Chapter 1345

"Maybe it's an illusion..."

Looking at the task panel that emits light gold aura, the boat shakes its head vigorously, driving the strange feeling away from its mind and focusing on the task itself again.

It is required to complete the Mars manned landing plan within this year.

This is nothing.

Manned fire landing is one of China's space programs this year, and also a front-end project of Mars research station.

As for the reward, it depends on the number of people logging in and the remaining task time

Faced with this strange reward standard, the land boat could not help falling into silence.

If you throw 100 people on it at one time, you can't brush tens of millions of experience?

Of course, he just thought about it.

Not to mention the technical difficulties, risks and the associated human and Taoist problems, even if so many people can be sent at one time, the system may not allow him to brush more than 10 million experiences.

After all, the bonus may increase with the number of people, but it may not increase linearly.

"In a word, it's better to find a way to send people to Mars as soon as possible In that case, the task should be quite simple. "

Not long ago, the space launch center sent a spaceship to Mars for a cruise. Now, we just need to find a way to take the life support device with us and drop the volunteers and the landing module together.

Thinking so, the ship closed the holographic panel.

Although the feeling of uneasiness still lingers, it's not his style to worry about the unknown and unclear things, so he just frowned and tangled for a while, and put it down for the moment.

Out of the system space, the sky outside the window is completely dark.

I raised my watch and looked at the time. It was more than 10 o'clock in the evening. Lu Zhou was about to close his eyes and go to sleep. However, I found that the UAV controlled by AI was lying on the bedside table next to him, looking at him covetously.

Hesitated, the boat asked.

"Any questions?"

AI: [ Master, I just got a call. ([- V -)]

actually diverged from the topic.

But it's still business.

"I see."

After yawning, Lu Zhou reached for his cell phone, looked at the dozens of missed calls, and wondered who had made more than a dozen calls in such a boring evening and dialed them back.

The phone was soon put through.

Not surprisingly, director Li's voice appeared at the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Academician Lu, I haven't slept so late. "

“……”

heard this sentence, Lu Zhou could not help but make complaints about the heart.

So many phones have been bombed. I'm afraid I'll have to wake up even if I'm asleep.

But thinking that he hadn't slept anyway, he didn't care. He leaned his head back on the pillow and asked casually.

"Say something."

"Haha, it's not a big deal --"

"I'll hang up first and talk about it tomorrow."

"Wait a minute. Don't hang up. I just want to Consulting with you will not delay you a lot of time! "

"Then you say?"

"You've heard about the space elevator --"

"beep --"

the busy tone of the phone suddenly rings, cutting off the voice at the other end of the phone.

"Ah I accidentally pressed the hang up key. "

Looking at the phone that has been hung up, Lu Zhou muttered to himself in a low voice. He left his cell phone off and then turned over to sleep.

At this moment, director Li, who lives far away in Shangjing City, is listening to the busy voice from his mobile phone, and his face is muddled.

Why did you hang up all of a sudden?

Is the cell phone out of power

……

Just as the boat rolled over and went to sleep, the headquarters of the International Union of materials research societies, far across the Pacific Ocean, was a busy scene.

Sitting in his office, Mr. swift is talking with his secretary-general, Professor merifinch, about the selection of the annual Academy Awards, while dealing with the mountain of headaches.

However, at this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office. Then a young assistant came in with an unopened letter in his hand.

"President, here's a letter from the Max Planck Institute."

Put down the pen in his hand, chairman swift turned his tired eyes to him and asked weakly.

"What does it say?"

"The writer is Professor Gerhard etter, director of the Fritz Haber Institute," said the assistant, hesitating after a quick glance at the opening of the envelope I hope to nominate Lu Zhou as a candidate for the Academy Award of the year. "At the moment of hearing this, chairman swift immediately put his forefinger and thumb on his brow and heart with a headache, and muttered a curse.

"Another one."

But no wonder.

The relationship between the ship and the Max Planck Society has always been good, not only taking a Hoffman medal issued by the German chemical society, but also cooperating with those Germans in the star imitation project.

