Chapter 1337: The Flesh of Civilization

[Task: Space Component A]

[Description: Materials are flesh and blood of civilization, from ancient walls to infinite rings of stars, all magnificent wonders are closely related to them.

[Requirements: A Young's modulus ≥ 2.1TPa, destruction strength ≥ 80Nm… was found.

[Reward: 500,000 material science experience, one draw chance, 1000 points.

Physics is full, and the ship is just about to enter the realm of materialism, referring to the material required in the blueprint of the Lagrange Space Base, as if it were tailored for him.

“A super strong tensile material? ”

“Sounds interesting. ”

The corner of the canoe's mouth curled with a smile.

There was probably a bottom line in his mind on how to achieve that technical requirement, but there was still a need to test those assumptions about experimentation.

Without surprise, the mission should not have delayed him long enough.

“500,000 Materials Experience… just enough to upgrade Materials to LV8. ”

Confirmed the progress bar on the Properties panel, and the Ark did not hesitate to reach out and select this task.

Looking at the dialog box that popped up, he stretched out his index finger and scratched it off the holographic screen, turning off the taskbar.

But just before the task bar disappeared completely, the ship suddenly noticed that there seemed to be an "A” sign at the end of the task ID.

“Meaning… is this still a series of tasks? ”

Thinking about it, the heart of the ark couldn't help but wonder.

Now that there is an A, that means there will be a series like BCD in the future?

Fortunately, however, this is not the type of task chain that he has encountered in the past, in years, that cannot be turned back once it begins.

Otherwise, he would really consider whether it would be worth it to devote so much time to the 500,000 experience of the district..

……

Just as the ark was lying in its own bed and roaming the system space, it was far away on Chang 'an Street in Shangjing City, in an ancient and fragrant conference room, many people dressed in formal clothes were seriously sitting at the conference table.

From the signs prevented at that table, the identity of the people sitting here cannot be underestimated, either as a leader in the scientific and technological development sector or as the leader of the national focal points.

After a glance at the time on the watch, almost ten minutes before the beginning of the meeting, Director Li sat at the conference table unwrapping the insulation cup and sipping tea.

Just as he was preparing to close his eyes and organize a speech in his mind, Vice Minister Liu, a second-in-command of the Ministry of Science and Technology next to him, suddenly spoke to him slightly over his face.

“This time the pen is not just big. ”

A little confused about the colleague's intention to talk to himself. After a moment of reflection, Director Li simply took the place and appended a few words.

“Yes.”

Two super projects at the same time, all invested in trillions of billions of dollars.

Even with the current strength of the Chinese State, it is a matter of considerable pressure.

In particular, both projects are also concentrated in the space sector, and are the kind of bottomless holes that are short-term invisible returns and only inaccessible in the medium term.

Perhaps it is worth it in the long run and will benefit countless generations of Huaxia children, but who can guarantee that?

Most of them may not survive that time. When the project is completed, the vast majority of those responsible are no longer alive...

Therefore, even if the plan had been initiated by the Ark itself, it would not have been endorsed by all.

In previous high-level meetings, this controversy has come to the fore in discussions.

“Do you think it's appropriate to do this now? ”

When he heard this from his colleagues, Director Li immediately reacted.

After half a day, this guy is talking to himself.

Laughing, Director Li said.

“It's inappropriate to look at the issue. ”

Vice-Minister Liu asked some questions.

“What do you mean? ”

“Remember about a while ago, Dean Lu and I said that the Lagrange Space Base was a springboard for distant galaxies, and the Mars Science Examination Station was a testing ground for our colonial distant galaxies, which, taken together, would serve as a catalyst for the prosperity of our space industry within a hundred years. If we intend to explore a more distant world, this step will have to be taken sooner or later, only sooner or later. ”

“Is it just a matter of time or two?” Deputy Minister Liu sighed, "he said, but I always felt... it still sounded a little too far away. ”

Director Li didn't know what to say either, just nodded his head.

“That's inevitable. ”

That seems to be the end of the topic.

But just when he thought so, Deputy Minister Liu suddenly thought of something again and asked.

