those "pig and sheep" who were kept in captivity also believed these lies and were full of arrogance and prejudice against the East. Especially the people at the bottom, who may have never been to the East in their lives, naturally did not know the information gap.

Many Westerners' understanding of the East is still stuck in the 19th century.

Even Du Lun and others who went to college do not have much real information. Even in the past few years, Time Blog and Chaoxin have expanded rapidly around the world, and it is still difficult to reverse the impression of the past few decades.

It wasn't until Duren actually stepped into this land that he discovered the huge difference.

"What I just want to know now is how on earth those so-called Sinologists wrote those outrageous books?" Du Lun complained.

Wen Na was also deeply affected by this. She also majored in journalism and had read many "Oriental documentary literature" written by sinologists. However, when she came to China, she was slapped in the face.

"If this is a backward area, what is Rome? Cracked houses and public toilets?"

Wenna, who has lived in Rome and various parts of Western Europe, has probably seen only the German region as a relatively modern area. The infrastructure in other Western European regions is very poor and old.

She had never been to China before and was accustomed to everything around her. She thought that China was worse than Xizhou.

But now she was silent, and everything in front of her had subverted Wen Na's worldview.

At this moment, there is only one thought left in her mind, that is, the world in front of her is the real modern civilization. Xizhou is still living in the dream of the last century and has not woken up yet.

Cliff, who went downstairs to get takeout, walked in with two big bags:

"Duren, Wen Na, the takeaway has arrived."

Putting the cups aside, the three of them placed the takeaways on the table.

After Cliff washed his hands, he turned on the TV and found the Chinese International TV Station, then ate and watched TV.

They ordered mutton finger rice, as well as three delicacies, kung pao chicken and boiled buttered cabbage.

"Yeah! It tastes so delicious!" Wen Na took a big spoonful of rice.

Cliff had just taken two bites when he saw a TV program reporting on NASA's Lunar 8 spacecraft launched yesterday.

Duren on the side also saw this news: "NASA is anxious. I heard that they will launch a Falcon Heavy on the 10th."

"There's no rush! If supplies are not sent to Outpost 1 within sixty days, the two astronauts may not be able to survive." Cliff shook his head.

After taking a sip of Feizhai Happy Water, Wen Na said helplessly: "Actually, they can ask the Chinese Space Administration for help. Last month, the Chinese Space Administration launched 18 launch vehicles, including 8 spacecrafts that went to the moon. , it’s still easy to send some supplies to Outpost 1.”

Du Lun shook his head: "Don't be naive. With the current relationship between the two parties, it is basically impossible to cooperate unless aliens really appear."

Hearing this, Wen Na also fell silent and buried herself in the food.

The current crazy space race really makes people from other forces tremble. Not to mention the China Space Administration, which launches 18 launch vehicles a month, even NASA, the second largest, launched 7 launch vehicles of various sizes last month.

NASA's Lunar Outpost 1 base is still in a half-dead state; but the scale of the Guanghan Palace base is increasing day by day.

At present, the number of space capsules in Guanghan Palace Base has been expanded to 45, gradually forming living areas, port areas, scientific research areas, industrial areas, power stations, and mines. It can now accommodate 15 astronauts permanently.

If it continues to develop, sooner or later it will become a moon city.

Du Lun looked into the distance at the agricultural factory located on the western outskirts of the city, allowing them to see the power of human technology. Even the severe cold weather could not affect the agricultural production here.

“They can transform the Gobi desert into grassland farms, and maybe one day they can achieve agricultural production on the moon.”

Wen Na nodded. In the past, she might have scorned such remarks, but what she saw and heard these days made her realize the reality.

In fact, Du Lun's guess is not nonsense.

Because at this time, three new space capsules have arrived in the scientific research area of ​​Guanghan Palace Base, and these three space capsules are used for space agricultural research.

Previously, although there were five agricultural research capsules on the Tiangong Space Station, the environment in low-Earth orbit was different from the moon.

In the space agricultural production environment, there is currently no electric field synthesis technology similar to chemical synthesis, and it cannot be unified into a large system.

Therefore, agricultural research on the moon should be carried out sooner rather than later. The agricultural research space capsule must be deployed as soon as possible to conduct preliminary planting experiments on various crops.

Especially as the industrial zone of the Guanghan Palace Base begins to enter the production stage and can gradually mass-produce some materials, the construction speed of the Guanghan Palace Base will become faster and faster in the future.

At present, 85% of the Hongwan Plain No. 1 hot well power station has been completed, and the cable laying has been completed. Now the industrial zone uses geothermal power, and several silicon steel synthesis cabins, aluminum alloy synthesis cabins, and processing cabins are gradually put into use. .

The Guanghan Palace base initially has the production capacity for space capsule shells, frames and rough parts.

Next, the lunar spacecraft will gradually reduce the transportation volume of complete space capsules, and instead transport some precision instruments, electronic appliances, and special spare parts.

This change will greatly increase the construction speed of Guanghan Palace Base.
