Chapter 1621

The afternoon meeting began.

As expected, experts on earth do not seem to have much say here.

Led by academician Yang Chongping, several heavyweight experts from Tiangong Aerospace Science and technology research institute took the lead in expressing their views, and then other aerospace institutions and engineers from the enterprise also expressed their views.

In general, most of the experts sitting at the conference table have no objection to the demonstration of technical feasibility. First, considering the current situation, the Pan Asian space enterprises have the ability to develop resources on Europa. Second, considering the funds in the second half of the year, it is no good for them to sing a different tune in this matter.

As for the land boat, it is similar to their point of view.

From a practical point of view, the development of water resources on Europa is indeed cheaper and more environmentally friendly than the transportation of fresh water resources from the earth to Mars.

As a matter of fact, as early as a century ago, land boats considered including this planet full of water resources as part of their space strategy.

Only because of the technical conditions at that time, and because he didn't expect to be able to solve the problem of superluminal speed so quickly, he expanded the activity radius of human civilization directly from the small planetary belt to the world outside the asteroid belt, so he put this matter aside.

But now it is clear that they have the conditions to move further into the world.

However

When the meeting went to the next stage, the situation changed 180 degrees. The atmosphere on the conference table suddenly changed from peaceful to tense.

Seeing the red face and the red face of their argument, Lu Zhou had intended to talk about his own views, but on second thought it would only add fuel to the fire, so he gave up for the time being.

At this time, an old engineer, about sixty years old, with white beard, stood up with his hands on the table, raised his voice and said loudly.

"We can choose four points in the central area of the asteroid belt to build a fresh water reserve station, transport the sea water resources extracted from Europa to the reserve station for rough processing, and then transport water resources from different fresh water reserve stations to the colonies according to the movement position of Mars."

A man holding both arms sneered and retorted with sarcasm.

"Build a reserve station on the asteroid belt? And four? Ha ha, I'm afraid you don't forget the active air thieves on the asteroid belt. "

"We have the most powerful fleet in the solar system, which can provide us with security protection! I don't think it's a problem at all! "

"That's the Pan Asian cooperation fleet, not Tiangong City," interrupted the man, and academician Yang Chongping said without expression, "unless the Pan Asian cooperation allows us to have our own defense force, your proposal will not be established at all."

Hearing the big man's words, the red faced man who had argued earlier suddenly weakened. After a moment's hesitation, he finally returned to his seat after being pulled down by his companion.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, the mayor's secretary, who was sitting at the conference table, coughed gently and began to play the role of peacemaker, smiled kindly and said.

"Don't get excited There are some difficulties in this idea. We have been striving for the right of self-defense for a long time, but it has not been fruitful. "

The man who had previously raised objections with both arms smiled, put down his arms and said in a happy voice.

"So it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Our far space shipping group has enough capacity to maintain this route across the asteroid belt. We can transport the water resources extracted from Europa to Mars for processing. In this way, we can not only be efficient, but also avoid some unnecessary risks -- "

" Mr. Yu Zhenghui, "the mayor's secretary looked at him, and at the same time he interrupted his speech, his voice also took a hint of displeasure:" please pay attention to your words, here is the development plan, please don't bring private goods. "

The man named Yu Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders, dropped a insincere apology, and then stopped talking.

But the expression on his face, which was in the hands of the winner, made the expression on the faces of many experts present not very good.

Watching the debate, the boat looked at the tool man who was also fishing beside his eyes and said a sentence in a low voice.

"I always thought the academic community on Mars would be more united?"

"That's your illusion," Wu Qinglai said with a helpless expression. "Once something involves interests, it has nothing to do with right or wrong."

Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully and gave an ambiguous view.

"That makes sense."

What is the view of academician Yang Chongping?

So thinking, Lu Zhou subconsciously looked in the direction of academician Yang, but unexpectedly found that the middle-aged man was also looking at his side.Maybe it's just a coincidence. At the moment when the two people's eyes contacted, academician Yang moved his eyes away from him, as if he had just inadvertently caught a glimpse of him.

The boat frowned slightly.

I don't know why, he always has a feeling that this seminar may not be as simple as he imagined

In this way, the first day's meeting ended in an atmosphere of displeasure due to the disputes of several big men, and the unsolved disputes were naturally left to tomorrow.

Perhaps because of the mood at the meeting table, Lu Zhou noticed that many faces did not appear.

During the dinner, mayor Xiao of Tiangong city also made a special visit. After greeting the experts invited by him, he took the boat and talked for a long time. He talked about his optimistic outlook for the future of Mars and what he planned to do after taking office.

It was not until Lu Zhou looked at his watch for the 10th time that the talkative stopped his talk, saying that he had work to deal with for a while, and left the hotel in a hurry after leaving.

Finally, after dinner, Lu Zhou went back to his room, turned over the notes he had made in the meeting, and made a simple comb of some interesting ideas.

Although he has his own ideas on Europa's development plan, this does not prevent him from learning from others' plans to improve his own.

Naturally, this includes academician Yang Chongping.

Even though he can feel that this guy seems to have some inexplicable hostility or fear to himself, he has to admit that he has some abilities to do academician's position.

At this time, the door bell rang outside the room, looked at the picture on the holographic screen, and the boat casually pressed the button to open the door.

As the door opened, seeing Wang Peng coming back from the outside, Lu Zhou asked casually.

"You got a clue?"

A fart. Gu sat on the sofa, Wang Peng sighed and said.

"It's not that easy. I just went to see my colleagues today. Those people of the foundation are very cautious. If it wasn't for the case of East Asia power that they were exposed, we can't be sure that they are still in the dark. "

Lu Zhou: "it seems that I have helped you a lot?"

Wang Peng smiled and said, "you have done us more than that In a word, I heard some interesting rumors when I was wandering around. "

Lu Zhou: "what's the rumor?"

Wang Peng: "recently, several extraterrestrial Galaxy colonization funds are publicly raising funds to build colonial ships to other galaxies. Has East Asia heavy industry started to industrialize the warp engine? I don't have any news. "

Colonial ship?

Hearing the word, Lu Zhou was slightly shocked.

What surprised him was not that someone had made an idea to the outside world of the solar system, but that this time people actually took the initiative to go ahead of him.

"I don't think so. The relevant technology is still in the experimental stage, but we do have plans to commercialize this technology."

"Well, that's not good," Wang Peng continued after taking a rest after picking up the mineral water bottle on the table and unscrewing it for a drink. "At first, I thought it was a new type of financial fraud, and I was going to report it to my colleagues in other departments, but later I found that this was not so simple. Guess what, this project has Mars academy endorsement! "

"Oh?" Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly and threw an unexpected look at him. "Are you sure the source of the news is true?"

"I haven't made any research yet, but I can't be wrong," Wang Peng continued after thinking for a moment. "I remember the expert who endorsed the alien colony plan, as if it was called Yang Chongping
