Chapter 458 NASA's killer feature
No one spoke in the conference room, and no one knew how to answer Director William.

Finally, after a while, the same Rui Jackson broke the silence.

"Director, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find a way to break the situation, and we are not 100% sure that we will be able to land on the moon again before Yan Kingdom..."

"The merger of the Phoenix Group and the Aerospace Group will undoubtedly improve their ability to 'land a man on the moon'."

"The Phoenix Group has a technical reserve of high-thrust rockets, and the Aerospace Group has a technical reserve for multiple 'flights around the moon' in the early stage. They can even directly carry out the last step of 'manned moon landing'!"

"Now, we may have to consider the worst-case scenario..."

The voice fell, and there were low and chaotic discussions on the scene. Everyone realized that the situation facing NASA is indeed not optimistic.

After a while, a high-ranking white man sitting under the conference table—Jock, raised his hand and said:
"Director, is it possible to cut off the cooperation between Gou Dahu and Phoenix Group?"

"Most of the funds for the 'manned moon landing' of the Phoenix Group come from big dogs. If we can get Washington to put pressure on the big dogs and cut off the source of funds for the Phoenix Group, they should be able to delay their progress on the moon."

William's eyes narrowed slightly, but then dimmed again.

"Jock, have you forgotten our 'Artemis Project'?"

Project Artemis?
A few seconds later, the senior white man suddenly realized, and then his expression became bitter, and he put his hand down resentfully.

The "Artemis Project" is a return to the moon plan developed by NASA six years ago in response to Yan Kingdom's "manned moon landing".

After proposing this plan, NASA invited several national space agencies including Great Britain, Australia, Maple Leaf Country, Italy, Neon Country, and Luxembourg to join.

Needless to say, Great Britain, Australia, and the Maple Leaf Country, the traditional allies of North America are all Anglo-Saxons.

Needless to say, neon and South Korea, the only thing worth mentioning is Luxembourg.

Luxembourg is an important aerospace city, and its aerospace strength should not be underestimated, which can be regarded as a technology occupation.

At that time, the big dog family also applied to join the "Artemis Project", thinking of clinging to NASA's father's thigh to gain some prestige, so as to consolidate the leadership position among the "princes and kingdoms".

But how can wool in North America be so easy to squeeze?
Although the big dog promised to provide funds, in the end, North America chose to support the same princely country-"UAE" to join the "Artemis Project" for the sake of balance or to beat the big dog.

Big dogs are rich, and the UAE is also rich!
Therefore, after the big dog was rejected, he got very unhappy with NASA.

Under such a background, it is obviously impossible to threaten Gou Dahu to terminate the cooperation with Phoenix Group.

And the most important thing is that now North America does not dare to push the big dog too hard and completely push it to Yan Country.

At this moment, Rui Jackson also said:

"In addition to the unhappiness caused by the 'Artemis Project', according to the information provided by the 'Federal Security Agency', the funds for the second phase of the cooperation between Gou Dahu and the Phoenix Group have been transferred to the Phoenix Group!"

"It's too late for us to stop it now."

After saying this, Rui was silent for a long time.

In the end, his expression became a little struggling. He looked at William and said with difficulty:

"Director, our current situation is somewhat passive."

"We can no longer imagine that we can prevent the Phoenix Group from successfully 'manned landing on the moon', and we can no longer hope that we can return to the moon one step ahead of the Phoenix Group."

"What we have to do now is to seriously consider how we should safeguard our interests on the moon once Yanguo's 'manned moon landing' succeeds."

The voice fell, and the conference room fell into complete silence.

Rui showed the real and bloody status quo in front of everyone, and everyone felt deeply depressed.

Director William, who was sitting above, still pursed his lips and his face was tense.

But in the next second, his eyebrows twitched a few times, and the dignified expression he had maintained the whole time suddenly "collapsed".

Although he didn't say a word, at this moment, everyone present raised their heads in surprise, and they could clearly feel the huge emotional fluctuations of Director William.

The pride in my heart seems to be a little vented? !
"Director..." Rui Jackson yelled to William worriedly.

William shook his head, preventing Ruy from continuing.

He was fine, but the cruel reality that suddenly appeared in front of him made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

He didn't expect that in just a few months, after a series of changes, the Phoenix Group could push NASA into such a situation!

Although NASA's plan to return to the moon did not go smoothly in the past, it still has a psychological advantage when facing Yanguo Aerospace. After all, it is relatively clear about the strength of Yanguo Aerospace.

but now.

The appearance of the Phoenix Group completely broke this situation!
The Phoenix Group is really likely to break the absolute dominance that NASA has accumulated in the aerospace industry for decades, and return to the moon one step ahead of NASA!
"Rui, I'm fine. I won't give up so easily. The Phoenix Group can't beat me!"

"Go on, what is your plan? Do you have any good plans to protect our interests on the moon."

Rui exhaled lightly, and then said:
"As we all know, the moon is a planet with extremely rich mineral resources. The moon has almost all the types of minerals on the earth!"

