At the Koro Islandairport, Jiang Chensaw one of the moderngreatestphysicists, ProfessorHawking on wheelchair.
在科罗岛机场,江晨见到了这位现代最伟大的物理学家之一,轮椅上的教授霍金。Howeverat this momentinhisappearance for a partandnetworkmuch-quotedpicture„Hawkingparalysis”different, sitsis pushingby the assistantonwheelchairhim, but the headwears, isFuture TechnologiesproductPhantom Helmet.
不过此刻他的扮相与网络上广为流传的图片“霍金瘫”不同,坐在轮椅上的他由助理推着,而头上戴着的,正是未来人科技出品的幻影头盔。„Seesyouvery muchhappily, Mr.Jiang Chen. Does not know that youdo have the meansto be ableonhelmetto open a smallseam? Wearshelmetto make the electricityconsonantsynthesistoolmakemefeel bettermuch, the doctorevensaid that Icanlive the lasttwoyears, butmyanythingcould not seeas the matter stands.”
“很高兴见到你,江晨先生。不知道你们有没有办法能在头盔上开个小缝?戴着头盔使用电子音合成工具让我好受了不少,医生甚至说我可以多活上两年,但这样一来我就什么也看不到了。”hearsword, Jiang Chengawked, immediatelyhā hāsaid with a smile.
闻言,江晨愣了下,随即哈哈笑道。„Iwill letundermytechnicianresearchthisissue, the difficultyshouldnot be big.”
“我会让我的技术员研究下这个问题的,难度应该不大。”„Thanked.” The electronicsoundreplied.
“非常感谢。”电子音回答道。ConsideringHawkingin the influence of scientific circles, Jiang Chenhas not refusedhimto visit the request of aerospacelaunching center. In some sense, hecompared with the researcher who United StatesNASAsends, canrepresent the world academic community.
考虑到霍金在科学界的影响力,江晨并没有拒绝他访问航天发射中心的请求。从某种意义上,他比美国nasa派来的研究员,更能代表世界学术界。Naturally, whichthingscandemonstrate,whichthingscannotdemonstrate, hehas the discretion.
当然了,哪些东西能够展示,哪些东西不能展示,他还是有分寸的。Goes by boatinislands that went to the launching centerto be , the Star Ring Tradingbodyguardreplaced the position of hisassistant, pushed the wheelchairto walkbyJiang Chen's.
乘船来到了发射中心所在的岛屿上,星环贸易的保镖接替了他助手的位置,推着轮椅走在江晨的旁边。„Hereisourdecoy launching, [The Star Ring 4]lifts offfromhere, that side is usedto launchothermodelrocket, ourrecentouter spaceactivityis somewhat frequent, basicallyhasprimary emissionmission every weeks.”Jiang Chenis introducing, whiletook into him the launching center.
“这边是我们的发射场,星环4号从这里升空,那边是用来发射别的型号的火箭,我们最近太空活动有些频繁,基本上每隔一个星期就有一次发射任务。”江晨一边介绍着,一边将他带进了发射中心内。„Enviablebudget.”Hawkingsays with emotion.
“令人羡慕的预算。”霍金感慨道。„BecauseIspendis not the money of taxpayer, butisownmoney.”Jiang Chensaid with a smile.
“因为我花的不是纳税人的钱,而是自己的钱。”江晨笑道。Enteredin the launching center, Kelvinwelcomed, took awaythreepeopleGround Command Center that is responsible forGuanghan CityColony. Inthere, 50manystaffbefore the computer, is processingworkon handbusily.
进入了发射中心内,克尔温迎了上来,将三人带去了负责广寒市殖民地的地面指挥中心。在那里,五十多名工作人员正在电脑前,忙碌地处理着手边的工作。Hawkinglethelphimpush the person of wheelchairto cast offhelmet, at this timehedoes not wantto speak, actuallyheonlywantsto have a look here to look like.霍金让帮他推轮椅的人摘掉了头盔,这时候他不想说话,他只想看看这里究竟长得什么样子。
Before Kelvinarrived at a computer, knockedseveralbuttonsontouch-screen, quick, a holographic imagingprojectionin the front of people, by the picture that holographic screentransmitted, wasfromGuanghan City384400 km away.克尔温来到了一台电脑前,在触屏上敲下了几个按钮,很快,一副全息影像投影在了众人的面前,透过全息屏幕传来的画面,正是来自384400千米外的广寒市。„HereisGuanghan CityColony, haswhatinstruction? Mr.Commander.” An astronautappearedin the lens, askedtoKelvin.
“这里是广寒市殖民地,有何吩咐?指挥官先生。”一名宇航员出现在了镜头中,向克尔温问道。„Reports the Colonycommoditycondition.”
