I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"Wow, it's hard to imagine what kind of powerful force it is to build such a space station!"

In the small black room of the B-level base, Crown Prince Hamand and Prince Sweetan were the first to see the huge 1:20 model of the Advance space station, which almost occupied the center of the entire space station.

The space station model is suspended in the air with strings. Under the dark setting and simulated pale lights, it feels like you are already in the universe.

Models of the Earth, the Moon, Mars, and half of the solar system are also placed in the room.

Above the model axis cabin is a proportional astronaut doll, which sets off the majesty of the Advance space station.

Sweetan: "Lin, is this the space station you will build in the future?"

Lin Ju: "Yes, and it will be completed before 2020, and will undertake the low-Earth orbit relay mission for manned moon landings, and there will also be a smaller one for lunar orbit."

“Manned landing on the moon!”

Prince Sweetan and Hamand cried out at the same time.

Then Androv walked out of the darkness holding a model of the H2 space shuttle. He first placed it on a globe on the floor, simulating the launch-docking refueling-moon-landing-return route.

Androv has been appointed as the chief engineer of the lunar exploration mission. He vividly described the entire process of landing on the moon to the two of them, coupled with the demonstration of the exquisite model, it was a sure win for the two of them.

Arbor announced another $10 billion investment in aerospace, attracting space agencies and private companies from all over the world, all of whom were eager to sell their products door-to-door.

So when Lin Ju invited Prince Sweetan, who was still visiting China, to come over for a talk, the other party knew what Xinyuan meant and brought Crown Prince Hamand over by the way.

Due to their huge advantages in R\u0026D and manufacturing, Xinyuan once made a very favorable quotation with them. Aber is quite aware of this, not to mention that their own Mecca cruise ship has been offline, and they can take a seat if they wait a little longer. Fly him into space.

Now Xinyuan Aerospace Power has been regarded by the Arabs as a partner in the Central Asian world, and they also hope to have more cooperation.

Lin Ju certainly lived up to their expectations. After Androv finished his demonstration, he coughed lightly:

"Crown Prince, Your Highness, you should have learned that China Aerospace has undergone major reforms, which is the existence of the Aerospace Development Commission."

Sweetan nodded: "I know that Xinyuan's voice and potential market in aerospace have greatly increased. The space agency has many tasks that you can take on. Congratulations to you on such an achievement."

However, what surprised Sweetan was that after he finished speaking, instead of showing a smile, Lin Ju turned around and sighed, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, Lin? You don't seem very happy."

Lin Ju waved his hands and didn't want to speak. Androv stepped forward and said with a sad face:

“On the surface, we are on an equal footing with the space agency and can participate in key aerospace projects, but in fact it is completely different.

The Aerospace Development Commission actually imposes stricter constraints on us, forcing us to sell technology cheaply and help them launch spacecraft at a price that is only slightly higher than the cost. The space agency throws all difficult projects to us, but only pays in RMB. Every business is actually losing money!

For example, if we want to carry out a moon landing mission, the space agency's budget this year is less than US$2 billion. How much can be allocated to us? However, it is a space station and a manned mission. In fact, Xinyuan's current financial situation is very bad. This year, it depends entirely on the balance you paid to keep the factory running. You see, not even one-third of our bases are filled. "

"How could this be possible!"

Crown Prince Hamand could no longer listen and patted his chest righteously:

"How about I personally invest US$1 billion to book the 10-day space station tour you promote? Lin, we are friends, and I should support you."

"It can't be like this, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I should send you a launch. I make the decision. Since the first launch of Xinyuan from the Mecca, there will be no charge. You have already supported Xinyuan once when it was weak. You can't do this again."

Lin Ju was heartbroken and looked like we would break off our relationship if you said anything again, which made the Crown Prince embarrassed to accept it, and he felt even more guilty.

"So, is there anything Abel can do to help? If it's a funding problem, Royal Bank can immediately provide Xinyuan with a loan of US$5 billion."

Prince Sweetan, who was secretly observing, spoke. After all, he was old and sophisticated, so he was somewhat skeptical of Lin Ju's words, but he still expressed goodwill.

Androv stepped forward at the right time and placed the H2 model in front of the prince.

"Your Highness, we cannot exchange friendship for money. Although Xinyuan does need help, equal exchange is our principle."

As he spoke, he placed the astronaut mini model on the H2 space shuttle:

"Half a century has passed since Amerika landed on the moon. Only Amerikas in the world have set foot on the moon, and we are working hard to enable more people to set foot on the lunar surface."

Both Sweetan and Hamand caught the keyword "more people", and their hearts suddenly trembled, their breathing became a little rapid, and they looked at Androv more carefully.

"You mean..."

"We can fight for a quota for the first lunar landing for a good friend, and we can even discuss the order of setting foot on the lunar surface. Except for the first one, everything else is easy to discuss."

It’s easy to negotiate. How to negotiate? Of course, discuss it with money!

Hamand: "Can Abel plant his own flag?"

"Of course international cooperation is possible, but the specifications must be at the same height and the same location. As long as you pay..."

"Okay," Lin Ju interrupted Androv, looking very remorseful: "Obviously we are working for the greatest cause in the world, but we seem to be spending money as much as the roadside vendors. Your Highnesses are really sorry. , you’d better please come back, I can’t do this, you have already provided help to Xinyuan during its most difficult time.

I can't take my friends' money without conscience. This is the biggest insult to my character! "

Lin Ju said as he was about to walk out of the door, and was caught by Hamand and Sweetan at the same time.

Turning around, what I saw was Sweeney's sincere and pleading eyes:

"Mr. Lin, Uncle also has his own dream of space, but we only have money, so please be a little aggrieved for the sake of the people of Allah."

"This, this is really..."

Androv looked at the three people who were performing a painful love scene, and quietly took a look at the price list written on his wrist with a pen and hidden in his sleeve through the light of the simulated star:

1 moon landing quota: $10 billion;

Second step-out lander: $1 billion;

Stepping off a lander at the same time as the first man: $3 billion;

From the Mukala launch site, use the Mecca to send the country's lunar astronauts to the near-Earth space station, then enter H2, and use its own space shuttle when returning: scheduling and docking costs: 2 billion US dollars

After the first lunar landing, each lunar landing spot was worth US$500 million, and US$2.5 billion was used to purchase an exclusive living module on the surface;
