When Lu Zhou heard Secretary Yang's question, he paused for a second and couldn't help but smile.
"If they want to participate, then let them participate. Do you really need to ask me?"
Secretary Yang said in a serious manner, "But what about confidentiality?"
Lu Zhou shook his head and spoke.
"Don't be so nervous, the Garden project is different from the STAR-2 project. There are no secrets to speak of. Also, we don't have any experience in this area. If we can get help from international organizations, many problems will become much easier for us. "
Back then, in addition to bringing a lot of advanced technologies such as "temperature control system" and the warning that there was only one Earth, Biosphere 2 also trained a large number of outstanding ecology and biology scholars.
Although Biosphere 2 failed in the end, the experience of these failures was very valuable to the successors.
Especially since these "losers" had been calling for the reconstruction of Biosphere 3 over the past few years, Lu Zhou believed that these "losers" had summed up their past failures and were ready to challenge this scientific proposition again. Since this was the case, there was no reason for the Garden project to shut out these outstanding talents.
Even though they couldn't rule out the risk of intelligence personnel from other countries, all of the risks were controllable.
Secretary Yang rubbed his chin and thought for a second. He then said, "So what you're saying is, we should let those international scholars participate as well?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "I strongly recommend doing this. In fact, not just the Garden program, but many projects that don't involve the core fields, including our moon landing program, can be cooperated with the international community. "
This way, they could eliminate the suspicion of neighboring countries toward China's spacecraft development. Secondly, they could attract more talents to come to China for research or even long-term residence.
In addition, in terms of the depth of cooperation, China could also focus on choosing countries with good diplomatic relations with them.
This would be quite helpful in enhancing China's influence in the international academic community.
If Lu Zhou could see this, then there was no way Secretary Yang, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, couldn't not see this.
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Secretary Yang pondered for half a minute. He then immediately stood up from the sofa.
"Your opinion is very valuable, I will accurately convey it to the higher-ups."
Lu Zhou: "Are you going to leave already? Won't you stay for dinner? "
"It's okay, I'm in a hurry to go back." Secretary Yang smiled and said, "Save this meal for another time. The next time you go to Beijing, I'll treat you."
Lu Zhou smiled and didn't ask him to stay. He walked him to the door of the office.
China did not lack experience in large-scale scientific research projects, but it lacked experience in leading international large-scale scientific research projects. This cooperation could be an opportunity.
Lu Zhou returned to his desk and sat down. He took out a letter from his drawer and thought for a moment. From the perspective of a scholar, he wrote down his opinion on this matter.
The globalization of scientific research was an inevitable trend in the future.
Just like the industrial world that had completed globalization, as humans' understanding of nature entered a deeper level, a huge scientific research project would no longer be the obligation of a single country. Instead, it would be a responsibility that the entire international community should work together to undertake.
And in this responsibility, whoever could occupy the leading position would be able to stand at the forefront of the future …
The tip of his pen glided smoothly across the paper, and without paying attention, he had written four or five pages of paper.
Lu Zhou looked at the letter and nodded with satisfaction. He then folded the letter and stuffed it into his pocket. He planned on mailing it later.
At this moment, what he didn't know was that the letter he wrote and the establishment of the Shanghai International Research Cooperation Organization would have a profound impact on the political structure of Asia and the entire world in the future.
In some sense, this impact was even more dazzling than controllable fusion …
Lu Zhou stretched his back and leaned back in his chair. He was wondering if he should order takeout or go to the cafeteria to eat when his phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Lu Zhou picked up his phone and saw that it was Chen Yushan calling. He stood up from his office chair and picked up the call while walking to the hallway outside the office.
The moment the call connected, a familiar and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.
"The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation just called me. They have completed the space plant growth unit design with China Agricultural University. It will be delivered to our launch site in a week at the earliest."
Lu Zhou had a look of surprise on his face.
"It's completed? That fast? "
Therefore, the deployment of space plant growth units on the Moon wasn't a part of the manned moon landing program. Instead, it was a private project funded by Star Sky Technology. As for the reason why Lu Zhou made this arrangement, it was because of the "Control of Earth and Moon" mission chain that the system gave him.
In the first phase of the mission chain, there were two very interesting side missions. One was to deploy a 10-square-meter unmanned planting module on the surface of the Moon, and the other was to breed 10 mice on the surface of the Moon and observe them.
Lu Zhou happened to be riding on the moon landing program, so he reported this research project to the China National Space Administration and applied to carry out the manned moon landing program at the same time.
After receiving Lu Zhou's application, the China National Space Administration readily approved it.
Skyglow's Earth-Moon transfer orbit had a carrying capacity of 25 tons. After subtracting the 17 tons needed for the moon landing program, there was still 8 tons of carrying capacity left. The 8 tons of carrying capacity was useless, so it was better to use it for something meaningful.
As long as Lu Zhou didn't apply to install himself on the Moon, the China National Space Administration had no reason to refuse.
It was around July or August last year. After receiving approval from the China National Space Administration, Lu Zhou immediately contacted the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, China Agricultural University, and the Institute of Technical Biology and Agricultural Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to start the design of the space plant growth unit.
Even though the name of the device sounded very impressive, it was actually just an automated planting device. In order to save space, the culture fluid was separated from the hardware, and it was designed to be foldable. It couldn't even be considered a piece of black technology.
However, even so, to be able to research and put it into practice within half a year and use less than 10 million to make this thing was quite amazing. That was why Lu Zhou was so surprised.
"Compared to you, it's not that fast. Come to think of it, half a year has passed." Chen Yushan, who was on the other end of the phone, smirked. She changed her phone and continued, "According to your requirements, the planting unit uses hydroponics technology. After it's completely unfolded and filled with culture fluid, the planting area is exactly 10 square meters, and the total weight is about 5 tons. Under the condition of ensuring sufficient electricity, the stored nutrients can maintain the growth conditions of the crops for the first stage. "
Lu Zhou nodded. "That's enough. What about the detailed technical parameters?"
"I've sent it to your mailbox. Check it ~"
"Okay, 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. He logged into his email through the computer and soon saw the email.
After reading the email from beginning to end, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
As expected.
