This council is just the beginning, and then the members of the International Space Agency (ISA) members will start to compete for this big cake. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the website of the International Space Agency announced the "Sky City" plan, and at the same time released a simulation video, the main content of the video is the space city and the space elevator: at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers above the ground, a huge space city is suspended, and dozens of cables are connected to the earth below the city, and there are 8 strange elevators running on the cables.

In just three days, the video reached 500 million views and 120 million retweets, making it one of the most clicked and retweeted videos of all time.

The world's major media outlets immediately launched a frenzied report on it.

"The International Space Agency's big plan, an unprecedented investment of 1.2 trillion!" China Global Times

"The 'Castle in the Sky' project has been revealed, and in five years, mankind is expected to enter space life!" The Times

"Space Elevator: From Fantasy to Reality!" Russian Pravda

"A big step for mankind to enter space is far more significant than the moon landing project of the United States!" German Bild

"The arrival of the space age for all, the space city is about to appear, are you ready?" France "Times of Figaro"

After seeing the space city and space elevator in the video released by the International Space Agency, countless people said that Hollywood movies are simply weak in comparison. The attraction of Space City to human beings is so great that the number of applicants for Penglai Aerospace University in the second half of the year has increased by 3 times compared to last year.

On the Internet, netizens from all over the world have launched heated discussions, in China, Russia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Thailand, Pakistan and ...... The hottest topic on the Internet in all countries is the "Castle in the Sky" project.

Huaxia netizens:

"Penglai Island's technology is getting better and better, and it's not enough to build an island in the Pacific Ocean, but also to build a city in space!"

"Luyang is the pride of Huaxia! I really want to thank him, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to travel to space in my lifetime! ”

"Space tourism is very simple now, as long as you have money, the space city is not for space tourism, this is to settle in space!"

"I don't know if the tickets for the space elevator are expensive...... I hope that Lu Yang can be closer to the people, so that ordinary people can also hope to go to space! ”

The networks of other ISA member states are almost all about this content, and it can be said that 99% of netizens have expressed great expectations for the space city and the space elevator.

"Today, while it's not uncommon for humans to go into space, in fact, it only takes £120,000 for the average person to go into space. However, compared to the 7.5 billion people on Earth, less than 300,000 people have actually been to space. And once the 'Castle in the Sky' project is realized, in the future, humanity will be able to take an elevator directly into space and live on an unprecedented space city, this epoch-making progress cannot be overstated! Luckily, we are all witnesses to history and participants at the same time! The front page headline of the British Daily Mail commented.

Some people are excited, others are lost and angry. The lost countries are mainly observer states of the International Space Agency, including the stick country, the maple leaf country and the kangaroo country, and after learning of this plan, the observer countries all approached Li Yilong, hoping to officially join the ISA and participate in this project.

On the network of the Stick Country, more than 5 million netizens petitioned the government, urging the government to join the International Space Agency as soon as possible, because the human initiative is inseparable from the Stick Country. This kind of petition in the style of the stick country was regarded as a joke by Chinese netizens, enough for them to laugh at it for a long time.

The reaction of the stick country is quite mild, and the most fierce reaction is still the rice country. The people of the United States call themselves the "country of God", and they have a sense of mission to lead the development of mankind, and in the eyes of the people of the United States, they are the saviors of mankind, whether it is the two world wars or the Cold War with the former Soviet Union, and now the confrontation with China. This kind of consciousness of the people of the United States is embodied in Hollywood movies, and it is no stranger to the world.

What makes the people of the United States uncomfortable, in the past 10 years, among the scientific achievements that have affected human development, China has accounted for an increasing proportion, and has caught up with and surpassed the United States in many fields, and the aerospace industry is an example. China has aerospace planes, but the United States does not, which is already very exciting to the United States, and now the Chinese people are taking other countries to build a space city, but the United States people cannot participate, which makes the United States unbearable!

"The International Space Agency should be an organization for the development of space industry in all countries around the world, not a tool for China to control the world!" The Los Angeles Times commented.

The San Francisco Times commented similarly, "The United States is the most powerful country in the world, and any activity related to the future of mankind should have its participation!" ”

"Without the United States, the International Space Agency is not worthy of its name!" The Washington Post was equally unceremonious.

