China plans to start building a lunar base in about four years,    1     (kick) off with bricks made of moon soil, according to scientists related to the project, the local news agency reported. Ding Lieyun,     2     leading scientist at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, told local media that the first brick     3    (make) from moon soil during the Chang’e 8 mission around 2028.

China has previously said its lunar base will likely be powered by nuclear energy, and will include a lander, hopper, orbiter and rover, all of     4    would be constructed by the Chang’e 6, 7 and 8 missions. It wasn’t immediately clear in the interview     5     the entire base will be built with lunar soil.

“Eentually, building habitation     6     the Earth is essential not only for all humanity’s quest for space exploration, but also for China’s    7     (strategy) needs as a space power,” Ding said in a separate interview.

The moon is believed     8     (contain) a source of waste-free nuclear energy that could meet global energy demands for 250 years, meaning potentially hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of resources.

Yu Dengyun, from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, provided an    9     (update) timeline for the next three Chang’e missions. Chang’e 6 will launch in 2025 to collect samples from the far side of the moon, Chang’e 7 will blastoff the following year to search for water-ice,    10     Chang’e 8 should land some two years after that.

Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI) created the world’s first virtual child-image figure named Tong Tong,     1     (base) on artificial general intelligence (AGI) technology, said the institute in Beijing on Wednesday.

Tong Tong     2     (train) using the TongOS2.0 AGI operating system and TongPL2.0 programming language-     3     self-developed learning and reasoning framework for long. This training equips Tong Tong with abilities in active vision, comprehension, communication, and many other     4     (personality).

“Tong Tong possesses a complete mindset and value system similar to     5     of a three or four-year-old child. Currently, it is still undergoing rapid evolution and     6     (enter) various aspects of our lives in the near future,” said Zhu Songchun, director of BIGAI.

Tong Tong has the potential     7     (assist) in real-life scenes in the future, which includes smart homes, health management, education and training, and interactions. According to BIGAI, Tong Tong can provide users with a more     8     (intelligence), personalized, and adaptable industry digital intelligent human. “AGI is the most powerful driver     9     functions as new quality productive forces,” Zhu added.     10     strengthening research and development in high-tech innovation, BIGAI has also focused on developing talent in the field of AGL.

What do you think of when you hear the phrase “tiantuan (天团)”? Is it a wildly popular group formed by icons? Well, in reality, there’s probably no group     1     fits the name better than the band made up of astronauts, some of     2     were sent into space.

A few days ago, Wu Jie, one of the first Chinese astronauts and a trainer in the People’s Liberation Army(PLA) Astronaut Corps (大队),     3    (visit) CCTV 7 for a program. During the show, he talked about lesser-known stories about the lives of Chinese astronauts.

Astronaut training is really     4    (tire).     5    (bring) some life and color into their work, astronauts established their own band, guided by a conductor (乐队指挥) from the PLA Military Band (军乐团).

In the band, each astronaut chose     6     instrument they were interested in — Yang Liwei played the clarinet (黑管), Fei Junlong chose the drums, Jing Haipeng used the trombone (长号), and so forth. Typically, in the evenings, whenever someone played their instrument, astronauts in the same building would grab their own instruments     7     join in. In the beginning, many astronauts didn’t even understand the staff (五线谱).     8    , as they spent more time training, their skills improved.

Wu recalled a memorable performance by the astronaut band when they had a blackout (停电) suddenly: “Someone next to us held up a lighter, and the conductor signaled (示意) to keep playing. In the dark, no one could see the sheet music     9    (clear); all we could see was the movement of the conductor. So, we kept going. In the end, the astronauts completed the entire performance from memory,     10    (earn) warm applause (掌声) from the audience.”

The Voyager Program was conceived as a grand tour of the solar system. It was actually     1     engineer in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that realized in the late ‘70s there was going to be a     2     (gold) opportunity. And that was     3     the planets were all going to more or less line up on one side of the sun. And that’s really important when you’re trying to explore one planet after another, because of course all the planets in the solar system are orbiting     4     (independent). Sometimes we’re on, say, the same side of the sun as Jupiter is     5     sometimes Jupiter is way on the other side of the sun from us, you know, many, many, many billions of miles away. So, there was this time coming in the late ’70s       6     you could launch a spacecraft and it could actually go to Jupiter, but then onto Saturn, because they were both on the same side of the sun, and you could even possibly get Uranus and Neptune and maybe even Pluto.

