Chapter 352 Is This the Final Stubbornness of a Genius? (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

New York City.

The old gentleman sat in his chair and laughed.

"Good question from the CNN reporter!"

"I want to see how Luo Yao will answer!"

"Before, Luo Yao even boasted that our people would not be able to set foot on Mars. What was the result?"

"Our people have boarded successfully now!"

"I admit that he is somewhat capable, but he has forgotten who has been the country with the highest technological level in the past few decades!"

When the old gentleman said this, a rare sharpness flashed in his eyes.

He pressed the phone and said to the secretary on the other end of the phone: "Ask Bill to connect to the Mars live broadcast signal as soon as possible. I want people around the world to see it!"

"Sir, Director Bill said that the current communication speed between Mars and Blue Star is about 220Kb/s. This speed cannot be broadcast live."

The old gentleman said dissatisfiedly: "Then let them find a way. This is a good opportunity to promote our strength. How can we not live broadcast?"

The secretary suddenly felt that no matter what level he was working as a migrant worker, he was miserable.

But she knew that it was not up to her to say anything about it, so she could only convey it according to the old gentleman's words.

After Bill received the call, he was speechless for a long time.

Live broadcast on Mars?

Who came up with this?

Bill's mind was in chaos, and it was really hard for him to imagine a live broadcast on Mars.

Mars is the red planet millions of kilometers away from the Blue Star. Humans have just set foot on it, and now someone actually proposes to broadcast live there?

This is simply more science fiction than science fiction!

He rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself down.

After all, as the director of NASA, he has long been accustomed to dealing with various emergencies and whims, but this time, he really felt a headache.

"Whose idea was this?" Bill finally asked, with a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in his voice.

"That's what the old gentleman meant." The voice replied cautiously, "He said this is a good opportunity to show our NASA's strength and increase public attention."

Bill sighed. He knew that the old man always liked to make big moves, but this time it was a bit too much. Mars live broadcast, which not only requires a lot of capital investment, but also needs to solve technical problems.

It will take three months for Blue Star to reach Mars, and the launch and debugging costs are difficult to estimate!

Bill knew that as the director of NASA, he had to carry out the orders of his superiors. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he had to bite the bullet and satisfy the old man.

Bill called Pique.

After listening to this, Peake said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I think it is too difficult to achieve live broadcast on Mars now, and our current technical level is still difficult to achieve."

At present, Ugly Country's communication technology is not so powerful that it can immediately send several relay satellites to solve the communication problem between Mars and Blue Star.

Bill understands Peake's concerns, and he is fully aware of the huge challenges faced by live broadcasting a Mars mission. The distance between Mars and Blue Star is huge, communication delays are serious, and current technology is indeed difficult to support the high bandwidth and stability required for real-time live broadcast.

"Pique, I understand what you mean." Bill said solemnly, "But the old man has very high expectations, and we must find ways to meet his requirements as much as possible."

Pique nodded. He knew this was a difficult task, but he was willing to try his best.

"Perhaps we can consider a compromise solution." Peake suggested, "We can record Mars video first, and then transmit the video data back to Blue Star through the Mars probe in a suitable time window. Although this is not Live broadcast in real time, but at least it allows the audience to see the real picture of Mars."

Bill thought for a while and felt that this plan was feasible.

Although it cannot be broadcast in real time, it can at least bring some freshness and surprises to the audience.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Bill decided, "You immediately organize a team and start preparing for video recording and transmission.

Pique did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to do it.

Seven minutes after NASA sent a message to Starship V3 on Mars, the three volunteers on Mars finally received the message.

"We've received the message!" Tucker shouted excitedly, tapping his fingers quickly on the control panel to display the contents of the message on the screen one by one.

"Mr. Bill wants us to record a video every day on Mars?" Cruz asked in disbelief.

"That's right, and as soon as possible." Carter nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "The people on Blue Star will wait and see!"

"Then record it!" Tucker said, baring his big white teeth.

A few hours later, NASA released a video.

In the video, the desolate surface of Mars, red sand and distant mountains are clearly visible, while Starship V3 is parked quietly on a flat ground, looking extremely conspicuous.

Three volunteers, Tucker, Clouse and Carter, appeared in front of the camera one after another and waved to the global audience.

"Hello everyone, we are volunteers from Starship V3." Carter said with a smile, "We are now standing on the soil of Mars, bringing you first-hand information about this red planet."

Once the video was released, it immediately attracted the attention of countless netizens around the world.

The global response has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Discussions about the Mars video have rapidly increased on social media, and major news websites and TV stations have also rushed to report on it, making this incident a global focus.

The scientific community also spoke highly of the video release. Experts believe that this is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a manifestation of human courage and wisdom.

They said that this video allows people to have a more intuitive understanding of the landscape and environment of Mars, and provides valuable information for future Mars exploration.

Politicians also commented and congratulated NASA and the volunteers on their achievements.