“汇报殖民地物资状况。”„Good, pleasewait a bit......”
“好的,请稍等……”Listens to the astronautafter the Colonyoxygenandtap water, collectmoon dirtand other reports of commoditysituations, with the help of Star Ring Tradingbodyguard, Hawkingput onPhantom Helmet, voiced the heartfeltfeeling.
听完宇航员对殖民地氧气、饮用水、采集月壤等各项物资情况的汇报后,在星环贸易保镖的帮助下,霍金重新戴上了幻影头盔,发出了由衷的感慨。„Isaw the future.”
“我看到了未来。”„Is honored to winthisgreat honorvery much.”Jiang Chensaid with a smile.
“很荣幸能获此殊荣。”江晨笑道。
After stopping the moment, Hawkingcontinuesto say.
停顿了片刻后,霍金继续开口说道。„humanitycannotplacein a basketalleggs, thereforecannotplace a star the gambling stake. Ihad spokenthese wordslong before, butveryregrettable the Britaingovernmentor the United Statesgovernment, are never seriousit. Spends the money of taxpayerinIraq, forevercompared withthrowingcannot be seeing the prospect the outer spaceto be much better, eveneveryonewere clear, in the future there.

Verymarvelous, Icarus Paradoxand is not only suitable for the enterprise, is also suitableregardingcertainSuperpower.”
“人类不能把所有的鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里,所以不能将赌注放在一个星球。我很早以前就说过这句话,但很遗憾无论是英国政府还是美国政府,都从未将它当回事儿。将纳税人的钱花在伊拉克,永远要比扔在看不见前景的太空要好得多,即使所有人都清楚,未来就在那里。历史总是惊人的相似,哥伦布也曾游说过英国、法国、意大利和葡萄牙。很奇妙,伊卡洛斯悖论并不仅仅适用企业,对于某些超级大国来说同样适用。”„Standsbeforeyouthinks the bigentrepreneur.”Jiang Chensaid with a smile.
“可是站在你面前的就是以为大企业家。”江晨笑道。„Butyou are very young, youngalwaysgood.”With the electron of thatsynthesis, Hawkingspoke the significanceunclearlywords.
“但你还很年轻,年轻总是好的。”用那合成的电子,霍金说了句意义不明地话。Jiang Chenis impossibleto treathere, the groupalsohas the conference of fieldaboutVR Cityto wait forhimto managein the afternoon. After exchanging the visit the mattergivesKelvin, Jiang Chenis being aboutto leave the aerospacelaunching center, butat this moment, hisvisionactuallyfellon the Hawkingwheelchairsuddenly.江晨不可能一直待在这里,下午集团还有场关于v日ty的会议正等着他去主持。将交流访问的事交给克尔温后,江晨正准备离开航天发射中心,可就在这时,他的目光却是突然落在了霍金的轮椅上。„Whatmatterhas?”
“有什么事吗?”As ifnoticesthis, has taken offhelmetHawking, the fingerselectson the keyboard of arm rest, the electricityconsonantaskedtoJiang Chen.
仿佛是注意到了这点,已经摘下头盔的霍金,手指在扶手的键盘上点了点,用电子音向江晨问道。„A little matter,”Jiang Chennods, smilinglyseesthisold person, „Ihave a proposition, does not know whether youare interested?”
“有点事,”江晨点了点头,笑眯眯地看着这位老人,“我有个提议,不知道你是否感兴趣?”
......
……At this moment, inUnited StatesWashingtonColombiaSpecial Region, in the Congressbuildingis holding a specialpublic hearing.
此刻,远在美国华盛顿的哥伦比亚特区,国会大厦内正在召开一场特别的听证会。„...... WemustrestartApollo Projectimmediately! Star Ring Tradinghas startedMooncolonizing, weled the worldmostcenturyin the moon landing, nowactuallyfallsontheirbehindon the contrary. Regarding the Americanpeople, thisis not acceptable!”
“……我们必须立刻重启阿波罗计划!星环贸易已经开始月球殖民,我们在登月领先了世界大半个世纪,现在却反倒落在了他们的后面。对于美国人民来说,这是不可接受的!”Standsinhearingseatbefore, NASAMinisterCharles Boldenis speakingtoRepresentative of public hearingfervently, triesto convincetheiragainactivate(d)Apollo Project. HoweversitsRepresentativeactuallyperformance the interest on hearingseatlacks, somepeopletransferset pen to paper, the usedpersonselects the eyebrowto look atBolden, but alsosomehave turned the nextpage the documentsimply.
