Chapter 163, Uncle Sam in action
"Great!"

After receiving Yan Ping's affirmative answer, Bezos was so excited that he almost jumped up, and then he calmed down slightly and asked again: "Mr. Yan Ping, I wonder if we can buy some things from Chang'e City and bring them over there." Woolen cloth?"

"I'm afraid this is not possible. You also know that the materials on the moon are all brought by us from the earth. It is a long distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Every material is very precious."

Yan Ping shook his head slightly. The Lunar Chang'e Base does not have the ability to circulate itself at all. Whether it is the water to drink or the air to breathe, they are all brought from the earth.

"Mr. Yanping, please help me, we will satisfy you in terms of price."

Bezos had already been prepared for the other party to refuse in his heart, and without hesitation, he offered sugar-coated bullets again. If there is anything that money can't solve, it must be that the money is not in place.

"I will ask my superiors for instructions on this matter, and I will inform you as soon as possible if there is any news."

Yan Ping thought about it for a while, and then slowly said, he can make decisions about the moon tour, but he can't make the decisions about purchasing supplies. After all, the supplies on the moon side are still very precious. To a certain extent, if the procurement is really released at that time, then Chang'e City's own operating needs will be affected to some extent.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yanping, and please help me a lot. The price is really easy to talk about. We just feel that it is inappropriate to meet our astronauts empty-handed, so we want to bring some gifts."

Bezos felt a little disappointed, but he didn't give up. After saying goodbye to Yan Ping, he quickly contacted the domestic side of the earth, and directly contacted Uncle Sam's President's Office, expressing such an idea to his president, and hoped that Mr. President Being able to talk to Huaxia may not be good for my own face, but the president's face is completely different.

"Yan Ping, agree to their request to purchase materials, but not all materials are open to them to purchase, and the quantity is also limited. Since they have money, then let them have a good meal. Anyway, we use aerospace planes to transport materials. The cost is also very low, this time I will make a lot of money from them."

Soon, Yanping received a notice from his superiors, agreeing to their procurement of supplies. President Uncle Sam called Huaxia in person. This point of face is still to be given. After all, it does not involve any high-tech things. It's just some common supplies, but they can't be cheap, anyway, they are a group of fat sheep, how can they be worthy of them if they don't slaughter them severely.

Bezos and others, who received a positive answer from Yanping, began to act excitedly. Yanping gave a list of the materials they could purchase, as well as their quantity, price, and specifications.

"Transmit this list to the country immediately. NASA scientists are waiting and they will give us their opinions."

"Now everyone can officially publish the fundraising on their homepage. Everyone is taking action to raise as much money as possible. The price of Huaxia people is too expensive. A bottle of 500ML mineral water is actually asking for 10 yuan. Beautiful knives are too expensive!"

Bezos told Alison who was in charge of contacting NASA, and then told the other rich people. The price on the list was so expensive that even the world's top rich people couldn't help it when they saw it. Take a breath.

The simplest mineral water costs US$10, and other valuable materials are even more expensive, such as compressed air. A standard cubic meter of compressed air with a standard pressure costs US$1000 million, and even they have always wanted to The price of the steak brought over has also doubled several times, and it costs 100 million US dollars a piece.

This is simply Chiguoguo's money grabbing, but there is no way, who said that this is the moon, who said that Bezos said at the beginning that money is not a problem.

In Uncle Sam's country, the influence of these top rich people cannot be ignored. Everyone's assistants in the country announced the news almost immediately, set up a fundraising fund, and started to operate. Soon, the news headlines , mobile phone text messages, news advertisements, virtual world news, etc., almost every Uncle Sam has received relevant information.

"More than 20 rich people who are traveling on the moon want to visit the aerospace heroes who are currently working on the moon. Through their unremitting efforts, they have obtained permission to purchase a batch of supplies from Huaxia Moon Chang'e City as gifts."

"Everyone knows that the materials on the moon are very scarce. The cost of sending materials to the moon by spacecraft is very high, and we face great risks. So if we can purchase as many materials as possible from Huaxia Chang'e City this time In the past, it could greatly relieve the pressure on NASA, and it could also greatly speed up the construction of our lunar base."

