Chapter 891: The whole world rejoices
After breakfast, the reporter upstairs heard the news.
Good thing it's not live.
Xu Dong reluctantly accepted the interview, and in the course of the brief interview, he not only talked about retirement, but also expressed his views on the moon landing operation.
It's nothing more than clichΓ©s like support and blessings.
At the end of the interview, he personally promised the audience in front of the TV that he would donate one billion yuan to the Ministry of Aerospace next.
This is his last public welfare activity, and he will gradually fade out of public view in the future.
As for the title of the richest man in the world, it will be changed to the Xu family at that time, or it will simply retreat into the background.
This is also a traditional practice of many large families.
And his side is self-made, with a shallow foundation, and he has not paid much attention to this aspect of the problem, which led to the title of "the richest man".
In fact, there are more people in the world who are richer than him, such as those big warlords in America, and every family behind them can be called rich.
Half an hour later, Xu Dong's interview video appeared on live TV, and then quickly rushed to the top ten of the day's hot search list, ranking fifth.
Ahead of him were:
1st place: manned landing on the moon.
2nd place: Five astronauts ready to go.
Third place: the lunar base "Guanghan Palace".
Fourth place: "Expedition One".
This is the launch vehicle for this mission to the moon.
With a total length of 108 meters, a total mass of 2,805 tons, and a take-off thrust of about 5,000 tons, the rocket is capable of achieving a capacity of more than 90 tons in polar orbit and 40 tons in lunar transfer orbit, making it the most advanced launch vehicle ever.
Not long after, perhaps for the sake of the face of the billion-dollar donation, the Ministry of Space sent a director over and invited Mr. the richest man to visit the launch center.
However, he was politely rejected by Xu Dong.
In addition to the staff, there are other leaders and foreign guests at all levels in the launch center, and they can only be watched through the big screen, so it is better to stay!

February 17, 2049 at 10:32 AM.
With the end of the countdown.
The "Tuanjie" spacecraft, together with its 36-story "Yuanzheng-1" rocket, was successfully launched from the integrated launch pad of the Zibei Space Center.
The whole world was instantly plunged into a sea of joy.
In Amsterdam, the capital of the European Union, people spontaneously took to the streets to watch live broadcasts on big screens in major squares.
When the rocket took off, a deafening cheer erupted over the city, and countless people waved the flags of the Asian and European Unions.
The voices of "Hooray" and "Hooray" come and go.
Some people were even so excited that they wept bitterly.
Ever since the Great Flare erupted, the bad news has been overwhelmingly depressing, and nothing has been as exciting as the moon landing.
In fact, the hard days are not terrible, the terrible thing is that they can't see the future, they have bravely taken the first step, which is an extremely correct step.
In an office in the country of Mao Xiong, several elders discussed the future of their country with envious expressions on their faces.
To the west, or to the east?
This problem has been bothering them for many years.
At the same time, far away on the other side of the Atlantic, in America, it was night at this time, and both the upper elites and the lower ordinary people were always paying attention to the live broadcast of the moon landing.
No one understands the meaning of the "moon landing" better than they do.
An ordinary beer hall in the capital, Panama, was crowded at this time, and the crowd was tightly packed around a middle-aged man.
Francis Centrien Crabbe.
The veteran of the liberation of Brest did not choose to stay in the European Union to enjoy the fruits of victory, but "lurked" in America at risk.
It's still his old job.
"President Vincent, is Ahu already so strong?" Arthur couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course, as far as I know, the entire lunar landing project, as well as the subsequent lunar base, has a total investment of more than 850 billion Daxia coins, which is almost a trillion yuan when converted into our dollars."
"Wow, the people of Daxia are really rich!"
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
"Vincent, didn't you go on a business trip to Great Xia before? What are the living conditions like over there? β
Vincent shook his head: "To be honest, in addition to the fact that the security environment is much better, the life of ordinary Daxia families is actually similar to ours, and some may even be a little worse." β
"How could they spend so much unjust money......"
Some people expressed puzzlement.
"This is called the overall situation, everyone knows that the people of Daxia are particularly good at long-term planning, they never calculate the gains and losses of the moment, to tell the truth, the moon landing is good for all of us mankind."
"What's in it?" A black dude asked.
"This is about another super project of the Great Xia people, controllable nuclear fusion, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
"What is this for?"
Compared with Europa, the people at the bottom of America are much worse in terms of personal quality and cultural level.
"Then let me explain it briefly!" Vincent smiled happily, "Controlled nuclear fusion is mainly used to generate electricity, and with it, everyone will not have to worry about the lack of electricity in the future." β
"Really?"
The crowd's eyes widened.
The rich die in the neighborhoods of the rich and the poor die of the poor, and the communities of the rich turn on the air conditioners all year round, while the ordinary communities where they live often have power outages at two ends for three days, and the electricity prices are huge.
"What do they use to generate electricity?"
Someone wondered.
"Helium-three, a particularly scarce resource, is only 0.5 tons in the entire Blue Star, which is not enough to stuff the teeth, and there are more on the moon."
Vincent avoided the important and took it lightly.
"F**K, no wonder they want to go to the moon."
"It's a pity, speaking of which, we are the first country to land on the moon, and we all blame those bastards above for choosing to abandon their martial arts, which is too short-sighted."
Recalling the glorious days of the beautiful country, everyone's eyes can't help but shine, although they are living in a difficult situation now, they are undoubtedly the most patriotic group of people.
Seeing that everyone's emotions were mobilized, Vincent immediately began to instill his own private goods: "Everyone, the Great Xia people have already landed on the moon, and they will land on Mars in the future, can we only watch?" β
"What else else?"
Arthur said dejectedly.
"Listen to me, the people of Great Xia did not close the door to us. As you can see, among the five astronauts this time, there is an Europa and another is a woolly bear, and we can also apply to join it. β
"Where did we get the money? Last year, in order to save money, the state abolished compulsory education, and it is estimated that it is more difficult to get them to pay for it. β
"We have money, but the tax money has been taken away by the gang above, they have endless fat to eat and endless wine every day, so they don't care about the future, they only care about themselves."
Vincent said this and slapped the table hard.
"President Vincent, you're so right, they're just vampires, it's so unfair that we work so hard and end up not having enough to eat, let alone send our children to school."
"I'm not kidding you, our America has now been reduced to a tuba Tianzhu."
"We can not go to the moon, but we have to be fed, which is the most basic requirement."
"And the wages are too low, and the wages must be raised."
The atmosphere suddenly became intense.
