Chapter 1396: I am full of confidence in the future

当天 The day of the press conference.
人 Crowd in Conference Hall 1 of Jinling Space Launch Center.
Reporters of various skin colors stood here, almost filling the otherwise spacious conference hall.
In order to leave enough space for the interviewer, all cameras, whether automatic or manual, have been arranged on both sides of the conference hall, leaving the middle of the conference hall empty.
"Do you think Academician Lu can handle such a big scene?"
Standing next to Director Li, the young man in formal attire looked around with a surprised expression and muttered to himself.
As the secretary of the office of the Director General of Science, Technology and Industry, this press conference was originally used by him as a spokesperson. But since Lu Zhou promised to be present by himself, he became a substitute.
Hearing what his secretary said, Director Li laughed.
"Coping over or not coping? You're kidding me. I'm afraid the guy has seen more big scenes than me, and I've seen a lot more lively scenes than this. Don't worry about him for this small scene. "
The clock on the wall clock came to the right time.
所有人 Under everyone's expectation, he dressed in a formal boat came to the stage.
In the face of the audience staring at her eyes, Lu Zhou cleared his throat as usual, and said with a steady voice.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Lu Zhou, chief designer of the manned boarding office."
"Originally in our arrangement, the second group of scientific researchers who went to the Mars scientific research base will start with the supply to Mars at the end of the year, but because we found a suspect near the coordinates of 15 ° south latitude and 1281 ° west longitude Traces of extraterrestrial civilizations, so the original launch plan was modified and the personnel and equipment of the second batch of ascent plans were reconfigured. "
"The following is the adjusted roadmap for the manned ascent plan, and the specific work arrangements for the" second contact "... please see the big screen below."
I used a concise wording to give a general introduction to the entire manned ascent plan. Lu Zhou gave these reporters enough time to take pictures during the ppt screening.
Soon, the ppt screening is over.
Lu Zhou nodded toward the staff nearby, signalling that the first round of questioning could begin.
In view of the content that needs to be announced, the news release atmosphere of the press conference is divided into two parts. The first half is specific to the plan, and the second half is the "human delegation" who makes a second contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. The list was announced, and a brief introduction to the identities of the delegates was made.
In order to make it easier for reporters to focus their questions, the questioning session has also been divided into two parts.
"Hello, Academician Lu Zhou, I am a reporter for Renren Daily. I would like to ask what are the highlights of the manned ascent plan."
I took the lead in asking questions, and the reporter sister of Renren Daily held out the microphone in her hand.
I smiled at her and nodded, Lu Zhou said.
"It is worth paying attention to, I think in two aspects."
"One is transportation, the other is life."
"From a transportation perspective, this time our all-terrain Mars rover deployed on Mars has strengthened the communication module and made many special designs for the sandstorm environment on Mars. In another aspect of life, this time we are going to Mars. It's just the scientific staff, and there are additional functional colonies. "
"Through these independent colonization pods and the pipeline connecting the core colony and functional colony pods, we will expand the scientific research base on the surface of Mars. In the future, we will be able to accommodate more scholars to carry out scientific research activities on Mars. . "
After the reporter from the Renren Daily question was over, another foreign reporter stood up.
"Hello, I'm a reporter for The Washington Post. We noticed that you used the word" suspect "when referring to the term" Extraterrestrial Civilization. "I would like to ask if this means that there is any To figure out the controversy, or about that extraterrestrial civilization ... are there any other new discoveries in the manned landing office? "
Lu Zhou: "The use of the word suspicious is only for my personal caution, please do not read otherwise."
As the questioning session continued, reporters from various parties asked questions one after another, and Lu Zhou also answered them one by one.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere of the conference was pretty good.
Although some problems are a little bit tricky, they are still within a reasonable range, like normal people will ask. However, when the reporter of the New York Times, the atmosphere at the press conference suddenly became weird.
The person asking the question was a white man.
I saw that he handed out the microphone in his hand and raised a question that had little to do with the manned ascent plan: "Have you heard of Xu Jing?"
Xu Jing?
He frowned, thinking where the name had been heard, but Lu Zhou couldn't remember it for a while, so he watched him answer.
"no, what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just a bit of an accident, you don't even know it," looked at Lu Zhou in surprise, and the reporter continued. "Then I will briefly introduce her. She is a reporter who once wrote a column for our newspaper. Active in the press as a freelance journalist, he is more famous online. "
I heard here, Lu Zhou finally remembered who that person was, and he dared to be the author of the popular article in that circle of friends.