站在听证席前,nasa的部长查尔斯?博尔登慷慨激昂地向听证会的议员们演说着,试图说服他们重新启动阿波罗计划。然而坐在听证席上的议员们却表现的兴趣缺缺,有的人转着笔,用的人挑着眉毛看着博尔登,还有的干脆已经将文件翻到了下一页。Since1972, the budget of NASAhas not increased, insteadwas reducedapproximately75%, andmaintained of more than 40year. Unlike the Kennedyperiod, thenNASAwantedto applyto budget, did not needtroublesome, onlyto needwitha few words„Sovietsalsoto do!”, The bigbudgetcanapproveimmediately.
从1972年以来,nasa的预算就没有增加过,反而被削减了约75%,并保持了四十多年之久。与肯尼迪时期不同,当时的nasa想要申请预算,根本不需要这么麻烦,只需要用一句话“苏.联人也在搞!”,大笔的预算马上会批下来。Butnow, Presidenthas nodded, so long asCongressis willingto pay the budget, restartsApollo Project, howevermakesBoldenfeelwhatdespairs, Congressis not interestedinplace of the without owner384400 km away.
而现在,总统已经点头,只要国会肯下拨预算,就重启阿波罗计划,然而让博尔登感到绝望的是,国会对于384400公里外的无主之地并不感兴趣。„Are the Americanpeopleunacceptable? HowIfelt that United States* is a person who participates inStar Ring Tradingastronautmany?”Representativesendsto askwith a smile.
“美国人民不可接受?我怎么感觉美国*名参加星环贸易航天员的人不少?”一名议员笑着发问道。„Do youfeellike thiscorrectly?”Boldenasked.
“你觉得这样正确吗?”博尔登反问道。„Nois correct,”satinmiddleRepresentativeselected the minute bookwith the fountain pen, „Ineededyouto tellme, did Apollo Projecteliminate can the advantage that whatwebroughtto see? Besidesboostingnational confidence?”
“没什么正不正确,”坐在正中间的议员用钢笔点了点记录本,“我需要你告诉我,阿波罗计划除能给我们带来什么可以看见的好处?除了提振国民信心外?”Boldenis at a loss for words, after long time, pushesa few words.博尔登不由语塞,半晌后才挤出来一句话。„...... Notalladvantagecansee.”
“……并不是所有的好处都能看见。”SeveralRepresentativesmile, sitsshrugsinfirstthatRepresentative.
几名议员相视一笑,坐在首位的那名议员耸了耸肩。„The advantage that but can only see, canconvince the taxpayerto take out money.”
“但只有看得见的好处,才能说服纳税人掏钱。”
After the public hearingended, Boldenreturned toNASAOffice, ruthlesslypreparing the documentfellon the table.
听证会结束后,博尔登回到了nasa的办公室,狠狠地将准备的文件摔到了桌上。„Congresswas discussing that aboutraisingresearch and developmentnewanti-ballisticArtillery System, and budget of anti-EMPweapon, thisis the issue of great urgency, weconvincedtheirodds of success are almost zero.” The assistantsfollow the enteringgate, took the gateto sayconveniently.
“国会正在讨论关于上调研发新型反导系统,以及反emp武器的预算,这是更迫在眉睫的问题,我们说服他们的胜算几乎为零。”助手紧随其后的走进门来,顺手带上了门说道。„Whatmeaningthat is Hillary?”Boldensaidannoyedly.
“那希拉里又是什么意思?”博尔登恼火地说道。„Shepossiblydrew a caketous.” The assistantssmile bitterlyto say.
“她可能只是给我们画了个饼。”助手苦笑道。Butat this moment, the gatewas shoved opensuddenly, NASAworkwalked, was placed a newspaperon the desk, the facial expressionsaidexcitedly.
可就在这时,门突然被推开了,一名nasa的办公员走了进来,将一份报纸摆在了办公桌上,神情激动地说道。„Has a look atthisquickly! This!”
“快看看这个!还有这个!”Boldenis frowningwith the newspaper, whenseeswas being drawn the writing of redcircle, the eyeimmediatelystaresin a big wayquickraised.博尔登皱着眉头拿过了报纸,当看到被画着红圈的文字时,眼睛顿时瞪大的快凸了出来。Theyunexpectedly!
他们竟然!Wait!
等等!At this moment, hiseyeonebright, received the newspaper, immediatelywalkstowardout of the door.
就在这时,他眼睛一亮,将报纸收了起来,立刻向门外走去。„Do youwantto go?”
“您是要去哪儿?”„White House! Ouropportunitiescame!”
“白宫!我们的机会来了!”Stays behindtwopeople that a facecompelledignorant, Boldenvanishesin the entrance.( To be continued.)
留下了一脸懵逼的二人,博尔登消失在了门口。(未完待续。)
