I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 947: Not just farming (seeking for votes!)
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Recently screened by the space elevator on the Internet, the attention to the asteroid Benu has not formed enough heat.
From the beginning of Doomsday Theory in 2000 to the plain Christmas in 2012, people have been surprised by the strange baptism of Doomsday Theory.
Even if Jiang Chen stood seriously in front of the media and told them that there was a colonial ship from the stars, he flew to the solar system from 20.5 light years away for nearly a century. The chairman of the enemy country put a few tags similar to "humor" and "love to tell cold jokes".
Because of this, the irresponsible voice of protest against Xinghuan Trade is harsh, but not strong.
However, this does not mean that some countries will abandon this as an entry point and make irresponsible remarks about the "space hegemony" that the star ring trade is forming.
For example, the United States, for example, their small partner EU, and Latin American countries.
The ESA first protested the "irresponsible" behavior of the new country and asked the new country to explain the incident at the United Nations General Assembly in September this year.
Hua Guo only expressed close attention to the progress of this incident, and believes that the new Congress will properly deal with the problem of the Benu asteroid. Considering the recent cooperative relationship with Xinghuan Trading on the microgravity laboratory project, China ’s diplomatic language is relatively peaceful, but it is obvious that it has drawn the asteroid Beno to Some dissatisfaction in the Earth-Moon system.
The wording of the United States is quite tough, requiring the new country to immediately produce evidence to prove the safety of the Benu asteroid, otherwise NASA will begin to study the plan to destroy the Benu asteroid in outer space.
When he heard the trouble in Zhang Yaping's mouth, Jiang Chen burst out laughing, disdainfully.
"Destroy? Where can I put them to destroy, but they can be destroyed?"
The difficulty of landing an asteroid is much more difficult than landing on the moon. It is even more difficult to transport enough equivalent explosives to blast. Of course, Jiang Chen believes that NASA has the strength to calculate the orbit of the asteroid, and believes that spaceX has the ability to send explosives.
But!
Send dozens of tons of special explosives up and install them again? With the toothpick of Falcon 9? Sending 10% of the US military expenditure to spaceX, and giving them two years to study the plan and implement the plan in two years, Jiang Chento believes that they may have a real chance of blowing up the Benu asteroid.
Anyway, his space elevator will not help deliver explosives.
Jiang Chen's reply to Zhang Yaping is also very simple.
"The solution to this matter is one word, drag."
"We have already started the mining program in advance, and the edited asteroid mining video will be published in a short time."
"Are n’t they worried about being hit by asteroids? Then let them take a good look at the gap between indigenous and civilized people. When they see the strength of our knife on asteroids, they wo n’t It ’s suspicious there. "
"I will go to the Mining Service of Future People in a while, I will hang up first."
......
In the Pentagon, William James, dressed in Marine Corps uniforms, led by a civilian female secretary to the door of a conference room.
Shortly after returning from Coro Island to Washington, he was almost here as soon as he got off the plane, and he was invited here by his superior.
The female secretary nodded slightly to him, pushed open the door of the meeting room for him, and then stepped aside.
James said thank you and walked into the door. When he saw the people in the meeting room, his expression suddenly surprised.
The black director of NASA, Bolden, cannot fail to know that in this country where ethnic discrimination is serious, ministerial-level blacks are heroes or idols who are worshipped by African immigrants. Sitting next to Bolden was Anthony Kriegan, director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense, a thin white man with a hawk nose and freckles.
Ministry of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, referred to as DARPA. There is another nickname for this incredible department, which is "Aegis Bureau".
As for the two sitting in the first place, that's even more remarkable.
One is the current Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, and the other is US President Hillary Clinton.
Take a deep breath. William James is preparing to salute his boss, but Mr. Carter has no intention of talking nonsense with him and ca n’t wait to speak.
"Mr. James, we hope to hear what you see in the Star City."
William James will of course not refuse. The reason why the US government sent the Marine Corps captain to the first opening ceremony is to inquire about intelligence.
I saw that the black soldier nodded, swallowed, and said.
"About a five-hour flight, we arrived at the synchronous orbital space station, which is the Star City."
"Slower than the rocket." Mr. Krigan lowered his voice and said next to Hillary, "Our Falcon rocket will not take half an hour."
