A global sandstorm?

After hearing this climb of light, the submarine consciously looked at the calendar at the corner of the table, confirming that this year was 2021.

After noticing the motion of the ark, Weishuang probably guessed what he was thinking and said.

“I know you're surprised… In fact, astronomers at the Qianzhou Radio Observatory are surprised that, on average, a global sandstorm would only occur on Mars for five to six years. ”

When you say that, the tone of the mood is a little complicated.

While it's good for them to have trouble with their hands, just as NASA doesn't want to see them so completely unlucky, it's not in their interest if Ares plans go bankrupt like this.

After listening to his report, the Ark pondered for a while and said.

“Is the reason clear? ”

When the light stood still, he smiled bitterly.

“How is this clear...”

Climate change on the surface of Mars has been a mystery, and due to the thinness of the atmosphere and the severe desertification of the surface, there are virtually no reliable means of observation to accurately predict its climate change.

One can only deduce more empirically that summer is a frequent period of dust storms, with global dust storms occurring every five to six years, which can last for months or even an entire year, accompanied by lightning caused by grit collision friction.

To make accurate predictions of climate change on Mars, at least throw a few meteorological satellites into Mars near-Earth orbit.

Ark: “What impact would a global sandstorm have on the colonists on Mars? ”

Weather: “Generally speaking, sandstorms mainly affect the normal operation of solar power equipment, but new Virginia colonies should be equipped with backup power equipment, and the problem should be small… Of course, no one can say exactly what the situation is, only NASA knows what it is. ”

The life-support unit basically brings together state-of-the-art technology from several space companies, including Space-X and Blue Origin, and although Ares plans to start rather hastily, if Musk has been preparing for colonial Mars for more than a decade, it is unlikely that his technicians will not take into account the exposure to dust storms.

It is not even excluded that they have had a preview on the planet to deal with similar situations.

Of course, these are mere speculations of the Ark itself.

As Waterlight said, it is only those on Mars who know exactly what it is.

The ark nodded and agreed with him, pondering for a moment to continue.

“Let the Qianzhou Radio Observatory stay focused on Mars… the rest depends on what NASA says. ”

At present, his work is still focused on the moon, and he can only pay attention to what is happening on Mars. It would be a good thing for him to see what steps the Americans had taken in Mars colonization technology through this dust storm.

After reporting the incident, Hui Guang left the office and took the door with him.

Looking at the closed door, the ship thought of a meeting with the Director of ESA in the afternoon and was about to get up and get ready.

But at this point, he suddenly thought of something like stopping, thinking for a few seconds and opening up to the closed computer.

“Em, adjust the decryption order of the files, first crack the latest numbered communication file! ”

The signal flashed, sort of in response to him.

The ark nodded its head and stood up and walked outside the office.

……

With controllable fusion negotiations at an advanced stage, China's relations with the rest of the world are at the honeymoon stage, and cooperation in both the economic and scientific fields has reached a fairly close level.

The accession of China to the ISS programme and the conclusion of a cooperation agreement between the European Union and the Chinese State on the cooperation of the Moon Palace Space Station are the best examples of this.

Within the command tower of the Jinling Space Launch Center, the ship met with Mr. Owens, Director of ESA.

At the conclusion of his meeting in Shanghai, Jinling was placed on a special tour with the EU delegation to China. One of the main reasons for this was to meet the Ark - the chief designer of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee who led the Chinese space industry in a direct pursuit of NASA, the legendary scientist...

“Hello Professor Lu, nice to meet you! ”

Upon his first encounter, skinny Owens grabbed the canoe's hand with enthusiasm and swayed hard. For Mr. Owens with a smile on his face, the Ark also responded with a polite and enthusiastic smile, saying.

“It's good to see you too, Mr. Owens! Sit down, please. ”

Followed by officials from the ESA Secretary's Office, as well as journalists from major media outlets in Europe and China.

The meeting was open and the parties would exchange views on specific cooperation programmes, while at the same time sending a signal to the international community.

In other words, the negotiations between China and EU countries on the Moon have made good progress.

During the meeting, Director Owens, sitting on the couch opposite him, presented his views in a funny tone.

“If we compartmentalize the past history of human exploration of space, I think we can divide it into three stages. ”

The Ark laughed and asked, "Which three are there? ”

Owens laughed and continued: "In Space 1.0, humans studied astronomy and astrology, and religious and cultural factors accounted for a large proportion of them. And by the time we got to Space 2.0, we were in space, we were on the moon, we were in Apollo. In the space phase 3.0, space became another dimension of human development, and commercial launches became more frequent, thus bringing our civilization into the era of the International Space Station.

The Ark laughed and asked, "Sounds like an interesting statement. What do you think the Space 4.0 era would be? ”

Owens thought for a moment, smiling.

“I think the Space 4.0 era is the Moon Age and the Moon Palace Age. ”

“Oh?” the ark laughed, joking, “Why not Ares? ”

Director Owens shook his head with a smile.

“Mars is so far away that it takes months to get back and forth at a time that Europe is not currently in a position to participate. Perhaps the next era will be the Ares era, but at present we are looking more closely at the Moon. ”

Hearing that, the heart of the ark was filled with emotion.

That's a really good word to say.

That is, licking them, without losing the face of the Americans, is not that they don't like Ares, but that they are not strong enough to participate.

By the way, is this guy really German?

Ark always felt a little different from some of the German friends he knew...

It didn't stop, Owens smiled at the reporter's camera and continued.

“In this new era, our civilized humanity will establish a new space order, with a greater focus on social exchanges in space and internationalization, with more countries participating in space projects in the future, more people of different skin colours operating on spacecraft in outer space, and a common destiny that unites us. ”

“If you wish, we would like to work with you to develop the resources of the Moon and build the 'Moon Village’. ”

The ark smiled and extended its right hand.

“Our position is, of course, the same as always, and I am pleased to be able to reach a consensus with you. ”
