Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 970: Halo changes hands, since ancient times

Late at night, or in the early morning of the next day, when the whole earth is not at peace, so is Zhejiang University Second Hospital.

Zhou Rui dealt with some follow-up matters, held an impromptu press conference, and then rushed to the hospital's emergency department.

The whole world is still "celebrating" and it is estimated that it will not subside in the next week.

However, in Hangzhou, all eyes are still focused on these twelve astronauts.

Since the person was alive when he landed, it was natural to ensure that he was alive afterwards, so Zhou Rui came over to take a look.

It is also very convenient to scan with the "Eye of Insight".

Although the director of Zhejiang University Second Hospital came over overnight to preside over the work, the person who knew the patient's condition best was the doctor at the emergency room. The person who talked to him was the director of the emergency department, a bearded and burly man named Lu.

"Although we are a general hospital, the treatment for 'space sickness' is still not comprehensive, especially the lack of various professional equipment. There will be no problem in the emergency room tonight, but we will still have to send him to the space agency's sanatorium for follow-up."

Zhou Rui nodded: "I have already arranged it. Once the internal medicine indications are stable, we can go. The nearest aerospace sanatorium is in Wu City."

Director Lu hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak: "There is one more thing besides treatment. I clearly feel that people from various countries have gathered here. They should be the entourage of the leaders of various countries."

The most core treatment room has been semi-closed by domestic forces, and no one can enter, but there are still many people standing outside the emergency door.

These people are all diplomats. Although they don't make any noise, they still affect the normal operation of the emergency department.

Moreover, Director Lu probably knows what is happening outside. Many of these people are probably staying here with a purpose, and he is afraid that something unpredictable will happen.

"We are a little afraid to chase them away. Maybe the relevant departments should step in."

Zhou Rui suddenly realized: "Oh, no need, I'll do it."

He walked directly to the door and waved to a white man in a suit: "You, come here, which country are you from?"

The other party was obviously confused and a little frightened: "Mr. Zhou from the United States."

"You are affecting the normal operation of the hospital. What are so many people in suits doing standing at the door? Are you seeing them off? Leave the hospital first. We will notify you if there is any problem."

The literal translation of "Eighteen Farewells" in English is a bit strange, but the meaning of driving people away is not difficult to understand.

"This is not good. The instructions we received are..."

"Your instructions don't work here. We have to abide by our rules here. Do you need me to call security?"

"Well, I'll leave first, but I'll report to my superiors."

"Whatever you want, just say I was the one who drove him away!"

Zhou Rui also waved his hand at the others, telling them to leave quickly.

Director Lu opened his mouth when he saw Master Zhou ordering these people around.

Awesome PLUS!

Afterwards, Zhou Rui changed into a surgical gown and, under the guidance of Director Lu, went to see the astronauts from various countries.

Although these people are weak at the moment, they are not in a coma. Some of those who are not asleep are extremely excited after seeing Zhou Rui. Everyone recognizes this face.

The gratitude is beyond words.

This man rescued them from despair. Several astronauts even struggled to stand up and express their gratitude, but were pushed back by the doctor and Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui also used the "Eye of Insight" to check the physical condition of everyone, a total of twelve people. This was also the most times he had used it in a short period of time.

It was also the first time that I felt what the system called "mental energy consumption", and I felt obviously tired.

The physical condition of the twelve people is not good. They have been extremely exhausted physically and mentally, and many of them have suffered from the collateral effects of "space sickness", but none of them are in danger of life, which is good news.

Plus, there’s a little extra bonus.
"Sir, I have something important to tell you. The truth about the destruction of the International Space Station."

In Suni's ward, the American woman solemnly stopped Zhou Rui who was about to leave.

Zhou Rui turned around and smiled, "That's great. I'm very interested in this. Can you tell me from the beginning?"

After all, Xingtian No. 3 did not find any meaningful clues from the messy crime scene: how a rocket component that was more than ten meters long was shattered.

However, Zhou Rui did not intend to give up. No one had the ability to take back the huge crime scene, so he would send equipment to investigate later.

Of course, Zhou Rui was also very curious about what "truth" Su Ni might know.

With determination, Suni recounted exactly what happened in space.

She was mentally exhausted, so it took her a full twenty minutes, but Zhou Rui did not rush her.

"The US's 'barricade plan' was the real reason for the destruction of the International Space Station. And afterwards, they tried to silence us forever. If it weren't for you, we would have died."

Zhou Rui looked at him with an incomprehensible look and said softly, "Are you sure? Or are you willing to take responsibility for what you said?"

Suni: "That's what the Russian Space Agency said, and afterward we discussed it. Combined with Houston's abnormal behavior during the call, this is the only reasonable explanation. I tell you because I can only trust you now. The world needs to know the truth."

Even if she didn't say anything about this, someone among the twelve people would tell it, but she still chose to tell the outside world.

This was something she had thought of while she was in space.

Zhou Rui nodded: "Don't worry, this is China, your personal safety and treatment will be guaranteed. I said, it will be useless even if Captain America comes."

Sunny was amused and felt much more relaxed.

Zhou Rui patted her shoulder and said, "Have a good rest. Don't worry about anything else for now. You may be transferred to a sanatorium in a few days. There are more treatment facilities for 'space sickness' there."

After leaving the emergency room, Zhou Rui was thoughtful.
Was it caused by the “barricade plan”?
So they made a big fuss and attacked a guy with a clear positioning and more than ten meters high, and dared to claim that they "mastered orbital defense technology."

