Chapter 468 Discovery of Lunar Solid Water
Hearing this, Hu Lai frowned, he could basically hear the differences between the two sides.

On the one hand, officials dominated by the Ministry of Commerce are more inclined to use more favorable conditions to continue to win over other NASAs, which is dovish.

Other officials believe that other national space agencies have turned their heads to North America, and the reason for this is largely because they lack fear of the Yan Kingdom.

If you are afraid of the threat from North America, then you are not afraid of Yan Kingdom?This is treating Yan Guo as a soft persimmon!
and so.

Many officials believe that it is useless to continue to show goodwill, and they should be tougher now, and the use of reciprocal countermeasures will also make the breaching space agency feel the pressure from Yan Guo.

Only by truly establishing the image of Yan as a big country and a tough attitude, these countries will really consider the revenge brought by Yan when they encounter the same choice next time, instead of turning to North America easily!
Just like the tough Soviet Union back then, how many countries dare to blatantly offend the Soviet Union and fall to North America?

There was a lot of debate in the meeting room, and the arguments of both sides were deadlocked, and no one could convince the other.

Hu looked at it in his eyes, but he was also thinking about it in his heart.

how to say?

Both viewpoints have their own advantages and disadvantages. From the current point of view, I really don’t know which method will work better, and even say that there is no best answer in itself!
At this moment, seeing that the discussion of this meeting was deadlocked again, he suddenly received a text message on his mobile phone.

Clicking on it, it turned out that it was sent by Director Wang from the other end of the meeting.

"Mr. Hu, would you like to talk about your opinion?"

Hu Lai was slightly surprised, and then looked at Director Wang on the computer screen, just in time to see Director Wang looking at him through the camera.

Hu Lai couldn't help but smiled, and after thinking for two seconds, he replied:
"also."

Not long after the text message was sent, Director Wang, who presided over the meeting, took advantage of the gap between the discussions between the two parties to intervene.

"Sorry guys, let me interrupt."

He coughed lightly into the microphone and instantly focused everyone's attention on him.

"Today, President Hu Lai of our Phoenix Group also participated in this video conference. Since everyone can't reach a consensus for a while, we might as well listen to President Hu for any good suggestions."

"Mr. Hu, as the boss of Phoenix Group, is also the leading enterprise of the 'Manned Moon Landing' project. Maybe his opinion can give us new ideas."

Naturally, everyone present would not object to this. After the voice fell, everyone in the meeting room immediately looked at the electronic screen in the middle.

After a while, Hu Lai's video image appeared on the screen.

Hu Lai was not polite either, after a brief greeting, he sorted out his thoughts and said:
"Everyone, I have listened for so long just now, and I probably understand everyone's thoughts."

"Now everyone's differences are nothing more than what attitude and strategy we will adopt to respond to this matter-whether to continue to win over with better conditions, or to put pressure on them with a tough attitude."

"However... I have a little suggestion, why can't we jump out of the inherent thinking and use another way to solve this matter?"

Another way to go about this?
Hu Lai's statement immediately attracted everyone's attention, and needles could be heard in the meeting room.

Hu Lai went on to say:

"The problem we are facing now is that North America uses diplomatic coercion to get other space agencies to terminate their cooperation with us. No matter how we respond next, we will actually be passively led by North America, and we will have to pay an excessive price."

"Instead of this, why should we respond to North America's small actions? Whether it's diplomatic coercion from North America, or the termination of cooperation with other space agencies, let them do whatever they want!"

"What we have to do is follow our own pace, return to the 'manned moon landing' plan of this matter itself, and develop the moon step by step!"

"Our previous 'Moon Joint Development Program' has already shown our attitude, wait for us to land on the moon, build our 'lunar space base' on the moon, and even transport minerals back from the moon."

"At that time, did those space agencies who originally hoped to cooperate with us really not panic? Didn't they blame North America?"

"I don't think so!"

After saying this, there was a rustling discussion in the conference room.

It can be said that Hu Lai's idea does not have so many diplomatic and political considerations. It is completely about returning to technology itself and crushing everything with the leading technology!
There is a saying that goes well, a dog returns when hungry, and the most important thing is profit.

Once the Phoenix Group has gained huge benefits in the matter of landing on the moon, let alone the diplomatic threat from North America, I am afraid that the threat of force will not be able to prevent several Western countries from cooperating with the Phoenix Group.

