Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Central of the Zhungeer Basin.

On the road through the Gurbantunggut Desert, a series of heavy engineering equipment is carrying dust and is rushing into the depths of the desert.

With the completion of the site selection of the fire plan, the funds from the Ministry of Science and Technology were quickly put in place. Almost at the same time as the bidding work was completed, the equipment of the construction unit was taken to the construction site from the nearest city.

At this moment, on the construction site near the military camp, rows of mobile homes have been built. Workers wearing small yellow hats quickly completed the loading and unloading of equipment and materials, and set up basic living facilities near the mobile home. In the open space not far from this, heavy equipment that went to the site has begun to be in the construction area. Working inside.

Any great project starts with the foundation, and the biosphere a is no exception.

Before the construction of the steel frame, the construction unit will first hollow out the area, dug a large pit three to four meters deep, then cast steel on the ground, pour the cement, and finally put the stainless steel plate.

Looking at the engineering equipment that was ploughed in the open space not far away, Professor Hu with a helmet was looking at the engineering drawings and construction plan in his hand, listening to the person in charge of the site next to him.

"...This is our construction plan. Starting from the first phase of the project, it is now laying the foundation. If you have any questions, if you have any, you can mention it now. I will find a solution."

After carefully reading the drawings and construction plan and confirming that there was no omission, Professor Hu nodded.

"There is basically no problem, when can I build it as soon as possible?"

Squinting at the distant horizon of the rolling yellow sand, the person in charge said: "The first phase of the project is enough for three months, all three phases of the project are completed, if it is six months, if it is slow, seven or eight About the month, the weather has to be seen here. If there is a sandstorm between the three and five, the construction period will definitely be delayed."

Not just sandstorms.

There are also sudden high temperatures and so on.

There are many uncertainties in the construction of the desert, and any accidents may occur. The construction period is not accurate.

"The speed is secondary. It doesn't matter if you slow down." The engineering drawings in the hand were returned to the person in charge. Hu Yang said with a serious expression, "Please be sure to put more effort into the quality, any slight omission. Both may cause the entire experiment to fail."

"Do not worry," the ash on the cigarette butt, the person in charge relaxed and jokingly said, "The quality is certain. This is a national project. How can I not make fun of my next life?"

This kind of project, if he dares to cut corners, is purely tired.

Even if no one says it, he will take out the care of one hundred and twenty.

At the same time, just as the fire plan is on the right track, the news of the biosphere a will follow.

Although the Gurbantunggut Desert is located in the restricted area of ​​life, it is almost impossible for such a huge project to be completely confidential.

In fact, the fire plan is not a confidential project, because there is absolutely no need. After all, it does not involve any national defense technology. Many studies involving biology, ecology, meteorology and hydrology, etc., belong to the category of natural sciences, and also need to cooperate with other research institutions in the world.

Just after the official start of the biosphere a, the news that China was building an artificial biosphere soon spread throughout the international academic community, and caused a huge sensation in related research fields and ecological protection public welfare organizations.

Since the failure of the Biosphere 2 program in the United States, the call to build Biosphere 3 has never stopped. However, no one is willing to invest in such high-input, high-risk, low-return research projects.

At least, it is absolutely impossible to expect Americans to jump to this big pit again.

Now Huaguo is willing to pay for this "Biosphere No. 3", which is the biosphere a built in the center of the Zhungeer Basin. It is undoubtedly a shock to scholars and public welfare people who are committed to promoting the research of artificial ecosystems. good news.

After all, China’s investment in the natural sciences has been extremely limited. This time, it has been invested in so many capitals in the study of natural sciences, and it has won the favor of many scholars in the world.

Interestingly, however, unlike the positive opinions of the academic community, the opinions of the world's leading media are quite subtle.

Some people think that this is another courageous challenge that human beings have taken to control nature. Some people have combined the recent actions of China in the space field, and they have analyzed the background of this plan and determined that it has a great possibility of being in China. The country’s “space expansion” paves the way.

In particular, the famous North American newspapers, headed by The New York Times and The Washington Post, use the news of "military background" and "part of the project opacity" as a scorpion, and arbitrarily put "Huaguo space." The colonial outpost, which sounded like a screaming title, was awarded to the biosphere a under construction, and called on scholars in related fields to participate cautiously in the project.

Although these views sound ridiculous, they still attract the attention of NASA.

Or, the importance of nsc.

As early as three years ago, after the United States announced its return to the moon, a president with a cool haircut signed the relevant decree and rebuilt the National Space Committee for the third time, the so-called nsc.

This time, unlike the past, the reorganized nsc is directly affiliated to the presidential administrative office, and is personally supervised by the vice president. It is equivalent in level to the National Security Council, the Management and Budget Bureau, the Intelligence Advisory Committee, and so on.

Obviously, the United States has demonstrated its determination to re-emerge in the space field.

In a meeting room of the White House.

The team of the aides and the senior officials of the relevant departments were summoned. The president took both hands on the table and said with a serious expression.

"The Chinese people have shown a considerable degree of ambition in the development of outer space resources. We must examine our own space program. No matter what achievements we have made, if we can not maintain our advantage in the aerospace field, then Meaningless!"

At this time, a voice came from the conference room.

"Can I say a few words?"

Looking at the direction of the voice, the president nodded.

"of course."

Looking at the sight of a pair of people falling on themselves, the director Nasa slowly stood up and said.

"Huaguo is still chasing our footsteps. I don't think there is any need to worry about transition. Of course, I don't mean to relax my vigilance. We just need to speed up our own rhythm and stay ahead of the curve."

After a pause, the director of Nasa continued.

“I propose to push our front line in a more distant direction while keeping the ‘return to the moon’ plan moving forward. For example, Mars.”

The president frowned.

"Mars?"

There was a whisper in the conference room.

Did not care about those arguments, Nasa Director nodded and said seriously.

"Yes, you have not misunderstood, we already have the ability to explore Mars. We have many excellent aerospace companies capable of this task. We only need to provide some help to them and integrate their strengths. ""

Having said that, he paused for a moment and raised the volume to continue.

“I propose to launch the ‘Arris’ program to curb the ambition of the Chinese nation on the moon!”

"If they think that the footprints on the moon can surpass us, then we will send our people to Mars farther while they print their footprints!"
