Moscow, Kremlin. √ regarding Space Elevator of completion in west Pacific Ocean Country of Xin territorial waters, here is holding this special conference. 莫斯科,克里姆林宫。√围绕着竣工于西太平洋新国领海内的太空电梯,这里正召开这一场特殊的会议。 „yesterday, the rm- 32 o rocket motive that Star Ring Trading will promise sold to us. The reverse-engineering activate(d), within one year, the new rocket motive will have replaced the obsolete aerospace motive at the latest, we will use for a year, jumps over United States to spend for dozens years to cast off our distances in Aerospace Domain.” “就在昨天,星环贸易将许诺的rm-32o火箭动机卖给了我们。逆向工程已经启动,最晚一年之内,新的火箭动机就将取代老旧的航天动机,我们将用一年的时间,越美国花费数十年在航天领域甩开我们的距离。” „However unfortunately, Star Ring Trading gives us at the same time the treasured sword this, lagged behind the curtain of entire stage. The economy, politics and culture, the military, tomorrow's all can be different from today. What because there is unknown, but unknown then means infinitely.” “然而不幸的是,星环贸易将这把宝剑交给我们的同时,也拉下了整个舞台的帷幕。无论是经济、政治、文化、还是军事,明天的一切都会与今天不同。因为在那里的是未知,而未知便意味着无限。” At this point, Russia aerospace bureau chief Oleg Ostapenko hung down the feature, said the fact with an artistically view, looked to Russia Federation board member present, as well as sat President Putin that reigned. 说到这里,俄国航天署署长奥列格·奥斯塔片科低垂了眉目,用一种艺术性地说法道出了事实,看向了在座的诸位俄罗斯联邦委员会委员,以及坐在位的总统普金。 After stopping the moment, Oleg then said. 停顿了片刻后,奥列格接着说道。 „fellow, the old time had finished.” “伙计们,旧的时代已经结束了。” The deep breath the one breath, Ministry of National Defense Minister looked that to did not say Putin, small sound said. 深呼吸了一口气,国防部部长看向了一言不的普金,小声道。 „If Space Elevator can becoming a ton commodity of escorts to Outer Space, then our proud Space Defense Force will become a joke.” “如果太空电梯能将成吨的物资送往外层空间,那么我们引以为豪的空天防御部队将成为一个笑话。” Putin slightly leaning leaning head. 普金微微偏了偏头。 „Fortunately our relations and are they good?” “所幸我们的关系与他们不错？” „Is this, but we cannot pin all hopes in the good diplomatic relations,” Ministry of National Defense Minister lowered the sound , to continue the small sound said by Putin, „United Nations to Space Elevator the security and rational utilization will make the discussion, I will approve and Country of Xin very much maintain the good bilateral relations, but only will the strength coordinated alliance serve our benefits not? Weakens them appropriately......” “是这样的,但我们不能将所有的希望都寄托于良好的外交关系上,”国防部部长压低了声音,在普金旁边继续小声道,“联合国将对太空电梯的安全性与合理利用做出讨论,我很赞同与新国维持良好的双边关系,但只有实力对等的联盟关系才更符合我们的利益不是吗？适当的削弱他们……” Putin lifted starting, broke the Ministry of National Defense Minister word. 普金抬了下手,打断了国防部部长的言。 „If New York United Nations is doomed to become the history, what significance then we do feel embarrassed them also to have on United Nations?” “如果纽约的联合国注定将成为历史,那么我们在联合国上为难他们又有什么意义？” ...... …… In the Washington Congress building, is holding a special public hearing similarly. 远在华盛顿的国会大厦,同样正召开着一场特别的听证会。 At the meeting, faces numerous plane to sink water Congressman and expert, as well as scholar from all walks of life, National Aeronautics and Space Administration( NASA) Director Charles Bolden is reading out the draft in hand. 会上,面对着众位面沉似水的国会议员、专家、以及各界学者,国家航空航天局(nasa)局长查尔斯?博尔登念着手中的稿子。 „Although Congress has tried to reduce our budget, but we are advancing the space program with the limited budget as before routinely. The result that for dozens years yield is very big, big making one is flabbergasted. Our not only line of sight the privatization of outer space industry, even causes the face-saving project that this seemingly was in arrears, finally line of sight profit.” “虽然国会一直试图压缩我们的预算,但我们依旧用有限的预算将太空计划按部就班地推进着。数十年来取得的成果很大,大的令人咋舌。我们不但视线了太空产业的民营化,甚至使这原本看似亏钱的面子工程,最终视线了盈利。” „Yes, we had been in the lead.” Mr. Bolden, swept Congressman one on hearing seat at this point meaningfully, „we once made the world believe, Statue of Liberty is in the future.” “是的,我们曾经领先过。”博尔登先生说到这里顿了顿,意味深长地扫了听证席上的国会议员们一眼,“我们曾一度让世界相信,自由女神像才是未来。” Past these to cut the NASA budget, aggressive Congress at the public hearing budgeted the committee member, at this moment such as defeated cockerel resulted, low head, does not dare awkwardly with this dark-skinned old person to line of sight. 昔日那些为了削减nasa预算,在听证会上咄咄逼人的国会预算委员,此刻均如斗败了的公鸡似得,低下了脑袋,尴尬地不敢与这位皮肤黝黑的老人对上视线。 Sat Secretary of State Kerry on public hearing committee member seat coughed gently. 坐在听证会委员席上的国务卿克里轻轻咳了咳。 „Here is the Congress public hearing, is not the Federation court, now we should discuss whose responsibility does not investigate, but how should deal.” “这里是国会听证会,不是联邦法院的,我们现在应该讨论的不是追究谁的责任,而是该如何应对。” „I do not have the meaning of accountability, Mr. Kerry.” Mr. Bolden looked at Kerry, „, but I must remind, we should not violate in the same issue two wrong.” “我没有问责的意思,克里先生。”博尔登先生看了眼克里,“但我必须提醒诸位,我们不应该在相同的问题上犯两次错。” „Is your opinion?” Sits Hillary on hearing seat asks. “你的意见是？”坐在听证席上的希拉里问道。 „Expands the budget of NASA, we must start the research immediately to the Space Elevator technology. Compares China and Russia, we have the exceptional superiority in the global influence. We can definitely duplicate Space Elevator in Atlantic Ocean!” “扩大nasa的预算,我们必须立刻开始对太空电梯技术的研究。相比起华国和俄国,我们在全球影响力上有着得天独厚的优势。我们完全可以在大西洋复制一座太空电梯！” „If initiates a project, how many funds you do need?” Hillary looks at Bolden, asked earnestly, „I referred, from research to completion.” “如果立项,你需要多少资金？”希拉里看着博尔登,认真地问道,“我指的是,从研到竣工。” Bolden turned the last page the draft directly, attracted the nose, the language said fast: „If we can have the technical support from Future Group there, investment budget probably in 20,000,000,000- 40,000,000,000. If starts to start from the research, NASA needs 200,000,000,000 USD, can with beginning construction before 2020 at the latest.” 博尔登直接将稿子翻到了最后一页,吸了吸鼻子,语飞快地说道:“如果我们能从未来人集团那里得到技术上的支持,投资预算大概在2oo亿-4oo亿。如果从研开始做起,nasa需要2ooo亿美元,最晚在2o年前能拿开始动工。” The public hearing committee member present look at each other in blank dismay, the complexion of expert from all walks of life also quite ugly. Hillary and Kerry look at each other one, from each other eye, saw that obvious disappointment as if by prior agreement. 在座的听证会委员面面相觑,各界专家的脸色也相当的难看。希拉里与克里对视一眼,不约而同地从彼此的眼中,看到了那明显的失望。 Help? How probably to get the help of Future Group? If this technology were mastered by over two company, then they meet certainly to come to sell oneself technology, to obtain the Space Elevator project order of United States government. However now grasps company only this one of the Space Elevator technology, where works as „labor contractor” possibly to make money compared with the monopoly? 帮助？怎么可能获得未来人集团的帮助？如果这项技术被两家以上的公司掌握,那么他们当然会自己上门来推销自己的技术,以求得美国政府的太空电梯工程订单。然而现在掌握了太空电梯技术的公司只此一家,当个“包工头”哪里可能比垄断更赚钱？ As for the budget application of that 200,000,000,000 USD, let alone Hillary will not nod, Budget Committee on hearing seat shot dead directly this project. 