Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 967 Nuwa mends the sky
(The figures for the space station's altitude and the orbit's semi-major axis a are not rigorous enough, so I made some minor adjustments.)
PM15:00, Hangzhou.

Qianjiang Smart City, the main venue of the summit, most of the second phase of the meeting has passed.

Xingtian No. 3, controlled by Xiao Huasha, has been analyzing the huge wreckage of the space station.

Tens of thousands of fragments are still shifting and rotating. The difficulty can be imagined. Xingtian No. 3 has changed several angles.

He also assisted the small shower in observing, hoping to trigger "unraveling the mystery" or "simplifying the complexity", but since the pixels of the video transmitted back were not high, there was no effect yet.

Although there is a high possibility that it is a waste of time, Zhou Rui's intuition tells him that there may be important information in it, information that will change the nature of the incident.

He did not give up and searched for the core module where the so-called "twelve astronauts" were located. Xingtian No. 1 had already arrived at this orbit and was also searching in the possible direction under the control of Xiaohuasha.

While Zhou Rui was concentrating with his head down, great changes also took place in the conference hall.

While the leaders of various countries were sitting here in a meeting, their entourage would come up from time to time and whisper.

Gradually, some countries began to feel uneasy.

Aerospace itself is a very glorious field. It has become increasingly popular in recent years and has attracted great attention from the public, especially in recent months.

This change seems to be a natural process, but it is actually quite rapid. Now even the girls in Amsterdam are using the word "big rocket" to praise guys.

After several hours of fermentation, the media and self-media have joined this traffic carnival. Even if some major media remain silent, they cannot stop the global spread of the matter.

The reaction was particularly intense in Europe and Asia, where the time zone is during the day.

Some heads of state are even getting a little restless.

It was not because of what happened to the 12 astronauts above, but because of the public opinion that stemmed from the incident.

If we settle accounts later, and find out that these leaders did not react, did not take any measures or make any statements when the sky encountered a huge crisis, then everyone will be held accountable.

Unfortunately, the only three companies that are truly capable of intervening are China, the United States, and Goose.

In other countries, observation is difficult.

Among them, a certain Eastern country is unfathomable. It showed up in this incident but did not make any statement.

The Eagle Sauce has remained silent, causing its followers to be confused about how to express their opinions.

The goose was very subtle and kept silent.
However, there was no sound at the summit venue, where the world's leaders gathered.

It doesn't represent other places, and it has no voice.

------

PM15:05, no location.

On the Internet, game forums, and StarCraft enthusiasts exchange groups.

"Brothers, have you heard? The International Space Station exploded, HLS!"

"I was woken up by my roommate in the middle of the night. I have been paying attention to it for several hours. It has been confirmed by observatories in some countries, and the silent video has been circulated in various forums."

"Poor astronaut, if it were me, I would shoot myself in the head rather than wait for death in the lonely space."

"It's a pity that they don't even have guns. Oh, by the way, I remember there was a guy who claimed to work for NASA. Did he say anything?"

At this time, a member who had been surfing all night took a screenshot of the chat history from more than an hour ago and posted it in the latest content.

"He sent a series of numbers and a photo. The photo seemed to be a man-made 'Headless Horseman', but I couldn't understand the numbers. Apparently someone in China had gone to check on the situation. The 'Headless Horseman' was really cool."

"Everyone, you are late. The previous round of discussions has ended. China sent its own aerospace fighters to check, but they don't seem to have found the 'core module' where the astronauts are."

One person asked: "What does that string of numbers mean? What a, what e?"

Someone immediately answered: "a represents the semi-major axis of the orbit, e represents the eccentricity of the orbit, i represents the inclination of the orbit, and Ω represents the longitude of the ascending node. These are the complete 'six numbers of the orbit', which are used to describe the specific trajectory of the satellite. We suspect that this is the location of the 'core module' that he risked his life to transmit, but he never sent any message afterwards."

Immediately, a sense of excitement of participating in a global event emerged in the hearts of all group members.

Can you imagine that a little-known communication group suddenly seems to be in the vortex of a world storm?

Many people looked at the screen, their adrenaline rushing and a sense of mission arising spontaneously.