With enough benefits, other countries will become the licking dogs of the Phoenix Group, begging to cooperate with the Phoenix Group!
"Mr. Hu, I agree with your plan, but what you said is returning to technology...As far as I know, NASA has received a special appropriation of 2000 billion US dollars from the Washington Congress, and they will undoubtedly give us 'manned moon landing ' pose a great threat."

After a few minutes of discussion, the former Commerce Department official stood up and spoke his mind.

Hu Lai smiled slightly.

"Do you think NASA can catch up with our progress with a $2000 billion budget?"

"It's just a dream!"

The sudden words made everyone present stunned, all stunned.

Good guy, this tone is too crazy!
Although everyone agrees that the Phoenix Group is really awesome, how can you say that NASA's foundation for decades is still there!
They were able to manufacture the "Saturn V" to land on the moon 60 years ago. If the budget is sufficient and the strength of the whole country is gathered, it may not be impossible to restore glory!

But at this moment, just when everyone was expecting Hu Lai to continue talking, the door of Hu Lai's office was suddenly opened, and Director Zhang hurried in.

Lao Zhang apparently didn't notice that Hu Lai was in the video conference, and said excitedly as soon as he entered the door:

"Boss, great news!"

"Our 'Chang'e-[-]' probe found water on the moon!"

"No, to be precise, solid water was discovered at the south pole of the moon!"

Hu Lai had no time to turn off the microphone, and Director Zhang's voice was unreservedly transmitted to the video conference through the microphone.

Two seconds later, everyone at the scene was stunned on the spot, all of them were amazed!
what!
Did the Phoenix Group discover solid water at the South Pole of the Moon? !

A few seconds later, the meeting room exploded. Although everyone present was not an aerospace professional, everyone knew what it meant to find solid water on the moon!
You know, water is the source of life. If human beings want to develop the moon in the future and want people to stay on the moon for a long time, then water must be the most important strategic resource.

If the cost of just transporting water from the earth is too high, the water source problem of one or ten astronauts can be solved by gnashing their teeth, but how to solve the water resources of 1000 people and 1 people after a large-scale moon landing?

Is it all brought up by the earth?Obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, once collectable solid water is found on the moon, it is definitely a historic and important step for humans to stay on the moon for a long time!
of course.

It is not that no scientists have discovered the existence of water on the surface of the moon before. For example, the lunar probes in North America have discovered a large amount of ice water in the lunar soil at the south pole of the moon. the presence of water.

However, the water in these lunar soils is not water in the traditional sense, but water molecules or hydroxyl groups in lunar soils and lunar rocks, which need to be extracted to obtain.

And now, "Chang'e [-]" discovered solid water on the moon for the first time, which is tantamount to completely solving the problem of the moon's water source!
However, before everyone at the scene recovered from the shock, Director Wang cut off the video connection signal with Hu Lai in time. After all, everyone could hear it. Phoenix Group's business secrets.

After a while, perhaps out of professional sensitivity, Director Wang immediately connected the important discovery of "discovery of solid water" with the ongoing meeting in front of him.

In fact, Hu said the best response at this stage is to return to the "manned moon landing" technology itself, and he quite agrees.

And now the "discovery of solid water" on the moon, doesn't it perfectly fit the ideas and plans put forward by Hu Lai?

I don't care what little tricks you make in North America.

We will not force other countries to suspend cooperation and withdraw from the "Moon Joint Development Alliance", but we will show the world our "manned moon landing" and how we develop the moon step by step!
Thinking of this, Director Wang looked at the crowd calmly, and said slowly:

"Everyone, I don't need to remind you, everyone knows that this matter is of great significance!"

"Before this matter is approved, everyone must remember the confidentiality regulations and cannot disclose this matter to the outside world!"

"Besides, although Mr. Hu Laihu has something to leave now, everyone has heard his opinions. Let's talk about your opinions..."

Hu Lai's departure did not end the meeting. After Director Wang quickly took control of the situation, the conference room began to discuss the feasibility of "returning to technology itself" proposed by Hu Lai.

And the other side.

After Hu Lai saw the disconnection of the video connection, he also knew that it was Director Wang's attempt to protect the commercial privacy of the Phoenix Group.

