Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2485 "Sensible"

As a member of a minority group, although Catherine's body shape is not as graceful as that of women, her mental state is very "feminine".

After digging for a while, he was already breathing slightly and said to the microphone: "Is Jiuzhou Xinghai Company deliberately embarrassing us? If so many intelligent robots help us to carry out the task, we may only need an hour. No, I watched the live broadcast of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company. These engineering robots are very efficient. We may only need to stay here for 20 minutes before we can go back to the spaceship to rest.

There are no blue sky and white clouds here, only dark starry sky. It is too depressing and scary. I don’t even feel safe!

Ah! Someone please save me! ... I shouldn’t have given up my university job.”

Locke, the captain of NASA's manned lunar landing team, heard team member Catherine sighing in the voice channel, and even affected the mental state of another team member Jim. After a little thought, he decided to "risk the world's condemnation" and shut up this person of unknown gender who took advantage of the loophole and entered the lunar landing team.

“Catherine, we are now on the moon. What we need to do is to live up to everyone’s expectations, dig up the best lunar materials, and bring them safely back to the blue planet for our scientists to study and improve our technology.

If you feel too tired to do the job, you can take a break.

Jim, let's continue working. The lunar rover just sent us a map. The material of the crater next to it seems to be a little special..."

Jim, the astronaut with a high nose and yellow hair, was very sensible and lowered the voice chat volume of team member Catherine after hearing the command from Captain Locke, and then continued to work.

Although these three astronauts are "heroes" of NASA, their status in NASA and in the United States is not high.

At this time, NASA was in chaos.

There are scientists and engineers assisting in directing the work of the three astronauts; there are managers searching for information on artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, trying to communicate with Jiuzhou Xinghai Company and Daxia Aerospace Group to ensure the smooth progress of their own manned lunar mission; and there is also a group of managers who are arguing frantically.

Some even quarreled loudly without paying any attention to the environment.

"Robin! You are still backing off at this time! You are the head of our NASA! You are not an employee of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, nor an ordinary employee of Daxia Aerospace Group! Why should we let their robots transport our lunar spacecraft to other places?! If any problems arise during this period, resulting in damage to the lunar spacecraft and failure to return successfully, can you bear this responsibility? I ask you! Answer me!!!"

"Fuck! This is an insult! Jiuzhou Technology and Daxia Aerospace Group are insulting us! What is Jiuzhou Xinghai Company? Isn't it a subsidiary of Jiuzhou Technology? Isn't it Gu Qing, the devil from hell, who is deliberately suppressing our NASA!?"

"Damn it, I can't accept it! Why should our astronauts be transported like cattle and horses by these robots and have to move to another place to perform their mission?"

"Dr. Rosen! Come out and say something!"

…the sound of quarreling, from loud shouting at the beginning to so faint that it could not be heard at all later.

Robin, the head of NASA, sighed when he saw the security personnel restrain the noisy managers and forcibly send them outside. He said to the person next to him: "Dr. Rosen, I agree with you. What's important is that we successfully landed on the moon and were able to collect samples on the moon. As long as we can safely send these sample materials back to the mainland, and let NASA achieve a complete and safe manned lunar landing, this will be the greatest success."

Dr. Rosen, whose head is larger than that of an average person and who even has to wear specially made large glasses, affirmed in a slightly hoarse voice, "That's right, Mr. Robin. Science never deceives anyone. Success is success, and failure is failure. Although failure is the mother of success, failure can never be compared with success.

As long as we can obtain a sufficient amount of lunar sample materials, many of our technological challenges may be able to gain new inspiration and direction, and we may even catch up with the local technology companies in Daxia.

They should take time to read more historical stories of Daxia. In this mysterious country, there was once a monarch named "King Gou Jian of Yue". He endured the hardships and finally achieved what he wanted.

Of course, please remember your promise to us, at least 120 kg of lunar soil material, 50 kg of lunar rock material, and some special samples. I need to see them in my laboratory."

"Don't worry, Dr. Rosen, I won't forget my promise. I also know that you, like me, hope that manned lunar landing can become a repeatable scientific and technological mission, even like the Daxia Aerospace Group..."

While Robin was communicating with the legendary figure beside him, he couldn't help but think of the elder at home.

It was not until he took over the position of head of NASA that he learned that the elder in his family had already had an unclear relationship with Jiuzhou Technology, and even that the elder had lived on the moon for some time.

The three astronauts sent by NASA can only stay on the moon for no more than 12 hours, but the elder can enjoy the same living conditions on the moon as usual and does not have to worry about the "length of stay" at all.

Of course, Robin also knew some of his elder's ideas. If in the future this elder could use the relationship with Jiuzhou Technology to bring himself and other family members to the moon, or even live in the lunar city or where the elder lived, this would indeed be something worth looking forward to.

After all, the current security environment in the United States has been getting worse and worse because the economic downturn cannot be stopped.

He now doesn't dare to buy goods at large supermarkets in the city. He usually shops online and has the courier deliver the things he needs to his wealthy community. The packages will then be opened after security checks.

If he couldn't live on the moon, Robin planned to retire and take his family to live in Daxia for a while.

Those netizens who are still complaining about NASA in the live broadcast room don’t know that there are many senior personnel within NASA who actually don’t take this kind of "insult" seriously.

Egoists all have their own interests.
