The starry sky hotel is located in the heavenly palace city most central section, is the entire heavenly palace city most luxurious business hotel, is the preferred hosts of various heavyweight academic conferences. 星空大酒店位于天宫市最中央的地段,是整个天宫市最豪华的商务酒店,同时也是各种重量级学术会议的首选举办地。 Speaking of this hotel, actually is only left over Brand Starry Sky Technology also to have a big origin with the present together. In the past the heavenly palace city just constructed the city time, Starry Sky Technology once invested a First Year sum of money to be used in the development foundation facility here very much, however it is a pity that because of the poor management reason, this giant cannot support by that time. 说到这个酒店,其实和如今只剩下一块牌子的星空科技还有着不小的渊源。当年天宫市刚刚建市的时候,星空科技曾经在这里投了很大一笔钱用于开发基础设施,然而遗憾的是,因为经营不善的缘故,这家巨头并没能撑到那个时候。 But the property rights of this hotel, sold off in the 1950s to a local real estate company. Although by the Lu Zhou present financial resource, wants to buy it to be very easy, but he has not actually operated the interest of hotel. 而这家酒店的所有权,也在上个世纪五十年代被变卖给了当地的一家地产公司。虽然以陆舟现在的财力,想要将它买回来很容易,但他本人却并没有经营酒店的兴趣。 Let alone Starry Sky Technology remains a empty shell now, even if really gave to buy, only feared also how must to operate the matter had a headache, made it maintain the present situation is still good would rather. 何况星空科技现在就剩个空壳,就算真给买回来了,只怕还得为如何运营的事情而头疼,倒不如就让它维持现状也挺好。 Next morning, goes downstairs eats meal on the way, Lu Zhou met one also to come from the scholar of Earth. Perhaps is because too famous the reason on Earth, this young fellow see him far away, then waves to greet to him excitedly. 翌日清晨,下楼吃饭的途中,陆舟遇到了一位同样来自地球的学者。或许是因为自己在地球上太出名的缘故,这位小伙子大老远看到他,便兴奋地向他招手打了声招呼。 Thought that this fellow is very interesting, Lu Zhou then invited him to sit enjoyed the breakfast together. But in the chat of breakfast, Lu Zhou knows, the name of this young fellow was Wu Qing to come, was the professor of Pan-Asian academy of engineering space station research institute, moreover was two years ago that was just put on regular status. 觉得这家伙挺有趣的,陆舟便邀请他同坐一起享用了早餐。而在早餐的闲谈中,陆舟得知到,这位小伙子的名字叫吴庆来,是泛亚工程院空间站研究所的教授,而且还是两年前刚刚转正的那种。 After listening to self introduction of this young fellow, Lu Zhou somewhat sized up in the surroundings curiously, discovered after was the new face, then asked interestingly the sentence said. 听完了这小伙子的自我介绍之后,陆舟有些好奇地在周围打量了一圈,发现都是生面孔之后,便饶有兴趣地问了句说道。 „Taking the liberty asked that haven't the other academicians of your research institute come? I mean, how that side the heavenly palace city to find your?” “冒昧的问一下,你们研究所的其他院士没有来吗？我的意思是,天宫市那边是怎么找到你的？” Although does not remove that young and promising existence, but he to at present this young fellow is really nothing impression, had not felt that to this name looks familiar. 虽然不排除那种年轻有为的存在,但他对眼前这位小伙子实在是没什么印象,对这个名字更是一点也没感觉到眼熟。 Generally speaking, if he is really that outstanding scholar, did not say that had heard in the academic conference his name, at least should also hear his paper. 一般来说,如果他真的是那种出类拔萃的学者,不说在学术会议上听说过他的名字,至少也该听说过他的论文。 As if saw through the idea of Lu Zhou, professor peak that says is little Wu under shoulder, quite helpless saying. 仿佛是看穿了陆舟的想法,那个自称是小吴的教授耸了下肩膀,颇为无奈的说道。 „I know that you are thinking anything, there is nothing, the common sense this heavyweight conference truly should not send my specific name unknown unimportant person to come, but you possibly have not to know. Although only then five minutes ‚time difference’, but the sparks/Mars academic circle and Earth academic circle on basically are existences of two mutual independents, to put it bluntly they cannot take a liking to us specially.” “我知道您在想什么,这没什么,常理上来讲这种重量级的会议确实不该派我这种名不见经传的小人物来,但您可能有所不知。虽然只有五分钟的‘时差’,但火星学术界和地球上的学术界基本上是两个相互独立的存在,说白了他们并不是特别瞧得上我们。” Lu Zhou gawked slightly , a face visits him bewilderedly. 