Of course, Xiao Ming knew what Xu Limin was talking about, and he smiled.

Qian Yi was a little stunned, she knew the current technology of Pangu Technology, and she also knew that Pangu Technology had not had any large spacecraft except for launching satellites with conventional rockets in Nan'an, how could Pangu Technology with 0 experience go to Mars to save people?

Xu Limin explained, "We already have a complete plan and detailed implementation plan for controlled nuclear fusion in the application of engine projects in the aerospace field, but now our technology is not mature and we will try." Using the first generation of controlled nuclear fusion as an engine, the time to reach Mars will also be greatly shortened, and we will only need less than 30 days to reach Mars by calculating the kinetic energy provided by the plasma jet caused by controlled nuclear fusion. ”

Xu Limin didn't have time to use Qinghe to make a dynamic diagram, he directly drew the schematic diagram with paper and pen, "The powerful kinetic energy can allow us to run to Mars at a speed higher than 200 kilometers per second (the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second) without the help of any celestial gravitational ejection, and the future technology maturity may be several times this data." At this rate, combined with the difference between Mars' orbit and Earth's orbit in the next few days, we could reach Mars in less than 30 days. ”

Xu Limin wrote on the papyrus: "This is still the first generation of nuclear fusion engines, and in the future, we will use helium-3 as a raw material to optimize the engine, so the future speed will be very promising." ”

Just when Qian Yi was listening to this incomparably promising future with pointed ears, Xu Limin poured a basin of cold water on himself again.

"This is only theoretical, because at the moment our controlled nuclear fusion has not been officially used, it is still in the laboratory stage, and it will be riskier to apply it directly to the engine project. It depends on whether the people of the United States are willing to take risks. ”

Xiao Ming's point of view is more direct.

"Did I say I wanted to help?" Xiao Ming said: "I absolutely support the fearless adventurous spirit of the people of the United States to land on Mars in spirit, but Pangu Technology itself is also very busy, where can I help him." ”

Xiao Ming pushed Xu Limin's sketch over and said, "Professor Xu, you have to remember that the important project you have in hand now is the commercial use of controlled nuclear fusion, mainly for power generation. One is the anti-gravity project, did you start experimenting with your anti-gravity phase?"

Xu Limin laughed and put away his drawings, he was really busy, and the physics laboratory was also really busy, so he didn't have time to help save the people of the United States.

As for the signal that Chiesa and Bradward transmitted through Pangu Technology's communication on the moon, Xiao Ming didn't mind handing it over to NASA.

Pangu Technology did not set up a project for the nuclear fusion engine, but NASA couldn't sit still, and after reporting the situation on Mars and NASA's own assessment to the higher authorities, Jim took the initiative to hand over the "Deep Blue" magazine to the President (afraid of 404).

In his report to Congress and the President, Jim stated: "I hope ZF can ask Xia Guo for assistance, and so far, only Pangu Technology's controlled nuclear fusion technology can reach Mars within a month...... We have two excellent astronauts on Mars, they are facing death, and we have expensive equipment on Mars...... If Adam fails, the United States' plan for space exploration may be terminated, and it is likely to be decades before the Mars program and the deep space exploration program are restarted...... Based on the above reasons, NASA hopes to send an application for rescue cooperation to Pangu Technology in the name of the country......"

Jim's reasons are very strong, after NASA announced that Adam was in trouble, there are many different opinions within the United States, and most of the current opinions are for NASA to terminate any manned deep space exploration program, so the plan will be evaluated in the future to see if it will continue.

Fifty years ago, the United States stopped manned deep space exploration because of high costs and low returns, and the United States people have never landed on the moon again, let alone further away.

If the program is halted now, the next NASA manned deep space exploration may be 50 years away.

Fifty years and fifty years, this fifty years Xia people caught up with the moon landing, what about the next fifty years?

The reasons given by Jim are entirely plausible.

But there are a lot of issues that the United States side will consider.

First, is Pangu Technology's technology reliable, and can a single paper show that it has mastered controlled nuclear fusion and plasma engine technology?

Second, whether Pangu Technology is willing to help with this, after all, there are many conflicts and frictions between Mi and Pangu Technology, and even now most of Pangu Technology's products are still banned in Mi Guo. Some time ago, the conflict over energy was almost equivalent to a war of science and technology, and it was almost a bright tear.

Third, before the launch of Adam, the United States refused Pangu Technology's request to help carry the satellite to Mars, which was less than a month, and now the United States has asked Pangu Technology to agree to it.

