[Mission: Space Component A]

[Description: Materials are the flesh and blood of civilization, from the ancient city walls to the boundless star rings, all magnificent wonders are closely related to it.] 】

[Requirements: A Young's modulus ≥ 2.1TPa was found, and the failure strength was ≥80N/m...... materials. 】

[Reward: 500,000 materials science experience, one lottery chance, 1,000 points.] 】

Physics has reached the full level, and Lu Zhou is just about to enter the field of materials science, referring to the materials required on the blueprint of the Lagrange space base, this task is almost tailor-made for him.

"A super tensile material?"

"Sounds like a lot of fun."

The corners of Lu Zhou's mouth curled up with a smile.

He already has a rough idea of how to achieve this technical requirement, but he still needs to verify those conjectures about experiments through experiments.

If nothing else, this task should not delay him for long.

"Half a million materials science experience...... It's just enough to upgrade materials science to LV8. ”

After confirming the progress bar on the attribute panel, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and reached out to select this task.

Looking at the pop-up dialog box that said "Task Claim Successful", he stretched out his index finger and swiped it on the holographic screen to close the taskbar.

However, just before the task bar completely disappeared, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed that at the end of the mission ID, there seemed to be an "A" logo.

"Meaning...... Is this still a series of missions? ”

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's heart couldn't help but ponder.

Since there is an A, that means that there will be a series like BCD in the future?

But fortunately, this task is not the kind of task chain that he has encountered in the past, which is carried out in a cycle of years, and once it starts, there is no turning back.

Otherwise, he really thinks about whether it is worth investing so much time for a mere 500,000 experience...

……

Just as Lu Zhou was lying on his bed, far away on Chang'an Avenue in Shangjing City, in an antique conference room, many people in formal clothes were sitting at the conference table with serious expressions.

Judging from the signs on the conference table, the identity of the people sitting here should not be underestimated, either the number one leader of the science and technology development department, or the leader of the key state unit.

Glancing at the time on his watch, seeing that there were still about ten minutes before the meeting began, Director Li, who was sitting at the conference table, unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of tea.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and organize a speech at the meeting in his mind, Vice Minister Liu, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Science and Technology, who was sitting next to him, suddenly turned his face slightly sideways and accosted him.

"This time it's not ordinary."

I didn't quite understand the intention of this colleague talking to him, and after thinking for a moment, Director Li just nodded briefly and casually agreed.

"Yes."

Two super projects are being carried out at the same time, and they are both large projects with an investment of hundreds of billions of trillions.

Even in terms of China's current national strength, it is a matter of great pressure.

In particular, these two projects are still concentrated in the aerospace field, and they are the kind of bottomless pit that can only enter and not get out of the short-term and bottomless in the medium term.

Maybe it will be worth it in the long run and will benefit countless generations of Chinese children, but who can guarantee it?

Most of them may not live to that time, and by the time the project is completed, most of those responsible are no longer alive......

Therefore, even if this plan was initiated by Lu Zhou himself, not everyone agrees with this plan.

This controversy has come to the fore in discussions in previous high-level meetings.

"Do you think it's appropriate to do this now?"

Hearing this sentence from his colleague, Director Li immediately reacted.

It's been a long time, and this guy is probing his own mouth.

Smiling, Director Li spoke.

"Whether it's appropriate or not depends on how you look at it."

Vice Minister Liu asked thoughtfully.

"How?"

"I remember that some time ago, Academician Lu and I said that the Lagrange space base is a springboard to distant galaxies, and the Mars research station is a test field for us to colonize distant galaxies, and the two together will become a catalyst for the prosperity and development of our aerospace industry within a hundred years. If we are going to explore the more distant world, this step will have to be taken sooner or later, but sooner or later. ”

"Is it just a matter of time or time?" Vice Minister Liu sighed, "That's what I said, but I always feel ...... That still sounds a little too far away. ”

Director Li didn't know what to say, so he just nodded.

"That's inevitable."

This seems to be the end of the topic.

But just when he just thought so, Vice Minister Liu suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked casually.

