The technological empire begins with polymer materials

North America, Washington.

Musk has returned from Cape Canaveral Space Station, and the giant Poseidon rocket, after two days of orbiting and adjustments, is finally about to land.

Seeing the Poseidon orbiting the moon again and again, with its orbital altitude constantly decreasing, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed a little tense.

After all, the landing operation is extremely difficult, and the overall weight of the landing module exceeds 400 tons. In human history, there has never been such a large-scale lunar landing operation.

"here we go!"

"Enter landing attitude!"

"The engine is working fine!"

"The angular velocity is too high and is being automatically adjusted!"

"After adjustment, the landing module begins to make contact with the moon!"

Bang~

Finally, after a muffled sound, dust scattered on the moon, and the square landing module landed smoothly on the lunar surface. Waves of cheers rang out in the conference room, and people waved their fists vigorously and hugged heartily to celebrate this historic moment.

"Mr. Musk, reporters are waiting for you." The staff reminded Musk.

Musk nodded slightly. He did not rush to the press center. Instead, he washed his face in the bathroom and tidied up his appearance before walking onto the stage to face reporters from all walks of life.

Kakaka~

The flash made a noise, and Musk faced countless cameras, raising his head proudly and smiling.

"I would like to ask Mr. Musk, what is the significance of this lunar landing? Is it to compete for helium-3?" an Associated Press reporter first asked.

Musk smiled, "In a literal sense, the competition should be back-and-forth, with neither side giving in. However, as far as I know, Kunlun Technology does not have the ability to land on the moon on a large scale, so they did not compete with us. Qualifications to compete.”

Hahahaha~

"You're so right. You don't even have the qualifications. Why should you fight with us?"

"It's basically our unilateral occupation of the moon!"

"Long live Angsa! Long live the West!"

"The earth is ours, and so is the moon!"

As soon as Musk opened his mouth, there was a roar and a tsunami at the scene, and billions of Angsa people rejoiced. They sent out barrages one after another, making no secret of their greed for the moon and their disdain for the Kunlun Group.

"Mr. Musk, can you give us a detailed introduction to the landing module used this time? Due to confidentiality requirements, the official introduction is very vague." The question this time was from a brown-haired beauty from AFP.

Musk nodded, "As we all know, this is not the first time humans have explored the moon, but all previous exploration plans were temporary, just like we are a guest in someone else's house. When the time is up, we must leave."

"However, this time is different, completely different. We are not landing on the moon as guests, but becoming the owners of the moon. From now on, when we go to the moon, it will be like returning to our own home."

"Our Andes-1 landing module is designed and manufactured entirely in accordance with domestic standards. It can accommodate two to five astronauts for long-term survival, and has a powerful life support system and domestic waste treatment system..."

It has to be said that Musk is really a sophisticated businessman. He described the Andean landing module as his home on the moon, which quickly won countless favors and approvals. People have fantasized that one day they can travel to the moon, work and live on the moon. From there, you can see the earth and the endless starry sky.

"Mr. Musk, if Plateau proposes cooperation to develop the moon, would you accept it?" a third reporter asked.

"Are you a reporter from NHK?" Musk did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked the reporter with a beard with a smile.

"That's right." The moustachioed reporter nodded.

Musk curled his lips and said: "Sure enough, if I say I am willing to cooperate, I am afraid you will be the most disappointed."

"I remember that the last time I met Gao Yuan, he specifically talked about this issue. I won't go into the details here. I can only say that Gao Yuan's judgment of you is quite accurate. He has seen through you a long time ago."

"But as Boss Gao often says, everything has a price. Of course we can jointly develop the moon, but we have to pay more!"

Rumble~

The barrage immediately exploded, because Musk's words were exactly what Gao Yuan said to the West back then. Do you want Kunlun Group's black technology products?

Yes, but you have to pay extra!

Now Musk has returned this sentence to the plateau intact, letting out a strong sigh of relief for the vast number of melon-eating people in the West.

"You never expected that today would happen on the plateau!"

"If there is no helium-3, even mastering controllable fusion will be useless!"

"Yeah, in the end, you don't have to come to us and beg us."

"Long live the moon colonization!"

The barrage was overwhelming, and the melon-eating people in the West went completely crazy, while the Chinese people fell into silence. Over the past few years, they had become accustomed to ridiculing the West, and now they were turned against them by the other side. It felt quite awkward. At the same time, they were also worried about the plateau, for fear What happened to the energy freedom plan.

Phew~

Musk ended the press conference and breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the conference room.

He was greeted with thunderous applause. Even the people who hated him the most had to admit that instead of struggling with the plateau, Musk's desperate march to the moon would be more effective.

"Musk, were you kidding just now? Even if you are willing to pay more for things like moon development, you can't let them participate, right?" Sergey Brin asked.

Unexpectedly, Musk actually shook his head and said seriously: "I'm not joking. If Plateau is willing to transfer technology, we can develop resources on the moon together. In addition to helium-3, the reserves of titanium and iron on the moon are also amazing. An irresistible temptation.”

"Although Kunlun Group's materials science is very strong, composite materials and chemical materials cannot completely replace metal materials after all."

