Merrican, Press Center.

It's time to understand Wang's favorite time again, and hold a press conference.

At every press conference, he will become the brightest boy in the world, because the whole world is watching him.

He likes it.

But since the pandemic, he has been plagued by fake news and fake journalists, which has made him less fond of press conferences, and his liking level has dropped below the level of heap.

Of course, today is different, the theme of today's conference is technology and the future, and he needs to announce great plans.

That's what he's supposed to do as a commander.

The commander was dressed in a well-fitting suit, wearing a dazzling red tie, with his hands outstretched, his chin lifted slightly, and loudly announced to the world: "I announce the resumption of the 'Moon Grand Prix', but this time is different from the last time, this time it is new, and I asked people to restart and update." ”

"If a team can send a lunar probe to the moon within two years, land safely, and then collect some lunar rock samples and return to Earth, then the team will win the Moon Award."

"This time the prize money is very large, a full 50 million US dollars, which is much more than the last prize money, which I specially instructed the space agency to allocate for this competition."

"Mind you, this isn't the final prize, and the winner can compete for our return to the moon contract, which is a multi-billion dollar deal."

"At first they didn't agree, and then I said, 'Hey, guys, this is a big thing in the world, it's about the future of the world, we can't be so stingy, we have to trust the private companies, they always create surprises,' and in the end, I convinced them......"

The king talks endlessly, but it can be summed up in two things, that is, announcing the resumption of the Moon Grand Prix and boasting about himself.

In the end, it took about ten minutes to finish.

After that, it was a question session from reporters, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the first reporter began to question him, and it had nothing to do with today's topic.

"May I ask you, Mr. President, it's June, and more than 100,000 people have died in Merrican because of the pandemic, will you regret the order?"

The king was very quick and said directly: "What I did was right, so I have no regrets, next!" ”

I was expecting the second reporter to ask a good question, but the other party asked him a similar question, and then he didn't even answer, and went straight to "fake news, next".

After that, it was okay, and a few reporters from their own side asked a few suitable questions and praised themselves.

But before he could be happy, another reporter asked an inappropriate question, and he turned around and walked away.

This broken press conference, sure enough, it was not as fun as the pile.

The commander is gone, and the press conference has to be held as usual, although the time has been messed up, but the director of the space agency who was arranged behind him is still on it.

"Ahem," said the director of NASA, standing in front of the microphone with a stack of papers, putting them on the podium, "thanks to our Commander, who played a very important role in convincing many people to agree to this competition." ”

"He's been very busy during this time, and he shouldn't have been very comfortable just now, so I'll tell you about the specific rules of the Grand Prix."

As he spoke, he flipped through the documents on the podium, "In this competition, the teams participating in the competition must ensure that they have a launch vehicle to launch the probe, either build it themselves, or cooperate with existing private rocket launch companies, anyway, they can only use the equipment of private companies, and cannot apply for help from state agencies." ”

"However, there is one thing to note here, only the probe is built, and the team that uses the rockets of other companies to complete the competition can only get a maximum of 10 million in prize money, while the team that uses the rockets and probes built by itself can get up to 40 million ......."

After watching this news, Tang Chao's teeth itched.

I don't know if my company is too good at picking time, or the other side is too good at picking time.

It feels like it's coming for me.

Originally, the Star Navigator company had become popular in China because of the amateur rocket competition, and the information began to land abroad.

If there is two days of information dissemination, Star Navigator will definitely be able to make a fire in the world's space and technology circles.

But it was a little unlucky to have this kind of thing.

20 million yuan to 50 million US dollars, a complete defeat.

The amateur rocket returned to sample lunar exploration and failed.

The nameless small company was completely defeated by Merriken + NASA + private space company.

It's just impossible to play!

Moreover, compared with the introverted Tianxia, Merrican is already flamboyant and has the absolute initiative in international public opinion.

In addition to Tianxia, 99% of the world's largest social networking sites, the largest video sharing sites, and the largest Weifu community are Merrican's.

This is all a public opinion position, and this can't be played.

Although he was completely suppressed, Tang Chao didn't intend to admit defeat like this, and he had already decided that the other party was here to smash the field, and he had to take it.

In fact, I don't know if I will smash the field or not, but the reason why Merrican did this is indeed related to him.

To be precise, it was because of the technology he sold to Tianxia Long March 9.

Since Tianxia announced the Long March 9 and the plan to land people on the moon within two years, Wang has felt very uncomfortable.

The international information heat began to shift to Tianxia, who could achieve a manned landing on the moon before Merriken returned to the moon, which neither he nor Congress tolerated.

So after a few meetings with his think tank, he successfully aligned with Congress and got a large amount of financial allocation.

He first invested a lot of money in the return to the moon plan to speed them up, and at the same time had to think of a plan to take back the information hotspot.

And then there was the plan for the restart of this "Moon Grand Prix".

It has to be said that $50 million is really attractive, and the possible multi-billion dollar order after that is even more attractive.

The reason why this Grand Prix is said to be a "reboot" is because there was a failed Moon Grand Prix before.

The last Moon Grand Prix was to send a rover to the moon and walk a distance of 500 meters on the moon while transmitting 1GB of images and television signals back to Earth.

Because no team had succeeded by the end of the tournament period, the Grand Prix was declared a failure, and the $30 million was not spent.

The last time was also for the private sector and non-governmental entities around the world to promote the development of the commercial space industry and stimulate non-governmental lunar landing projects.

It's the same this time, maybe with the added purpose of competing for the world's hot spots.

Judging from the current situation, the goal of understanding the king has been achieved.

Before the press conference ended, this matter was on the hot search of major social networking sites around the world, of course, it was mainly Merrican's social networking site hot search, which is basically equivalent to the world.

Tianxia's Wei Fu is also on the hot search, after all, Wang understands that he is a person who lives on the hot search all year round, and he is more popular than those top traffic stars with hundreds of millions of fans.

However, the cattle are the cattle criticism, and the moon landing still depends on technology.

After watching the video, everyone in the conference room was looking at Tang Chao, and Tang Chao looked pensive.

He's thinking about how to fight back!

"Moon ......"

He bit the nail of his thumb and scratched at his somewhat long hair with his other hand, and suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Haha, go to the moon, if you don't reach the moon, you're not a hero, isn't the way to fight back here!"

The others looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what happened to the big boss, was it too much pressure and collapsed?

Tang Chao didn't collapse, he thought of a good idea.

He patted the table, his confident and determined eyes swept over everyone, "Everyone, since Merrican smashed our field, then let's go and smash Merrican's field, and use their field to promote ourselves!" ”

"Quietly, recruiting, tomorrow we will start recruiting aerospace technicians, I want to form a team to participate in this Moon Grand Prix, and I want to get the championship and the order!"

"When the time comes, people all over the world will find out that Merriken's return to the moon depends on us to transport it, and see who is embarrassed!"
