When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 705 Our Journey is to the Stars and the Sea

When Galaxy Technologies completed its lunar exploration mission, many astute individuals realized that China's aerospace system was bound to undergo changes.

We can't let a private enterprise be more powerful than the state-owned enterprise.

If that's the case, then who exactly is the national team?

Even the most radical people never imagined that the higher-ups would make such a radical decision.

A lava tube lunar base, where astronauts land on the moon and build a lunar base.

More importantly, we need to bring Galaxy Technology in and give them an advantage.

Some of the quick-witted reporters present even asked directly, "Academician Wang, is everything you've said true?"

Wang Dong glanced at the reporter and said, "Do you think I would lie in such a formal setting?"

The female reporter was immediately speechless.

"Academician Wang, we have never even achieved a manned lunar landing yet, so isn't it a bit too radical to prepare to build a lunar base?"

"It's all about human effort. If we don't dare to think this way, we probably won't be able to do it in our lifetime. Besides, I also believe that we already have the ability to do so."

"I would like to ask Mr. Wang, there are many rumors online that your company offers good salaries and benefits. Why are you unwilling to use the funds invested in aerospace to recruit more employees and provide them with better treatment?"

"This reporter, which platform are you from? I don't think there's much point in answering your question, but since you've asked it here, I'll give it a try. Modern space exploration is the result of the great discoveries of navigation in the past. If we don't do certain things, our descendants will have to make up for it at a much higher cost!"

"Currently, no country has any plans to build a lunar base. We are the first to propose it. Do we have any technological confidence in this?"

"That's natural. We have the courage to be pioneers, the confidence to overcome everything, and the belief in unity. Our journey is to the cosmos, and our future is destined to be glorious!"

Sitting on the stage, listening to the reporters below ask one question after another, Wang Donglai was extremely impatient.

In his previous life, he was a liberal arts student, but he also knew that journalism and Chinese language and literature were the most useless majors.

Science students can repeatedly apply repeatable experiences to produce a large number of stable products.

Liberal arts students, on the other hand, should play a role in shaping national consensus and guiding the positive development of social morality domestically, while internationally they should strive for the right to speak, create national self-confidence, and export their influence abroad.

However, not a single liberal arts student in China over the years has been able to do this.

On the contrary, they all take pride in the West.

In his previous life, he was of low status and had little information, so he was unaware of some deeper things.

However, this life is different. After gaining a higher perspective, I keenly realized the backwardness of the humanities.

This will inevitably lead to employment difficulties for liberal arts graduates and a reduction in government support.

Moreover, Wang Donglai also contributed to this effort.

That was the adjustment of university majors and disciplines promoted at Tangdu Jiaotong University, and most of the majors that were eliminated were in the humanities.

This trend gradually formed as Galaxy Technology grew stronger.

At least, that's the case in Tangdu City.

The reason is that Galaxy Technology offers such good salaries and benefits, and liberal arts students are not popular at Galaxy Technology, so many people are taking action.

After finally managing to answer the question, Wang Donglai stopped answering and handed the question over to the leaders of the aerospace system.

"This press conference is now concluded. The revised aerospace development strategy will be gradually disclosed on the aerospace official website. We welcome the support of all media friends!"

At this point, the press conference naturally came to an end.

Upon receiving such explosive news, the numerous reporters quickly packed their belongings and prepared to leave.

Such explosive news, once it is released, will surely cause a sensation across the entire internet.

The sooner they release it, the more traffic it will attract, and since traffic is their future, they naturally care about it a lot.

soon.

While netizens were still exploring the online world, a trending topic suddenly appeared.

"The space strategy development plan was actually adjusted because of one person!"

"Building a lunar base with lava tubes, constructing a lunar ground base, and having astronauts land on the moon for scientific research will gradually become a reality!"

"my country will build the world's first lunar base!"

"my country's space program is at the forefront of the world..."

After netizens clicked on these press releases and understood the situation, their emotions immediately became incredibly complex.

Pride, arrogance, worry, ridicule...

All these emotions combined made the entire internet seem strange.

Logically, the entire internet should be excited about this.

But that's not the case.

A large number of dissenting voices were seen in the comments section across the internet.

"Aren't your steps a little too big!"

"They've only just successfully launched one lunar probe, and they're already talking about building a lunar base? Isn't that like trying to run before you've even learned to walk?!"

"I am writing in my roommate's name to express my opposition to the changes to the aerospace strategic planning scheme."

"We've worked steadily and surely for so many years, and we've finally gotten to where we are now. And now you're telling me we need to be aggressive? That's ridiculous!"

"A lunar lander is a lunar lander, and a lunar base is a lunar base. There is a huge technological gap between these two approaches, and many technical challenges need to be solved!"

"While I am pleased to see the cooperation between Galaxy Technology and the two major aerospace groups, I am still somewhat skeptical of such an aggressive plan, because this is not the attitude one should have towards getting things done."

"Let's catch up with the Bald Eagle Federation first before building a lunar base!"

"Exactly! The Bald Eagle Federation sent astronauts to the moon so many years ago, but they still haven't established a lunar base and are proposing such a plan. We've only repeated our lunar exploration mission, yet we're making such a big fuss. It's too frivolous!"

"Hehe, this is the inherent weakness of the Chinese people: either extreme pride or extreme inferiority!"

"If it can develop steadily for ten years, I think there is still some possibility, but given the current timeline, I personally don't believe it."

"I really don't know what era these idiots upstairs are from. They're so insecure, it's like their inferiority complex is etched into their bones. Their words are naturally tinged with a sense of dejection. They don't even know to open their eyes and look at the world. The Bald Eagle Federation's Masla is already preparing to develop Mars, and we're making a huge fuss about building a lunar base. They're so pessimistic. Why don't you say these things to Masla?"

