Dzungar Basin center. 准格尔盆地中央。 Passes through on the road in Gurbantunggut Shamo, one row of heavy engineering facilities hold the billowing dust, is entering the desert deep place enormously and powerful. 贯穿古尔班通古特沙漠的公路上,一列重型工程设备托着滚滚尘埃,正浩浩荡荡地杀入沙漠深处。 As the after selected location of fire seed plan completes, technical department's that side fund is well in place quickly, almost during the tender work completes, the equipment of construction then left for the construction site from recent Urumchi. 随着火种计划的选址完成之后,科技部那边的资金很快到位,几乎是在招标工作完成的同时,施工单位的设备便从最近的乌市开赴了施工现场。 At this moment, on military compound nearby work site, to become Pai the activity room has built. Wears the workers of small yellow hat to complete the loading and unloading of instrument and commodity quickly, put up the basic living facility in the nearby of activity room, but with this great distance not far open area, leaves for the heavy equipment of scene to start in the construction region to do farm work. 此时此刻,军营附近的工地上,成排的活动房已经搭建完毕。戴着小黄帽的工人们很快完成了器械和物资的装卸,在活动房的附近搭起了基本的生活设施,而与此相隔不远的空地,开赴现场的重型设备已经开始在施工区域内耕耘。 Any great project is first starts from the ground, biosphere A is not also exceptional. 任何伟大的工程都是先从地基开始,生物圈a同样不例外。 Before building steel bar support, the construction will first hollow out this region, digs out one three to four meters deep big hole, then infiltrates the steel bar on the ground, constructs the cement, finally spreads out the stainless steel plate. 在搭建起钢筋支架之前,施工单位会先将这片区域挖空,挖出一座三到四米深的大坑,然后再在地上打入钢筋,浇筑水泥,最后铺上不锈钢板。 Looks is doing farm work the engineering facilities in not far away open area, leading Professor reckless of safety helmet to look at the engineering drawing and plan of construction in hand meticulously, listens to say in his nearby work site head. 看着在不远处空地上耕耘着的工程设备,带着安全帽的胡教授正一丝不苟地看着手中的工程图纸和施工方案,听着在他的旁边的工地负责人说道。 „...... This is our plans of construction, starts from the first phase, the present is to lay the ground, you have a look at what issue, if any can the present raise, I find the way to solve.” “……这是我们的施工方案,从一期工程开始,现在是打地基,你看看有什么问题,如果有的话可以现在提,我想办法解决。” Carefully looked at the blueprint and plan of construction, after confirming does not have the oversight, Professor reckless nods. 将图纸和施工方案仔细地看了一遍,确认没有疏漏之后,胡教授才点了点头。 „Basically without the issue, when can construct most quickly?” “基本上没有问题,最快什么时候能建好？” Narrowed the eye to look at distant place horizon the yellow sand „First phase three months enough, the complete third phase finished, quick words six months, slow words about 78 months, must look here weather specifically. If comes the field sand storm regularly, the time affirms delays.” 眯着眼睛看了眼远处的地平线的漫天翻滚的黄沙,负责人开口说道:“一期工程三个月就够了,全部三期工程完工,快的话六个月,慢的话七八个月左右,具体还得看这里的天气。要是隔三差五来场沙尘暴,工期肯定得延误。” Not only sand storm. 不只是沙尘暴。 Sudden high-temperature wait. 还有突如其来的高温等等。 Constructs to have many uncertainties on the desert, any accident/surprise may happen, time anything does not have. 在沙漠上施工存在很多不确定因素,任何意外都有可能发生,工期什么的都是没个准的。 „Speed secondary, slow point these do not matter,” gave back to the head the engineering drawing in hand, reckless Yang seriously injunction said, „please must work hard in the quality, any small oversight possibly caused the entire experiment failure.” “速度都是次要的,慢一点这些都无所谓,”将手中的工程图纸还给了负责人,胡洋表情严肃地嘱咐道,“请务必在质量上多下点功夫,任何一个微小的疏漏都可能导致整个实验失败。” „Relax,” shot the cigarette ash on cigarette butt, the head teased relaxed with a smile the sentence, „quality was the affirmation. This is the state-level project, I impossible to crack a joke with oneself latter half of life again am not?” “放心吧,”弹了弹烟头上的烟灰,负责人语气轻松地笑着打趣了句,“质量是肯定的。