Universe dominance

More than 20 lunar rovers loaded with supplies drove out of Chang'e City on the moon. More than 20 wealthy people in space suits controlled the lunar rovers to move forward through virtual machines.

"Haha, let's go. I'll lead the way in front. Everyone line up in a long line."

Bezos said excitedly in the public call channel. There is no air on the moon, so the calls between each other outside Chang'e City can only be realized through radio.

Of course, China has established a global positioning system and a global communication system on the moon at this time. They can not only chat with each other, but also connect to the network on the earth through virtual machines and interact with the earth.

The lunar rover driven by Bezos is specially modified. The device in front is similar to a bulldozer, which can push away some rocks blocking the road on the moon. Large rocks that cannot be pushed away can only be detoured.

At this time, Bezos drove his lunar rover to lead the way in front, and did not forget to take pictures of the convoy behind him with his camera, and then connected to the virtual machine to start updating his homepage, circle of friends, etc.

"We set off with full loads of supplies. We are still 180 kilometers away from our base. According to the current speed, it will take about 4 hours to arrive. China's lunar rover is too slow."

Bezos showed the photos, the planned route and the approximate time point one by one, and finally couldn't help complaining. He didn't know that the lunar rover had been improved for several generations. If it was the first generation of lunar rover, it would be slower.

Each lunar rover is relatively large, about the same size as a large shovel. It can not only carry loads, but also has two mechanical arms and many functions. Mining, digging soil, drilling holes, cutting stones, etc. are completely no problem. It is a comprehensive engineering vehicle with many functions.

Of course, the most important function of this lunar rover is the life support function. There is also a separate life support system on the lunar rover, which can be started in an emergency. The power is a magnetic field battery, which is enough to last for hundreds of hours.

At NASA headquarters in Uncle Sam's country, everyone was looking at the big screen, which was showing the images monitored by the lunar satellite. On the airless moon, the satellite in space could clearly capture everything on the lunar surface.

The fleet of more than 20 huge lunar rovers naturally could not escape the eyes of the satellite. The picture was very clear. On one side was the picture of the convoy moving forward, and on the other side was a lunar map with a red dot constantly moving towards the green dot.

"The materials they purchased this time are very large. If we use rockets to launch spacecraft to transport them, we will need to launch dozens of times to transport such a large amount of materials to the moon. The financial resources consumed will exceed more than 200 billion, and we can save nearly 2 years in time. In this way, we are actually taking a big advantage."

Lawrence looked at the picture and felt a little emotional. He never thought that it could be operated in this way.

"Yes! We have taken a big advantage this time, but when we think about China's space technology, we don't feel happy at all. They have aerospace planes, and the transportation cost is very low. They have a huge advantage in the space competition." James nodded and couldn't help sighing. "Is it really impossible for us to get aerospace planes? If we still rely on traditional rocket technology to launch spacecraft, we will eventually find it difficult to survive in this fierce space race. The cost is too high!" "Especially once the lunar base is built, we have people stationed there for a long time, and we must regularly transport materials and personnel there. Our expenses in this regard alone are enough to drag us down." Lawrence seemed worried. He was an important person in charge of NASA. Of course, he knew that building a base on the moon was completely a waste of money. It would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in it. Even Uncle Sam, who was rich, could not withstand such a huge investment, not to mention that Uncle Sam's economy was getting worse and worse, and the domestic situation was getting worse and worse. "The G20 summit will be held soon, and I think there should be some changes." James said affectionately. As an important official in Uncle Sam's government, he certainly knows some very important information. On the other side of the ocean, at the Chinese Space Agency, when the huge amount of funds of more than 150 billion US dollars arrived, the entire aerospace department couldn't help cheering. Such a huge amount of funds is enough for China to do a lot of things. Especially now that the funds earned by the aerospace department belong only to the aerospace department, although the above allocations are very large, all aspects still seem a bit stretched, but since the start of lunar tourism, the funds in all aspects seem to be more sufficient. This time, more than 150 billion US dollars of huge funds have arrived, and there is even a surplus at once, which can speed up their own space progress and do some things that they couldn't do before because of the shortage of funds. "Tell Li Fu, this kid, to quickly produce aerospace planes for me. Don't think I don't know his production. Sell me 100 Hercules aerospace planes first."

