Chapter 1394 Playing with the Skull and Bones Society

Seeing that the situation was about to break out, Jia Ting's aunt also noticed that if she continued to mess around like this, it might really be counterproductive. This old woman rarely used her brains and took her husband to sit down.

After going down, Jia Ting's father didn't say anything when he saw her, and he stopped asking them to go back first. However, after all, it was impossible to continue here after so many things happened, so he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Jia Ting had no problem going back, so she and Li Cong continued to stay. After all, only the aunt's family ate the food on such a big table, and the others were still hungry.

"Go and change all the food on the table. Just get us two delicious side dishes." Li Cong said to the waiter. It felt a bit uncomfortable for two people to eat at such a big table.

Then we walked to the tea machine.

"I'm really sorry, I made you laugh at the family affairs, but I still want to thank you properly anyway. Grandpa is really happy today. In fact, I haven't seen grandpa so happy for a long time. In the past, grandpa saw

I laugh sometimes, but I'm not as happy as I am today." Jia Ting is a filial girl. Seeing her grandfather happy now, she was also very happy and kept emphasizing this matter.

"Actually, you don't need to thank me. Just like you, I have deep feelings for my grandfather's generation. My grandfather was also like this back then. What he liked most was eating together as a family. At that time, my grandfather was

Those who can drink a pound of wine are just older. No matter how good the medical conditions are, they cannot prevent people from passing away." Thinking of Li Cong's grandfather Li Cong is obviously a little sad, but thinking that there is no Jia in his family

For people like Ting's aunt, her grandfather was very lucky. At least he was very happy when he was alive and didn't have so many worries.

"Actually, our family was very good when I was a child, but since the 1990s, both my aunt and uncle have lost their jobs. My aunt was doing well before, but my uncle was not doing well.

, my grandfather always said that it was a mistake to ask my aunt to find my uncle, but I think they are just a family. After they lost their jobs, they didn’t want to go out to work. The way they thought of to make a living was to give my grandparents to

I took them to their home and raised them, but it was pretty good that they didn't bully the old man. Every time my father and uncle took money back, they would always find a way to get it out of the old man. Neither did my father or uncle.

Method, every time they have to pick up the old man, there will be conflicts of one kind or another, and the matter has been delayed until now. If grandpa's health had not been in decline, they would probably still want to use this method to continue living." Jia Ting thought.

I would also hate the look of my own aunt, that face is really unbelievable.

"Haha, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. In fact, you see that many people seem to have nothing to do. In fact, there are many things at home, just like the things in your family. How would I know if I hadn't encountered it?

The situation in your family is still like this. You are enthusiastic about charity. In my impression, those who are enthusiastic about charity should have everything in good condition at home, but you are not. What does this mean? What does it mean that you are better than those who are passionate about charity?

People who do charity are much nobler, at least you have to endure much more than them, and I admire you very much for this." Li Cong said with a smile, he was actually just trying to comfort Jia Ting.

, he could see that Jia Ting was very uncomfortable now.

"Are you trying to comfort people? Why do I feel that what you say means that you haven't settled your own affairs yet, so you want to meddle in other people's affairs? Is that what you mean?" Jia Ting went up and gave Li

For a moment, he said, don’t say it, if you talk about it from this aspect, it really means something, but Li Cong really didn’t mean it. This action seemed to dilute the embarrassment just now, and both of them felt that they were

I was really hungry, and I wolfed down the food. I had heard that the food here was delicious before, and Jia Ting really believed it now. After dinner, it was almost evening, and Jia Ting still had something to do.

He left first. At this time, Li returned to the control room at home to see things about Jupiter detection. At the same time, people here in Cape Canaveral in the United States were also watching all this.

They learned about the energy group's launch plan at a high cost. If they didn't hurry up and observe, it would be them.

Cape Canaveral is located as a well-known aviation coast. Nearby are the Kennedy Space Center and Canaveral Air Force Base. The U.S. space shuttles are launched from these two places, so Canaveral

Cape Canaveral has become synonymous with them. The eastern part of Cape Canaveral is close to Merritt Island and is separated by the Banana River.

There is also a lighthouse and Port Canaveral, and the city is a few miles south of Cape Canaveral. In addition, there is a Mosquito Lagoon, the Indian River, Merritt Island, and national wildlife.

Sanctuary and Canaveral National Seashore.

On June 24, 1950, the United States' first rocket "Harvest 8" successfully launched from the third launch platform at Cape Canaveral. On February 6, 1959, the Titan intercontinental mission was successfully launched here.

Test launch of ballistic missiles. All manned spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are launched from here.

Cape Canaveral was chosen as the rocket launch base mainly because it can make better use of the Earth's rotation. The centrifugal force generated by the Earth's rotation is the largest near the equator. To take advantage of this centrifugal force, the rocket must move toward the sky after liftoff.

