Black tech predators

Chapter 317 [Can you get us a smaller one? 】

Several senior NASA staff present showed shock and extreme pessimism, and it was even difficult to accept that after the fall of the strongest competitor, the Soviet Union, it has been almost the best in the field of space for more than [-] years. As a latecomer Although China's Huaguo has independently embarked on a spaceflight road, although it is eye-catching, NASA actually doesn't care much in its heart.

But now I suddenly realize that the world is changing too fast, and the other party has reached the point where NASA can't catch up, and is suddenly surpassed, and no one can figure it out.

And this massive moon landing operation of Tianqing Technology Group has clearly felt a huge crisis for North America.

The moon is the "bridgehead" for entering space. Once it loses control of the moon, it will be locked in the earth, which is equivalent to killing the competition for the United States to enter the space age in an all-round way, and it is equivalent to killing the future.

"Hahaha, Nas~~, Nas——!!"

At this moment, Jim Bridenstine, the director of NASA, suddenly laughed excitedly, his face was flushed with excitement, and his face was full of excitement.

His bewildering laughter instantly silenced the other people in the conference room, and they all looked at the boss in bewilderment.

After a while, one of the men in the meeting whispered to another sitting next to him, "Is Jimmy mad?"

Jimmy is Jim's nickname. The person next to him nodded silently as he stared at the laughing BOSS, and said, "I think so."

Although the voice was small, it was still heard. Jim Bridenstine's laughter stopped suddenly. The gentleman stroked the collar of his formal suit, glanced at the two whisperers, and said lightly: " I'm not stupid, this is something NASA couldn't be happier about."

Still say you're not stupid?

Everyone was surprisingly unanimous in their slander, but this time they didn't murmur.

Looking at the crowd, Jim Bridenstine couldn't help being delighted, and said with undisguised excitement:

"With this sentence, it is enough for NASA to get tens of billions of dollars or more in the budget from those old antiques in Congress. The fact of the site, it can't be worse than this. On the contrary, this sentence has helped us a lot. I will talk to the 'Uncle Sam' in person tomorrow. This time there is enough reason to ask for more money. Haha~~"

Everyone: "..."

Hearing that BOSS can understand this incident with such a fresh and refined way of thinking, it is definitely a ghost's thinking, and everyone is speechless. It seems that it is not unreasonable for him to be the current director of NASA.

Space exploration is the inevitable development direction of human beings in the future. With the increasing population, the earth's resources will eventually be exhausted, and the resources in space are almost endless. The resource crisis in the human world can only be solved by space exploration in the future.

And whoever leads the age of great exploration of the universe will dominate the future of mankind, just like the age of great exploration more than 500 years ago.

Jim Bridenstine once again found "Uncle Sam" on the grounds of Tianqing Technology Group's successful commercial moon landing and re-evaluated the future world space competition pattern with great solemnity.

Then it got an additional 400 billion US dollars budget very smoothly.

What I have to say is that Li Peng's words made "Uncle Sam" very exciting, coupled with Jim Bridenstine's exaggerated exaggeration, the Congressional gentlemen trembled and allocated the funds... …

NASA's "Constellation Project" has already been sentenced to death. The success of Huaguo's "Chang'e Project" has stimulated North America's dominance on the moon, forcing this plan not to be killed, but it is still procrastinating to return to the moon. Because at that time, NASA had always dreamed of going to Mars, and some NASA insiders even proposed to give up returning to the moon and go directly to Mars.

However, the Mars project has been completely abandoned. The success of Tianqing Technology's commercial moon landing has directly stimulated North America's desire for the moon. Now that people from a second country have successfully landed on the moon, the strategic value embodied by the moon will change. become more and more important.

The Americans originally estimated that other countries would not land on the moon so quickly, but they never expected that private companies in Huaguo would be able to send dozens or even hundreds of people to the surface of the moon.

No, stimulated by Tianqing Technology Group's manned moon landing, NASA received a huge amount of funding, so it hastily proposed a plan to return to the moon in 2024, and it will return to the moon within the remaining three years.

……

Three days later, the Hive Headquarters of Shangdu Tianqing Technology Group.

"Mr. Gu, your declaration of landing on the moon really annoyed the whole world. Now the mainstream Western media has criticized us."

In a reception room of the company's headquarters, Gu Cheng was personally receiving the second in command of the National Aviation Administration. Hearing what he said, he was happy to hear it, and he obviously didn't care about it.

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "There is nothing you can do, you can't be furious, just ignore it."

Times have changed, and now Europe and the United States can only dare to speak out and dare not do anything about this. After all, the Skyblade fighter took off last year, and it still has a lingering power. Therefore, Huaguo has actually grasped almost absolute power over the sky.

What's more, the core business of Tianqing Technology Group is not in the civilian field. Although it has expanded to the civilian field market, the European and American markets are still secondary factors.

