Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2492 Contradictions
Through the Moon City Plan, many special enterprises and institutions rely on the Daxia Aerospace Group as a channel and use the round-trip freight service of the Moon-Chasing Starship to control the cost of "Moon Express" to an outrageous range.

Once upon a time, the United States hoped to rely on the Artemis Accords to cooperate with 28 countries to establish a mechanism for distributing rights and interests in the development of lunar resources. However, now, the Daxia government is quietly expanding the scope of available projects on the moon through a cooperation agreement with Jiuzhou Technology.

At the beginning, the official scientists of Daxia were still excited about the more diverse lunar soil and lunar rock specimens. Now, ordinary lunar rocks and lunar soil can no longer "stimulate" the keen nerves of these cutting-edge scientists. They are now thinking more about how to pass the "physical examination" and training and go to the laboratory in the Moon City to conduct experiments themselves.

During this period, the middle-aged and elderly academicians of the Xia Institute of Science and Technology have some common catchphrases.

"Let us go! I'm only sixty-five, which is the age when I should be fighting hard!"

"Jiuzhou Technology can send engineers in their forties to the moon. How can we, who are in our fifties, be so far behind? And they have safely returned and returned so many times. What else do you want?"

"Ah, I'm so old now, what haven't I seen? My brain doesn't work as fast as young people now. If I go to the moon, even if something goes wrong and I die on the moon, it will be a worthy death."

"Our project has been stuck at this level for so many years because we don't have the spirit to forge ahead! I can lead the team, take those young people, to the lunar laboratory!"

"We can get some lunar soil materials by doing experiments on the ground, but the most important thing in scientific research is inspiration! If we can live in the low-gravity environment of the moon, who knows, one day we might get a flash of inspiration and solve the problem!"

People in their fifties and sixties are the best age to fight. Because of the existence of Taoyao and other supplements, many academicians around seventy years old also feel that they are in good physical condition and they sign up enthusiastically, wanting to land on the moon.

It just so happens that these people have too many “disciples”, and they make trouble here and beg for favors there.

Even some academicians would say during breaks in university classrooms: "I hope that the students here can exercise more and stay strong, so that they can have the perseverance to do scientific research. Otherwise, if your health is too poor in the future, you will not be able to participate in some scientific research projects even if you want to."

I haven’t even reached retirement age yet, so I’m not allowed to do those scientific research projects, alas…”

After sighing, he opened the teacup skillfully, took a sip of tea, and sighed with an expression.

However, this is not the fault of the Daxia officials. There are also some older engineers and scientists within the Daxia Aerospace Group who want to land on the moon. The Daxia Aerospace Group even submitted a list of these people to Jiuzhou Xinghai Company.

However, after screening by Xinghai Company, all engineers and young scientists who were actually over 45 years old were refused to be included in the moon landing list.

There were even some engineers who had just turned 45 and were informed that they were not allowed to land on the moon after their physical examinations.

In other words, they are all unable to land on the moon for the time being.

This rule was set by Gu Qing himself. For engineers and scientists within Jiuzhou Technology who actively participated in the Pioneer Program, as long as their physical data was qualified and they were under 50 years old, they had the possibility of being selected into the list.

That's because these engineers and scientists, on the basis of their own willingness and the knowledge and support of their relatives and friends, have to undergo special training and take special supplements at Jiuzhou Xinghai Company. It can be said that the physical health of these people is better than that of many young and middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.

They have a high ability to resist risks and are in good physical condition, so if any problems arise on the moon, the risks can be controlled.

However, no matter how active these "old men" from the Daxia officialdom are on the ground of Blue Star, and no matter how decisive their words are, Gu Qing is very clear that if these people really encounter some problems in the Moon City, his own communication line may be "harassed".

If you can't afford to offend, just don't offend.

NASA of the United States obtained a considerable amount of lunar soil and lunar rock, but these three NASA astronauts and NASA scientists and engineers did not know that these lunar samples they collected had been screened several times by Jiuzhou Xinghai Company and Daxia's official team of scientists, and the remaining materials were then placed in this area that had been explored but no useful minerals were found.

Therefore, no matter how many advanced equipment NASA scientists use, they can only obtain information based on ordinary lunar soil.

Although it is "excellent", the degree of excellence is average.

There is no help at all for some urgent topics that need to be solved.

So, various voices gradually emerged within NASA.

Some people think that after all the hard work and spending so much money, the results of the moon landing are completely useless, and it would be better to use these funds on experimental projects, and maybe they would have overcome the difficulties by now.

Some people also believe that the moon landing has been completed, and some useful minerals cannot be found with the current top equipment, so it is better to turn our attention to Mars and let NASA become the first scientific and technological organization to land humans on Mars, making America truly great again!
At the same time, many people believe that the distribution of lunar minerals is not uniform. Now that we have the successful experience of the moon landing, we should learn from Jiuzhou Technology Company, repeat the moon landing, and mine and collect specimens in more areas.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain where the technologies and materials that Jiuzhou Technology used in mechas came from.

Amid the quarrel, Uncle Sam of the United States, seeing that he had done very well in the mid-term elections and should be sure to win the election in two years, kept his promise. At NASA's senior meetings, he said more than once: "I am very optimistic about the development of the space industry. Landing on the moon will not be the only one. Jiuzhou Technology can land on the moon at a high frequency, and we must also land on the moon at a high frequency. They build a lunar city, and we must also build a lunar city!

Don’t worry about my attention and support for the aerospace industry. I am your strongest backing!
Of course, the moon landing is ongoing, and we have to do the Mars landing simultaneously..."

Drawing cakes and giving money, this Uncle Sam is better than his predecessors in that he has a strong ability to take action and rarely goes back on his words.

NASA is indeed not short of funds, and its partner companies such as Rosen Technologies and SpaceX have not encountered any payment arrears.
