Chapter 480: Contempt from the outside world
"But for Huaxia, the right to vote is more important than the right to earn...... the president shook his head, "Lu Yang, we should still grasp the right to vote, and we can make greater concessions on the right to earnings." From a realistic point of view www.biquge.info it is not certain when there will be benefits from space exploration, and there is little point in competing for the right to earn. I think we can reduce the right to 20% of the proceeds, but the voting rights must be maintained above 40%! ”
The president's concerns are not unreasonable; judging from the current experience, the aerospace industry is a money-burning industry, and if it wants to obtain economic benefits, it can only start from the periphery, and its own input is far greater than its output. Even with the availability of space planes, the outside world is still not optimistic about the direct economic benefits.
"President, I'm sure I'll be able to achieve economic benefits within three years!" Lu Yang said, "In the next ten years, the benefits of human beings from space will be far beyond imagination, and the competition for space resources will be the focus in the future." And if we can gain an advantage in the distribution of benefits, we can maintain an advantage in the future competition. With the support of space resources, it doesn't matter if China adds another 500 million people! ”
The president was a little unconvinced: "With such a long cycle of space development, can what you say really be achieved in a short period of time?" ”
"I'm confident!" Lu Yang was very sure.
Seeing that the president was still hesitating, Lu Yang said again: "President, don't forget, the technology of the aerospace aircraft is in my hands. I know how important it is, as long as the technology of the aerospace aircraft is unique to us, it doesn't matter if we lose some voting rights. ”
The president's eyes lit up, and he immediately remembered that Lu Yang still had a hand.
"Yes, as long as we master the core technology, even if we only have 30% of the voting rights, we can still control the International Space Agency." The president reacted and finally agreed with Lu Yang's opinion.
……
"Kleber, how's it going to join the International Space Agency?" Every day, Hirani asks Kleber about the progress of the matter, and is clearly very concerned about it.
"President, the Chinese side only promised us to become an observer state, and if we want to become a full member, they will conduct an inspection ......"
Hillani was dissatisfied: "When is Huaxia qualified to come to inspect our country?" I asked you to communicate with European countries, what is their attitude? ”
"Before the start of the meeting, Britain, France and Germany promised to support us, but after yesterday's meeting, the attitude of European countries has changed......"
"Yesterday's meeting? What did Huaxia do? ”
Klerber said embarrassedly: "President, the Chinese side of yesterday's meeting banned observer states from participating, so we don't know. However, I suspect that Huaxia should have conceded in the distribution of power within the ISA, and it is not small. ”
Hirani was silent for a moment: "I don't care what method you use, you must join the International Space Agency as soon as possible." In addition, we also need to create international public opinion and put pressure on China to hand over the technology of the aerospace aircraft. Huaxia has always paid attention to its international image, and as long as there are enough countries that put pressure on them, they will definitely compromise! ”
"I see, President!"
……
"Boss, the basic charter of the International Space Agency has been decided, according to your meaning, we and Huaxia have a total of 30% of the voting rights, but in terms of income distribution, we account for 55%." Li Yilong reported to Lu Yang.
After three days of consultations, the meeting finally came to fruition, and the International Space Agency was officially established. Thirty-seven other member countries, including Penglai Island and Huaxia, share the management of the ISA as founding countries. The International Space Agency (ISA) has set up a director, and the first director is Li Yilong, who was proposed by Lu Yang. The term of office of the Director is five years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms, and then the position is rotated by representatives of various countries.
The International Space Agency adopts a majority voting system, and on major issues, each member state votes according to its own voting rights, and in the end, Penglai Island has 15% of the voting rights, China 15%, the United Kingdom 5%, France 5%, Germany 5%, Russia 5%...... With the exception of Penglai Island and Huaxia, other countries hold up to 5% of the voting power, while several African countries and small Southeast Asian countries have less than 1% of the voting power.
The expenses of the International Space Agency are shared by the member states, and they are distributed according to the right to proceed, so Huaxia and Penglai Island bear most of the expenses. According to the preliminary plan, the budget of the International Space Agency this year is about 200 billion yuan, but in fact, this is only half a year's budget.
The affairs of the International Space Agency are handled by the Standing Council, which is represented by countries with more than 1% of the voting rights and income rights, and Huaxia and Penglai Island are the two parties by default, and the Standing Council currently has 19 members.
The International Space Agency (ISA) is mandatory both internally and externally, and it has been stated in its charter that it has the right to monitor the space technology of various countries so that it can be used in the field of peace; Formulate international space laws and exercise law enforcement powers, whether it is a country within or outside the organization, if someone violates it, the space agency has the power to take coercive measures; Establish the first space force of mankind to safeguard the common interests of all mankind......
