Chapter 442: Lunar Ship Harbor
The "Moon Levitation Project" is definitely a surprise, in fact, it does have a continuation of the Nantianmen Project, but as Lin Yongming expressed, it is indeed a very interesting and bold idea.
No wonder he called himself over to demonstrate it himself. In a sense, he is like a child who has discovered an interesting new toy and can't wait to share it with Chen Nian.
And he guessed right, Chen Nian really likes this kind of sharing.
"So is there a possibility that this plan will be implemented?"
Lin Yongming asked.
"Absolutely!"
Chen Nian replied without hesitation.
"There is no better place to conduct magnetic levitation experiments than the moon, and we don't even need to use any metallic hydrogen materials, but can use cheaper low-temperature superconducting materials."
"This gives us room to reduce costs and also allows us to build on a large scale."
"It's really great, and it's exciting to think about the future."
Chen Nian didn't hide his excitement at all.
What does a large-scale lunar suspension system mean?
As Chen Nian said at the beginning, this is the foundation of the entire lunar industry.
When humans were able to move quickly and quickly on the lunar surface, things that could not be done suddenly became no problem.
At that time, the crossing of the moon may no longer need a chemical rocket, nor a working fluid engine, but can be done simply by adjusting the direction of the magnetic field!
This is a huge system project, and it is also a technical direction with absolutely broad prospects.
If one day, the technology matures, or mankind makes a breakthrough in the field of theoretical physics, then it will not be too much of a problem to copy this system to the earth
"So, are we going to start a new project while the Nantianmen project is on track?"
Chen Guo on the side asked with a little worry.
Of the two people in front of him, one has no big idea about the budget at all, and only knows that he is crazy about asking for money as a project director;
The other, while concerned about the budget, is a bit too aggressive a lot of the time.
If they really ignore it, they are afraid that they will really dare to take the project as a decision.
"Of course not."
Chen Nian and Lin Yongming said in unison.
This made Chen Guo a little confused-—— obviously just now, the two of them still looked overjoyed, and now they suddenly calmed down again?
"It's not a short-term project."
Chen Nian opened his mouth and said.
"Theoretically, this project is a foreshadowing of the interstellar age, and its significance lies in the fact that it can turn the moon into an outpost for human beings to step into the universe and into deep space."
"And it's clear that in the coming decades, we still don't have the need for large-scale space exploration."
"So, what we're talking about now is really a question of a big vision."
"We don't need to do it right away, but we can prepare for it now."
"Including what you said, the question of whether to carry out project-based operation - of course it is, but it doesn't need to exist in the form of a new project, just merge it into the Moon Palace project."
"After all, our Moon Palace can't just be a small ground base. It has to be the real Moon Palace. ”
"Understood."
Chen Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
Although at various levels, the current China can be regarded as wealthy, but it is limited to the "ground" and the "earth".
The idea of space exploration and large-scale extraterrestrial bases has always been too advanced, and it is simply impossible to support it in terms of funds and resources.
"So what are we going to do next? I mean, what does Xinghuo need to do about this project? ”
He asked.
This question stopped Chen Nian.
It seems like there's nothing special to do in a short period of time?
Technically, it can follow the footsteps of the Moon Palace project and the Nantianmen project to advance step by step, and in terms of resources, in fact, this project does not need any special resources that must be prepared in advance.
Even himself, there was nothing he had to do.
Because this is ultimately a "collection of technologies", rather than a single technology, it is not meaningful to analyze and accelerate R&D through the system.
Then put it aside.——
Wait a minute.
Chen Nian suddenly thought of something, and then, a smile appeared on his face.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Technically, we don't need to do anything in advance."
"But in terms of preparing public opinion, we really should take action."
"Public opinion preparation? Is it that fast? ”
Chen Guo asked suspiciously.
Generally speaking, the object of public opinion is, of course, the "contemporary people", because only the public opinion of the contemporary people will influence the decision-making of the contemporary people.
But Chen Nian just said that this is a project that may not be launched in 50 years, so what is the point of preparing public opinion now?
As if seeing through Chen Guo's doubts, Chen Nian opened his mouth and said:
"We are not going to prepare public opinion for this project, but to prepare for the future of humanity."
"To put it bluntly, it's time for us to throw out some bigger narratives to change people's perceptions and maintain the unity of the 'human' species."
As soon as his words fell, Chen Guo immediately understood what he meant.
"You're saying we need to define bigger long-term goals?"
"That's right."
Chen Nian nodded and continued:
"In fact, we can also see that in the past few decades, mankind has never had a grandiose, unified common goal."
"There may be within various countries and nations, for example, our goal is 'the great unity of the people of the world' and 'the red flag is planted all over the world', while the goal of the British is 'to recast the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets.'"
"But in reality, these goals are not universal, and they can't bring everyone together."
"Putting aside the question of productivity and the nature of data generation, the difference in goals is also one of the reasons for the continued division of humanity, which is the problem of 'construction methods' on the foundation."
"We solved the difficulties of the foundation with nuclear fusion and superconductivity technology, so now is the time to start optimizing our construction methods."
"It is difficult to promote the system we believe in to the whole world, so it is better to start from a higher place and carry out cultural penetration from the top down."
"No problem, I'll arrange it."
Chen Guo said decisively.
Looking at Chen Nian's face that had gradually matured, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
More than ten years ago, when I first met him, he was still a hairy boy who had just entered college.