至于那2ooo亿美元的预算申请,别说希拉里不会点头,听证席上的预算委员会就直接将这个项目枪毙掉了。 „200,000,000,000? God, this money enough we built two aircraft carrier battle groups!” Really, Hillary did not have the words, opposition party Congressman then taunted in a tone with said that „, only if China continued to borrow us money, where otherwise did this sum of money leave? You will count on that the tax payment artificial this indulgent project does pay?” “2ooo亿？上帝,这笔钱都足够我们打造两支航母战斗群了！”果然,希拉里还没话,一名反对党的国会议员便语带嘲讽地说道,“除非华国继续借我们钱,否则这笔钱从哪里出？难道你会指望纳税人为这个异想天开的项目买单吗？” This is not the project of indulging in fantasy, had finished in some people a while ago secretly. 这不是异想天开的项目,就在前段时间已经有人偷偷完工了。 Bolden just wants saying that public hearing on is at the Aerospace Domain expert of neutral stand saying: „The United States native place also has considerable numerous personal aerospace company. We have used to prove the enthusiasm and innovation of private enterprise for half a century. Debates unceasingly for difficult problem that is unable to solve with it here, why doesn't ask the opinion of spae company?” 博尔登刚想这么说,听证会的上处在中立立场的航天领域专家言道:“美国本土也拥有相当众多的私人航天公司。我们已经用半个世纪证明了私人企业的积极性与创新力。与其在这里为无法解决的难题争论不休,为什么不问问spae公司的意见？” The Bolden complexion is somewhat ugly. 博尔登的脸色有些难看。 Asks the opinion of spae company? When what you spae company is? Mysterious conch? 问问spae公司的意见？你当spae公司是什么？神奇海螺吗？ Before the public hearing starts, he has looked for spae company founder Elon Musk, inquired that constructs the United States own Space Elevator feasibility. However Elon Musk the reply was makes him feel deep being incapable. 早在听证会开始之前,他就已经找过spae公司的创始人埃隆·马斯克,询问建造美国自己的太空电梯的可行性。然而埃隆·马斯克的的回答却是令他感到了深深的无力。 According to Star Ring Trading already the information that emits, if United States wants to construct similar Space Elevator, since must first start to study from the elevator material of most foundation. 根据星环贸易已经放出的情报,如果美国想要建造一座类似的太空电梯,必须先从最基础的电梯材料开始研究起。 200 billion? 两千亿？ With to the thing that Budget Committee looks, always conservative estimate. 拿给预算委员会看的东西,从来都只是保守估计。 After the public hearing ended, Kerry and Hillary walk shoulder to shoulder to the direction of garage. On the road, two people mentioned discussed the fruitless Space Elevator issue a moment ago. 听证会结束后,克里与希拉里并肩走在向车库的方向。在路上,两人说起了刚才讨论无果的太空电梯问题。 „Actually he does not care about breakthrough of Country of Xin in aerospace technology to cause anything to affect to United States, he only cares about the budget of NASA.” “他根本不在意新国在航天技术上的突破究竟会对美国造成什么影响,他只在意nasa的预算。” „You are the expert in international issue, Mr. Kerry. I want to listen to your opinion.” Hillary said unemotionally. “你是国际问题专家,克里先生。我想听听你的意见。”希拉里面无表情地说道。 Lowered the sound, Kerry said earnestly. 压低了声音,克里认真地说道。 „We can exert pressure on Country of Xin with the aid of United Nations! This is a big cake, Russia and China should not give up slicing on Space Elevator. So long as we when the minute cake make the concessions slightly, they will agree that we jointly to the proposition that Star Ring Trading exerts pressure on. Outer Space belongs to entire humanity, Space Elevator this worldwide basis project should also share by entire humanity......”( to be continued.) 8 “我们可以借助联合国对新国施压！这是块大蛋糕,俄罗斯和华国应该也不会放弃在太空电梯上分一杯羹。我们只要在分蛋糕的时候稍作让步,他们会同意我们联合向星环贸易施压的提议。外层空间属于全人类,太空电梯这一世界性工程也理应由全人类分享……”(未完待续。)八
