Mars.
Do mammoths burrow
However, at this moment, outside the mine with the sign of Shidel Mining Company, there was quite unusually a Mars rover painted in desert color parked.
Wu Shuhua was slightly stunned.
Having said this, Li Guangya paused for a moment and continued.
The man who seemed to have a slightly higher status frowned and said after thinking for a moment.
"We needed a mascot and he was just the right one."
Not to mention the diplomatic risks, national defense risks, and a series of troubles that this may bring.
According to weather forecasts, a sandstorm will soon sweep through the area.
Shrugging his shoulders, the slightly younger man said.
"Well, leave it to me."
"Because we are all here, we should be more cautious."
"The two things are actually not contradictory, it just depends on how you look at the issue."
Wu Shuhua frowned slightly.
Originally, this was his plan.
About five years ago, the "New Route" plan proposed by Pan-Asian Cooperation pushed the wave of this era of space navigation to its peak.
"Now that you have said so, I have nothing to refute. But in my opinion, I still tend to adopt a conservative strategy. Rather than letting this uncontrollable factor become a time bomb, it is better to start with It’s better not to take it into account.”
Looking at the letters with some scratch marks on the surface, the man's mouth twitched slightly.
Chairman Li Guangya smiled lightly and said: "If this joke can help our cause, I am willing to tell it with him. It doesn't hurt anyway."
In the conference room of the Pan-Asia Cooperation Headquarters, in the center of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, a round table is placed in the center of the room. There were only two people sitting at the conference table, one of whom was Secretary-General Wu Shuhua, and the other was the current Chairman Li Guangya.
"The instructions given to us above are to report the progress of the mission in real time and to report every detail in detail. It is obvious that they have their own opinions on the outcome of this matter."
"A conservative strategy? Haha, this is the most interesting thing I heard today. Think about it carefully. Is there any more radical strategy than a wild plan like a space elevator?" Li Guangya smiled and continued in a relaxed tone. Said, "Actually, you don't have to have such a big prejudice against the Sleeper. I took modern history as an elective in college, especially the part about him. I studied it the most deeply."
"A person who can hold up a torch in the dark must have a heart for the light. Regardless of whether his ideas are completely consistent with ours, at least I believe that our starting point is the same - I hope that the people living in this land, Can have a brighter future and a brighter future.”
She admitted that he had made many outstanding achievements in that era, but it was already the 22nd century, and a hundred years had passed since the era he was familiar with.
"You have to mean..."
However, if this project fails, the entire world will pay for the consequences of this reckless act...
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Chairman Li Guangya's expression did not change much. He continued in a relaxed tone, "If we continue to move forward along this clue, we may find that a machine that has been buried for billions of years can still survive." The sleeping capsule of the Martians that works normally may expose a big lie. Speaking of which, I am also very curious about the dormant capsule that has been left for billions of years and is still working normally, and Professor Lu who has been dead for a century and suddenly resurrected. Which do you think is more likely?"
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he saved the flight, she wouldn't even be interested in meeting him. After all, her current job is already enough of a headache.
Looking at Secretary-General Wu, Li Guangya smiled lightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Wait a moment."
As a valuable clue, he had a hunch that he could unearth something unusual from this "Mammoth Excavation Company".
Even if it is the strongest in the world.
"Fifty-five percent of delegates support our proposal for a space elevator, but there is still 45 percent opposition, including from our allies and even from within our alliance."
"Environment, safety risks, costs and benefits, and distribution of benefits...all in all are commonplace issues that have never been discussed."
"I don't want to argue with you about whether to reuse dormant people, and I don't want to interfere with the work of the household registration department... If you think it is useful, then you can handle it yourself."
As the world's largest regional alliance and economic union, the main function of the Secretary-General of Pan-Asian Cooperation is to coordinate relations among member states and to participate in world political activities on behalf of the Pan-Asian Cooperation collective. As for the functions of the Chairman, there are more Preferred to deal with internal affairs of Pan-Asian cooperation.
Earth.
A trace of confusion appeared on his face, and the man asked in confusion.
However, it was almost predictable.
Stopping, the man standing at the entrance of the cave turned around.
This proposal, which can almost be described as “shocking”, has encountered considerable resistance since it was proposed.
Perhaps it is an astronomical figure to ordinary people, but in the face of the scale of pan-Asian cooperation, it is not worth discussing at all.
Just like those old antiques who were sent to the future in the name of "reinforcing the future" but could not find a position they were qualified for in this era and could not solve any future problems, she did not think that an academic from the 21st century A world leader who can bring any real benefits to Pan-Asian cooperation other than "symbolic significance".
Sitting across the conference table, Wu Shuhua, the Secretary-General of Pan-Asian Cooperation, looked a little tired, and continued speaking with her index finger on the center of her eyebrows.
…
As for things like wealth or not...
As the gravel gradually shook off, a silver-white metal strip about the size of a chewing gum piece lay on the palm of his hand.
"In that case, we just have to give them what they want."
As a crucial part of the plan, the proposal to build a space elevator on the equator was naturally submitted to the United Nations conference hall by representatives of Pan-Asian cooperation for discussion by various regional alliances.
