1998, Moon, Tianhe Lunar Base.

"Authentication successful, welcome to Tianhe Moon Base!"

When Margaret arrived at the Tianhe Moon Base on the lunar express car and listened to the mechanical voice coming from Chang'e's artificial intelligence sub-body, she became very excited.

This is the Tianhe Lunar Base. It is different from the base she imagined, and it is also different from the lunar base in movies and TV dramas.

The Tianhe Lunar Base seemed to be very busy, with many people coming and going, which confused her.

"Hello, Li, your moon base is already like a small town, are there so many astronauts?"

After reacting, Margaret asked in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Li Youzhang smiled and warned:
"Margaret, don't ask about the Tianhe Moon Base. This is the first warning. You should remember it and don't make the same mistake again."

There are indeed quite a few people in the base. Everyone comes and goes, busy with their own affairs. It is as busy as a small town.

Many buildings are under construction, and most of the people busy working on them are robots.

It's just that the distance was a bit far, so when Margaret saw these robots, she thought they were real people.

In fact, even if they get closer, there is a high probability that they will not be recognized because the robots are dressed almost the same as normal astronauts.

The astronauts are all wearing protective clothing, so they look no different from robots. Unless the astronauts reveal their identities on their own initiative, people like Li Youzhang would be able to recognize them because they are familiar with the place.

Margaret blushed after being warned and apologized quickly.

As a wealthy person like her, she rarely said the word "apology". But since she entered the space on the Overlord, she had forgotten how many times she had said it.

Margaret was fascinated by the bustling lunar base.

Tokyo University’s aerospace capabilities are too strong, and their farming talent is simply unmatched.

Even if we arrive on the moon, the first thing we will do is to get a piece of land and grow vegetables and rice.

Margaret had already seen a lot of rice, which was green and very beautiful.

She was looking forward to the next trip to the moon base more and more.

In Washington, George Walker and his friends gathered for a meeting. The content projected on the monitor in front of them was Margaret's latest status update.

There is not much to say about the text, the key is the important information revealed by those photos of Margaret.

Several of the photos show Margaret standing in front of rice fields, vegetable plots, lakes, etc. There are both long-range and close-up photos. In the long-range photos, Margaret's smiling face can be clearly seen, with the background being the endless starry sky and the earth.

In this day and age, photos can be synthesized or faked, even the location can be manipulated.

But a few days ago, a 30-second video was leaked. There was no sign of editing at all. It was just a very ordinary video, but it was enough to fully prove that she was on the moon.

Of course, this is news from the outside world. George Walker and others know best whether Margaret has actually gone to the Tianhe Moon Base.

Robert Pickering, director of the Aerospace Industry Bureau, had already made it clear that their satellite monitors had been observing the Overlord and were able to confirm that Margaret was on the Overlord space transport ship.

Even the time when Margaret updated her social media posts was almost the same as the time when Overlord arrived on the moon.

This is a very scary fact.

"Has the Intelligence Bureau not made any progress yet? They don't even know what specific signal transmission technology Dongda uses?"

George Walker asked with a slightly grim look on his face.

If it weren't for this time, they wouldn't have realized that the strength of Tokyo University has become so strong, it's simply terrifying to the extreme.

Robert and the others kept silent. They all lowered their heads and dared not speak, for fear that they would be scolded by George Walker again.

George Walker's good mood had disappeared ever since Margaret boarded the Overlord space transport ship and went into space.

This year is a general election year, and as class leader, George Walker is actually not too worried about the competition within their Elephant Party.

Therefore, before June this year, he did not have much to worry about. Only after September would he have a debate with the candidates from the opposing donkey side.

That time is crucial.

Even so, now that Margaret, a traitor, has appeared, what's even more terrible is that as Margaret reveals more and more information, George Walker and others become more and more worried.

You know, the moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. Margaret was able to update photos, videos, etc. on her personal social platform in real time, which is very telling.

That is, the Overlord space transport spacecraft of the University of Tokyo has far surpassed their Washington counterparts in terms of design, technology and communication systems.

As early as 1970, Washington was able to transmit photos or information from lunar probes back to Earth within one minute, but it was limited to photos or text information, and not a lot of data could be transmitted at one time.

In short, there will be various restrictions, which makes people uncomfortable.

However, nowadays, from the fact that Margaret updates her personal status on social platforms so frequently, we can see how awesome Dongda’s ultra-long-distance signal transmission technology is.

It's really too terrifying.

"Humph, trash, stupid!"

After a long silence, George Walker saw that no one responded, so he spoke angrily.

What’s the use of having these people if they don’t even know what communication technology Tokyo University uses?
Internationally, or in other words, signal transmission in space in Washington is mainly through electromagnetic waves, laser communication technology, satellite communication technology and infrared communication technology.

However, these technologies cannot allow people to instantly transmit large amounts of video, image and other information, because this involves an extremely long distance of 380,000 kilometers, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people's communication technology.

Take laser communication technology as an example. This is a high-speed, high-precision communication technology that uses laser beams to transmit information in space.

Compared with electromagnetic wave communication technology, laser communication technology has the advantages of faster transmission speed and higher transmission quality. It can also achieve more secure communication and prevent information from being eavesdropped or hacked.

However, even laser communication technology has its disadvantages, that is, the transmission distance is relatively short. If you want to have a longer information transmission distance, you will need more equipment and technical support.

But if George Walker remembered correctly, Washington did not seem to have such technology.

