Super technology leader

America, news release center.

It's the time that President D. Trump likes most, holding a press conference.

At every press conference, he becomes the brightest star in the world because the whole world is watching him.

He likes this feeling.

However, since the outbreak, he has been troubled by fake news and fake reporters, which has made him less fond of press conferences, with his level of fondness dropping below Twitter.

Of course, today is different. Today's press conference theme is science, technology, and the future, and he needs to announce a grand plan.

This is what he, as the President, should do.

The President, in a well-fitted suit and a dazzling red tie, opened his arms, slightly raised his chin, and loudly announced to the world: "I announce the restart of the 'Moon Grand Prix'! But this time is different from the last. This time it's new, it's restarted and updated by me."

"If a team can send a lunar probe to the moon within two years, land it safely, and then collect some lunar rock samples and return them to Earth successfully, then this team will win the Moon Grand Prize."

"This time the prize money is very generous, a full 50 million US dollars, which is much more than the last time. This is what I specifically instructed NASA to allocate for this competition."

"Note that this is not the final reward. The winner can also compete for our return-to-the-moon contract, which is a large order worth billions of dollars."

"At first, they all disagreed, and then I said, 'Hey, guys, this is a major event for the whole world, related to the future of the whole world. We can't be so stingy. We must trust those private companies, they can always create surprises.' In the end, they were convinced by me..."

President D. Trump spoke eloquently, but to sum it up, there are only two things: announcing the restart of the Moon Grand Prix and praising himself fiercely.

He spoke for about ten minutes before finishing.

After he finished, it was the Q\u0026A session with reporters. As a result, he pointed to the first reporter, who began to question him, and it wasn't even related to today's theme.

"President, it's already June, and more than 100,000 people in America have died because of the epidemic. Do you regret the orders you gave in the beginning?"

President D. Trump was quick, and said directly: "Everything I did was right, so I have nothing to regret. Next!"

Hoping that the second reporter would ask a good question, the other party asked him a similar question again. This time, he didn't even bother to answer, directly saying, "Fake news, next."

After that, it was okay. A few reporters on his side asked a few appropriate questions and praised him.

But before he could be happy, another reporter asked an inappropriate question, and he turned around and left.

This damn press conference is really not as fun as posting on Twitter.

The President left, but the press conference had to continue as usual. Although the time was already messed up, the director of NASA, who was scheduled to be behind him, still went up.

"Ahem," the director of NASA, holding a stack of documents, stood in front of the microphone, put the documents on the podium, and said, "Thank you to our President, he played a very important role in persuading many people to agree to this competition."

"He has been very busy recently. He must be feeling unwell just now. Next, I will tell you about the specific rules of the Grand Prix."

Saying that, he opened the documents on the podium, "For this competition, the participating teams must ensure that they have a carrier rocket to launch the probe, either build it themselves or cooperate with existing private rocket launch companies. Anyway, they can only use the equipment of private companies and cannot apply for assistance from national institutions."

"But there is one thing to note here. Teams that only build the probe and use other companies' rockets to complete this competition can only receive a maximum of 10 million in prize money, while teams that use their own rockets and probes can receive a maximum of 30 million..."

After watching this news, Tang Chao's teeth were itching.

He didn't know if his company was too good at picking the time, or if the other party was too good at picking the time.

It felt like they were coming for him.

Originally, Star Navigator Company was already popular in China because of the amateur rocket competition, and the information began to spread abroad.

If there were two days of information dissemination, Star Navigator would definitely be a hit in the aerospace and technology circles around the world.

But it was a bit unlucky to run into this kind of thing.

20 million RMB versus 50 million US dollars, a complete defeat.

Amateur rocket versus lunar probe sample return, a complete defeat.

Unknown small company versus American President D. Trump + NASA + private aerospace company, a complete defeat.

It's impossible to play!

Moreover, compared to the introverted Tianxia, America is inherently flamboyant and has absolute initiative in international public opinion.

Except for Tianxia, the world's largest social networking site, the largest video sharing site, and the largest microblog community are all American.

These are all public opinion battlefields, and it's impossible to play.

Although he was completely suppressed, Tang Chao didn't intend to give up like this, and he had already determined that the other party was here to make trouble, so he had to accept the challenge.

Actually, he didn't know if they were here to make trouble, but the reason why America did this was indeed related to him.

Accurately speaking, it was because he sold the Long March 9 technology to Tianxia.

Since Tianxia announced the Long March 9 and the manned lunar landing plan within two years, President D. Trump felt very uncomfortable.

The international information heat began to shift to Tianxia. Tianxia may achieve a manned lunar landing before America returns to the moon. This is what he and Congress cannot tolerate.

So after several meetings with his think tank, he successfully confronted Congress and obtained a large amount of financial appropriation.

He first invested a lot of money in the return-to-the-moon program to speed up the pace, and at the same time, he had to think of a plan to regain the information hotspot.

Then there was this "Moon Grand Prix" restart plan.

It has to be said that 50 million US dollars is indeed attractive, and the possible billions of dollars in orders afterward are even more attractive.

The reason why this Grand Prix is said to be "restart" is because there was a failed Moon Grand Prix before.

The last Moon Grand Prix stipulated sending a lunar rover to the moon, walking a distance of 500 meters on the moon, and transmitting 1GB of images and TV signals back to Earth.

Because no team succeeded by the deadline, the Grand Prix was declared a failure, and 30 million US dollars was not spent.

The last time was also aimed at the global private sector and non-governmental entities to promote the development of the commercial space industry and stimulate non-governmental lunar landing projects.

This time is the same, and perhaps there will be an additional purpose of competing for world hotspots.

Judging from the current situation, President D. Trump's goal has been achieved.

Before the press conference was over, this matter was on the hot search on major social networking sites around the world. Of course, it was mainly on the hot search on American social networking sites, which is basically equivalent to the whole world.

Tianxia's Weibo was also on the hot search. After all, President D. Trump is a person who lives on the hot search all year round, even more powerful than those top traffic stars with hundreds of millions of fans.

But powerful is powerful, and the lunar landing still depends on technology.

After watching the video, everyone in the conference room was looking at Tang Chao, while Tang Chao was in a pensive mood.

He was thinking about how to fight back!

"Lunar landing..."

He bit his thumbnail, scratched his slightly long hair with the other hand, and suddenly slapped his forehead, thinking of a good idea.

"Haha, lunar landing, you're not a hero if you don't reach the moon, the way to fight back is right here!"

The others looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with the big boss. Was he too stressed and collapsed?

Tang Chao didn't collapse. He had a good idea.

He patted the table, his confident and firm eyes swept over everyone, "Everyone, since America is making trouble for us, then we will go and make trouble for America, and we will also use their venue to promote ourselves!"

"Jingjing, recruit people. Start recruiting aerospace technicians tomorrow. I want to form a team to participate in this Moon Grand Prix, and I want to win the championship and win the order!"

"When the time comes, the people of the world will find that America's return to the moon depends on us to transport them. See who's embarrassed!"
