Chapter 1348 Take Command in Person! (4/4)

Chapter 1348 Take command in person! (44)

boston.

Headquarters of the International Federation of Materials Research Societies.

Chairman Swift sat in his office, and Secretary Merifinch looked at the email on the computer screen in bewilderment, without reacting for a while.

About a day ago, the White House readily accepted their proposal, and the Congress also expressed their intention to use this award ceremony as an opportunity to repair the relationship between the two countries.

Whether it is the supply of the Deep Space Gate space station or the fusion reactor in California, it is inseparable from the transport ships and engineers of Huaguo. Even if they want to continue this kind of confrontation, they just feel sorry for themselves, even a bit like a child making trouble for no reason. Feel.

All signs indicate that it is time for the confrontation between them and Hua Guo to end.

After all, if the confrontation continues like this, the people of California will start clamoring for statehood again.

Sports can be an opportunity to restore the normalization of diplomatic relations, as can academic activities.

The White House has already arranged Lu Zhou's pick-up ceremony, prepared for a presidential-level meeting, and even scheduled an afternoon tea at the White House, but Chairman Swift and Secretary-General Merifinch did not agree. Unexpectedly, when they arranged everything properly, they almost went through the motions to present an award to Lu Zhou, but Lu Zhou actually gave up his nomination qualification and did not come? !

Yes, it didn't come!

What the hell? !

"...Isn't he a young man himself?" Seeing the wording of the last two lines in the email, Secretary Merifinch, who has always been calm, finally couldn't help but complain.

He had never seen such a pretentious person!

Chairman Swift, who was standing next to him, obviously had the same thought at the moment, with a constipated expression on his face, he spoke with difficulty after a while.

"Does he have any opinion on us?"

"Probably not? We didn't offend him...probably?"

"Shet... what should I do now? Everything was prepared, but the chain fell off at the most critical place. Why don't you inform the White House first..."

"Ask the White House," Secretary Merifinch said solemnly, "If there is any misunderstanding, then we may be in big trouble."

In fact, it's not just Chairman Swift and Secretary-General Merifinch who are worried, the White House is also troubled by Lu Zhou's choice.

Gradually began to realize that the "misunderstanding" between the two countries might be bigger than imagined, and the White House quickly tested Hua's attitude through diplomatic channels.

And then……

It was the third day after Lu Zhou wrote a letter to give up his nomination for the annual award of the Academy Alliance.

Director Li personally came to Jinling and came to Lu Zhou's home.

"You rejected the annual award of the Academy Alliance?"

"Yes," Lu Zhou said casually, looking at Director Li who was sitting across from the coffee table inexplicably, "For me, more honors don't mean much anymore, I think the opportunity should be reserved for young people who need it more Man, is there a problem?"

Leave it to the young people...

Hearing this sentence, Director Li couldn't help showing a dumbfounding expression on his face.

Looking at the international academic world, not to mention the same rank, but among those scholars who are eligible to be nominated, who is younger than you?

But seeing Lu Zhou's serious expression, he couldn't complain.

So after a while of silence, he sighed and said.

"...It's nothing, if you don't go, don't go, anyway...it doesn't really matter, at worst, it's the same when you wait for the next opportunity."

Lu Zhou: "...?"

Opportunity?

What opportunity?

I always feel like I'm missing something very important.

Looking at the expressionless Lu Zhou, Director Li hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and said.

"What the high-level executives mean is that the confrontation with North America is almost enough. It is good to be merciful and forgiving. It is not good to push people too hard. Development is the last word. We have no core interests in the Americas. As long as they agree to give up interfering in East Asian affairs, it would be a good choice for each to take a step back... What do you think?"

Not quite understanding why Director Li suddenly talked about the overall situation with him at this time, Lu Zhou frowned and said.

"I am a pacifist myself, and you should be clear about my attitude."

Director Li sighed: "That's good, actually, I'm also worried about your resentment... In fact, the last cruise incident had nothing to do with the Americans. Although it was a surprise, the clues were not Point to the FBI."

Lu Zhou: "...?"

What the hell is a grudge?

And why was it suddenly brought up on the Northern Lights cruise ship?

In fact, to be honest, since no one died in the end, if Director Li didn't talk about it, he would have almost forgotten it.

Besides, he has never been very interested in such things as politics. He is just a scholar who strives to explore the mysteries of the universe and fight for the future of a community with a shared future for mankind on the premise of being loyal to the country and nation.

If you must find another motive for these behaviors.

Probably out of interest.

"The purpose of your coming to me this time makes me a little confused." After taking a sip of tea, Lu Zhou looked at Director Li with some confusion, "Don't tell me that you came to Jinling to discuss ideas with me. work."

"Then why is that, you are usually so busy doing scientific research, I have nothing to do and I have the nerve to bother you," Director Li smiled shyly, "I'm just asking about the annual award for the people at the diplomatic office, I'm here this time The main purpose here is to carry people to the fire!"

Manned on fire?

Hearing these words, Lu Zhou's eyes brightened up.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he looked at Director Li and smiled.

"Put people on the fire? That's a coincidence, I happened to be planning to talk to you about this too."

Director Li smiled and said, "Then please tell me first!"

"The Mars program occupies a very important part of our space strategy, and the manned landing on fire is the beginning of everything. This project is of great importance and cannot be sloppy," Lu Zhou looked at it seriously. Director Li said in a solemn tone, "I want to apply to the organization for this launch plan!"

"Let me take the lead! Expedition to Mars!"

The moment he heard this sentence, Director Li immediately showed an overjoyed expression on his face, and said with a pat on the thigh.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence!"

"I came to Jinling to look for you this time, because I intend to tell you about this matter!"

"The organization has decided, if there is no problem on your side, you will be the chief designer of this Mars colonization project!"

"Haha, since you agree, what else is there to say? Let's go to Shangjing first! Then, go to the Northwest!"

Huaguo's artificial biosphere and Mars colonization experiment base are both located in the Gurbantunggut Desert, and related plans have been in preparation for a few years ago.

Looking at Director Li who was overjoyed, Lu Zhou stood up from the sofa and said with a smile.

"That's fine, it's better to hurry up, I'll go and pack my luggage first, you wait for me for half an hour."

Director Li: "It's okay, don't worry about it for a few minutes, you can bring some more clothes, you may not know when you will come back this time... By the way, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhou stopped and looked at him and asked.

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Chief Li gave a dry cough.

"It's the phone call from last time. Didn't I ask you if that space elevator is possible? I just want to ask you to the end—ehhh? Don't run away!"

Staring dumbfounded at the empty living room, Director Li was dumbfounded again...