陆舟微微愣了下,一脸莫名其妙地看着他。 „Why do they think?” “他们为什么会这么想？” „Historical reason,” Wu Qing shrugs the arm, „wants to talk clearly this inside literary reference, even said that tomorrow morning will go insufficiently perhaps. In brief, since they clarified did not value our opinions, why will we best expert send? The cross planet navigation is a hard and unprofitable task matter, if possible, I do not want to come to here.” “历史原因,”吴庆来耸了耸肩膀,“想要把这里面的典故一件一件说清楚,就算是说道明天早上去恐怕都不够。总之,既然他们摆明了不重视我们的意见,我们又何必将最好的专家派过来呢？跨行星航行可是一件苦差事儿,如果可以的话,我也不想来这里。” At present the tune fast engine only then Qinling Mountains equipment has, flight that overwhelming majorities travel between Earth through traditional working substance acceleration way. Although stands an angle of the 21 st century citizen, three days arrived in sparks/Mars is quite quick from Earth, but regarding the people of 22 centuries, before without realizing, that frequently they of half a month navigation time, could not realize beautiful second. 目前曲速引擎只有秦岭号装备有,绝大多数往返地球的航班都是通过传统的工质加速方式。虽然站在一名21世纪公民的角度来看,三天从地球抵达火星已经相当快了,但对于22世纪的人来说,没有体会过以前那动辄半个月的航行时间的他们,是体会不到这其中的美秒的。 Lu Zhou shakes the head to say. 陆舟摇了摇头说道。 „Academic essence lies in the exchange, the approach of this preinstall standpoint is not good.” “学术的本质在于交流,这种预设立场的做法是不好的。” Wu Qing smiled bitterly saying: „We know that this is not good, what means but also has? Compared to Earth, here is a large-scale local area network, even I want to return seal the mail to defer to the byte payment credit point. Arrives here, means that at least for half a month even is one month, I come apart with the Earth academic circle thoroughly.” 吴庆来苦笑了一声说道:“我们都知道这不好,但又有什么办法呢？相对于地球而言,这里就是个大型局域网,甚至于我想回封邮件都得按照字节支付信用点。来到这里,就意味着至少这半个月甚至是一个月,我得和地球学术界彻底脱节。” Although to oneself not in the history in that time was interested, but here seemed not one suits discussed that the place of this issue, two people topics then changed to heavenly palace city local local conditions and social customs quickly. 虽然对自己不在的那段时间里的历史非常感兴趣,但这里似乎并不是一个适合讨论这个问题的地方,两人的话题很快便转到了天宫市当地的风土人情上。 Perhaps is because that side the academy of engineering is not specially well-respected reason, this is the first time that not this little Comrade Wu is sent here to come, when tool person, he to this generation familiar looks like the own second family/home to be the same. 或许是因为在工程院那边不是特别受重视的缘故,这已经不是这位小吴同志第一次被派到这里来当工具人了,以至于他对这一代熟悉的就像是自己的第二个家一样。 After finishing eating the food, two people walked in the direction of elevator together. 吃完了饭之后,两人一同朝着电梯的方向走去。 At this time, one roughly 40 -year-old over man, from the entrance of hotel walked surrounded by one group of people. 就在这时候,一位约莫四十岁出头的男人,在一群人的簇拥下从酒店的正门口走了过来。 From that person of wear with the attitude of others, the status of this fellow should not be low. Seemed like notices Lu Zhou, that man gawked slightly, immediately the brow wrinkled gently, walked toward here. 从那人的穿着和旁人的态度来看,这家伙的身份应该不低。似乎是注意到了陆舟,那个男人微微一愣,随即眉头轻轻皱了下,朝着这边走了过来。 „Are you Lu Zhou?” “你是陆舟？” Although felt that the tone of this fellow seems like some to be not quite right, but Lu Zhou not that small-minded man, therefore has not cared his attitude, said with the modest tone. 虽然感觉这家伙的语气似乎有些不太对劲,但陆舟并不是那种小肚鸡肠的男人,所以也就没有将他的态度放在心上,用温和的口吻说道。 „Yes, what matter has?” “是的,有什么事情吗？” „Knows you very much happily,” on face has not displayed too many happy appearances, that man extended the right hand, then after Lu Zhou shakes hand received quickly, „welcome to the heavenly palace city, hopes that this city can make the profound impression on you. In a while's conference we on the technical feasibility and concrete plan of Europa development plan discussed, we were anticipating can hear the interesting opinion from your here, but also hopes that Academician Lu not stingy grants instruction.” “很高兴认识你,”脸上并没有表现出太多高兴的样子,那个男人伸出了右手,和陆舟握了握手之后便很快收了回来,“欢迎来到天宫市,希望这座城市能给你留下深刻的印象。