The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, dear friends who are watching the live broadcast, we are now broadcasting the space journey of the first group of space tourists."

"We can see that the space hotel has appeared in our sight. Next, the Southwest space shuttle will rendezvous and dock with the space hotel."

"The Space Hotel and the Southwest space shuttle are both affiliated with the China Space Travel Group. Starting from now, the China Space Travel Group will launch a space trip every two weeks. Audience friends who want to travel to space can go to the China Space Travel Group official website to buy tickets."

"There are 500 tickets for each space trip, and it is very likely that the frequency of space trips will increase in the future."

"Okay, dear audience friends, now the distance between the 'Space Hotel' and the 'Southwest' space shuttle is only 10 meters, and the two are almost flying side by side."

"The distance between the two sides is only 3 meters. Look, everyone, the Southwest space shuttle and the Space Hotel have set up three passages, connecting the two into a combined entity. Passengers can enter the Space Hotel through the passages."

"Space Hotel General Manager Gao Xuemei is leading the Space Hotel staff to welcome passengers at the entrance. According to the information we have obtained, the Space Hotel team is a very young team with an average age of only 24 years old. The oldest general manager, Gao Xuemei, is only 27 years old."

"The first to pass through the passage and enter the 'space hotel' were retired cadres Liu Zhenbang and Chen Fang, who are also the parents of Liu Ziyu, a famous entrepreneur in my country."

This space trip was broadcast live around the world.

The first batch of space tourists were representatives from all walks of life in China, including nationally renowned entrepreneurs, writers, model workers, and so on.

Now entering the 'space hotel' from the aircraft is naturally an important milestone in the global live broadcast.

It is through this method that China has forced the whole world to realize that times have changed. The 21st century has entered the space age, and space is the commanding heights.

One space trip can carry 500 people, and the basic package costs 10 yuan. There is one trip every half a month, which means 5000 million yuan for one trip and 12 billion yuan for one year!
And everyone knows that this is just the beginning.

With the continuous construction of "space hotels" and the increase in the capacity of aerospace planes, the size of this market is easily calculated in trillions of dollars.

As long as 1000 million people travel into space every year, the market size of space travel will be at least one trillion!

And this is all based on the basic package of space travel.

How many people around the world want to travel into space and travel to the moon?

I'm afraid it's in the hundreds of millions!
Not to mention, there are others!

Just like some private companies have already applied for space burial services. After a person dies, there is no need for cremation. Instead, the body is directly launched into space to keep it from decaying for many years.

The relevant departments are currently conducting research on space burial services.

It can be said that the entire space, not to mention other planets, just the space of the earth, is a blue ocean with vast space and great potential.

500 passengers entered the "space hotel" one by one through the passage.

Under the introduction of the staff, everyone was visiting the "Space Hotel".

The 'space hotel' is very different from the hotels on the ground. It is not as luxurious, but simple and clear, full of science fiction.

The 'space hotel' has no restaurant, only rooms. Meals are not meals on Earth, but are prepared in advance. There are a wide variety of dishes, with more than 180 kinds of meals. If you want to eat a hot meal, just choose what you want to eat, click it, and the corresponding space meal will be heated up and then delivered to your room by a robot.

In the 'space hotel', the most obvious thing is the state of weightlessness, people will float up anytime and anywhere.

This also gives the 'space hotel' plenty of places to pull on and leverage, allowing people to move forward.

The rooms in the 'space hotel' are not very big and appear very compact, but the living facilities are very complete. Each 'space hotel' has a porthole through which you can see outside.

When facing away from the sun, you can look at the starry sky through the porthole, and the starry sky is very beautiful.

Without the influence of the Earth's atmosphere, the stars are shining brightly.

If the angle is right, you can see the moon and the earth from space. Below is a huge rotating blue planet, and the moon is moving around the earth.

Only in space can we truly understand why the earth is rotating and why it is constantly spinning. Only then can we understand that the moon is really a satellite of the earth and it is orbiting the earth.