In short, judging by these provisions, the International Space Agency is an out-and-out powerful international organization, and its power is greater than that of the United Nations!
This kind of space organization is not what the United States wants to see, and it is not even what European countries want, but Lu Yang adheres to such a principle, because only a strong organization can help him quickly realize his space program, if it is just a loose alliance, it will not help Lu Yang at all, so why should Lu Yang bother with this?
It is worth mentioning that because of technology, Penglai Aerospace Company has become the only cooperative unit of the International Space Agency, and Penglai Aerospace University has become an institution of higher learning for the International Space Agency to train talents. In these two aspects, Lu Yangzhi has no intention of monopoly, in fact, space agencies and private space companies in other countries can apply to cooperate with the International Space Agency, but with the rival of Penglai Aerospace Company, others do not seem to have any hope of success.
The establishment of such an international organization has shocked the world, and no international organization has ever dared to claim the power to govern the whole world, and the International Space Agency has done it, and it has done it above board, and it has been written clearly in its charter. On the same day, more than 50 countries issued statements one after another, saying that they would not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Space Agency, among which countries that have the ability to carry out space activities on their own, such as the United States, Fuso, Argentina, Brazil, etc., even called the International Space Agency an illegal organization!
In response, the International Space Agency (ISA) reacted in a low-key manner and did not respond positively, which disappointed many people, believing that the ISA was just an empty shelf, which attracted a lot of cynicism from the media.
"Boss, shall we respond?" Li Yilong is very bad, he has just taken office and has been made difficult in various ways, and every press conference will be asked by reporters about the response of the International Space Agency on this matter, and Li Yilong can say very little about this.
"How do you want to respond?" Lu Yang was not in a hurry at all, and didn't seem to know about those things.
Li Yilong was dumbfounded.
"Now that we've decided to do this, it's inevitable that there will be ridicule from the outside world, so don't worry. When the International Space Agency has the corresponding strength, it will be our turn to dominate the world, so don't rush now, and the focus is to make this year's space plan as soon as possible. Lu Yang reminded him.
Li Yilong smiled bitterly, it wasn't that he didn't understand what Lu Yang said, but he had too high expectations for this position before, and now he was a little behind.
"According to the previous plan, we should first complete the lunar base program and develop lunar resources." Li Yilong adjusted his mentality and said, "Now that the first phase of the lunar base project has been completed, and Space-1 can carry out regular take-off and landing on the moon, and the next Earth-Moon flight, are we considering landing on the moon?" ”
"Yes." Lu Yang said, "The International Space Agency has just been established, and it is the time when it needs to stabilize people's minds. If a moon landing is organized, it will be beneficial for governments to adopt an agreement to join the International Space Agency. ”
Only 12 of the 37 countries are now fully confirmed to join the ISA, and the parliaments of the remaining 25 countries are still reviewing the relevant agreements and have not yet adopted them.
The moon landing plan is thus determined, and Lu Yang intends to control the number of people who will land on the moon in the first batch to be less than 200, and all 37 member countries can send people to participate, of course, the funds will be borne by the International Space Agency. In addition, the International Space Agency also has to bear the flight cost of Space One, because Space One belongs to Penglai Space Company, and the International Space Agency is only leased for use.
Li Yilong handled the affairs of the International Space Agency, and Lu Yang went to Penglai Intelligent Electronics Company the next day to inquire about the progress of Lei Jun's new spacesuit.
Lei Jun only received the mission of the spacesuit from Lu Yang in May, and he quickly organized a technical team, but the time was too short, and they had no results yet.
"Boss, the biggest problem now is the material, and our research has found that the existing material simply can't achieve the effect you want." Lei Jun reflected to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said: "In terms of materials, I will solve it as soon as possible, how is the design work completed?" ”
"We haven't designed it because we didn't have the right materials...... However, we have integrated the current spacesuit technology and have already had a direction for improvement. Lei Jun said.
"That's good, give you three months, you must come up with a mature plan, and by the end of this year, I must see qualified products." Lu Yang said in his usual style.
Although the matter of the new spacesuit is small, it reflects a problem, that is, there is not enough coordination within Penglai Island. Affected by the previous decentralized management, the work efficiency within Penglai Group could not satisfy Lu Yang.
Coming out of Penglai Intelligent Electronics Company, Lu Yang decided to start a plan, that is, to establish the Penglai Academy of Sciences. (To be continued.) )
