Chapter 1620 This Posture of Painting Cakes Always Feels Familiar

"Mars Port, the place where the Star River Dream began... This slogan is quite interesting."

Looking at the holographic screen hanging on the ceiling of the waiting room and the promotional slogans that rolled and flashed, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows with an expression of interest, and couldn't help but glance at the advertisement.

Seemingly noticing the expression on his face, Wang Peng, who was sitting next to him, followed Lu Zhou's gaze and said in a chatty tone.

"It is said that since the new mayor took office, this is the style of painting here."

Withdrawing his gaze from the holographic advertisement, Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng and asked curiously.

"When did he take office?"

"Earlier this year."

"No wonder..." Noticing that Wang Peng was looking at him, Lu Zhou shrugged his shoulders and explained, "At the beginning of last year, I happened to pass by here."

This time he came to Mars for two main purposes.

One is to go back and visit General Reinhardt, who has been loyal to him, and the scientific research ship belonging to a higher civilization, and ask some technical questions about the "star gate" by the way.

There is only one other reason, which is the invitation of Mr. Xiao Hong, the mayor of Mars City.

At that time, he mentioned in that letter that the emergence of the superluminal engine will make Mars an outpost for human civilization to go to the new world.

For the future of the Mars colony, he hopes that Lu Zhou, as one of the founders of space colonization and exploration, can attend the upcoming seminar in Tiangong City to discuss the technical feasibility of colonizing Europa.

As we all know, fresh water has always been one of the most expensive resources in space activities.

As Jupiter's fourth largest moon, Europa is an ocean world completely covered by glaciers. How important such a planet is to Mars is naturally self-evident.

As for Wang Peng, the reason for coming to Mars is also very simple.

One is to protect Lu Zhou, and the other is to collect clues about the Universal Spirit Foundation.

Although it's just a vague clue, they have reason to believe that people from the foundation may have infiltrated here.

Even after the general stronghold on the earth is uprooted, their core layer is likely to be transferred to this area.

"You should be more careful when you attend academic activities. Although there is no direct information to show that people from the foundation still regard you as an attack target, it cannot be ruled out that they are planning something that is not good for you."

"Don't worry about this, my bionic bodyguard will guarantee my safety."

When he said this, Lu Zhou grinned and looked at Ling who was sitting next to him.

Wang Peng glanced at the bionic man sitting there like a wooden man, and couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.

Although he felt that this guy was unreliable, but in the end he chose to believe what Lu Zhou said, nodded and said nothing.

It wasn't long before boarding time came.

Taking the shuttle, the two of them, a bionic human, arrived at the terminal at the landing site outside Tiangong City.

After passing through the checkpoint, Lu Zhou quickly met Mayor Xiao who personally sent an email inviting him to come to Mars.

It was a man with a slightly fatter appearance. The formal clothes that were very popular in the upper class of Mars hung on his body like an inflated balloon.

"Academician Lu, I'm glad to meet you! I heard that when you woke up from the ruins of the Gate of Hell, you passed by our Tiangong City. It's a pity that I couldn't meet you at that time!"

Hearing Mayor Xiao's words, Lu Zhou just smiled, reached out and shook his hand.

There was one thing he didn't say.

In the circumstances at that time, he couldn't prove his identity, even if he really went to find the mayor Xiao, he would probably be kicked out of the city hall as a madman.

But now, these things are obviously no one will take the initiative to admit...

"I heard that the first phase of the space elevator project you led has been completed?"

Released Mayor Xiao's right hand, Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"Yes...has word reached Mars?"

Hearing this sentence, Mayor Xiao laughed heartily, and said in a joking tone.

"Otherwise? Our Mars is not a place where news is blocked, let alone this top priority, let alone Mars, even the space station on the distant asteroid belt, there are rumors about you and that space elevator and The story of the hyperdrive."

Gladly accepted the compliment, Lu Zhou also smiled and said, "It's my honor to make you all look forward to it."

"It should be our honor to be able to witness the birth of superluminal technology in our lifetime!" With that bright smile on his face, Xiao Hong continued, "Speaking of which, I have always wanted to ask for your opinion. Is it feasible to build a similar space elevator on Mars?"

"There is no problem in terms of feasibility. Theoretically speaking, the gravity environment on Mars is lower, and the construction difficulty will be relatively lower," Lu Zhou said, looking at the Mayor Xiao in a strange way, and asked casually He said, "Why do you ask this suddenly? Is Tiangong City also planning to build a space elevator?"

"Haha, I can't hide anything from you! We really have this plan," Mayor Xiao continued with a smile, "According to my judgment, the next ten or even twenty years will be a golden age for the vigorous development of the entire aerospace industry! As The mayor of Tiangong City, not only a space elevator, we also plan to build a Mars port that integrates commerce, industry and people's livelihood in the orbit of Mars, and turn it into a lighthouse of the solar system! The starships of the world outside the solar system provide a haven of rest and supplies."

"Of course, we have to eat one bite at a time. The Mars port is just a long-term plan. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, we still have a lot of short-term work to do, such as finding ways to drain the abundant water resources on Europa." Got it."

"Tomorrow's meeting is up to you!"

Looking at the bright smile on Mayor Xiao's face, Lu Zhou didn't know for a moment whether he was joking with him or serious.

But what do you say?

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that this guy's posture of drawing big cakes seems a bit familiar?

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhou nodded politely.

"I will do my best."

Under the reception of the Tiangong City authorities, Lu Zhou and Ling came to the hotel where they were staying.

Wang Peng still had other work to do, and after sending the two of them to the hotel, he left alone for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Zhou lay down on the bed and turned on his personal terminal after taking a brief shower.

Seeing the little red dot marked on the mailbox, Lu Zhou stretched out his finger and clicked on it, thinking who would send an email when he just arrived at Mars Point.

Soon, as the mailbox was opened, a handwritten letter with beautiful handwriting was projected in front of him.

【Remember to take care of your health on Mars. I heard that you have done dangerous things on Mars before. Don’t do anything wrong this time. 】

【—Vera Puyui, who loves you the most】

Seeing the line where the signature was written, even though Lu Zhou felt that his skin was still a bit thick, he couldn't help but feel a little hot in his cheeks.

Is this a cultural difference?

I feel that when I was writing English composition when I was a child, similar sentences didn't seem to make people feel so embarrassed.

"...It's really a headache."

Sighing softly, Lu Zhou lay down and prepared to go to sleep, but he didn't fall asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

After closing his eyes and being silent for a while, he sat up again from the bed, tapped the holographic keyboard a few times with his index finger, edited a reply letter and hit the send button.

[I will take care of myself, don't worry about me. 】

【——Lu Zhou】