The fly-by trips     7     (involve) the four planets became known as the Voyager “Grand Tour.” And this was the Voyager program: Voyager I and Voyager II. NASA officials have said that when first     8     (launch), the Voyager mission was expected to last five years. Both Voyagers are the only spacecraft so far     9     (explore) interstellar (星际的) space. And over the last couple of years, we     10     (follow) them through this transition truly out of the range of our solar system.

Livestreamers help spread reach of e-commerce, intangible heritage and cultural diversions in different ways nowadays.

In the     1     (absent) of a professional setting and a fill light, a mobile phone and a mobile phone holder are     2     Du Zhanping can count on for his livestreaming efforts.

Yet it was through this basic set-up that the 46-year-old man     3     (manage) to get a traditional felt-making (毛毡制作) skill     4     (know) to viewers across the country.

Felt-making skill is on the regional intangible cultural heritage list.     5     the improvement of people’s living standards over time, however, felt has been used less and less.

Starting from scratch, Du learned by himself how to film and then edit video, and is now     6     proud owner of an account with 150,000 followers.    7     (normal), he receives three to five orders during a single livestreaming session.

“In the past few months, my number of felt orders     8     (double) thanks to social media, with those from online platforms     9     (account) for about 70 percent of the total,” he said.

By bringing intangible cultural heritages into livestreaming studios, we can introduce them to more people while preserving traditional techniques,     10     expand their markets to boost both the confidence and income of inheritors.

China Mobile, the world’s largest telecom carrier by mobile subscribers, has successfully launched the world’s first satellite to test 6G architecture，    1       (mark) a milestone in its efforts to explore integrated space and ground communication technology.

The low-earth orbit test satellite is the world’s first to employ 6G design architecture, and it    2       (launch) on Saturday along with another satellite that comes with China Mobile’s 5G technology.

The 6G test satellite     3       (host) a distributed autonomous architecture for 6G, which was jointly developed by China Mobile and the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Innovation Academy for Microsatellites. The system, using domestic software and hardware, supports in-orbit software reconstruction, flexible deployment of core network functions    4       automated management, enhancing the efficiency and    5       (reliable) of the in-orbit operation of the satellite core network, China Mobile said.

Set at an orbit height of approximately 500 kilometers, these experimental satellites offer advantages such as low latency and high data transfer rates     6     (compare) with high-orbit satellites     7       travel at 36,000 kilometers.

Positioned as     8     crucial platform for future integrated space and ground networks, low-earth orbit satellites can address telecom signal coverage gaps in terrestrial mobile networks, providing higher bandwidth satellite internet services    9     (systematic), according to China Mobile.

China Mobile said     10     plans to conduct in-orbit experiments based on these test satellites, accelerating the integration and development of space-to-ground technology industries.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s first manned space mission. Since then, China, the third nation in the world capable     1     independently conducting manned space missions has carried out 12 crewed flights.

“Our manned space program has been developed rapidly. The scientists and engineers successfully completed each step we     2    (plan) for the program. ”Yang, now a senior official of the manned space program, told that he felt very glad to see the nation’s     3    (achieve) in space.

In August 1992, a special committee     4    (comprise) of high-ranking leaders decided that China would assemble a space station in the coming decades. The plan was approved in September that year.     5     marked the start of the nation’s manned space program. To meet the     6    (ambition) goal, scientists made specific plans and took a systematic approach,     7    (advance) patiently from simple, multi-day flights to complicated and month-long missions.

Initially, Chinese researchers came across the problem     8     it was difficult to design a new-generation crewed spacecraft. Thankfully, they completed the Tiangong space station last year,     9     laid the foundation for the nation’s first prospective manned expedition to the moon around 2030. Having orbited Earth about 400 kilometers, Tiangong     10    (expect) to operate for at least 10 years as a national space-based laboratory.