"However, the materials here in Huaxia are very expensive, and everyone needs to contribute together. Those who have money will contribute, and those who have no money will help forward it."

Soon, not only Uncle Sam's people in the whole country knew the news, but everyone in the world knew the news, which surprised countless people, and they were able to do this.

Uncle Sam's news media greatly appreciated the behavior of more than 20 rich men who traveled on the moon. The people in Uncle Sam's country were also very enthusiastic about it, and the number of fund accounts set up began to soar crazily.

In Uncle Sam’s country, the president of Uncle Sam said that he would personally donate 1000 million US dollars for this purchase plan. Hollywood superstars, sports stars, etc. also joined in the fun, a lot, a lot American knives were donated; ordinary people, elementary school students, and even poor people who still had to rely on relief also showed their hearts.

In less than an hour, the fund account set up by Bezos and others received more than US$1 billion in donations, and as more and more people joined, especially politicians, celebrities, rich people, etc. Taking the lead, the subsequent donations were even more rapid, and the funds collected in a short time exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars.

Uncle Sam's powerful side of hiding wealth in the people is vividly reflected at this moment. Maybe Uncle Sam's government has no money, and the whole world owes a lot of debt, but Uncle Sam's people are very rich.

After it was launched, the power was unprecedentedly strong, especially now that it can be said that the whole country is concerned and everyone is involved. Rich people like Bezos, Buffett, and Gates on the moon are even more generous. Buffett, Gates, Bezos, Ellie Sen's richest tycoons each contributed 5 million US dollars, and the others started at least 1 million US dollars. These 20 people alone raised billions of dollars.

Moreover, these rich people personally asked their friends to beg for food one by one. In the virtual world, these top rich people invited the top rich men in Uncle Sam's country to give a speech, and the funds raised were naturally considerable. .

At this time, it was the beginning of Uncle Sam's plan to return to the moon. The whole nation paid close attention to it, and the funds raised became larger and larger, which also made the people on NASA's side ecstatic.

At this time, in a conference room at NASA headquarters, a team of scientists who were urgently recruited gathered together. On the huge monitor screen was the list and price of materials sent by Yanping to Bezos. They were discussing how to use the existing As much funds as possible, purchase as many and most useful materials as possible.

Purchasing materials directly from Chang’e City on the moon to Wells area is much simpler, more convenient, safer, more reliable, and faster than Uncle Sam’s own rocket-launched spacecraft to transport to the moon base, which can greatly speed up the process of returning to the moon.

"This is the list provided by Huaxia Moon Chang'e City. This time I would like to thank the rich people in our country. Their generosity can greatly speed up the progress of our return to the moon plan. Now the fund they have set up has raised a huge amount of more than 1500 billion US dollars. Funds, what we have to do now is to use these funds as much as possible to purchase the most urgently needed things for our moon base.”

Lawrence, the person in charge, had a loud voice and seemed very excited. If Uncle Sam was only relying on Uncle Sam to carry the materials to the moon, the progress of the return to the moon plan would be very slow. Where to go, and the cost will be huge.

"Water must be purchased as much as possible. Water is very important to maintain the life of astronauts, but it is not like other substances that can be compressed, etc. It takes up a lot of volume. They sell a bottle of water for $10, but it is not at all. It is expensive, and it is recommended to purchase all the quota given by them, so that we can save a lot of space in our next plan.”

Immediately, a scientist stood up and spoke. The first thing he looked at was water resources. On the side of the moon, which is nearly 40 kilometers away from the earth, water resources are the most precious resources. One can live for a week without food, but without water, three days in a row Days can not live.

The other scientists nodded their heads, and they also attached great importance to water resources.

"Compressed air is also purchased. In this way, the survival of astronauts on the moon is at least worry-free."

"There is also no shortage of food. Our astronauts eat compressed food on the moon, which can only guarantee nutrition and taste is very poor. Purchasing some delicacies used to greatly ease their emotions on the moon."

Soon, many scientists expressed their opinions one by one and made a purchase list. It can be said that everything on the list actually wanted to be moved to their moon base, but this The price is too expensive. Even if you have a huge fund of 1500 billion U.S. dollars in your hands, you still have to choose.
