Hearing Secretary Yang's inquiry, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and couldn't help but say with a smile.

"If they want to get involved, let them get involved, do you need to ask me about this?"

Secretary Yang asked with a serious expression: "But what about confidentiality?" ”

Lu Zhou shook his head and continued.

"Don't be so nervous, the Tinder project is different from the STAR-2 project, and there are no secrets in itself. And we have no experience in this area, and if we can get help from international organizations, many problems will be much easier for us than before. ”

In addition to bringing a lot of advanced technologies such as "temperature control systems" and the warning that "there is only one earth", Biosphere 2 also trained a large number of outstanding ecological and biological scholars.

Although Biosphere 2 ultimately failed, the lessons of these failures will be invaluable to those who succeed them.

In particular, these "losers" have summed up the experience of past failures and are ready to challenge this scientific proposition for the future of humanity once again. In that case, there is no reason for Project Tinder to turn away these talented people.

Even if the risk of intelligence personnel from other countries being mixed in cannot be ruled out, all risks are manageable.

Secretary Yang touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "You mean, we should involve those international scholars as well?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "I highly recommend this." Even not only the Tinder program, but also our moon landing program, many projects that do not involve core areas can be cooperated with the international community. ”

In this way, we can dispel the wariness of neighboring countries about China's vigorous development of spacecraft, and second, we can attract more talented people to come to China to engage in research work or even settle down for a long time.

In addition, in terms of the depth of cooperation, China can also focus on selecting countries with good diplomatic relations.

This is also very helpful in enhancing China's influence in the international academic community.

Lu Zhou can see this, and Secretary Yang, who works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, naturally can't fail to see it.

After listening to Lu Zhou's words, he pondered for about half a minute, and immediately got up from the sofa.

"Your opinion is valuable, and I will accurately convey it to the higher-ups."

Lu Zhou: "Are you ready to leave?" Don't stay for dinner? ”

"No, I'm not in a hurry to go back," Secretary Yang smiled and continued, "Save this meal for later, and wait for you to go to Beijing next time, I'll invite you." ”

Lu Zhou smiled, didn't keep him, and sent him to the door of the office.

Huaguo does not lack experience in large-scale scientific research projects, but lacks experience in leading large-scale international scientific research projects, and this cooperation can be used as an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou returned to his desk and sat down, took out a piece of letter from the drawer, thought about it for a while, and wrote down his opinions and opinions on this matter from the perspective of a scholar.

The globalization of scientific research is an inevitable trend in the future.

Just like the globalized industry, as humanity's understanding of nature moves into a deeper realm, a huge scientific research project will no longer be an obligation of any one country, but a responsibility that should be undertaken by the entire international community in cooperation and together.

And in this responsibility, whoever can occupy the dominant position will be able to stand on the cusp of the future......

The tip of the pen ran smoothly across the paper, and without paying attention, he wrote four or five pages freely.

Standing up and reading the letter, Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction, then folded it and stuffed it into his pocket, intending to send it out later.

What he didn't know at this moment was that the letter he wrote at this moment and the Shanghai International Research Cooperation Organization established in the future would have a profound impact on the political landscape of Asia and the whole world many years later.

In a sense, this effect is even brighter than the light of controlled fusion......

Stretching his waist and leaning back on the chair, just as Lu Zhou was thinking about whether to order takeout or go to the cafeteria to eat, the mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate.

picked up the mobile phone and took a look, and seeing that it was the senior sister calling, Lu Zhou got up from the office chair, pressed the button to connect, and went to the corridor outside the office.

As soon as the phone was connected, the familiar and pleasant voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.

"The Hangke Group just had a phone call with me, and the space planting unit designed by them in cooperation with Huanong University has been completed, and it will be delivered to our launch base in a week at the earliest."

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's face showed a look of surprise.

"Already done? So fast? ”

Therefore, the deployment of space planting units on the lunar surface is not a sub-project of the manned lunar landing program, but a private project carried out at the expense of Star Technology. As for the reason why Lu Zhou made this arrangement, it was naturally because of the task chain called "Earth and Moon Control" issued to him by the system.

In the first phase of the mission chain, there are two interesting branches, which are to deploy a 10-square-meter unmanned planting module on the lunar surface, and to breed and observe 10 mice on the lunar surface.

Just in time for the moon landing program, Lu Zhou reported the research project to the space agency, and the application was carried out at the same time as the manned lunar landing program.

And after receiving Lu Zhou's application, the space agency also approved it very happily.

Xiangrui's Earth-Moon transfer orbit carrying capacity is 25 tons, and after deducting the 17 tons needed for the lunar landing program, there is still 8 tons of carrying capacity remaining. The 8-ton carrying capacity is also empty, so it is better to use it to do something meaningful.

As long as Lu Zhou does not apply to put himself on it, of course, the space agency has no reason to refuse.

At that time, it was about July and August last year, and after getting the approval of the Space Administration, Lu Zhou immediately contacted the Aviation Science Group, Huanong University, and the Institute of Technical Biology and Agricultural Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to start the design of this space planting unit.

Although the name of the whole device sounds very lofty, it is actually just an automated planting device, in order to save space, the culture medium is separated from the hardware, and it is designed into a foldable mode, which is not even a black technology.

However, even so, it is quite remarkable to be able to study and practice it in half a year, and make this thing with less than 10 million dollars. It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhou was so surprised.

"It's not too fast to build a plane compared to you, and it's been half a year since you calculated it seriously." Chen Yushan on the other end of the phone bent the corners of her mouth, held the mobile phone after changing, and continued, "According to your requirements, the planting unit adopts hydroponic technology, and after it is fully expanded and filled with culture medium, the planting area is exactly ten square meters, and the total weight is about 5 tons. With sufficient electricity, the stored nutrients can maintain the growing conditions of the first phase of the crop. ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "It's enough, what about the detailed technical parameters?" ”

"I've sent it to your mailbox, pay attention to check~"

"OK, I'll take a look."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou immediately returned to the office, walked to the desk and sat down, logged in to his mailbox through the computer, and soon saw the email.

After going through the email from beginning to end, the corners of Lu Zhou's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
