Chapter 28: Rush to Phobos
Speaking of the world pattern in recent years, it roughly presents a three-legged state.
To be more correct, it should be said that it is two and a half.
Two large countries located on the east and west coasts of the Pacific Ocean, plus a consortium, the latter of which is weaker in overall strength, the first two are roughly equal, and each has its own strengths.
As for the shortcomings, of course, there are them, but at this level of strength, even the shortcomings are much stronger than other forces.
The country where the Su family's fathers lived is now not only completely out of poverty, but also rich and powerful!
The fist is so hard that you can say no, this is the source of confidence for Old Man Su to not tremble even if he is injured.
In the sixties of the XXI century.
Overall, the world is still stable, you have me, I have you, and the trend of integration is intensifying.
All three forces have bases on Mars.
As for Su Yi's private investment in the Mars exploration company, it is a special case, usually people say that he has poor vision and threw money on Mars in vain, and even some investors helped to come up with ideas to let him sell the base on Mars and specialize in outsourcing business in the space field.
At that time, the old man really considered the possibility of turning the God of War Mars Exploration Company into a profit, but then Su Beidou was born unexpectedly, which overturned all the ideas that were almost formed in his mind.
Otherwise, Phobos might just be Phobos, and no one would care about this little satellite.
The news of the superconductor mine is enough to change the pattern that has been maintained for decades, and the three-legged situation will change amazingly as a large number of superconductor materials are transported back to Earth!
This is probably the main reason why someone did not hesitate to blatantly assassinate Old Man Su in an attempt to prevent the news from spreading.
In addition, there is an entanglement of interests, and the application field of superconductor matter is too wide and too important.
Human technology has been slow to evolve and has been stuck in critical materials for decades.
Since the advent of room temperature superconductors, many laboratories and research institutes have announced the successful emergence of data models that can theoretically build thermonuclear fusion devices through its parameters.
This means that whoever masters the source of superconductors will have access to a steady stream of clean energy, which is of immeasurable value.
Under this premise, it is not so surprising that some people want Old Man Su to die.
Don't look at the good words before, saying that whoever finds the mine will belong to whom, etc., stimulated by huge long-term interests, promises are not worth more than nonsense.
Before the superconductor mine on Phobos was determined, some people couldn't wait to jump out, even using weapons of that level, and they didn't care about the lives of those people in the terminal building at all.
Profit is king, that's the reality.
What is more realistic is that Old Man Su was attacked, and several artificial satellites in the earth's orbit were blown up, and if he wanted to make a big scene, the peaceful situation that had been maintained for more than a hundred years might come to an end.
The value of room temperature superconductors is so terrifying, but it can only be made into VR headsets, or high-performance aircraft that can circle the equator a few times......
The news spread fast.
Many high-level officials received the news and quietly raised the alert level.
is quite restrained, just Xianxiuxiu's fist has already caused a "big earthquake", all parties are waiting, and the phone that tried to pull the fight has also been broken.
Old man Su was sent to a hospital by bodyguards, and since the news spread, there was no reason to target him, and he was safe for the time being.
Colleagues and friends died, and the only surviving bodyguard was so tired that he collapsed, so he sent Old Man Su to the hospital first, and guarded him every step of the way, until an official compatriot rushed over, and then he had time to think about the whole thing.
hid in the stairwell and cried secretly, his own brother was also there when the explosion occurred, and he died in the blink of an eye so inexplicably, anyone who met it would not be able to accept it.
A similar situation has not occurred for decades, and not many people care about that kind of level game, small casualties.
The doctor helped Old Man Su treat the horrific wound on his leg, during which he also made a few phone calls, and could only get access to sporadic news, such as the tough attitude shown above, such as the fact that several fleets had moved.
For example, the victory base on Mars is ready to launch the return capsule as soon as possible, and it will land on Phobos first, and plant a red flag on it......
Su Baichuan didn't receive the details, but he just received the news and said that he would immediately rush to Huobos!
Reading between the lines is urgent.
So the preparation period was gone, and I didn't even give time to pack my luggage, so I immediately urged the five of them to bring the necessities into the return capsule, plus some tools.
Once on Phobos, the landing module was their base of life until a few days later when they welcomed the main transport ship of the Ares of War.
Sun Lai had already put on a thick spacesuit, felt inexplicable, and asked, "I just said that I was going to prepare for a few days, so let's go?"
"The incident happened suddenly, the news of the existence of superconductors on Phobos may have leaked out, and the earth is urging tightly, are you okay with your body?"
Daddy Su shook his head and said, he was quite puzzled, but when he asked about the other side of the earth, the people at the headquarters did not give a detailed answer, only said that they had to hurry up, and the satellite photos showed that the Bald Eagle base and the EU base were all active.
"It's okay, it's okay to hold on until Phobos, I've been exercising. ”
Sun Lai looked left and right, smiled and took out a ring, a ring made of stone, and said: "I'm going to wait for the transport ship, so I propose to Xiaoya, and propose in person in space, romantic, right?"
When the time comes, please be accommodating, please cooperate with you and others, don't say anything about leaking, please leave it to Brother Chuan for life, if she doesn't agree, remember to let my sister-in-law help me persuade you. ”
"Haha! I have long advised you to propose marriage quickly, there are two kinds of life on Mars and on Earth, it is better to tie her to your side quickly, so as not to run away when you get it!"
Su Baichuan patted Sun Lai on the shoulder hard, he didn't have much strength, he had been on Mars for too long, his muscle atrophy was too serious, and if he continued to stay, he would probably end up like Chen Dafeng, and he would have to stay in bed for a long time after returning to Earth.
He was teaching the other party his own experience, and he was more passionate when he was married to his wife Zhao Xin. Maybe it's because I've been on Mars for a long time, or maybe it's because I have children, but now I'm more like an old husband and wife, and I'm used to each other's existence.
On the two planets, the lifestyles are very different, and it is difficult to say that you can stay in love now and return to Earth.
Sun Lai nodded and replied seriously: "I think so too, it's best to even do the wedding directly, apply for an electronic passport, and then it depends on her thoughts to decide......"
Su Beidou just laughed when he heard it next to him, usually Zhang Ya didn't bully Sun Lai, but he didn't expect these two to come together.
Even his father didn't know about the tension on the earth, and Su Beidou didn't know anything about it, and he heard that it would be launched later, but the grandfather on the other side of the earth couldn't wait, and he wanted to know the situation on the Phobos one today.
Nearly twenty minutes later, the five members of the crew hurriedly boarded the re-entry capsule and began preparing the countdown to Phobos before the rest of the Martian bases.
All the best.
Ignite, lift off, and get rid of the gravitational pull of Mars.
As soon as Daddy Su breathed a sigh of relief, laughed and celebrated with the others, he unexpectedly appeared......
