Since the Soviet Union launched the first manned spacecraft in 1961, countries around the world have turned their attention to the boundless starry sky above their heads and started a vigorous space race.

In 1969, American astronaut Armstrong landed on the moon, making the United States the second country in the world to independently possess manned space technology.

Then in 2003, Shenzhou V was launched into space, and China officially became a new member of the manned space club, the third country in the world with independent manned space capability.

Why are countries around the world so keen on space industry?

President Kennedy gave the answer in his speech before the Apollo moon landing: "If this brief but progressive history teaches us anything, it is that man is unwavering and unstoppable in his quest for knowledge and progress.

Space exploration will continue, whether we participate or not. It is always a great adventure, and no country that aspires to lead the world wants to stop in the space race.

Our forefathers brought this country the first wave of the Industrial Revolution, the first wave of modern inventions, the first wave of nuclear power. And my generation will never be willing to be succumbed to the coming wave of the Space Age."

The title of this speech is "We Choose to Go to the Moon."

Yes, we chose to go to the moon.

Because the stars are there, waiting to be conquered.

Under the technological blockade of the West against Red China, China at that time had not yet mastered manned space technology. It was not until the Soviet Union, a behemoth, collapsed that China, which had been cautiously developing its military under the shadow of nuclear war, finally breathed a sigh of relief and developed the ambition to reach the moon.

On September 21, 1992, China decided to start its manned space program in secret and established a three-step development strategy.

The "three major challenges of manned space technology" mentioned by Le Jing in the letter refer to: 1. High-thrust launch vehicle technology to send very heavy spacecraft into low-Earth orbit; 2. Satellite safe return technology; 3. Good environmental control and life support system technology.

Only when a country solves these three problems can it truly possess manned space technology.

Le Jing intends to play a game of cat and mouse with the Chinese government at this time.

It is not that he goes to the government and begs for help from the state apparatus, but that he needs the state apparatus to find him and protect him after confirming his value.

He would make himself the biggest bug in the world.

He will give China of this era a chance to cheat in the Earth Online game.

…

…

As night fell, only a few rays of blood-red sunset were left burning in the sky.

The office of Academician Xu Fang, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been surrounded by three layers of soldiers inside and outside, with special forces armed with real guns and nuclear bombs guarding the door. A young man with a flat head is sitting in Xu Fang's seat, checking his computer.

Xu Fang knew that in the next room, there were also a dozen people running computers to assist the teenager in completing his work.

The young man frowned and typed on the keyboard quickly with his hands. His movements were so fast that one could almost see an afterimage. In the quiet space, the sound of the young man typing was particularly harsh.

Xu Fang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was filled with anxiety, his mind was in turmoil, and he was full of doubts, but he did not dare to speak out to interrupt the boy's work.

He thought of everything that happened in the morning four days ago. After feeling a strong sense of unreality, a fear that went deep into his bones arose in his heart.

The day before yesterday, when he opened his computer as usual to look up paper information, an email popped up directly on the computer screen.

He subconsciously opened the email and saw the content that made him turn pale and sweat profusely.

"I know you have already come up with the idea of setting up a secret laboratory to secretly research manned space technology. Maybe I can help you and help you solve the three major problems of space technology, as long as you can find me."

Xu Fang's face immediately became serious. At this moment, he did not take the content of the letter to heart. As for the huge attachment attached to the email, he did not even think about downloading it. Who knows what is inside? What if it is a malicious attack virus?

He is now worried about the confidential research materials saved in his computer!

His computer was not connected to the Internet, and had a dedicated firewall set up by the country's top technicians, but the hacker was able to penetrate through the layers of protection and send the letter to him!

At first, Xu Fang thought that this was just an intrusion by hackers from another country, but the subsequent development of the incident was full of magical realism.

The technical team sent by the country downloaded the attachment and found high-definition detailed drawings of high-thrust launch vehicles and rocket parts, as well as key information on some manned space technology.

The state urgently secretly convened aerospace scientists from the Academy of Sciences and some secret departments to study the information and confirm its authenticity. As the president of the National Academy of Sciences, Xu Fang naturally participated in the research.

Hundreds of experts and scholars worked tirelessly for two days and two nights, and finally came to a surprising conclusion - the information was true and accurate.

