Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Last day of national holiday.

The silver-white cargo compartment finally entered the atmosphere for the third time, using air resistance for deceleration, and eventually successfully landed safely in the open space of the Jinling Space Launch Center.

This cargo compartment, which marks the crystallization of the Materials and Engineering Technology of the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, is essentially intact and can be reused with minor repairs, except for the loss of surface heat sink coating in the return section.

At the same time, and most importantly, the goods kept in the return compartment are intact.

Upon learning of the news, the atmosphere was almost as festive as it was at the Institute of Astronautics of the entire Jinling Institute of Higher Studies. The same is true of several other cooperative space units in the country, and the burdens on the heads of the project teams have finally fallen to the ground, and they are delighted.

Before the end of this seven-day vacation.

The Moon Orbit Construction Commission finally gave a gift to the people of the country in its own way.

This gift consists of 4.27 tons of moon ore, 50 kg of wheat, maize, potatoes, and some biological reagents and scientific specimens produced from the moon.

When I saw this precious gift, many of the old academics and experts of Aeronautical Science Group were in tears of excitement.

How many years?

It's been almost two generations since space engineering started.

They've never had such huge gains on the Moon —— or in outer space!

In the '70s, during the honeymoon of China-US relations, a sample of the moon rock brought to them by President Carter's security advisor gave them a treasure.

And that sample, it's only 1 g.

It wasn't until the 5th of July that China really mastered the technique of collecting ore samples from the Moon.

Only four years have elapsed since the 5th of July.

During these four years, the Chinese space industry, under the guidance of academics, has undergone almost a radical change. Especially after the establishment of the Moon Orbit Construction Committee, everything was like a dream.

In addition to those exhilarating scientific specimens and rare earth ores, another gift followed.

Just on the last day of the national holiday, at noon, the Presbyterian Office suddenly held a press conference announcing that, after high-level discussions and decisions, it had approved the official establishment of the "Guangcoln City Special Administrative Region”!

According to this document, which approved the establishment of the “Guangdong Special Administrative Region", a range of 50 kilometres near the lunar scientific examination station will be included in the public facilities development zone.

The so-called Public Utilities Development Zone is a new concept developed by the Moon Orbit Construction Commission, which is that any spacecraft deployed in the Zone that belongs to a Chinese citizen or organization is governed by Chinese law and is protected by Chinese law.

In addition, the Chinese State will plan to send 2,000 immigrants to Guangdong District in six shipments within three years, as well as to build larger and more reliable life-support facilities near Lunar Research Station.

Immediately after the news came out, there was a huge wave around the world.

People were surprised by the ambitions displayed by the Chinese people on space issues and their terrible implementation.

Send 2,000 immigrants to the moon?

Is this a plan to build a colony on the moon?!

A lot of people panicked after hearing the news.

Twitter on.

“I bet it won't be long before they draw the moon into the map! ”

“The Chinese are occupying the Moon! Can't the White House do something? ”

“They can't do that! The moon belongs to everyone! ”

“Wait a minute! I mean... would this be a hoax? I bet they don't have the ability to send 2,000 immigrants to the moon at all, they just want to drag us into this race and drag our economy down! ”

“This situation exists, provided that the exploitation of the resources of the Moon is not profitable. But this is obviously not the case now, if you look at the futures market, you will find that the prices of all the mineral varieties that appear on the cargo manifest of Huanqiao 3 are starting to get a little tight...”

“We can send the Mexicans up there. ”

The water in the river is not cold, and the ducks swimming in the river are the first to know. The reaction of capital markets, while not representative of changes in the economic situation, can largely accurately reflect market expectations of future conditions.

Qiaoqiao 3 carries more than one cargo compartment, and China cannot have only three Qiaoqiao in the future. With the completion of the Moon Quality Accelerator, the establishment of Guangcoln Administrative District, and the next phase of the development of the Moon's resources, the impact on the rare earth market will be overwhelming.

Of course, even more frightening to Americans is the fact that the Chinese nation has come to the forefront of that “new continent” that they originally viewed as the back garden.

Oh, shit!

These things belong to them!

However, those insignificant protests have not had any impact on the plan, let alone the determination of the Chinese State to explore and develop the outer space sphere.

At the same time, China's high-ranking actions have not stopped.

A public enterprise called "Guangcoln City Urban Development Co., Ltd." was soon established and raised 50 billion funds on the Shanghai Stock Exchange through IPO, Targeted Share Increase, and issued corporate bonds with a total value of 50 billion and an annual yield of more than 7%.

In a sense, this is a publicly offered benefit.

With the huge titanium ore and rare earth reserves already discovered on the Moon, even if the yield of this “Guangcoln City Urban Development Co., Ltd." is not comparable to that of profit-oriented East Asian electricity, the potential for future development is not weak.

It's not just the social security funds that these big households bought, it's even Star Sky Technologies that bought some extra money.

The financial circle even came up with the phrase, which was basically earned as long as the waving sign was bought. Even if you don't buy shares in Guangdong City, corporate bonds with a 7% annual yield are pretty good, which is almost double the interest on time deposits.

In contrast to the growing enthusiasm of the domestic public for space exploration, the international public opinion environment is quite the opposite.

Most Western countries, led by the United States, show anxiety and anxiety on this issue, as if they didn't buy tickets, watching people in first class. An enviable look.

And by the way, they're not sure what to say.

After all, China actually plays a word game here.

This statement on the establishment of the Guangdong Special Administrative Region does not address the land on the Moon, but only those spacecraft and fixtures deployed on the Moon.

And what is a facility?

Planting units can be counted, lunar quality accelerators can be counted, even a tile or even a flag can be counted. Anyway, the final right of interpretation belongs to the Moon Orbit Construction Committee.

You want to protest?

No problem.

Let's find a way up first!

In the face of this “rogue” trick, there is really no good way for the others to do it.

Director Carson, who landed at Shangjing International Airport, obviously felt that visiting China at this point might be a little awkward for him on this trip.

However, it is not appropriate to temporarily withdraw the itinerary.

First, we don't have that much time to wait for him, and second, we let people pigeon overflow their enthusiasm. In order to be able to cooperate amicably in the future, he must seize this opportunity…

Thinking about it, Director Carson's heart somehow rose to a squeeze.

That was not the case 10 years ago.

No, not even five years ago, not five years ago...

Looking at the look on his boss's face, something seemed wrong, and the assistant standing next to him asked quietly.

“Sir?”

“Nothing,” converged the heavy expression on his face, Director Carson coughed softly and looked at the assistant standing next to him, "Come on, let's go meet the Chinese. ”

At the same time, he drew a cross in his heart.

I hope that a pleasant agreement can be reached this time.

At least, I hope it's not too embarrassing or disappointing...
