Chapter 788 SOS?

Building a community with a shared future for mankind is the sublimation of the concept of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.

Huaguo has no ambition to achieve world hegemony. In contrast, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is more in line with Huaguo's interests.

Of course, there is no need for Lu Zhou to worry about these things.

As a scholar, he only needs to focus on his own research.

But despite what he said, from the standpoint of a scholar, he is of course very happy to see that his motherland is integrating into the big family of the international community, and is using his unique voice to influence this big family ...

The meeting lasted a total of one hour. The two talked for a long time and talked about many things.

Owens was extremely surprised by the prospect of the future moon village described by Lu Zhou, and Lu Zhou was also deeply interested in some ideas about space resource development and business operation models proposed by Owens.

Technology can provide human beings with tools to transform and utilize nature, but how to better use this tool is also quite a subject of knowledge.

"...The Living-Planet Seminar was held in Prague, Czech Republic. If you have time, we sincerely invite you to visit it."

"If I have time, I will definitely consider it."

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded, but did not give a clear answer.

Owens didn't urge him either. He ended the topic with a slight smile and shook hands with Lu Zhou to say goodbye.

...

On the second day after the meeting between Lu Zhou and Owens ended, the news that Huaguo and the European Union had reached a consensus on the issue of lunar resource development was swiped on the Internet.

Among them, led by "Renren Daily", released a concept map of Moon Village on the headlines.

At the same time, the "Xinhua News" also announced in its latest issue the specific topics discussed by representatives of the Chinese side and the European Union on the development and exploration of lunar resources.

One of the most eye-catching and unbelievable ones is that the European Union recognized the bill signed by Huaguo early last year on protecting the interests of domestic enterprises in the development of lunar resources.

But this bill caused quite a controversy at the time, and was once criticized by the Western media as the East India Company Act of the new era.

If it weren't for the fact that the western countries asked China for controllable nuclear fusion, they would all keep silent. Otherwise, these controversial voices might be enough to cause China a headache...

Now the European Union has actually recognized this bill, and stated that countries should compete fairly and cooperate with each other in the development of lunar resources. This statement undoubtedly made many people's eyes fall out.

Americans, in particular, feel unbelievable about the "betrayal" of Europe, especially the phrase "the era of space 4.0 is the era of the moon palace", which has aroused a considerable degree of discussion.

Although Director Owens has already spoken very euphemistically, it is clear that not everyone agrees with his explanation.

At the moment when the Ares Project is advancing towards the finish line of victory, would anyone doubt the status of the Ares Project?

Are all European guys blind?

However, although the grass in Europe seems to be vacillating to the side of China, the United States has no time to take care of this matter at the moment.

Just as the Huaguo Space Agency and the European Space Agency were eyeing each other, New Virginia was in huge trouble because of the dust storm sweeping across Mars.

Even the "Martian Diary" festival, which Lu Zhou was chasing, was canceled because of this.

However, Space-X did not attribute the suspension of the "Martian Diary" to the impact of sandstorms. Instead, the reason was that communication costs were too expensive and limited resources needed to be applied to scientific research.

After Space announced the news on its official website, it immediately caused a lot of disappointed voices.

The show stopped abruptly just after entering the exciting part, which is really unfriendly to those who are following the show.

However, most people also expressed understanding.

After all, scientific research tasks are more important than public entertainment.

Standing in front of the camera of the media, Musk apologized to the audience who were looking forward to the "Martian Diary" program with a regretful voice.

"Unfortunately, this dust storm may last for a long time, and we cannot present the interesting life of the colonists on Mars in front of you in real time. But I assure you, their current condition is fine. The density of the atmosphere is only 1% of that of the earth, even if this dust storm blows a little more violently, it will not be able to do anything to them!"

"In addition, I will announce a more exciting thing at this moment."

"The new BFR rocket is about to depart, and this time we will send an experimental unit weighing 16 tons to Mars!"

"If you have any thoughts to send to our colonists, please write them in the letter! We will take 100 letters and send them to Mars with our experimental equipment. Our New Virginia residents will Read the letters aloud on Columbia Television!"

The media reporters surrounding the area suddenly burst into an uproar with excitement, and rushed forward one after another, handing out the microphones in their hands.

Letter to Mars!

This sounds so exciting!

This guy is simply a genius, he can create more topics than journalists like them!

However, Johnson, who is tens of millions of kilometers away, and the distance is getting farther and farther away, never dreamed that the plight they encountered on Mars would be concealed...

As reserves of resources such as oxygen and methane continue to decline, the situation of the colony is becoming more and more dangerous.

Of course, the U.S. authorities did not do nothing. NASA has held several seminars to discuss the rescue operation of New Virginia.

Currently, Director Carson has two plans. One is to launch a new BFR rocket to Mars and deliver supplies that can help the colonists tide over the difficulties. The other is to find a way to get the colonists back to sailing On the BFS spacecraft in orbit around Mars, there is sufficient energy, and the environmental control and life support system can also run for a long period of time.

However, judging from the current situation, no matter which option it is, it seems unrealistic.

The relative distance between Mars and the Earth is getting farther, and the best launch window to go to Mars is closing. Even if they still have the BFR rocket that can be used, they are willing to pay more fuel costs for it. It will be half a year before they reach Mars. up.

Judging from the situation in New Virginia, it can only last for two months at most.

Praying that this sandstorm will stop may be a more realistic choice...

At the same time, at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study on the other side of the earth, a string of bubbles suddenly popped out from the lower right corner of the computer in front of Lu Zhou.

Xiao Ai: [Master, file number 0021 has been decrypted successfully! ()】

Lu Zhou, who was writing his thesis, stopped the scroll wheel on his index finger, looked at the pop-up window in the lower right corner, and said.

"Send me the desktop."

Xiao Ai: 【Yes, Master~()】

In less than half a second, a folder shortcut appeared on the desktop.

Lu Zhou double-clicked to open the folder, selected the first file inside and glanced at it. Before he had time to look at the contents, three eye-catching characters came into his eyes.

The eyebrows were slightly raised, and Lu Zhou couldn't help but read it out.

"SOS...?"

International distress signal?

Things seem to be getting more and more interesting...