In response to these doubts of the United States, Jim said very angrily: "Is face more important than the lives of two excellent astronauts? This is not in line with the morality we have been promoting! We need to communicate with Pangu Technology to know whether it is willing to cooperate with us." ”

Just when NASA and the United States were still struggling with whether to ask Pangu Technology for help, they received a distress signal from Chiesa and Bradward to Pangu Technology forwarded by Pangu Technology.

In addition, many radio amateurs in the world have also received international clear-code radio distress signals sent from Mars, amplifying through Pangu Technology's lunar communication equipment.

Chiesa and Bradward are calling again and again, hoping that Xia Kingdom, Russia, the East, Europe and other countries will ask for help.

This is also Pangu Technology's reply to the Adam, although we can't help you, but I can help you amplify the distress signal to every radio amateur, so that they can hear your appeal.

For a while, public opinion in the West exploded, and netizens conveyed a news that made NASA quite embarrassed.

"NASA is deceiving the world, the two astronauts didn't give up the chance to survive at all, that damn Plan B!"

"NASA's disregard for life for the sake of its image should be strongly condemned!"

"Oh my God! This is actually the work done by the United States, which has always admired human Q, and NASA and the United States have completely disregarded the lives of astronauts for the sake of their own image! This is simply the spirit of international hooliganism!"

"Is it true that the radio distress signal mentions that Pangu Technology can save people?"

"I don't know, this is news from Mars, not a news made up by Pangu Technology, it should be true. ”

"Pangu Technology Group's technology is so advanced that it can reach Mars in two months?"

"I hope the official can give a reasonable explanation. ”

Even media outlets such as the BBC and the New York Times are very shocked that NASA's approach is simply disregard for human life and completely inconsistent with people's perception and the universal morality of the world.

The New York Times commented: "Even if they can't rescue the two, they shouldn't be allowed to do pointless work, is the experiment really more important than life?"

The Washington Post cheekily commented: "We protest against NASA's disregard for astronauts, and we also hope that Pangu Technology can respond to the call of Mars and go to Mars to ask for people." ”

After this kind of comment was seen by overseas Chinese in the United States, they couldn't help but scold.

"It's okay to save people, but you should see how you treat Xia Guo Technology Company, and when you don't need to, you belittle it as useless, do you think Pangu Technology and Xia Guo people are fools?"

In the face of surging doubts in the public opinion circles, NASA's trust level has fallen to its lowest point.

Jim had no choice but to come forward and explain to the media.

In an interview, Jim explained:

"It's too late to rescue now, I've already mentioned at the briefing that it will take at least six months to get from Earth to Mars, and six months is far beyond the lifeline of astronauts, and we're too late. As for the matter of letting astronauts work in the last days of their lives, which has been making a lot of noise on the Internet, it is an expected plan B, and it is a plan B that does not need to be discussed with astronauts, which is the task that should be completed as a Martian astronaut. ”

This answer is not accepted by most people, who believe that NASA is indifferent to life.

A second question was raised.

"The distress signal from Mars said that Pangu Technology might be able to help, and I wonder if NASA is considering cooperating with Pangu Technology to carry out rescue. ”

This question......

Jim really didn't have a good answer.

Of course he wants to cooperate, but it depends on whether the top level of the United States can pull down this face.

Jim replied, "We have that in mind, but further research is needed." ”

Twelve hours later, an emergency meeting at the White House discussed the results.

I hope to cooperate with Pangu Technology, use Pangu Technology's nuclear-controlled fusion technology to send the backup rocket of the United States and the Eve space shuttle to Mars, and take the two astronauts home.

The United States itself is embarrassed to negotiate with Pangu Technology, and can only submit a request for cooperation to Pangu Technology in the name of NASA through the platform of the Global Astronautical Conference.

NASA officially sent a representative to Jiangcheng urgently, hoping to confirm two news, one is whether Pangu Technology has the technology to reach Mars in two months, and the second is whether Pangu Technology is willing to help.

Since it is coming in the name of the visit of the member countries of the Global Astronautical Congress, Pangu Technology certainly welcomes it.

Before NASA representatives arrived in Jiangcheng, the news that NASA had asked Pangu Technology for help spread all over the world.

Netizens in the United States cheered, thinking that the astronauts must have been saved.

Xia Guo netizens saw this news, but they had completely different views from Western netizens.

"We congratulate and admire the astronauts who were able to land on Mars, and regret their misfortune, but why should we have the obligation to help the United States? I remember very clearly that the United States has banned the sale of Pangu Technology's products. ”
