"Mr. President is very angry!"

"He's about to regret his re-election now, bad things are happening one after another, returning to the moon was the most brilliant achievement of his second term, and now you guys have made it like this!"

"If it weren't for us stopping you, Jim, you'd have gotten the news of your dismissal from Twitter by now!"

Kuna, a henchman who understands the king, pointed at Jim, the director of NASA, through the screen, and said solemnly.

Director Jim opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't.

Confessed.

It's still a video conference, it's still the Moon Grand Prix, the Merriken Space Agency, and the President's Office, and it's still the same three principals.

The difference is that the number of people at Merrican Space has decreased significantly, and the number of scientists and engineers sitting in the back last time is half as small.

Seeing that no one spoke, Kuna said again: "Don't you know such a big rocket?" I don't even know their information, how did you come up with your last proposal? ”

"Look me in the eye and tell me!"

The people on the other side of the big competition shrugged their shoulders directly when they heard this, and the meaning was obvious, they were just a bonus-payout, who knew a fart about aerospace technology.

The director of NASA wiped the sweat from the air conditioner with a handkerchief and said: "This, Mr. Kuna, you need to ask those private space companies, even the intelligence department, this kind of question." ”

"While we at NASA can discover the secrets of distant stars, we really can't see the secrets of other people's factories."

“……”

"Shet!"

Kuna scolded secretly, and then Zhengse said: "I will definitely let the intelligence officers do this, but the first thing we need to do now is to calm down this turmoil, do you have any good methods?" ”

“……”

When asked about this, both sides fell silent.

Again?

Although this matter was originally related to aerospace, but now it is not only a matter in the aerospace field, and they really can't do anything but come out and explain it again and make another statement.

But the above will definitely not allow Tianxia's company to become the main contractor of the Merriken moon landing program, or even the subcontractor, so it can only issue a similar statement.

It's the equivalent of sticking your face out and looking for a second hit.

However, if the new statement indicates that the other party can participate in the contract bidding, even if it is temporarily agreed, it proves that they did have a conspiracy and a secret operation before.

This is also a slap in the face.

Can't fight anymore!

If you want to fight, you can't just hit yourself!

Never!

Jim, the director of the space administration, was entangled for a moment, and didn't ask the opinions of those scientists, but rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea.

"Mr. Kuna, I think it's time to bring those space company bosses together for a meeting, after all, they have a vested interest in this time, and the moon landing contract will eventually be given to them, and it's time for them to contribute."

After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if it works, anyway, he has to pull others in first.

There are many people, whether it is an idea or a gun, the chances of this Mr. President's henchmen paying attention to him will be much smaller.

Now it's just him and the director of the Grand Prix, but the director of the Grand Prix is a waste, and Kuna can only look for him.

And it's Merrican, how can a government agency come forward to solve things for a private company!

After that, the big private space companies that signed contracts and made a lot of money should let them contribute to this kind of thing.

How could the government's moon landing contract be so easy to sign.

The meeting ended in a hurry without discussing anything useful, but Kuna felt that he would be able to find a solution next time.

After going offline, he didn't wait, but directly contacted the bosses of those companies, and everyone had an online meeting.

There will be no offline meetings.

First, there is too much time, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and it cannot wait.

The second is to save the media from discovering what kind of conspiracy theories the bosses of several major aerospace companies are gathering in the capital.

Although their deeds this time are indeed disgraceful.

Also, he approached the head of the intelligence department and gave them a task.

The space agency can't peek inside the building, but the intelligence services can.

It is not the first time that official power has been used against Tianxia's private company.

……………………

On the other side of the planet, the Star Navigator Corporation is located in Eguchi City.

Although the temperature in Eguchi City in December did not reach below freezing, it was still very cold.

Jiangkou City is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the whole is also protruding out of the sea, in Tianxia, the geographical location is not north, south is not south.

The rain is damp and the sky is hazy, there is no cold wind in the north, but there are gusts of demon wind urging you to die.

But in this case, even if it is close to 10 o'clock in the evening, the lights are still bright, and a large number of construction workers and machinery are working.

The reason why Tang Chao's "Kanxing Moon Landing Team" was able to assemble the "Chu Sai" rocket in its own factory was because of this.

The "infrastructure madness" is easy to say, but in fact, it is so desperately driven out.

If you want to get something, you have to do it yourself.

If you don't work hard, others won't give you charity.

Tang Chao has his own money, of course, he will not treat these builders badly, because of their own regulations, Tang Chao can't give money directly, so he has other benefits.

For example, in addition to normal food, Tang Chao will ask Chen Jing to add meals to them, meat, eggs, milk, and fruits to ensure nutrition.

They also provided additional heating equipment in their temporary prefabricated dormitory, and also helped pay for the electricity bills, so as to ensure their heating in this cold weather.

However, today's protagonists are not these builders, but Tang Chao and Zhao Li, and what they traded this time.

Twelve YF130 rocket engines with a thrust of 480 tons, two YF220 rocket engines of 90 tons, four YF79 rocket engines of 25 tons.

This is the basic engine configuration and number required for a Long March 9 rocket.

That's what the last National Space Congress talked about: getting private space companies on the Long March 9 mission.

Depending on the situation, it is divided into core orders and edge orders, and Star Navigator gets engine orders.

Of course, this is actually a disguise, and this order is also a black-box operation.

After trading all the technology of the Long March 9, the rocket engine soon began to be manufactured in the relevant production units, and the time could catch up with the first flight, but in order to cover up the deeper transaction, this thing was cited as a cover.

Since the Long March 9 suddenly appeared, espionage activities in various countries have increased in Tianxia, and Tianxia can only be cleared while operating "normally".

Anyway, these engines will not be broken when they are bought, and they will soon be used on the second and third rockets.

The real item traded this time is top-of-the-line semiconductor technology.

This includes the whole industry technology, there are new chip frame design technology, and there are also physical key parts of top lithography machines.

Anyway, with these things, if the other side wields the chip stick again, China can decouple from them without hesitation and no longer buy any of their chips.

Tang Chao got these things from Kanxing, and Kanxing's technological level is slightly stronger than that of the earth, so these technologies are available.

Although the Canxing Space Center also bought these things and had to abide by the contract, when they were shipped to Earth, these things were at his disposal.

Let his subordinates keep an eye on these things, pack them and take them away in the shortest time, Zhao Li invited Tang Chao aside.

"Tang Chao, you have to be careful lately, based on our past experience, you may have to deal with the intelligence agency of Meiriken next."

Tang Chao saw that Zhao Li was so serious, but the content was only experience, not exact information, so he frowned and asked, "What?" Don't you get any specific information? ”

"Yes," Zhao Li nodded, "Because we have experienced similar incidents several times, we have analyzed the current situation and found many similar points, so we have come to this speculation." ”

"If you want specific information, we can get it before they make a formal move."

"Don't worry."