At this time, his mind was completely out of the meeting, and he looked at Director Zhang with excitement.

"Old Zhang, let's go, take me to the aerospace department now, I want to see the latest situation for myself..."

Soon, the two came to the aerospace department of the Phoenix Group.

At this time, the news that "Chang'e-[-]" found solid water on the moon is still highly confidential. Except for the technical personnel in charge of the "Chang'e-[-]" project team and the senior leaders of the aerospace department, no one else knows about it.

When Hu Lai came to the office area in charge of the "Chang'e [-]" project team, he could suddenly feel the warm atmosphere in the air of the project team, and the expressions of all the staff were completely different from before.

Even though they didn't speak to each other, the excitement and excitement could be felt from the expressions on their faces.

Hu Lai was also faintly excited. When he walked into the observation and command center of the "Chang'e [-]" project team, Ouyang, the general manager of the aerospace department, had already arrived ahead of schedule.

"Boss, you are here."

When the white-haired chief teacher Ouyang saw Hu Lai and director Zhang coming, he couldn't hide his smile at all.

Seeing this, Hu Lai's face was also full of smiles, and he walked quickly to Master Ouyang without hesitation, and said in a hurry:

"Master Ouyang, let me tell you what's going on first."

Master Ouyang naturally knew what Hu Lai meant, and immediately led Hu Lai to a black and white computer screen, and said in a low voice:
"Boss, this time our 'Chang'e-[-]' landed on the south pole of the moon for the first time."

"We have detected a large amount of water in the lunar soil at the south pole of the moon before. This time, the main mission of 'Chang'e-[-]' is to explore whether there is solid water that exists directly in the physical sense instead of water molecules."

"According to our research, there are a large number of craters at the south pole of the moon. Some of these craters were formed by the impact of asteroids, and some were formed by the impact of comets. Regardless of comets or asteroids, most celestial bodies contain a lot of water resources."

"In addition, there is no air on the moon, and the strong impact force will cause the comet to drill directly under the surface of the moon. In this way, it is very likely that the water resources carried by comets and asteroids have not been completely evaporated, leaving part of the water on the moon. in the soil."

"So this time our 'Chang'e-60' focused on the crater. Unexpectedly, we found suspected solid water in a crater with a diameter of about 3.9 kilometers and a depth of about [-] kilometers."

After saying this, Chief Ouyang pointed to the black and white screen on the computer in front of him and continued:

"This is the picture taken by the flying vehicle on our 'Chang'e [-]', but because of the shooting equipment and network signal, the picture is not very clear."

Hu Lai tried his best to look at the screen. Although he couldn't tell whether it was solid water on the black and white screen, since Master Ouyang had personally confirmed this, there was no doubt that there would be no problem.

He was determined in his heart, and an excited look appeared on his face.

But at this moment, Master Ouyang's tone changed, and he said with some gratitude:
"This time we were really lucky. We found the suspected solid water when we entered the crater at a depth of less than 300 meters!"

Hu Lai nodded, but after a while, he suddenly remembered the "detection-type bionic robot" specially developed for the "Chang'e [-]".

Listening to the introduction of the chief teacher Ouyang, this time it is the picture taken by the leap vehicle carried on the "Chang'e [-]" probe. What about the bionic robot that has high hopes?
Thinking of this, he directly asked:

"Master Ouyang, what about the 'Lunar Exploration Bionic Robot' we specially designed?"

Master Ouyang froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Boss, this bionic robot did not meet our expectations."

"Perhaps the research and development time was too short, and we didn't take into account many details. We just went to the moon and worked for less than an hour before we completely fell asleep."

"I think we should have more scientific research on the application of bionic robots on the moon."

Hu Lai was a little surprised, but this matter is not the top priority at this time. After a moment of silence, he replied:

"Alright then, let's put aside the matter of bionic robots."

"Master Ouyang, now that we have discovered solid water, what's your next step?"

As the general manager of the entire "manned moon landing" project, Ouyang Hu Lai, of course, has more trust. After thinking for a while, the chief teacher said:

"From a scientific point of view, we should find a way to collect this solid water as soon as possible, and then transport it back to Earth for further analysis."

"After all, most of us are blank about the resources on the moon. The more we know about the moon, the better we can develop the moon in the future and grasp more initiative!"
