Global sandstorm?

After hearing the words from Hou Guang, Lu Zhou subconsciously looked at the calendar at the corner of the table and confirmed that the year this year is 2021.

He noticed Lu Zhou's actions, and Hou Guang probably guessed what he was thinking, so he said.

"I know you're surprised ... In fact, the astronomical observers at the Qianzhou Radio Observatory are also surprised. On average, it takes five to six years for a global sandstorm to occur on Mars."

When he said that, Hou Guang's tone was a bit complicated.

Although it is a good thing for their opponents to be in trouble, it is just as NASA does not want to see them so unlucky. If the Ares plan goes bankrupt, it is not in their interest.

After listening to his report, Lu Zhou meditated for a while and began to speak.

"Is the reason clear?"

Hou Guang froze, and then smiled bitterly.

"How clear is this ..."

Climate change on the surface of Mars has been very metaphysical. Due to the thin atmosphere and severe desertification on the surface, there are basically no reliable observation methods that can accurately predict its climate change.

One can only infer from experience that summer is a frequent period of sandstorms. Global sandstorms occur once every five to six years, and the duration may reach several months or even a whole year, and it is accompanied by the lightning and friction generated by the collision of gravel.

If you want to make accurate predictions of Mars' climate change, you must at least throw a few weather satellites into Mars's low-Earth orbit.

Lu Zhou: "If a global sandstorm is encountered, what impact will it have on colonists on Mars?"

Hou Guang: "Generally speaking, the sandstorm mainly affects the normal operation of solar power generation equipment, but the new Virginia colony should be equipped with backup power supply equipment. The problem should be small ... Of course, no matter what the situation is, it ’s only bad. NASA knows what's going on. "

The life-sustaining unit basically embodies the most advanced technology of many space companies such as Space-X and Blue Origin. Although the Ares plan has been launched hastily, if Musk has prepared for colonizing Mars for ten years, His technicians could not fail to take into account the situation of sandstorms.

It is not even ruled out that they have previewed on Earth to deal with similar situations.

Of course, these are just Lu Zhou's own speculation.

As Hou Guang said, what it is like is only clear to those on Mars.

Lu Zhou nodded, agreed with his words, and meditated for a while before continuing.

"Let the Qianzhou Radio Observatory continue to pay attention to Mars ... other, it depends on what NASA says."

At present his focus is on the moon, and he can only say that he is paying attention to the situation on Mars. It would be a good thing for him to see through this sand storm where Americans have come to mars colonial technology.

After reporting the incident, Hou Guang left the office and took the office door.

Looking at the closed door, Lu Zhou thought of a meeting with the ESA Director in the afternoon, and was preparing to stand up and prepare for it.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something like stopping, thinking for a few seconds and then speaking to the closed computer.

"Xiao Ai, adjust the order of file decryption, first crack the latest numbered communication file!"

The signal light flashed in response to him.

Lu Zhou nodded, and got up and walked outside the office.

...

With the end of the controlled fusion negotiations, the relationship between China and the rest of the world is at the honeymoon stage, and cooperation in the economic and scientific fields has reached a fairly close level.

China's entry into the International Space Station program, and the EU and China's cooperation agreement on the Moon Station space station cooperation agreement are the best examples of this.

In the command tower of Jinling Space Launch Center, Lu Zhou met Mr. Owens, the director of ESA.

After the meeting in Beijing, he made a special trip to arrange Jinling as part of his trip to China with the EU delegation. One of the main reasons was to see Lu Zhou—the leader of the Chinese aerospace industry. Chief designer of NASA's Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, the legendary scientist ...

"Hello, Professor Lu, nice to meet you!"

As soon as they met, Owens, who was tall and thin, shook Lu Zhou's hand enthusiastically and shook it hard. To Mr. Owens with a smile on his face, Lu Zhou also responded with a polite but warm smile, and said.

"It's also nice to meet you, Mr. Owens! Come and sit down."

Owens was followed by officials from the Office of the Secretary-General of the European Space Agency and journalists from major media organizations in Europe and China.

The meeting is open. The two sides will exchange views on specific cooperation programs, and at the same time, they will send a signal to the international community.

That is to say, good progress has been made in the negotiations between China and EU countries on the moon.

During the meeting, Owens, sitting on the opposite sofa, explained his point with a funny tone.

"If you divide the history of space exploration by humans in the past, I think it can be divided into three stages."

Lu Zhou smiled and asked, "Which three are they?"

Owens smiled and continued: "In the space 1.0 stage, humans mainly study astronomy and astrology, and religion and cultural factors account for a large proportion of it. In the space 2.0 stage, we entered space and set foot on the moon. , Also entered the 'Apollo' era. In the space 3.0 stage, space has become another dimension of human development, commercial launch missions are becoming increasingly frequent, and our civilization has also entered the era of the 'International Space Station'.

Lu Zhou asked with a smile: "It sounds like an interesting statement, so what do you think will be the era of space 4.0?"

Owens thought for a moment, then smiled.

"I think the age of space 4.0 is the age of the moon and the age of the moon."

"Oh?" Lu Zhou smiled and asked jokingly, "Why not the Ares era?"

Director Owens smiled and shook his head.

"Mars is too far away. It takes several months to go back and forth. Europe is currently unable to participate. Maybe the next era is the Ares era, but at present we are more optimistic about the moon near us."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou's heart couldn't help feeling.

What this said is true.

Even if they licked them ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and did not lose the face of the Americans, it was not that they were not optimistic about the Ares plan, but that they lacked strength and could not participate.

Is this guy really a German written on the profile?

Lu Zhou always felt a bit unlike some German friends he knew ...

Without stopping, Owens smiled slightly at the camera in the reporter's hands and continued.

"In this new era, our civilized humanity will establish a new earth and space order, and pay more attention to social exchanges and internationalization in the space field. In the future, more countries will participate in space projects and there will be more people of different skin colors. Moving on spacecraft in outer space, our common destiny connects us. "

"If you wish, we hope to work with you to develop lunar resources and build a 'lunar village'."

Lu Zhou smiled and held out his right hand.

"Our position is, of course, as always, and we are glad to reach a consensus with you."