They emphasized that the Mars video release not only demonstrated the scientific and technological strength of the United States, but also reflected the human spirit of exploring the unknown world.

The business community also saw the business opportunities brought by this incident. Some companies have begun to develop products and technologies related to Mars exploration, hoping to get a share of this emerging field.

On NASA's official website, the message area was quickly filled with comments from netizens.

"I said NASA can definitely do it! Our technology is the strongest!"

"Watching the images of volunteers working on Mars really makes my blood boil. I am proud to live in such an era!"

"Every time I see a video like this, I deeply feel the insignificance and greatness of human beings. The insignificance lies in the vast universe we are facing, but the greatness lies in the fact that our Ugly Country has never stopped exploring!"

"These volunteers are real heroes. They bravely set foot on this strange land for the future of mankind. Salute to them!"

"So our country, Chou, is still very technologically advanced. Academician Luo from China said before that we couldn't reach Mars. Apparently he was jealous!"

…

"The current situation is like this. Since NASA released the Mars video, everyone's enthusiasm has been ignited, and the world's attention has focused on them. However, there are always some discordant voices. For example, some people have begun to Take this opportunity to discredit our space exploration achievements.”

The main target of this smear campaign is Luo Yao.

Shan Xing didn't say the second half of the sentence. He looked at Luo Yao's silence and was a little worried about the other person's mental state.

Who can bear to be directly questioned by CNN and other major media about his previous poor judgment?

Luo Yao sat quietly in the command center, staring deeply at the big screen.

He was not unaware of Shan Xing's worries, but at the moment his mood was unusually calm.

Luo Yao had already anticipated the questioning from CNN and other major media.

After all, in the field of scientific research, every error in prediction or judgment may become the target of public criticism. However, he knows that his judgment is not groundless, but based on a large amount of data and in-depth analysis.

"President, you don't have to worry about me." Luo Yao spoke softly, with a hint of confidence in his voice, "I know what I said in my previous speech. I still stick to my words now. Starship V3 will have problems."

Everyone:...

Now that Starship V3 has successfully landed on Mars, what could go wrong?

After Luo Yao finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, with doubts and confusion in their eyes.

In the video released by NASA, Starship V3 landed steadily on the surface of Mars. Everything seemed normal and there were no signs of problems.

Is this the final stubbornness of a genius?

"I know you won't believe me, but I trust my judgment."

Luo Yao stood up, left the command center after leaving the last words.

Since others don't believe him, there is no need for him to say more.

That night, after Luo Yao asked Xiao Moss to predict the Martian environment, a response was posted on the official website of Linghang Technology.

"Hello everyone, my name is Luo Yao. As an academician of the two academies, I know exactly what I said. The environmental conditions of Mars are completely different from those of Blue Star, including lower temperatures, a thinner atmosphere, and possible sandstorms. wait."

"Starship V3 was unable to fully adapt to these extreme conditions during the design and manufacturing process, resulting in the failure of certain systems or components in the Martian environment."

"Don't forget the "magic" of multiple parallel connections."

"Multi-engine parallel connection was originally designed to improve the energy supply efficiency and stability of the starship. However, in the special environment of Mars, this design has become a hidden danger. The thin atmosphere of Mars causes the starship's energy conversion to Efficiency is reduced, and multi-engine parallel systems require higher input energy to maintain stable operation."

"When the energy supply is insufficient, the multi-generation parallel system may become unstable and even cause the entire energy system to collapse."

"In particular, dust storms on Mars will pose a threat to multiple parallel systems. Sand and dust particles adhere to key components of the system, which may not only lead to poor heat dissipation, but may also cause short circuits and other faults."

"After a sandstorm, if cleaning and maintenance are not timely, these failures may be further exacerbated and affect the overall performance of the starship."

"If I remember correctly, Starship V3 is composed of 50 Raptor engines."

"The atmosphere of Mars is thin, which means that the engine needs to consume more fuel to generate sufficient thrust. This not only increases the supply pressure of the starship on Mars, but may also cause increased wear and tear on the engine and shorten its service life."

"As the power core of the Starship V3, the Raptor engine's delicate components may be corroded by sand and dust, which may lead to performance degradation or even failure. Sand and dust particles may block the engine's intake passage and affect the normal injection and combustion of fuel."

"At the same time, sand and dust adhere to the engine's heat sink, which will seriously affect the engine's cooling effect and increase the risk of overheating."

"If you can't think of this, it means that NASA had no relevant precautionary awareness at all during the launch."

This response instantly aroused discussions from all walks of life.

A spokesperson for NASA responded quickly, insisting that before launching Starship V3, they had fully considered the special characteristics of the Martian environment and taken corresponding precautions.

"I hope you won't listen to some people's nonsense. Aren't we going to consider sandstorms?"

NASA's statement has given many people confidence that Starship V3 is not as bad as Luo Yao said.