"Exactly, a bunch of vermin who can't stand to see their fellow countrymen proud!"

"They usually hide in the gutter, and over time they get used to the darkness. But one day, when the sunlight shines in and disrupts their dark environment, they feel that the sunlight is sinful!"

at the same time.

NASA headquarters.

As the dominant power in this world, the Bald Eagle Federation has extremely good information network.

In fact, before the Tengu spacecraft successfully landed on the moon, they had an internal analysis report that specifically marked the technologies used by the Tengu spacecraft and various parameters.

The report concluded by stating that the success rate of the Galaxy Technologies mission was over 80%. Even so, NASA took no action.

Because they couldn't possibly present such a report, which lacked any authoritative verification, to those vultures, telling them they needed to be wary of China, wary of Galaxy Technology, and wary of their development in aerospace technology.

If they actually did that, they would only be ridiculed, or even get themselves into trouble.

It would be better to wait until things happen, then naturally accept the vultures' support and put forward our own conditions.

At this moment, a high-level meeting of the Bald Eagle Federation is being held.

"Facts have proven that China's aerospace technology has progressed very quickly, far exceeding our estimates. If everything goes smoothly, China will completely surpass us in all aspects of the aerospace field in ten years."

"Gentlemen, I believe we must reclaim our dominance in space exploration, restart our lunar program, and prove to the world that our technology still stands."

A senior NASA official stated firmly.

"Oh, I don't think so. Do you know how much it would cost to restart the moon landing program?"

"Back then, it involved 300 billion. You have to understand that was 300 billion in that era, not 300 billion now. If it were today, it would probably be ten times that amount."

"We must carefully consider such a huge sum of money!"

Another lawmaker rejected NASA officials’ proposal to restart the moon landing program outright.

"With China's current technology, how dare they even dream of landing on the moon and building a base there? This is simply wishful thinking and delusional. I have already foreseen China's fate: failure!"

“A project that is destined to fail is not worth our time to discuss or argue about. That would be a waste of our lives.”

"Since China is willing to spend money, let's let them spend it to their heart's content. In the end, they will gain nothing. I think that's the most likely outcome."

In the meeting room, everyone had their own ideas.

Everyone was already used to this situation.

Because this is their daily routine.

Hold small meetings for important matters, and large meetings for minor matters!

In fact, the idea of ​​restarting the lunar landing program had already been raised before.

However, after a brief search of the materials left over from that year, I quietly put the topic aside.

Back then, the Bald Eagle Federation was able to send astronauts to the moon entirely thanks to the sheer power of its bricks.

A single chip is the size of a palm, and its unique algorithm was actually written by their own engineers.

It can be said that the Bald Eagle Federation back then truly deserved to be called the beacon of Earth. It brought together a large number of global human elites and combined everyone's strength to achieve such an amazing feat.

But after these people passed away and the technology was lost, the situation changed.

There is no possibility of replicating this achievement.

I originally thought that what's past is past.

But no one expected that China's aerospace technology would develop so rapidly, especially after Wang Donglai led Galaxy Technology into the aerospace field.

Rocket engines, space stations, lunar exploration...

During this process, Wang Donglai also accomplished so many other things.

Now, it is openly cooperating with two major aerospace groups to jointly tackle the challenges of manned lunar landing.

Although they achieved manned lunar landings many years ago.

But watching China catch up left them with a sense of threat that was indescribable.

Moreover, this also involves the international face of the Bald Eagle Federation.

If we don't regain this face, how can the Bald Eagle Federation, as the big brother, maintain its standing?

However, it is clear that everyone has their own considerations.

And at this time.

A politician who had been silent until now suddenly spoke up: "I have something to tell you all."

"The President is preparing to issue an order for a full-scale sanction against Galaxy Technology, and it should be issued soon!"

"No cutting-edge equipment may be sold to Galaxy Technology. Any technology or product that may involve sensitive information must be reviewed by the review committee before it can be sold."

"Finally, this sanctions list is not fixed, nor will it target only Galaxy Technology. It will target all Chinese companies that may pose a threat to us!"

After the politician finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent.

Everyone is pondering what kind of profit-making opportunities will emerge from this upcoming new regulation, and what kind of losses it will cause to their interests.

In just a moment, everyone understood.

"Restarting the moon landing program is too costly, I don't think it's necessary. We can hand this task over to Masla!"

"Indeed, that's a good idea!"

"We just need to give Masla a little support, and the rest is up to Masla."

"If he really succeeds in colonizing Mars, then we will become great again!"

"Yes, we can fully leverage our strengths!"

In just a few words, the crowd that had initially opposed the idea immediately changed their tune and attitude.

No one seemed uncomfortable with this; on the contrary, they appeared completely at ease.

Masla received the news immediately after the meeting ended.

The reason why SpaceX under Masla has been able to develop so quickly.

Behind this is the support of NASA.

From engineers to technical equipment, the support provided was immense.

Masla also didn't let NASA's support go to waste.

It became a global sensation and attracted wealthy people from all over the world by claiming that immigrating to Mars was a goal that could not be achieved for a long time.

In addition, the truly top-notch aerospace technology allowed Masla to lead SpaceX to a firm foothold.

In a sense, Masla's interests are aligned with NASA's.

Especially when facing technological threats from China.

When Masla received the message from NASA that he and China's Galaxy Technology were going to compete in developing lunar landing programs and be the first to build a base on the moon, he couldn't help but laugh.

He was a true capitalist; he would never do business at a loss. (End of Chapter)
