Chapter 818: Souvenir

On the third Monday in October.
Today is definitely an extraordinary day for the two superpowers in the space race.
According to the schedule announced in the last working report of the Mars rescue plan, today is the time for the two astronauts to return to their respective countries.
The greatest rescue in human history spanning tens of millions of kilometers has come to an end at this moment.
Having experienced so many things along the way, the two astronauts were already exhausted physically and mentally.
After soliciting the opinions of the astronauts, Jones, originally a Dutch citizen, would return to Amsterdam directly on a flight provided by the Dutch government. As for Johnson, originally an American, he naturally took the flight arranged for him by the White House and returned to his home country.
Shangjing International Airport.
Huaguo Protocol Department arranged a grand handover ceremony.
Standing at the door of the special security passage, Johnson finally met his life-saving benefactor—to promote the establishment of the entire rescue plan, and sent Xiaguang to Luzhou, the chief designer of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee of Mars.
"Thank you," holding Lu Zhou's right hand trembling, Johnson's throat moved slightly, and he looked at him with some complicated eyes, and said falsely, "Thank you, for bringing me back from Mars ! "
Although because of his identity and position, the one standing in front of him can be said to be the Ares plan and even NASA's biggest competitor. But this does not prevent him from paying the highest respect and thanks to Lu Zhou himself.
"You're welcome," Lu Zhou shook the astronaut's hand back hard, and nodded with a smile. "In the future, I will have the opportunity to remember to come here frequently."
"Surely," he let go of Lu Zhou's right hand, and Johnson looked at the American diplomat standing next to him, took another look at Lu Zhou, took a deep breath, and continued, "So ... I'm gone."
"Well, go," he waved, Lu Zhou continued to smile, "remember to say hello to Mr. Carson for me."
"I'll take your greetings to him!"
Nodding his head, Johnson picked up his carry-on luggage, turned to the ramp, and boarded the plane.
Soon after, the hatch was closed, the gangway was withdrawn, and the flight took off.
As the roar of the engine drifted away, the aircraft had dragged a white line and disappeared at the end of the sky.
Watching the plane go, Lu Zhou narrowed his eyes and was about to turn to leave.
The American ambassador to China standing next to him smiled at him and stretched out his right hand.
"Thank you for everything you do for the American people and the people of the world. History will remember this moment of friendship."
"You're welcome. Although we have national differences on the planet, we are all Earth people out of this planet," shaking the hand of the ambassador, Lu Zhou smiled slightly, calmly, " May history remember, and may friendship endure. "
The ambassador smiled slightly.
"Most definitely!"
After the handover ceremony, there is a banquet.
Not very good at this kind of occasion, Lu Zhou pushed the banquet to another person in charge of the Mars rescue plan working group.
As for himself, he returned to his hotel.
When passing by the hotel lobby, Lu Zhou borrowed the printer equipment from the hotel reception, and instructed the reception to send the printer equipment to his room, and then returned directly to his room, and pulled out the unfinished one from the suitcase The paper on the lunar mass projector, after sitting at the desk and conceiving for a moment, followed the unfinished part and continued to improve.
In fact, the idea of ​​building a mass accelerator on the moon was not his temporary intention.
As early as about 12 years ago, NASA put forward similar ideas, and even completed technical demonstrations. Related papers are publicly available on its website.
In principle, the acceleration technology used in this facility is similar to that used in maglev trains.
That is, through a long and narrow orbit and electromagnetic acceleration technology, the ore or spacecraft is accelerated to the detachment speed, and then directly into the lunar orbit.
Of course, although the whole technical principle is a one-word thing, it is not easy to really want to make it a reality.
As the chief designer of the entire Lunar Orbital Construction Committee, what Lu Zhou needs to do now is, of course, not to make detailed drawings of the entire project, but to conduct an overall assessment of the entire project.
How long does the track take? What is the cost or budget per meter? Geometry of technical feasibility? How big is the risk? And most importantly, it was built on that crater!
For the data that may be used throughout the paper, Lu Zhou has already collected it in advance by researchers on the Moon Palace.
Based on his current LV5 engineering grade, plus the experience accumulated for so long in the position of Chief Designer of the Lunar Orbital Construction Committee, it is not difficult to complete the entire thesis.
After hitting the last line, Lu Zhou clicked the mouse and selected the printing option.
Soon, the printer sitting next to the table whispered, and after a while, spit out the paper with the warm fragrance of ink.
Take the printed paper and check it carefully. Just as Lu Zhou was beginning to feel hungry, footsteps sounded outside the door. After knocking on the door, Wang Peng, carrying a plastic bag, came in from the outside.
"Still busy?"
"Yeah," put down the paper in his hand, Lu Zhou noticed what he was holding, and asked casually, "What are you carrying?"
"I went to the headquarters in the afternoon, and when I came back, I brought you some souvenirs."
Then, Wang Peng put the things in his hands on Lu Zhou's desk.
"Roast duck?" Seeing what was inside, Lu Zhou's eyes flashed, and he picked it up with interest, "Good thing, what a giant?"
"I found it in the alley," sitting on the sofa, Wang Peng said with a smile. "No big brand is famous, but I personally feel more authentic."
"It's really fragrant ~ EbookFREE.me ~" Opening the plastic bag and taking a drunk breath, looking at the roasted crispy duck, Lu Zhou said with a smile. Listening to beer is perfect. "
Wang Peng, who had just sat on the sofa, stood up again.
"What brand do you drink, I'll buy it for you."
"No need, I can just call the hotel front desk to send a few listeners," he closed the packing bag, Lu Zhou opened the drawer, took out a paper bag, and stuffed the newly published papers. Compared to the small things of buying wine, I have some things here, so please trouble me to send them. "
Wang Peng didn't ask what he was sending, he said directly.
"Where is it delivered?"
Lu Zhou reached out and handed the document bag in his hand to Wang Peng's hand.
"West Forbidden City, Chang'an Street."
"It's in your hands, you know."