Even in the "space hotel", you can see satellites flying autonomously in orbit, which is a very shocking scene.

For example, during the day, when looking at the earth from the "space hotel", you can see lakes, oceans, land, and even the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and the Great Wall clearly.

If it is at night, then you can clearly see where the bustling areas are.

After all, overlooking the night view of the earth from the "space hotel", the city lights are bright, just like the twinkling stars and the Milky Way. This scenery is like a dream, with shock and romance intertwined with each other.

Before they had completed three days in the "Space Hotel", the passengers left the "Space Hotel" one after another and entered the "Southwest" space shuttle through the passage again.

After the passengers boarded the Southwest space shuttle, it separated from the Space Hotel, and its engine emitted blue light, accelerating toward the moon.

From space, the moon is very clear.

After all, the moon is still very large, and the distance between the two is about 38 kilometers.

After nearly 9 hours, the 'Southwest' space shuttle arrived at the lunar orbit. After flying around the moon for a while, the 'Southwest' space shuttle adjusted its posture and flew towards the moon.

Because the moon has no atmosphere, there will not be a situation like when a spacecraft returns to the earth from space and enters the atmosphere, where high temperatures are generated due to atmospheric friction.

The Southwest space shuttle continued to slow down.

Many people couldn't help but look at the moon through the porthole, and they could feel the desolation of the moon.

It is bumpy, desolate and lifeless.

Finally, the "Southwest" space shuttle arrived at the "Guanghan Palace" permanent lunar scientific research base.

In fact, even now, even from Earth, you can use a space telescope to see China's "Guanghan Palace" permanent lunar research base.

After all, the 'Guanghan Palace' permanent lunar scientific research base is now very large.

There are 300 astronauts and scientists who have lived and worked in the "Guanghan Palace" permanent lunar research base for a long time, and the number reached 500 at the peak.

Each building is full of science fiction feeling.

Solar power generation can be found everywhere.

There is usually a glass passage between buildings.

The Southwest space shuttle landed vertically at the designated parking location of the Guanghan Palace permanent lunar scientific research base.

The hatch did not open immediately because the passengers were putting on their space suits.

You don't need to wear it inside the Guanghan Palace Hotel, but you have to wear it outside the building.

Liu Ziyu helped Liu Zhenbang down the gangway.

Many people were very excited, after all, this is the moon!

Who would have dared to imagine that one day they would be able to reach the moon?

And now, it has come true.

The Guanghan Palace Hotel uses solar energy and nuclear batteries to supply electricity, ensuring the power needs of the entire Guanghan Palace Hotel. In the Guanghan Palace Hotel, everyone feels that the gravity is much smaller than that on Earth, but there is not much else.

The 'Guanghan Palace' hotel is different from the 'Space' hotel. The hotel rooms in the 'Guanghan Palace' hotel are much larger. It also has a restaurant and a separate bathroom where you can take a shower in the room.

The water provided here is real water, that is, pure H2O!

This is water formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.

As for wastewater, it will also be transported to the life chamber for comprehensive utilization.

After arriving at the Guanghan Palace Hotel, everyone went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. The entire hotel restaurant is a separate enclosed cabin with a large area.

Everyone looked at the plates of vegetables, steamed fish or braised fish, etc., and their appetites whetted. After all, they hadn't had a good meal since they embarked on the space journey.

Everyone discovered that the vegetables, fish and meat here are different from those eaten on Earth.

After asking, I found out that these foods were produced on the moon, and because of the different environment, the taste is also different.

For example, fish are raised in real water, so the fish raised are naturally different from those raised in reservoirs, lakes, etc.

The same goes for vegetables.

The dishes were very rich and everyone enjoyed them with gusto.

Not long after the meal, we were told that it would not be long before everyone would be able to see the earth rise.

On Earth, everyone likes to watch the sunrise and sunset.

On the moon, the rising and falling of the earth is naturally a rare and beautiful sight.

Everyone put on their space suits and went outside the hotel.

Not long after, a blue planet appeared on the horizon. It was the Earth.