Smiled slightly, Lu Zhou continued with a playful expression.
"Do you have any questions for your former employees?"
当然 "Of course! However, I asked such a question not because of her former employee's status, but because of the questions she asked, and all of us are thinking about it."
The white reporter stared at the landing boat and continued quickly.
"... As we all know, China has achieved quite outstanding results in the space field, and has the intention to extend the existing achievements to the distant Mars. However, this space race brings us in addition to waste of resources and empty honor Besides, nothing seems to have settled down. "
"Ms. Xu pointed out in her article that there are still many people in your country living below the food and clothing line, and many have not even done it by planes. Do you think it is realistic to develop space technology in China? significance--"
Wu interrupted the reporter's speech, and Lu Zhou answered his question in a rhetorical tone.
"Have you been to Los Angeles?"
Correspondent: "... Of course, that's one of the largest cities on the West Coast. Of course I've been there. What's wrong?"
Lu Zhou: "I've been there, and I've been lucky enough to take the subway there once. Have you considered when sending astronauts into space, and there are many homeless people, let alone planes, Even being alive is a torment. "
An awkward expression appeared on the reporter's face.
I realized what Lu Zhou might say next, and he quickly turned away from the topic.
当然 "Of course ... our country also has our own problems. Of course, as a reporter, I will reveal them honestly, but isn't it China that we are discussing now?"
"There is no doubt that you are the most influential scholar in China and the world. You have also made world-renowned achievements in your field of expertise! But like the soul torture issued by Ms. Xu in the article, do you think about it? However, the social problems that your research may bring, such as poverty and unemployment. "
"Are they the three examples mentioned in her article, in your eyes, do they deserve to have happiness or even the right to survive?"
I saw the sharp eyes of the white reporter who was on the stage, and Lu Zhou was almost sure that this guy was probably premeditated.
However, even if he knew this, Lu Zhou didn't have any accidents or nervousness.
问 Asking something that made people laugh at the press conference is also a tradition of American journalists.
He looked at him with a smile, and Lu Zhou gave his answer in an understatement.
"Honestly, I didn't think about it and didn't care much."
骚 The sound of a commotion at the press conference.
Even the white reporter opened his eyes wide. It seemed that Lu Zhou would not have been so direct and went straight into the trap he set in the question.
Looking at the scene of the press conference that spread the commotion, he even thought about it, the headline title of the New York Times tomorrow.
Seeing that the scene was a little bit uncontrollable, Director Li was anxious, and while madly winking at Lu Zhou on the stage, he pulled the secretary next to him, trying to get him to save the scene and get Academician Lu down.
However, Lu Zhou didn't seem to see it at all, ignoring Director Li's wink.
After Xu paused for a moment, he continued.
就像 "Like now, you expect me to be like a great man."
"Resolve all your troubles for you, prepare buns and bread for you when you are hungry, cut it into pieces when you are too lazy to do it, it is best to stuff it into your mouth and watch you eat Go down ... "
Looking at the expression on the reporter's face, Lu Zhou said politely.
"But it is impossible."
科技 "Technology is only a tool for creating wealth, and it is only a tool for creating wealth."
"Someone else has to study new sociological theories, study new production relations and resource allocation methods, and lay the theoretical foundation for the new system. Because our social scientists know how to allocate these wealth is the solution. The best way to deal with inequality. "
然而 "However, no matter how you divide the cake, productivity is the prerequisite for everything."
"The development of science and technology will inevitably eliminate outdated production capacity, and jobs will change, but job opportunities will never disappear, but they will reappear in another more decent and creative form ~ EbookFREE.me ~ And our society will protect those who have lost their jobs due to industrial transformation, provide them with free training, unemployment benefits, and guide them to find their own place in this society. "
"If you can't understand what decent work is, go through your history textbook and compare North America in the 18th century with North America after the millennium. I believe you can find the answer you want from history. And if you I believe that the birth of lithium-sulfur batteries, controlled fusion, or quantum computers and space shuttles simply deprives people of the work and has no meaning in building the utopian state in your mind, so I can only regret your stupidity. "
所以 "So why do I say that I don't care about the issues you said."
"One of them is not the direction of my research."
其 "The second is that I am confident that people in the future will solve these problems."
"As for whether I am brave, this or yours or her will not question."
He paused, Lu Zhou continued.
"This trip to Mars."
"I will lead the team myself."
At the moment when the words of his voice fell, it was not just the reporter who had asked the question that was full of shock.
The whole conference hall 1 was blown up by the noise ...