"In addition to the rare resources that we have clearly proven, helium-3 for nuclear fusion, there are still a large number of elements and mineral resources on the moon that we don't know the composition of."

"so……"

"First, in order to prevent the Yan Kingdom from gaining a large amount of lunar minerals and seize the opportunity, we must clearly state that the moon is the common property of mankind. No country or company can develop it privately. It must sign a joint development agreement before it can be developed."

William thought for a moment, then nodded.

Although in 2015, the North American Congress unilaterally legislated to allow private companies in North America to develop space and mine resources on the moon and asteroids.

but.

The situation is different now, and the Phoenix Group is very likely to land on the moon before NASA.

Once landing on the moon, the next step is definitely to obtain lunar mineral resources.

Although the current technology cannot support large-scale mining on the moon and transport it back to Earth, it is necessary to limit the activities of the Yan Kingdom on the moon and give NASA enough time to revisit the moon.

As for how to mine lunar minerals after NASA lands on the moon in the future?
joke.

North America wants to mine, who dares to disagree?
"Rui, go ahead."

"it is good!"

"The second point is about the territorial sovereignty of the moon."

"It's still the same situation as the 'moon mining rights'. We must use the treaty to stop the Phoenix Group and the Yan Kingdom."

"The territory of the moon is the common property of all mankind and does not belong to any country or individual!"

"Only in this way can we prevent Yan Kingdom from arbitrarily enclosing and occupying land on the moon after landing on the moon first!"

William nodded again in approval.

"Well, good point, what about the third point?"

"The third point is that all countries that land on the moon must protect the landing site of our 'Apollo spacecraft'."

"For this reason, we must demand that all countries are not allowed to land within 50 nautical miles of the 'Apollo Landing Site', and no individual from any country is allowed to enter without our permission!"

"Because there are the remains of our North American landing on the moon, and it is a place that mankind should protect together!"

After saying this, everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and the dull atmosphere in the meeting room was also brought to a turn for the better.

Even Chief William's face finally regained a trace of expression.

"In addition, we need to bring these contents to the UN General Assembly and write them into a treaty, 'inviting' all countries to sign the treaty!"

"I believe that most countries will not be able to land on the moon, and they will definitely support our plan. After all, no country wants to see other countries get rich, especially this country is Yan Country!"

"As for the Yan Kingdom... no one will stand with them. Under international pressure, they will definitely sign!"

"And once the Yan Kingdom joins the treaty led by us, with their consistent diplomatic policy, they will definitely abide by it!"

"At that time, everything will be under our control!"

hiss--!
Everyone present looked at me and I looked at you. After a brief silence, sporadic applause suddenly broke out.

After a few seconds, the applause finally gathered together and resounded throughout the conference room.

It has to be said that this plan has indeed thoroughly studied the Yan Kingdom.

Rui Jackson finally had a smile on his face.

When the applause dwindled, Rui looked at William, took a breath and said:
"Director, in addition to restricting the Phoenix Group through a treaty, our own 'return to the moon' lunar landing plan must also be stepped up!"

"As you know, the biggest problem with our 'return to the moon' plan right now is the problem with the rocket engine..."

"I have an idea. Maoxiong is really good in the field of rocket engines. Their RD-170 series rocket engines are more powerful and stable than the ones currently used on our SLS rockets."

"Do you think you want to talk to Maoxiong Space Agency and buy their latest RD-170 rocket engine?"

Chief William frowned suddenly.

He didn't answer in a hurry, but shook his head after thinking for a long time.

"We can't let Mao Xiongguo participate until the last time."

"What's more, if you want to buy their rocket engines at this critical time, you can imagine how much they will pay!"

"They're not good people, they're vampires."

Rui pursed his lips and did not refute.

indeed.

Now everyone knows that NASA and the Phoenix Group are competing for the progress of landing on the moon. If this timing is not serious, I will be sorry for myself.

After a while, Director William breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled for the first time on his face.

"Rui, take a moment to buy the Mao Xiongguo rocket engine. It's better to give the SLS rocket a little more time. We can't take this step unless it is absolutely necessary."

"However... the matter of the International Space Station must be resolved as soon as possible. We cannot lack the International Space Station, a strategic fulcrum in outer space!"

"It's just a matter of using the cooperation on the International Space Station to explore the attitude of Maoxiong Space Agency - about the matter we just proposed for the 'moon development' treaty against Yan Kingdom."

To test the bear?

Rui was slightly surprised.

"Director, Mao Xiongguo and Yanguo have such a good relationship now, they should stand with Yanguo."

A smile suddenly appeared on William's face, and then he shook his head.

"Not necessarily, you don't know Mao Xiong."

"They don't have the ability to go to the moon now, believe me, they definitely don't want Yan Kingdom to go to the moon to gain major benefits!"

"In this world, how can there be any eternal friends? Yes, there are only eternal interests!"
