Chapter 452: Interstellar Sovereignty
Space-1 uses neutrino communication technology, and there is a small quantum computer on it, which contains a subroutine of Pangu, even if Space-1 is far away from the Earth, Lu Yang can still effectively control it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, it is Pangu who controls Space One, and as a real artificial intelligence, Pangu can definitely reassure Lu Yang. During the flight, unless something went wrong, Pangu would report to Lu Yang.
Wang Cheng and the others began their journey to the moon, and Lu Yang was not idle, and after deep talks with the president and the prime minister, he began to deal with the representatives of other countries. The Ptsar expressed his willingness to cooperate with Penglai Island several times, Salman of Shat expressed his willingness to invest huge sums of money in Penglai Island's space program, and Hussein of Pakistan Railway looked like a hardcore friend, waiting for Lu Yang's assistance.
The heads of state of these three countries were present, and Lu Yang had to give some face no matter what he said, and after talking with the president and prime minister, Lu Yang met with them in turn and had a long talk with them. Of course, Lu Yang is not a fool, and he will not promise anything for no reason, but just make intentions and considerations first.
Regarding space cooperation, Lu Yang has his own plans. Space exploration is a business that requires huge investment, and it is very risky, just like Space One, in order to build this space plane, Lu Yang invested hundreds of billions, not counting the consumption of manpower. The most important thing is that even with Pangu's control, Lu Yang can't guarantee that Space One will not have an accident.
Large investment and high risk are the characteristics of the aerospace industry, so in order to reduce risk and investment, Lu Yang must choose cooperation.
Lu Yang has a complete set of plans in his heart, in the short term, Lu Yang hopes to develop the moon and use the lunar resources, and in the medium term, he wants to establish a base on the moon, the scale is not too large, which is conducive to his in-depth understanding of the moon. At the same time, Lu Yang's goals are also set on Venus and Mars, the two closest planets to the Earth, which must be much more valuable than the Moon.
Lu Yang's long-term plan is to fully exploit the lunar resources and establish bases on Venus and Mars, and then explore the asteroid belt, looking for elements in the solar system that he needs and are not found on Earth, such as the Tai element.
Lu Yang's thinking is very clear, technically speaking, it is not too difficult to realize this plan, Lu Yang can now buy the technology of any third-level civilization, it just takes some time, and the third-level civilization has already controlled the star system, and when the time is ripe, Lu Yang can completely build a spaceship, which is a larger and more advanced space vehicle than an aerospace aircraft.
However, it is impossible to do this on the island of Penglai Island alone, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed, even if the whole of China does this, I am afraid it will not be enough, and in the end it can only be a gathering of global forces.
Establishing such an organization is Lu Yang's next work.
After Hussein, Britain's Prince William asked to meet Lu Yang and discussed the same issue of space cooperation. Since Space 1 soared into the sky, the whole world knows that Penglai Island has become a leader in human spaceflight, and countries have rushed to send invitations to cooperate with Lu Yang, even the United States is no exception.
However, this time, William is not representing the United Kingdom, but the European Space Agency, which makes Lu Yang a little strange. Britain left the European Union last year, but they still stayed in the European Space Agency, and Lu Yang thought that this time the European Space Agency had William as a representative, probably to use his friendship with him.
"William, I'd love to work with the European Space Agency." Lu Yang said after deliberation, he had learned about the European Space Agency and was not optimistic about the cooperation with them, "But with all due respect, the European Space Agency is originally the result of cooperation among countries within the European Union, and it is full of compromises and struggles, and it is not as good as Huaxia and Mi in terms of strength and execution." ”
William said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the European Space Agency is not as bad as the outside world thinks. ”
Lu Yang shook his head, he didn't want to get caught up in the European Space Agency's tussle.
"William, I would prefer to work with the UK alone than an agency like the European Space Agency, of course, the mode and content of our cooperation is different from that of the European Space Agency, but I can promise that everyone will be rewarded accordingly." Lu Yang said.
Lu Yang plans to establish a space organization, which is of course led by him, because he has mastered the top aerospace technology. Other countries can get involved, take on certain tasks, and reap the corresponding benefits. However, the countries involved must be agreed by him, and it will be a unit, not a consortium like the European Space Agency, because that would inevitably weaken Lu Yang's control over the space organization.
Although Prince William is not a mature politician, he is still keenly aware of Lu Yang's intentions. He couldn't help but frown, obviously not happy to do so. At present, the world situation is gradually becoming clearer, and the pattern of the two superpowers of the United States and China is taking shape, and no country in Europe has the strength to compete with them alone. For this reason, only by uniting European countries can it be possible to balance China and Malaysia.
In the same way, if European countries cooperate with Penglai Island in the name of the European Space Agency, their voice will increase a lot, and a single country cooperating with Lu Yang will inevitably lose the initiative, this reason, Prince William is still very clear.
"Lu Yang, what kind of space organization do you plan to establish?" William asked.
Lu Yang leaned on the sofa and supported his chin with his right hand: "First of all, this organization is international, not only Huaxia can participate, but other countries can also participate, whether it is a developed country or a developing country, because space is the ...... of all mankind."
"Is it okay for rice country and Fuso?" William asked abruptly.
"Of course, I don't make threshold restrictions, but there are still conditions internally, as long as they can accept it, they can participate." Lu Yang replied without hesitation, but in fact, in his heart, he had already excluded these two countries, and he said this just for the sake of decency.
"Secondly, the goal of this organization is very clear, that is, to establish a lunar survival base within 10 to 20 years and fully exploit the resources of the moon. There is a problem involved in this, which is the distribution of the territory of the moon, which is also one of the problems that we need to solve. ”
For human beings, other planets can be said to be ownerless, and according to common sense, whoever arrives first has sovereignty. However, this is only common knowledge of mankind on Earth, which originated from the Age of Discovery, where colonialism prevailed. In space, this set of rules may be difficult for others to accept, because only a few countries have the strength to carry out space exploration, and the vast majority of countries are only bystanders.
"The Moon is the common property of all mankind!" William couldn't help but say.
"That's what humans say when they don't have the capacity to do it." Lu Yang refuted mercilessly, "When human beings have the ability to carry out interstellar expansion, that set will not work." As long as the planet is not united, we will have to face this problem. This applies not only to the Moon, but also to other planets such as Venus and Mars in the future! (To be continued.) )
