Galaxy Technology Empire

"Fake Squid! These damn gangs are settling down."

After Maxwell saw the report of the signing of the Shantou-US Agreement, he immediately cursed.

He had been at war with the Eastern Tang people for five days at the Outer Space Conference, but he did not expect that the Western Continent Alliance would privately sign a cooperation agreement with the Eastern Tang-Galaxy Alliance.

These days, he has been communicating with Layton and others a lot, hoping that by playing the emotional card and the safety card, using both hard and soft tactics, he can get the West Continent Alliance to change its mind.

He didn't expect that in the end, he and the Mi Li family would be fooled by the Xizhou Alliance like fools. How could he not be angry?

"Mr. Mike, we are in a very passive situation now and must find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible." Alice also looked very ugly.

"Their agreement has been signed. The 350 billion yuan of the Xizhou Alliance has been transferred into the accounts of the Eastern Tang people. If the contract is broken at this time, the Xizhou Alliance will not get back a penny. They will not give up the quality projector." Maxwell Calm down and analyze.

"First give up the plan to buy a mass projector and cooperate with the Dongtang people to build a mass projector. However, we require that the mass projector must be within the MiLi family." Alice thought for a while and said.

"It is unlikely that they will agree." Maxwell shook his head and said. If the mass projector is built within the Mi Li family, the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty will definitely not agree.

"Let's contact the Dongtang people privately first." Alice said without giving up.

Although Maxwell knew that Alice was acting out of imagination, she was a member of the Federal Parliament after all. Maxwell could only nod his head and agreed to Alice's proposal.

Sure enough, after the two parties contacted each other in private, Alice and Maxwell once again returned without success.

Even if Maxwell retreated to the next best thing and proposed building mass projectors in Central America, Zhao Hongxing and Wang Tu insisted that there would only be three mass projectors at most, and there would be no more mass projector projects in the short term.

January 12th.

Shanghai Hilton Hotel, venue for the International Outer Space Conference.

This time, Mi Lijia, Mao Xiong, Tianzhu, and John's family all gave up the idea of ​​buying a mass projector, and instead proposed the plan of renting a mass projector.

"If you want to rent a mass projector, you can only wait until the construction of the mass projector in Wenchang, Qiongzhou, is completed." Zhao Hongxing said with a smile.

"You have two mass projectors in Kaohsiung and Bazhong. We are willing to rent part of the launch capacity." Maxwell said quickly.

"I'm very sorry, the Kaohsiung and Bazhong bases involve confidential information, and we have no plans to rent them out for the time being." Wang Tu refused directly.

The Space Development Committee has reached an internal agreement that even if it is a lease, it will have to be delayed until the construction of the Qiongzhou Wenchang mass projector is completed and then put into use. It will be almost the end of 2020.

In one year, with the addition of the two mass projectors, the Eastern Tang-Galaxy Alliance's space advantage will become greater and greater.

As for why they agreed to rent the Qiongzhou Wenchang mass projector to them, it was mainly to prevent these guys from jumping over the wall and fighting a life-and-death battle with the Dongtang-Galaxy Alliance.

"But..." Andrew, the representative of John's family, was about to speak.

Zhao Hongxing interrupted directly: "Nothing, do you have a spaceship now? Do you have supporting facilities? No, right! You don't have any of these, so what's the use of renting a mass projector now?"

"Uh..." Andrew thought for a while and nodded.

Maxwell and others also knew that what Zhao Hongxing said was true. Spaceships were indeed a big problem because their spaceship specifications were completely different from those of the Space Development Committee.

Since you want to rent a mass projector, the specifications must be according to the spacecraft of the Space Development Council. Otherwise, if your own spacecraft cannot be used on the mass projector, then it will be a waste of money.

But when he thought about the Space Development Committee's specifications, Maxwell's face became grim. The technical standards that NASA had worked so hard for decades would have to be overturned overnight, and his liver ached when he thought about this.

"In addition, the Space Development Committee can provide 30% of the launch share of the Qiongzhou Wenchang mass projector, and 5% of the launch share. After the construction of the mass projector is completed, it will be auctioned, and the highest bidder will win." Wang Tu said with a smile. .

"Is 30% too little?" Maxwell asked with a frown.

"It's already quite a lot. If the time arrangement is reasonable, at least 10,000 tons of transportation can be launched into outer space a year. Of course, the Xizhou Alliance also has a 40% launch share." Wang Tu reminded maliciously.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Tu reminded him, Maxwell and others reacted immediately.

The Space Development Committee has given 30% of the launch share of the Wenchang mass projector. Even if they eat it all, the maximum is 30%.

What's more, any force that is determined to make a big splash in the universe will not miss out on this 30% launch share. The Mi Li family, Mao Xiong family, John family, and Tianzhu family will definitely get at least a share.

In addition, the Camel Alliance, the Southeast Asian Association, the Kingdom of Judah, and the Samba Kingdom are also very likely to have a hand. In this way, there will be more monks and less rice, and competition will definitely be fierce.

If part of the 40% held by the Xizhou Alliance can be divided, everyone can get more launch shares.

"Mr. Layton, your Western Continent Alliance's 40% launch share is too much, why not give 20% to everyone!" Maxwell stared at Layton and said.

Too many? Why don't you go to the Dongtang people? They not only have a 30% launch share of Wenchang mass projectors, but also Kaohsiung and Bazhong. Their share is 230%. Layton despises Maxwell and others in his heart.

"Our Western Continent Alliance doesn't have much of a share, so we don't have any extra." Layton refused directly.

However, in the face of joint pressure from Mi Lijia, Mao Xiong, etc., the Xizhou Alliance finally had to put up 12% of its launch share for auction.

However, the insidious Leighton directly divided the 12% into 12 parts for auction, deliberately disturbing the Mi Li family's idea of ​​​​taking the lion's share.

Seeing the feud between the Mi Li family and the Xizhou Alliance, Wang Tu continued to fan the flames: "In order to prevent the mass projector from being used illegally, the Space Development Committee will conduct a comprehensive review of the countries that apply for the auction."

Maxwell's face changed: "If I haven't gone through the review, am I unable to participate in the auction?"

"That's right. If you don't pass the review, you won't be eligible to participate in the auction." Wang Tu replied with a smile.

"What are the judging criteria?" Maxwell asked with an ugly face.

"Well! We need to study it carefully. After all, this is related to the peace and future of mankind. We must be cautious." Wang Tu said with a smile.

Obviously there is a lot of room for maneuver in this review standard. Who knows what guarantees the Universe Development Committee will use to judge.

Soon Wang Tu distributed a copy of the "Mass Projector Lend Act" to everyone present.

Maxwell and others quickly studied it carefully, not knowing what to look for. Only after looking at it did they realize that the so-called Lend-Lease Act was a big trap, and the evaluation criteria for bidding qualifications were very vague.

Especially the last sentence: The final interpretation of this bill belongs to the Universe Development Committee.

In other words, if the Space Development Committee says you are qualified, you will have it; if it says you are not qualified, you will not.

And Wang Tu didn't give them a chance to choose. If they didn't accept the lease bill, they wouldn't participate in the bidding.
