Chapter 717: Ares Project

"Shock! US "Aris" plan starts, the goal turned out to be Mars! 》
的 Jinling University Office at the end of the corridor.
I was sitting at my desk, drinking coffee, and browsing the web page of Lu Zhou, and I just saw the title of this line.
他 When he went to the Internet to search the original text of the news and read the text, he shook his head with a smile.
"It seems Americans can't sit still."
According to the content reported in the news, NASA will launch the "Aris" Mars colonization plan within the year, and will use open tendering to dismantle the entire project into several sub-projects and allocate them to Space-X, Blue Origin, etc Space companies in the United States and its allies, and recruit volunteers for the world.
According to what has been disclosed, the entire plan will be divided into three parts. The first part is to first deliver the life support device to the surface of Mars.
确认 After confirming that the life support device is working properly, the second part of the launch plan will be launched.
Immediately, a manned spacecraft was launched to Mars, and 2-3 colonists were sent to the "New World" to prepare for subsequent colonial plans.
From Lu Zhou's own perspective, NASA's sudden announcement of such a plan is undoubtedly a bit hasty. What surprised him most was that Congress had approved the plan's budget so quickly.
However, unexpectedly, he did not understand the reason for this situation.
Tan Huaguo's series of policies in the aerospace field, and the Xiangrui's curve overtaking in electric propulsion technology have deeply stimulated the most sensitive nerves in the United States.
Especially this time the Tinder Plan and the manned moon landing plan to be launched in mid-February not only made the White House see the determination of China in developing outer space resources, but also made the White House feel frightened.
After all, space technology is not only a guarantee of national defense forces, but also a part of the glory of the United States.
That's why NASA encountered almost no resistance on the Congressional Budget Committee.
On the other hand, although NASA has made great strides this time, even pulling the banner of the National Space Council NSC, even in the field of space, even Lu Zhou has to admit that the United States is still a strong opponent.
The first flight of Saturn V was completed in the 1960s, with a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of up to 140 tons and a success rate of 13/13. As an alternative to Saturn V, the SLS system is known as the strongest carrier system in history.
In contrast, the Long March V, which China flew for the first time in 2016, had just reached 25 tons in low-Earth orbit and the success rate was only 1/2.
Although the electric propulsion system used by the Shuxiangrui achieves overtaking in curves to a certain extent, the carrying capacity of low-earth orbit has only reached the order of 50 tons. And due to the short board of the electric propulsion system on the thrust, this number is difficult to further increase.
And most importantly, he is not the only one studying the electrical system.
At least until he left Princeton, the PPPL laboratory has been working on the development of new Hall thrusters for deep space navigation beyond the Earth-Moon system ...
I put down the coffee cup in my hand, and when Lu Zhou was about to end his lunch break, when the office started, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and soon the sound of knocking on the door rang from the door.
Lin Yuxiang, who was sitting at the door, stopped writing and got up to open the door, and soon a heartbreaking voice came from the door.
"It's been a long time, Professor Lu."
"Secretary Yang?" Stopped the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou cast an unexpected look at the door, and stood up and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
书 This secretary Yang is not someone else, it is the second leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
When attending the state banquet before, Lu Zhou had a relationship with him and talked briefly for two sentences. Some time ago, the Blue Hall dinner in Stockholm and the meeting of the International Controllable Fusion Cooperation Organization were invitations issued by him on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, inviting Lu Zhou to attend.
It's just a pity that time didn't make it happen.
"Of course I'm here to visit you," the old man smiled, and walked into the office. "I deliberately chose to come after lunch time, didn't I disturb your work?"
"No, please sit down ... Lin Yuxiang, help pour a cup of tea."
"okay."
I have been in the office for more than a year, and Assistant Lin has already cultivated a good skill in tea and water.
In less than five minutes, a cup of hot tea and a cup of instant coffee were placed on the coffee table.
Sitting on the opposite side of Lu Zhou, Secretary Yang took a tea cup and took a sip, with an intoxicated expression.
"Good tea."
Lu Zhou smiled a little embarrassedly and did not speak.
This sentence is really difficult to answer.
After all, he usually doesn't drink tea, and every time he gets a little "unbranded tea" from Shangjing, he is divided up by several old professors from several institutes.
These things in the office were actually bought on a treasure ...
The old dropped the tea cup in his hand. Secretary Yang glanced at Lu Zhou's cup and asked with a smile: "Professor Lu likes coffee?"
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "Oh, yes, the tea is too light for me, and my taste is heavier."
Secretary Yang Yang smiled and said, "Haha, I knew you liked coffee, and I brought some coffee beans from international friends during my last trip to South America."
Lu Zhou said quickly: "Don't do this. I'm not used to drinking coffee beans, but I still like instant drinks after drinking for so many years."
"Your taste is really unique, don't forget, I'll keep it for myself," he choked for a moment, then Secretary Yang smiled and shook his head, paused for a moment, changed the expression of serious business, and continued to say "This time I am here in Jinling. First, there is an important diplomatic summit held here, and second, I want to ask your opinions for the central government on some matters."
I put down the coffee cup in my hand, and Lu Zhou gave him a surprised look: "What's the matter?"
Asking for opinions?
I have something to say ~ EbookFREE.me ~ You should have heard the recent rumors about the Tinder Plan, "After a pause, it seems that this sentence is not accurate enough, so Secretary Yang added," Of course, I mean internationally. "
Lu Zhou nodded his head: "Have you heard of some ... is there any problem?"
Secretary Yang waved his hand and said, "It's not a big problem, it just involves some exchanges with the international academic community. About two days ago, the International Federation of Biological Organizations and the International Science Council sent us. Apply and hope to participate in our artificial biosphere program. "
Xu vaguely guessed something, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask.
"What's the plan for the top?"
"No decision has been made for the time being, but no rejection has been made," Secretary Yang continued, looking at Lu Zhou. "At present, there are divergent views on this matter. Although we welcome international scholars to participate, this plan is after all It's related to our space strategy, and the risks involved are difficult to assess. I happen to be on Jinling's side as well, and I hope that I can ask your opinions. "
I said here, he looked at Lu Zhou solemnly and continued.
"What do you think is more appropriate?"