The eastward flight is consistent with the rotation direction of the earth. Another consideration is that if an accident occurs, the rocket will fly to a sparsely populated area and will not cause huge damage. The best result is that the crashed rocket falls into the sea.

Although there are many places in the United States close to the equator and close to the ocean, such as Hawaii and Puerto Rico, Florida has very convenient logistics and transportation conditions compared with them. The tip of Cape Canaveral is the Air Force Base.

It was known as Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973. President John F. Kennedy was an ardent supporter of the U.S. space program. After his assassination in Dallas in 1963, his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, paid tribute to his successor, President Lyndon Johnson.

It was suggested that all military installations at Cape Canaveral be renamed in his honor. However, Lyndon Johnson not only renamed all military installations, but also the entire area. So Cape Canaveral became Cape Kennedy.

.

Although the name change was approved by the National Geographic Names Commission, it encountered resistance in Florida, especially in Canaveral City. In 1973, Florida passed a law to restore the 400-year-old name.

, the National Geographic Names Committee of the United States also agreed. Jacqueline Kennedy said in a statement that if she had known in advance that the name had a history of more than 400 years, she would definitely not have proposed a name change. But the space center here is still called Kennedy

Space Center. This is currently the headquarters of the Skull and Bones Society's most important outer space development plan, and all detection activities today are also ordered from here. Thousands of agents from around the world have dozens of aircraft in the sky and in the ocean.

Dozens of observation ships carrying large telescopes, as well as satellites in space and detectors far away on Europa have become part of the entire detection system. They just want to see where the energy group's outer space program has progressed.

.

The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is located on Merritt Island on the east coast of Florida, in the eastern United States. It was established in July 1962. It is the headquarters of NASA (national aeronautics and space administration) for manned and space missions.

The most important place for unmanned spacecraft testing, preparation and launch implementation, its name is to commemorate the late US President John F. Kennedy. The entire site is 55 kilometers long, 10 kilometers wide, and covers an area of ​​​​55 kilometers.

Covering 567 square kilometers, approximately 17,000 people work there. There is also a visitor center on the site, and visitors can also take a guided tour. The Kennedy Space Center is an important tourist spot in Florida. At the same time, because most of the Kennedy Space Center

While the area is not open to the public, it is also a U.S. National Wildlife Refuge.

The current launch command headquarters is at Launch Center 39, which is also the location of the aircraft assembly building. There are two launch sites 6 kilometers to the west, and 8 kilometers to the south is the industrial area of ​​the Kennedy Space Center, where there are many

The center's support facilities and management headquarters. At this moment, hundreds of workers are busy in Zhenghai here. They are installing three large radio telescopes, because they will be put to use soon.

Kennedy Space Center, Cape Navilar, Florida, USA. The Kennedy Space Center is known as the gateway to space for mankind. Of course, this was only in the past. It is close to the Atlantic Ocean. Due to its superior geographical conditions, it was opened for rocket testing in 1947.

The launch site. This is the area closest to the equator in the United States. Launching rockets eastward can use the additional speed of the earth's rotation to help satellites enter orbit. It is also on the edge of the United States, facing the vast ocean, with the Bahamas and the Bahamas to the southeast.

The West Indies are suitable for building a series of monitoring stations and are an ideal launch site for various spacecrafts. From the first artificial satellite in the United States to the world-famous space shuttle, they all set off to fly into space from here. The Kennedy Space Center includes

It has carried out all U.S. launch missions to geosynchronous orbit; it has also launched the "Apollo" spacecraft, "Skylab" and various interplanetary detectors. It is an important base for U.S. space launches. The Kennedy Space Center is 56 kilometers long from north to south.

It is 20 kilometers wide from east to west. The center includes two parts: the technical position and the launch position. In the technical position, there are rockets, satellites, and spacecraft assembly and testing plants. What is particularly eye-catching is the assembly building, which has a volume of 3.6 million cubic meters and a height of 160 meters.

, the building is equipped with various advanced test instruments and display and recording equipment. The launch site is built 5 kilometers away, with a launch control center and launch pad. There are 23 launch sites in the entire space center, including the famous No. 39 launch site

There are two launch pads A and B, from which many large spacecrafts fly out of the earth.

The long history here can be said to be known to any child, but his other function may not be clear to people who often work here, and that is to monitor the operations of the aerospace industry in various countries around the world. This is something that only the top brass of the Skull and Bones Society can do.

As we know, at least one-tenth of the 17,000 staff members are engaged in this matter.

The launch is about to take place in fifteen minutes. Although the launch location is far away in South Africa, the people here are no more nervous than the people at the launch site, because the road they have not traveled is now being taken by others. In this kind of cutting-edge science,

, for the first time they have to learn to imitate, rather than the independent innovation they advertise. In fact, American science before World War II could only be regarded as second-rate at best. It was Hitler and the Nazis who drove almost all the most outstanding scientists in Europe to the United States.

