"How do you feel? Mr. James." Chen Mengchuan smiled and looked at the tall, well-proportioned white man next to him, James Fletcher, one of the current heads of United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
James took a deep breath, looked at the red planet behind the completely transparent graphene crystal light plate in front of him, and slowly answered, "It's unbelievable, until now I feel like I'm dreaming, Chen, you China, you Tenzhi Technology, there is no doubt that it is ahead of NASA! Nowadays, NASA has insufficient funds to even land on the moon, but you not only landed on the moon, but also landed on Mars, and even built Martian base on Mars!"
"You deserve the respect of our entire NASA, Chen."
Toni looked at James Fletcher with some surprise. You must know that this current head of NASA is confident and arrogant in countless media and public occasions. Of course, these are all in the exploration and understanding of the universe and space.
You must know that NASA is a completely independent agency of the U. S. federal government, responsible for formulating and implementing the U. S. civilian space program, and conducting aeronautical science and space science research. As one of the current heads of NASA, James Fletcher's work and authority can be said to be the top of NASA, and can even be said to be the top of the American aerospace industry.
"Toni, I see surprise in your eyes, right?" James Fletcher asked modestly.
Toni nodded calmly. He was a little surprised that James said that NASA's funds are so tight now.
James sighed, "NASA's current situation is worse than you believe. Your moon landing, Tiansuo, and today's Martian base, although deeply The United States Association has been stimulated, but Congress has no additional support for NASA. Congress believes that your ability to land on Mars is based on super Artificial Intelligence, based on new dense steel, gravity technology and space shuttle technology..."
"So the new big projects established by Congress are all related to these aspects? And then there is no way to allocate funds to NASA?" Toni followed his words and asked.
James nodded and smiled bitterly, "There is no doubt that the resolution of the Congress is correct, isn't it?"
Chen Mengchuan could clearly see James's loneliness from the sidelines.
America's NASA has been established for more than 60 years. It was once established to compete with the former Russia in the space race. After the former Russia took the lead in successfully sending the first artificial satellite "Sputnik 1" into space more than 60 years ago, America's attention officially shifted to the development of its own nascent space industry. Then United States will be shocked by this, which they call "Sputnik crisis", and eventually NASA, a new independent agency, will be established half a year later to lead all non-military space operations of America.
Over the next many years, NASA continued to innovate and develop, becoming the first-level flag-bearer in the aerospace industry on Earth.
"NASA's contribution to the earth's data over a long period of time has been indelible." Chen Mengchuan praised it somewhat awkwardly.
James smiled, "You also said that that was the past. In any case, NASA lost, in terms of the exploration of the universe. But losing to you is not unfair at all. Chen, you are the real person I have ever seen who has a heart for the stars and the sea."
"Thank you for your compliment, James." Chen Mengchuan grinned.
"Try to be kind to them if you can."
Chen Mengchuan nodded. He knew that what James was talking about was the more than 300 aerospace scientific research talents that Tenzhi Technology had successively recruited from NASA. These talents had filled Tenzhi Technology's shortcomings in aerospace. For this, of course he knew to treat them well.
"You are a great man, Chen." James smiled.
"Oh, James, please don't continue to put your hat on me, otherwise we won't be able to continue chatting." Chen Mengchuan laughed, pulled up an interface, and clicked on one of the data information panels.
"This is a thermal image of Mars? It's really clear."
Chen Mengchuan nodded. "Yes, the thermal imaging map of Mars, but there are many strange data areas that do not meet the expected values, and there are quite a few. I would like to ask you to help us analyze what is the possible reason for this."
James pulled over the interface and slid it carefully, looking at the data information above. This is a large table and picture area.
He ignored the more intuitive picture area, but directly pointed at the actual temperature imaging data report. Although the amount of data on it was not as intuitive as the picture, more data content was all on the data report.
After comparing the temperature data and altitude data on the temperature imaging, James quickly discovered a lot of things that were not right.
"The temperature in these areas seems to be different from the surrounding temperature, and the difference is somewhat large." James pointed to several data points.
"Such individual temperature anomalies are obviously not caused by geothermal heat. If conditions permit, we may be able to learn more information by digging them out. Compared with just looking at the surface of Mars, these places are no different from other places." James said.
Chen Mengchuan nodded. "Our exploration type Multi-Arm Crab has already gone and will arrive soon."
"It's really jealous." James sighed. He was deeply envious of Tenzhi Technology's Multi-Arm Crab and Multi-Arm Crab's comprehensive functions. NASA's Mars exploration robot has a relatively limited core function, mainly data collection. Although it has a hole-turning function, it is not able to penetrate too deep into the surface layer.
"There is nothing to be jealous of, James, if you bring your team to join Tianzhi, and we are not worried that you will be America's spy, the most important thing between people is trust, isn't it?" Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.
"Holy Spirit is above, we don't know how willing we are to jump out. But then United States and NASA will be willing to let him go." James laughed.
[Ladies and gentlemen, we will arrive at Martian base in 3 minutes. During the final flight, for the sake of safety, please look for handrails nearby to prevent possible bumps...]
A beep sounded on the radio.
"Welcome to Mars, Mr. James." Chen Mengchuan looked at James with a smile and said to him.
James took a deep breath and tried to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"This will be the most memorable day of my life."
