Chapter 742: No Stones to Touch

All of a sudden, Director Li named him. He was turning over the minutes of the meeting. The ark had not yet reacted. He only realized that he was calling himself when he got to the keen eye.

emmmm...

By the way, didn't this thing speak voluntarily?

Although not ready to say anything, Director Li gave such a face, and the Ark was embarrassed to continue sitting there.

So he closed the minutes of the meeting in his hand, stood up and coughed softly.

“I agree with Mr Yuan. The moon is so big, we can do a lot more, and since Americans are more interested in Mars... we can do something on the moon that they haven't done. For example, planting flowers and plants, or studying how to mine them, makes more sense than just stepping on footprints. ”

By the way, whose opinion is this?

Forget it. Forget it.

Just as the ship returned to its seat, there was a lot of recognition behind it.

Yes, it's just the first step, there's a lot more to be done on the moon, there's a lot of "first time" to take, there's no need for the Americans to take their noses and go all the way to Mars, just to get a footprint on it, or pick up a few stones back.

The discussion has taken place here, and there is no longer a need to continue.

An elder in space, an academic big man, both agreed to go the moon route, and even if the others disagree, they can only hold it for a moment.

Moreover, the overwhelming majority supported the two-person proposal, with only a few dissidents.

There was probably a number of opinions in the minds of the experts present, Director Li asked symbolically if there were any other opinions, and saw that no one else raised their hands and said.

“The question of whether to take the Moon route or the Mars route does not seem to need to be debated anymore, and the views of the central discussion are similar, more worthy of our fight than some notorious honor, or something practical. ”

After a pause, Director Lee continued.

“Then the next phase of our work, we will remain concentrated in the monthly system. ”

“In consultation with other sectors, such as NASA, and in view of the increase in space activities in the future, our idea is to construct a space station in outer space to replenish other materials, such as spacecraft fuel, while carrying out scientific research tasks in deep space environments that cannot be accomplished on the ground. ”

“With regard to the station, NASA has produced two programmes, one in near-Earth orbit, the other on the International Space Station, and the other on the Moon orbit, the Moon Space Station project to be launched by the United States during the year. ”

“Where would it be better to build this station? I hope you can express your opinions! ”

Just as the voice fell, there was noisy discussion in the conference room.

Unlike before, this time, experts in this room, representatives from the business sector, want to speak. Much stronger, much louder and more controversial.

For no other reason, this is a major topic in the direction of the national strategy, but it concerns the vital interests of everyone, both academics and businesses.

Some were more conservative in their view that the space station should be built in near-Earth orbit and then gradually upgraded over a five-year period in order to advance into the lunar orbit.

On the other hand, the view of the other part was relatively radical that, since the Chinese State had acquired the delivery capacity of 25 tons of the Earth's Moon Transfer Orbit, it was perfectly possible to construct the station directly in the Moon orbit, and that it was not necessary to go to the International Space Station, where it already existed, to build an additional space station of its own.

After all, one of the most critical aspects of controllable fusion negotiations is to ease the entry threshold for international scientific cooperation projects, such as the International Space Station, and to participate in the Chinese State on equal terms.

To ask which side the Ark supports, that is undoubtedly the latter.

After all, the task of the system is there, and if he does not borrow the eastern wind of state funding, the little money on his own is not enough to take this second phase off.

Moreover, although the current international situation was somewhat difficult, he had always supported open cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation and the use of science to achieve common progress and prosperity for all humankind.

However, at this moment, he also had some hesitation, whether to accumulate experience in near-Earth orbit first, or to be brave and put his steps directly into the moon orbit.

Listening to the noise in his ear, the ark looked at the Yuan Academician sitting next to him and found that the same was true of this old gentleman at this moment. He locked his eyebrows tightly and fell into contemplation.

Perhaps he noticed the sight of the ark, or maybe he was going to ask the opinions of the ark. Yuan Huanmin looked up and asked him.

“What do you think? ”

Didn't expect him to suddenly ask himself this question, the ark was just about to say its own thoughts, and suddenly he thought back and said, “Speak first. ”

After seeing Ark Boat kick the ball back, Yuan Yard was silent for a while and sighed.

“To be honest, I don't know. ”

Ark eyebrows lifted slightly, some unexpectedly asked: “Don't know? ”

Don't you know?

Don't you always have an idea?

“Well," Yuan Huanmin nodded, his tone suddenly brought a few emotions, "our national space started late, thanks to the blessings of those who preceded us, so we didn't take many turns. I'm not afraid of your jokes, either, when the Columbia launch was successful, and we were going to start a space shuttle. Then why didn't you do it? Mr. Qian's support for rockets is one thing, but it's really decisive, or the Americans don't do it themselves, you know what I mean? ”

After listening to the short words, the ark nodded and was silent for a while.

“I understand, but there's nothing to joke about. ”

Research itself is a process of learning and discovery, no one is born to understand, no one else's ass. It is not shameful to walk behind the unit, but the key is to be able to sum up what belongs to you after learning.

While traveling to Princeton, he met a number of respectable scholars and learned a lot from them, and this valuable knowledge and experience contributed to his achievements today.

Ark also understands what Mr. Yuan's concerns are.

Today, China has succeeded in sending astronauts to the moon, both hard and soft, to the forefront of the international community.

By now, the stones in the river have been touched, and past examples are no longer available for reference.

The way forward, they can only try and find the right path out of their mistakes.

Looking at Yuan Academician, the Ark suddenly laughed and said, “I don't think it's a good thing that we haven't tasted it. ”

Yuan Yard frowned: “How can you say that? ”

Ark: “This means we're going to go from being chasers to being pioneers, and then it's up to us to set the standards for the world and watch others touch us across the river. ”

After hearing this sentence, Yuan Academician was obviously stunned and shook his head with a smile.

“Your generation is really interesting, isn't it good to be bored and rich? ”

“Sure,” the ark sighed, "but strength doesn't allow it. ”

Still boring and wealthy.

Looking to be a dick for the rest of your life?

No one else is stupid!

Mr. Yuan smiled and said: "Come on, you, wait to build this station into the moon orbit. You're blowing this bull with me. ”

Ark: “…? ”

Huh?

When is our relationship going to be so friendly you can joke?

But the most confusing thing about the ark is, how does this guy know that he's supporting the idea of a space station in moon orbit?

The debate at the meeting continued.

Just between the two of them, an expert from the space group stood up and the beard on his chin shook violently, speaking in an unquestionable tone.

“Near-Earth orbit, of course! ”

“As an example of the International Space Station can be found, the difficulty we have in engineering, while present, is not significant. Second, by accumulating construction experience in near-Earth orbit, we can firmly and steadily push our space strategy and accumulate experience for the future construction of the space station in the moon orbit! ”

A number of conservative voices in the room spoke in favour.

There are also business representatives of major operational projects in rocket-launching projects who nod their heads.

But just then, a sudden voice rang out.

“I have an objection. ”

A pair of sights, brushed together looking in the direction of the sound.

It was Professor Lu who sent the three astronauts to the moon.

Originally looking at the controversy in the conference room and having a headache, Director Li immediately raised his spirit, sat up straight and spoke with attention: "Go ahead. ”

The Ark laughed and said with ease: “Anyway, we're going to build a space station. I think it's better to build it directly in the moon orbit! ”

The voice dropped.

Throughout the hall, it was instantly lively.
