"The Chang'e lunar exploration program??? What the hell is that?"
Professor Nelson looked at the report given by Minister Cohen.
"Building a research and development base on the moon in one year? That's pure fantasy!"
Do you think NASA is too weak to wield its sword anymore?
"That's why I asked you to come and study this. If, and I mean if, China can achieve this within a year..."
Building a research and development base on the moon—that would have a significant impact!
Nelson touched his forehead.
"Minister, that's impossible. Let alone China, even NASA, in conjunction with the European Space Agency..."
It's also impossible to establish a research and development base on the moon in a short period of time; the lunar environment simply cannot meet the needs of human habitation.
Unless a large amount of energy equipment, such as oxygen-producing machines, is sent up,
"Now China can't even send a lunar rover up there. Aren't they just treating us like fools?"
"Could it be that Lanxiang Group has already mastered some core technology?"
As the head of NASA, Nelson has been busy with the development of the Delta rocket for the past six months.
However, Cohen was quite familiar with the Lanxiang Group.
In just one year since the group was established,
China's fifth-generation fighter jets, aircraft carriers, air defense missile systems, main battle tanks, and all kinds of weapons and equipment have been upgraded.
In normal research and development, each project would take at least ten or twenty years to develop.
It's simply impossible to develop!
"Minister Cohen, I think you're overthinking it. Even if it's the other side's launch vehicle propulsion system..."
Even if we meet the criteria for landing on the moon, so what? What happens after we land?
Where will the energy come from? Without an unlimited supply of oxygen generators, all the astronauts would die on the moon in at most 10 minutes!
"What if the other side uses a nuclear propulsion system? As long as the rocket can successfully land on the moon..."
Will that satisfy our energy supply needs?
Professor Nelson stared at Minister Cohen with an incredulous expression...
"Nuclear-powered propulsion system? Impossible! Our nuclear-powered rockets are still in the project approval stage."
The design, security, and leakage issues haven't been resolved yet!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"
Professor Nelson added.
Minister Cohen then produced another document.
The document details the entire process of the last Pacific aircraft carrier collision incident.
The report records show that
China's aircraft carrier, the "Mantis Shrimp," uses a nuclear power system.
Previously, China didn't even have the capability to build steam-powered aircraft carriers.
The fact that it can be put into use immediately shows that the research on nuclear power technology has reached a very advanced stage!
"I really didn't know that. Their aircraft carrier is already nuclear-powered?"
"Professor Nelson, I think we need to slow down our Delta rocket development project."
If China does indeed launch a carrier rocket and successfully land on the moon, this second space race will begin.
It might be about to begin!
This time, however, the main characters are no longer the Soviet Union and the United States.
It's now China and the Americans!
........
At this moment, on the beautiful beaches of the Persian Gulf...
Saudi Prime Minister Sheikh Shahrani is currently on vacation with his family.
Enjoy the sea breeze and delicious food.
The secretary slowly approached the prime minister's side.
"Prime Minister, it's Minister Judil on the phone!"
"Judith? Doesn't this kid know I'm on vacation with my family this month? Why is he calling at this hour?"
Prime Minister Hill Shahrani appeared extremely angry about the sudden phone call.
However, Minister Judith, unless there is an emergency...
She definitely wouldn't call me at this time, since Judith is very familiar with my schedule.
He even arranged the entourage for his trips.
"Judith, I'm sunbathing!"
"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency, but the situation is very urgent."
I think we have to make a difference!
"Emergency??? Which little brat in the Middle East is starting this commotion again?"
Since the introduction of the Surin air defense missile system, as well as the Dongfeng series missiles,
The entire landscape of the Middle East has indeed changed long ago.
People used to say that rich dogs were wealthy, but they were also stupid, had too much money, and deserved to be beaten.
Now, no one in the entire Middle East dares to mess with the powerful dog.
If you push me too far, Dongfeng Express will deliver it directly to your Presidential Palace.
As the saying goes, "With a sword in hand, one remains calm in the slightest."
"No, those kids are really behaving themselves these days, but I just received some news..."
There's something new happening in China!
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Hill Shahrani sat up straight on the beach.
Currently, most of the weapons and equipment of the powerful dogs are imported from China.
It is the largest buyer in China's arms trade.
If new weapons and equipment are developed, as long as they are sold globally,
Given my relationship with Principal Su, securing a starting position shouldn't be a problem!
"What equipment? Just get the money approved by the finance department. Buy it first, enjoy it first!"
"Prime Minister, I think we won't be able to buy this kind of equipment this time!"
Who would sell a research and development base on the moon to someone else?
"Can't afford it??? There's nothing in this world that you can't afford."
Unless we run out of money, what will our oil production be like this year?
Prime Minister Hill Shahrani, who has served for three years, is someone I've never heard say before.
