Scholar's Advanced Technological System Chapter 1337 - Proposal at the Same Time!

Chapter 1337: Proposal at the Same Time!

The Lagrange s.p.a.ce Base and the Mars Scientific Research Station project were established at the same time!

Not just that, but the meeting also put forward a series of work schedules including the “completion of manned boarding of the Lagrange point”, the “Lagrange construction environment inspection”, and so on.

From these tight schedules, it was obvious that the whole plan was not a disguise or a smoke bomb. China really planned to do these aeros.p.a.ce projects.

For the aeros.p.a.ce industry, this was probably the most exciting news in years!

The afternoon after the meeting.

The design office at the Beijing Aeros.p.a.ce Science and Technology Inst.i.tute.

“Have you guys heard?”

“Heard what?”

“Our country plans to build a permanent s.p.a.ce station on the Lagrange point!”

“The Lagrange point s.p.a.ce station? You mean Academician Lu’s blueprint?”

“What else could it be? Academician Lu is nuts! I heard that this morning there was a meeting on Chang’an Avenue. The president hosted the meeting and showed the concept map of the s.p.a.ce station using a holographic projection device. All of the partic.i.p.ants were shocked. The final vote was an overwhelming victory, and the two projects were launched immediately!”

One of the engineers spoke.

“Really? What does the concept map look like?”

“I don’t know! I just listened to what others said, but since the news has already come out, it’s not something that needs to be kept secret. We should have a chance to see the concept map in a few days!”

In fact, this time China did not intend to keep this a secret.

Since the successful establishment of the Moon Palace s.p.a.ce station, China already marked its dominant position in the aeros.p.a.ce field. There was no need to hide any new things like before.

Regardless of whether it was the Lagrange Point s.p.a.ce Base or the Mars Scientific Research Station, even if the relevant departments released the blueprints publicly, other countries wouldn’t be able to use the blueprints to copy the project.

This didn’t only require industrial capabilities but also took into account the scale of a country’s aeros.p.a.ce industry.

So far only China, which had more than ten large-scale transportation s.p.a.cecraft and successfully developed the profitability of lunar mineral resources, had the conditions to complete this grand plan.

Because this was not a confidential project, the results of the discussion at the meeting quickly spread to various aeros.p.a.ce research inst.i.tutes in Beijing at an incredible speed.

The second day after the conference ended, all of the scholars in the Chinese aeros.p.a.ce industry heard about this news.

On the other hand, relevant departments also held a press conference afterward. They announced the result to media outlets all over the world.

The second the news was announced publicly, people all over the world were shocked!

NASA headquarters.

It was lunchtime; most of the engineers sitting in the office were eating sandwiches and drinking coffee while watching videos on YouTube.

A piece of news from CNN caught their attention. Everyone was stunned. They froze for a while before snapping back to reality.

The Chinese plan to build a s.p.a.ce station base at the Lagrange point?

And a Mars Scientific Research Station?

Forget about it! They have never even been to Mars! What kind of scientific research station on Mars are they going to build?!

And the Lagrange point s.p.a.ce station base…

That is something that only appears in science fiction movies. With the current materials science and engineering technology, it is impossible.

Because of the small scale of Earth’s aeros.p.a.ce industry, they couldn’t understand what was the point of building a s.p.a.ce station there, whether it was for commercial or scientific research needs.

They’re building a s.p.a.ce station to look at stars?

The first reaction of many people was that this was fake news.

Some people even sneered and said that the “media lies are getting more and more ridiculous”.

After all, this was CNN news.

However, they soon discovered that it was not just CNN that reported the news.

After a brief silence, the office immediately exploded.

“WTF?! The Chinese plans to build a permanent s.p.a.ce station at the Lagrange point?!

“A Mars scientific research station?! Sending people to Mars? Are they crazy?

“They just set up the Guanghan Special Economic Zone, and now they want to take over Mars?!

“And they’re tackling Mars and Lagrange point at the same time…

“There are only five Lagrange points, and only two are stable! We must report this to Congress immediately! Let them realize the seriousness of the problem!”

The office that was originally silent like a pond of water suddenly began boiling…

…

Los Angeles Daily: Lagrange s.p.a.ce Base project is established!

New York Times: The map to the Mars scientific research station is announced! China will launch a manned boarding program!

The Times: A war book against NASA? Or a challenge for the future! A blueprint shows the ambition of China’s s.p.a.ce strategy!

The Sun: NASA director declined to comment. a.n.a.lysts say that this time NASA might not accept the reality!

Beijing Evening News: …

The explosive articles were released one after another. This replaced the Century of Physics and the Problems of the Century discussions that appeared some time ago. This was a new hot topic that people discussed and followed.

When they saw the concept map of the Lagrange s.p.a.ce Base in the news, many people remembered the s.p.a.ce fortress that appeared in the center of the Bird’s Nest Stadium during the National Day celebration last year!

The towering s.p.a.ce fortress floating in the holographic image was a manifestation of people’s imagination for the future.

And now, all this was becoming a reality!

As the chief consultant and chief engineer of the Lunar Orbit Committee, Lu Zhou was certainly involved in this important news.

In fact, about five minutes after the meeting ended, Director Li called him and told him the exciting good news himself.

Director Li excitedly talked about the overwhelming number of votes in favor.

In contrast, Lu Zhou was relatively calm. The only thing he worried about was whether the old man’s heart could bear the exciting news.

As for the Lagrange Point s.p.a.ce Base and the Mars Scientific Research Station projects, he had never worried about them at all.

As for why?

One of the biggest reasons was because, in his opinion, these projects were bound to be completed one day.

After talking with the president in Shanghai that day, he already knew this in his heart.

Even if the relevant departments temporarily decided that they didn’t have the capacity for long-term future projects, they would definitely be able to see the driving effect of these two projects on the overall aeros.p.a.ce industry of China.

The Guanghan Special Economic Zone was now on the right track. If China wanted to continue to lead the s.p.a.ce industry in the next century, they must implement a long-term goal.

The Lagrange s.p.a.ce Base and the Mars colonization plan were undoubtedly suitable choices.

As for why he wasn’t busy working on the project…

Was because that, ever since accepting the system mission, Lu Zhou had been busy with the “s.p.a.ce Component A”. He had no spare time for other things…
