It has been 24 hours since the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee announced its response plan.

It was also almost the first time to confirm the announcement of the plan by the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, and countries around the world attached great importance to it.

An emergency meeting of the United Nations was held in New York, attended by representatives of various countries, high-level dignitaries and authoritative experts in the field of relevant research.

Before the meeting began, Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson stood up from the table and read out the text of his statement in a solemn voice as the opening remarks of the entire meeting.

“…… We have known very little about life beyond Earth, and we have enough evidence to prove that we are not the only lucky ones in the galaxy, but the signals we have sent to the outside world, and the probes we have sent have never really found any trace of life. ”

"And now that things have taken a turn for the better, from what happened to the three colonists of Project Ares, we can at least know that we are not alone, at least in the solar system."

However, the first intimate encounter is not always wonderful, and I am sure that all of you here have also discussed this issue with experts who are engaged in research in related fields in their respective countries. Strains from Mars have tenacious vitality and can survive even in thin atmospheres, temperatures up to 100 degrees between day and night, and irradiation without magnetic field protection. ”

"It is foreseeable that their arrival will have an unpredictable impact on the environment on which we live."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I stress once again that this is a global crisis! Solving this problem should not be the responsibility of any one country, but the responsibility of all mankind! ”

"Thank you."

There was applause in the venue.

Nodding to a round of applause, Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson slowly returned to his seat.

With the end of the opening remarks, the emergency meeting of the United Nations officially began.

At the conference table, the representatives of all parties put forward their own demands from their own standpoint, as well as their own opinions on how to deal with the crisis.

For example, the U.S. proposal is to create a completely enclosed resettlement area in the Sonora Desert, where astronauts can be housed to study and treat their physical conditions.

It was also suggested that they should be consulted if they would be willing to make sacrifices for the future of humanity, also known as euthanasia, although it may be due to concerns about the impact and the fact that two of the astronauts are Americans, so the words are not as straightforward, but it is indeed a time-saving and labor-saving method.

After all, if a person dies, all the problems are solved, and the remaining bacterial samples are made into specimens and studied slowly.

However, everyone knows in their hearts that this is impossible.

In addition to the views of the US side, the opinions of the Chinese representatives attracted the most attention during the whole meeting.

After all, people are still staying on the Moon Palace, but what decision the United Nations makes will depend on whether Hua Guo nods or not.

Facing a pair of eyes, the representative of the Chinese side stood up and spoke slowly in a steady but serious tone.

"Our position is consistent."

"From the perspective of the overall interests of the international community, we will not risk allowing the three astronauts to return to Earth until we have confirmed that this strain does not pose a threat to the earth's ecological environment."

"We propose that we build a research facility on the surface of the moon to ensure the safety of the lives of the three astronauts, as announced by the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee, and seek solutions."

"How do you keep the three colonists safe?" Interrupting the speech of the Chinese representative, the American representative stood up and said aggressively, "Long-term exposure to low gravity will have an unpredictable impact on human life and health!" Are you ignoring the human rights of patients when considering this issue? ”

In the face of the attack of the US representative, the Chinese representative unceremoniously asked, "Then may I ask you, did you consider the human rights of the three colonists before sending them to Mars?" ”

A whisper rang out in the room.

The words full of stomach were blocked in his throat, and the US representative opened his mouth, but he could not say a word.

Truly......

In this matter, they really did not complain about the way China handled the problem.

If they had thought about these things in advance, instead of hastily launching the BFS spacecraft to Mars, it would not have caused so much trouble.

After taking a deep look at the deflated US representative, and while his heart was secretly refreshed, the Chinese representative continued in an unchanged tone, "What's more, all these concerns you raised can be solved with technology. ”

"In order to ensure that facilities are adequately funded, we welcome countries that can contribute to the common good of our humanity. At the same time, we also welcome scholars from all over the world to participate in the study of life on Mars! ”

After some intense discussions, the United Nations finally adopted the Chinese solution.

After all, now the initiative is in the hands of the Chinese side.

Even if the UN makes other decisions, China, as a permanent member, can refuse to implement UN resolutions on the grounds that it is "in the interests of the international community as a whole".

What's more, judging from the voting situation, the vast majority of countries still agree to hand over this matter to China.

