"... Hua Guo spends tens of billions of dollars every year on this big project, and led by the most talented scientist Lu Qiujian in the new century, this will undoubtedly disrupt the present Some space competition patterns, I want to know how those politicians in the White House will respond? "On the TV screen, the CNN host pointed to the lunar base renderings displayed by Lu Qiujian at the press conference.

President Bush picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. He crossed his hands across his chest and looked around the staff in the conference room. "How do you guys think about this press conference in China?"

The number of people attending the meeting today is much more than last time, except for the old acquaintances who participated in the last meeting, including John Marburg, the President of the United States and the White House Science and Technology Policy Office Director John Marburg, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. This time, the addition of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the newly appointed Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States, the current NASA Director Michael Douglas Griffin, and the same new appointment The soon-to-be NASA chief scientist Varid-Abdradi, as well as Wendell Mendel, a scientist who once served as the head of the Houston Space Center and proposed the American lunar base program.

The position of chief scientist of NASA has been vacant for a long time since 2005. It was only after Lu Qiujian proposed a space exploration plan in his speech at the University of Tokyo and received a positive response from the Chinese government that NASA felt the crisis and went through a series of procedures; Reed-Abudradi, the remote sensing expert who led the cryosphere science division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, became the new owner of this position.

"Professor Marburg, Mr. Mendel, Director Griffin and Dr. Abu Dadi, I want to know how feasible this plan of China is? Will this be the smoke bomb released by the Chinese government? ? Just like we used the Star Wars plan to bring down the Red Empire, want us to invest a lot of money in the space race, thereby weakening the influence of the United States in other fields? "Condoleezza Rice First This question asked the most important point of the small bush, "On this issue, you are experts, I want to hear your opinions!"

The president's science and technology consultant Marburg was depressed. At first, he thought that even if Lu Qiujian returned to China, he would only continue to devote himself to basic research. Unexpectedly, he has now become the host of Xihe Project, and looks He did quite well some time ago, and those few games between artificial intelligence and professional chess players proved the problem.

The White House ’s trust in him has been weakened a lot. If it were not what he was at the time, the United States would definitely increase his efforts to attract him and create various obstacles to his return to China. The person in charge of the national space exploration program; relative to the distant future of the basic field, the United States is more concerned with the current application breakthrough; they do not want Lu Qiujian to have a Qian Xuesen-style character.

According to the blueprint he portrayed at the press conference, if he can really help the Chinese government achieve all this, then his power can be much greater than the sum of the five big red teachers.

President Bush and Admiral Gates and Mullen also set their sights on those who were named by Rice. They also wanted to know the answer to this question.

"I think from the current technical point of view, it is very difficult for China to achieve this goal!" Mendel, who had the most say on this issue, spoke first, he shrugged and said, "We proposed it seventeen years ago. A trilogy plan to conquer space: building the Space Station Freedom, establishing a lunar base, and manned landing on Mars. Now that seventeen years have passed, we have only completed the first mission, and the last two are still very far away! "

"It's true that since the fall of the Red Empire, we have cut the budget of the space exploration program, but more importantly, the current level of human science and technology can't meet the needs of establishing a lunar base!" Fly fast, thinking about how to use this incident to get more money for his Mendel plan, so when it comes to this, the words have changed sharply, "But the style of the Chinese government has always been pragmatic, and their aerospace technology also has its own advantages. Coupled with the leadership of Professor Lu Qiujian, a talented scientist, maybe they really have the possibility to realize the plan! I think that any Nobel Prize winner will regard his reputation as extremely important. If he is not sure, he should not Will come up with this plan! "

In consideration of his own interests, Mendel praised Lv Qiujian, which made Marburg's dark face even worse when he moved in.

"I remember Mr. Mendel ’s budget at the time was 100 billion US dollars. I know how Hua Guoxi and the planned budget are allocated. If they put the vast majority of the budget into the moon base plan ~ www.wuxiaspot. com ~ So maybe they can really do a miracle! "Director Griffin holds the same thoughts as Mendel," The Apollo plan at that time also seemed like an impossible task, but we have made a huge effort The amount of money is still done! As long as there is sufficient budget investment, nothing in science is impossible! "

"The government of the United States gives you a budget of tens of billions of dollars every year! Last year, you submitted a budget of 16.25 billion dollars, and next year it will only be more than this figure! At the latest exchange rate, the funds you receive are more There are more plans and plans! Why ca n’t you do what they hope to do? ”As soon as he heard that he wanted money, President Bush could not help but start talking.

Facing the challenge of President Bush, Griffin, a highly-intelligent businessman with multiple degrees in physics, doctorate in aerospace engineering, master of electrical engineering, master of business administration, master of engineering, etc., was very calm. With this insignificant budget, there are too many research tasks undertaken by NASA. The space laboratory plan, unmanned aerial vehicle plan, international space station plan, constellation plan ... the problems we encountered in the research are getting more and more There is more money, but the funding is never enough; if the US Congress can increase the funds for Xi and the plan, we are absolutely confident that the establishment of the moon base will be completed before China! "

Want to let us win Hua Guo, no problem, just come over with money! This is what Griffin wants to express. As for whether the money can be achieved after the money is really handed, that is another question! (To be continued.)
