Chapter 719 Space Planting Unit
Hearing Secretary Yang's question, Lu Zhou froze for a moment, and couldn't help but said with a smile.
"If they want to participate, let them participate. Do you need to ask me this too?"
Secretary Yang asked seriously: "But what about the confidentiality issue?"
Lu Zhou shook his head and continued.
"Don't be so nervous. The Tinder project is different from the STAR-2 project. There are no secrets at all. And we have no experience in this area. If we can get help from international organizations, many problems will become easier for us. Much easier than before.”
In addition to bringing a lot of advanced technologies such as "temperature control system" and the warning that "there is only one earth", Biosphere 2 also trained a large number of outstanding ecology and biologists.
Although Biosphere 2 failed in the end, the experience of these failures is precious to the successors.
Especially these years have been calling for the reconstruction of Biosphere 3. I believe that these "losers" have summed up the experience of past failures and are ready to challenge this scientific proposition concerning the future of mankind again. That being the case, there is absolutely no reason for the Tinder program to reject these outstanding talents.
Even if the risk that other national intelligence personnel may be mixed in is not ruled out, all risks are within the controllable range.
Secretary Yang touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "You mean, we should involve those international scholars?"
Lu Zhou nodded: "I strongly recommend this. Even not just the 'Tinder' project, including our moon landing plan, many projects that do not involve core areas can be cooperated with the international community. "
In this way, it can eliminate the wariness of neighboring countries about China's vigorous development of spacecraft, and secondly, it can attract more talents to come to China to do research work, and even settle down for a long time.
In addition, in terms of cooperation depth, Huaguo can also focus on choosing countries with good diplomatic relations.
This is also quite helpful for enhancing Huaguo's influence in the international academic circle.
Lu Zhou can see this, but Secretary Yang, who works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, can't see it.
After listening to Lu Zhou's words, he pondered for about half a minute, and immediately stood up from the sofa.
"Your opinion is very valuable, and I will convey it to the senior management accurately."
Lu Zhou: "Are you going to leave now? Don't you want to stay for dinner?"
"No, I'm not in a hurry to go back." Secretary Yang smiled and continued, "Let's save this meal for later. I'll treat you when you go to Beijing next time."
Lu Zhou smiled, but didn't continue to keep him, and sent him to the door of the office.
Huaguo does not lack experience in large-scale scientific research projects, but lacks experience in leading international large-scale scientific research projects. This cooperation can be used as an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou went back to his desk and sat down, took out a letter from the drawer, and after thinking about it for a while, he wrote down his opinions and views on this matter from the perspective of a scholar.
The globalization of scientific research is an inevitable trend in the future.
Just like the industrial world that has completed globalization, as human beings' understanding of nature enters a deeper field, a huge scientific research project will no longer be the obligation of a certain country, but should be the cooperation of the entire international community , Shared responsibility.
And in this responsibility, whoever can occupy a dominant position will be able to stand on the cusp of the future...
The tip of the pen walked smoothly across the paper, and I wrote four or five pages without paying attention.
Standing up and reading the letter, Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction, then folded it and stuffed it into his pocket, planning to send it out later.
But at this moment, what he still doesn't know is that the letter he wrote at this moment and the Shanghai International Research Cooperation Organization established in the future will have a great impact on the political structure of Asia and even the entire world many years later. profound influence.
In a sense, this influence is even more dazzling than the light of controllable fusion...
Stretched and leaned on the chair, when Lu Zhou was thinking about whether to order takeaway or go to the cafeteria, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Picking up the phone and looking at it, seeing that it was from the senior sister, Lu Zhou stood up from the office chair, pressed the button to connect, and went to the corridor outside the office.
As soon as the phone was connected, the familiar and pleasant voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.
"Air Science Group just had a phone call with me. The space planting unit they designed in cooperation with Huanong University has been completed, and it will be delivered to our launch base in a week at the earliest."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Already done? So soon?"
Therefore, the deployment of space planting units on the moon is not a sub-project of the manned moon landing plan, but a private project funded by Xingkong Technology. As for the reason why Lu Zhou made this arrangement, it was naturally because of the task chain called "Earth and Moon Control" issued by the system to him.
In the first phase of the task chain, there are two very interesting branches, which are to deploy a 10-square-meter unmanned planting module on the surface of the moon, and to breed and observe 10 mice on the surface of the moon.
Just in time for the ride of the moon landing plan, Lu Zhou reported this research project to the space agency, and the application was carried out at the same time as the manned moon landing plan.
After receiving Lu Zhou's application, the space agency also readily approved it.
Xiangrui's earth-moon transfer orbit has a carrying capacity of 25 tons. After subtracting the 17 tons needed for the moon landing plan, there is still 8 tons of carrying capacity remaining. The 8 tons of carrying capacity is also empty, so it is better to use it to do something meaningful.
As long as Lu Zhou didn't apply to install himself on it, there is of course no reason for the space agency to refuse.
At that time, it happened around July and August last year. After getting the approval from the space agency, Lu Zhou immediately contacted the Aviation Science Group, Huanong University, and the Institute of Technical Biology and Agricultural Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and launched a survey of the space planting unit. the design of.
Although the name of the entire device sounds grand, it is actually just an automated planting device. In order to save space, the culture medium is separated from the hardware, and it is designed in a foldable mode, which is not even a black technology.
However, even so, it is quite remarkable to be able to research and practice within half a year, and use less than 10 million funds to make this thing. It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhou was so surprised.
"It's not so fast compared to you building an airplane. Seriously, it's been half a year." Chen Yushan on the other end of the phone bent her mouth, held the phone after changing it, and continued, "According to your request, the planting unit Using hydroponic technology, after fully unfolding and filling the culture medium, the planting area will reach exactly 10 square meters, and the total weight will be about 5 tons. Under the condition of sufficient electricity, the stored nutrients can maintain the growth conditions of the crops in the first stage.”
Lu Zhou nodded: "That's enough, what about the detailed technical parameters?"
"I have sent it to your email, pay attention to check~"
"OK, I'll go take a look."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou immediately returned to the office, walked to the desk and sat down, logged into his mailbox through the computer, and soon saw the email.
After browsing the email from beginning to end, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
Not surprisingly.