On the one hand, it is out of trust in China's aerospace technology, and on the other hand, it is indeed because of what happened some time ago that it has accumulated a lot of prestige for China......

With the end of the debate on the solution, the second half of the meeting largely revolved around research funding, the number of researchers to be accredited by each country, the rights to research institutions, and how to guarantee those rights.

The meeting lasted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

After the end of the emergency session.

After a brief meeting with NASA Administrator Carson, ESA Director Owens left the United Nations building and walked briskly towards the parking lot.

Immediately following him, Deputy Director Ferrian suddenly spoke.

"Sir."

Without stopping, Owens replied casually, "What's wrong?" ”

After a moment's hesitation, Ferrian continued: "1.2 billion euros...... Do you think it's worth it? ”

"There is no question of whether it is worth it or not, in a broad sense, this is a crisis that needs to be addressed by the international community, and from a practical point of view," Owens paused for a moment and continued slowly, "whether it is to take a ride on the Chinese to explore the moon or to participate in the study of life on Mars, it is quite a meaningful thing." ”

"In comparison, 1.2 billion euros is too good a deal."

……

At the same time as the curtain came down on the emergency meeting of the United Nations, it was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away on the Moon Palace.

In the living cabin prepared for the three colonists of Project Ares, Zhao Shuxuan was routinely checking and recording their physical conditions.

The blood draw was completed very cooperatively, and the black guy sat on the edge of the bed and moved his somewhat sore wrist that had been strangled by the weightless environment blood collector, and the Hua Guo doctor standing in front of him...... Or rather, the researcher accosted.

"Hey, what's going on with us? Can you at least tell us a little bit...... Did you find anything in us? We have the right to know the truth. ”

Filling out the form in his hand with an expressionless face, Zhao Shuxuan said in a tone that did not fluctuate.

"You're in good health, don't think too much. There are just some unstable elements that we need a little time to confirm, and I promise that when it's all over, you can go home. ”

With a helpless expression on his face, Tevi compromised and said, "Okay...... Can I get internet access on my computer? You shouldn't be able to connect to the Internet here, right? ”

"The communication tariff here is very expensive, I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements, but the game console you want will probably be delivered in a few days," Zhao Shuxuan turned the page of the form in his hand, Zhao Shuxuan put the topic back to the topic, and continued to ask, "How do you feel about your body?" ”

Tevi: "Everything is fine, good couldn't be better. Honestly, are you all mistaken? Being in a weightless environment for a long time made me feel very uncomfortable, and I felt like my muscles were atrophying. ”

Zhao Shuxuan: "That's your delusion, your skeletal and muscular condition is very healthy. In addition, there is a special service module on the Moon Palace to provide the earth's gravity environment simulation service, if you feel unwell, you can go up and stay for a while, or take a bath or something. ”

After a pause, he continued.

“…… By the way, how long did you sleep today? ”

Tai Wei thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "Eight hours, normal sleep, anyway, there is nothing else to do here except sleep, right?" ”

"8 hours...... Is it? After making a note in the notebook, Zhao Shuxuan glanced at the record on it and frowned, "Does your body feel any discomfort?" ”

"I said, my body couldn't be better, except for being in space for too long," Tevi yawned as he got up from his bed, "The check is over, right?" Then stop bothering me. I'm going to get some coffee, life here is so boring. ”

Zhao Shuxuan: "Coffee is available in unlimited quantities in the service cabin, although the variety is limited...... By the way, are you sleepy? Since when? ”

"It's always been a little bit," Tevi waved his hand, "after all, life in outer space is so boring that you can't even find a bar, let alone go to jail to stay here." ”

With that, he passed by the Huaguo researcher and floated to the hatch.

It's just that when he left the living cabin, he didn't notice that Researcher Zhao Shuxuan, who was standing behind and staring at his back, had his brows tightly locked......

It seems that his guess was correct.

These little life forms from Mars are indeed not that simple......

(Thank you for your concern, I feel that I have recovered a little, and at this stage I am discharged from the hospital for self-observation.) The doctor advised me to take more rest, take a break from the gym, pay attention to the weather changes to keep warm, and seek medical attention in time if there is a new situation, etc., and everything else is not a big problem. Those children's shoes who say that I have a terminal illness, I'll just make fun of you.

Oh, who wants me to love you? ）
