Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Some laboratory at the Institute of Computational Materials.
Yang Xu, who was meticulously doing an experiment, suddenly looked up and adjusted his glasses. He looked at Lu Zhou, who was standing at the entrance of the laboratory.
"You're here? I was just about to go find you. That piece of fabric … Where did you get it? "
"I got it from the relevant department. It's a national secret. I'll talk to you about it after the confidentiality period is over." Lu Zhou didn't answer Yang Xu's question. He placed the report on the table and said, "Is there a way to make this thing?"
Yang Xu made a helpless expression and stopped asking questions. He put the test tube back on the test tube rack and said, "This is a state secret."
"Are you talking about laboratory preparation or industrial preparation?"
Lu Zhou: "Both."
Yang Xu thought for a second and said in a serious manner, "I can do the former now, but the latter … I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Lu Zhou immediately asked, "How does it compare to the SG-1 superconducting material?"
Yang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "The difficulty of industrial preparation is on a completely different level."
When Lu Zhou heard Yang Xu's words, he had a dignified look on his face.
Just like he had guessed, this thing wasn't easy to make.
Because Yang Xu spent a lot of time in the laboratory, his experimental abilities were slightly better than Lu Zhou's, who was better at theoretical research.
If Yang Xu said that, then it was probably true.
"Anyway, let's make a project for this material. Regardless of whether it's difficult or not, let's try to solve it first … Oh yeah, there's something else I have to ask you."
Yang Xu: "What?"
Lu Zhou thought for a second and said, "Is there a pharmaceutical company that has a good relationship with us?"
"Pharmaceutical company?" Yang Xu paused for a second and rubbed his chin. He thought for a second and shook his head. "Probably not. We mostly work with some materials and chemical companies, we don't really have any pharmaceutical companies … Is there a problem? "
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "I have two very interesting compounds here. I might need the help of some professional institutions to conduct clinical trials. If possible, I'd like to trouble them to help me manufacture them."
It would be best if he could help solve the problem of going on the market.
After all, it was better to have fun together than to have fun alone. It was too expensive to use it himself. If he used the active ingredient extracted from the liquid food and the special amino acid extracted from the Future Cola in the food, health products, and even medicine fields, he could earn more money for it.
Then, the liquid food could also be used in the aerospace field.
Yang Xu pushed up his glasses and asked, "Does it have any economic value? Or is it just a reagent used in experiments? "
Lu Zhou nodded. "It definitely has economic value. At least, I feel that it will definitely be useful in the food and medical fields."
"That's not a problem at all." Yang Xu smiled and said in a joking tone, "If a Nobel Prize winner wants to find someone to work with, the line of people would probably go all the way to the physics department."
…
Arizona.
In a barren desert, a Hummer sped along the road.
Elon Musk was sitting in the back of the Hummer. He was wearing sunglasses as he looked at the desert and cactus outside the window. He spoke to Director Carson, who was sitting next to him.
"Actually, compared to the Moon, Mars is more suitable for colonization. It has a rich atmosphere … Although the density is very low. It's also rich in minerals, methane, and other resources for our colonists to develop light and heavy industries. If necessary, we can also consider melting the dry ice at the poles, releasing the carbon dioxide stored in the Martian rock formation, and using the greenhouse effect to restore the planet's atmosphere. "
Director Carson smiled and asked, "How many centuries do you plan to use to accomplish this?"
Musk said excitedly, "Maybe ten centuries? Or a hundred centuries? But that's not the point, that's not Space-X's mission. I'm very clear about Space-X's role. We will play the role of a space age 'railway company'. Their mission is to open up routes in space, build transportation systems, and establish a frontline position for humans on Mars. "
Director Carson raised his eyebrows and said, "This sounds ridiculous, even a bit funny."
Honestly, he didn't want to think about something so far away.
If they really had the technology, instead of developing Mars tens of millions of kilometers away, it would be better to turn the Arizona desert into an oasis. This would be far more practical than colonizing Mars.
Of course, he didn't say this out loud.
After all, he was the director of NASA, the person in charge of the Ares program. The success or failure of this mission was related to the glory of the United States, as well as his future career.
Even though he didn't believe that colonizing Mars would bring any tangible benefits, he would still fully support this plan.
After all, he was putting all of his chips on this plan.
Elon didn't care about Director Carson's mockery. He had heard many similar mockery over the years, so he didn't care.
Looking at the rolling red sand outside the window, he said in a relaxed tone, "When the Union Pacific Railroad was built, there were people who opposed it and called it a stupid project. But looking back today, no one can deny the benefits this project has brought to the United States. The same goes for flying to Mars. It will bring huge opportunities to mankind, and it will give us the motivation and courage to challenge the future … We're here. "
As the two of them spoke, they arrived at their destination.
Next to a canyon was a white egg-shaped building. It was located in a barren desert.
There were a few pieces of engineering equipment parked next to it, and engineers wearing safety helmets were making final adjustments around this strange-looking building.
Director Carson opened the Hummer door and walked out. He looked at the hemispherical egg in the desert and squinted his eyes.
"That's it?"
"Yes." Elon walked to the side of the road and smiled. He opened his arms and said, "Welcome to the Arizona oasis, this will be the new home of our future colonists. Even though it doesn't look beautiful from the outside, I can guarantee that its interior will be luxurious enough to surprise you. "
Director Carson stared at the giant egg and said, "You know I don't care about this. What I want to know is, are you sure our colonists can live safely in this strange building for 26 months?"
Musk smiled and said, "Of course, even though we don't have enough time to do a longer test, based on the change function of food, fresh water, oxygen, and other survival supplies, as long as the power supply is guaranteed, even if our colonists don't engage in any production activities, they can still survive for at least 30 months."
Director Carson asked, "How do you plan on sending it to Mars?"
"With our BFR super rocket, of course." Elon patted Director Carson on the shoulder and said, "Trust me, we are winning this competition. Everything is under control."