Professor merifinch, who was standing next to him, shrugged his shoulders, and the expression on his face seemed not surprising at all.

In fact, there's nothing to be surprised about.

Even if we don't consider the past friendship, the academic value of that paper really deserves the German chemical society to do so.

In this period of time, they have received at least ten nominations from the top bulls in materials science or the society organization, hoping that they can include the name of Lu Zhou in the selection list of this year's society alliance award.

In fact, it didn't matter.

But for president swift, it's a headache.

Although the International Association of materials research societies is nominally a joint organization of national societies of materials science, due to the fact that the center of the world's materials science community is in Boston, this organization is in fact similar to imcrc in nature, both of which belong to the international in name, but in fact, it is still a cooperative organization influenced more by a single country.

Under such circumstances, even if they really should seriously consider the research results of land and boat, they should also be wary of the diplomatic position of their own authorities.

What's more, they had already agreed to award the annual award of the association of societies to Professor kohlhardt of Stanford University for his outstanding contribution in the field of corrosion electrochemistry of complex systems.

If at this time let the boat kill in, the whole selection will become a matter of no suspense.

"You go out first."

"OK, ok..." Looking at chairman swift waving to himself, the assistant standing at the door hesitated a little, left the opened letter in his hand on the next cabinet, and then left the office.

The door of the meeting closed, and Secretary General merifinch, who had not been speaking, said thoughtfully.

"It seems that our European friends are beginning to feel dissatisfied with our little moves."

It's not a public secret to learn the felicity of the annual award of the league. No matter whether it's a default or no way, there is no good way for other societies to manipulate the selection of this award.

After all, such a limited range of favoritism is really difficult to define and find evidence.

In general, the candidates they are pushing are not weak, but at the same level, or not far from other candidates, they are more likely to choose scholars who are native to North America or who are willing to stay in North America.

In this way, Professor etle's nomination of the land boat in the name of the Max Planck Society is worth pondering.

After all, research institutions with regional characteristics such as the Max Planck Institute, even if they are not nominated by their own scholars, are generally nominated to work in Germany.

I can't blame him for thinking that Professor etter's nomination does feel a little pressure on them.

Obviously also thought of this point, swift president to stand beside him to cast a look for help, a face headache asked.

"What shall we do now?"

"If we refuse so many nomination letters, it will certainly cause dissatisfaction of other societies," Secretary General merifinch said after thinking for a while, "let's be generous and admit that his research is good."

"It's impossible!" The chairman of swift said without hesitation, "if it's anyone else, it's just the boat Not to mention Stanford University and Professor kohlhardt, Congress will not be satisfied with our choice. "

" not necessarily. "

President swift cast questioning eyes at Secretary General merifinch, who had said that, and waited for his explanation.

He did not have to wait for a long time, Secretary General merifinch said after a pause.

"Anyone with an eye can see that the United States has lost the space race and has chosen to compromise with China on a series of historical legacy issues because of controllable fusion technology. Even though NASA is still routinely asking Congress for money on the threat theory of air to air weapons on the other side of the Pacific, haven't you noticed? The opposition from the authorities is actually getting smaller and smaller. "

"So?"

"People are getting tired of this unproductive confrontation, and the white house knows that it's hard to win for itself in a short period of time. The repeated failures will gradually make voters lose confidence, "said Secretary General merifinch, looking at Swift's president." if the land boat can visit North America, it may be an opportunity for the restoration of relations between the two countries. "President swift frowned.

"I don't want to bring politics into academia."

"Does it make sense to say that now? Don't forget who is supporting our funding, "Secretary General merifinch shrugged." besides, it's not bringing political issues into the academic world. Do you think that his paper, the quasi Nobel prize level achievement, is not worthy of an academic union annual award? "

"As for Stanford and colhart, if you really care about how they feel I don't think it's a shame to lose to Professor Lu. "

It seems to have been convinced that this time President Swift was silent for a long time.

After about five minutes, he finally spoke.

"You go to the White House and ask their opinion."

"If they intend to use this opportunity to repair relations with China..."

"I'm sure professor colhart will understand our situation."
