MTL - Rebirth: Fight For Life-Chapter 777 billions of dollars

  Chapter 777 Crazy gambling of tens of trillions

   Cassini, who carried the hopes of too many people, has been awakened again. It is about to undergo orbital adjustments, hoping to lower its orbital altitude as much as possible to get as close to Titan as possible to get the best observation window.

   Now that the track is adjusted, it’s up to Cassini to capture it.

   In the mission control center of the Johnson Space Center, Commander Tang came to the scene again, waiting for the result.

   His waiting, with very mixed emotions.

   In the face of HSDA's leading position in communication with alien civilizations, it is impossible for other parties to remain indifferent.

   However, the other party's proposal to establish a more efficient and binding global communication and decision-making mechanism in the current situation is also reasonable.

   And, HSDA is not waiting.

  The HSDA integration framework is being negotiated. Although it is impossible to reach an agreement so quickly on the governance structure, a unified framework can be quickly established in terms of economic, technological and cultural exchanges.

   What worried the Tang leaders most was their integration in defense and foreign relations.

   This defense and external relations refer to dealing with goals beyond Earth.

  The human space fleet HSF is discussing the construction plan, and the communication with the extraterrestrial civilization will be carried out in the capacity of the HSDA council.

   Put aside sensitive issues that are difficult to coordinate immediately, and first unify the pace in the response to the current challenges, which is their usual argument in the past.

   Commander Tang was very confused.

   From the current situation, it is impossible for HSDA and ESG to merge.

  No, it should be said that Ami is difficult to integrate into HSDA. Judging from the current situation, after Ami is integrated, it is difficult to guarantee even the right to speak in the third place. How is that possible?

   Commander Tang could not forget the chuckle when he faced his proposal.

  The two parties, Huaguo and Ami, compete for global leadership in turn under the election rules. How funny?

   So of course Commander Tang knew that if he entered the framework of HSDA, all the rules would be overturned.

   At the same time, in the ESG camp, there are many people who are excited.

   He is very confused. Can Ami gain more chips, achieve some breakthroughs, and take the initiative in the future global pattern?

   Right now, we can only see if Cassini can really capture anything.

According to the person in charge of the Cassini project team, after the orbit is adjusted, as long as the size of the signal source is larger than one meter, then Cassini consumes all the fuel and reserve power, and shoots continuously as much as possible. Harvested.

  A shape creation that can reach across the star system to the vicinity of Saturn, and something that can emit such a strong signal across a billion kilometers, will the size be smaller than one meter?

   Commander Tang is unbelievable!

   "The signal is coming!"

   was as excited as last time, but Commander Tang knew that it was still early and the transmission speed was so slow.

   But obviously, the opinions of the professional people are still right. Saved the precious shooting opportunity until now, and finally got the harvest.

   didn't make him wait long, there was an exclamation from there: "Oh! My God!"

   Commander Tang stood up and shouted, "Quick, put it on the big screen!"

   Without his instructions, the pictures that had been received but not yet processed were immediately put on the big screen.

   There was silence in the Mission Control Center, and people seemed to be shivering from the gaze of this "eye" on the big screen.

  After a while of silence, only one person sighed in a low voice: "It's so beautiful..."

  …

  If Gu Song heard this praise, he would probably only say one sentence: "Worship of strength..."

Where does   beauty come from?

   However, Cassini's new historical mission is over.

  Compared with Gu Song's memory of the final crash on Saturn, this time, Cassini has a more irreplaceable historical position.

   The first human spacecraft to capture real images of extraterrestrial civilizations.

   To Gu Song's inner complaints, many people reacted the same as him.

   As a rare breakthrough in ESG recently, the news of photographing alien creations was quickly announced at a grand press conference.

   At the press conference, the scientist explained the picture intoxicated: "As you can see, this alien creation has a very beautiful shape..."

  Under the stage, the reporters looked at the pictures and felt that which model looked a little strange and reminded people of bad things.

But the scientist's perspective is of course different. He introduced: "We are still analyzing the function of this creation. But what we can initially conclude is that it is not the fleet we conjectured before. The size of this creation is not large, It's hard to imagine that it's a galaxy-traversing vehicle manned by extraterrestrials. We're pretty confident it's just an unmanned probe."

"Look at the structure on the front, it may be an optical or other image detection device. This shows that the individual of this alien civilization may have the same visual organs as us. And this long probe-shaped device points to the solar system. In addition, it should be the antenna that communicates with their parent star or spacecraft."

