Boston.

Headquarters of the International Federation of Materials Research Societies.

Chairman Swift sat in his office, and Secretary General Merry Finch looked at the email on the computer screen with a confused expression, and did not react for a while.

About a day ago, the White House gladly accepted their proposal, and Congress said yes and intended to use the award ceremony as an opportunity to repair relations between the two countries.

Whether it is the supply of the Deep Space Gate space station or the fusion reactor in California, they are inseparable from the transport ships and engineers of Huaguo, and even if they want to carry out this confrontation, they are only unhappy with themselves, and even a little like a child who is vexatious.

All signs indicate that it is time for the confrontation between them and Hua Guo to end.

After all, if this confrontation continues, the people of California will start clamoring for the establishment of a state.

Sport can be an opportunity to restore normalcy in diplomatic relations, as can academic activities.

The White House has already arranged Lu Zhou's pick-up ceremony, prepared a presidential-level meeting, and even scheduled an afternoon tea at the White House, but Chairman Swift and Secretary General Merry Finch never thought that when they arranged everything properly, they just went through the motions to present an award to Lu Zhou, but Lu Zhou actually gave up his nomination qualification and didn't come?!

Yes, not coming!

What the heck?!

“…… Isn't he a young man himself? Seeing the wording of the last two lines in the email, Secretary General Merfinch, who had always been calm, finally couldn't help but complain.

He'd never seen someone so good at pretending!

Chairman Swift, who was standing next to him, was obviously thinking the same thing at the moment, with a constipated expression on his face, and it took a while before he said with difficulty.

"Does he have any opinion of us?"

"Probably not, right? We didn't offend him...... Probably? ”

Shet...... What now? Everything was ready, but the chain fell at the most critical place, or notify the White House first......"

"Ask the White House," Secretary General Merfurinch said with a solemn face, "and if there is any misunderstanding, then we may be in big trouble." ”

In fact, it is not only Chairman Swift and Secretary General Merry Finch who are frightened, but the White House also feels tricky about Lu Zhou's choice.

Gradually began to realize that the "misunderstanding" between the two countries may be bigger than imagined, and the White House soon tested the attitude of the Chinese side through diplomatic channels.

And then ......

On the third day after Lu Zhou wrote a letter to revoke his qualification for the annual award of the Federation of Societies.

Director Li personally came to Jinling and came to Lu Zhou's home.

"You turned down that Academy Alliance Annual Award?"

"Yes," Lu Zhou said casually, looking at Director Li, who was sitting across from the coffee table, a little inexplicably, "For more honors, it doesn't mean much anymore, I think the opportunity should be reserved for young people who need it more, is there any problem?" ”

It's okay to leave it to young people......

Hearing this, Director Li couldn't help but have a crying and laughing expression on his face.

Looking at the international academic community, if not the same rank, who is younger than you among those scholars who are eligible to be nominated?

However, seeing Lu Zhou's serious expression, he couldn't complain.

So after a moment of silence, he sighed and said.

“…… It's nothing, don't go if you don't go, anyway...... In fact, it doesn't have any impact, and it's the same when you wait for the next opportunity. ”

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

Opportunity?

What was the opportunity?

I always feel like I'm missing something important.

Looking at the expressionless Lu Zhou, Director Li hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and spoke.

"What the top level means is that it's almost okay to have a confrontation with North America, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and it's not good to push people too hard, and development is the last word. We don't have core interests in the Americas, and as long as they agree to give up interfering in East Asia, it's a good idea to take a step back...... What do you think? ”

Not quite understanding why Director Li suddenly talked to him about the overall situation at this time, Lu Zhou frowned and spoke.

"I'm a pacifist myself, and you should know my attitude."

Director Li sighed: "That's good, in fact, I'm also worried about you having a grudge or something...... In fact, the incident on the last cruise ship had little to do with the Americans, and although it was unexpected, the clue did not point to the FBI. ”

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

What the hell is a grudge?

And why did it suddenly get on that Northern Lights cruise ship?

In fact, to be honest, since no one sacrificed in the end, if Director Li didn't talk about it, he would almost forget about it.

Moreover, he has never been very interested in such things as politics, he is just a scholar who strives to explore the mysteries of the universe and strive for the future of a community with a shared future for mankind under the premise of being loyal to the country and the nation.

If you have to find another motivation for these behaviors.

Probably because of interest.

"The purpose of your coming to me this time makes me a little incomprehensible," Lu Zhou took a sip of tea, and looked at Director Li a little incomprehensibly, "Don't tell me that you came to Jinling specifically to do ideological work with me." ”

"Then how can it be, you are usually so busy with scientific research, I have nothing to do, so I am embarrassed to disturb you," Director Li smiled embarrassedly, "I also just asked for the people on the diplomatic side of the annual award, the main purpose of my coming here this time is still to carry people on the fire!" ”

Manned fire?

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's eyes suddenly brightened.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he looked at Director Li and said with a smile.

"Manned fire? That's a coincidence, and I was just going to talk to you about it. ”

Director Li smiled and said, "Then please speak first!" ”

"The Mars program occupies a very important part of our space strategy, and the manned landing is the beginning of everything, and this project is very important, and there is no room for sloppiness," Speaking of this, Lu Zhou looked at Director Li seriously and said in a solemn tone, "I want to apply to the organization for this launch plan!" ”

"I'm in charge! Expedition to Mars! ”

The moment he heard this, Director Li immediately showed a happy expression on his face, and slapped his thigh and said.

"Hahaha, it's a coincidence!"

"I came to Jinling to find you this time, just to tell you about this!"

"The organization has decided, if you have no problem here, you will be the chief designer of this Mars colonization project!"

"Haha, since you agreed, what else do you have to say? Let's go to Beijing together! Then, go to the Great Northwest again! ”

China's artificial biosphere and Mars colonization experiment base are both in the Gurbantunggut Desert, and plans have been in the works since a few years ago.

Looking at the overjoyed Director Li, Lu Zhou stood up from the sofa and said with a smile.

"That's okay, it's okay to move quickly, I'll go pack my luggage first, you wait for me for half an hour."

Director Li: "It's okay, don't worry about these few minutes, you bring a few more clothes, maybe when you will come back this time...... By the way, something suddenly came to mind. ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhou stopped and looked at him and asked.

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Director Li coughed dryly.

"It was the last call, didn't I ask you if that space elevator was possible? I just wanted to ask the end of the matter - eh? Don't run! ”

Looking at the empty living room in amazement, Director Li was dumbfounded again......

-

(The weather is getting colder and colder, and the most uncomfortable thing about code words in winter is that the hand resting on the keyboard is cold unconsciously, so you must pay attention to keeping warm, don't catch a cold.) I'm going home during this time, and I'll try to update Morning Star as much as possible, and try to challenge Riwan...... I'm a shy person.,I'm not very good at talking.,There's nothing but handsome.,Monthly passes and battles.,I'll leave it to all my brothers and sisters!

Thanks! ）