Xu Fang was obsessed with the rocket drawings and studied them for two days and two nights without sleep. He studied mechanics, but he also had a deep understanding of mechanical manufacturing, so he could naturally see the importance of the rocket drawings!

Those drawings are extremely exquisite! Moreover, the advanced technical concepts and technical requirements embodied in them also exceed the current technological level of China! From Xu Fang's perspective, it seems quite feasible to use a high-thrust carrier rocket manufactured according to these drawings to solve the first problem of manned space technology!

More than a decade ago, under the promotion of Mr. Qian, they secretly established Project 714 to study manned space technology. However, they had no choice but to abandon the plan because of the low level of current science and technology.

But now, these drawings they had always dreamed of suddenly appeared!

There was something fishy about this matter. Xu Fang couldn't figure it out.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy suddenly sighed in regret, slammed the keyboard angrily, and then fell into a long silence.

Xu Fang interrupted his thoughts and immediately asked anxiously: "Why, what did you find out?"

The young man raised his head and answered through gritted teeth, "I followed the traces he left all the way from the United States to Japan, and from Japan to the Soviet Union. Finally, I found a string of code he left on the server of Peking University. After cracking the code, I found a sentence in English, which translated into Chinese is: Hahahaha, you've been fooled, you idiots!"

The boy lied.

The code that lasted only a minute before disappearing was actually very simple, and the boy and his colleagues easily cracked the message.

That's a web link.

The boy quickly found the webpage.

The webpage begins with large bold letters.

Major events in 1989:

May 16th - Our country's top leader met with the Soviet Union's top leader who was visiting China and announced the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations.

May 21 – Typhoon Brenda made landfall in Guangdong Province near Shangchuan Island.

May 29th - The bronze dagger from the Chinese Warring States Period, which was popular during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was stolen and smuggled into the United States and then transported back to Beijing from across the ocean.

…

July 19 – United Airlines Flight 232 crashes during an emergency landing in Sioux City, USA, due to engine failure. 111 people are killed and 185 are rescued. It is one of the most well-documented air disasters in aviation history.

July 31 - Residents of Sai Kung, Hong Kong, held a sit-in in the area around the West Dam of High Island Reservoir to protest against the Hong Kong government's construction of a center for Vietnamese boat people there.

…

December 16th - A China Civil Aviation flight flying from Beijing to New York was hijacked and made an emergency landing in Tokyo, Japan.

At the bottom of the webpage, there is a paragraph: 'I am a time traveler from the future. If you can find me, I will give China a chance to cheat.

PS: Friendly reminder, on Christmas Day 1991, our Soviet Union was about to disintegrate, so be prepared to pick up bargains. Friendly reminder, at that time, someone once exchanged unsalable canned goods for airplanes. '

The boy used all his strength to hide his shock. If the things on the computer were true, then they were top secrets of the country, and the fewer people who knew about them, the better!

He used all his strength to make a teasing expression: "I guess it's a prank by some foreign red hacker."

Xu Fang sighed, not sure whether he was disappointed or not.

The young man looked at him deeply, his eyes flashing with a strange light. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, as if he was afraid of disturbing some existence in the dark. "Although it was a prank, the information seems to be real. Why do you think that person did this?"

Xu Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This is something I can't figure out. I even considered whether this information is a conspiracy by foreign countries to use wrong information to hinder the development of our country's science and technology."

Although based on his initial investigation, the information seems to be quite authentic, but no one can guarantee that the information is 100% true.

The young man smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, we will find him and get the truth out of him. This friend will pay for his mischief."

They will mobilize the entire state machinery and dig deep into the ground to find him.

Then kill him, or have the whole country protect him.

May 21, 1989: Typhoon Brenda made landfall in Guangdong Province near Shangchuan Island.

On May 22, 1989, the Fox Hunting Task Force was established. This task force was under the National Security Bureau. In name, it was to track down espionage activities within China, but in fact, they had only one mission: to find the unknown person codenamed "Can".

This unknown person may have the cheating opportunity that China has always dreamed of.

Of course, this could also very well be a foreign intelligence hoax.

So they must find this person.

If he really knows the secret of the future, then the country will protect him at all costs.
