Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Jinling Higher Institute.

Certain laboratories of the Institute of Computational Materials.

Yang Xu, who was doing the experiment meticulously, suddenly raised his head, pushed his glasses, looked at the ark standing at the door of the laboratory and said openly.

“You're here? I was just looking for you, that piece of fabric... where the hell did you get it? ”

“I got it from the relevant department, it's a state secret, I'll talk to you about it after the confidentiality period,” Yang Xu did not answer the question, Ark put the report on the table and said, "Is there a way to make this thing? ”

Listen to this "state secret” heard countless times, Yang Xu made a helpless expression, no longer continued to ask, while putting the tube in his hand back on the tube rack, as he spoke.

“Are you referring to laboratory or industrial preparation? ”

Ark: “Both. ”

After a moment of reflection, Yang Xu seriously said: "I can do the former now, but the latter's words... I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

The ark immediately asked, "What's the comparison to the SG-1 superconducting material? ”

Yang Xu smiled bitterly: "The industrial preparation difficulty of both is not at all on a scale. ”

When Yang Xu said this, the face of the ark showed a heavy expression.

As he guessed, it wasn't so good to get out.

Because of his frequent presence in the laboratory, Yang Xu's abilities in the field of experimentation are slightly stronger than those of him who is better at theoretical research.

If he says so, then this is how the Eight Achievements are.

“Anyway, let's start with a project about this material, whether it's difficult or not, let's try to solve it first... and, by the way, I have to ask you something. ”

Yang Xu: “What is it? ”

The Ark thought for a while and said, "Are there any pharmaceutical companies that have a good relationship with us? ”

“Pharmaceutical enterprise?” Yang Xu slightly stunned, his index finger subconsciously touched his chin, thought for a moment and then shook his head, “Probably not. There are mainly some materials, chemical companies, pharmaceutical companies are really not... Is there a problem? ”

The ark nodded down and said, "I have two interesting compounds here that may require the help of some professional institutions to do clinical experiments and, if possible, ask them to do surrogates. ”

Best of all, by the way, help solve the problem of next market sales.

After all, solo is less expensive than Pleasure, but it's too expensive if you use it yourself. If you apply the active ingredient extracted from the liquid food and the special amino acid extracted from the future Coke to the food, health products and even medicine fields, you can make more money for him.

And then again, that kind of liquid food is also available in space.

Yang Xu pushed his glasses and asked, "Is it economically valuable? Or is it just the reagent that will be used in the experiment? ”

The ark nodded down: “There must be economic value, at least I personally feel that it is definitely useful in the food and medical fields. ”

“That's not a problem at all," Yang Xu laughed and said jokingly, "The Noble Laureate wants to find someone to work with. He's afraid that those who come to the door and ask for cooperation can line up from here to go to the hotel. ”

……

Arizona.

On a desert, a Hummer raced along the highway.

Sitting in the back of the Hummer, Musk, wearing sunglasses, looked out the window at the desert and the cactus, painting the painting and sitting next to him, said Director Carson.

“… in fact, Mars is more colonial than the Moon, where there is an abundance of atmosphere… despite its low density. There is also a wealth of minerals, as well as resources such as methane, that can be used by our colonists to develop light and heavy industries. If necessary, we can also consider melting the dry ice in both poles, freeing up the carbon dioxide stored in Mars' rock formations, and reviving the planet's atmosphere with the greenhouse effect. ”

Listen to Fang's plan, Director Carson laughs and asks, "How many centuries are you going to take to complete it? ”

"Maybe ten centuries? Or a hundred. But that's not the point, that's not the Space-X mission, and I'm very clear about Space-X, and we're going to play the role of a space-age 'railroad company' in the future, and their mission is to navigate through space, build transportation systems, and put forward frontier positions for humanity under Mars. ”

Director Carson picked out his eyebrows and said, "That sounds ridiculous, even a little funny. ”

To be honest, he didn't want to fantasize about something so distant.

If that technology had existed, it would have been much more practical to turn the Arizona desert into an oasis than to colonize Mars, tens of millions of kilometres away.

Of course, these words he just said in his heart.

After all, he is the director of NASA, the direct head of the Ares program. The success or failure of this operation has to do with the glory of the United States and with the future of his destiny.

Even though he was not convinced of what the direct and visible benefits of colonial Mars would be, he would remain fully committed to the plan.

After all, he has put all the chips on the plan.

To Director Carson's tune, Musk did not think that he had heard much of it over the years, nor cared much about it, similar and more acute irony.

Looking out the window at the rolling red sand, he said easily: "When building the Union Pacific Railway, there are people who say it's a stupid project, but looking back today, no one can deny the benefits it brings to the United States. The same is true of flying to Mars, which offers great opportunities for mankind and gives us renewed momentum and courage to challenge the future… Here we are. ”

The two men were speaking and had arrived at their destination.

Next to a canyon, a full-bodied white dome-shaped building sits in a deserted desert.

There were some engineering equipment parked next to him, engineers in safety helmets, surrounding this weird building, doing the final commissioning.

Director Carson squinted as he pushed Hummer's door down and looked at the giant hemispherical egg standing in the desert.

“Is that what this is? ”

“Yes.” By the road, Musk smiled and opened his arms, “Welcome to the Arizona Oasis, which will be our new home for future colonists. Although he may lack aesthetics from the outside, I'm sure his interior will be luxurious enough to surprise you. ”

Staring at this giant egg, Director Carson squints and asks, "You know I don't care about that. What I want to know is, are you sure our colonists can live 26 months in this strange building? ”

Musk smiled and said, "Of course, while time does not allow us to do longer tests, through the reserve variation functions of food, fresh water, oxygen and other survivors, even our colonists can survive for at least 30 months without any productive activity, with a guaranteed continuous electricity input. ”

Director Carson continued, “How are you going to get it to Mars? ”

“Of course it's with our BFR super rocket,” patted Director Carson on the shoulder, Musk's teeth smiling, “believe me, we're winning this race, everything is under control. ”