“When I heard the elders went to Shanghai, I met with Master Lu? ”

Director Li was slightly stunned and his subconscious location was lower.

“It seems so. ”

Vice Minister Liu's eyes suddenly appeared. After a moment of reflection, he gently lowered his head, which seemed to mean something profound.

“Then this meeting is kind of interesting. ”

At exactly 1: 00 a.m., the meeting officially began.

As in previous discussion sessions, it was the elders who presided over them. Unlike previous times, however, this time at the beginning of the meeting was not a PPT, but a device that… was a bit odd in shape.

“... what the hell is that? Air humidifier? ”

Deputy Minister Liu muttered softly when he saw the thin white fog coming from the device.

The overwhelming majority of people reacted, like him, to this strangely styled machine, making it a little unclear.

The old man standing at the conference table laughed and explained.

“Holographic projection system. ”

“I discovered that this equipment is not just used for entertainment, but can also make a lot of abstract things intuitive in conference presentations. ”

In the talking room, a bright blue light emerged from the top of that weird-looking machine, a magnificent space fortress woven in that mist of light gauze.

As soon as that pitch-black fortress appeared in the mist, a lot of people's eyes were completely taken away from it, and they died adhering to that metallic shell.

The old man laughed and continued, reading shocking emotions from those two enlarged pupils.

“When I was in Shanghai, Master Lu showed me this device, and I was not less surprised than you. ”

“The fortress that we are now seeing is a three-dimensional conceptual map of the Lagrange space base, scaled down to equal proportions, once the blueprint is completed. ”

“It's not just the Lagrange Space Base, it's the final form of the city of Mars… just like that. ”

Images in the white mist continue to change, and the reconstituted light particles weave a cloud of yellow sand in that heavy fog barrier, where, like a mirage in a sea city, a science-fiction space city emerges.

Looking back at the city full of science fiction, the old man continued to say.

“This is the conceptual map of the city of Mars… and the ultimate goal of the Mars Science Examination Station. Just as we expect from the District of Guangdong, one day they will become a reality. ”

“Whether or not to turn it into a reality, the choice has always been in our hands. ”

The light above the holographic system dissipates with the white mist.

The old man paused for a moment and laughed and continued.

“I think we can all be more imaginative about the future now that we are all in a fast-growing era. ”

“And this is also a young man, giving me advice. ”

When he heard this, Vice-Minister Liu, sitting under the stage, gave a surprise look on his face and whispered a silent message in his heart.

“… I did talk to Master Lu. ”

Commissioner Li's face was equally full of surprise. Although he was aware of the influence of the Ark, he did not expect it to be this big.

The old man standing on the stage did not make any stops, changed his serious tone and continued to say.

“We've been discussing this for a long time since the first meeting, and it's time for a result today. ”

“In that case, vote on it! ”

As the voice of the elderly falls, the voting session begins quickly.

Looking at the voter on the table, Director Li, without any hesitation, reached out and pressed the "yes" button.

That's what he thought a long time ago, and he hasn't changed his mind.

The blueprint for the space base, as long ago as it had been branded, had been deeply printed in his heart. He believed that the blueprint had a chance to become a reality, thanks to the unscrupulous efforts of Master Lu and the Chinese space industry!

Whether or not he had the chance to see the day he became a reality, he wished he wasn't at least the one who dragged his legs behind.

At this point, Director Li suddenly used Yuguang to notice that Deputy Minister Liu, sitting next to him, also pressed the same button as him on the polling machine.

Looks like he voted in favor of Deputy Minister Liu, although he was hesitant when he chatted earlier.

With this in mind, Director Li suddenly felt a little happy.

Though he didn't know much about it, what was it that made him happy?

Five minutes have passed.

The results of the poll soon appeared on the big screen.

A total of 211 votes in favour, 13 against and 5 abstentions.

Without a doubt, this is an overwhelming victory!

Looking at the results of the vote on the screen, the old man nodded softly with praise in his eyes.

Turning to the Chamber, he announced the outcome of the topic in a solemn and steady voice.

“I declare. ”

“Mars Science Examination Station Project, LaGrand Day Point Space Base Project ——”

“Approve the project! ”