这可是国家级项目,我再怎么也不可能拿自己下半辈子开玩笑不是？” This project he, if dares to cheat on labor and materials, was purely tired of living. 这种项目他要是敢偷工减料,纯粹是活腻了。 Even if no one said, he should still put out 120 attaching great importance to treat. 即便没有人说,他也会拿出一百20的重视去对待。 Meanwhile, when the fire seed plans straighten out, the biosphere A news also disappears without a trace. 与此同时,就在火种计划已经步入正轨的时候,生物圈a的消息也随之不胫而走。 Although Gurbantunggut Shamo is situated in the life-forbidden zone, but the so huge project wants to achieve keeps secret completely, is almost the impossible matter. 虽说古尔班通古特沙漠地处生命禁区,但如此庞大的工程想要做到完全保密,几乎是不可能的事情。 But in fact, the fire seed plan does not keep secret the project, because absolutely does not have that necessity. After all does not involve any defense technology, involves the biological, ecology and research of meteorological hydrology wait domain, is the category of natural sciences, needs to cooperate with other research agencies internationally. 而事实上,火种计划也并非保密项目,因为完全没有那个必要。毕竟其中并不涉及到任何国防技术,很多涉及到生物学、生态学、气象水文等等领域的研究,都属于自然科学的范畴,也需要与国际上的其它研究机构进行合作。 But after biosphere A formally begins construction, China is constructing the news of artificial biosphere to spread over the entire international academics quickly, and ecological protection social services organization caused the huge stir in the relevant research domain as well as. 而就在生物圈a正式动工之后,华国正在建造人工生物圈的消息很快传遍了整个国际学术界,并且在相关研究领域以及生态保护公益组织内引起了巨大的轰动。 Since Biosphere 2 plan fail of US, constructs the biosphere 3rd the appeal sound then not to stop, however regarding this scientific research item of huge investment, the high risk and low return, no one has been willing to invest above. 自从美国的生物圈二号计划失败之后,建造生物圈三号的呼吁声便从来没有停止过,然而对于这种高投入、高风险、低回报的科研项目,一直没有人肯在上面投资。 At least, counted on that the American jumps again one time toward this big hole , is absolutely impossible. 至少,指望美国人再往这个大坑里跳一次,是绝对不可能的。 Now China is willing to disburse money to do this „biosphere No. 3”, in Dzungar basin central construction biosphere A, regarding devoting promoting scholar as well as activist of artificial ecological system research, without doubt is a startled day good news. 现在华国愿意出钱搞这个“生物圈三号”,也就是正在准格尔盆地中央建造的生物圈a,对于致力于推动人工生态系统研究的学者以及公益人士而言,无疑都是一件惊天的喜讯。 After all always, China in the investment of natural sciences domain is extremely limited, this time is willing to invest so many capital in the research of natural sciences, immediately won internationally the favorable impressions of many scholar. 毕竟一直以来,华国在自然科学领域的投入都是极为有限的,这一次肯投入这么多资本在自然科学的研究上,顿时赢得国际上了不少学者的好感。 However what is interesting, unlike the viewpoint of academic circle positive opinion, internationally the review points of major well-known media is to actually appear quite subtly. 不过有意思的是,与学术界正面评价的观点不同,国际上各大知名媒体的评论观点却是显得相当微妙。 Some people think that this is once again human to the brave challenge that the control naturally initiates, some people of movements that unified China recently in the space sphere, whip pioneer/monarch Ruli analyzed the background of this plan, recognized its had very big possibility is China „outer space expansion” paved the way. 有的人认为这是又一次人类向掌控自然发起的勇敢挑战,也有人结合华国最近在太空领域的动作,鞭辟入里地分析了这个计划的背景,认定其有很大的可能性是在为华国的“太空扩张”铺路。 Especially headed by the New York Times and Washington Post North American well-known newspaper, „military background” and „some projects is less transparent” the news that made groundless accusations to take the pretence with some, the title that maliciously „colonizes outpost who this sounds the China outer space” roars flamboyant to confer biosphere A that constructs, and appealed that the concerned domain scholar participates in this/should project discretely. 