Tang Yunshan holds a huge amount of funds in his hands, and the first thing he thinks of is purchasing aerospace aircraft. The more aerospace aircraft there are, the greater China's power in space will be.

"With food in hand, I feel more confident when talking. Space planes need to be purchased, and the mining of lunar resources needs to be stepped up. Rare earths are good things."

"Well, there are also iron ore resources on the moon. If the iron ore is smelted on the moon, it can then be used to build Chang'e City on the moon, and can also be used to build space factories in space, etc."

"Uncle Sam has occupied the Wells area. It seems that it is time for us to build other moon cities. Anyway, let's occupy the good places first. There will be many countries announcing manned moon landings next year. , polar bears, chickens, India, and the European Union, all are not to be outdone.”

"Humph! I'll occupy all the good places first, and I'll make you anxious to death."

Tang Yunshan, the person in charge of China's space field, can be said to be rich and powerful at this time, and his little calculations are ringing in his heart.

…

The Lunar Wells area is where Uncle Sam's manned lunar landing is, which is where Uncle Sam's lunar base is. The three astronauts, Alan Glenn, John Shepard, and Guyon Collins, have been on the moon for a day and a night. Except for their rest time, they spent most of their time building a lunar base.

At this time, a lunar base that is not very large in scale but has very complete functions has almost begun to take shape. They only need to continue working for another day or so, and the lunar base will be almost complete and can be stationed there for a long time.

"Hey guys, it's break time. Let's take a rest. I have some good news to tell you."

Alan~Glen stopped what he was doing and called his two teammates over through the communicator. Just now, he received news from the earth that someone would come to visit them. The reason why he did not tell them in advance was to let them know. They can work with peace of mind, but the convoy of Bezos and others will arrive soon, so it doesn't matter if they are told now.

"What's the good news?"

John Shepard couldn't help but smile and asked, what could be considered good news in this desolate moon.

"Haha, we'll have steak for lunch later."

Alan~Glenn continues to lie.

"Steak? God, my mouth is watering just talking about it, but where does the steak come from on the moon?"

Gain~Collins couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He had been eating compressed food every day for the past few days and felt bad. Now when he heard about steak, he naturally drooled.

"Haha, the moon takeout I ordered came from Chang'e City on the Chinese Moon. It's here!"

Alan Glenn looked in the direction of Chang'e City on the moon. After several hours of travel, the convoy of Bezos and others finally arrived. More than 20 lunar rovers lined up in a long queue and drove rapidly on the desolate surface of the moon.

"Oh, God!"

The other two people also saw it at this time, and they couldn't help but marvel. They could actually see a convoy driving towards them on this extremely desolate moon, and their heavy hearts these days suddenly relaxed.

Soon, Bezos and others drove the lunar rover to the three of them. The three of them could not help but widen their eyes as they looked at the lunar rovers loaded with supplies. At this time, they had received relevant information. Detailed information.

"Hey guys, how are you?"

"Look what we brought you, steak, how do you like it? Do you like this gift?"

Bezos and others stepped off the lunar rover and came over to say hello.

"Wow, I love you guys so much. Thank you so much."

Alan and Glenn went up to greet them. Both of them were wearing thick spacesuits, so they could only fist bump each other to express their inner feelings. This scene was just captured by the camera that had been prepared and sent to the earth. Here, the whole country of Uncle Sam suddenly burst into joy.

"On the moon 380,000 kilometers away, Alan Glenn and Jeff Bezos' fistfight marked the beginning of a new chapter in human history. We can already fight with each other on a distant planet. Move around, and soon the moon will become like the earth and become our new home."

The latest issue of Time magazine very decisively adopted this photo as its cover, and paired it with passionate text to announce the arrival of a new era.
