Global sandstorm?

After hearing the words of the waiting light, Lu Zhou subconsciously looked towards the calendar of the table corner, confirming that this year’s year is 2021.

After paying attention to Lu Zhou’s movements, Hou Guang probably guessed what he was thinking, so he said.

“I know that you are surprised… In fact, the astronomical observers at the Luzhou Radio Observatory are also very surprised. It is reasonable to say that a global dust storm will occur on Mars for five to six years.”

When you say this, the tone of Houguang is a bit complicated.

Although it is a good thing for the opponents to have trouble, just as NASA does not want to see their bad luck so badly, if the Ares plan is so bankrupt, it is not in their interest.

After listening to his report, Lu Zhou pondered for a while and said.

“Is the reason clear?”

Waiting for the light, then said with a bitter smile.

“How is this clear…”

The climate change on the surface of Mars has been very metaphysical. Due to the thin atmosphere and serious desertification, there are basically no reliable observation methods to accurately predict its climate change.

One can only infer from the more experience that summer is a frequent occurrence of sandstorms, global dust storms are five to six years, duration may reach several months or even a whole year, and lightning is generated by the collision of grit.

To make an accurate prediction of Mars’ climate change, you must at least throw a few meteorological satellites into Mars’ near-Earth orbit.

Lu Zhou: “What impact will it have on the colonists on Mars if it encounters a global sandstorm?”

Houguang: “In general, sandstorms mainly affect the normal operation of solar power generation equipment, but the new Virginia colony should be equipped with spare power supply equipment. The problem should be small… Of course, the specific situation is not good, only NASA knows what is going on above.”

The life support unit basically embodies the most advanced technology of many aerospace companies such as Space-X and blue origin. Although Ares plans to start quite rushed, if Musk has been preparing for colonial Mars for ten years, he It is impossible for a technician to fail to take into account the situation of sandstorms.

It is not even excluded that they have already previewed a similar situation on Earth.

Of course, these are just Lu Zhou’s own speculations.

As Houguang said, what is specific, and only the talents on Mars are clear.

Lu Zhou nodded, agreeing with his words, pondered for a while and continued to speak.

“Let the Yinzhou Radio Astronomy Observatory continue to pay attention to Mars… Others, look at NASA and say it.”

At present, his work is still on the moon, and he can only say that he is paying attention to the situation on Mars. If you can see through this dust storm what step the Americans have taken on Mars colonization technology, it is a good thing for him.

After reporting this matter, Hou Guang left the office and took the office door.

Looking at the closed door, Lu Zhou thought of the afternoon meeting with the Director of the European Space Agency and was preparing to stand up and prepare.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of what it was like to stop, thinking about it for a few seconds and said to the closed computer.

“Xiao AI, adjust the file decryption order, first crack the latest number communication file!”

The signal light flashed and it was a response to him.

Lu Zhou nodded, got up and walked outside the office.

……

As the controllable fusion negotiations have entered the final stage, the relationship between China and the World countries is at the honeymoon stage. Both the cooperation in the economic field and the cooperation in the science and technology have reached a fairly close level.

And China’s accession to the International Space Station program, the EU and China reached a cooperation agreement on the cooperation of the Moon Palace space station, which is the best proof.

In the command tower of the Nanjing Space Launch Center, Lu Zhou met with ESA Director Owens Mister.

After he finished his meeting in Beijing, he made a special trip to arrange his visit to the trip with China from the EU delegation. One of the main reasons is to see Lu Zhou, who leads the Chinese aerospace industry. The chief designer of the lunar orbital construction committee of NASA, the legendary big scientist…

“Hello, Lu Professor, nice to meet you!”

As soon as he met, Owens, who looked tall and thin, took Lu Zhou’s hand warmly and shook it. For the smiling Owens mister, Lu Zhou also responded with a polite but enthusiasm smile, said.

“I am also very happy to meet you, Owens mister! Please sit down.”

Behind Owens are officials from the Office of the Secretary of the European Space Agency, as well as journalists from major media organizations in Europe and China.

The meeting is open and the two sides will exchange views on specific cooperation programs, and at the same time release a signal to the international community.

That is to say, the negotiations between the Chinese and EU countries on the moon issue have made good progress.

During the meeting, the director of Owens sitting on the opposite sofa explained his point of view in a funny tone.

“If I divide the history of human exploration of space in the past, I think it can be divided into three stages.”

Lu Zhou smiled and asked: “Which are the three?”

Owens Laughed continued: “In the 1.0 phase of space, humans mainly studied astronomy and astrology, and religious and cultural factors accounted for a large proportion. In the 2.0 phase of space, we entered space and embarked on the moon. Entering the ‘Apollo’ era, while in the 3.0 phase of space, space has become another dimension of human development, commercial launching forces have become more frequent, and our civilization has entered the era of the ‘International Space Station’.

Lu Zhou smiled and asked: “It sounds very interesting. What do you think is the space 4.0 era?”

After Owens thought for a moment, said with a faint smile.

“I think the space 4.0 era is the lunar era and the moon palace era.”

“Oh?” Lu Zhou laughed, jokingly, “Why not the Ares era?”

Director Owens shook his head with a smile.

“Mars is too far away. It takes a few months to get back and forth. At present, Europe is not able to participate. Maybe the next era is the Ares era, but at present we are more optimistic about the moon.”

When I heard this, Lu Zhou couldn’t help feeling.

This is really not one drop of water can leak out.

That is to blame them, but not the face of the Americans, not to be optimistic about the Ares plan, but their own strength is not enough, but also participate in not.

Is this guy really a German written on the material?

Lu Zhou always feels a little different from a few German friends she knows…

Did not stop, Owens slightly laughed to the camera in the hands of the reporter, continued.

“In this new era, our civilized human beings will establish a new space order, pay more attention to social exchanges in the space field, and internationalization. In the future, more countries will participate in aerospace projects, and there will be more people of different skin colors. Activities on spacecraft in outer space, the common destiny connects us.”

“If you are willing, we hope to work with you to develop lunar resources and build a ‘moon village.'”

Lu Zhou smiled and extended the right hand.

“Our position is of course as always, and I am very happy to reach a consensus with you.”
