Lu Zhou usually doesn't have any special hobbies, and if you want to say that the only thing that can be called a hobby and enjoy it, I am afraid is to occasionally climb down the scarf and give a thumbs up to those who tell the truth.

For example, those who praise him for being handsome.

Coincidentally, in the past few days, I have climbed on the scarf and searched for news about Project Ares, and there are many good people who have done a lot of good things under the article that reprinted him.

Out of curiosity, Lu Zhou clicked in and read it through, and saw the article from beginning to end.

Seeing the end, he couldn't help but smile and said in amazement.

"This guy is a talent."

To be able to analyze the domestic academic environment so thoroughly, and to explain the technical details of the "raptor" engine in such detail, at least half of the industry insiders.

It's just that the tendencies of this article are too strong, and the thrust of the Black Xiangrui is not wrong, and he himself knows that the thrust of that thing can't even catch up with the long 5. But only mentioning the thrust, not the thrust-to-weight ratio, and not the endurance, that would be too much.

And it's not that the Americans don't want to engage in electric propulsion systems, but they can't do it to this extent, so why do they disdain to do it in the mouth of this person? PPPL labs have been working on it since before he left Princeton.

There is also the part that hacks him, which probably confuses the long 5 with the long 9. And even if the Xiangrui is successfully launched, it does not mean that the Chang-9 will not be carried out, and in the case of the relatively expensive cost of electric propulsion aerospace aircraft, it is still possible to use chemical rockets to solve space missions such as low-earth orbit satellite launches.

When the French invented the steam tricycle, it was not the same as sending mail by horse for more than a century, and the replacement of new and old technologies was not completed in a day or two.

This is also thanks to the fact that Xiangrui successfully sent the astronauts to the moon, if this manned landing on the moon is not completed, I am afraid that he will have to be beaten into a sinner for the ages.

Although I don't know what this person's academic attainments are, but with this rhythmic ability, there is no problem at all in changing careers to self-media.

had been silently observing the expression on Lu Zhou's face, and Wang Peng, who was expressionless, suddenly spoke.

"Need my help investigating?"

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head: "It's useful to investigate, can you still go along the network cable and fix him?" ”

Wang Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not in accordance with the rules to fix it...... However, defaming national heroes is still no problem with detaining them on the 15th. ”

With the weight of the Lingyun Medal and the Aerospace Meritorious Service Medal of the First Class, there is no doubt that it meets the standards of a national hero.

Looking at Wang Peng's serious look, Lu Zhouhan said: "No need, I'm just joking." It's too exaggerated not to say anything, not to mention that he didn't name him, if he likes to beep, let him beep. ”

Lu Zhou asked himself that he was still a relatively easy-going person, and he didn't particularly care about what others said.

If he couldn't even bear this little criticism, he would have played with the scarf for so long in vain.

Wang Peng looked at Lu Zhou with some incomprehension: "But...... That's it? ”

"My time is precious, but I don't have time to waste on this kind of person," Lu Zhou smiled, turned off the phone screen casually, and stood up from his chair, "It's almost time, I have a meeting later, let's go." ”

"Okay."

Wang Peng didn't say much, nodded his head, and walked neatly to the door.

……

Coming downstairs to the hotel, after Lu Zhou got into the car, he asked Wang Peng to send him to the Great Hall on Chang'an Road, and then leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

It was already early March.

Originally, he planned to return to Jinling after receiving the award, but he didn't expect to be dragged until now.

As for the reason, it's obvious.

The meeting was aimed at the Ares program in the United States.

Step into the staircase chamber next to the General Assembly Hall.

Lu Zhou, who entered from Entrance A, found a seat with his name tag in the first row, sat down, took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording.

The meeting was non-confidential, and many of the things discussed at the meeting would be made public after the meeting, so no communication equipment would be confiscated at the time of admission.

Lu Zhou sent a message to Xiao Ai and asked him to help sort out the meeting notes. In this way, you can save yourself a lot of time.

Just as Lu Zhou flipped through the minutes of the meeting on the table and waited for the meeting to start, an old man sat next to him, and after looking at him sideways several times, he pretended to be serious and cleared his throat and said in an unhurried voice.

"The Americans are planning to land on Mars, what do you think?"

Attracted by this voice, Lu Zhou turned his head to look, and now sitting next to him was Academician Yuan Huanmin, the chief engineer of Hangke Group.

Some time ago, at the manned moon landing conference in Harbin City, this old man made things difficult for him, and it was not until the successful test flight of the Xiangrui that he began to gradually become silent.

Unable to figure out what he meant, Lu Zhou thought for a while, then smiled and said.

"The Americans plan to land on Mars, what does it have to do with someone on my land?"

Yuan Huanmin was slightly stunned, then frowned and thought for a moment, and said as if talking to himself.

"You mean, let's ignore them and go our own way, right? I see, wonderful......"

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

What's that?

was interrupted by this old man, and before Lu Zhou could go through the minutes of the meeting, the meeting began.

Walking to the front of the stage, the secretary of the office of the Space Administration read out the meeting process and some matters about the discipline of the meeting, and then gave the microphone to Director Li, the leader of the Science and Industry Bureau.

Standing directly on the stage, Director Li cleared his throat and said with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry for taking time out of your busy schedule to sit here, this meeting was supposed to take place next month, but it had to be brought forward because of some things."

Although he didn't say what the specific reason was, everyone in the audience had a little bit of understanding on their faces.

NASA's high-profile announcement of the launch of the Ares program is now nominally not aimed at China, but whether it is the timing of the launch or the intensity of investment, it is obvious that it is referring to China's manned lunar landing project.

Although neither side has verbally acknowledged, and even cooperates in some areas, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this space race has entered a white heat.

"Yesterday, the central high-level meeting summed up two general directions. One is to follow in the footsteps of the Americans and start preparing for landing on Mars. The other is to continue to advance our lunar strategy and consolidate our moon landing results. ”

"As for the specific route to take, we have to consult the opinions of experts. I hope that everyone can speak freely, don't scruple about anything, even if you don't agree with these two development routes, or have any better ideas, you can put forward. ”

Director Li's words fell, and a whisper was heard in the staircase room.

In these two short sentences, the amount of information is not insignificant. It is no exaggeration to say that the outcome of today's meeting will determine China's national strategy for the next five or even 10 years, and the major aerospace enterprises and research units will also turn to "manned landing" or continue "lunar exploration" along with policy adjustments.

Therefore, the expressions on the faces of many people gradually became cautious and began to think seriously about this issue.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded from the front row of the conference room.

"I'll say a few words."

Looking at the old man sitting in the front row of the conference room, Director Li said politely.

"Academician Yuan, please speak."

Standing up slowly, Yuan Huanmin paused for a moment and said unhurriedly: "The Americans plan to land on Mars, that's their business." We don't have to mess around, we just need to do our job well. I believe that our future focus is still on the moon, and there is nothing more important at this stage than to consolidate the gains we have made on the manned landing on the moon. ”

Mr. Yuan is still very prestigious in the aerospace industry, and this sentence is also quite pertinent, and it was immediately approved by many people.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who have reservations, or are more supportive of following in the footsteps of the Americans, increasing efforts to develop Mars landing technology, and developing rockets with greater thrust.

It doesn't matter which route is more appropriate, it's just that they are working on rockets, not spacecraft or other extraterrestrial equipment.

After nodding his head and motioning for Mr. Yuan to sit down, Director Li set his eyes on Lu Zhou, who was also sitting in the first row and was flipping through the minutes of the meeting.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Lu Zhou have any intention of opening, and finally couldn't help but say.

"Please say something about Professor Lu."
