“Shock! The US “Aris” plan was launched, and the target turned out to be Mars! 》

The office at the end of the National Quemoy University.

Lu Zhou, who was sitting at his desk and drinking coffee while browsing the web, just saw the title.

When he went to the Internet to search the original text of the news and read the text, he could not help but smile and shook his head.

“It seems that Americans can’t sit still.”

According to the content reported in the news, NASA will launch the “Aris” Mars colonization program within the year, and use the open tender to split the entire project into several sub-projects, assigned to Space-X, blue origin and many other US countries. Aerospace companies of the local and their allies, and recruiting volunteers for the whole world.

According to what has been disclosed, the entire plan will be divided into three parts. The first part is to first send the life support device to the surface of Mars.

After confirming that the life support device is functioning properly, the second part of the launch plan will be activated.

That is, launching a manned spaceship to Mars and dispatching 2-3 colonists to the “new continent” to prepare for the subsequent colonial plan.

Standing on Lu Zhou’s own point of view, NASA suddenly announced such a plan, no doubt it was a bit hasty. What surprised him the most was that Congress approved the budget for the plan so quickly.

However, accidental accidents, he does not understand why this is the case.

A series of policies introduced by Huaguo in the aerospace field, as well as the auspicious overtaking of the aerospace propulsion technology, have deeply stimulated the most sensitive nerves in the United States.

In particular, this fire plan, as well as the manned moon landing plan to be launched in mid-February, not only let the White House see the determination of Huaguo to develop in outer space resources, but also make the White House feel jealous.

After all, space technology is not only a guarantee of national defense, but also a part of the national glory of the United States.

It is for this reason that NASA has barely encountered any resistance on the Congressional Budget Committee.

On the other hand, although NASA’s steps have been greatly increased, and even the National Space Committee’s NSC banner, but in the aerospace field, even Lu Zhou has to admit that the United States is still a strong opponent.

In the 1960s, the first flight of Saturn V was completed. The capacity of the low-Earth orbit was as high as 140 tons, and the success rate reached the horrible 13/13. As a substitute for Saturn V, SLSsystem is known as the strongest delivery system in history.

In contrast, the Long March 5, the first flight of China in 2016, has just reached 25 tons in near-Earth orbit, and its success rate is only 1/2.

The electric propulsion system used by Xiangrui has achieved the overtaking of the curve to a certain extent, but the carrying capacity of the low-earth orbit has only reached the order of 50 tons. And because of the short board of the electric propulsion system on the thrust, this figure is difficult to further improve.

And the most important thing is that the electric system is not only his own research.

At least until he left Princeton, PPPL Labs has been working on the development of a new type of Hall thruster for deep space travel outside the Earth Moon system…

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Lu Zhou was ready to end the lunch break. When he started working, there was a footstep in the corridor outside the door, and the sound of knocking on the door soon sounded from the door.

Lin Yuxiang, sitting at the door, stopped to open the door, and soon a hearty voice came from the door.

“long time no see, Lu Professor.”

“Yang Shuji?” Stopped the pen in his hand. Lu Zhou cast an unexpected sight on the door and got up with a smile. “How come you are here.”

This Yang Shu is not someone else, it is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

When he was attending the state banquet, Lu Zhou had a relationship with him and had a short conversation. Some time ago, the Blue Hall dinner in Stockholm and the meeting of the International Controllable Fusion Cooperation Organization, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, invited Lu Zhou to participate.

It’s a pity that because time is not a coincidence, there is no achievement.

“Of course, come visit you,” the old man laughed and walked into the office. “I deliberately picked the time after lunch, didn’t bother your work?”

“No, please sit down… Lin Yuxiang, help with a cup of tea.”

“okay.”

After working in the office for more than a year, Lin’s assistant has already trained a good ability to pour tea.

In less than five minutes, a cup of hot tea and a cup of instant coffee are placed on the coffee table.

Sitting opposite Lu Zhou, Yang Shuji took a sip of the teacup and his face was intoxicated.

“Good tea.”

Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed to laugh, not talking.

This sentence is really not good.

After all, he does not usually drink tea. Every time he gets a little “unlicensed tea” from Beijing, he is divided up by several old professors in several hospitals.

And the things that are in the office are actually bought on a certain treasure…

Calm and easy going, put down the teacup in his hand, Yang Shuji glanced at Lu Zhou’s cup and smiled and asked: “Luo Professor enjoys coffee?”

Lu Zhou lightly coughed said: “Okay, tea is too light for me, my taste is heavy.”

Yang Shuji said with a smile: “haha, I knew you liked to drink coffee. I took some coffee beans from international friends when I visited South America last time.”

Lu Zhou quickly said: “You don’t want to be like this. I am not used to drinking coffee beans. I have been drinking and drinking for so many years.”

“Your taste is really unique. Don’t forget it. I have to drink it myself.” Slightly squatted, Yang Shuji shook his head with a smile, paused for a moment, and put on the expression of the righteous thing, continued. “This time I came to Nanjing, there is an important diplomatic summit here. Second, I want to ask some questions about the Central Committee.”

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Lu Zhou gave him a surprise look: “What?”

Ask for advice?

I have any opinions to say.

“Recent rumors about the fire plan, you should have heard it,” paused for a moment, it seems that this sentence is not accurate enough, so Yang added a sentence, “Of course, I mean international.”

Lu Zhou nodded: “I have heard of some… Is there any problem?”

Yang Shuji waved his hand and said: “It is not a big problem. It only involves some exchanges with the international academic community. About two days ago, the International Association of Biology Organizations and the International Science Council sent us. Apply and hope to participate in our artificial biology program.”

Something vaguely guessed, Lu Zhou thoughtfully nodded, continued to ask.

“What are the plans for the top?”

“I haven’t decided yet, but I haven’t refused,” he said, looking at Lu Zhou, Yang Shuji continued. “At present, there are differences in opinions on this matter. Although we welcome the participation of International Scholar, this plan is After all, it’s related to our space strategy, and the risks are difficult to assess. I am also on the Nanjing side, and the senior executives hope that I can ask your opinion.”

Having said that, he looked at Lu Zhou solemnly and continued.

“What do you think is appropriate?”
