Downstairs of the Future Man Building, media trucks from all over the world gathered. The press conference on the first floor of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was even more crowded, and reporters with different skin tones and hair colors entered the venue early and sat in their respective seats under the guidance of the staff. Photographers set up long guns and short guns in the back row, lined up in dense rows, all the cameras focused on the podium directly in front of the venue, waiting for the press conference to begin.

didn't make them wait long, as soon as the hour hand passed nine o'clock, a soft light lit up from behind the podium, Jiang Chen, who was dressed in a black suit, walked to the podium, calmly picked up the microphone, smiled slightly at the camera of the audience, and spoke.

"Thank you for coming from thousands of miles to attend Transwarp's press conference, and on behalf of Transwarp's Board of Directors, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you. ”

"I think you already know what this press conference is about. According to our discussions with the New China Space Agency, from now on, the New Country Lunar Colony will be officially renamed Guanghan City, and from now on, it will exist as a new country autonomous city like Penglai City. Xinguo has sovereignty over Penglai City, and Transwarp Trade enjoys the right of urban autonomy as a Xinguo enterprise. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of discussion in the audience. Although these reporters from all over the world have learned from the materials in their hands about the renaming of the lunar colony by the Star Ring Trade, there is no mention in the materials that the new country will enjoy the sovereignty of Penglai City!

What a joke about swearing sovereignty over the territory of the moon!

Many journalists, especially those in the West, can't help but raise their hands high. However, Jiang Chen only glanced at them, and then raised his hand, signaling the reporters who couldn't wait to ask questions to calm down.

It's not yet time to speak, so I'm holding back if I have any questions.

"At two o'clock in the morning yesterday evening, the Seagull transport ship carrying 500 migrants arrived on the moon, and the population of Guanghan City exceeded 1,000 people. Considering that the living and production equipment has been fully developed, from tomorrow, Transwarp City will open flights to Guanghan City, which are open to all citizens of Singapore and foreign tourists with passports!"

The venue was quite quiet, and the reporters who had been anxious to ask questions before also looked in the opposite direction of the podium. It took a full ten seconds to digest this exciting news, and I don't know who started it, and the applause sounded sparsely, and soon it turned into a thunderous resounding throughout the venue.

And those netizens who sat in front of the computer and watched the live broadcast of the press conference on Transwarp's official website had already cheered, tapping on the keyboard quickly, and venting their excitement through the barrage.

[Hold the grass, the bunker has wood,]

[It's embarrassing, our manned moon landing is still in the research stage, and everyone else has already built a building on the moon. Maybe when we go up ourselves, other people's playgrounds will even build playgrounds and movie theaters. 】

[Stupid, it's a fart to study, one ticket and one ticket to go up and use research, I can do it? If you want me to say, those who are engaged in aerospace should all be laid off. The funds saved are not as good as building more schools to support the poor mountainous areas. 】

[The innocent person engaged in aerospace was shot...... It's not that we don't give it well, it's that others are too awesome, what can you do about this? But then again, it's all a family anyway, even the name of the city is Guanghan City, maybe the next city will be called Wanhu, and it can be regarded as the dream of the ancestors. 】

[I don't care about anything else, does this mean that you can travel to the moon......?

The buzz on the internet is heating up, and the press conference continues.

After a brief overview of the contents, it was followed by questions from reporters. The reporters sitting in the audience couldn't wait to raise their hands, and at this moment, they finally arrived at their home stadium, and immediately showed their housekeeping skills, and asked questions as tricky as they could.

"You said at the press conference just now that the new country will have the sovereignty of Guanghan City. I would like to ask if you have heard of the United Nations Outer Space Treaty, signed in 1967, which clearly stipulates in Article 2 that 'outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, may not be claimed as a sovereign State, or possessed for use or other purposes'. As soon as the Columbia TV reporter handed out the microphone, he threw out a sharp question.

Jiang Chen saw an inquiring look similar to the reporter's eyes from the front row of the conference hall from the eyes of the reporter. Obviously, almost all of the reporters present were skeptical about the legitimacy of Transwarp's previous statement, which was similar to a statement of sovereignty.

Smiling slightly, Jiang Chen straightened the microphone and answered the question of the Columbia TV reporter.

"The Outer Space Treaty was signed half a century ago. Until a year and a half ago, in the last half-century, a total of only twelve people were successfully sent to the moon...... Yes, until a year and a half ago. Obviously, the United Nations Outer Space Treaty, signed in 1967, is no longer applicable to the modern and rapidly developing space industry. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen paused, and his voice gradually became higher.

"We have the technology to send more people to the moon and even other celestial bodies to open up the territory of human civilization, so why do we still use ancient treaties to imprison our footprints? Do you think we are swearing sovereignty over things that do not belong to us? Wrong! Completely wrong! We are just guaranteeing our legitimate rights and interests and proving that the wealth we have created belongs to us. I remember you were an American, and you didn't claim sovereignty over the American continent? At least we claim sovereignty over a terra nullius, and you claim sovereignty over Indian land. ”

Jiang Chen spoke in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and the Columbia TV reporter was speechless.

To be precise, the reporter actually had a lot to say, such as "these are completely different things," "Indians are also an integral part of American society, please do not make statements that are harmful to the unity of American society," and so on. However, according to the rules of the press conference, a journalist can only speak once unless there are special circumstances. Jiang Chen had already raised his hand to signal that he could sit down, and he could only hold back the rebuttal back into his stomach.

The second reporter who stood up was a reporter from a domestic television station in New Zealand, and he naturally could not question the sovereignty of his country, and his focus was more inclined to the economic aspect.

"In my remarks, I noticed that you mentioned that Transwarp Trade will be open to the public. Does this mean that ordinary investors can also participate in the development of the moon's resources, and if so, in which areas is Transwarp Trade more likely to cooperate with other companies? ”

After listening to the reporter's question, Jiang Chen smiled and replied with a pleasant face.

"Since as a city, Guanghan City naturally has no reason to isolate itself from the world, and we have never intended to monopolize the resources of the entire moon. As with Penglai City's positioning, we welcome every tourist, immigrant, and investor. ”

"There are so many specific areas of cooperation. Rare earth resources, tourism, entertainment, metallurgical industry, and power exports, these five industries will serve as the economic pillars of Guanghan City. With the exception of the last one, which involves sensitive technologies that are inconvenient for other companies to participate in, investors can choose their preferred industries and join our cities. ”

"The premise is to recognize our declaration of sovereignty over Guanghan City. (To be continued.) )