The blue earth continued to rise and jumped out of the ground, and everyone was fascinated by it.

There is a very popular saying on the earth now: I think the most romantic thing is to sit on the moon with you and watch the earth slowly rise through the horizon.

At this moment, everyone is experiencing the most romantic thing.

When people look at the Earth from the moon, they find that the Earth appears much larger than when they look at the Moon from the Earth.

After watching the Earth's rise, everyone, led by a tour guide, visited the "Guanghan Palace" scientific research base.

The life system cabin uses artificially adjusted photosynthesis. Vegetation absorbs water and carbon dioxide through photosynthesis to produce sugar and oxygen. The oxygen is supplied to other places. There are various vegetation in the life system, including fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, which are provided to people for consumption.

Everyone looked at the life system cabin and couldn't help but admire it, it was really high-tech!

When visiting the scientific research center, it was an eye-opener for everyone to see young scientists studying the moon and the universe.

However, what really shocked everyone was that a lunar factory had been built at the "Guanghan Palace" scientific research base, and that the lunar factory was already in production.

As you can see, parts are produced one by one, and then the lunar rover is driven in another production workshop.

Robots, lunar rovers, etc. made everyone exclaim incredulously.

The entire "Guanghan Palace" scientific research base is very large, and it really makes everyone feel shocked when they see it.

Liu Tao didn't pay much attention to this first space trip.

The entire space journey will be broadcast live. In addition to advertising for the China Space Travel Group, the most important thing is to focus more people's attention on space, attracting all parties to enter space and play games in space.

After all, it is very big and vast, and can withstand everyone's gambling.

And there are not many windows left for everyone.

If we don’t seize the opportunity now, space will be blocked in the future.

This is a real conspiracy that forces unwilling countries to compete in space.

The earth is too fragile, and the life on earth is too fragile.

Look at how many people have died in Africa because of war over the years.

So far, according to the United Nations, the population of Africa is less than 5 million. But you should know that Africa is very large, with an area of ​​more than 3000 million square kilometers.

At that time, there were more than 50 countries in Africa, with more than 300 ethnic groups in total.

What now?
The number of countries has not decreased, but we don’t know how many ethnic groups have been wiped out. Don’t say that we can only see them in history, because it is very likely that these disappeared ethnic groups are not worthy of being included in history books.

Let’s look at the Australian continent. Because of the war, both sides have suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, and there is no sign of the fighting stopping.

Space travel is different from the first batch of passengers. In addition to 400 domestic passengers, the second batch of passengers also includes 100 foreign passengers. They will start their space journey in a few days.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone celebrates the new year with great joy, but it is different abroad.

In addition to the auction of African assets, news of negotiations between the United States, Japan and South Korea has also been released continuously.

This is equivalent to buying sovereignty with money.

South Korea is conducting a nationwide fundraising campaign, and ordinary Koreans are excitedly donating gold and foreign exchange to help the country buy sovereignty.

As an old capitalist power, Japan has to appear to be rich.

Japan's GDP has been declining in recent years, but Japan has a large amount of assets overseas.

Especially in China, Japan started investing in China very early on, and these investments reaped very rich returns.

As long as the chaebols agree, Japan can still come up with that huge sum of money if it grits its teeth.

The United States' strategic retreat was much greater than Liu Tao had expected.

This clearly means that they want to return to North America and operate North America well.

On the other hand, Europe, which had paid a huge price to gain North Africa, began to have conflicts with Russia.

Due to the lack of sufficient capital, Russia gained very little from the auction, except for the restoration of peace in Libya.

But Russia is not satisfied and wants to gain greater benefits in Africa.

But Europe is not willing to give up the cake that it has paid a huge price for. It is not enough for itself, so how can it give it to Russia?

In addition, with the oil and gas supply from North African countries to Europe returning to normal, Europe no longer needs as much oil and natural gas from Russia.

Besides, Europe is still wary of Russia, after all, Russia just took over Crimea a few years ago! (End of this chapter)