一会儿的会议上我们会就木卫二开发计划的技术可行性与具体实施方案进行讨论,我们期待着能够从你这里听到有趣的意见,还希望陆院士不啬赐教。” Lu Zhou smiled was selecting under. 陆舟微笑着点了下头。 „Certainly.” “一定。” Exchanging greetings in a few words, that man then left surrounded by one group of people. 三言两语的寒暄之后,那个男人便在一群人的簇拥下离开了。 Sizes up the direction that two that backs left curiously, from beginning to end has not heard that person of introducing oneself Lu Zhou, spoke thoughtlessly to ask the sentence curiously. 好奇地打量了两眼那背影离开的方向,自始至终没听到那人自我介绍的陆舟,好奇地随口问了句。 „Who is that person?” “那个人是谁？” „Yang Chongping,” gazes at the back that is leaving, little Wu said with the complex tone, „the manager of heavenly palace research institute space technology research institute, is sparks/Mars academicians...... in the space vehicle design domain, his theory it can be said that says a department, particularly in the large star design this of ship and space station, my teacher still acknowledged even, this fellow truly some skills.” “杨崇平,”注视着那离开的背影,小吴用复杂的口吻说道,“天宫研究院航天技术研究所的所长,同时也是火星科学院院士……在航天器设计领域,他的学说可以说是自称一系,尤其是在大型星舰与空间站的设计这一块,就算是我的导师也承认,这家伙确实有些本事。” Lu Zhou nods, but emphasis actually in strange place. 陆舟点了点头,不过关注点却是在奇怪的地方。 „On sparks/Mars also has the academy of science?” “火星上还有科学院？” „That is affirmative...... I do not mean, sparks/Mars here situation is quite complex,” little Wu coughed to say lightly, „, because various region alliances' policies to sparks/Mars colony handed over by the local residents autonomous management, therefore in various colonizing cities on sparks/Mars actually also trade organization that was similar to no tariff alliance, in recent years the cooperation range gradually expanded the culture and scientific research even is political z these domains...... you can understand sparks/Mars academy of science for third TWAS's similar organization with yishijiqian.” “那是肯定的……我不是说了吗,火星这边的情况比较复杂,”小吴轻咳了一声说道,“因为各区域联盟对火星殖民地的政策都是交由当地居民自治管理,所以火星上的各殖民市之间其实还有一个类似于无关税联盟的贸易组织,近些年来合作范围逐渐扩大到了文化、科研甚至是政z这些领域……你可以将火星科学院理解为与一世纪前的第三世界科学院类似的组织。” In other words, in the territory ownership issue, the heavenly palace city closes up to the Pan-Asian cooperation. But in the economy and cultural field, sparks/Mars cooperation on among each colonizing cities is closer. 也就是说,在领土归属问题上,天宫市是向泛亚合作靠拢的。但在经济、文化领域,火星上的各个殖民市之间的合作更为紧密。 Compares the colony, Lu Zhou has to plant here more like the dependent country same feeling of Pan-Asian cooperation on the contrary. 相比起殖民地,陆舟反倒是有种这里更像是泛亚合作的附庸国一样的感觉。 However, he on the things to these political z is not interested very much, after inquiring the matter of sparks/Mars academy of science, he then went back that Academician Yang Chongping the topic on. 不过,他对这些政z上的事情并不是很感兴趣,在打听过了火星科学院的事情之后,他便将话题拉回到了那位杨崇平院士本人身上。 „Always felt that he doesn't like me probably?” “总感觉他好像不太喜欢我？” „In this world has not welcome the city of people from other place, particularly regarding these locally born Martian, we slightly is only better than the alien,” little Wu shrugs the arm, teased saying that „naturally, they really had the proud capital in aerospace, after all now the heavy industry on Earth basically hollow melts, the entire industrial most state-of-art production base basically distributed in around the heavenly palace city...... you should know, the material of space elevator was here is basically producing.” “这个世界上就没有欢迎外地人的城市,尤其是对于那些土生土长的火星人而言,我们只比外星人稍微好一点,”小吴耸了耸肩膀,打趣了一句说道,“当然,在航天方面他们确实有自傲的资本,毕竟现在地球上的重工业基本都空心化了,整个产业界最尖端的生产基地基本上都分布在天宫市周围……您应该知道的吧,太空电梯的材料基本上都是这边在生产。” Lu Zhou nods , indicating to understand. 陆舟点了点头,表示了解。 Knows certainly about this him. 关于这点他当然是知道的。 