Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1361: Ending the Contest

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

It's been a busy scene since the early morning.

Thanks to the blessings of the Chinese people, not only the chatty journalists, but also the civil society representatives and opposition parliamentarians who read the manuscripts like copiers, have been struggling with them almost all the time, as if doing so would solve any problems.

But that's not what really makes the White House feel bad.

With the completion of the monthly economic integration strategy based on the Moon Palace and the establishment of the Guangcoln Special Economic Zone, they have been completely left behind.

If you could come and go with the Chinese in space for a while, it would be almost impossible to go back to heaven.

To put it bluntly, in the face of sophisticated controllable fusion and plasma propulsion technologies, the space reserved for chemical rockets has become very, very small. They didn't lose strategically, they got stuck in the neck by a technology bottleneck.

But anyway, losing is losing.

Anyone with a bright eye can see that this space race has been powerless to continue to compete. What matters now is not how to win, but how to “end decently”.

“The latest news, this time from the National Space Administration of China, has published to the United Nations and the International Space Organization a road map for the Mars colonization plan, which intends to build a permanent settlement on Mars of 200 people within five years for scientific exploration activities. ”

“In addition, the latest information received from the Arizona Observatory indicates that the colonial vessel Xufu has successfully left the Earth Moon system and continues to operate at its current acceleration, arriving in Mars orbit as soon as 14. ”

Listening tirelessly to his subordinates' debriefing, the President sat behind the desk and rubbed his sour brow heart with his forefinger and thumb.

From the time he assumed the presidency, he had no idea how much hair he had grieved for the future of the country.

Of all the presidents in the history of the United States, I'm afraid no one is more sad than him.

If he had to find one, he bet it would be his next term, or at least after his term.

“Keep watching… there is nothing we can do for now but wait for the good news to come from the Gate of Deep Space. ”

When he heard this, Director Carson stood in the office with an awkward look on his face, pretending not to hear and look aside.

Concerned about the negative attitude of the President, the Secretary of State frowned.

“Nothing is a good idea, and the current state of public opinion has shown dissatisfaction with our indifference. I'm worried about going on like this--”

The President impatiently said.

“So do you have any good ideas? ”

“It's not a good idea, but… I think it's at least a remedy. ”

“Oh?”

“Despite the reluctance of many Americans to admit it, in fact, we have lost the best period of competition," the Secretary of State continued, glancing indifferently at Director Carson, "their Heavenly Palace leads too many of our 'deep space gates', the Moon Science Examination Station and the IMCRC collider have garnered the support of the international academic community, and it has become unrealistic for us to delay their economic development through a space race. ”

After a while of silence, the Secretary of State continued.

“Continue to drag it down like this, passive instead of us. ”

“My suggestion is to end this pointless race as soon as possible and get our relationship back on track. If we cannot defeat them, cooperation is a good option for both of us. ”

The sparrows in the office were silent.

While it is known that this is the best option, the courage required to make such a choice is not available to the average person.

Perhaps launching the competition was the wrong decision.

But it's too late to say anything.

Someone has to come out and step on the brakes for this already out of control train.

After a long period of silence, the silent President finally sighed and said slowly.

“You're right. ”

“It's time to end this. ”

I don't know why, when I heard the President say that, Director Carson always felt as if he was in his teens for a moment.

But anyway, Carson, finally relieved to hear that.

Before he got here, what he was most worried about was the President's stubbornness, his willingness to carry out a human firing plan, and then throw all the problems into the next person's head.

If that were the case, it would be a disaster for the United States.

Luckily for him, it's not too late to step on the brakes.

“We need an opportunity to restore bilateral relations, an opportunity that is acceptable to both peoples, and that also gives us a chance to step down. ”

Now that a decision has been made, there is nothing to hesitate about.

The decadent breath swept away from his face, putting everything down completely, and regaining his confident expression on his face.

Watching with satisfaction that his superiors had made the right choice, the Secretary of State nodded with ease and advised him.

“Yes, we all need such an opportunity. The award of the former International Union of Materials Research Societies was a good opportunity, but unfortunately pushed away by the Ark. ”

After a pause, he continued.

“However, although the Ark itself could not come, I heard that his students seemed to travel to Boston to replace him at the April meeting of the International Union of Materials Research Societies and to report on his thesis published in The Future some time ago. ”

The president frowned lightly, “A scholar usually has a lot of students. ”

“But there's always someone special, like this Ms Han Mengqi.” On the Secretary's face. With a confident smile, she continued, "According to the information we investigated, she is Chen Yushan's cousin, and it is not necessary to say the identity of that woman, who was engaged to Ark for some time. According to the customs of China, Master Lu should be classified as the" brother-in-law "of the Han Mengqi. ”

Because of the strange pronunciation of the word, he read it several times before succeeding in reading it correctly.

A strange look at his Secretary of State, the President hesitated to say.

“You can never… give her the annual Award of the Learning Alliance. ”

“Of course not! Nor could the International Union of Materials Research Societies accept such absurdity, but… we could look for an alternative, such as the creation of an award such as the International Young Scholars for Progress Award, to be awarded to her individually in the name of the International Union of Materials Research Societies. ”

Speaking of which, the Secretary of State smiled on his face and continued in a confident tone.

“We can then take this opportunity to invite her and the other winners to dinner at the White House, where the Ambassador of China will also be. ”

“If China also has an idea to repair the relationship with us. ”

“Everything will be much simpler. ”
