Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The afternoon meeting started.

As expected by Lu Zhou, the experts on Earth seem to have little say here.

Headed by Academician Yang Chongping, several heavyweight experts from the Tiangong City Aerospace Science and Technology Institute took the lead in expressing their opinions. Subsequently, several other aerospace agencies and engineers from enterprises also expressed their opinions.

In general, most of the experts sitting at the conference table have no objections to the demonstration of technical feasibility. Firstly, considering the current actual situation, the Pan-Asian cooperative aerospace companies do have the ability to develop the resources on Europa, and secondly, considering the funds for the second half of the year, they sing their own words on this matter. There is no benefit.

As for Lu Zhou, their views are actually similar.

From a purely practical point of view, developing water resources on Europa is indeed cheaper and more environmentally friendly than transporting freshwater resources from the earth to Mars.

In fact, as early as a century ago, Lu Zhou had considered including this water-filled planet into a part of its spaceflight strategy.

It was only because of the technical conditions at that time, and he did not expect that he could solve the problem of the speed of light so quickly, and expand the radius of activity of human civilization directly from the asteroid belt to the world outside the asteroid belt, so this matter Shelved it.

But now, they obviously have the conditions to move their footsteps to a farther world.

however……

When the meeting progressed to the next stage, the situation changed 180 degrees. The atmosphere on the conference table instantly became peaceful, and became tense.

Looking at the red-faced face of their argument, Lu Zhou had originally planned to talk about his own views, but the thought of doing so seemed to only add fuel to the fire, so he left for a while.

At this time, an old engineer with about 60 years of age and gray beard stood up with his hands on the table and raised the volume and said aloud.

"We can select four points in the central area of ​​the asteroid belt to establish a freshwater resource storage station, transport the sea water extracted from Europa to the storage station for rough processing, and then select different positions according to the movement position of Mars. The fresh water reserve station delivers water resources to the colony. "

A man with arms folded snorted and retorted with a mocking tone.

"Build a reserve station on the asteroid belt? And still four? Haha, you're afraid you haven't forgotten, those active air thieves on the asteroid belt."

"We have this most powerful fleet of the solar system, which can provide us with security protection! I think this is not a problem at all!"

"That's the fleet of Pan-Asian cooperation, not Tiangong City," academician Yang Chongping said blankly. "Unless the Pan-Asian cooperation allows us to have our own defensive power, your proposal will never be established." . "

Hearing the big man's speech, the blushing man who had previously argued suddenly weakened. He was hesitated for a moment after being pulled by the companion beside him, and finally returned to his seat.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, the mayor secretary sitting at the conference table coughed lightly and began to play the role of peacemaker, smiling with a kind smile.

"Don't be excited everyone ... This idea does have some difficulties. We have been fighting for the right to self-defense for a long time, but there has been no result."

The man who had previously raised his arms raised an objection with a smile on his face, put down his arms and said with a pleasant voice.

"So this thing doesn't need to be so troublesome. Our long-distance shipping group's capacity is more than enough to maintain this route across the asteroid belt. We can completely transport the water resources extracted from Europa to Mars for processing. . This is both efficient and avoids unnecessary risks— "

"Mr. Yu Zhenghui," the mayor's secretary glanced at him. While interrupting his speech, the voice also brought a bit of displeasure: "Please pay attention to your words. The discussion here is about the development plan. Please do not Carrying private goods. "

The man named Yu Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders, threw out a sincere apology, and then stopped talking.

But the expression of the winning ticket on his face made the expression on the faces of many experts present not very good-looking.

Looking at the debate, Lu Zhou glanced at the tool man beside him who was also touching fish, and lowered his voice and said something.

"I always thought that the academia on Mars would be more united?"

"That's your illusion," Wu Qinglai said with a helpless expression. "Once anything involves benefits, there is nothing wrong or right."

Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully and gave an ambiguous view.

"It makes sense to say that."

Speaking of that, what is the opinion of Academician Yang Chongping?

Thinking this way, Lu Zhou looked unconsciously towards the direction of the academician Yang, but was surprised to find that the middle-aged man was also looking at himself.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that at the moment when the eyes of the two were in contact, the academician Yang moved his eyes away from him, as if he had just accidentally glanced at him just now.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly.

I do n’t know why, he always has a feeling that this seminar may not be as simple as he thought ...

In this way, the first day of the meeting ended in an unhappy atmosphere because of the disputes between several bigwigs, and the unresolved disputes were naturally left to tomorrow.

Perhaps because of the emotion at the conference table, Lu Zhou noticed that many faces did not appear.

During the dinner, Mayor Xiao of Tiangong City also made a special trip. After greeting these experts he invited, he pulled the landing boat and chatted for a while. He was more optimistic about the future prospects of Mars. , And what he intends to do after taking office.

It was not until Lu Zhou looked at his watch for the tenth time that this tuberculosis could not stop the conversation, saying that he still had work to deal with for a while. After leaving, he hurriedly left the hotel.

After finishing the dinner, Lu Zhou returned to his room, turned over the notes made during the meeting, and briefly sorted out some of the interesting ideas.

Although he has his own ideas on Europa's development plan, this does not prevent him from drawing on others' strengths and improving his own.

This naturally includes the academician Yang Chongping.

Even if he can feel that this guy seems to have some inexplicable hostility or fear for himself, he has to admit that this guy can do his job as an academician.

At this time, the door bell sounded outside the room, glanced at the picture on the holographic screen, Lu Zhou pressed the button to open the door.

As the door opened, seeing Wang Peng returning from the outside, Lu Zhou casually asked.

"Have you found a clue?"

A fart. Shares sat on the sofa ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Wang Peng sighed and said.

"It's not that easy. Today I just met my colleagues. Those of the foundation acted very cautiously. If it wasn't the case on the East Asian Power side that exposed them, we might still be in the dark."

Lu Zhou: "It seems that I have helped you a lot?"

Wang Peng smiled and said: "You are doing more for us than that ... Speaking of which, when I wandered around, I heard some very interesting rumors."

Lu Zhou: "What rumors?"

Wang Peng: "Recently, several extraterrestrial galaxy colonization funds are raising funds publicly, planning to build colonial ships to other galaxies. Has East Asia Heavy Industry begun to industrialize the warp speed engine? I have no news at all.

Colonial ship?

Hearing the word, Lu Zhou froze slightly.

What surprised him was not that someone hit his mind outside the solar system, but this time people actually took the initiative to walk in front of him.

"It should not be there yet, the relevant technology is still in the experimental stage, but we do have plans to make this technology civilian."

"Well, that's bad," picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and unscrewed. Wang Peng continued to rest after a while, "At first I thought it was a new type of financial scam and prepared a report To colleagues in other departments, but then I discovered that this matter is not so simple. Guess what, this project actually has the endorsement of the Mars Academy of Sciences! "

"Oh?" Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly and cast an unexpected sight on him. "Are you sure the source of the news is true?"

"It hasn't been verified for the time being, but it shouldn't be wrong," Wang Peng continued after thinking for a moment, "I remember the expert who endorsed the colonization plan of the alien galaxy, it seems like ... Yang Chongping?"
