For example, in another project, the China National Committee secretly developed human cloning technology, preparing to use clones to replace astronauts who have been secretly arrested when necessary. However, the technology has always been not mature, mainly because it cannot clone a sound human mind, and it is impossible to use clones to pretend to be astronauts. Otherwise, the intelligence system controlled by Mu Haoyang would not have created so many space accidents.

In short, confidentiality was absolutely necessary at that time.

In fact, it was precisely as a large amount of information related to alien civilizations was published to the public that human civilization eventually split into cosmic humans and earthly humans in the early 23rd century. More than a hundred years later, human civilization has changed its appearance. It has made great progress in many scientific and technological fields, such as quantum mechanics, space propulsion, nanomaterials, biological genetics, etc., and has gone through the most dangerous infancy and gained the ability to enter the universe. Therefore, it is no longer just fear and curiosity about alien civilizations. Imagine that if billions of people were always circling around the earth, the moon, which was once the base of alien civilizations, or even an outpost for monitoring human civilization, most people would probably not be able to treat this rationally.

Of course, it is impossible to keep it absolutely confidential.

However, in the face of powerful state machines, especially in propaganda machines, the secrets that are occasionally leaked will not only not cause serious harm, but will also bring some positive effects. This is easy to immunize. In more than a hundred years, topics related to alien civilizations have gradually changed most people, and gradually made human civilization mature, and no longer had great curiosity about alien civilizations.

It is undeniable that Mu Haoyang made the most significant contribution during this period.

In fact, this was also his last time in charge of a large-scale national project. By 2072, Mu Haoyang was already in his eighties.

In a sense, lunar engineering is the first step in the transformation and evolution of human civilization.

Before this, even on the International Space Station, the space activities that humans engaged in were all revolving around the earth, and all the resources needed came from the earth.

To put it simply, even humans are not.

The moon engineering has opened up a second site for mankind to survive and reproduce, and to obtain all the resources necessary for survival.

Of course, in 2072, the size of the moon colony was still very small.

There were only 120 astronauts in the first batch of lunar bases, of which 82 were from China, and another 38 were from nineteen participating countries. In principle, except for China, the astronauts in other participating countries were one male and one female. Interestingly, among these nineteen astronauts, sixteen were couples, and the other three became couples shortly after arriving at the moon. Among the eighty-two Chinese astronauts, there were only twenty-six women, of which 22 were married to male astronauts who lived and worked together.

They are not temporary astronauts, but permanent astronauts.

According to the signed agreement, 120 astronauts will live permanently at the lunar base, and only return to Earth to visit relatives for one week a year.

Only two-thirds of these astronauts are astronaut scientists and engineers, and the other third are engaged in life-related careers, such as two surgeons, a nurse, three chefs, and even three clergy. Their job is to turn the moon base into the home of astronauts.

Just a year later, the Moon Base ushered in its first new life: the first child of the American couple.

This boy named Julia Chris became the first "astronaut" in human history, and he was also regarded as the ancestor by later humans in the universe.

By 2077, the fifth year after the lunar base was officially in operation, there had been more than one thousand residents and more than twenty babies were born on the moon.

At that time, an interesting question arose, which country should the lunar baby join.

In principle, babies can be added to the nationality of either parent, but the Chinese government has made regulations that parents can also be allowed to join the nationality of Chinese as long as they are willing. Later, this regulation was adjusted, that is, as long as the parents do not object, the baby will have the nationality of twenty base countries at the same time.

In fact, nationality is already a very unimportant concept in the lunar base.

Later, with the emergence of more and more "astronauts", a new ethnic group was created, namely "cosmic humans", and the issue of nationality is also one of the important factors for cosmic humans to seek justice.

In short, the moon base has opened a new chapter in human history.

By the end of the 21st century, the population of the lunar base had exceeded 100,000, and a complete ecosystem and economic foundation had been established. It could produce all essential materials for life self-sufficiently, and also transported a large amount of materials to the earth, that is, exporting products to the earth.

At that time, it could not be called an export because the moon base belonged to the founding country.

There is no doubt that the economic ability of the ** is the fundamental reason for the development and growth of the lunar base, and it is also the reason why more and more people are willing to work and live on the moon. More importantly, the economic ability of the ** will inevitably lead to the ** political thoughts, which will inevitably lead to the ** movement.

It can be said that the maximum economic capacity of the moon base is the foundation for the development and growth of human beings in the universe.

Of course, with the first step, there will be the second step.

Although there are many extremely valuable resources on the moon, especially rare metals necessary for space activities, compared with the vast universe, the resources on the moon are simply not counted. Even in the solar system, the resources in the asteroid belt far exceed that of the moon.

As a result, after the lunar base gradually expanded, the march towards asteroids became the next target of mankind.

This spirit of continuous exploration and progress is the driving force behind the development and growth of mankind and the ability to descend from the East African Plateau to become the source of smart species.

Of course, it is probably worth discussing whether humans evolved from monkeys.

However, on this road ahead, there are thorns and twists and turns, as well as challenges and risks. When taking the second step, human civilization encountered an extremely huge challenge, and whether it can overcome this challenge will directly affect whether human civilization can leave the solar system.

In fact, this is not a challenge, but a fear caused by a huge concern about the unknown.

Absolute fear