Why? Because if you want to have a longer transmission distance, it means you need to add more devices and more advanced technology to match.

But in fact, whether it is a probe or a spacecraft, they all hope that the weight and volume of the communication equipment can be reduced rather than continue to increase.

The reason is naturally due to rocket launch technology. In order to send heavier spacecraft into space, more powerful power is needed.

So, this is the crux of the contradiction, a technology that is difficult to break through.

Nowadays, considering that Margaret updates her personal status so frequently in space, if, assuming, Margaret did not enter space and all this was just Dongda's "personal show", then it would be understandable.

But George Walker and his men are not fools, and Robert Pickering and his men dare not deceive George Walker and his men, otherwise, it would not be as simple as being fired.

Since the University of Tokyo is not engaging in false "propaganda", Margaret really went to the moon and transmitted what she saw and heard on the moon back to Earth in real time.

So what kind of communication technology does Todai use?

"Robert, I don't care what method you use. I will only give you three days. If you cannot obtain this information within three days, you will submit your resignation report."

A little later, an exasperated George Walker issued an ultimatum to Robert Pickering.

He didn't care about Robert's suddenly ugly expression, and turned to Hassan Norton Parker and Andrew Baram and said:

"Hasen, Andrew, the two of you should draw up a plan. I need to know a detailed plan for the Dongda Aerospace Group and a specific cost list, as well as what kind of technology and equipment we can use to make Dongda compromise."

"This is an election year, and we don't have much time left. If we can't be re-elected, then we can only be like the businessmen before us, with only one round in the White House."

"So, no matter what, there is still more than half a year left, we must seize the opportunity to win more votes and strive to enhance our prestige."

George Walker was not fighting a last-ditch battle, nor was it the critical moment yet.

However, he needs to put some pressure on people like Andrew Baram. He must make sure that these people stop pursuing personal interests. It is time to consider surviving first and then pursuing personal interests.

In Washington, once you become an official, you can actually receive "gift money" normally. How much you can get depends on your strength and ability.

In short, if his election is delayed because of people like them because of some "gift money", he will never let them off easily.

Upon hearing this, Sorisganat and the others all changed their expressions slightly, and prayed silently in their hearts that this matter had nothing to do with them.

On the other side, in Cuihua Hutong, Beijing, in the study of Old Chen’s family.

Chen Ce found his grandfather alone and asked about his second uncle Chen An's trip to the moon, because he also wanted to go to the moon.

"Grandpa, how much money do you need? Do you really need 500 million US dollars? Although this amount of money is a bit much, I can still afford it."

"Grandpa, we just need to go to the moon anonymously. The outside world will definitely not know about this, and I don't need this fame."

After quietly waiting for Chen Ce to finish speaking, Chen Guohua glared at him unhappily:

"You are so smart that you know to go there anonymously, but do you think you are really anonymous when you say anonymous? How can you be sure that the satellites in Washington will not be watching you all the time?"

Innocent!

Chen Guohua waved his hand, interrupting his grandson who was about to continue speaking, and continued:

"Just give up on this idea. Anyway, you won't be able to go to the moon in the short term. Go out and explain it to your two brothers. I won't repeat it to them anymore. It's annoying!"

Recently, not only his three grandsons, but even the second oldest, Chen An, has not been very law-abiding.

Last time, Chen Guohua scolded the second brother, and he was depressed for several days.

Afterwards, I don't know what happened, but he came back to me again and insisted on going to the moon.

So Chen Guohua had to give the other party a task, and if he completed it, he would be allowed to go to the moon.

According to the mission schedule, after Chen An completes it, it will probably be the turn of their Little Sun Project Department to go to the moon.

However, before Chen An completed the task, Margaret had already started returning to Earth.

As Margaret updated her status on her personal social media platform, many people were paying attention to this matter and learned that she was about to return to Earth.

The entire interstellar journey was not very long, but for Margaret, the past period of time was a very wonderful journey.

Now she is going back to Earth, which means she is going to end this wonderful journey.

I was reluctant to leave, but I had to go back because the itinerary had already been arranged and could not be changed.

"Where is the landing site? We'll go and welcome you!"

A fan responded to this message and immediately received many likes and follows.

So, all of a sudden, the news about Margaret's return to Earth spread all over the Internet, and many people who liked to follow the news received this information first.

There is no way around it. Most of the self-media and even official media have reported on this matter. After all, Margaret's participation in interstellar travel has been the hottest and most popular news in recent times.

She is the first billionaire in the world to participate in interstellar travel, and she is also a beautiful billionaire with a very high appearance value. With multiple buffs superimposed, it would be strange if her traffic did not explode.

Many prominent users replied that the landing site must be in a desert in the northwest of Dongda.

As soon as I saw these replies, I knew that these people were definitely international students from the University of Tokyo.

It’s no wonder that, recently, because of Margaret, the world’s attention has been focused on Todai.

Many people even traveled to Dongda University, opening a new era of self-media and gaining a lot of traffic.

In the northwest, there is a satellite launch center that is not open to the public, but the TV station broadcast the entire landing process of Margaret live.

TV stations are also very good at seizing traffic hotspots, so be prepared early.

The guns and cannons were set up, waiting for the Overlord space transport ship carrying Margaret to land.

While everyone's attention was focused on the Northwest, in Chang'e Town, Chen Guohua was paying attention to the Lingxiao in front of him. (End of this chapter)
