Global sandstorm?

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

After paying attention to the action of Lu Zhou, 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 them 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 to squat, then smiled bitterly.

"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 experience that summer is a frequent occurrence of sandstorms. Global dust storms occur once every five to six years, and may last for several months or even a whole year, and the lightning caused by the collision of sand and gravel.

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 dust storm?"

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 space 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, His technicians could not have considered the situation of sandstorms.

It is not even excluded that they have rehearsed on the earth to cope with similar situations.

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 and agreed with his words. After a moment of contemplation, he continued to speak.

"Let the Zhangzhou Radio Astronomical 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 meeting with the Director of the European Space Agency in the afternoon 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 and got up and walked outside the office.

......

As the controllable fusion negotiations have entered the final stage, the relationship between China and the rest of the world is at the honeymoon stage. Both the cooperation in the economic field and the cooperation in the field of 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 Jinling Space Launch Center, Lu Zhou met with the Director of the European Space Agency, Mr. Owens.

After finishing the meeting in Beijing, he made a special trip to arrange Jinling within his itinerary with the EU delegation. The most important reason is to see the Luzhou--the leader of the Chinese aerospace industry. The chief designer of the Lunar Track Construction Committee of Nasa, the legendary big scientist...

"Hello, Professor Lu, I am very happy to meet you!"

As soon as he met, Owens, who looked like a tall and thin, enthusiastically took Lu Zhou’s hand and shook it. For Mr. Owens, who was full of smiles, Lu Zhou also responded with a polite but enthusiasm smile, said.

"I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Owens! 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 smiled and 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 space 2.0 phase, we entered space and embarked on the moon. It also entered the 'Apollo' era. In the 3.0 phase of space, space has become another dimension of human development. The commercial launch mission is becoming more frequent, and our civilization has entered the era of the 'International Space Station'.

Lu Zhou smiled and asked: "It sounds very interesting, then what do you think will be the space 4.0 era?"

After Owens thought for a moment, he smiled and said.

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

“Oh?” Lu Zhou smiled and jokingly asked, “Why not the era of Ares?”

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."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou could not help but feel the emotion.

This is really a drop of water.

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 felt that he was a bit like a few German friends he knew...

Did not stop, Owens smiled slightly 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 his right hand.

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