On the contrary, the modern industry in Europe and the United States is extremely dependent on Tianqing Technology Group. Without him, the export of natural carbyne is controlled by Tianqing Technology. After so many years, Europeans and Americans have not yet found a second A piece of natural carbyne vein.

The Americans are regretting it now. If they had known it would become what they are today, they should not have given up the fight for the natural carbyne veins of Gangguojin.

But now, the Americans dare not. They can only watch Tianqing Mining continue to mine and transport it back to the country. Don't dare to make up your mind.

Because of the strategic deterrence of the Skyblade fighter, it can support any location in the world within 28 minutes, and it is the most extreme thing to be able to become a fighter mech. Without the premise of targeting the Skyblade fighter, Lao Mei can only watch helplessly. ...

"This time I am here to express my solemn thanks on behalf of the National Aviation Administration. The 55 tons of materials were carried up by the Tianren spacecraft, which directly expanded the Tianzhou space station by nearly one-third, and saved more than 20 billion in launch costs. Precious time and cost are also saved." The second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration said with a smile.

"It's just a little effort. The valuable information provided by the National Aviation Administration of the Chang'e project has also given great help to this moon landing. If there is anything that the National Aviation Administration needs to take to the sky in the future, just prepare the things and say hello to us in advance. In the future, the Skyblade spacecraft will make frequent voyages to the earth and the moon, and you can pick it up along the way, and the toll will be free forever."

The second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration couldn't help but smile from ear to ear on the spot. Gu Cheng also knew that the National Aviation Administration had gradually given up on a series of rocket launch plans, and it would definitely be a ride on the Skyblade spacecraft in the future.

However, what Gu Cheng said was so polite, and the National Aviation Administration would not really keep doing it for free. It was one thing to say it, but another to do it.

"This time I came to business mainly for two things."

Gu Cheng nodded and said, "I would like to hear the details."

The second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration immediately said: "The first thing is to cooperate with the Tianqing Group's moon landing plan and send some scientists to it. I hope to provide a research site for them in the permanent base you built. Of course, technology is also important. Shared with Tianqing Group."

Gu Cheng hardly thought about it, and nodded on the spot: "There is no problem, the problem of water source needs to be solved urgently, and this cannot be separated from scientific research."

This is a good thing for mutual benefit and win-win. Tianqing Technology has no shortage of engineers, and it can cultivate them in batches through strong planting memory. Of course, these engineers also have the potential to become scientists, but it takes time.

So there is still an urgent shortage of real research scientists.

The issue of water is an important factor in the plan on the back of the moon. To build a cluster of factories on the back of the moon, there is a huge amount of industrial water. The volume of the Tianren spacecraft is indeed amazing, but it is still not enough to transport industrial water from the earth to the moon by spacecraft. In reality, it is absolutely impossible for the "Project All Stars" to be completed within more than 20 years.

Fortunately, since 2009, NASA has confirmed that there is water on the moon, and the Chang'e project has also verified the data released by NASA. Although the water content is very small, it is relative to the earth. For Gu Cheng to build a moon on the back of the moon The water resources required by the industrial clusters are completely sufficient.

The water on the moon mainly exists in the icy polar regions and in the lunar soil. In addition, the moon is rich in hydrogen and oxygen compounds, and industrial water can also be produced through chemical means.

"As for the second matter..." The second in command of the National Aviation Administration looked at Gu Cheng and said, "We also want to build an air-to-space transport plane. It's enough to hit your ride a few times. It's a bit unreasonable to keep doing it. I can't hold back this face."

Taking others' mercy, this Gu Cheng is right, and so is the National Aviation Administration.

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "No problem, my production line has not been closed yet, and it will be closed next year. I can build a second one at any time, but where does the National Aviation Administration get so much money? It's really not cheap. "

It is not an export, and the state will not intervene in restrictions. There is no reason why the National Aviation Administration should not accept the order. After all, Tianqing Technology is a commercial technology company.

It's not that Gu Cheng underestimated it, it's that this stuff is really beyond the reach of ordinary people and ordinary organizations.

The funding for the Chang'e project of the National Aviation Administration only accounts for one ten-thousandth of the national tax revenue. The budget for the first phase of the project is 14 billion, and it will be used in three or four years. The maximum annual cost is 4 million.

The entire Chang'e project is only a budget of tens of billions.

Now that Gu Cheng has sent people to the moon, the National Aviation Administration has to readjust the moon landing project and choose to cooperate with Tianqing Technology Group, which saves the third phase of the moon landing project, leaving tens of billions of dollars. funding.

Hearing Gu Cheng's words, the second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration couldn't help laughing. There was no way to refute this fact.

After a while, he said: "I have inquired about it, and the cost of one ship is [-] to [-] billion, and even if the National Aviation Administration sells it, it will not be able to make up the money, so... Uh, see if you can get us a slightly smaller one. Yes, it should be cheaper, right?"