The group leader spoke up and said, "Everyone, just like what the video said, the only way to save the 12 astronauts now is by Taiyi Gong."

"I have already organized it once, and now I have to do it again. All members, immediately mobilize everyone around you to spread these two messages. Send them to all the networks, forums, and communication groups you can access."

"Then call on everyone to use the social networks @'瑞·周', @'中国空局', @'太天工' to make sure they see this message and know the location of the core module!"

"In addition, since everyone comes from countries around the world, we need to mobilize everyone to contact government departments in various countries and put pressure on them to ask China for help. This may have a better effect!"

"I have also contacted the Black K organization I know, and they will contact more people to act together."

"This is the ultimate rescue on the Internet. Pick up your keyboards and check your network cables! The stars are watching us!"

"The stars are watching us!"

"The stars are watching us!"

"The stars are watching us!"

The two pieces of information and their meanings began to spread across the Internet at an extremely fast speed.

More and more people are participating in this "online rescue".

Some have clear goals, some are just joining in the fun, and even more "leaders" have emerged, arranging step-by-step how to spread the news and calling on various countries.

The personal account of "Master Zhou", the official website of "Taiyi Tiangong", and even the domestic account of the China National Space Administration were instantly filled with the same information.

"Master Zhou! Send your fighter planes here quickly!"

"Here they are! Here are the orbital parameters!"

"Damn it! Master Zhou should be at the summit. I saw the news this morning. Does he have a cell phone?"

"What happened when I just connected to the Internet? What happened?"

"It's too much trouble to explain, just stay in line! Copy and paste!!"

"Okay! What happened when I just connected to the Internet? What happened! What happened when I just connected to the Internet? What happened!"

----

PM16:00, 404310 meters above sea level.

The wreckage of the "core module" over Central Asia.

The twelve astronauts spoke less and less.

Not only because of the terrifying oxygen reserves, but also because of the extremely oppressive despair.

"Guys, the radio is also locked and the battery is low."

Without solar panels, they rely purely on the core module's batteries for power, and everything, including oxygen generation, depends on electricity.

Makarov pursed his lips. He was sweating a lot because of the high tension.
"How much power is left?" "29%."

This is a despairing number.
"We are running low on oxygen. At the current rate of consumption, we only have four hours left."

The Belgian female astronaut suddenly said: "I don't think China will come to rescue us. They have no reason to do so unless there is a Chinese astronaut on board."

She suddenly laughed at herself and said, "There are so many negative news and so many inexplicable accusations on weekdays. I guess they must be very happy on the ground. From now on, they are the only large man-made structure in orbit."

Swedish astronaut: "They may not be happy about our misfortune, but whether they will come to rescue us depends entirely on the response of our respective countries. I wonder if those Z-ers who talk about threats on 12, , and collapse on , , will open their mouths for the sake of useless astronauts."

The Norwegian astronaut sneered, "Obviously not. Houston is as quiet as if he were dead. Hasn't that made his position clear? Compared to a rescue, it's obviously cheaper for us all to die in orbit."

Suddenly, the communication station in the core module rang.

"Makarov! Received! Please reply!"

Strangely, the voice was not in English, but in Russian.

Makarov was stunned for a long moment before floating towards the communications station.

"This is the International Space Station. Who are you?"

"I'm from the Russian Space Agency, and I'm your compatriot. Russia helped build the core module. We have an emergency communication device, but it hasn't been used for more than a decade. God knows how long it took us to find the relevant information."

"Listen, NASA has used technology to block any country on the ground from contacting you. The relay satellites are also under their control. I am communicating directly through the ground launch station. You are about to fly over the effective area. I will make it short."

Makarov clenched his fists tightly.

The voice seemed to be switched to English intentionally so that everyone could understand:

"I'm sorry for what happened to you, but unfortunately, the Russian Space Agency doesn't have the ability to rescue you. This is different from delivering supplies to the space station, especially under NASA's obstruction. But out of humanitarianism, I am willing to tell you the truth."

the truth?

Everyone pricked up their ears.

