Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies.

Standing at the door of the Dean’s office, Chen Yunhai screamed for a deep breath, took care of the collar, and reached out and knocked on the door.

Soon, after hearing a “please enter” inside the house, he pushed the door open and went in, respectfully said.

“You looking for me?”

“Well, a little thing,” stopped the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou laughed towards Chen Yunhai standing at the door, then stood up and made a gesture to the sofa, saying, “You don’t have to be so polite, please sit down. Let’s go.”

After sitting on the sofa, Chen Yunhai expressed his gratitude to the secretary nodded who poured tea on him. Then he sat down on the sofa and began to look at the draft paper piled up on the coffee table.

I saw some difficult expressions and symbols on those draft papers. There is also a path of standard path like a ruler drawn with a ruler.

After seeing it for a long time, I didn’t see a little doorway. When Chen Yunhai was going to give up, Lu Zhou came over with a cup of coffee and sat down opposite him.

“Some personal interests, please don’t worry about it,” said Lu Zhou, sweeping the draft paper on the coffee table aside, then taking out a stack of documents with the printer’s oil temperature and gently pushing it on the coffee table. In front of him, “About 2 hours ago, we cracked the signal from Mars to Earth, I believe you will be interested.”

Upon hearing this sentence, Chen Yunhai’s expression suddenly became serious. After picking up the document from the coffee table, he quickly swept it.

When he saw the three eye-catching characters, his reaction was almost the same as that of Lu Zhou, and he frowned slightly and then frowned.

“SOS…?”

Lu Zhou nodded.

“Yes, combined with what is happening on Mars, it shouldn’t be a problem with our cracking work. New Virginia may have encountered a little trouble.”

Paused, Lu Zhou continues.

“For us, this may be an opportunity.”

At the moment when he heard the word of opportunity, Chen Yunhai’s eyes moved slightly, and many thoughts flashed in his head, but after half a minute, he still shook his head.

“I understand what you mean, but I am afraid it is very difficult… From the perspective of the White House, the Americans would rather have all of them die and would not agree to let us intervene.”

If China is allowed to take over the rescue work, it will not only damage the national prestige of the United States, but also bring a series of uncontrollable risks such as technology leakage.

Although this statement may not be in line with humanitarianism, aerospace itself is a risky thing, and the death of several astronauts is not enough to affect the overall situation.

From the perspective of the overall situation, if the rescue work cannot be carried out, it is better to let the three astronauts die so much than let the Chinese country intervene.

At most, prepare a unique funeral for them afterwards.

Perhaps Space-X’s share price will be hit hard after this, but the Ares plan will not fall so simple. Their researchers will learn from this failure and pave the way for the next success…

“I know,” put down the coffee cup in his hand, Lu Zhou nodded, and continued, “Theoretically, NASA’s spaceship is unlikely to be three astronauts in the district, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on special flights to Mars. A glimpse of … and still not sure if it can be successfully rescued. It is more in the interest of the US authorities to announce the death of three astronauts after the ‘accident’.”

“Yes.” Chen Yunhai nodded, “So I am afraid this opportunity is difficult to use.”

“Not necessarily,” Lu Zhou shook his head, said with a smile. “If we let the Americans know, what about the three astronauts?”

Chen Yunhai’s pupil narrowed slightly, and the eyebrows provoked a sharp arc of interest: “You mean…”

“Yes, let us leak the news from us,” Lu Zhou nodded, continuing. “You can’t save it, but if you can save it, you can’t save it…”

“That is not an accident, but a murder!”

……

United States.

NASA headquarters.

In the Ares Plan Ground Command Center, the staff are busy working in their respective positions.

Standing in the command center, Director Carson quickly spoke to the gloomy president and reported on the current situation.

“It has been confirmed that sandstorms on Mars are global climate events and it is expected to take at least five months to stop, and our colonists are facing –”

Toughly interrupted the words of Director Carson, the president said with a hint of anger in his exhaustion: “I don’t care if they are met with a sandstorm or something. I just want to know one thing. Where is your plan? ”

Director Carson was silent for a while, said a heavy tone.

“Mister… Although I don’t want to say that, but to be honest, hope is very embarrassing. Even if we launch the BFR rocket now, it will take at least three months to reach Mars orbit through the unconventional transfer orbit to Mars.”

President: “Can our colonists last for three months?”

Director Carson hesitated, and said in a difficult tone.

“Only 50% is possible… the premise is that they carry out some conscious self-help.”

“Now I can’t let them know,” interrupted President Carson’s words. The president categorically said, “Tell them, we are doing our best to rescue them so that they don’t have to worry!”

“But our rocket…”

On the gloomy line of sight of the president, the director of Carson, who immediately understood the meaning of the president, opened his mouth and gave the latter half forcibly swallowed back, difficultly nodded.

“……I know.”

It is more important to let the three astronauts come back and let them “close their mouths”. The premise for them to shut up is to convince them that NASA is doing its utmost to rescue them.

If you let them know that they have no possibility of living, and the BFSspaceship equipped with high-power telecommunications equipment floating on Mars orbit is still working…

For NASA, this will be a disaster.

At this time, footsteps came from the corridor outside the command center.

Soon, the White House office secretary appeared behind the two.

“mister ……”

After hearing the voice, the president turned back and looked forward to the tall man, frowned asked.

“what happened?”

Sucking a spit, the secretary continued in a heavy tone.

“The message was leaked.”

The president sighed a little and asked subconsciously.

“what news?”

“The news about the new Virginia colony…” A stack of newspapers was taken from the carry-on bag, and the secretary unveiled it and handed it to the president, carefully saying, “…you see it yourself.”

The newspaper is the Overseas Edition of Everyone Daily.

The newspaper was taken from the secretary’s hand and the president stared at it.

However, he just put his eyes on the newspaper, and his heart slammed.

I saw a line of bold capital letters on the headlines of the newspaper.

[Mars encounters an abnormal climate in a hundred years, global dust storms cover the whole world, and “New Virginia” is feared never before! 】
