It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

He couldn't believe that such a beautiful job could fall on his head.

This is a whole big project!

After the failure of the Biosphere [-] project in the United States, the research on the ecosphere was gradually neglected by the academic circle.

Therefore, these few professors basically don't get much funding on weekdays, and they are basically in a situation of generating electricity for love.

"Big, roughly how much money do you have?" His eyes sparkled with excitement, and his voice trembled as he asked in a low voice.

Lu Yongchang frowned slightly.

funding...

This is a problem.

After all, he had never considered this thing before.

The chairman of the congress and the others have never restricted him in terms of funds.

"In short, the funds are sufficient!"

Lv Yongchang held back for a long time, then he said, "Don't worry about this, if it's not enough, I'll go to the chairperson to get it for you!"

The next moment, the eyes of the professors in front of them lit up!

"Professor Lu, please trust me!"

The leading professor said with a green light in his eyes, breathing rapidly.

Ever since he chose this extremely unpopular research direction, he has never heard such a grand promise!

Chapter 84 Target: The Moon (Two in One)

"Cough cough!"

Lu Yongchang looked at the professor in front of him with strange eyes, coughed twice and said.

"The project site is located in the Taklamakan Desert."

"Once the project starts, you will need to spend several years in the artificial ecosystem. Have you thought about this clearly?"

As soon as the words fell, several professors in front of him patted their chests and said: "Don't worry, Professor Lu, we have already thought about this when we came here!"

"As long as it allows us to conduct research on the artificial biosphere project, we can live in it for a lifetime!"

"That's right!"

"It's been so many years, we're finally going to make it through!!"

"..."

Hearing the sighs of the professors in front of him, Lu Yongchang had a wry smile on his face.

……

With the successful conclusion of the meeting, Xia Guo News reported this event that was enough to be recorded in history.

"Our news, this evening, the scientific research seminar held at Sandaokou University officially ended."

"During the meeting, Director Lu had several hours of exchanges and discussions with academicians and professors on Xia Guo's future scientific research direction."

"During the meeting, Director Lu announced that Xia Guo will launch the Moon Palace Project immediately. At the same time, Xia Guo will restart the Biosphere [-] Project in the Taklamakan Desert!"

At the moment Xia Guo News reported, the melon-eating people wearing scarves also fell into madness.

"Wow, shit, shit?! Isn't today April Fool's Day?"

"So, the Moon Palace project that Professor Lu said before, is it serious?"

"Upstairs, judging from the current situation, not to mention the Moon Palace project, it is estimated that the Nantianmen project is also serious."

"Zhuo, this is no longer a matter of strategic deception! This fucking is simply a strategic intimidation!"

"Stop talking, I'm going to eat two Xizhilang jellies, and I'm going to be an astronaut!"

"Hahahaha, damn it, are you going to kill me laughing upstairs!"

"Solve the psychological shadow of the United States at this moment 23333."

……

It is difficult to calculate the psychological shadow of the United States.

But at least, Albert's psychological shadow at this time is indeed quite big.

"WTF??!"

"Bang bang bang!" A sound of slapping the table came from the president's office.

"William Blair!" Albert's face flushed, and the blond hair on the top of his head swung up and down as he slapped the table, very elegant.

"Holy shit! Didn't you say that Xia Guo's three plans are all deceiving people?!"

Albert stretched out his slightly fat fingers, pointing tremblingly at a document in front of him: "Tell me, what's going on? Why did Xia Guo launch the Moon Palace Project?!"

Facing the president's angry rant, William Blair and Anthony looked at each other, and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, we didn't expect Xia Guo's plans to be serious..."

"However...according to NASA's prediction results, it will take at least five to ten years for Xia Guo to initially realize the Moon Palace project."

Hearing this, Albert's expression eased a little.

But after the previous few lessons, he became a lot more cautious.

He looked suspiciously at Moulton beside him: "Director Moulton, is this true?"

Moulton spread his hands, shrugged and said, "I don't know."

"That's what those scientists extrapolated."

Moulton also learned to be good, and directly threw the black pot at the heads of the scientists under him.

