Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Western Hemisphere, Virginia, F*I headquarters, January 5

Several agents are discussing a situation.

"A senior NASA expert, the founder of the Apollo program, escaped from the hospital? Are you sure this is not a side story? Besides, why should it be handed over to the F*I? Shouldn't it be handled by the police? Is he in arrears with his medical bills?"

"It doesn't seem like it, according to the hospital. He was suffering from advanced liver cancer. Not dying would be considered a medical miracle. He secretly left the hospital and lost track of him. The local police searched for him, but they suspected that he had left Florida, so he handed it over to "

"I still don't understand. What did he do? We need to send out F*I."

"Remember our 'another' failed space program a few days ago? 'Eye of Artemis', he is the project leader. Now there are two suspicions. One is that he made some major mistakes in the project and absconded in fear of crime. The other one may want to do something shocking before he dies. I don’t know the details, but the higher-ups attach great importance to it, so we must find this person! C*A will also be involved.”

“Isn’t C*A only concerned with overseas affairs?”

"His behavior may cause some kind of international losses. I don't know how much. Anyway, let's take action."

During the discussion, an agent held up a tablet and hurried over: "Guys, I searched for 'Hanson Doyle' on the Internet, and I found that his story has been spreading wildly!"

"Spread? Where?"

"The 'True History Foundation' of Master Zhou accepted Hansen's submission! The content was just announced! He swore on the Bible in the video that the Apollo moon landing was fake!"

This news stunned several people for a few seconds.

The door of the supervisor's office in the corner was suddenly opened, and the senior supervisor roared: "Jack! Find that damn 'Hanson Doyle' immediately! He just appeared in Nevada! My phone has been blasted! Superlative Emergency!"

Several people immediately picked up their jackets and prepared to go out.

The tablet was placed haphazardly on the table, and the video of the haggard and pale old man was still playing on the screen.

"In 1966, I was 26 years old."

——————

Hansen Doyle held up a doctorate certificate and took a photo with his graduation.

"In 1966, when I was 26 years old, I had just received my double doctorate degree, and my future was bright. When I was about to stay at my alma mater and serve as a post, I received a letter from my mentor, Charité Alexander, a disciple of Master von Kármán, Xuesen. ·Qian’s classmate, the letter stated that he is serving the country and participating in a very important confidential project.”

"If I am interested in exploring the universe, can keep secrets, and be loyal to the country, he hopes that I can help him. The address is in Nevada."

"I almost didn't hesitate. Exploring the universe is my lifelong wish, and serving the country is a high honor. I almost rejected the appointment letter from my alma mater the next day, carried my suitcase and went to look for my mentor. Only after arriving did I find out "There are almost only books in my box, and I only have one pair of socks."

Speaking of this, Hansen smiled slightly, seeming to recall his youthful impulses and good wishes at that time.

"I met my mentor Charité, and he told me that he was serving the Apollo program, with the goal of sending people to the moon. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for several days. I felt honored to be able to join such a great program. ”

"Due to the Cold War, although the name of this plan is known to the outside world, the specific progress is top secret. It was proposed by Kennedy in 1961, but it was stalled for two years due to the "assassination incident" in 1963. It had just been restarted when I joined. "

"My mentor also told me many other things. For example, the Soviet Union was much faster than us in the aerospace field. The Apollo project and even the earlier Mercury project lagged behind the Soviet Union in almost everything. This made the mentor very distressed. He said this was The strange thing is that there shouldn’t be much difference in the technical level between the two sides.”

"When I was in school, I knew that the Soviet Union was making rapid progress. Their rockets seemed to never stop, and their feats of breaking through the boundaries of human cognition were happening almost once a year. However, due to age issues, we cannot draw conclusions from the limited evidence. , to question the other party’s success.”

"I quickly got into work. Many of the people here are celebrities in the scientific community, some of whom I have even heard of since I was a child. I am more of an assistant among them, but I am willing to do so. Ruoyi"

"Both myself and the project itself have made rapid progress. During this period, the Apollo program also launched a number of lunar exploration rockets. Although no matter what achievements are made, they are still months or even a year behind the Soviet Union, but we are moving forward step by step. ”

"But soon a piece of news caught us off guard.1967"

After Hansen was slightly confused, he corrected:

"No, it was in 1968. The Soviet Union launched 'Probe-5' and 'Probe-6' successively, only two months apart. They carried some small animals to the moon, and after flying around the moon, they successfully Returned to the earth in two ways: ballistic and bouncing.”

"This speed of progress has once again widened the distance from the Apollo project. My mentor locked himself in the room for a whole day. He couldn't figure out why the goal he had just caught up with became far away again. Some Members even quit, thinking we had lost the race.”

