Chapter 790: No you need

Electric propulsion system?
Learn about?
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Director Carson paused for two seconds.
Then, with almost no hesitation, he flatly refused.
"No need!"
"The situation on the New Virginia is normal, and our life support unit can guarantee that they will survive the crisis without any assistance at all."
How could Chinese people be rescued!
It would be better if I could not come back. Where did NASA's face rest after being rescued?
What's more, the most advanced technology of many space companies such as Space-X is condensed on the BFS spacecraft. The R & D expenses alone amount to tens of billions of dollars, let alone the life support unit that landed on the surface of Mars ...
He did not believe that these Chinese people would be so clean!
Looking at the expression on the face of Director Carson rather than broken by jade, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile, although he didn't mean to be gloating.
After a pause, he said.
"Really? But the three astronauts in New Virginia don't seem to think so."
At this unexpected speech, Director Carson frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lu Zhou cleared his throat and continued: "It's not interesting. It's just because of concerns about the colonists in New Virginia. We tried to accept the electromagnetic signal from Mars."
For a moment, a trace of cold sweat came out from behind, and Director Carson's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was not good.
"You listened to our communications?"
"Don't be so excited, don't you often do this kind of thing?" Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "Moreover, we just accidentally 'heared' during the normal astronomical observation."
"So what, our communications are encrypted--"
Without waiting for Director Carson to finish, Lu Zhou interrupted his speech with three letters.
"SOS."
"!"
Those remaining words were blocked in his throat, and Director Carson's eyes glared.
If at first he thought that Lu Zhou was in a bluff and tried to use his words, then this idea is now gone.
Forced to collapse the expression on his face, Chief Carson stubbornly said.
"We ... don't need your assistance--"
"No, you need it," immediately interrupted Director Carson, Lu Zhou said with a serious face. "This is three lives. You better think about it before answering my question."
After speaking, Lu Zhou reached out and tapped on the keyboard to end the communication.
Watching the interrupted video call, Director Carson was silent for a while, reached down and put his hand on his brows, feeling a terrible headache.
Three lives to go to special ...
Things have come to this point, who cares about these things?
However, he could not refute Lu Zhou's words.
If Huaguo publishes those communication documents containing information for help, and they do nothing ...
It will be a disastrous blow to the credibility of the authorities.
Perhaps the United States can ignore the life and death of those astronauts, but the White House can't, and he can't. Any policy maker involved in this issue can't ignore the impact behind it.
If ten minutes ago he was able to cover up the accident with an accident or natural disaster, now he has been forced to a crossroad where he has to make a choice ...
If not saved, this accident, which should have been an accident, will turn into a murder!
Standing next to Director Carson, the assistant swallowed.
"Sir? Are you ... okay?"
"I'm fine," putting down his hand on his eyebrow, and Director Carson looked at the sight of the command center for a while, then looked back to the secretary behind him and said.
"Prepare the car ... I'm going to the White House now."
This kind of thing can only be left to the president.
The assistant asked for a moment.
"right now?"
"Right now!"
...
At the same time, Jinling Advanced Institute.
After the communication, Lu Zhou exhaled a breath and leaned back on the office chair.
He is not very good at negotiating, but believes that his meaning has been accurately conveyed to Director Carson. If there is no official response from the United States, he will actively disclose these communications data.
At that point, if the United States still does not give an official response, the Lunar Orbit Construction Commission will unilaterally announce humanitarian relief to the New Virginia colonialists.
After all, you do n’t save people, so you ca n’t stop others from saving, right?
As for the benefits of bringing people back?
Whether a person is dead or alive is actually not important at all. Being alive is a huge boost to the national prestige and international image of China.
Lu Zhou was curious about the technology used in that life support unit and the BFS spacecraft floating in Mars orbit. Even sending a researcher to see it is a very meaningful thing.
At this time, the computer signal light flickered slightly, and a string of bubbles popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, someone tried to transfer a Trojan to your computer. (??? )】
Trojan?
Mostly an intelligence agency like the CIA?
Lu Zhou was not surprised at all during this period. After all, Carson was also a ministerial official. It was strange that he sent a video request to his computer and was not caught by the CIA.
Lu Zhou: "Can it be solved?"
[Not a big problem! (≧? ≦)】
Lu Zhou nodded his head: "It's up to you. If it's convenient, give them a lesson by the way, but don't overdo it."
Xiao Ai: [Received, wrapped in Xiao Ai! (??????) ??】
The bubbles disappear.
The fan of the laptop turned for a while, and soon there was no movement.
Lu Zhou estimated that the problem was probably resolved, so he took the phone out of his pocket, opened the address book, and called Hou Guang's side.
The phone rang three times and was quickly connected.
No excessive greetings ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Lu Zhou directly ordered.
"Let the ground command begin to calculate the course. Within 12 hours, I need an accurate, electric propulsion system, the fastest transfer orbit from the moon to Mars!"
"In addition, the rescue mission was assigned to the Xiaguang who was performing the mission on the Earth-moon transfer orbit. Let them first prepare for the rescue mission, send the stationed astronauts to the Yuegong space station, and immediately complete the supply of working fluid, Stand by in lunar orbit. "
On the Moon Palace, there is a special space cargo bay, which stores the spare fusion battery and the propulsion medium. Since this space station originally existed as a "lunar port", it is natural that there is no problem in completing the supply of working medium on the Lunar Palace.
After hearing Lu Zhou's order, Hou Guang looked suddenly and asked immediately.
"Are there responses from the United States?"
"Don't wait for them to respond," Lu Zhou shook his head, and continued, "I really have to wait for them to respond, because I'm afraid it's late."
