Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

NASA Ground Command Center.

The roar of the president echoed in the conference room next door.

“Fuck! It’s a bunch of waste!”

“Since there is a sandstorm there, why should you choose this bad time to send to our colonists?!”

Looking at the president who is on the spur of the moment, the people standing in the conference room are screaming, the atmosphere is not afraid to breathe, and I am afraid that I will be angered.

Especially, Director Carson, this time his face was full of sly expressions.

It would be completely unexpected to see such a situation.

After all, he is not God, how can he know when there is a sandstorm on Mars…

“President mister… We don’t have a weather station on Mars. Although I understand your mood, we can’t know the climate change on Mars in advance. And…”

Paused, Carson’s tone said in a difficult tone.

“Generally speaking, the frequent occurrence of sandstorms is summer, especially the global sandstorms, which rarely occur outside the summer… It will happen that things are completely uncontrollable now, although we have considered coping strategies… ”

The president stared at him and asked aggressively.

“What is the response strategy?”

“But there have been some minor accidents,” Director Carson said with a sigh. “It was originally planned to establish a methane and groundwater resource collection point in our plan to deal with this problem through resources on Mars. You As you know, as long as the external input resources are sufficient, it is not a problem to spend the daylighting reduction period, but…”

“but?”

After swallowing, Carson’s head continued quickly. “But our colonists have just landed on Mars and have not prepared to collect methane and water resources on Mars. The methane reserves carried from Earth…we cannot Support for a long time.”

To put it bluntly, they did not consider that they would encounter such a harsh climate in the second week after they just landed.

Although Mars’ global dust storm is difficult to predict by astronomical observations, it can be estimated. According to the statistics, the average occurs every 3 Mars years, and it is 5.5 years converted to Earth year.

The last time a global dust storm was 2018 years, now only 3 Earth years have passed. It is reasonable to say that they have a window period of Hörmann transfer orbit. Even if an accident occurs, you can use this window to send enough. The survival materials help the colonists to tide over the difficulties.

however……

No one thought that this time Mars did not play cards according to common sense. It was only after three years that it was a sandstorm and swept the entire planet. Looking from the ground astronomical observatory, the whole planet has turned into a dizzy red egg, and a trace of sunlight can not penetrate the surface…

Solar power plants are not working, and this is not the worst.

The worst part is that their planting area has just been inflated and the plant needs to grow in sunlight.

There are only two choices in front of the colonists, either to dispose of the newly sprouted crops or to provide them with sunlight from a small reserve of electricity.

No matter which choice, it is difficult.

“Why don’t you think about this before!” Looking at the director of Carson, who explained to him, the president was angry. “I clearly said when I spoke at the White House, if we can’t guarantee the life of our colonists 100%. Safety, we would rather not send people up!”

Carson: “mister…”

The president stared at him and said, “Do you have any questions? Carson mister.”

“Yes, you did say that,” said Carson, who spoke, and bracelet oneself said: “But you said the same in a closed meeting… at all costs, build our space race as soon as possible. Advantage.”

The expression on the president’s face suddenly became a bit stiff, and he touched his nose slyly, lightly coughed.

“Have I said that?”

Standing next to the vice president silently nodded.

“I remember you said… the minutes of the meeting can testify.”

Anyway, the vice president of the White House is a mascot. He doesn’t really need to give the president a face. What’s more, he is the head of the reorganized National Space Committee. Of course he does not want this pot to finally fall on his head.

Some of the faces could not be hanged, and the president said with a slap in the face.

“These are not the key points, no matter what I said, I ask you to reconsider the response immediately! Especially you, Director Carson!”

Suddenly shouted to the name, Carson subconsciously stood up straight.

“Yes!”

In an unquestionable tone, the president is ordered.

“Within 24 hours, I need you to come up with a solution and execute it within 72 hours. I don’t care what method you use, we must guarantee the safety of our astronauts, at least let them live!”

“If you can’t do it, you will know the consequences yourself.”

The forehead was sweating, Carson brace oneself replied.

“Yes……”

……

[New Virginia! The light of mankind! 】

“These people are really optimistic.”

Looking at the news pop-up window on the computer screen, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

During the lunch break, in the Dean’s Office of the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies, Lu Zhou sipped coffee as usual, brushing the usual thesis.

It happened that at this time, I saw this news from the pop-up window.

“It seems that Space-X is really bloody, and soft texts have hit internationally renowned academic forums.”

However, the current public opinion trend seems to be true.

Since BFSspaceship successfully dropped the landing cabin, New Virginia seems to have become a place of dreams, especially with the broadcast of the “Mars Diary” program, the entire Ares program has been blown into the sky…

Now North American media seems to have gradually stopped mentioning the word “aerospace race”, but instead focused on several colonial families, friends, and 30 minutes that will be released every once in a while. On the video.

Lu Zhou is also a loyal “fan” of the Mars Diary, and every show will not be missed.

After all, if you want to beat your opponent, you must first understand them.

Although he used to be in North America, he felt that Musk sometimes blew too much, but there is no doubt that others have true ability.

At least, for now, the BFR rocket has stood at the top of the chemistry promotion and there is room for further improvement.

And the life support unit…

Therefore, in addition to the “Celebrity Diary” broadcasted by “Following the Fan”, Lu Zhou will also use the Lunar Track Construction Committee to request the Zhangzhou Radio Astronomy Observatory FAST project team to monitor the electromagnetic wave signals uploaded by Mars in real time, and the monitored data will be monitored. Send him a copy and hand it over to Xiao AI for cracking.

Although cracking is not easy, and not all information can be solved smoothly, it is also a way to get news of the “New Virginia” colony.

If you are optimistic, you may get some fairly critical information.

For example, the exploration of resources in some areas of Mars…

Just when Lu Zhou turned off the webpage and was about to finish the lunch break, a pop-up window popped up in the lower right corner.

[Master, the number 0001 file signal has been decrypted! To see 咩ψ(`?’)ψ now]

Looking at the Xiao AI, who is naughtyly waving the little devil’s fork, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

“Well, the package is sent to my desktop… Yes, what about the cracking of other files?”

[Not yet completed, they use different encryption methods for each communication, it takes a certain amount of time to crack the work… (; ‘д`) g]

“Nothing, just come slowly, I am not very anxious here.”

【Ok! Xiao AI will cheer! (R?Q)g]

Although Xiao AI is smart enough, it is not a panacea.

Communication with professional technology encryption, even with a supercomputer as an aid, it is difficult to say that it will be cracked immediately.

The numbered 0001 file is the first communication signal between the heart of the gold and the NASA ground command center after reaching Mars. It has been two weeks since it was monitored by the FAST project team.

Lu Zhou simply swept through the cracked content in the file. As expected, it was a message such as “Peaceful” or “Application for a mission”, and did not see much nutritious content. .

Just when Lu Zhou was about to archive the file into the USB flash drive, a door knock suddenly sounded outside the door.

Turning off the folder on the desktop, Lu Zhou cleared the start talking.

“Please come in.”

The door was pushed open, and it was the waiting light.

I saw a serious expression on his face, and even the cold did not say a word, he said.

“There was a new news from the Luzhou Radio Astronomical Observatory. When they made direct observations on Mars, they found something unusual.”

Lu Zhou leaned on the office chair and frowned and asked, “…something?”

“It’s a global sandstorm!”
