"Port of Mars, where the star river dream begins This slogan is quite interesting. "

Looking at the hologram screen hanging on the ceiling of the waiting room and the rolling slogan, Lu Zhou's eyebrows raised an expression of interest, and couldn't help but look at the advertisement twice more.

It seems that he noticed the expression on his face, and Wang pengshun, who was sitting next to him, looked in the sight of the land boat and said in a chatty tone.

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

From the holographic advertisement, Lu Zhou looks at Wang Peng and asks.

"When did he take office?"

"Early this year."

"No wonder..." Noticing that Wang Peng had always seen himself, 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 to visit general Reinhardt, who has been loyal to him, and the scientific research ship belonging to the higher civilization, and ask some technical questions about the "Stargate" by the way.

Only another reason is the invitation of Mr. Xiao Hong, mayor of Mars.

At that time, he mentioned in the letter that the appearance of the superluminal engine would make Mars the outpost of human civilization to the new world.

For the future of Mars colony, he hoped that as one of the founders in the field of space colonial exploration, land boat could attend the seminar to be held in Tiangong city to discuss the technical feasibility of colonizing Europa.

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

As the fourth largest moon of Jupiter, Europa is an ocean world completely covered by glaciers. Naturally, it is self-evident how important such a planet is to Mars.

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

One is to protect the land boat, the other is to collect clues about the spirit of the universe foundation.

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

Even after the total strongholds on earth have been removed, their core layer is likely to move to this area.

"You are still careful when you attend academic activities. Although there is no direct intelligence that the people of the foundation still regard you as the target of attack, but Don't rule out that they are plotting something against you. "

"You can rest assured that my bionic bodyguard will protect my safety."

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

Wang Peng looked at the bionic man sitting there like a wooden man, and the expression on his face could not help being strange.

Although he didn't think this guy looked very reliable, he finally chose to believe what Lu Zhou said, nodded and said nothing.

It didn't take long for the boarding time to arrive.

In the shuttle, two people and one bionic man arrived at the terminal at the landing point outside Tiangong city.

After crossing the checkpoint, Lu Zhou soon met mayor Xiao, who personally invited him to Mars by email.

It's a man who looks a little bit fat. His formal dress is very popular in the upper class of Mars. It's like a ballooned balloon hanging on him.

"Academician Lu, nice to meet you! It's said that when you wake up from the ruins of the hell gate, you once passed by our Tiangong city. It's a pity that I didn't see you at that time! "

Hearing mayor Xiao's words, Lu Zhou just smiled and held out his hand and shook it with him.

He didn't say a word.

At that time, he could not prove his identity. Even if he went to see mayor Xiao, he would be driven out of the city hall as a psychopath.

But up to now, no one will admit these things

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

Let go of mayor Xiao's right hand, and Lu Zhou nodded his head.

"Yes Has the news reached Mars yet? "

Hearing this, mayor Xiao laughed heartily and said in a funny tone.

"Otherwise? Our Mars is not a place where the news is blocked. Besides, this kind of top priority, let alone Mars, even the space station on the distant asteroid belt, is spreading stories about you and that space elevator and superluminal engine. "

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

"It should be our honor to witness the birth of superluminal technology in our lifetime!" With a bright smile on his face, Xiao Hong continued, "I've always wanted to ask your opinion. Do you think it's feasible to build a similar space elevator on Mars?"

"In terms of feasibility, there is no problem. In theory, the gravity environment on Mars is lower and the construction difficulty is relatively lower," said Lu Zhou, looking at mayor Xiao strangely and asking, "why do you suddenly ask? Is Tiangong going to build a space elevator? ""Ha ha, I can't hide anything from you! We do have this plan, "continued mayor Xiao with a smile," according to my judgment, the next 10 or even 20 years will be the golden age for the vigorous development of the entire aerospace industry! As the mayor of Tiangong City, not only the space elevator, but also a Mars port integrating commerce, industry and people's livelihood in the orbit of Mars, and turning it into a lighthouse of the solar system! For the return of the earth and asteroid belt - and even the extrasolar world's star ships, to provide a rest of the harbor and supply. "

"Of course, we have to eat one mouthful at a time. Mars harbor is only a long-term plan. In order to achieve this grand goal, we still have many short-term work to do, such as finding ways to get hold of Europa's rich water reserves."

"Tomorrow's meeting will be for you!"

Looking at the bright smile on mayor Xiao's face, Lu Zhou did not know for a while whether he was joking with himself or seriously.

Just how to say?

I don't know if it's an illusion. He always feels that this guy's posture of drawing pancakes seems familiar to him?

After a moment's hesitation, the boat nodded politely.

"I will do my best."

Under the reception of Tiangong authorities, Lu Zhou and Ling arrived at the hotel where they stayed.

Wang Peng had other work to do. After they were sent to the hotel, they left alone for a while.

It's not too early to see the sky. After a simple bath, Lu Zhou lies in bed and opens his personal terminal.

Seeing the little red dot marked on the mailbox, I thought about who would send me an email just after I arrived at Mars point, and the land boat stretched out its finger and clicked on it.

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

[remember to take care of yourself on Mars. I heard that you have done dangerous things on Mars before. Please don't do anything wrong this time. ]

[- your favorite Willa puyoi]

even though the face of the boat is still thick, it can't help but feel a little hot.

Is this a cultural difference?

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

“…… It's a big head. "

With a slight sigh, the boat lay down to go to sleep, but stayed awake for a long time.

After a moment's silence with his eyes closed, he sat up again from the bed. His index finger knocked several times on the holographic keyboard, edited a reply letter and knocked down the send button.

I'll take care of myself. Don't worry about me. ]
