Chapter 164: Money and Technology
Governments around the world are also extremely concerned about this matter, after all, China is not going to go to the moon this time to take a few photos, and then bring back some samples of soil and stones, China is ready to move seriously this time, to establish a permanent base on the moon, to develop lunar resources!
What are resources? Resources are productivity. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info modern civilization of mankind is based on mineral resources and energy resources, without copper, iron, aluminum and other mineral resources, no coal, oil and other energy resources, human beings will return to the agricultural society. Therefore, today, when the earth's mineral resources are depleted day by day, the development of the lunar mineral resources is very attractive! Because mankind has confirmed that the moon has abundant mineral resources and energy resources!
The main reason for not developing lunar resources now is the lack of technical strength, and in addition, the cost of traveling to and from the moon is also outrageous. But technology will advance, and in the future, the cost of traveling to and from the moon will certainly be reduced to an acceptable level. It could take decades, but governments can afford to wait, because other countries don't have the capacity to exploit it, and the moon's resources aren't diminishing.
But now it is different, the Chinese have anti-gravity technology and intelligent robots, and the development of lunar resources is already a sure thing, if they do not hurry up, the lunar resources will be completely occupied by the Chinese. Especially the millions of tons of helium-3 resources on the moon are enough energy for human beings to use for tens of thousands of years, and if the Chinese occupy helium-3, they will be subject to China's energy in the future!
Therefore, governments are greatly stimulated at this moment!
United States, White House.
Mr. President is convening an emergency meeting with NASA Administrator John Bolden, Google founder and CEO Larry Page, and more than a dozen well-known scientists in the United States.
"Mr. President, with Zhang Wei's anti-gravity technology and intelligent robots, China is fully capable of building a permanent base on the moon and developing the rich resources on the moon, if we don't catch up, the entire moon will be occupied by them, and the moon represents the future!"
"We must restart the moon landing program, send astronauts and a large number of robots to the moon, and even if we can't develop the lunar resources for the time being, we must occupy enough territory on the moon, and now the moon is terra nullius, as long as we plant the national flag, we can declare it the territory of the United States, and no one can violate it!"
Larry Page also spoke, "Mr. President, the importance of the moon to mankind is self-evident, which country occupies more territory on the moon, which country will have an advantage in the future, Google is willing to contribute to the return of the United States to the moon, our company can develop engineering robots, explore and develop resources on the moon." ”
Bolden and Larry Page took the initiative to do so, of course, for the sake of profit, as long as the United States restarted the moon landing program, NASA could get a large budget, and Google could also get a large order.
"I will apply to Congress, and in the face of huge pressure from the Chinese, Congress will definitely make the right choice." ”
Mr. President said confidently.
A few hours later, the U.S. Congress convened an emergency session, and after a heated debate, Congress approved the return to the moon plan and generously gave a budget of $300 billion!
According to this plan to return to the moon, the United States will send robots to the moon earlier than China, and establish a permanent base on the moon to develop lunar resources!
Later, the United States held a press conference and announced the plan to return to the moon, causing the American people to cheer! When they heard about the Chinese's lunar landing plan, the Americans held a breath in their hearts, the United States landed on the moon 50 years ago, at that time it was ready to establish a permanent base for development and research on the moon, and later due to a series of reasons, this plan was delayed indefinitely, and now the Chinese want to take the lead in establishing a base on the moon and developing lunar resources, how can this work? The United States has already lost to China in the field of anti-gravity and intelligent robots, and in the field of space, it must not lose again! The United States can no longer afford to lose, and if it loses again, it will even lose hope for the future!
After the United States announced its plan to return to the moon, other countries that were stimulated were not far behind and launched their plans to go to the moon!
The government of the Russian Federation has announced that Russia is ready to send cosmonauts to the moon within three years and establish a permanent base on the lunar surface, which will be used for research and mining of valuable minerals.
The European Space Agency (ESA) also announced that it will carry out a manned lunar landing program within three years, and establish a permanent base on the lunar surface to develop lunar resources.
Japan is not far behind, they actually have a lunar landing plan for a long time, originally expected to land on the moon in 2019, but due to a series of problems, it has not been successful until now, after this stimulus, they announced that they will land on the moon within three years and establish a permanent base.
India has also jumped out, over the years, India's economy has developed rapidly, and confidence has also been highly inflated ~ inflated, they have already formulated a detailed plan to land on the moon, wanting to land on the moon before China, in order to show that India's space technology surpasses China. However, Zhang Wei carried anti-gravity technology to the world, so that China's space technology has developed by leaps and bounds, India also knows that it is impossible to land on the moon in front of China, but they are not far behind, and also announced that they will increase the space budget, achieve a manned landing on the moon within four years, and establish a base on the moon.
In addition, South Korea has also announced a plan to land on the moon, with the Taeji flag flying on the moon and enclosing land on the moon. After South Korea appeared, North Korea was naturally not to be outdone, announcing that it would land on the moon within five years. Of course, people just laugh at the moon landing programs of South Korea and North Korea, and if you are serious, you will lose.
For a time, all over the world, countries with strength and ambition have come up with plans to land on the moon, and a battle for space hegemony that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder has begun, and in the eyes of people of insight, China is already in the leading position! The United States has strong economic strength and scientific and technological strength, and if it were not for anti-gravity technology, China would be 40 years behind the United States in sky technology. Russia inherited the legacy of the former Soviet Union, and originally had a fight with the United States in technology, but Russia is too poor, has no money for research and development, and the progress of technology is very slow, and now it can only rank third. Europe has a strong economy and a deep scientific and technological heritage, ranking fourth. Japan has money, but it has not accumulated enough in the field of space technology, and it is in fifth place. India's economic strength and technological strength can barely be put on the table, and it can be ranked sixth. As for other countries, it can only be said that they have ambitions, but their strength cannot keep up, after all, space technology measures the comprehensive strength of a country, and it is necessary to have both money and technology accumulation, both of which are indispensable!
However, people around the world probably wouldn't have thought that there is another person who wants to join this space battle for supremacy, and this person is, of course, Zhang Wei!
Zhang Wei is rich and rivals the country, and he has obtained the design data of the spaceship, which can be said to have both money and technology, as well as several hidden black technologies, if he has to give Zhang Wei a position, Zhang Wei is in the leading position! Okay, he is ready to fight the whole world by himself! )
