This is Jiang Chen's only impression when he attended this UN summit.

Canberra, the capital of Australia, is located in the open valley of Australia's mountain region, which is not very populous and has quite beautiful scenery, and was chosen as the host of the United Nations Outer Space Summit. The Australian Government attaches great importance to the convening of this summit, because it will be attended by many heads of state and high-level representatives of the P5.

As early as three days before the start of the meeting, the area near the summit venue in Canberra City was under martial law, shops were closed, factories were closed, and the entire street in Canberra's west was empty and there was not a single figure in sight.

The meeting was held smoothly without a trace of twists and turns.

Usually, at such summits attended by multiple heads of state, there is often more than one topic to be discussed, even not limited to the topic of outer space development, and the highlight of the summit is often not at the beginning.

The first topic to be discussed was not the space elevator, but the North Korea nuclear issue. Just two months ago, North Korea launched a rocket with what appears to be a ballistic missile, supposedly capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. If you want to ask if this has anything to do with the outer space summit? Of course, there is still a little bit of this relationship. The use of outer space for peaceful purposes has always been the consensus of the international community.

Although the lean-looking representative was impassioned enough when he spoke, Jiang Chen, who was still sitting next to Zhang Yaping, yawned.

Problems like this that simply cannot be solved are just a waste of time, no matter how long they are discussed.

To sum up, the protagonists of the speeches were basically the representative of North Korea and US Secretary of State John Kerry, and the content of the speeches of both sides can be summarized in four sentences.

"You're not allowed to launch rockets!"

"It's my right to launch rockets!"

"You fire a shot?"

"Hey, I. ”

Beat?

If you can fight, you can fight a long time ago.

However, war has never been a matter that can be decided by one or two missiles and a pat on the head, and international issues absolutely do not apply to the player's thinking of clicking the mouse and hitting whichever -- "A explodes on the opposite base even if it wins."

People will find enough reasons for what has already happened, or use their own logic combined with limited information to deduce the so-called necessity, and the only thing that all reasoning leads to is nothing more than one conclusion, that is, it has never been really correct.

People will always repeat the same tragedies, and humanity will always make the same mistakes.

It was precisely because of this belief that Jiang Chen sat there without fear, yawned at NASA Administrator Bolden, who was looking at him, and then glanced at the nearest camera, estimating that it probably couldn't shoot the part below his desk, and then took out the future mobile phone from his pocket with peace of mind, and started the mobile game produced by Future Technology.

Even if the space elevator is placed here, even if they know the value of this thing, they can only watch themselves walk in front of them in the face of the unbearable price.

Zhang Yaping glanced at Jiang Chen, who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"You're in a good state of mind. ”

"It's okay. After three topics is our space elevator, you don't have to be so nervous right now. Jiang Chen didn't look up, his eyes were still staring at the picture on the mobile phone screen.

Zhang Yaping was stunned for a moment, and touched his face with a strange expression.

"I'm nervous right now?"

"Maybe it's my delusion. ”

As Jiang Chen expected, the nuclear issue of North Korea did not come to any conclusion. However, looking at Kerry's indifferent expression, I don't think he himself can discuss anything at such a meeting.

After the end of the question of whether North Korea fired missiles or rockets, the Turkish civil war, which has lasted since the second half of last year, and then the Ukrainian civil war. If the previous issues can still have something to do with outer space, then these two issues have nothing to do with each other at all. Purely because there were not many opportunities for such high-level representatives to get together, a wave of forced discussion was forced.

These two topics did not last long, and soon the highlight of the summit - the use of space elevators for safety issues.

Jiang Chen put away the mobile phone under the table and glanced at the venue at the same time.

With his eyesight, he could clearly observe that the originally sleepy Italian president lifted his spirits, and the director of ESA, who had been turning the pen again, stopped turning the pen, and the director of NASA, who had been staring at his side, finally withdrew his gaze and looked at the memo on his desk.

"The next topic is the discussion on the use of space elevators for safety......"

Before the voice of Ms. Mazlan Osman, Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, was heard in the room, Pana, a Central American President Ma country, stood up and asked the new country questions with the help of the microphone.

"I have one thing I want to ask the president of the new country about the space elevator. When you submit your application for space activities to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, the record should include scientific research purposes and geostationary orbit space stations. ”

When he said this, the President Ma of Panama spoke poorly. Central American countries are basically the younger brothers of the United States, and looking at NASA Director Bolden's appearance, Jiang Chen knew that the Panamanian representative's speech was eighty percent of what the United States meant.

When Transwarp Trade built the space station bigger and bigger, it had already aroused the vigilance of the United States and other countries. By the time Warring Trade finally started throwing ropes down from the space station, they were completely dumbfounded.

When NASA analysis learned that it could be a space elevator, it was already late last year. By the time Transwarp announced the news in mid-January, they couldn't fully accept this reality.

God, that's science fiction!

Zhang Yaping stood up, helped down the microphone on the table, and spoke unhurriedly.

"This is a reasonable and lawful project carried out in the inherent territory of the new country in accordance with the constitution of the new country, and there is no need to explain it to the countries on the other side of the Pacific. ”

In the circular conference room, delegates from the United States looked at each other. Although such an answer had been expected for a long time, hearing it with their own ears still made them feel sad. Bolden looked very calm, whispering something to the person sitting next to him.

The representative from Panama sat back.

Soon, it was the turn of the South American country of Ecuador to speak, and I saw the dark-skinned president stand up and speak in a solemn tone.

"Ecuador crosses the equator line, can the new country assist our South American countries in building our own space elevator? Of course, the Union of South American Nations will bear all the costs of the construction of the Star Ring Trade. Here I can make a promise that it will be an investment of more than $50 billion. ”

As soon as these words came out, the representatives of the Chinese and Russian sides immediately became nervous.

Where do South American countries have so much money to build this space elevator? Ecuador's GDP is only $100 billion a year. With tight finances, it is difficult for them to squeeze out one percent of the 100 billion yuan, let alone a 50 billion project.

Think about it with your feet, who is really paying.

Huaguo and Russia are both countries far from the equator line, and their overseas influence is also a little unsatisfactory, it is almost impossible to have a space elevator by themselves, otherwise Ye Laolai will not say anything about leasing orbits when he negotiates with Jiang Chen, wouldn't it be better for me to pay for you to help me build one?

Which country in this room, including the oil bosses of the Middle East, could be richer than a rabbit?

It is precisely for this reason that China and Russia have been sparing no effort to win over the new country.

"Questions about the space elevator...... I think Jiang Chen, the chief designer of the space elevator, can answer this question. As agreed, Zhang Yaping threw this question that he was inconvenient to answer to Jiang Chen.

When all the cameras focused on him, Jiang Chen stood up and nodded slightly to the representatives of various countries.

"It's an honor to stand here and answer the international community's questions about the space elevator. I understand that you are very interested in this 36,000 km elevator, because it is definitely the longest elevator in the world and definitely the most profitable elevator. In addition to the fact that there is no comment on corporate secrets, as the chief designer and chairman of Transwarp Trading, I must know everything. ”

After speaking, Jiang Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over the position of NASA, swept over the black face of Director Bolden, and finally fell on the President of Ecuador.

"With regard to the request from the Ecuadorian side, we regret that although we are very interested in this $50 billion project, our factory does not have the spare capacity to complete this order for the time being. Perhaps, you can choose other engineering units. (To be continued.) )