"I heard that when the Great Elder went to Shanghai, he met with Academician Lu?"

Director Li was slightly stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously.

"It seems like this."

A hint of abruptness appeared in Vice Minister Liu's eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded lightly and said as if meaningful.

"Then this meeting is a bit interesting."

As soon as the hour of ten o'clock arrived, the meeting officially began.

As in previous discussions, the Grand Elder presided over the meeting. However, unlike the previous ones, this time it was not a PPT that was displayed at the beginning of the meeting, but a ...... It's a bit of a strange device.

“…… What's that? Air humidifiers? ”

Seeing the thin white mist floating from the device, Vice Minister Liu muttered in a low voice.

Most people reacted the same way he did, being a little confused by the oddly shaped machine.

The old man standing at the conference table smiled at the surprised eyes in the conference room and explained.

"Holographic projection system."

"I've found that this device is not only used for entertainment, but also for conference presentations, which can make many abstract things intuitive."

As he spoke, a blue light emanated from the top of the oddly shaped machine, a magnificent space fortress woven through the light gauzy mist.

The moment the pitch-black fortress appeared in the mist, many people's eyes were completely taken away from it, and they stuck to the metallic shell.

Reading the shock in those dilated pupils, the old man smiled and continued.

"When I was in Shanghai, Academician Lu demonstrated this set of devices to me, and my surprise was no less than yours."

"The space fortress we see now is a three-dimensional concept map of the Lagrange space base after it was completed, scaled down to the same scale."

"It's not just the Lagrange space base, it's the final form of that Martian city...... It's like this. ”

The image in the white fog continues to change, and the reassembled light particles weave a vast yellow sand in the fog barrier, and in the yellow sand, like a mirage, a space city with a great sense of science fiction emerges.

Looking back at the sci-fi city, the old man continued to speak.

"This is a concept map of the Martian city...... At the same time, it is also the ultimate goal of the Mars research station. Just like what we expect from the Guanghan Special Zone, they will one day become a reality. ”

"And whether to turn it into reality or not, the choice has always been in our hands."

The light above the holographic system dissipated along with the white mist.

After a pause, the old man smiled and continued.

"I think that since all of us are now standing in an era of rapid development, we can also be more imaginative about the future."

"And that's the advice a young man gave me."

When he heard this, Vice Minister Liu, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face, and whispered a word in his heart.

“…… Sure enough, I talked to Academician Lu. ”

The expression on Director Li's face was also full of surprise, although he was aware of Lu Zhou's influence, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

The old man standing on the stage did not stop at all, changed his serious tone, and continued to speak.

"We've been talking about it for a long time since the first meeting, and it's time to have a result today."

"In that case, let's vote!"

As the old man's voice fell, the voting session soon began.

Looking at the voting machine on the table, Director Li did not hesitate, and reached out and pressed the approval button.

That's what he'd thought for a long time, and his mind hasn't changed.

The blueprint for the space base has long been deeply imprinted in his heart like a brand. He believes that with the disdainful efforts of Academician Lu and Huaguo Aerospace Industry, that blueprint will have a chance to become a reality!

Whether or not he has a chance to see the day he becomes a reality, he hopes that he is at least not the one dragging his feet.

At this moment, Director Li suddenly noticed that Vice Minister Liu, who was sitting next to him, also pressed the same button as him on the voting machine.

It seems that although Vice Minister Liu's tone was full of hesitation during the previous casual conversation, he still voted in favor in the end.

Thinking of this, Director Li suddenly felt a little happy in his heart.

Although he himself did not know what exactly made him happy.

Five minutes passed.

The results of the vote were quickly on the big screen.

There were 211 votes in favour, 13 against and 5 abstentions.

Without a doubt, this is a landslide victory!

Looking at the voting results on the screen, a touch of approval appeared in the old man's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Turning back to the conference room, he announced the outcome of the topic in a solemn and calm voice.

"I announce."

"Mars Research Station Project, Lagrange Point Space Base Project—"

"Approve the project!"