Albert took a deep breath: "When will the Pathfinder program start?"

"I mean, when will those three rockets go to the sky?"

Hearing this, Moulton's eyes became more bitter: "Your Excellency, the biggest problem right now is not the hardware."

"What do you mean?"

Moulton sighed deeply: "As of now, the Saturn-[-] launch vehicle and the Mars landing module are all ready, but... there is something wrong with our astronauts."

"WTF?! What's wrong with the astronauts?" Albert made an exaggerated gesture, "Are they going home to say goodbye to their parents?"

"...Sir, I'm afraid it's worse." Moulton was silent for a while, then said softly, "At present, there are no astronauts in NASA who are willing to participate in this project."

"They think going to Mars right now is just courting death."

Albert's face froze: "Can't they be forced to participate in the project?"

Moulton shrugged and looked at Albert with a foolish expression: "What do you think?"

"Fxxk!" Albert cursed through gritted teeth, "They're all cowards! Trash!"

"Why does NASA keep such a batch of garbage?!"

Morton: "..."

Feel offended.

He pondered for a moment, then shrugged: "How about...you go up and try?"

Albert's cursing voice paused for an instant.

"...cough!" Albert coughed hard, "Is there no other way?"

"Of course, we can solicit volunteers from the people."

"..."

Albert looked at Moulton in front of him speechlessly.

Is this a way people came up with?

When can NASA astronauts find volunteers?

……

early morning.

In an unknown slum in Wharton, USA.

Andrew was awakened by a blaring alarm clock.

Looking at the dim sky outside the window, Andrew sighed deeply.

He needs to go to the nearby construction site to work.

As a black man, Andrew has been treated unfairly since he was a child.

It is precisely because of his skin color that even though he is more diligent than most Americans, he still can only live in this dirty slum.

The only consolation is that God will not be prejudiced against him because of the color of his skin.

At this time, Andrew already had a considerate wife and a eccentric daughter.

Therefore, Andrew didn't complain too much about his living conditions.

At least, as long as he works hard, he can barely make ends meet.

According to the current salary, as long as he works for another 30 to [-] years, maybe he can change his family to a better place to live!

"Andrew, our daughter...will be going to school next year."

At breakfast, a word from his wife pulled him out of his fantasy.

Andrew's face turned pale in an instant.

How did he forget this question.

My daughter is of school age.

Going to school in the United States is not an easy task!

At least, for Andrew, it was difficult!

"I... I'll take care of it."

Andrew opened his pale lips slightly, and said bitterly.

It seems that I have to find a part-time job.

With a heavy heart, he turned on the dilapidated TV set beside him.

"Insert urgent news below."

"The U.S. government announced that it will start the Mars landing project within one month, and the project code name is Pathfinder."

"The project aims to create a second livable home for all mankind."

"At that time, NASA will launch three Saturn VI heavy-lift rockets to transport three astronauts and the Mars landing module to Mars."

"Three astronauts will conduct a three-month survival research on Mars."

"At present, due to unexpected circumstances, there is a shortage of astronauts within NASA. Now, the NASA government is looking for volunteers from all over the country who are willing to go to Mars and open up territories for the United States."

"The risk level of the project is relatively high. NASA will reward the selected volunteers with a reward of 50 US dollars. At the same time, the children of the volunteers will have the priority to enroll in public schools in the United States, and the tuition fees will be free..."

What is said behind the TV is not important anymore.

Andrew looked at the TV in front of him, and his breathing gradually became short of breath.

This, isn't this a tailor-made project for him?

Priority admission, free tuition, $50 reward...

He swallowed slightly, and turned to look at his wife beside him: "Amy, I want to participate in this project."

Amy's complexion changed suddenly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Andrew! Are you crazy?!"

"This thing is unreliable at first glance!"

"Launch a rocket to land on Mars within a month? When did the United States have such powerful technology?!"

Andrew gritted his molars, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes: "Amy, this is the news released by NASA, and the bonus will definitely not be less!"

"Even if I fail, you and the child can..."

Amy wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Andrew reaching out.