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was surprised. They never expected that Musk would actually consider accepting Gao Yuan.

"What are you doing? Why do you look like this?" Musk said, slightly startled.

…

China, the city in the sky.

"Boss, boss, I have your video call!" Chu Luoluo entered Gao Yuan's office with a panic look on his face.

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Calm down. We are the closest partners with the military and the national team. Is this the big boss looking for me?"

Gao Yuan's status is now different from what it used to be. There are often unspeakable boss-level figures who come to him to understand the situation. Gao Yuan thinks that Chu Luoluo has met a News Network level figure, that's why he is so panicked.

"Military? No, no, it's Musk. The sun is out in the west, and Musk actually wants to have a video call with his boss." Chu Luoluo explained quickly.

Musk?

Gao Yuan was suspicious. Although he and he had met in person, they were not familiar enough to make video calls. Under normal circumstances, even if communication was needed, the secretary would send an email, and video interviews were rare.

"Come in." Gao Yuan said.

Soon, Musk's handsome face appeared on the big screen in Gaoyuan's office.

"Hi, long time no see." Gao Yuan said.

"Long time no see my friend." Musk responded with a smile: "How are you doing lately?"

"Okay, okay, how about you? How are the kids?"

"They're both healthy."

The two chatted like old acquaintances, and in the end it was Musk who took the lead in bringing the chat to the point, telling Gao Yuan about the permission for lunar cooperation.

"Permission?" Gao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy with Musk's choice of words, but he remained polite on the surface and said: "The moon is not the private territory of North America. Isn't it too much to use the word permission?" ? Suppose we want to go to the moon, we can go there at any time without anyone else’s permission.”

Hahaha~

Musk laughed loudly, pointed at the plateau and said: "I haven't seen you for several years, but you are still so angry. You know, on the matter of the moon, if I hadn't fought against everyone else's opinions, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to cooperate. opportunity, and for this opportunity, I have offended many people."

"So, I want to buy something to thank you properly?" Gao Yuan asked.

Musk said: “That’s not necessary, but you have to know that helium-3 on the moon is mainly stored in the three largest ilmenite areas. Although there is also helium-3 in the lunar soil in other places, the mining value is not high. "

"According to our plan, the three largest ilmenite areas will be occupied by us within a month. Only cooperation can maximize our mutual interests."

What Musk said is very natural, and according to normal logic, it is indeed true. Kunlun Technology very much needs helium-3 on the moon, which forces Gao Yuan to cooperate with Ma Musk and give up some scientific and technological achievements in exchange for energy. free.

Musk said: "In the long run, this deal is quite cost-effective. The earth's entry into the era of energy freedom will be of great benefit to both of us. It will greatly explore the scientific research potential of the earth and accelerate the march of mankind on earth into space."

Raising his hand, Gao Yuan interrupted Musk.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Musk, you said that the entire earth will enter the era of energy freedom? Does that mean that your controllable fusion technology has also been successful?"

"Not yet, but we have successfully occupied the most abundant helium-III mineral on the moon." Musk said.

Gao Yuan nodded, shrugged and said, "So that's it. I'm very grateful to Mr. Musk for his kindness, but we'd better wait to talk about cooperation."

this…

Musk was shocked at the time, "Boss Gao, what do you mean? Don't you want helium-3?"

Gao Yuan hurriedly shook his head, "Where, of course helium-3 is needed, but you are only occupying the deposits now and have not really mined helium-3. Moreover, the problem of mineral transportation from the moon to the earth has still not been solved."

"It's too early to talk about cooperation now. It's still unclear who will win this competition. We will never give up easily until the end."

After saying that, Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head, and made a vigorous gesture, with the word dissatisfaction written on his face.

Hum~

Musk snorted coldly and said with a slightly gloomier face than before: "How do you say that sentence in Chinese? You won't die until you reach the Yellow River?"

"Unexpectedly, our landing module has successfully landed in the No. 1 ilmenite area, but you are still taking chances. The spy satellite discovered that your large rocket base deep in the Tarim Basin is working day and night. It should be In order to seize helium-3 resources?"

"It's a pity. If you cooperate now, you can still get a good price. After we occupy three or even more ilmenite deposits, the price will not be today's price."

"The winner hasn't been decided yet. No one should be happy too early." Gao Yuan said in a neither salty nor light tone.

This situation made Musk feel very humiliated, and he also felt that Gao Yuan was disrespectful.

As a result, the meeting broke up unhappily. Although Musk was very restrained, everyone could see that he was really fired up by Gao Yuan's few words, and there seemed to be two balls of heat burning in his pupils.

Pa~

The big screen turned off, Gao Yuan stretched, Chu Luoluo covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Boss, you are so bad. You have obviously decided to go to Jupiter to mine helium-3, but you still pretend to be competing with Musk on the moon. , In this way, Musk will definitely devote himself more firmly to the moon enclosure movement, but it is a pity that no matter how much land they enclosure, we have no intention of taking it."

Gao Yuan crossed his arms and said calmly: "Soldiers never tire of deceit. It will take several months for our nuclear-powered rocket to be completed. We can't let them idle during this period. We have to find something for them to do."

Asking for a monthly ticket!