"About 10 days ago, the United States conducted an 'anti-orbital experiment' and announced that it had mastered 'orbital attack technology'. Their actions were captured by our satellites."

"The weapons and targets of this experiment are the culprits that caused the disintegration of the International Space Station. It created thousands of space debris that flew in all directions and had unpredictable orbits, including some rocket fuel system debris that could still burn in orbit."

He had just finished speaking when an astronaut angrily pounded on the cabin wall.

“Those damn Yankees!”

"FK! FK! FK!"

The person on the other end of the communication station spoke very quickly:
"Dear astronauts, unfortunately our technology is not advanced enough. We were not able to find any clues until we reversed the process afterwards. But you at least have the right to know the truth."

"You will soon be out of range of the ground transmitter. We will continue to try to contact you the next time you pass by."

"It's cruel to say this, but if you have any last words or anything you want to make public, we will record them for you and help you convey them to your family on the ground."

The signal became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a snowy sound.

Of the twelve astronauts, nearly half cried.
Tears have become the most abundant moisture in this space.

--------

PM17:30, Hangzhou.

The second phase of the meeting officially ended at Qianjiang Smart City, the main venue of the summit.

All the staff stood up and walked outside under guidance.

According to the itinerary, the next stage will be the state banquet at the West Lake State Guesthouse, and after that, there will be the "The City I Miss Most is Hangzhou" cultural performance by the West Lake.

As the only person carrying a suitcase, Zhou Rui attracted a lot of attention, especially the leaders of various countries who knew what was happening in the outside world and were particularly concerned about the condition of Master Zhou.

Yes, not only has the first round of “silent videos” been widely circulated, but the subsequent “online rescue” has spread even faster.

All accounts related to Zhou Rui and China Aerospace, both on the intranet and the internet, were flooded with a series of numbers.

"a:5827361, e:0.72, i:32, Ω:272, ω:190, m:36"

This string of numbers seemed to have some kind of magic that made everyone repeat it over and over again.

Zhou Rui followed the group out of the main venue, but before getting into his car, he was directed in another direction by staff.

I got on a Hongqi N501, which is the same model but has decorations on the front.

The car started smoothly and headed towards West Lake, with mounted police leading the way in front and a convoy following behind.

"Xiao Zhou, have you found it?"

Zhou Rui looked at his watch and said, "In order to save fuel, we will arrive by cutting tracks. It will take about 30 minutes."

Opening the laptop again, Zhou Rui added: "In addition, we found some special traces in the main wreckage. This disaster may have other hidden secrets."

"But Xingtian is a drone and has no transport capabilities. If we want to take action, we need more preparations. It's much more complicated."

The figure beside him nodded slightly: "You successfully found the scene. At least we are safe in this matter and will not be blamed."

"But so far, no one has spoken to us. I'm afraid the situation has gone from being a simple disaster to a game of wits among all parties."

Zhou Rui touched his chin and said, "So, should we save him? After all, no one is begging us."

To put it bluntly, there are no Chinese people there.

They didn't even have a single screw that was made in-house, and they even kicked China's aerospace industry away.

We have no obligation to spend money on space rescue.

A beggar knows how to say "Uncle, please be kind"? With so many leaders of various countries gathered together, why is he still pretending to be deep and silent?
Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

In the car, a magnetic voice sounded
"Xiao Zhou, no one spoke at the meeting. But outside the meeting, someone spoke."

The voice was a little emotional: "Have not millions of people spoken up? Nuwa patched up the sky not for the bizarre gods, nor for the birds in the sky, but for the clay figures on the ground looking up."

"what do you mean"

"If you can do it, do it boldly."

Zhou Rui pursed his lips, his brain working rapidly. Combining the orbital parameters of the core module with his own technical capabilities, a seemingly feasible plan emerged in his mind.

"If you say so, I do have a bold idea."

He took out the meeting schedule that Gan Yuan gave him from his pocket, stared at it, and emphasized it again.

"Very bold. I need your consent."

　The orbital height is actually a variable value. The main change comes from the elliptical orbit, and the secondary change comes from the stall caused by the collision of gas molecules. I won’t go into details. I don’t understand it either. It is a simulation.
