Super technology leader

"……The theme of this conference is 'Bringing the Moon Closer to Us.' Thinking back to the last Grand Prix, our theme was similar, but it didn't succeed last time."

"It's okay. Only through failure can we achieve success next time. The history of human spaceflight is built upon continuous learning from failures, which has brought us to where we are today."

"Technology is constantly evolving. Space technology today is far more advanced than it was a few years ago. More capable private space companies have emerged internationally. We believe the time has come to bring the moon closer to us."

"Therefore, we have restarted the Lunar Grand Prix."

"In the past, the moon has always been there, but only national organizations could land on it. However, after this competition, I believe that even without national support, more private companies will have the capability to land on the moon…"

On the stage, a guest invited by the Lunar Grand Prix Committee was speaking eloquently.

Below the stage, rows of participating team members wearing masks listened attentively.

They occasionally offered enthusiastic applause.

Today's meeting wasn't just about discussing the Lunar Grand Prix. In fact, some other matters were also discussed, such as the future development of private spaceflight and the future of lunar commercialization, all centered around private spaceflight.

Of course, the main focus today was still the Lunar Grand Prix. After this wave of discussion, it would be the turn of the Lunar Grand Prix participating teams to speak.

The first to speak was a large company, Deep Blue Origin. The speaker was none other than its CEO, the world-renowned wealthy individual, "Bald Bezos."

This over-fifty-year-old magnate, sporting his signature bald head, stepped onto the stage with a smile and said, "Thank you to the Grand Prix Committee for the invitation to speak. Actually, I'm a bit embarrassed to participate in this Lunar Grand Prix, so I've decided to announce some design plans for 'Blue Moon' at this conference to provide some lunar lander design ideas for the participating teams present…"

"嘶——"

"wooo~"

"嗡嗡嗡~"

As soon as these words came out, the people below began to discuss.

Good heavens, everyone present knew what this "Blue Moon" was.

Despite the straightforward name, it was a good piece of equipment.

This was the result of several years of design work by Deep Blue Origin. This large lander can fly autonomously in space and can carry a maximum payload of 6.5 tons to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface.

It is a general-purpose landing platform that can carry 4 lunar rovers or various instruments and equipment. Equipped with a manned ascent vehicle, it can achieve manned lunar landing.

Therefore, it would naturally be more than capable for this mission. By slightly modifying a smaller cargo ascent vehicle, it could become the participating equipment for this Lunar Grand Prix.

However, although the overall progress of the probe is fast, they also want to save face. They don't want to win the competition using other companies' rockets but want to use their own company's rockets to send their own company's probe to the moon.

According to recent reports, their New Glenn heavy rocket is scheduled to fly next year, making them highly competitive in this competition.

Under these circumstances, they were actually going to announce some design plans for "Blue Moon" to speed up the manufacturing progress of other teams and increase the success rate of other teams…

It must be said that this kind of magnanimity is quite admirable.

"Blue Moon" is very close to the traditional lander design and is also the research direction of various small teams. After all, similar solutions have successful precedents and do not require prior testing, which is very friendly to small teams.

If this disclosure contains useful information, even if it's just a little, all teams will remember Deep Blue Origin's favor, even if they don't succeed.

Impressive!

The discussion started quickly and died down quickly, as everyone waited to hear Bezos's useful information.

And indeed, he provided a lot of useful information, which Tang Chao listened to with great interest.

After he finished speaking, the American Space Agency also sent someone to talk about some things, and then the morning passed.

This conference lasts for two days and has a lot to discuss. There will be speeches from two more large aerospace companies later, who will talk about a lot of things, and there will also be sponsorships from commercial rockets to help small teams land on the moon.

That is, Elon Musk of Space X.

The Grand Prix Committee does not provide meals, so each team needs to find their own food, which is considered a screening item in the "one-stop screening" process.

However, after they all walked out of the venue, the waiter informed them that they could go to the restaurant for a buffet, as someone was treating.

"Hey, wasn't it said that the conference wouldn't provide meals?"

"Yeah, was the previous notice wrong?"

"Impossible, I'm from the Grand Prix Committee, how could I not know if the committee is providing meals?"

"I inquired and found out that a wealthy person is paying for it, also a participating team."

The three Tianxia teams naturally came together, and the leader of the teacher team asked, "What do you think, should we go eat?"

"Of course, it's free food if a tycoon is treating," said the leader of the amateur scientist team.

Tang Chao had a slightly different opinion.

"Isn't it a bit dangerous to have a gathering in this situation? It was better when everyone was wearing masks in the venue before, but when eating, everyone has to take off their masks and touch plates and utensils. If there is an infected person among us, we will probably all be taken down."

Hearing Tang Chao say this, the other two teams looked at each other, and the leader of the teacher team nodded and said, "You're right, it is a bit dangerous. However, someone is making such a big show of treating us, it shouldn't be just a simple meal. I think we should still go take a look."

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

Both sides made sense, so the leader of the amateur scientist team, who advocated eating, said, "Then let's go see what the tycoon who is treating us plans to do. If there are many people, we'll figure out the situation and leave. If there are not many people, we'll eat something."

"When eating, it's best to only eat those freshly made, high-temperature sterilized foods, and find a corner with fewer people to eat."

After listening to what they said, Tang Chao pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's go take a look first."

In fact, he also felt that such a big show shouldn't be just a simple meal, so it would be good to go take a look.

When they arrived at the designated restaurant, they found that this tycoon had really invested a lot, actually booking the largest restaurant in the hotel.

Moreover, this person had also considered the situation they had thought of earlier, placing many temporary barrier posts in the restaurant, with barrier strips in the middle, dividing the restaurant into many small spaces.

And although it was said to be a buffet, it was actually an electronic menu at each table, ordering food to be sent here from the kitchen, but the dishes were in the form of a buffet.

There wouldn't be a bunch of people squeezing in the dish area to choose dishes, taking them and then putting them back if they didn't want to eat them. Toasting was also done from a distance, reducing the chance of cross-contact.

This setup was even bigger than they had imagined, and the more this was the case, the more certain they were that the tycoon who was treating them wasn't just treating them to a meal.

The few people looked at each other and felt that they had come to the right place.

Since the other party had already prepared everything, they naturally went in and found a table to sit down.

After that, two more groups of people came over, both looking like Asians. Seeing that they were also Asians, they sat with them.

After getting to know each other, they were from Sakura Country and Hibiscus Country respectively.

Well, in the past, the three countries were friendly to each other because of a third country. In the Asian monster room, because of historical reasons, the possibility of the three countries being friendly at the same time was low.

Only when they came to America, because of the characteristics of skin color and culture, would they come together.

Of course, this was only limited to folk groups with the same worldview and values.

After waiting for a while and chatting with each other about their team's lunar landing plans, the tycoon who was treating them arrived.

He was dressed very casually, spoke very casually, and was a casual young man who basically couldn't be seen as wealthy.

"Hahaha, I'm very happy to be able to invite you elites in the aerospace industry to dinner, but there's a small matter I need everyone's help with. My team is currently short of manpower, so I hope everyone can come and help me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Damn, making such a big show, it's actually a recruitment fair.

Tang Chao also silently complained: "This pretense is skillful."