There are also more radical media, such as the Christian Monitor, which has argued that the United States should take control of the International Space Agency from China and regain its leadership role in the space industry. In this regard, the Chinese media mercilessly criticized the United States for not being able to do anything.

Calls for the United States to join the ISA are not only in the media, but also within the civil society and government. When the International Space Agency was established two years ago, the people of the United States disdained it and thought that it was a joke at all, but with the growth of the International Space Agency, the people of the United States also had to admit that in the aerospace industry, its role was far greater than that of any other country and international organization in the past.

It's not just the "Castle in the Sky" program that excludes them.

When there were already 12 human bases on the moon, even countries like Shat raised their flags on the moon, and it was difficult for the people of the United States to land on the moon again. After the completion of the "Transparent Earth" program, most countries in the world abandoned GPS in favor of the Sky Eye satellite system, and the international navigation market was on the verge of being dominated by the International Space Agency.

"Maybe we should negotiate with the Chinese people, and the benefits of joining the International Space Agency will outweigh the disadvantages for the United States!" I don't know when, such a voice appeared in the United States, and more and more people are recognized.

"In the aerospace industry, the United States is willing to join hands with other countries to make progress together, and is also willing to join the International Space Agency to make greater contributions to mankind!" Two days later, Secretary of State Kleber said at a press conference that the outside world commented that this was a friendly signal to China.

"Boss, how do we deal with the application of the Mi people?" Li Yilong then asked Lu Yang for instructions.

"Have you officially submitted your application?" Lu Yang asked.

"Actually, the people of the United States submitted their application a year ago, but we returned it." Li Yilong said with a smile.

Lu Yang really didn't know this, so he asked again: "What reason was used last time?" ”

Li Yilong said: "The demilitarization of space, boss, the reason you said before." And the International Space Agency has a lot of regulations, some of which the people of the United States will not agree to. ”

"Then this time it's the same as last time, no matter what other people say, it's impossible for the people of the United States to want to join the International Space Agency without a little blood!" Lu Yang Road.

Li Yilong asked: "Boss, are you saying that there is a possibility for the people of the United States to join the International Space Agency?" ”

"It is not ruled out, depending on their sincerity."

"What exactly?"

"The first is to recognize the regulations of the International Space Agency, the dismantling of space weapons ......"

"Forget it, the people of the United States will not agree to this alone." Li Yilong couldn't help but shake his head.

"They don't agree that it's better." Lu Yang snorted coldly, in the aerospace industry, he really didn't use the place of the United States, on the contrary, the United States had many places to beg him.

Li Yilong, in accordance with Lu Yang's instructions, explained the situation to the representatives of the United States and rejected their applications, which caused a monstrous wave in the United States. As the strongest country in the world, when have the people of the United States been treated with such a cold shoulder!

"The United States will never compromise with the Chinese, and it will never recognize the International Space Agency!" Hillani then angrily announced at a White House press conference that it was a response to Li Yilong's refusal.

Another big disappointment for the setback of the United States application is Elon Musk.

Elon Musk is more eager for the "City in the Sky" program than ordinary people, and he knows that this is an opportunity for SpaceX's development. Participating in the "Sky City" program is an opportunity for all aerospace companies, and to be able to cooperate with Penglai Aerospace Company, other aerospace companies will inevitably be able to get technical support, not to mention the huge investment in this program.

Elon Musk has a deep grudge against the International Space Agency, SpaceX has tried to win orders from the organization several times, but in the end they were all rejected, and Li Yilong said that the International Space Agency is willing to cooperate with all countries and companies around the world.

"Bill, just now the White House replied to me, the application of the United States was rejected by the Chinese, this time the 'Sky City' plan, spaceX wants to participate in the no longer possible." Elon Musk called Bill Gates, the majority shareholder of SpaceX.

Bill Gates obviously knew the news, and of course he didn't feel comfortable in his heart, after all, he invested $30 billion in SpaceX, but what could he do about it? The International Space Agency's targeting of the United States is already a well-known thing, and it is also a direct manifestation of the confrontation between the two superpowers, Huaxia and the United States, even if he has money, it is impossible to change the relationship between the two powers.

"Bill, I think it's necessary for us to discuss it with Lu Yang, everyone knows that the International Space Agency is in charge of him. If he can relax the conditions, we still have the possibility to participate! (To be continued.) )
