In the conference hall, in a large row of simultaneous interpretation rooms, interpreters of all languages are ready.

All microphones and headphones are also checked and prepared in advance, and their functions are fine.

Dedicated sound engineers, video photographers, and transcriptionists are ready to go.

"Let's get started. ”

In order to cope with the surging cries, the host, who chose to respond in this way, Bao Jiaqi spoke.

The people at the round table nodded together, and on the seats in the annular area of the outer circle, everyone lifted their spirits and listened to the simultaneous translation coming from the headphones.

"Let me start with the background of this meeting. Bao Jiaqi said slowly, "Not long ago, Flint Aerospace completed the first launch of the Candledragon 2 rocket and successfully sent a spacecraft weighing 143.9 tons to LEO orbit. At a subsequent press conference, Flint Space announced that this was the first step in a space station program called Flint Space City. ”

"Because the planning of the flintstone space city is very ambitious, it has aroused the concerns of the interests represented by all of you, and raised questions and demands from all sides. In order to respond to these demands in a unified manner and to refute these doubts in person, we advocate the convening of this summit. Now, first of all, I would like to ask Jian Yushu, CEO of Flint Space, to make a statement on the Flint Space City plan. ”

Jian Yushu nodded to Bao Jiaqi, pressed the microphone switch in front of him, and then said: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, I am the current president of the Flint Group and the CEO of Flint Aerospace, Jian Yushu. ”

"First of all, I would like to affirm that Flint Space, as a licensed and duly incorporated commercial space company in China, has complete licensing procedures for all space activities in accordance with international regulations, including the two launches that have been completed by the Flint Space City program. ”

Jian Yushu paused, looked at Diane, Musk and NASA officials diagonally opposite, and said: "The plan of the Flint Space City is in line with the principle of the Outer Space Treaty for the free exploration and use of outer space, in line with the principle of registration of space objects, and there is no dangerous use. ”

"The establishment of the Flintstone Space City is a program designed for the benefit of all mankind, and the founding of the Flintstone Space University is a reflection of this spirit of research and exploration. We believe that the accusation that the Flint Space City program may interfere with or even damage the space activities of other countries and that the specific technical details of the program should be suspended and made public are in itself a violation of the principle of free exploration and interest. We welcome global cooperation based on friendly consultations, but reject unsubstantiated accusations with ulterior motives. ”

"In accordance with the provisions of the Outer Space Treaty, we have informed the public and the scientific community of the relevant information about Flint Space City to the greatest extent possible and practical. I think that the specific technical details should not be within the scope of what needs to be published. In the past, there was no precedent for the publication of such details in your space activities. It can't be treated differently just because the planning of the flintstone space city is huge. ”

"In the same vein, we are willing to follow the principles of the outer space treaty and welcome global cooperation after the completion of the launch and construction of the core part of the flintstone space city. In this regard, Flint Space already has such a plan, but it exists in the third stage. In the past, your space program also did not have the precedent of bringing in other partners at the very beginning of the core phase. ”

"To sum up, the plan of the Flint Space City is in line with the current rules of space exploration and development. We refute the groundless accusations against Flint Space, we have the will to cooperate openly, and we also have the right to choose partners. ”

"Thank you. ”

After Jian Yushu finished speaking, Gu Song gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

On such an occasion, it seems a bit out of place.

But his young face doesn't make this action seem out of place.

Diane, who was dealing with Gu Song face-to-face for the first time, frowned and thought about how to reply.

Rules are always rules.

The shrewd predecessors, as early as the birth of something new, tried to comprehensively consider all the possibilities of the future. The various stakeholders of the time, as a result, developed a treaty on the development of outer space.

In fact, it is the countries that have the power to trigger this outer space treaty.

Everyone is afraid of each other, and naturally they have always been under the framework and discussed.

And now, the landscape is starting to change. A private company is beginning to have the ability to trigger the issue in this field, and it is already an issue that makes them highly nervous.

A giant space station with an interior space of 10 million cubic meters in the future!

This plan made their scalps tingle.

At this time, the weakness of this paper agreement is reflected.