"But soon, my mentor came out of the haze within a few days and became confident. I asked him why, and he told me the truth out of trust. It turned out that the information was transmitted through the lurkers we planted in the Soviet Union. The returned messages 'Detector-No. 5' and 'Detector-No. 6' actually failed."

"One almost merged when it returned to the atmosphere, and all the 'animal passengers' inside turned into ashes and mixed with molten iron. The other had an error of more than 10,000 kilometers when flying around the moon. It was basically No valid data was obtained”

"This is not something that a small character like me should know. In the context of the Cold War at that time, the main battlefield between the two sides was not aerospace at all, but a private confrontation. We planted countless lurkers in the Soviet Union, and the other side also tried every means to do so. Their people, since the first satellite was successfully launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, we have been doing our best to conduct a thorough "prevention and review" of its aerospace field, and through nearly ten years of hard work, we have fully completed the work. "

"The background of the times will affect everyone and everything, but it was difficult for people to discover at the time, including me."

"More and more news has been passed back by the 'insiders'. It turns out that nearly one-third of the dozens of lunar explorations carried out by the Soviets in the past ten years had more or less flaws and failures. , but the Soviet aerospace department is used to covering up most of its failures, and will only admit true failures in extreme circumstances.”

"This approach is not difficult to understand. In order to gain a so-called 'advantage' in the Cold War, strategic deception was very common. They were indeed more cutting-edge than the Apollo program, but the problem with the Soviet space sector was that they I’m used to this way.”

"When a rocket is launched, as long as it does not explode in mid-air or is witnessed to make any serious mistakes, the final report to the 'top' will only be some short text and pictures. In that era, there were not so many live broadcasts, video materials, and even many people Having no idea about space, even professionals have difficulty verifying the authenticity, let alone officials.”

"At first, they may really just do it for 'strategic deception,' but after doing it for a long time, it's like an addictive disease. Each of them is full of merits, everyone is loved by the country, and they are all kinds of people." As guests of officials, even because they don’t have to be so ‘serious’, the extra funds also give them extra material wealth.”

"Anything that is wrong can never become correct because they have forged too many successes before. The outside world and the top Soviet officials have much higher expectations for them than their true level, which forces them to continue to fake more and more, until One day, ordinary tasks must be completed through fraud, and once exposed, a large number of people will suffer, or be directly executed, or exiled to Kazan. So it becomes a kind of systematic fraud that cannot be stopped. "

Hansen smiled bitterly:

"I asked my mentor why we didn't expose the Soviet Union to the international community. We had a hundred reasons to do so, but my mentor only gave me three reasons."

"First, the information provided by the 'Deeper' is not taken seriously in the international community and cannot be finalized. In the end, it will only become a quarrel and sacrifice many people in the Soviet Union who may have existed for more than ten years. "

"Secondly, instead of doing this, it is better to use the 'deep penetrators' to get back more technology. The Soviet Union is still slightly ahead of us. Stealing technology can make us progress faster."

"Thirdly, the other party's systematic fraud can also be used to threaten the top brass of the Soviet aerospace department and make them our puppets. However, this is not something we need to consider. People from C*A will handle it themselves."

"As expected later, we obtained a lot of top-secret information, which was of great help to our progress. However, the senior officials of the Soviet Space Agency, who were fatally threatened, were moving slower and slower because of their own evil intentions. They were unable to concentrate on technology research and development."

"Everything is moving in a good direction. We solved many key technologies at any cost. At the end of 1968, we completed the first manned orbit around the moon. This was the first time we led the Soviet Union."

"Just as we were preparing to continue our efforts, new changes occurred in early 1969."

Hansen wiped his face tiredly and talked to the camera for a long time, which made him very tired.

But he must explain all the causes and consequences clearly and provide evidence. Otherwise, this video will just be like countless spam messages questioning the moon landing and will not make any waves.

Hansen continued:

"Everything in the world is interconnected. It was precisely because of the decline of the Soviet space sector that our own senior officials suddenly questioned the Apollo project, which cost countless dollars, and believed that we were wasting energy and money on manned landings. With today’s technology, it’s an impossible task.”

"The reason is also ridiculous. The Soviets, who have always been in the lead, can't do it. They have almost given up. This is so ironic. Everyone involved in the plan is not willing to be reduced in budget and is making every effort..."

"Many of us have come out of laboratories and space bases to travel around the United States, soliciting sponsorship and lobbying various departments. It has certain effects, but in the end it is not as good as the full support of the country."

"It just so happened that the new 'Nixon' came to power. This big shot who later became infamous had brought us a turnaround, but he also made a very counter-intuitive request."

"He asked us to go to the moon this year."

"I found my mentor and wanted to denounce the hypocrisy of politicians with him, but he said something I still remember."

"If the Soviets can fake it, why can't we?"

"Especially since they have been caught and dare not expose us."
