Sea of Tranquility base on the moon
The cold white beam of the searchlight pierced the eternal darkness of the crater, and the base commander's protective suit cast a slender silhouette on the radiation-proof glass.
The blue light from the nuclear fusion console was projected onto his retina through the AR glasses, and seventeen sets of parameters washed over his vision like a waterfall.
He suddenly reached out and hovered over the pressure gauge reading - the helium-3 compression rate of the third fuel tank was 0.7 Pascals higher than the standard value.
"Engineer Wang, reduce the power of coolant pump No. 2 by 15% to prioritize heat dissipation in the core module." He spoke into the bone conduction microphone embedded in the collar of his protective suit, his fingers swiping out five diversion instructions on the holographic keyboard.
The lunar dust was suspended in a silver mist in the weightless environment, and condensed into ice crystals on the edge of the operating table.
A hoarse reply came from the ground control center through the headset: "The viscosity of the coolant is affected by the low temperature of the moonlit night. The turbine speed is being corrected..." Suddenly, a sharp electric sound exploded.
The commander instinctively grabbed the safety line overhead. Through the dome observation window, he saw the Queqiao-3 cargo module, which was being assembled, shift like a kite with a broken string, and the solar panels on the module's surface sprayed dazzling sparks from the impact.
"The gravity anchor has failed! Activate the emergency plan!" The commander's roar triggered a chain reaction in the communication channel.
The hexagonal honeycomb structure of the base dome opened simultaneously, and six carbon fiber robotic arms extended out like spider legs.
The red warning lights at the joints of each robotic arm flashed rapidly, and the three-dimensional force field generator at the end stimulated light blue ripples in the vacuum.
A bright red 2.3-meter offset flashed across the monitor screen. The commander placed his palm on the biometric panel: "Authorizing activation of gyroscope coordination mode."
The robotic arm suddenly bent with a flexibility that defied common sense, and the force field ripples formed a traction grid visible to the naked eye.
The titanium alloy shell of the cargo cabin made a teeth-grinding friction sound under the action of the force field, and was finally pushed back to the predetermined orbit when it was only thirty meters away from the lunar surface.
Sweat dripped down the commander's brow and into his goggles. He marked the fault code "gravity anchor metal fatigue" in the holographic log.
Suddenly, an orange warning popped up at the edge of the AR field of view—an unknown signal source was scanning the base's outer protective shield.
Shanghai Lujiazui Financial Tower
Xiao Zhen loosened his tie, and the dark blue interface of the blockchain monitoring platform flowed in his pupils.
Seven hundred and thirty abnormal transaction records slithered through the dark web like poisonous snakes, each carrying the characteristics of the "Jiuzhang" quantum algorithm stolen from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He zoomed in on the encryption layer of one of the bills and saw the Atlantic Group's arms manufacturer logo hidden in the hash value.
"Director Li, I need the physical access log for the Zurich vault." He spoke into the video conferencing system, his fingers dragging three sets of abnormal transactions into the red isolation area.
The sound of shuffling papers came over the Ministry of State Security's encrypted channel. Li Xinmin's face was half hidden in the blue light of the surveillance screen. "Three days ago, a cleaning robot stopped abnormally for forty-seven minutes. Thermal imaging shows..."
Suddenly, the alarm on the lunar channel cut in, and Xiao Duo's holographic image emerged with the graininess of moondust: "A logic bomb has been implanted in the navigation code of the orbital gun, and the blasting condition is set at the time of the new moon." Xiao Zhen immediately called up the Earth-Moon position model, and the new moon countdown was flashing at 23:47:32.
"Let the Shanghai Supercomputing Center take control of the railgun." Xiao Zhen uploaded the electronic fingerprint of the Atlantic Organization's military emblem to the shared sandbox, "Use their digital signature to decompile the attack code." Before he finished speaking, the surveillance footage of Wenchang, Hainan, suddenly exploded with red light on the right split screen.
Hainan Wenchang Aerospace City Treasury
Zhenbei's finger hovered 0.3 centimeters above the laser grid of the iris reader, and the nano-monitoring rings on the two children's wrists suddenly beeped.
He turned around suddenly and saw that the electrostatic precipitators of the three "cleaners" were emitting millimeter waves towards the airtight door control panel.
"Defense Protocol A-3!" Zhenbei's roar activated the entire security matrix.
The titanium alloy gate slammed shut at the speed of free fall, crushing the left arm of the intruder in front into a mixture of metal and flesh.
Twelve swarm drones popped out from the ceiling, and the electromagnetic pulse guns on their bellies began to charge.
The disguised soldiers tore open their work clothes to reveal their mechanical exoskeleton. The moment the leader raised the electromagnetic jammer, Zhenbei had already pulled out a micro stun gun from his tactical belt.
The modified Tesla coil accurately hit the target within a distance of five meters, and the invader's neural implant overloaded and burst into green smoke.
"Dad!" Xiao Shengxun suddenly pointed at the dome and shouted.
Zhenbei looked up and saw five drones painted with the "SF Express" logo using lasers to cut the dome glass. The dark red cutting tracks looked like the claw marks of a devil.
"Activate the dome defense!" Zhenbei hugged the child and rolled into the explosion-proof cabin.
Eight laser towers deployed in the coconut grove raised their heads at the same time, and high-energy beams weaved a death grid in the night sky.
The hit drone exploded like a midsummer firework, and the burning wreckage fell into the sea, stirring up a cloud of steam.
Xiao Zhen's voice came out from Zhenbei's bone conduction headphones: "They are attacking the backup power supply of the smart contract verification node!" On the holographic map, the green light veins representing the ASEAN data link were flashing in the southern waters of Hainan.
London Metal Exchange
"Damn it! My margin ratio is automatically soaring!" The red-haired trader frantically clicked on the unresponsive touch screen.
At exactly nine o'clock in the morning London time, the entire trading hall was filled with shrill alarms.
The blockchain traceability system deployed by China is like a dragon awakening, freezing 200,000 rare earth short positions into ice.
A video window of the Tokyo branch popped up, and Sato, pulling his cherry blossom-patterned tie, roared: "All lunar soil and rare earth contracts are marked red!" Behind him, the red light of the central bank's digital signature verifier was spinning wildly, and every time a transaction was rejected, a trader would smash a coffee cup against the wall.