As a matter of fact, when people with enough power want to go their own way, how can others restrain them? Space exploration, development, and utilization are themselves based on whether they have the ability or not.

I have the ability to go up, I have the ability to do something, and you can't, why should you stop me?

In the end, it still depends on the battle on the ground.

Therefore, on paper and legally, there is really no reason for them to make such a request to Flint Aerospace and Huaguo.

However, this must be fought for!

Diane said: "The CEO of Flint Aerospace has finished speaking, and it is time to enter the stage of other representatives' statements. ”

It stands to reason that the host should still have control over the agenda. In the face of Diane's interjection, Bao Jiaqi didn't care and motioned for her to say.

"Obviously, with such a large space station program, its potential risks cannot be ignored. The safe and effective control of it requires sufficient comprehensive and sufficient historical precipitation experience. Once it gets out of control, countless spacecraft in orbit will be affected, and even a catastrophic impact on the surface of the earth will be possible. ”

Diane said it for granted: "Such a huge space station is far beyond the conventional perception of what it called a low-Earth orbit spacecraft when it was registered." I am confident that, apart from Flint Space and your country itself, all other delegates will agree that a space program of this level should be subject to a higher level of oversight, including technical and safety assessments, as a special case. Only in this way will it be in line with the Convention on Principles relating to Peaceful Uses in the Outer Space Treaty!"

Diane looked around for a week, then continued: "In the past, it has always been the responsibility of the state as the main body in the implementation of the outer space treaty. Although there are provisions for non-governmental organizations such as Flint Spaceflight, they can also conduct space exploration activities in accordance with the principles under the supervision of the State party. However, since Flint Aerospace has demonstrated or even surpassed the national level of space capabilities, it cannot exploit such a loophole and use the pretext of commercial space trade secrets and other excuses to cover up the details of such space activities that are enough to cause unease to the whole world. ”

She concluded with a categorical sentence: "I formally propose that the outer space treaty should be amended once! The amendment plan should add a clause that a certain announced space program, which has been proposed by a certain contracting party and has been agreed by a majority of all contracting parties, can be regarded as a mandatory space program of the international level and implemented under a special technical and jurisdictional framework!"

All of a sudden, some people who had already discussed it in advance echoed one after another, obviously in a raging mood.

Gu Song laughed, turned on the microphone and coughed twice, waited for the venue to be quiet, and then asked with a smile: "Mrs. Diane, you must know that it is my freedom to be willing to announce the complete plan of the Flint Space City." Now, what if I abandon the Flintstone Space City program, and what if I only carry out the first phase of the seven modules that I said not long ago?"

Diane's face stiffened when she heard this.

There was some mockery in Gu Song's expression: "Just think I'm too young to like these round-and-forth routines." Think carefully and communicate openly. If you just want to restrain me so that I can't do something, it's a hostile posture, and I will choose the corresponding measures. If you want to get something out of me, then don't threaten me yet, it's better to show sincerity. As you know, I'm a scientist first and foremost, and my time shouldn't be wasted in such endless and meaningless bickering. ”

Musk smiled as he listened.

Gu Song continued: "Jian Yushu has made it very clear that we have not destroyed anyone's interests, because no one has ever obtained this so-called space benefit. We also have open plans, but that's in the future, and we certainly have the right to pick and choose partners. As for whether we have the ability to achieve safe and effective control over the Flint Space City, this is still doubtful? What is comprehensive enough and sufficient experience with historical precipitation? Questioning us who have made artificial intelligence, quantum computers, and the most powerful rocket in history, such reasons are ridiculous!"

After listening to this, Bao Jiaqi smiled and said, "I suggest that we discuss more constructive content." The plan of the flint space city is beneficial to all mankind. What we should be thinking about is how to help Flint Space achieve this unprecedented feat. At the same time, it is the opportunity provided by Flint Aerospace. The framework of the third phase of the cooperation construction of the flintstone space city, if you are willing to participate, please put it forward. As the supervisor of Flint Space and as a party to the Outer Space Treaty, our attitude is also the same. ”

Diane frowned and said, "I am against it, I insist that the outer space treaty needs to be amended. In accordance with the regulations, the amendment voting procedure shall be initiated!"