尤其是以《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》为首的北美知名报纸,更是用一些“军方背景”、“部分项目不透明”等捕风捉影的消息作为幌子,不怀好意地将“华国太空殖民的前哨”这个听起来牛逼哄哄的称号颁给了正在建设的生物圈a,并且呼吁有关领域地学者谨慎参与该项目。 Although these viewpoints sound somewhat incredible, but brought to the attention of nasa as before. 虽然这些观点听起来有些荒诞,但依旧引起了nasa的重视。 Or attaching great importance to of nsc. 或者说,nsc的重视。 Controls three years ago, after the US announced returned to Moon, then by a hairstyle very cool president signed the related law, reconstructed the national space council for the third time , was so-called nsc. 早在三年前左右,美国宣布重返月球之后,便由一位发型很酷的总统签署了相关的法令,第三次重建了国家空间委员会,也就是所谓的nsc。 But what these time was different from the past, reorganization nsc subordinated in the president administration office directly, and was in command by the vice president personally, with National Security Council, management and budget bureau and information the advisory commission wait organization was equivalent in the rank. 而这一次和以往不同的是,重组的nsc直接隶属于总统行政办公室,并且由副总统亲自挂帅,在级别上与国家安全委员会、管理与预算局、情报顾问委员会等等机构相当。 Obviously, the US has shown the determination that rises in the space sphere. 显然,美国已经展现出了在太空领域重新崛起的决心。 In some White House conference room. 白宫某间会议室内。 Convened own staff team, and senior official of relevant authority, president both hands patted on the table, seriously said. 召集了自己的幕僚团队,以及相关部门的高级官员,总统双手拍在了桌子上,表情严肃地说道。 „The China person showed the ambition of considerable degree in the development of outer space resources, we must carefully examine our space projects. What kind of achievement regardless of we had achieved, if unable to maintain at the space industry strength us, that will not have the significance!” “华国人在外层空间资源的开发上展现出了相当程度的野心,我们必须审视我们自己的航天计划。无论我们曾经取得过怎样的成就,如果无法将我们在航天领域的优势保持下去,那将毫无意义！” At this time, in the conference room broadcast a sound. 这时,会议室里传来了一道声音。 „Can I say two?” “我可以说两句吗？” Looked that to the direction that sound conveyed, the president selected under. 看向了那声音传来的方向,总统点了下头。 „Naturally.” “当然。” Looks that one both falls on oneself line of sight, Chief nasa stands up slowly, says. 看着一双双落在自己身上的视线,nasa局长缓缓站起身来,开口说道。 „China is still pursuing our footsteps at present, I thought that does not need to transit to be worried. Naturally, my meaning does not relax vigilantly, we only need to speed up our rhythms, keeps the leading advantage to be enough.” “华国目前还在追赶我们的脚步,我觉得不用过渡担心。当然,我的意思并非是放松警惕,我们只需要加快我们自己的节奏,保持领先的优势就足以。” , Chief nasa continued to say. 顿了顿,nasa局长继续说道。 „I proposed, in maintaining ‚returns to Moon’ plan in the situation that continues to advance, advances to a more remote direction our fronts. For example, sparks/Mars.” “我提议,在保持‘重返月球’计划继续推进的情况下,将我们的前线向更遥远的方向推进。比如,火星。” The president frowns. 总统皱了下眉头。 „sparks/Mars?” “火星？” In the conference room resounded the sound of talking in whispers. 会议室里响起了窃窃私语的声音。 Has not cared about these discussions, Chief nasa selected, said earnestly. 没有在意那些议论声,nasa局长点了下头,认真说道。 „Yes, you have not misunderstood, we have ability that explores sparks/Mars, we have many outstanding aerospace enterprises to be competent this duty, we only need to provide some small help to them, conforms in their strengths together.” “是的,你没有听错,我们已经具备了探索火星的能力,我们有很多优秀的航天企业能够胜任这一任务,我们只需要对他们提供一些小小的帮助,将他们的力量整合在一起。” At this point, he stopped the moment, enhanced the volume to continue to say. 说到这里,他停顿了片刻,提高了音量继续说道。 „I proposed, starts Ares to plan, contains ambition of China on Moon!” “我提议,启动‘阿瑞斯’计划,来遏制华国在月球上的野心！” „If they think in seal the footprint on Moon can surpass us, we while they print the footprint, delivers to farther sparks/Mars to come up our people!” “如果他们认为在月球上印上脚印就能超过我们的话,那我们就在他们印上脚印的同时,将我们的人送到更远的火星上去！”
