"Mr. President is very angry!"

"He is about to regret his re-election now. The bad things happened one after another. Returning to the moon was his most brilliant achievement in his second term, but now you have made it like this!"

"If it weren't for us to stop, Jim, you've got the news of your dismissal from Twitter now!"

Knowing Wang’s confidant, Kuna, pointed at the director of the space agency Jim through the screen, and said solemnly.

Director Jim opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

admit.

It's still a video conference, or the three agencies of the Lunar Grand Prix, the Meriken Space Agency and the President's Office, and the same three principals.

The difference is that the number of people on Meriken Space Agency's side has decreased significantly, and the number of scientists and engineers sitting behind last time has been reduced by half.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Kuna said again: "Don't you know such a big rocket? You don't even know their information. How did your last proposal come up?"

"Look into my eyes and tell me!"

The people on the big competition shrugged directly when they heard this, and the meaning was obvious. They were just a prize-giving aerospace technology.

The director of the space agency wiped the sweat from the air-conditioning with a handkerchief and said: "Well, Mr. Kuna, you need to ask private space companies or even intelligence agencies for this kind of question."

"Although our space agency can discover the secrets of distant stars, we really can't see the secrets of other people's factories."

"..."

"Sheet!"

Kuna cursed secretly, and then said with a serious face: "I will definitely let the intelligence personnel handle this, but the first thing we have to do now is to calm the turmoil. Do you have a good way?"

"..."

When asked about this, both sides were silent.

Here again?

Although this matter was originally related to aerospace, it is no longer just a matter in the aerospace field. They are really helpless, they can only come out to explain and make another statement.

But the above will certainly not allow Tianxia's company to become the main contractor of Merrican's moon landing plan, or even sub-contractors, so we can only issue a similar statement.

This is equivalent to sticking out your face and looking for a second hit.

But if the new statement indicates that the other party can participate in the contract bidding, even if it is temporarily agreed, it proves that they did have a conspiracy before and had a black box operation.

This is also a face slap.

Can't fight anymore!

If you want to fight, you can't just fight yourself!

no way!

The director of the aerospace industry, Jim, entangled for a moment, and stopped asking the opinions of the scientists. He rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea.

"Mr. Kunar, I think it's time to gather those space company bosses together for a meeting. After all, they are vested interests this time. The moon landing contract will eventually be given to them. It's time for them to contribute."

After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what it was, he wanted to pull others in first.

With more people, the chances of this Mr. President’s confidant paying attention to him will be much smaller, whether it is to give an idea or block a gun.

Now he and the director of the Grand Prix are two people, but the director of the Grand Prix is ​​a waste, Kuna can only find him.

And here is Meriken, there is no reason for government agencies to come forward to solve problems for private companies!

After signing the contract, it was the big private space companies that made big money, and they should be allowed to contribute to this kind of thing.

How could the government's moon landing contract be so easy to sign.

The meeting ended hurriedly without discussing anything useful, but Kuna felt that a solution would be found next time.

After going offline, he did not wait, but directly contacted the bosses of those companies, and everyone had an online meeting.

No offline meetings.

First, there is not enough time. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible and cannot wait.

The second is to avoid being discovered by the media that the bosses of several major aerospace companies have gathered in the capital and brainstorming conspiracy theories.

Although what happened to them this time is really shameful.

Also, he found the director of the intelligence department and gave them a task.

The space agency can't look inside the plant, but the intelligence department can.

This is not the first time that official power has been used against Tianxia's private company.

……………………

On the other side of the earth, the Interstellar Pilot Company in Jiangkou City.

Although the temperature in Eguchi in December did not reach below zero, it was still very cold.

Jiangkou City is located at the estuary of the Yangtze River, and a piece of it protrudes into the sea as a whole. In Tianxia, ​​the geographical position is neither north nor south nor south.

The rain is so humid, the sky is cloudy, and there is no cold wind from the north, but there are demon winds that urge you to life.

But under such circumstances, even if it is close to ten o'clock in the evening on the construction site of Navigator Company, or Navigator Company, it is still brightly lit, and a large number of construction workers and machinery are working.

This is why Tang Chao's "Kanxing Moon Landing Team" was able to assemble the "Chuohang" rocket in its own factory.

"Infrastructure madman" is easy to say, but in fact it is so desperately driven out.

If you want to get anything, you can only work hard by yourself.

If you don't work hard, others won't give you alms.

Tang Chao had money himself, and of course he would not treat these builders badly. Because of their own regulations, Tang Chao could not give money directly, so he offered other benefits.

For example, in addition to normal meals, Tang Chao asked Chen Jing to give them extra meals, including meat, eggs, milk, and fruits to ensure nutrition.

They also provided additional heating equipment in their temporary board room dormitory, and paid for the electricity bills to ensure their heating in the cold weather with the demon wind.

But today's protagonist is not these builders, but Tang Chao and Zhao Li, and their trade this time.

Twelve YF130 rocket engines with 480 tons thrust, two YF90 rocket engines with 220 tons, and four YF79 rocket engines with 25 tons.

This is the basic engine configuration and quantity required for a Long March 9 rocket.

This is the question discussed at the last National Space Conference: Let private space companies participate in the Long March 9 mission.

According to different situations, it is divided into core orders and edge orders, and the engine order obtained by StarPilot is the engine order.

Of course, this is actually a cover, and this order is also a black-box operation.

After all the technology of Long March 9 was traded above, the rocket engine soon began to be manufactured in related production units, and the time could catch up with the first flight. However, in order to cover up deeper transactions, this thing was used as a cover. .

Since the sudden emergence of the Long March 9th, espionage activities by various countries in Tianxia have increased, and Tianxia can only perform "normal" operations while purging it.

Anyway, these engines will not be broken after they are bought, and will soon be used on the second and third rockets.

The real deal this time is the top semiconductor technology.

Here includes the whole industry technology, there are brand-new chip frame design technology, there are also the physical key parts of the top lithography machine.

Anyway, with these things, if the other side wields the chip stick again, the country can decouple from them without hesitation and no longer buy any of their chips.

These things were obtained by Tang Chao from Kan Xing. Kan Xing's technological level is slightly stronger than that of the earth, so all these technologies are available.

Although Kanxing Space Center used these items to buy them, they had to abide by the contract, but they were at his disposal when they were shipped to the earth.

Asking his subordinates to stare at these things and pack them away in the shortest time, Zhao Li invited Tang Chao to the side.

"Tang Chao, you have to be careful recently. Based on our past experience, you may have to confront the intelligence agency of Meriken."

Tang Chao saw that Zhao Li was so serious, but the content was only experience, not exact information, so he frowned and asked: "What? Didn't you get specific information?"

"Yes," Zhao Li nodded, "because we have experienced similar incidents several times, we analyzed the current situation and found many similarities, so we came to this conjecture."

"For specific information, we can get it before they formally act."

"rest assured."
