Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Electric propulsion system?

Understand?

After hearing this from the Ark, Director Carson stunned for two seconds.

He then refused categorically, almost without any hesitation.

“No need!”

“Everything is fine on the New Virginia, and our life-support unit can guarantee their survival without any need for rescue. ”

How can you let the Chinese save people?

If you can't get it back, where else would you put NASA's face?

Not to mention, the BFS ship brings together state-of-the-art technology from many space companies, such as Space-X, and spends tens of billions of dollars on research and development alone, not to mention the life support unit that landed on the surface of Mars...

He can't believe these Chinese will be so clean!

Looking at Director Carson's face rather than his full face, he couldn't help laughing even though the Ark didn't mean to be happy.

Paused for a moment, he said.

“Really? But the three astronauts in New Virginia don't seem to think so. ”

Hearing this unexpected statement, Director Carson frowned slightly and asked, “What do you mean? ”

The ark cleared its voice and continued: "It doesn't mean anything, just out of concern for the colonists in New Virginia, we tried to accept the electromagnetic wave signals coming down from Mars. ”

In an instant, a cold sweat emerged from behind him, Director Carson's eyes slightly squinted and his tone was unfair.

“You listened to our comms? ”

“Don't get so excited. Don't you do this all the time?” The Ark laughed and went on to say, "Besides, we just accidentally ‘heard’ normal astronomical observations. ”

“So what? Our communications are encrypted...”

Without waiting for Director Carson to finish, the Ark interrupted his words with three letters directly.

“SOS.”

“ ”

The rest of those words were clogged in the throat, and Commissioner Carson's eyes popped out.

If, at first, he thought the ark was bluffing and trying to talk from him, the idea was now dead.

Forced to break the look on his face, Director Carson said.

“We… do not need your assistance -”

“No, you need it," interrupted Director Carson immediately, and the Ark said seriously, “it's three lives, you better think about it again and answer my question. ”

After that, the ark reached out and knocked on the keyboard, ending the communication.

Watching the interrupted video call, Director Carson was silent for a while and pressed his hand against his eyebrow and felt a severe headache.

Three fucking lives...

Things have come to this point, who cares about these things?

However, he was unable to refute the words of the Ark.

If China releases communication documents that contain information about a request for help, and they do nothing on their side...

It would be a catastrophic blow to the credibility of the authorities.

Perhaps the United States could care less about the dead and alive astronauts, but the White House could not, nor could he, and any decision maker involved in the issue could ignore the impact behind it.

If ten minutes ago he was able to plug the accident with an accident or a natural disaster, now he has been forced to make a choice at a crossroads...

If we don't, this would have been an accident, and it would have been a murder!

Standing next to Director Carson, the assistant swallowed the mouth spit.

“Sir? Are you... okay? ”

“I'm fine," he put down his hands on his eyebrows, and Director Carson paused for a while looking at a pair of eyes looking this way in the command center, then turned around and said to the secretary behind him.

“Prepare the car… I'm going to the White House now. ”

Such matters can only be decided by the President.

The assistant stunned for a moment.

“Now?”

“Now! ”

……

Meanwhile, Jinling Institute of Higher Studies.

After finishing the communication, the longboat took a long breath and relaxed against the office chair.

He's not very good at negotiating, but I'm sure his meaning has been accurately conveyed to Director Carson. If there is no official response from the United States, he will take the initiative to release the communication data.

At that stage, if the United States still did not provide an official response, the Moon Orbit Construction Committee would unilaterally announce humanitarian relief to the new Virginia colonizers.

After all, if you don't save people, you can't stop them from saving them, can you?

As for the benefits of bringing people back?

Whether people die or live doesn't really matter at all. Living is a huge boost to China's national prestige and international image. Even if people die, it doesn't hurt to help people collect corpses.

The ship is still quite curious about the technology used on that life-support unit, as well as the BFS spacecraft floating in Mars orbit. Even sending a researcher up there is a pretty meaningful thing.

At this point, the computer signal light flashed slightly and a series of bubbles popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

Em: [Master, someone is trying to transfer the Trojan horse to your computer. ( ∀ *)

Trojan horse?

Mostly CIA intelligence, right?

Not surprisingly, Carson was also a ministerial official after all, sending video requests to his computer on his own initiative. It was strange not to be targeted by the CIA.

Ark: “Can it be solved? ”

[Not a big problem! (≧ ∇ ≦)

The ark lit its head down: “I'll leave it to you, if it's convenient, to teach them a lesson, but don't overdo it. ”

Em: [Roger, it's on Em! (๑ • ㅂ •)✧]

Bubbles disappear.

The fan of the notebook turned for a while and quickly stopped moving.

Ark probably solved the problem, so he took the phone out of his pocket, turned the address book, and called Hookuang.

The phone rang three times and was quickly connected.

Without too much chills, the ark opened its doors directly.

“Get Ground Command to start calculating the course, and within 12 hours, I need an accurate, electric propulsion system that can execute the fastest transfer orbit from the Moon to Mars! ”

“In addition, the rescue mission was placed on the Xia Guang, which is carrying out its mission in the Earth Moon Transfer Orbit. Get them ready for a rescue mission, send the stationed astronauts to the Moon Palace Space Station, complete the supply immediately, and then stand by in Moon orbit. ”

The Lunar Palace consists of specialized space cargo compartments, storage of spare fusion batteries and propulsion works. Since the station originally existed as a "Moon Port”, there is naturally no problem in completing the replenishment of the quality on the Moon Palace.

After listening to the orders of the Ark, Weihuangguang asked immediately.

“Has the United States already responded? ”

“Don't wait for them to respond," the ark shook its head and continued, “I really want to wait for them to respond, I'm afraid it's too late for anything. ”