"Don't be ridiculous, Luo Yao still doesn't admit that his judgment is wrong. It's really sad!"

“Geniuses rarely feel like they’re doing something wrong!”

"Fortunately Luo Yao is Chinese, otherwise we would be embarrassed!"

"Don't Chinese people care about their academicians? The facts are before our eyes, but we still don't realize our mistakes?"

"They still hold Luo Yao up so high, but it seems like nothing more than that!"

With the expectations of the old man and NASA, people's opinions of Luo Yao gradually increased.

Luo Yao is now a representative figure of China, and it is a good thing for them to have his reputation damaged.

If Luo Yao can be destroyed, Hua's scientific and technological status will also be affected.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the digital trolls who collect money to do things began to take action.

"There is no doubt that Luo Yao just wants to make amends for himself and never admits his mistakes!"

"This kind of academician should not come up with propaganda, it is simply embarrassing to us!"

"Academician Luo just needs to apologize. There is no need to fight to the end!"

"So, this is the consequence of letting a young man with a hairless mouth become an academician. It is not stable at all!"

"It's no big deal to apologize. I really don't know what Luo Yao is thinking!"

The digital trolls acted quickly and effectively. Many negative comments about Luo Yao soon appeared on the Internet. Their remarks were sharp and mean, as if Luo Yao had made an unforgivable mistake.

Some people accuse Luo Yao, and others defend him.

After Shan Xing saw the discussion from all walks of life, he slammed the table.

"These people are so unreasonable!"

"Gong Luo can say whatever he wants, they don't care!"

Zheng Yang frowned and said, "They are justified this time. Luo Gong didn't bow his head in the face of his mistakes. This is really hard to accept."

"Gong Luo made a mistake and he should not have responded."

"Wrong." Shan Xing interrupted him.

"Gong Luo was wrong. He shouldn't have written his own response."

Shan Xing met Zheng Yang's eyes, and both of them were speechless.

Luo Yao can't stop him from making mistakes!

Shan Xing took a deep breath, his eyes were firm and deep, as if he was thinking about how to rescue Luo Yao.

He spoke slowly: "Luo Yao is the pride of our country. His scientific research capabilities and professional judgment have been verified countless times. This controversy is actually more due to his inappropriate response in front of the public. .”

"No matter what, you should not criticize him harshly."

Zheng Yang knew that Luo Yao had been following Shan Xing since he was more than ten years old. When it came to protecting the calf, no one could compare to Shan Xing.

Even though he wrote two reviews because of Luo Yao, Shan Xing still had no complaints about Luo Yao.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Zheng Yang asked curiously.

"It's very simple. Ban the account and delete the post. We can't let anyone damage Luo Yao's reputation. The most active people on the Internet now are most likely people who get paid to do things. It's just right to arrest these people and interrogate them carefully, and to deal with the people behind them. The power is dug out.”

"You're right, we can't sit idly by and ignore it." Zheng Yang nodded in agreement, "But the method of banning accounts, deleting posts, and arresting people cannot be used yet."

"Why?" Shan Xing looked at the other party in disbelief.

"Now that you have no name, aren't you adding another crime to Gong Luo?"

"The best way now is that we first find the evidence behind it and then act."

Shan Xing pondered for a while and nodded: "You are still thoughtful. We cannot act rashly. We must find conclusive evidence before we can make a name for ourselves."

Shan Xing stood up and began to pace back and forth in the office, seeming to be thinking about his next action plan.

He stopped, turned around and said to Zheng Yang: "In this way, we will split up. You will be responsible for contacting the network security department to strengthen network supervision and prevent the further spread of malicious remarks. I will investigate the evidence behind it and see who is behind it. Manipulate this."

Zheng Yang nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll contact the network security department right away. You should also be careful and pay attention to safety."

After the two agreed on the action plan, they got busy.

On the other hand, foreign media have begun to report Luo Yao's remarks.

They put a photo of Luo Yao on the newspaper and wrote a few big words next to it: "How long can the genius last with his stubbornness?"

Such reports quickly triggered global attention and discussion, and Luo Yao's name was once again thrust into the spotlight.

Faced with the indiscriminate bombardment from foreign media, Luo Yao did not choose to back down. He firmly believed in his scientific research philosophy and knew that his remarks were not wrong. The outside discussions did not affect him in the slightest.

genius?

This is just a title given to him by ordinary people, he doesn't care!

What he cares more about is the purity and authenticity of scientific research, the success or failure of every experiment, and the accuracy and precision of every data.

These are the "genius" labels in his mind, not the flashy praise or doubts from the outside world.

Just because ordinary people care about these things doesn't mean he cares.

He clearly knows that foreign media are using him to increase the attention of Starship V3 flying to Mars.

But it's obvious that those people's calculations were wrong.

"The Last Stubbornness" This time, Luo Yao felt that it should be given to NASA.
