Pennsylvania avenue No. 1600. 宾夕法尼亚大街1600号。 Starting from a early morning, here is a busy scene. 从一大清早开始,这里就是一片忙碌的景象。 Thanks to China person, since these days the reporter, not only these talked endlessly, these read the private group of draft to represent like the reread machine with the opposition congressman, is almost creating obstacles for them always, doing did can probably solve what problem to be the same. 托了华国人的福,这段时间以来不只是那些喋喋不休的记者,还有那些像复读机一样念稿子的民间团体代表和反对派议员,几乎无时无刻不在刁难着他们,搞得好像这么做就能解决什么问题一样。 However, making the White House feel truly badly battered was also not this. 不过,令白宫真正感到焦头烂额的还不是这个。 As takes the Moon Palace number to complete, as well as establishment of broad cold city special economic zone as the basic point cislunar economic integration strategy, they had been flung thoroughly after behind. 随着以月宫号为基点的地月经济一体化战略完成、以及广寒市经济特区的建立,他们已经彻底被甩在了身后。 If can also frequent each other while ago in the space industry with China, now has almost developed the situation of being unable to save the situation. 如果说前段时间还能和华国在航天领域上你来我往一下的话,现在几乎已经发展到了无力回天的地步。 To put it bluntly, facing the mature Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology and plasma propulsion technology, left the existing space of chemical rocket to be small. They did not lose in strategically, are caught the neck by the technical bottleneck purely. 说白了,面对成熟的可控聚变技术和等离子推进技术,留给化学火箭的生存空间已经非常非常小了。他们并不是输在了战略上,纯粹是被技术瓶颈卡住了脖子。 But in any event, lost lost. 但无论如何,输了就是输了。 Any discerning person can look, this space race they have been incapable of continue dispute. Now most essential how not to win, but how „dignity” conclusion. 任何明眼人都能看得出来,这场太空竞赛他们已经无力继续较量下去。现在最关键的不是如何取胜,而是如何“体面”的结束。 „The latest news, this time...... they announced to UN and international aerospace organization from the China state aerospace bureau sparks/Mars colonizes the road map of plan, plans to complete 200 people of scales on sparks/Mars in five years the permanent settlement, is engaged in scientific research exploration.” “最新消息,这次是来自华国国家航天局……他们向联合国和国际航天组织公布了火星殖民计划的路线图,打算在五年之内在火星上建成一座两百人规模的永久性的定居点,从事科研勘探活动。” „Moreover, the latest information that transmits from Arizona Observation Station, Xu Fu colonizing ship has left the earth-moon system smoothly, according to the current acceleration continues to operate, will arrive in sparks/Mars encirclement track most quickly on the 14 th.” “另外,从亚利桑那州观测站传来的最新情报,徐福号殖民舰已经顺利离开地月系统,按照当前加速度继续运行,最快将于14日抵达火星环绕轨道。” Tired listens to the subordinate to report the work, sits in the desk following president, rubs the forehead that turned sour with the index finger and thumb. 一脸疲惫地听着属下汇报工作,坐在办公桌后面的总统,用食指和拇指揉了揉发酸的眉心。 From becoming president to the present, he does not know that for the future of this country, worried white many hair. 从就任总统一职到现在,他已经不知道为这个国家的未来,愁白了多少根头发。 Perhaps in many presidents in American history, has no sad compared with him. 在美利坚历史上的诸多总统之中,恐怕没有哪位比他更悲催的了。 If must look for one to come out, he will make a bet, that can also be his next, or at least after his term. 如果非要找一个出来,他敢打赌,那也一定会是他的下一任,或者至少在他的任期之后。 „Continues to maintain the attention...... to spread the news except for the gate of waiting deep space that side, temporarily we have nothing can do.” “继续保持关注吧……除了等待深空之门那边传来好消息,暂时我们也没有什么可以做的。” Hears these words, stood Chief Casson in office, on the face appeared an awkward expression, pretended not to hear to look to one side. 