Black tech predators

Chapter 318 [Humanity's first permanent base on the moon]

"You don't need a thousand-ton class, but a hundred-ton class is enough. How much can this lower the price?"

After finishing speaking, the second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration quietly looked at Gu Cheng expectantly, and he couldn't bear to do it, but he still said: "There is no technical problem in building a smaller one, but it is still a problem. It’s not cheap. It’s equivalent to redesigning a model and rebuilding a production line. It’s cost-effective and cost-effective, plus the investment in redesigning and building a new production line will cost more than 300 billion yuan.”

It seems to be nearly half cheaper, but compared to the reduction of nearly 85-90% in capacity, it is obviously not worth it.

The National Aviation Administration still can’t afford this price. After gritting their teeth for a year or two or three years, they can scrape together enough money to buy one. After all, many original research budgets such as the third phase of the moon landing project and rocket research and development can be saved. , and some other relatively unimportant items can also be cut.

But another big problem is that even if enough money is collected to buy it back, the maintenance fee of this spacecraft will cost billions a year, which is no different from a heavy burden for the National Aviation Administration.

"Actually, I think that the National Aviation Administration can not be so anxious, and the cost in the future will be greatly reduced." Gu Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, the second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration felt helpless. How long will this future take?
Immediately he complained: "How should I put it... It's like a child passing by a toy store and suddenly fell in love with a favorite toy. He couldn't put it down, but he didn't buy it. Cat scratching, this feeling you..."

"I understand!" Gu Cheng said with a smile: "If you say that, the military will be even more serious. Maybe the military will agree with this plan. If the military can come to place an order, then the design and production line will be redesigned. The cost can be spread on the aircraft purchased by the military, and the National Aviation Administration can give you a quotation for the bare metal.”

The second in command of the National Aviation Administration couldn't help but his eyes lit up, nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's the only way, such an expensive thing... Sigh!"

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Buy early and enjoy early, buy late and get a discount."

After chatting for a while, the two parties ended the meeting.

As it said, Tianqing Technology has been criticized by overseas media, but what is intriguing is that there are few comments in North America, and the European media are the most vicious.

Lao Mei is beeping softly now. After all, Lao Mei was the first to overthrow the outer space treaty, and made a "Commercial Space Competition Act", which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart.

What I have to say is that the U.S. emperor is very pragmatic now. Although it is not wrong to spray it, more energy is still put on technology research and development and the "Constellation Project" to return to the moon. Lao Mei is also very clear, no matter how fierce the spray is It doesn't help. Going up to seize the territory is the most important thing now.

According to the current trend, it is very likely that Tianqing Technology is on the back of the moon, and the United States is on the front of the moon. As for other countries, they are completely incapable of coming up. One chooses two paths.

This choice is to hug the thigh, the two ways are to hug the thigh of the eagle sauce, or hug the thigh of the rabbit.

After all, Lao Mei has already landed on the moon in the last century, and has landed on six places on the front of the moon, which means that the US emperor has already occupied six sites in advance.

这六块地盘，分别是阿波罗11号着陆点宁静海、阿波罗12号着陆点赤道平原风暴海、阿波罗14号着陆点弗拉莫罗高地、阿波罗15号着陆点亚平宁山脉、阿波罗16号着陆点笛卡尔陨石坑、阿波罗17号着陆点陶勒斯-利特罗山谷。

These locations are all near the northern hemisphere on the lunar face and its equator.

Huaguo's previous Chang'e project Yutu landed in the Aitken Basin on the back of the moon, but there was no probe, so it was impossible to announce the issue of ownership.

But the Mendeleev meteorite impact crater, with Li Peng leaving footprints on it and uttering a declaration that caused a worldwide uproar, has already shown the world that I have occupied this crater.

……

On September 9, the Mendeleev meteorite impact crater on the back of the moon.

It is now the third day of the moon landing. The lunar landing team has sent five teams to drive the lunar rover around the southwest area of ​​the impact crater. Of course, it is not just wandering around, but looking for the most suitable base. site.

