Chapter 1257

The last day of the National Day holiday.

The silver cargo cabin finally enters the atmosphere for the third time through continuous orbit change, and decelerates by using air resistance. Finally, it lands on the ground of Jinling space launch center safely.

This cargo cabin, which marks the crystallization of materials science and engineering technology of Jinling Institute of higher learning, is basically in good condition except for the loss of surface heat dissipation coating in the return section. It can be reused after a little repair.

At the same time, the most important thing is that the cargo stored in the return capsule is intact.

After learning the news, the Space Research Institute of Jinling Institute of higher learning was almost as festive as a festival. The same is true for several other cooperative Aerospace units in China. The responsibility in the hearts of the project team leaders finally falls to the ground, and they are all overjoyed.

Before the end of the seven-day holiday.

The moon orbit construction committee, in its own way, has finally delivered a great gift to the whole nation.

The gift consists of 4.27 tons of lunar ore, 50 kg of wheat, corn and potatoes, as well as some biological reagents and research specimens produced from the moon.

When seeing this precious gift, many old academicians and experts of the aviation science and Technology Group burst into tears.

How many years?

It's almost two generations since the launch of the space project.

They have never had such a huge harvest on the moon - or in outer space!

In the 1970s, during the honeymoon period of Sino American relations, a lunar rock sample brought by President Carter's Security Advisor was a treasure to them.

And that sample is only 1g.

It wasn't until chang'e-5 that China really mastered the technology of collecting ore samples from the moon.

Only four years have passed since chang'e-5.

In the past four years, under the guidance of academician Lu, China's aerospace industry has almost changed dramatically. Especially after the establishment of moon orbit construction committee, everything seems to be in a dream.

In addition to the jubilant research specimens and rare earth ores, there is another gift that follows.

At noon on the last day of the National Day holiday, the Presbyterian office suddenly held a press conference to announce that the "Guanghan Special Administrative Region" was officially established after discussion and decision at a high-level meeting!

According to the document approving the establishment of the "Guanghan Special Administrative Region", a 50 kilometer area near the yuemian scientific research station will be included in the public facilities development zone.

The so-called public facilities development zone is a new concept put forward by the moon orbit construction committee. That is, any spacecraft deployed in the region, as long as its ownership belongs to Chinese citizens or organizations, will be governed by and protected by Chinese laws.

In addition, within three years, China plans to send 2000 immigrants to Guanghan Special Economic Zone in six batches, and to build larger and more reliable life support facilities near the lunar scientific research station.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a stir all over the world.

People have been surprised by the Chinese people's ambitions on the space issue, as well as the terrible executive power.

Two thousand immigrants to the moon?

Is this going to build a colony on the moon?!

After hearing the news, many people were flustered.

On twitter.

"I bet it won't be long before they will draw the moon into the map!"

"The Chinese are occupying the moon! Can't the white house do something? "

"They can't do that! The moon belongs to everyone! "

"Wait a minute! I mean Would it be a scam? I bet they don't have the ability to send two thousand immigrants to the moon at all. They just want to drag us into this competition and then drag down our economy! "

"This is the case, but only if the exploitation of the moon's resources is not profitable. But this is not the case now. If you have paid attention to the futures market, you will find that dysprosium, terbium, scandium The price of these minerals, which appear on the goods list of Magpie Bridge No

"We can send Mexicans up."

The water in the river is not cold. The ducks who swim in the river are the first to know. Although the response of capital market can not represent the change of economic situation, it can basically reflect the expectation of the market for the future situation.

Magpie bridge 3 can't only carry one cargo hold, and China can't only have three in the future. With the completion of the lunar surface quality accelerator and the establishment of Guanghan Special Administrative Zone, the development of lunar resources will enter the next stage, which will have a tremendous impact on the rare earth market.

Of course, what scares Americans even more is the fact that China has come from behind, taking the lead in the "new world" that they originally regarded as the back garden.

Damn it!

These things originally belong to them!However, those minor protests have not had any impact on the plan, and are unlikely to shake China's determination to explore and develop the field of outer space.

At the same time, China's high-level actions did not stop.

A public enterprise named "Guanghan City Development Co., Ltd." was established soon, and raised 50 billion yuan in Shanghai stock exchange through IPO, directional additional shares and other channels, as well as issued corporate bonds with a total price of 50 billion yuan and an annual yield of more than 7%.

In a sense, it's a public offering.

With the huge proved reserves of titanium and rare earth minerals on the moon, even if the profitability of Guanghan City Development Co., Ltd. is not equal to that of East Asia power, which aims to make profits, its future development potential is not weak at all.

It's not just the social security fund that the big investors bought, but even star technology also took out some spare money to buy it.

The financial circle even spread a saying that as long as you can buy the lottery, you can basically earn money. Even if you don't buy shares in Guanghan City, the 7% annual yield corporate bonds are excellent, which is almost twice the interest rate of time deposits.

Compared with the growing enthusiasm of the domestic people for space exploration, the international public opinion environment is the opposite.

Most western countries, led by the United States, show anxiety and anxiety on this issue, which is like people who have not bought tickets and look at people sitting in the first-class cabin with envious eyes.

However, they don't have much to say.

After all, China actually plays a word game here.

The statement on the establishment of Guanghan Special Administrative Region is not aimed at the land on the moon, but only at those spacecraft and fixed facilities deployed on the moon.

And what is a facility?

Planting unit can be calculated, lunar mass accelerator can also be calculated, even a tile or even a flag can be included. In any case, all the final interpretation rights belong to the moon orbit construction committee.

Want to protest?

No problem.

Think of a way to go up first!

In the face of this "rogue" trick, other people really have no good way.

Director Carson, who landed at Shangjing International Airport, clearly felt that he would be embarrassed to visit China at this time.

However, it is not appropriate to cancel the trip temporarily.

One is that there is not so much time for him to wait, the other is that casually pigeoning people will overdraw their enthusiasm. In order to have friendly cooperation in the future, he must seize this opportunity

Think of here, the heart of director Carson, inexplicably raised a suffocation.

It wasn't like that ten years ago.

No, not even five years ago

Looking at the expression on his boss's face, the assistant standing next to him asked in a low voice.

"Sir?"

"It's nothing," Mr. Carson coughed softly and looked at the assistant standing by. "Let's go and meet the Chinese."

At the same time, he drew a cross in his heart.

I hope we can reach a pleasant agreement this time.

At least, I hope it's not too embarrassing or disappointing