听到这句话,站在办公室中的卡森局长,脸上浮现了一丝尴尬的表情,装作没有听见看向了一边。 Felt about the president negative attitude worried, stood knits the brows to say in nearby secretary of state. 对总统消极的态度感到了担忧,站在一旁的国务卿皱眉说道。 „What does not do is not a great idea, from the current popular feelings condition, the people have displayed the disaffection to our aloof. I am worried in this way-” “什么也不做不是一个好主意,从目前的舆情状况来看,民众对我们的无动于衷已经表现出了不满。我担心在这样下去-” The president did not say patiently. 总统不耐烦地说道。 „What great idea therefore you do have?” “所以你有什么好主意吗？” „Great idea to be far, but...... I thought that at least is a remedial measure.” “好主意谈不上,但……我觉得至少算是一个补救措施。” „?” “哦？” „Although many Americans are not willing to acknowledge, but in fact, we had lost the best competitive period,” looked askance to look at aloof Chief Casson, the secretary of state continued saying that „their Tiangong led our ’ the gate of deep space ‚ is too many, the Moon research station and imcrc collider won over the support of international academics, we wanted to delay their economic development to turn into an impractical matter through the aerospace competition.” “尽管许多美国人并不愿意承认,但事实上,我们已经失去了最佳的竞争时期,”侧目看了无动于衷的卡森局长一眼,国务卿继续说道,“他们的天宫号领先我们的’深空之门‘太多,月球科考站和imcrc对撞机又争取到了国际学术界的支持,我们想要通过航天竞赛来拖延他们的经济发展已经变成了一件不切实际的事情。” Silent a while, the secretary of state continued to say. 沉默了一会儿,国务卿继续说道。 „Continues to tow like the present, passive instead is we.” “继续像现在这样拖下去,被动的反而是我们。” „My suggestion is, ended this meaningless competition as soon as possible, will soon make our relations restore to the normal track on. If we are unable to defeat them, then the cooperation is to each other good choice.” “我的建议是,尽早结束这场毫无意义的竞赛,早日让我们的关系恢复到正常的轨道上。如果我们无法打败他们,那么合作是对彼此都好的选择。” In office completely silent. 办公室内鸦雀无声。 Although knows that this is the best choice, but wants to make such choice, the needed courage is actually not the average person can take. 虽然知道这是最好的选择,但想要做出这样的选择,需要的勇气却不是一般人能够拿出来的。 Perhaps initially started this competition is a wrong decision. 或许当初发动这场竞赛就是一个错误的决定。 However now says anything already late. 不过现在说什么都已经晚了。 Must have a person to stand, for this out of control train, steps on to get on the brakes. 总得有一个人站出来,为这台已经失控的火车,踩下刹车。 After silent for a long time, the president of keeping silent sighed finally, said slowly. 沉默了许久之后,默不作声的总统最终叹了口气,缓缓开口说道。 „Right that you said.” “你说的对。” „Was the time finished all.” “是时候结束一切了。” Why does not know, when hears Mr. President to say these words, Chief Casson always felt that he old more than ten years old seemed to be same in the flash. 不知道为什么,在听到总统先生说出这句话的时候,卡森局长总感觉他仿佛在一瞬间老了十几岁一样。 Casson but who in any event, hears these words, relaxes finally. 但无论如何,听到这句话的卡森,总算是松了口气。 Before arriving here, he most is worried will be the president will carry through to the end tenaciously, will act willfully to carry out manned ascends the fire plan, will then throw on all issues next altogether. 在来到这里之前,他最担心的就是总统将固执进行到底,一意孤行地推行载人登火计划,然后将所有的问题一股脑地扔到下一任身上。 If is really so, that to America certainly is a disaster. 如果真是如此的话,那对于美利坚而言一定是一场灾难。 However is good because of him is sane, now steps on to get on the brakes is not too late. 不过好在他还算理智,现在踩下刹车还不算太晚。 „We need a turning point of restore bilateral relations, lets the people of both countries to accept, and makes us have the stair to be possible below turning point.” “我们需要一个修复双边关系的契机,一个让两国人民都能接受,并且也让我们有台阶可下的契机。” Since has made the decision , there is nothing hesitant. 