"Ladies and gentlemen, all citizens, I am here to tell you that the age of space has arrived.

Not five years from now, not ten years from now, just in our century, from this very moment, mankind has entered the space age. ”

On the playground of Rice University in Texas, John took off his red hat and spoke to the crowd of students and supporters in the sun.

On July 22, Congress passed the Industry Act, the Consumption Act, the Space Force Act, and NACA's 10-Year Space Systems Construction Plan.

Among them, the content of the industrial bill is to impose import tariff restrictions on 122 industries and 1,500 industrial products involved from October, and to subsidize local companies that manufacture them for 10 years, one of the indicators is to increase the production of automobiles from 13 million last year to 20 million in 2018;

For small and medium-sized enterprises that meet the conditions of the bill, more than 20 preferential policies will be implemented from taxation to talent, and the government will fund to help attract talents. In the aerospace-related industry, in particular, workers also receive a special allowance ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per month.

The Consumption Act is a supplement to the Industry Act, which requires stricter restrictions on the payment of unemployment benefits, but unemployment relief agencies will work with local universities to offer more job training courses, and even obtain a diploma with the same status as regular university students to help them find employment;

The Space Force Act officially changed the name of the Aramco Air Force to the Aramco Space Force, awarded a new military flag and insignia, and officially evolved the combat area to the space-atmosphere to improve the global rapid response capability;

As for the "Ten-Year Space System Construction Plan", it is very huge, it is a huge space program that includes the Artemis program, the God of War Ares program, the space station plan, the space station plan, the Starlink construction, deep space exploration, the global tracking and control system, etc., and the core purpose is very simple; Launch a comprehensive catch-up in the space field to the other side of the ocean.

The 10-year plan is expected to launch more than 10,000 tons of payload and 25,000 satellites into space within 10 years, send more than 1,000 astronauts into space, complete the construction of lunar and Martian bases, and maintain fast round-trip routes.

In order to support such a huge crazy plan, John's staff team directly calculated based on the Apollo program:

The Apollo program began in 1961 and ended in 1972, costing $25.5 billion in 12 years, and the cumulative GDP of these 12 years was $10.36 trillion, accounting for about 0.25% of the total.

Last year, Aramco's GDP was $18.8 trillion, 0.25% is $47 billion, and this decade is $470 billion.

However, inflation and the depreciation of the dollar over the past decade, combined with the projected average GDP growth rate of around 2.5 to 3 percent, have resulted in a 10-year total plan of no less than $550 billion, with an average annual NACA expenditure of $55 billion, more than three times that of 2015.

By 2020, by the middle of the plan, NACA will have increased its workforce from 22,000 to 45,000, and its research capacity will be greatly strengthened, with the goal of returning to peak standards once and for all.

Such a huge expansion plan also gave John the confidence again, and Congress was so frightened by the rapid progress on the other side that it passed the Ten-Year Plan with little lobbying, and it seemed that it would be easy to add more.

“…… Citizens, 55 years ago Kennedy said here that we would land on the moon in 10 years, and now I am here to say: we will become an interstellar civilization in 10 years!

Our path is full of thorns, and we swim against the current, not asking why we do it, but saying what we can do together for the progress of humanity and make us great again! ”

……

"United Mining takes the first step in the development of space ore resources."

"John wants the unemployed to receive more than $4,000 a month."

"The world's most high-tech mining company was founded."

"NACA announced a four-trillion-yuan ten-year development plan to build 10 of the strongest aircraft carriers."

"The media in many countries spoke highly of the development of space resources and expressed optimism about the future of the global rare earth market."

"Lucia expert: The moon's rare earth resources are enough for human use for more than 10,000 years."

"National Trade Import and Export Corporation: Lunar rare earth development may lead to a decline in rare earth prices."

“……”

On the 22nd and 23rd, both sides of the Pacific Ocean once again raised the heat of space to new heights.

The registered capital of 10 billion yuan of United Mining was a blockbuster, a number of domestic industrial groups and investors expressed strong confidence, and a large number of details of the "Yushu" base construction plan were announced, each of which is worthy of exclamation.

Experts continue to talk about the advantages of lunar ore development, and repeatedly emphasize that the transportation cost is not high when the technology matures, how profitable it is to transport rare earths back to Earth after smelting, and so on.

On the other side, although Aramco has not had time to react to this, John's three economy-related bills have also set off a huge wave, and the auto industry stocks, which have been sluggish, have risen sharply at the open, and the local new energy vehicle brand Rivian has directly increased the limit.

Subsequently, several major automobile manufacturers also announced the construction of new automobile assembly plants in various places, and a large number of unemployed people wanted to find jobs in them.

Not to mention the ten-year plan, the various manufacturers that have in-depth cooperation with NACA are once again favored by the market, and even the market value of the US-listed Oriental International Space Tourism Company has risen slightly by 7%.

On the one hand, they joined the Huayin Treaty Organization and vigorously cooperated with Huaguo Aerospace, and they had just subscribed for $20 billion in Arab-US bonds, and they were temporarily in a state of currying favor with both sides.

Prince Switan has returned to Arbor with Reana Alcari and Ali Alkarli, who have been in perfect condition since the Mecca Space Shuttle had been maintained and painted in a new livery last month.

According to the original agreement, the two Abel astronauts lifted off at the Mukara Cosmodrome and docked with the Storm launched on the same day to the Tiangong space station, where they completed the transfer of personnel and then broke away and headed for the moon.

This is a very important link, and although a whopping $2 billion is charged for "scheduling", the meaning of being able to launch from your own territory is completely different.

In fact, the Tianmu 2 mission was quite busy, and the place where they landed was no longer the Guanghangong No. 1 base near the Qom impact crater, but the mining site planned by Xinyuan.

Even if Leana paid the money, he had to work together honestly, follow Deng Lei and Li Wei everywhere to prospect, and have a more detailed understanding of the mining environment.

The "Full Moon" lander used in this mission has been customized according to Xinyuan's needs, and can provide the three astronauts with an expected mission time of 48 to 72 hours, which is also the first lunar landing program that is for commercial interests from start to finish, and will also be counted as a promotional point in the early launch mission of United Mining.