SpaceX received technical support from the DARPA department when developing the Falcon series of rockets, so the term "Our Falcon Rocket" used by Krigan is correct. It was just that when he said this, Bolden glanced at him, but said nothing, and looked away after two seconds.
Hillary nodded, not talking, but continued to look at James seriously, waiting for the black soldier to follow.
"After arriving at the terminal, Star Ring Trade sent a guide to take us into the inside of Star Ring City."
"According to him, the entire Star Ring City is a ring, and the ring is also the counterweight of the space elevator. There are subways, living units, and external space stations ..."
At this point, William James paused, and a fascination gradually appeared in his eyes.
"The most shocking thing is that they moved the farmland to the space station."
The high-level Americans here looked at each other, and only Krigan turned his pen disdainfully.
“There are also planting units on the International Space Station. This is not a special technique, and it ’s not surprising. We saw the pumpkins shipped from the International Space Station as early as ten years ago. Is there anything else besides this? "
Hillary and Ashton nodded one after another.
Just growing vegetables in space is not a novel technology. The United States has solved this problem in the laboratory as early as ten years ago, and 14 years later it was approved to set up a space farm in the US space of the International Space Station, and successfully planted a variety of surface plants such as cabbage and carrots.
Compared with these irrelevant technologies, they are more concerned about the potential value of Star City in military and economic aspects.
Of all the people present, only Bolden is indifferent. He came back from the UN Outer Space Summit and he knew exactly how advanced the aerospace technology of the Star Ring Trade is.
It ’s not good to hit the boss, but William James felt that it was necessary to remind everyone here, so he whispered.
"But their area is two thousand acres ..."
The room is quiet, even if a needle falls on the ground, it can be heard clearly.
The rotating pen has fallen on the notebook. Krigan's mouth is slightly open, closed, and then opened again, like a robot.
Sheila has no expression inside, she is really expressionless, because she does not know what expression to do to express the shock in her heart.
Even Bolden's black face changed slightly. Even if he had been prepared for a long time, he was shocked by the generosity of Xinghuan Trading.
It ’s easy to grow vegetables in space? It's really simple.
But what about large-scale cultivation? These are completely two concepts!
An external space station with an area of more than two thousand mu? Is this Nima really called the space station?
It seems that the expression of his head boss, the Minister of Defense, is not very good. William James hesitated and asked in a low voice: "... Is it necessary to continue reporting?"
"Go on," Hillary said in a deep voice.
Seeing Ashton nodded, William James continued.
"Most of the space stations are empty spaces, like the two thousand acres of farmland we only saw one."
The people present were relieved. It seems that such shocking things are not so easy to handle. Even with the financial resources of Xinghuan Trade, only one was built.
But then, the words of William James made everyone feel better, and suddenly fell to the bottom. Kriegen's jaw closed, and fell again.
"I asked the tour guide why they left the vacant land and not all planted wheat. He told me that this external universal space station has many uses, not just farming. They are going to build a house and build a factory on it. It ’s just because the population of the Star City is very small, so there is no need to develop so many agricultural areas ... "
At this moment, William James ’s speech was interrupted, and an assistant-looking man pushed the door open and hurried into the meeting room.
In the face of a line of dissatisfaction, he couldn't care so much at the moment, and took out the Ai 8 mobile phone from his pocket, and looked dignifiedly towards Clinton.
"What's the matter? Mr. Eric, don't you know we are in a meeting now-"
"Xinghuan Trading has new moves! You let me stare at them. Believe me, I definitely did not intend to break into the conference room, please allow me to take up three minutes of your time!"
As he said, the man called Eric tapped his phone a few times, and then presented the phone to Hillary.
Is that a video, or is it like the one edited from a science fiction movie ...
Hilary frowned slightly, why did the White House assistant break into the conference room to show her this Hollywood movie. Ashton glanced at the video, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but I didn't know if he had found something, and soon his expression gradually became more exciting.
The Bolden sitting next to him, his expression froze at the moment he saw the asteroid panorama.
For a while, his stiff facial muscles twitched and whispered.
"This is Benu asteroid ... the video is not like CG."
Hillary was stunned. He looked at the phone with a ghostly expression and exclaimed.
"This is impossible!"