"We don't see a very obvious thruster structure. This means that the other side may have a more efficient energy method or propulsion method. From the fact that the other side can still effectively brake and accurately enter the orbit of Titan after crossing the star system. Judging, this energy method or propulsion method is not lower than our current most advanced technical means. Of course, there is no need to overestimate their technical level. After all, this is just an unmanned probe. With our existing technology, if Gotta try and should be able to do it.”

"So, although there is still no way to accurately judge the technological level of the other party, from the analysis of the current situation, the level of the other party may not be too far beyond human imagination. Therefore, we need to learn languages ​​from each other to improve the future. One-step communication to prepare, the probe does not come directly to the earth."

   "Maybe their observation methods cannot reach the earth directly, and they don't know our situation. So the current contact method has a lot of tentative elements."

"A large amount of data returned by Cassini is still being analyzed and processed. From the current results, we also tend to think that the other party has a peaceful communication purpose. Or, since the signal source is just a detector, then Even if there is real hostility, it will not come anytime soon. We still have a lot of time to prepare!"

  “…”

   This time, Ami's press conference was replaced by HSDA, which was closely followed.

   Obviously, the data collected by Cassini is not just a photo.

  Ami has more data on hand, but it has not been published. So, how valuable is this data? Need to get it?

  The big guys at HSDA know that the price will not be small, and they finally have a chip in their hands. When people talk about the new joint framework of HSDA and ESG, they are prepared to at least take turns to dominate or even occupy the nest.

   Now if HSDA wants data, what kind of conditions will they ask?

Gu Song first expressed his opinion and said: "The equipment carried on the Cassini is just those types. The most important information it can help us get has been announced. The other party is an unmanned detector, not a Fleet. As for other information, I think the amount of information obtained will obviously be greater after direct communication."

   "Is your opinion unnecessary?"

Gu Song nodded and smiled and said: "It's really unnecessary. It's like they are taking pictures of each other secretly now, and we have added friends to each other. When chatting, let the other party send a few selfies and introduce themselves, isn't it too much? "

   Tang Yuanfeng looked at his expression and felt that this metaphor... Although it was appropriate, it was too incompatible with the solemn atmosphere, right?

   "Then let's continue the current work rhythm." Tang Yuanfeng exchanged opinions with several other HSDA directors, and then he left.

   Determined the tone of rejecting the negotiation with ESG's last bargaining chip, so there is a lot of preparation to do.

   If we can’t talk about it, the trend will not be good.

  …

   The first photo of the creation of an alien civilization has far-reaching effects.

   Later generations called it "the first fire", because this fire burned a lot of things that were decorated.

  Because HSDA did not show more interest in Cassini data, and all the follow-up information sent by ESG to extraterrestrial creatures could not be echoed, the ESG camp finally had a violent differentiation.

   A large number of second- and third-tier countries in the ESG camp, as well as a small number of first-tier countries with good industrial and economic foundations, have approached HSDA individually and are ready to join the main framework in the future.

   And Ami has a few core irons, making ESG go to an extreme **** mode.

   Several space giants like Huayu Heavy Industries have been established under the integration of capital, including SpaceX.

  In the case of not knowing how the future will change, and in the case that HSDA could not give them an important enough position, they decided to establish a strong enough absolute power first.

  ESG's Earth United Fleet, like a huge and unparalleled blood-sucking machine, started a frantic harvest under a wartime management mode.

  The ordinary people of these big countries who were psychologically high in the past, did not expect their country to change, and they threw away the banner they used to shout.

   Blockade, coercion, exclusion, desperate, they hope to build the Earth United Fleet, catalyze technology, and build an absolute deterrent to their own people, in order to seize a chance in the future.

   This is a mad bet of tens of trillions of funds, betting that their talent accumulation and technical foundation are sufficient, betting that they can take the lead in building this large-scale combined earth fleet in extreme mode.

   After all, the so-called human space fleet of HSDA still needs to be negotiated by the upper management structure and cooperated by many countries.

   Commander Tang felt that Hua Guo had to play with the framework of HSDA, but instead lost his own institutional advantages.

   Now, in their words, who will kill the deer is still unknown!

   Seeing such changes in Ami and several major powers in a short period of time, the whole world was dumbfounded.

   In 2015, it really went to magic!