, without these people, although the United States is economically wealthy, it will certainly not be able to compete with old Europe in science. Whether it can even compare with the Soviet Union is a question.

In the 1920s and 1930s, the center of world mathematics was Göttingen, Germany, where the world's most outstanding mathematicians gathered. If mathematicians could visit Göttingen, they would be impressed.

There is light.

Hilbert of Göttingen was almost the Pope in the field of mathematics. After Poincaré's death, he became the recognized spiritual leader of all mathematicians (at that time, he was the great god of mathematics in the Soviet Union and the greatest in the world after Hilbert.

The mathematician Kolmogorov was still young), and under his influence, batches of the most outstanding mathematicians were cultivated and gathered around him. At that time, there was a saying that those who studied mathematics should pack their backpacks and go

Göttingen, Göttingen is almost a religious holy place in the world of mathematics.

The center of world physics during this period was also in Germany, and the two pillars of modern physics originated in Germany.

It is well known that the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity were founded by Einstein. It goes without saying that Planck and Einstein were both German physicists when it came to quantum mechanics. The three giants who created quantum mechanics are the founders of matrix mechanics.

Heisenberg of Germany. The founder of wave mechanics was the Austrian Schrödinger, who was essentially a German. His paper "Quantization as an Eigenvalue Problem" was also published in the "Annals of German Physics".

Only Dirac was British, but Dirac's work was also based on Heisenberg and Schrödinger. Of course, another physics center in Europe is Copenhagen, Denmark, where Bohr is chaired, but it is also closely related to Germany.

Relatedly, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was basically the work of Heisenberg and Bohr in their fanatical debates.

An important reason why the United States has become the world's science and technology center is Hitler's "Cultural Cleansing Movement." On April 7, 1933, Hitler promulgated the so-called "Reset Public Service Act" and announced the dismissal of all public officials who were not consistent with the principles of Nazism.

, thousands of Jewish intellectual elites were expelled from the social and cultural life of Nazi Germany, and the United States became the country that accepted the largest number of Jewish intellectual refugees. From 1933 to 1941, the number of Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria alone reached 104,098

, 7.3% of them, or 7622 people, are intellectual refugees, of which 1090 are scientists. About 700 of these scientists are professors, which is a huge wealth for the United States.

When Hitler came to power, the entire situation changed. Originally, the world's top talents continued to come to Germany to learn the best mathematics and cutting-edge physics. Later, Hitler continued to bring Germany's originally bright scientific elite to Germany.

Deported to other countries especially the United States.

For example, let's talk about mathematics first. There is this passage in "Hilbert - Alexander of the World of Mathematics" written by Constance.

"The rivalry between Göttingen and Paris was a thing of the past, and both Germany and France lost an entire generation of mathematicians. The United States found itself immeasurably rich, with nearly all the members of Hilbert's school and many others

European scientists all immigrated permanently to this country. Among these people are mentioned many times in this book: Einstein, Ewald, Feller, Franck, Friedrich, Gödel, Hellinger, von

.Carmen, Dehem, Orr, Polya, Sager, Tarski, Olga.

At the beginning of the 11th century, developed countries generally increased their efforts to search, attract, and utilize talents around the world. Statistics show that an average of 17,000 scientific and technological professionals worldwide settle directly in the United States every year, and 168,000 scientific and technological talents settle in the United States every year.

Through the h-1b temporary visa to work in the United States, 183,000 foreign students have entered American universities, and more than 40% of the world's scientific and technological immigrants eventually entered the United States.

Even with such strong scientific and technological personnel and funds as their backing, Americans have always been ahead of all mankind in the exploration of outer space, but now, where are they? They can only launch on Mars.

Although the scale is not very large, it is still a good start. They can only place unmanned probes on Europa, but the Energy Group has already

You can send people to log in. Although they may not be successful, you can still see how big the gap is between them.

"President Carbone, it's about to start. Our observation stations around the world are ready and can start immediately." Mr. Carbone, the new president of the Skull and Bones Society, led a large number of leaders in the Skull and Bones Society.

He also came to the Kennedy Launch Center. Although this place was created by the Skull and Bones Society, he had never been here in the past few decades, and he was not a president at all before. Now, the Skull and Bones Society has grown in popularity within thirty years.

Seven presidents have been changed, one every four years on average. There is nothing we can do about it. The Skull and Bones Society is deteriorating. If it does not have a strong leader, it may be eaten by the energy group at any time.

"Well, very good, we are well prepared for this matter. We must observe clearly to see what kind of state the energy group's aerospace industry has reached. In the past, others secretly learned our technology. It's really