But if this is the case, everything makes sense and is consistent with Zhou Rui's previous speculation.

He had just used a small shower to record Suni's words, but this recording was not the point, it was just a reminder.

The twelve living witnesses are the key.

In addition, Russia, as another party aware of the situation, also has a subtle attitude.

It is not difficult to analyze that the other party wanted to get a handle on the United States, but after the core module returned, this "handle" was no longer exclusive.

Moreover, the priorities have been reversed, and now those recordings are not so important anymore.

The "king" has become a "single three". Recently, Russia has become increasingly at odds with the United States and the West because of problems with its neighbors. I don't know what it was originally planning to do.

Interestingly, even afterward, it seems that the main players in the game are still the top three.

This matter has a huge impact and needs to be discussed with the organization.

----

However, things changed and developed faster than Zhou Rui had imagined.

Just as Zhou Rui reported the matter to the organization and everyone was discussing how to deal with it, the other party suddenly attacked.

A certain Black K organization calling itself Black Swan suddenly announced that it had intercepted a portion of the last words of the astronauts who are now attracting worldwide attention in space.

It is said that it was left behind when the core module was floating in space and had made contact with the ground.

At this point in time, this news naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The organization claimed that it did so simply out of a sense of justice and to expose the hypocrisy of the United States.

This is now the world's biggest news hotspot. Media from all over the world are reluctant to let it go, so it spreads very quickly.

The four recordings released by "Black Swan" are probably the four harshest ones cursing the United States, and the "suicide notes" of the four people can basically restore the original appearance of the incident.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Did the United States cause the destruction of the International Space Station? Did it even deliberately instruct NASA to block the chance of survival for the twelve astronauts?
The radio and relay satellites were locked, so that Taiyi Tiangong did not find the target until the last hour.

If it had been even ten minutes later, a hearse filled with twelve bodies would have landed in West Lake.
The world was in uproar
----

Zhou Rui had just returned to the hotel when he got the news.

A little unexpected, but not surprising.
"Haha, Black Swan. Big Goose still has illusions. This method is a bit petty."

Obviously, because "the person was really rescued", the "King" in his hand turned into a Three.

So when you have a "Single Three", the best way to deal with it is to play it out quickly.

Otherwise, in the next round, it won’t even be considered waste paper.

However, this method is still a bit petty, borrowing the so-called "Black K Organization". Anyway, no one in the three regulars will believe it.

Then the purpose is very clear, to stir up civil strife and then alienate the "single three" of Europe and the United States, that's all it is used for.

After all, most of the participants in the International Space Station project are concentrated in Europe. The impact of this matter is getting bigger and bigger. Even if these countries are pretending, they have to stand up and criticize it.

Later, Big Goose will follow up with some official actions, such as prosecution, denunciation, compensation, etc. If handled properly, it can really be of some use.

However, this preemptive move slightly disrupted the rhythm of our team. It was a bit uneconomical to let it explode like this.
Of course, even if China does not take any action of its own, China will be the biggest winner just based on the global impact of this incident itself.

The International Space Station exploded.

Space is about to become a pure monopoly.

Given the current strength of various countries in the aerospace field and the growing generation gap.

It can basically be announced that from now on, orbit, space, and the moon will enter the era of "since ancient times".

If you have the guts, just keep going to the poker table!

Thanks to the active development in the aerospace field in recent years and the influence of Zhou Rui's entry, "aerospace technology" has become the undisputed highest peak of human science, and countless people are "looking up" to this mountain.

And now, there is only one flag on the mountain.

Zhou Rui closed his eyes and his powerful analytical ability began to work.

Taiyi Tiangong, China Aerospace, Lingshu Biology, Kaiming Intelligence.
Hongxin International's chips, Huawei's communications and terminals, BYD's new energy vehicles, lithium-sulfur batteries, and perovskite solar cells.
Rongfei's Sixiang Weilong, its dominant power technology, quantum computers and nuclear fusion are also at the forefront of the world.

Multiple fields and multiple nodes together form a big network.

Zhou Rui followed these veins and went upstream.

Although some areas may not be the best in the world, they are still remarkable.

In addition, today's global event has such a strong presence, stirring up public opinion and senses in every corner.
From now on, when people think of the word "technology", the old synonyms will be broken and a new name will pop up in their minds.

From industry to products, to academia, all walks of life will be greatly affected.

Zhou Rui opened his eyes and got the answer.

That is
The four words "technological hegemony".

Starting tonight, the ownership has officially changed.

Zhou Rui stood up, fumbled in his pocket, and finally found a pack of "Lotus".

Given by others.

Then he took out something that looked like a lighter from the dazed little shower head. It was an electromagnetic shielding force field generator made of Liu Yao material - of course, it could really light a fire.

I walked to the balcony and lit one for myself.

This is his second cigarette this year.

I feel quite emotional. "Technological hegemony"?
It's really something that has a huge impact.
Compared with it, military hegemony is just an appendage and financial hegemony is like a plaything.

This is something that the entire civilization would benefit from.
It is for this reason that Zhou Rui felt particularly emotional when he came to this analysis result.

Was it all caused by the flapping of his butterfly wings?
Zhou Rui exhaled a puff of smoke.

No, he just stood at the front.

"Technological hegemony". Why isn't it considered to have existed since ancient times?
The smoke gradually dissipated and scattered in the pre-dawn mist.

Just at this time, daybreak.

A new sun rises from the east.
