I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1236: They are hindering academic freedom!

At a meeting room in the White House in Washington, DC, the atmosphere is slightly subdued.
Since last year ’s conflict in the Western Pacific, there have been many more discussions of national affairs in the same room where all high-level advisors, ministerial officials, and presidents are kept in the same room. The only difference is that a new face is sitting in the position of Secretary of State.
The Earth Defense Alliance is on the rise, and has even vaguely shaken the status of NATO ’s first military body in the world. Politics, economy, and even culture, the United States is facing unprecedented challenges. Even in the era of Truman and Kennedy, it has never been so severe.
After all, the United States was faced with a muscle-covered giant who was ill, and now standing on the ring to compete with the United States, it is an Iron Man who uses technology to arm himself to his teeth. ......
No, this statement is not accurate enough, after all, Iron Man ’s technology is probably more realistic than them ...
"Star Ring Trade intends to hold a biotechnology summit in Star Ring City at the end of January to display the spoils on Mars. What is that called? Devil worm? Damn it ... Curiosity ran on Mars for so many years I didn't see the shadow of the cell. "NASA Director Bolden looked at the report with exhaustion in his face, and reported weakly.
The NASA Director sits at a table with the Secretary of State, the President, the Minister of Commerce, and even the Minister of the Interior to discuss issues. I am afraid it was the cold war era of space races. However, Bolden couldn't be more pleased, because neither the space elevator nor the moon colonization plan was in sight.
In the face of the unattainable space technology gap, even the genius Elon Musk and his SpaceX can't do anything. They can only pick up a soup behind the **** of Xinghuan Trading.
"Can you find a way to qualify for the biotech summit? The United States must have first-hand information about Martian species! Otherwise, the technological gap between us and the Star Ring trade will only grow larger. "Minister of Defense Carter said solemnly.
"Eligibility to attend the summit? Oh, of course. The New York Times, the Washington Post ... any media you can call your name has received an invitation," the chief of staff leaned on the chair and turned his face ugly. The ballpoint pen in the book, "The problem is that no US scientific research institution or university has received an invitation for joint research, and we have been completely excluded."
"They are hindering academic freedom!" the Secretary of Defense's Advanced Projects Bureau scolded beside Minister Carter.
"Professors at Harvard University and MIT have already condemned us," Hillary glanced at the officials present, and finally stopped looking at the Secretary of State. "What we need now is a solution."
"I will try as much as possible, but do n’t have too much hope," the newly appointed secretary of state rubbed his sour eyebrows. "The aerospace technology ’s blockade of us in aerospace technology is not a day or two, expect them to do today The possibility of concession is very unlikely ... Kerry is an expert on the issue of the new country, but you know — "
"This guy Kerry, resigned as Secretary of State at this time." Min. main party whispered in a low voice.
"Can you persuade him to come back?" Hillary asked, looking at the party whip.
"It ’s very difficult. He insisted on participating in the March pre-election. He even wrote the speech. You know, some people supported him. The most terrible thing is that the opinions in the party have split up and support him. The voice is not small. Thank God, now we have to face the Republican Party and the new country at the same time, this **** Wall Street ... "
Hearing this sentence, the crow's feet in the corners of Hilary's eyes wrinkled a bit of helplessness.
She now has no idea how to play this next move.
At this moment, Bolden suddenly spoke.
"Should we start the Mars landing program in advance?"
As soon as the voice fell, the line of sight in the meeting room looked over in full.
Bolden took a deep breath before meeting the eyes of the president and ministerial officials, and then said.
"If we ca n’t break the ice diplomatically, we can only try it technically."
"The problem is that our current technology is okay? Hasn't SpaceX terminated the development of manned rockets?" Defense Secretary Carter frowned.
"MCT, Mars Immigration Transporter, SpaceX has never stopped the Mars colonization program, and the most critical technology has now been broken." Bolden looked at Hillary and said seriously, "It's fine to send a one-way ticket Of. "
After a long silence, Hillary spoke.
"Tell me, what is the point of doing this?"
If she cannot find a suitable reason to persuade Congress to approve the funds, even if she agrees with the plan in her heart, it does not make any sense.
"The meaning is too great." Bolden said, "The moon has been monopolized, and the star ring trade cannot continue to monopolize the future of humanity. Even if it is to insert a national flag on Mars and throw a few people to live on it, It can also add a lot of chips to us. "
Several craters with large reserves of moon ice and rare earths have been shamelessly occupied by the first comer Star Ring Trade.
Even if there is no mining, a research station is built on it. Although countries have begun to establish their own lunar research stations through the lunar fever, they cannot solve the most critical problems of drinking water and oxygen. It is almost impossible to develop into a colony.
Especially because of limited resources, Xinghuan Trading has aggressively refused to sell drinking water, oxygen, and electricity to research stations outside the member countries of the Earth Defense Alliance. The high maintenance cost keeps these research stations in a state of being unable to make ends meet, let alone expanding.
However, the most critical thing is not this ...
After a pause, looking at the still hesitant president, Bolden continued.
"In addition, I suspect that the discovery of the Star Ring Trade on Mars is probably more than just a bug."
Hillary suddenly seemed to think of something, and took a breath of breath, looking at Bolden in shock.
"You mean ..."
"Yes, I'm afraid it has something to do with extraterrestrial civilization." Bolden nodded and proposed seriously, "If they don't agree with us to participate in the research, then we will go and see for ourselves."
There is more than one way to Mars.
If Xinghuan Trading is unwilling to sell tickets to Mars, it is better to build an own "Ocean Ship" belonging to the United States.
Just as the White House in the United States was preparing for the attitude of the Star Ring Trade, at the Mars colony tens of millions of kilometers away, there were only 9 soldiers remaining and the only infantry fighting vehicle. The doorway of the colony was completed, ready to rescue the trapped engineers at the 071 mine.
The reinforcements of the Star City will take two weeks to arrive, and the oxygen on the rover can only last up to two weeks. The risk of rescue is great, and everyone understands this. However, no one questioned the rescue of the soldiers sitting in the infantry vehicles ready for departure.
Xinghuan Trading has never abandoned its tradition of running away.
No matter who the opponent is.
Whether the opponent is a human or not.
