Chapter 241 Probing and Discussion



For America, the threat from China is real and imminent.

Even in the interstellar age, resources are not unlimited, and China is the only country that can directly pose a strategic threat to Mars.

The Europa League and Russia have either fallen behind in the space field for too long or are severely unbalanced in their specializations.

Russia's economy is unable to maintain its previous all-round competitive position; it has been contracting for more than 30 years.

The Europa League, on the other hand, is biased, relying on cooperation with America in many areas. Now that cooperation is no longer possible and it needs to start from scratch, it has discovered that there is too much to fill in the gaps.

Another important point is that while the Europa League plan was well-conceived, its implementation was problematic.

Take the Galileo system as an example. The Galileo satellite navigation system was announced as early as 1999, and it was clearly stated at the time that it was intended to break America’s dependence on GPS and break its monopoly.

In 2003, China signed a cooperation agreement with the Europa League, investing 230 million euros to participate in the Galileo project.

However, due to the Europa Union's refusal to allow China to participate in the core technology layer, and the subsequent shift in political winds, China officially withdrew from the project and resolved to build its own satellite navigation system.

This is the origin of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. If China and the European Union had cooperated well, there would be no BeiDou as we know it today.

BeiDou started six years later than Galileo. As a result, by the end of 2012, Galileo had only launched six satellites, while China's BeiDou had launched a total of 16.

At that time, only the golden frequency band of 1260-1300MHz remained for satellite navigation systems. Beidou later surpassed it and occupied the satellite frequency band that Europe had originally planned to use.

This incident shows that the Europa League often has plans in the aerospace field early on, but execution is often problematic, and budgets are frequently reduced.

Upon learning of the collaboration between China and the European Union regarding longevity drugs, America immediately sought to sabotage the partnership.

As the eldest son, he couldn't stand seeing the second and third sons hanging out together.

Moreover, China and the European Union complement each other almost perfectly in many areas.

If this cooperation between the two parties can have a pleasant start and lay the foundation for more cooperation in the future, it would undoubtedly be a piece of bad news for America.

A simple example is that China's Zhurong Mars rover only landed on Mars in July 2020.

The Europa Union's Mars Express Mars probe was launched into Mars orbit in 2003 and has orbited Mars more than 6,000 times.

Evidence that parts of the Martian surface were once covered by oceans, including remnants of large rivers, was captured by the Mars Express.

At the time, the Europa Union also launched a lander called Beagle 2 on Mars.

If the data accumulated by the Europa Union in Mars exploration were provided to China, it would be of great help to China's Mars landing mission.

Russia's observational data on the moon saved China at least two years.

However, compared to the European Union, Russia is not a threat.

Of course, America has nothing to offer Russia to impress them, so they shouldn't associate with China.

In an effort to prevent cooperation between the two sides, the American side sent a special envoy to the Europa Union to pave the way for a subsequent substantive visit at a higher level.

Witten, who had previously visited Stockholm, was a surprise guest during this visit to the Europa League.

Jean-Pierre and Wiles from France were in charge of receiving Witten.

Witten's expertise in mathematics allowed him to have many common topics with the two top mathematicians.

"I can't believe it's been seven years since we last met. Seven years have passed, and we've both become magicians."

The three last met at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro in 2018.

"Who would have thought that magic existed in the world? Although I am a theist, I always thought that God was high above and would not interfere in anything in the human world."

"Merlin is not a god. He was a pioneer in the field of magic, far from being an omniscient and omnipotent god."

"He is certainly not a god, but magic has appeared, so how far away can the appearance of a god be? The more I study magic, the more pessimistic I become about the future of humanity."

"Unlike you two, I am optimistic. The help that the Magic Brain provides to scientific research is obvious to all. In recent years, breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies have become more and more common, and a technological boom similar to that of the 1980s and 1990s is about to arrive."

This time we will enter the interstellar age, even if we can only colonize within the solar system, it is still the interstellar age.

Humanity's future has never been better.

"This is the ideal situation. No one knows where Merlin wants to lead humanity yet."

"Didn't the bounty missions on the magic forum say it quite directly? The stars, Merlin needs humanity to enter the interstellar age."

In his view, Mars was merely the starting point.

"What is said on the surface may not be his true thoughts. The unknown substances that are scattered throughout the ocean have not yet been determined, and Merlin's true purpose is shrouded in mystery."

I hope that humanity's future will truly be as you say.

Compared to Witten and Wiles, French mathematicians were clearly more socialist in their thinking.

Jean-Pierre, born in 1926, still vividly remembers the Algerian events of 1971.

There are important historical reasons why France's liberal leftism is more pronounced than that of the other two countries present here.

As Pierre said, "The best of times for mankind may only be the best of times for a few."
