Without the sudden emergence of the infinite gravitation group, the whole human space technology is estimated to be in a slow development state, because to be honest, it is too expensive to do space research, and it is difficult to see the benefits in the short term. In this case, it is very difficult to obtain a large amount of research and development funds.
But now that the spaceships of the infinite gravitation group are working, and have begun to plan to encircle the earth on the moon, who can afford to ignore the significance it represents?
"We must find a way to curb the development of the infinite gravitation group in space. Otherwise, if the main resource areas on the moon and Mars are occupied by them, then we will be in trouble if we want to take them back!" The head of space strategy of the United States said.
This is their third high-level meeting this month. Everyone in this room knows that he is right, but most people directly ignore his vague remarks.
"I think we all understand the seriousness of this problem. But at present, we believe that you also know that the economic crisis has been considered light, and I want to use financial disaster to describe it more appropriately!
At present, countries all over the world are reducing their holdings of our national debt. Our fiscal deficit has reached 4.6 trillion US dollars. However, fewer and fewer countries and institutions are willing to buy our bonds. In fact, such a large deficit has exceeded our repayment ability.
This is the reason why we wanted to use the infinite gravitation group as an example some time ago, because we hope to transfer the domestic contradictions, but as you can see, we are now the weak side!
Now we want to compete with their companies in the space field. Even if it is in accordance with your minimum requirements, it also needs Congress to pass at least $150 billion in additional funding each year. I think you know that this money is very difficult to pass? " Treasury Secretary Powell threw cold water.
This is why there have been two meetings about the competition with the infinite gravitation group on the moon, and there will be another meeting. It's still money. Now the situation in the United States has become a mess with Lei Tiantang's several coquettish operations, and its influence is also declining.
In this case, even if they want to make other countries pay by issuing excess currency as before, they can't do it. No one is a fool. When you are strong, people are forced to face you under pressure and interests. But now you are so counselled, who will sell you face?
There is no real friendship between countries. Interests are fundamental. In this case, the old US government, which has no way to get too much money, is powerless even if it wants to provide additional funds to the space agency and related companies. These senior government officials have held two meetings and still haven't discussed a specific way.
Whether it is the space agency of the United States or the relevant space companies, they try their best to ask for money from the government. Those capitalists do have money in their hands. But it is impossible for such a government led space race to let them pay for themselves. This is the reason why they argue here.
Everyone knows that there are very rich resources in the moon, the more distant Mars and the asteroid belt. If we can exploit enough resources to support the real development of human beings into a primary interstellar civilization, these space companies in the United States and the United States usually advocate this, but they are all cheating investment!
It seems like a lot to spend billions of dollars every year, but compared with the conservative estimate of the investment amount of infinite gravitation group in the space field, it is only a fraction. This year is not over. It is preliminarily estimated that the investment of infinite gravitation group in space R & D and manufacturing will be 120 billion US dollars!
Moreover, this figure is still a conservative estimate. No matter which aerospace company in the United States can not afford such investment, and the maximum annual net profit is tens of billions of dollars. Even if it is very large, where can such a large amount of money fall on it?
With so much money invested in the stock market, it's not easy to earn billions of dollars a year. Even if they have so much money, they don't want to invest with their own money, because the short-term benefits of this matter are very small!
If they spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year, their own company will close down in two or three years. In this case, who do they want if they don't ask the government for money?
"Can we advance our previous moon landing plan? The funds in front of us have been fully distributed. Have these funds been converted into rockets and lunar landers?
We can also launch a lot of exploration vehicles to the moon, and when our exploration vehicles reach the relevant areas of the moon, we can announce that the area has been occupied by us, so we can use the established facts to block the expansion of the infinite gravitational group on the moon!
In the end, we don't know whether the "space group" is losing the power of "infinite power". In the end, we are not playing a big role in the "space group" Secretary of state hayrix said helplessly.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Raymond, director of the space agency, straightened up quickly and replied, "our lunar landing plan is almost ready. The training of astronauts, the manufacture of rockets and the manufacture of lunar landers are all coming to an end.If the government needs it, if we work overtime, the time can start from about a month and a half before the launch can start half a month later!
However, if we want to compete with the infinite gravitation group in the number of exploration vehicles to be launched, the government will have to give us more funds. Otherwise, we have no money to make rockets or exploration vehicles, even if we want to launch, we have nothing to launch!
According to the technology we have at present, if we want to launch an exploration vehicle with the same number of exploration vehicles sent to the moon by the infinite gravitation group, our rocket will be launched at least 30 times. The cost of the rocket and the manufacturing cost of the exploration vehicle will cost at least 15 billion US dollars! "
Although the government has obtained several additional funding from the government, the space agency's plan to restart the moon landing program will start in 2025, and this time has not been accelerated much. For the employees of the United States, overtime is a very difficult thing, and technology research and development such as overtime work may not get very good results.
