Everyone in the entire office was like a frosted eggplant, with their heads bowed and not saying a word!

This is definitely the last thing they want to hear!

Just in terms of controllable nuclear fusion and fully intelligent AI systems, it is not enough to lag behind this era!

Now how is this ......

Even the aerospace stuff...... Also so far behind?

Before, it was barely acceptable!

At most, it is far away from this era!

But now it's not a matter of the far side!

Now they can't see the taillights of this era at all!

Even, I can't even see the car prints of this era!

The speed of development in this era is a little too fast and too unacceptable!

After a long, long time.

These people have finally calmed down a bit.

The head of NASA was worried, and said with a worried face:

"The problem we are facing now ...... I'm afraid it's not just about engine power! And that's just a gap between us and our time! ”

"I'm afraid...... The biggest gap between us and this era is still on that escape pod! This thing is estimated to be a product that really transcends this era! ”

"This kind of thing...... I have the impression that it only exists in theory! With our current level of science and technology, it is absolutely impossible to do it! ”

"Even with their technological level and R&D capabilities...... I can't make this kind of thing! ”

"Don't think that the escape pod is very small, so there is no scientific and technological content! There are no technical requirements! ”

"Actually...... This kind of relatively small technology products are even higher than the technical requirements of those larger technology products! Even, the technology used is more advanced than that of aerospace aircraft! ”

As the de facto leader of scientific research.

He's not just in charge of managing things!

I know a lot more about technology than anyone else on the scene!

No one knows better than him how difficult it is to manufacture such miniaturized technological products!

After all, without changing the functionality of the product.

The smaller the volume of the product, the more requirements for processing accuracy and technology! The more difficult it is to complete!

He just couldn't figure it out.

With the current level of technology, how can such a thing be made?

This kind of thing...... It should only exist in theories and ideas!

Could it be that they are not far behind the technology of this era...... Is it really that big?

After hearing these words from him.

There was an eerie silence for everyone.

Everyone is silent!

I don't know what to say at all!

After some time.

The top commander of the Ministry of Defense said with a serious face:

"Looks like ...... We need to reassess the level of technology in this era! Reassess where we are now! ”

"We can no longer deal with the changes and development of the current era with that very relaxed mentality! Even...... It's not just about paying attention! ”

"The current level of development of science and technology has far exceeded our expectations! In this way...... I'm afraid it's really everyone who is a space immigrant, but we are still playing with mud on the blue star! ”

"Immediately add the aerospace aspect back to our R&D program! Right now...... We are too far behind the technological level of this era! Something more must be done! ”

"The question of funding...... Don't worry, everyone! I'll find a way to apply to the Supreme Council when I get back! For now, the only way to do this is to keep the budget and expenses down! ”

"All projects that have nothing to do with technology have been greatly reduced! Priority for our scientific research! Right now...... That's the number one thing! ”

His heart was full of helplessness at this time!

This is definitely the last thing he wants to face!

It's also the last thing you want to use!

But now......

They have no other choice!

Otherwise, it will greatly depress the input of other parties.

Otherwise, they are waiting to be eliminated by this era!

After hearing these words from him.

The others at the scene frowned, their faces full of doubts:

"Sir! Do you really want to do this? ”

"If you do that...... The resistance we face will be very great! ”

"I'm afraid that many people will not be able to accept this result!"

"In particular, a lot of the basic investment, if it is weakened......"

"I'm afraid it will cause them great dissatisfaction!"

The hearts of other people at the scene were full of shock!

Countless question marks are constantly floating in their minds!

Everyone's hearts are full of incomprehension!

All kinds of doubtful voices continued to echo in their bodies.

"This ...... Have we come to this point? Things have come to this point? Do we already have to do this? ”

"Cutting on other areas? Even...... Even a lot of infrastructure spending needs to be cut? How is this possible? ”

"Once...... We are also a top technology power! It's also a leader in the technology industry! Even if it's not the leader now, it shouldn't have fallen to this extent, right? ”

"This is the same as the level of technology in this era...... Is there really that big of a gap? Is it really that far away from current technology? ”

"Isn't this really our hallucination? Aren't we really dreaming? Even if we are a little far from the technological level of the times...... It shouldn't be this distance, right? ”

"This distance...... Isn't that a little too magical? A little too bizarre? It's kind of unbelievable! ”

A burst of shock continued to spread in the hearts of others at the scene.

The bottom of everyone's hearts is full of unbelievable!

They couldn't imagine it.

It's just such a short period of time!

They have fallen to such an extent!

It is necessary to reduce the expenditure in other areas to support the development of science and technology!

This was a completely unimaginable thing for them before!

To know.

For them in the past, just taking out a little money casually was enough to meet the needs of scientific research!

Even...... It's just that little bit of investment.

They have already become the world's leaders in science and technology!

But now!

Their investment in scientific and technological research and development has been dozens of times more than in the past!

But...... So much money was smashed into it, but it didn't get the slightest effect!

Now the amount of investment funds will continue to increase?

Even, it will crush the capital investment in many other infrastructures!