Li Peng was also in the No. 3 lunar rover team. Finally, the No. 5 lunar rover team confirmed the location of the permanent base 11 kilometers away from the landing area of ​​the Tianren spacecraft in the direction of 66 o'clock.

After the successful moon landing, a small team was dedicated to live broadcasting, just like the previous International Space Station.

This is what Gu Cheng requested.

On the one hand, the starting point is to show the world the power of Huaguo and Tianqing Technology in space exploration, exporting soft power; on the other hand, it is to enhance national self-confidence and pride, and cultivate enthusiasm for space exploration among the whole people.

Three days have passed, and the popularity of Tianqing Technology's official live broadcast remains high. Not only the official live broadcast channel, but also allows anyone to broadcast for free, on any network streaming media platform, and overseas YouTube has live broadcast topics There are also a large number of non-governmental self-media anchors rebroadcasting channels. After all, the popularity is there, and it is not surprising that the self-media is flocking to it.

Foreign melon-eating netizens sprayed, cursed and watched, envious.

It was also ridiculed by eating melon netizens as the strongest outdoor live broadcast in history, or ridiculed that the area of ​​Huaguo's enclave on the moon is constantly expanding.

Many foreign scientists are also watching. On the one hand, they are also preparing to consider going to Huaguo, or even going to work there. Maybe it is not just to watch the live broadcast here to speculate and study, but to really in-depth physical research. up.

After confirming the location of the base, on the afternoon of the 24th, except for the No. 5 lunar rover team, all other expedition teams have returned. Mengna once again drove the Skyblade spacecraft into the sky, and flew 66 kilometers to reach the designated location. .

At about 17 o'clock in the East Eighth District time, the spacecraft landed successfully again, and more than 80 team members took action according to their duties.

Li Peng has been promoted and is now the supervisor of a team of 25 people.

Everyone, including himself, thought that he would be punished for that sentence. At that time, Li Peng didn't think much about it at all, and said it completely naturally. When he came back to his senses, he was also shocked and confused. Say something like that.

Unexpectedly, not only was he not punished, he was promoted and his salary was raised. Li Peng was criticized abroad, but he was undoubtedly a hero in China.

This is enough.

"Be careful, unload all the materials out of the spaceship's cargo hold first." Li Peng shouted, then went to a corner of the cargo hold and opened a material storage box, found a small box inside, and jumped up and down with the poo in his hand. Hop down the cargo corridor to the surface of the moon again.

After three days, the members of the lunar landing have adapted to moving on the lunar surface.

Pedal trotting, lifelike humanoid bunny hops, all wearing the most cool and domineering power armor out of cabin suits, one by one is a bunny hop, the contrast is so cute that the audience on the ground can't help but smile, The more I look at it, the more I want to experience it myself.

This live broadcast is definitely much more enjoyable than watching Hollywood space sci-fi movies. One is a drama movie, and the other is a real event that is happening. There is no comparison at all.

At this moment, the team in charge of the live broadcast saw Li Peng walking towards an open space in the distance, and he followed with his camera on his shoulders, and a member in charge of the live broadcast immediately switched the camera to it.

The audience on the earth is also very curious. It is worth mentioning that the live broadcast has a clear live picture, but there is no sound, because it is blocked, so this is a silent live broadcast. After all, it outputs soft power and enhances national pride and honor. At the same time, the corresponding confidentiality is still required.

The audience saw through the live broadcast that Li Peng opened the box he was carrying, took out a stretchable metal pole first, and then erected the metal pole on the surface of the moon with the assistance of another team member. , the audience on the earth saw this scene, and roughly guessed what Li Peng was going to do.

Domestic audiences were inexplicably excited, while foreign audiences were full of complexities.

Sure enough, his guess was correct, Li Peng took out a flag from the box, stared at it, and suddenly said: "If miracles have a color, then it must be red."
