Building a community with a shared future for mankind is the sublimation of the concept of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, and it is also one of the principles and theories of governance put forward by Chinese representatives at the United Nations General Assembly in the past 15 years.

China does not have the ambition to achieve world hegemony, and the general concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is more in line with China's interests.

Of course, these things don't need Lu Zhou to worry about.

As an academic, he only needs to focus on his research.

Having said that, from the standpoint of a scholar, he is certainly glad to see that his home country is integrating into the big family of the international community and is influencing this big family with his own unique voice......

The meeting lasted a total of an hour, and the two talked for a long time and talked about a lot of things.

Owens was amazed by Lu Zhou's vision of the future moon village, and Lu Zhou was also deeply interested in some of Owens' ideas for space resource development and business models.

Technology can provide human beings with tools to transform and use nature, but how to better use this tool is also a big science.

“…… The Living-Planet Symposium is held in Prague, Czech Republic, and if you have time, we cordially invite you to visit us. ”

"If I have time, I'll definitely think about it."

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded, but did not give a clear answer.

Owens didn't urge, ended the topic with a slight smile, and shook hands with Lu Zhou to say goodbye.

……

The day after Lu Zhou and Owens concluded their meeting, the news that China and the European Union had reached a consensus on the issue of lunar resource development swept the Internet.

Among them, led by "Renren Daily", released a concept map of the moon village on the headline.

At the same time, Xinhua News also published in its latest issue the specific topics discussed by the representatives of the Chinese side and the European Union on the development and exploration of lunar resources.

One of the most striking and unbelievable is that the European Union has recognized the bill signed by China and early last year to protect the interests of its own companies in the development of lunar resources.

This bill caused a lot of controversy at the time, and was once criticized by the Western media as the East India Company Act of the new era.

If it weren't for the fact that Western countries were asking China for the issue of controlled nuclear fusion, they all kept silent, otherwise the voices of these controversies alone might be enough for China's headaches......

Now the European Union has actually recognized this bill and said that countries should compete fairly and cooperate for mutual benefit in the development of lunar resources, which undoubtedly makes many people fall out of their eyes.

Americans, in particular, are incredulous about the "betrayal" of Europe, especially the phrase "the era of space 4.0 is the era of the Moon Palace", which has aroused a considerable degree of discussion.

Although Director Owens has put it mildly, it is clear that not everyone is buying his explanation.

At a time when Project Ares is heading towards the finish line of victory, there are people who doubt the status of Project Ares?

Are all Europeans blind?

However, although the grass on the wall of Europe seems to be wavering to the side of China, the United States has no time to take care of this matter at this time.

While NASA and ESA were at an eye-to-eye, New Virginia was in huge trouble because of the sandstorm that swept across Mars.

Even the "Mars Diary" festival that Lu Zhou is chasing has been stopped because of this.

However, Space-X did not blame the dust storm for the shutdown of "The Mars Diary", but instead reasoned that communication was too expensive and limited resources needed to be used for scientific research.

After Space announced the news on its official website, it immediately caused a lot of disappointment.

The show just entered the exciting part and came to an abrupt end, which is really unfriendly to those who are following the show.

However, most people also expressed understanding.

After all, compared to public entertainment, it is still the task of scientific research that is more important.

Standing in front of the cameras of the media, Musk expressed his apologies to the audience who were looking forward to the "Mars Diary" program in a regretful voice.

"Unfortunately, this sandstorm is likely to last for a long time, and we won't be able to bring the interesting lives of the colonists on Mars to life in real time. But I assure you that they are all right now. The density of the atmosphere on Mars is only 1% of that of Earth, and even if this dust storm blows a little harder, it will not be able to help them! ”

"In addition, I will announce an even more exciting thing at this moment."

"The new BFR rocket is about to depart, and this time we will send an experimental unit weighing 16 tons to Mars!"

"If you have anything you would like to bring to our colonists, please write it and send it to us! We'll take 100 of these letters and send them to Mars with our lab equipment, and our New Virginia residents will read them on Columbia Television! ”

The media reporters surrounding the neighborhood were suddenly in an excited uproar, and they all stepped forward and handed out the microphone in their hands.

A letter to Mars!

That sounds so exciting!

This guy is a genius who can create topics more than journalists like them!

It's just that Johnson, who is tens of millions of kilometers away and is getting farther and farther away, never dreamed that the predicament they encountered on Mars would be hidden......

As reserves of resources such as oxygen and methane continue to decline, the colony's situation is becoming more and more precarious.

Of course, the U.S. authorities have not done nothing, and NASA has held several seminars in a row to discuss the rescue operation in New Virginia.

At present, there are two options in front of Director Carson, one is to send a new BFR rocket to Mars to send supplies that can help the colonists tide over the difficulties, and the other is to find a way to get the colonists back on the BFS spacecraft sailing in orbit around Mars, where there is enough energy and the environmental control and health protection system can operate for a long time.

However, in the current situation, either option seems unrealistic.

The relative distance between Mars and Earth is shrinking, the best launch window to Mars is closing, and even if they still have a working BFR rocket, they are willing to pay more fuel costs for it, and it will be half a year before they arrive on Mars.

And judging by the situation in New Virginia, it can only last for two months at most.

Praying for this sandstorm to stop may be a more realistic option......

At the same time, far away on the other side of the world, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, placed in the lower right corner of the computer in front of Lu Zhou, suddenly popped out a string of bubbles.

Xiao Ai: [Master, the number 0021 file has been successfully decrypted!] (•̀∀•́)】

Lu Zhou, who was brushing the paper, stopped the wheel pressed on his index finger, looked at the pop-up window in the lower right corner, and spoke.

"Send me the desktop."

Xiao Ai: [Yes, master~(๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧]

In less than half a second, a shortcut to a folder is displayed on the desktop.

Lu Zhou double-clicked to open the folder, selected the first document in it and took a cursory glance, and before he could look at the contents, three eye-catching characters came into his eyes.

Eyebrows raised slightly, and Lu Zhou couldn't help but read it out.

“SOS……？”

International distress signals?

Things seem to be getting more and more interesting......