They can't understand all this anyway!

I can't accept all this!

After some time.

The supreme commander of the Ministry of Defense sighed and said weakly:

"Just do as I say! Times have changed now! We can no longer look at the development of this era as before! We have to adapt to the times! ”

"Back in the day, when we were technology leaders...... It's long gone! Gone are the days when it was easy to win the crown of the tech world! ”

"Now we have to invest more! Even if it is to squeeze the construction of other infrastructure, it is necessary to increase investment! Otherwise, the ...... awaits us It's only completely forgotten by humans! ”

"At that time, everyone was already space immigrants! We're just going to have to live on the Blue Star! This kind of thing...... We absolutely cannot accept it! ”

"I'm going to deal with the bill now! Glance...... How to apply to the Supreme Council! ”

"Think about it in advance, how to calm the emotions of the people! Give them a shot in advance! Otherwise, I am afraid that they will not be able to accept the direct reduction of capital investment in other aspects! ”

Worry was written all over his face at this time!

After all, for the sake of technological development, there is such a thing as cutting expenses in other areas......

But it never happened!

For this kind of thing.

If you don't give those people a dozen vaccinations in advance......

How could they possibly accept it? How can you bear it?

After hearing these words of the Supreme Commander of the Ministry of Defense.

The others, despite their reluctance, sprang into action.

They also know that this is also their best way now, the only choice!

…………

Meanwhile.

The other end of the blue star.

Inside the Aerospace Aircraft Voyage Edition.

After hearing what Jiang Chen had just said.

She was slightly stunned for a moment, and then, her face was full of surprise:

"Can we go see the escape pod now?"

"So fast? I just don't know ......."

"What does this escape pod look like?"

"Hurry, hurry! Brother Chen! Hurry up and show us around! ”

"I can't wait! It's an escape pod! It's something you only get in science fiction movies! ”

She looked at Jiang Chen and kept urging.

For this kind of thing, how could she suppress the curiosity in her heart and not want to hurry over to take a look?

It's not just her.

Yang Mi, who was standing aside, was also full of expectation in her eyes at this time.

I'd love to see what this escape pod looks like.

Although, as the head of the Jiaxing company.

But this kind of specific product research and development content, in fact, has always been in charge of Jiang Chen.

She hadn't seen the escape pod in real terms, either.

Many people in the live broadcast room held their breath and looked directly at the screen in front of them, not even daring to breathe.

In the eyes of everyone full of anticipation.

Jiang Chen led Yang Mi and a few people towards the other end of the aerospace aircraft voyage version.

Wait until you walk into this room over here.

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone was stunned when they looked at this scene in front of them!

Even, Yang Mi and the others couldn't help but freeze in place, as if they couldn't even walk!

The entire live broadcast room fell into a state of silence.

Everyone was staring at the scene in front of them.

It's as if you've completely lost the ability to think!

The whole world seemed to be quiet at this moment.

Right across everyone's eyes.

Lying quietly there are countless rectangles that look very cool and very advanced, like coffins.

From the outside, each cuboid has enough volume for five people to lie side by side.

However, the actual seat inside is only a space for one person.

All these cuboids look very special, with a milky white glow.

This material ...... Obviously not something that can be made in this day and age.

What's even more peculiar is that at the bottom of these rectangles, there is something like an engine.

Obviously.

This should be the so-called escape pod!

Faced with this first sight, everyone's hearts were full of confusion.

Reba looked confused and asked:

"Brother Chen! This one...... Is it the escape pod of our aerospace aircraft? ”

"But...... Why do I always feel that something is different from what I imagined? It's not the same as the ones I've seen in a lot of sci-fi movies before! ”

"This one looks ...... It seems to be huge! With this volume, if you look at it from the outside, even if you lie down with five people, it doesn't seem to be a problem, right? ”

"But the question is, how does the space look like here...... Seems so small, huh? Looks like you can only lie down one person? ”

"Is there a special reason for making this thing so big? And...... When I look at this thing, it looks pretty tall! ”

"This is too far from the escape pod I imagined! And...... What are those two things under the escape hatch? Could it be ...... Is it an engine? ”

Although Reba didn't know about the technology of the escape pod.

However, she has seen science fiction movies many times!

Escape pods are also frequent visitors to science fiction movies!

However, of all the escape pods she had seen, none were that big!

Almost all of the people's escape pods are about the size of a coffin.

But this one in front of you......

It's not just Reba who feels very puzzled.

Many people in the live broadcast room were also confused.

It's also the first time they've seen an escape pod.

It's just that this thing is indeed a little different from what they expected!

According to their guess, the escape pod should be better than the thing they see now...... It has to be a lot smaller!

However, this escape pod has been made so big!

Isn't that...... Is there any special purpose?

Time.

Everyone's eyes widened, staring at the screen in front of them with a serious expression.

Waiting for Jiang Chen to give them an answer.

After all......

If it were anything else, they could barely guess.

However, the escape pod is really not a lot of speculation!

After all, this is the first time in human history that such a thing has appeared!