However, this is obviously not the point.
"As for whether to continue the investigation, let them make a decision."
"Oxygen bottles, compacted tire tracks, and scratch marks... the travel time is initially estimated to be within a month." Through the customization function of the reality augmentation system, the scene a month ago was restored, and the slightly squatting figure on the ground was restored. The young man stood up, looked at the person behind him and said, "They should have entered through here... Captain Liu, what do you think?"
Seeing the tired expression on Secretary-General Wu's face, Li Guangya smiled lightly and said in a relaxed tone.
In this harsh and dangerous weather, even criminals hiding in the desert wilderness will choose to squat at home and wait for the weather to improve before going out to wander around.
After putting away the metal bars, he was about to explore the mine, but at this moment, a voice from the communication channel stopped him.
Looking at the bottomless mine, Captain Liu, who was standing next to the Mars rover, narrowed his eyes slightly and continued.
"If that's the case, we just have to do what we have to do."
"Where are their demands?"
Two men in spacesuits stood near the entrance of the cave, holding professional equipment in their hands, as if they were investigating something.
“None of the three meetings was good news.”
Wu Shuhua was silent for a while, and her shoulders relaxed slightly.
Li Guangya said simply, "At that time, we can just keep digging. Anyway, the ruins are there, and we can keep digging at any time. We can make it true, or we can make it false."
Time is always more ruthless than anything.
There are only three ideal construction locations, one is on the African continent, the other is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and the vast high seas of the Pacific Ocean.
The resistance comes not only from other regional alliances, but also from non-governmental environmental organizations and even voices within Pan-Asian Cooperation.
"A stowaway from Mars successfully deceived everyone. This will become the biggest joke of this century."
"My opinion is basically the same as yours. The only doubt is that they seem a bit amateurish."
Li Guangya nodded slightly.
In the rift valley near the Gate of Hell, the sky is already filled with oppressive haze.
Moreover, from a practical point of view, 36,000 kilometers of highways hang directly from the synchronous orbit. This is not a project that can be completed by a regional alliance alone.
“…Mammoth Excavating Company?”
Wu Shuhua raised her eyebrows: "So, Professor Lu is probably true?"
"But... we are already here, are you sure you don't want to go in and take a look?"
"Then let's talk about something happy. I just received a call from the Security Bureau. Our agents deployed in Tiangong City discovered the entrance to a mine left by the Hidel Mining Company next to the Hell's Gate Mountains. Signs of rover activity were found. According to scene reconstruction analysis, an archaeological excavation team went there within about two weeks to a month, and it was probably the team led by Professor Leonard."
According to the voting results of representatives of the member states within the Pan-Asian Cooperation, the Pan-Asian Cooperation will create a "new space industry" production system in the solar system from the Earth-Moon system to the Kuiper Belt within a hundred years, as well as a production system surrounding this production system. The routes established by the system are intended to spread the fire of civilization to more distant places.
Regardless of whether Academician Lu is still alive or not, that was a matter of the last century.
Although Pan-Asian Cooperation has also considered the idea of building this space elevator independently, bypassing other regional alliances, but unfortunately, although Pan-Asian Cooperation owns land on the equator, all of it is in the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone. , and is accompanied by strong monsoon activity.
"People need confidence. Whether our plan can pass does not depend on the space elevator itself. The key lies in whether we can convince people that it is safe, reliable and can bring us a bright future."
Captain Liu glanced at the sky and said in a deep voice.
"I don't see what's worth discussing... I'm more concerned about whether the space elevator proposal can be passed smoothly than whether a person who has been dead for a hundred years is still alive. The development of Europa and Titan needs We open the corridor from the ground to outer space, and if we cannot do that, let alone move towards more distant worlds, we may still be arguing with our compatriots on Mars over trivial matters in the next century.”
"I believe this journey may be full of twists and turns, but he will definitely make the right choice."
In order to achieve this strategic goal, Pan-Asian cooperation not only formulated a colonization and development plan for "Europa" and "Titan", but also dispatched a powerful First Fleet to clear out the sky pirates in the asteroid belt.
Wu Shuhua didn't say anything, just sighed.
Looking at the disappearing holographic image across the conference table, Chairman Li Guangya nodded slightly.
After all, opening a hole in the ozone layer and inserting a pipe into a geostationary orbit is not something you can just pat your head on. If this project succeeds, it will be great and all mankind will benefit from it.
"It's 50/50, like Schrödinger's cat."
"How is the situation at the United Nations? Is there any new progress?"
"There are obvious loopholes in your plan," Wu Shuhua questioned. "What if he opposes us? Assuming he is true, it was from a hundred years ago after all. Even if we are on the same road, we cannot protect our ideas. Completely consistent. It’s not like things like this have never happened before, and they almost destroyed the results we have achieved in the past half century!”
Otherwise, this "stupid plan" would not have been stopped in the 1970s.
"It's quite amateurish... Otherwise, they wouldn't have left this kind of thing at the scene."
"What's the meaning?"
As he spoke, he spread his right hand.
"The physical evidence is almost collected, let's stop here today."