既然已经做出了决定,就没什么可犹豫的了。 The dispirited aura sweeps away from the face, the president who all put down thoroughly, on the face restored the self-confident expression. 颓废的气息从脸上一扫而空,将一切彻底放下的总统,脸上重新恢复了自信的表情。 Looks very much satisfied own boss made the correct choice, the secretary of state expression nods with ease, supplies ideas to say for him. 很满意地看着自己的上司做出了正确的选择,国务卿表情轻松地点了点头,为他出谋划策说道。 „Yes, we need such a turning point. The promulgation of international material research learned alliance is a good opportunity, very much what is a pity was by Lu Zhou turning down.” “是的,我们都需要这么一个契机。原本国际材料研究学会联盟的颁奖就是一个不错的机会,但很可惜的是被陆舟给推掉了。” , He continued to say. 顿了顿,他继续说道。 „But, although Lu Zhou oneself cannot come, but I heard that his student will as if go to Boston, replaces him to attend in April of international material research learned alliance the conference, and will replace him to publish in the conference in " Future » on paper a while ago reports.” “不过,虽然陆舟本人来不了,但我听说他的学生似乎会前往波士顿,代替他出席国际材料研究学会联盟的四月会议,并在会议上代替他就前段时间发表在《未来》上的论文进行汇报。” The president frowns to say gently: „A scholar will typically have many students.” 总统轻轻皱了下眉头说道:“一名学者通常会有很多学生。” „But is always special, for example this Ms. Han Mengqi.” On the face of secretary of state reveals. Had/Left the self-confident smiling face , to continue saying that „according to the information that we investigate, she is Chen Yushan cousin, but that Ms. Chen's status is not no need to say much, a while ago with that Lu Zhou became engaged. According to the China custom, Academician Lu should be this Ms. Han Mengqi...... ‚brother-in-law’.” “但总有一名是特别的,比如这位韩梦琪女士。”国务卿的脸上露.出了自信的笑容,继续说道,“根据我们调查到的信息,她是陈玉珊的表妹,而那位陈女士的身份不必多说,正是前段时间与陆舟订婚的那位。按照华国的习俗,陆院士应该算是这位韩梦琪女士的……‘姐夫’。” Because the pronunciation of this word is quite strange, he read successfully to read several times right it. 因为这个词的发音比较奇怪,他念了好几次才成功将它念对。 Looks at own secretary of state strangely, the president hesitates is opening the mouth to say. 一辆古怪地看着自己的国务卿,总统迟疑着开口道。 „You always impossible...... to confer her the annual prize of learned alliance.” “你总不可能……把学会联盟的年度奖颁给她吧。” „Naturally is impossible! That side the international material research learned alliance is impossible to accept such absurd matter, but...... we can look for a substitute commodity, for example sets up an international progress young scholar award and so on award item, the name of by International material research Society Alliance awards alone to her.” “当然不可能！国际材料研究学会联盟那边也不可能接受这么荒唐的事情,不过……我们可以寻找一个代替品,比如设立一个国际进步青年学者奖之类的奖项,以国际材料研究学会联盟的名义单独授予给她。” At this point, on the face of secretary of state revealed wiped the smile, continued to say with the self-confident tone. 说到这里,国务卿的脸上露出了一抹微笑,用自信的语气继续说道。 „Then, we can taking this opportunity, invite her and other prize-winners attend the evening banquet of White House, at the appointed time China ambassador also there.” “然后,我们可以借着这个契机,邀请她和其他获奖者参加白宫的晚宴,届时华国的大使也会在那里。” „If that side China also has with us restores the idea of relations.” “如果华国那边也有和我们修复关系的想法。” „All become simply.” “一切都会变得简单许多。” …… …… ( Besides compared with the heart, delivers the small gift words to the role, can add the star shining value ~( /w \ *))( Suggested .jpg crazily) (除了比心之外,给角色送小礼物的话,也是可以加星耀值的哦~(/w\*))(疯狂暗示.jpg)