Now, they have begun to think from the perspective of all human beings, and they can really exert influence
How far can he go if he is given some more time?
Chen Guo suddenly hoped that he could live a little longer and see Chen Nian's final achievements with his own eyes.
"Then I will cooperate with Mr. Lin on this point - by the way, I will pull Li Xiang in and engage in public opinion, he is still more professional."
"Of course you can, but I have a suggestion."
"What advice?"
Chen Guo asked curiously.
Chen Nian's face turned grim, and he said solemnly:
"Blow it big!"
"Anyway, we can do it."
"What are you talking about? Huaxia wants to build a lunar ship port? What technology is used to build it? ”
Yellowstone Farm, or the headquarters of the New Alliance in North America, Keith asked in disbelief as he looked at Wes in surprise.
Wess on the other side was also shocked, and he didn't seem to know how to answer his brother's question.
After all, this news is too far ahead of its time, too sci-fi, too "out of this era".
At a time when the United States, where they are located, is still making a mess for such a small profit on the ground, and even Washington and the military are involved in the struggle between capital, the eyes of the Chinese people have directly transcended this small earth and reached their grand interstellar expedition plan.
The Lunar Ship Harbor is indeed a romantic project.
I think I've only seen such a concept when I was a kid and in those Hollywood science fiction movies?
And now, it seems that the concept is about to become a reality.
I have to say that it is indeed a country that can work miracles.
After hesitating for a long time, Weiss replied:
"Yes, according to the public news released so far, it does seem that they are planning to build a super-large port on the moon that can be used for giant spacecraft to dock and land."
"This port time is based on electromagnetic and superconductivity technology - well, I don't know anything about these things, if you really want to know Haul, you might as well read their news yourself."
"All I can say is amazing."
Hearing his words, Wes nodded thoughtfully.
But then he asked:
"I can imagine how amazing it is without having to watch the news – but the question is, what does it have to do with us?"
Looking at his confused expression, Wes shook his head slightly.
Then he spoke:
"It's not just about us, it's about it."
"You should go online more and see how people react to this."
"It is no exaggeration to say that according to the current atmosphere, many people have regarded Huaxia as the savior of this world and as a prophet who can lead the future direction of mankind."
"The support they have received has never been stronger, and their image has never been higher."
"Even some of the once staunch anti-China groups I know have defected and are about to throw themselves into their arms."
"Keith, do you know what that means?"
Keith frowned, pondering the meaning of Wes's words.
But obviously, he is really not good at this, and no matter how hard he tries, he can only understand the meaning of "on the surface", and cannot see what is hidden behind it.
So, he simply spoke:
"I don't understand—just tell me."
Wess sighed and replied:
"This means that Huaxia really intends to lead mankind."
"They may not want to be masters of the world, but they must want to be pioneers of the world."
"Hmmm, amazing ambition, and then what?"
Keith continued.
"And then? Okay, let me finish it in one go. ”
"You have to think about our situation, right now, our worst enemy is the federal government."
"And obviously, the federal government once wanted to do the same thing as the Chinese, but they failed."
"So now, what happens when the Huaxia people expose this ambition of theirs?"
"Think about it from your own point of view! If someone were to do something you didn't do, what would you do? ”
Maybe I'll try to stop him."
"That's right!"
Wes breathed a sigh of relief, his brother was just a little sluggish, but he wasn't stupid.
"So here's the problem, the other side wants to lead the human race, and the Federation wants to stop them, so they will definitely get into a struggle."
"And this also means that in the past few years, the tacit understanding between the two sides and their 'stalemate' are likely to be broken."
"I see, this is our chance."
Keith said immediately.
"Yes, this is our opportunity-—— this is the opportunity you have been waiting for."
"I can tell you that the war you want is about to begin."
"From today, from this moment on, we will move from the original conservative to the radical."
"We're going to officially go to war."
Wess's tone was extremely heavy, but in the heaviness, there was a resolute and inspiring ambition.
They're really going to get to big things.
It is no longer a small fight based on the so-called "legal framework", but a real big thing that can make the country develop in the direction you want!
"Are we going to get rid of our legal status first?"
Keith asked in a deep voice.
"No, it's not necessary."
"When we start doing those things, we don't need to abandon them, and someone will help us take off our legal cloak naturally."
"All in all, we just have to let it go."
"Understood."
Keith nodded slightly, then continued to ask:
"So, what do we do first?"
"Cut ties with other defense and security companies and strengthen cooperation with LMS."
"Why?!"
Case's eyes widened.
"LMS is Loma's security company, and I thought we should kick them out of the way first."
"You're thinking wrong."
Wess said mercilessly:
"Your knowledge of these things is almost equivalent to a blank sheet of paper. I can tell you that Loma is split, and even if it doesn't, LMS can't simply be considered part of Loma. ”
"In fact, it's long since it broke away from Loma, out of federal control."
"That who is it. I understand. ”
Keith finally came to his senses.
"So, that's why they helped us fight Tyson in the first place, and the so-called benefits are just a façade."
"Interests are certainly not a front, but they are pursuing more than just interests."
"Alright, now go out and talk to the LMS guys."
"Don't go to their captain, go to that drone pilot, he's the real decision-maker."
"Understood!"
Keith turned and walked outside the house, and when he pushed the door open, he was surprised to find that the drone pilot was already standing in the doorway waiting for him