After all he is the biggest individual shareholder of East Asian heavy industry, regarding the East Asian heavy industry and industry chain distribution of cooperation supplier, in his heart has a general number. 毕竟他可是东亚重工的最大个人股东,对于东亚重工及其合作供应商的产业链分布,他心中都是有个大概的数的。 Looked at Lu Zhou one secretly, thinks that he has anything to celebrate a holiday with that Yang Chongping, Wu Qing lai urged one to say low voice. 偷偷看了陆舟一眼,以为他和那个杨崇平有什么过节,吴庆来小声地劝了一句说道。 „Actually you do not need to pay attention to him, he envies the achievement that you achieve.” “其实您不必理会他,他只是嫉妒您取得的成就。” Heard these words, Lu Zhou gawked slightly, immediately smiled the sound to say gently. 听到这句话,陆舟微微愣了下,随即轻轻笑了声说道。 „I thought this person is very interesting, does not have other meaning, do not want is too many. Said with me this nearby has what good food, on passed by the heavenly palace city time walks hurriedly, did not have with enough time the take a good look this city......” “我只是觉得这个人挺有趣的,没别的意思,你也别想太多了。还是和我说说这附近有什么美食吧,上路过天宫市的时候走得匆忙,还没来得及好好看看这座城市……” „I recommend you to go to a central vault! The next door in starry sky hotel, or travels by the transmission ladder to pass through the underground walk,” Wu Qing uses the exciting tone to continue saying that „stands on the viewing platform of central vault, it is said can look into the New Virginia outline! But there revolving restaurant, is one of scenic spots comes to the heavenly palace city to punch the clock!” “那我推荐您去一趟中央穹顶！就在星空大酒店的隔壁,通过地下通道或者搭乘传送梯都可以过去,”吴庆来用兴奋的语气继续说道,“站在中央穹顶的观景台上,据说可以眺望到新弗吉尼亚市的轮廓！而那里的旋转餐厅,更是来天宫市必打卡的景点之一！” Lu Zhou said with a smile: „Right? That has free time I to go to one to take a look.” 陆舟笑着说道:“是吗？那有空我可得去一趟瞧瞧。” Person of one age, was not certainly worthwhile with a younger generation cannot pass. 都一把年纪的人了,当然犯不着和一个晚辈过不去。 After returning to the room to rest a while, Lu Zhou saw the distance afternoon conference also a little time, happen to thinks that punch-in scenic spot that Professor Wu and recommended was not happen to far, therefore then went out to turn circle. 回到房间里休息了一会儿之后,陆舟见距离下午的会议还有一点时间,正好想到吴教授和自己推荐的那个打卡景点正好也不远,于是便出去转了圈。 Has to acknowledge, there scenery truly very makes one shock. 不得不承认,那里的景色确实挺让人震撼的。 The station the conveyer belt to next door floor, rode the elevator to go to the hall in that central vault, arrives at window nearby Lu Zhou, immediately was given this by the heaving in sight scenery. 站上了通往隔壁楼层的传送带,乘坐电梯来到了那中央穹顶的大厅中,走到落地窗旁边的陆舟,顿时被映入眼帘的景色给这幅了。 That three-dimensional transport networks same spread like the spider web of proliferation layer upon layer outward, divided a border that in this stretch of desolated land came under the civilization. 那一道道立体化的交通网络就如同层层扩散的蛛网一样向外蔓延,在这片荒芜的大地上分割出了一条属于文明的疆界。 „Ling.” “玲。” The pupil glitters slightly, Ling of standing looked to Lu Zhou, replies with the electronic sound that has not surged up. 瞳孔微微闪烁,站在旁边的玲看向了陆舟,用没有波澜起伏的电子音回答道。 „What's wrong, Commander.” “怎么了,指挥官。” Silent a while, Lu Zhou with having some sigh with emotion expressions was saying. 沉默了一会儿,陆舟用带着些感慨的语气说道。 „I start somewhat to understand, the ideas of these people.” “我开始有些理解,那些人的想法了。” Can build up a city on this desolated lands, this need may be the wisdom and courage is not so only simple. But they who created so the miracle, really has this proud capital. 能够在这片荒芜的土地上建起一座城市,这需要的可不仅仅是智慧和勇气那么简单。而创造了如此奇迹的他们,也确实有这个骄傲的资本。 Perhaps this barrier, is not the time and distance creates...... 这种隔阂,或许根本就不是时间和距离造成的…… Cannot understand in -depth meaning in Lu Zhou these words, Ling crooked tilting the head, on the face showed the puzzled expression. 并不能理解陆舟这句话中的深层含义,玲歪了歪头,脸上露出了困惑的表情。 However Lu Zhou has not explained anything, but stopped to appreciate a while beautiful city, then turned around to leave...... 然而陆舟并没有解释什么,只是驻足欣赏了一会儿这座美丽的城市,然后便转身离开了……
