Chapter 454 Your courier is ready to receive orders

"This move of yours is quite damaging, Xiao Dong. And you also let the country take the blame with you. During this period, comrades working in the foreign affairs department have received a lot of protests. They are working overtime every day. It is too hard." .”

Seeing Mr. Zhao Gang say this with a smile on his face in the video, Dong Chen didn't feel like he was taking the blame, but more like he had stolen the pot from the other side.

"What you said makes no sense. I didn't do this with your consent in the first place," Dong Chen said speechlessly. "We have suffered a lot of losses now, and many foreign industries have been made things difficult."

Looking at Dong Chen's speechless expression, Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Haha, it doesn't matter. Haven't we been helping you put pressure on the other side? Now is the best time to bargain."

"We are different from before, haven't you noticed? Now they have been protesting against us."

"I noticed this," Dong Chen said, flipping through the computer next to him, "and there are quite a few, but what does this have to do with us?"

"Yes, although it has caused you some losses in this aspect, it is still in line with the national strategy. We can make up for it in other aspects."

As he spoke, Zhao Gang sent a document to Dong Chen, "What do you think of this order?"

Dong Chen opened the document he sent and looked at it in surprise, "Is this...the transportation contract for the Tiangong Space Station?"

"There's more behind you," Zhao Gang pointed at Dong Chen with a smile, "Look behind you, there's still more behind you."

Dong Chen flipped through the pages as he was told, and it turned out to be something special. If the first page was for appetizers, then the following pages would be full of hard dishes.

"The country wants to cooperate with us to build a space station? Isn't the Tiangong Space Station a very powerful project to demonstrate its strength? Why does it suddenly want to cooperate with us to build it? Isn't this a big step?"

Looking at Dong Chen's surprised expression, Zhao Gang also knew what he was thinking of, because this was indeed not in line with the "China" he understood, and it seemed to have changed.

But times are constantly advancing and changing. If China is still the same country as yesterday, then there may be no more China in the future.

Without the country, there is no future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang smiled and shook his head. He made a gesture of invitation to Dong Chen and said, "It's not big. You can read it first and then we can talk. There is already a very detailed introduction in it."

Seeing what Zhao Gang said, Dong Chen could only read it first, "Wait a moment, I'll finish it right away."

Zhao Gang just nodded, and then saw Dong Chen looking away from him and looking to the side.

Seeing Dong Chen frowning and checking carefully, Zhao Gang felt that such a genius and genius organization suddenly appeared when China was developing at a rapid pace. He really didn't know whether it was good or bad.

However, judging from the current development, the cooperation between the two parties is still very smooth, but some people cannot be allowed to turn a good thing into a bad thing.

While Zhao Gang was thinking about things, Dong Chen was also browsing these documents quickly. Unexpectedly, the determination above was quite strong.

The space station plan is a strong show of strength, but there are still more places to catch up, and the country cannot fully do this.

And after putting the core module of the space station into orbit, it has already shown the growth of China's aerospace strength, and it has the ability to independently complete the space station. Then the completion of the Tiangong Space Station will be a time-consuming matter, which consumes financial resources and There will be no shortage of time.

Now that the super-heavy rocket Long March 9 is almost completed, it is time to land on the moon. The Chinese have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Compared with the continued construction of the space station, landing on the moon is undoubtedly a more powerful display of strength, especially if it must be completed before the United States returns to the moon.

Compared with the United States during the Cold War, which mobilized the entire country to land on the moon, although the current moon landing will be much more mature, it still requires the coordination of multiple parties. Therefore, China wants to allocate manpower and funds from the space station project to ensure it with all its strength. Complete the moon landing mission as soon as possible.

This was unimaginable at the time, but China now has ArcLight Aerospace, which deploys satellites into the sky one by one. Obviously, the transportation cost is very small.

If the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Bureau had not sent someone to check that it was indeed a communications satellite, I would have thought that Arc Light Aerospace was doing something.

This also proves the strength of Arclight Aerospace, which is fully capable of taking over the task of building a space station, and even completing their own part of the construction and operation of the space station.

Now that the International Space Station is about to be decommissioned, it is said that it will wait until 2024, but everyone is not very willing to pay for it. Who knows how long it will last.

There was originally talk of selling it to a private company for operation, but the annual maintenance fees of tens to tens of billions of dollars are not that easy to pay, and the International Space Station only has so much space, and it is impossible to make money back from commercial operation. .

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a technical reason.

They believe that Dong Chen, or the "Zhan Lu Bureau", has the ability to use new technologies to complete the commercial operation of the space station.

What has not been completed abroad must be completed by China before them. In this era of relative peace among major powers, this kind of "face" competition is a very important way of fighting.

If it doesn't work, it won't be in vain, and you will know something.

As mentioned before, the construction of the space station is a demonstration of strength.

This... is also a test of strength, used to test the strength of the "war and neglect situation".

I don't know why, but Zhao Gang felt that "Zhan Lu Bureau" would definitely take over.

Sure enough, in the video, Dong Chen finished reading the document in a while, and then Zhao Gang watched him operate a few times on the computer, with a confident smile on his face.

Zhao Gang guessed that he was reporting the situation to the headquarters, and this confident smile... meant that Zhao Gang guessed correctly.

"Arclight Aerospace has taken over this matter."

"Okay, my guess is indeed correct," Zhao Gang said happily, "We will send someone here to discuss the specific matters immediately."

"Okay, how are the construction of the other two experimental cabins of the Tiangong Space Station? How about the following cabins?" Dong Chen nodded and asked.

"It's almost there. The original space station progressed very quickly, mainly because it was stuck on the launch vehicle. Now the "Xuntian" experimental module and "Wentian" experimental module have been built and are now undergoing final debugging. The last optical module It’s in the design stage now, but don’t worry about that, let’s finish assembling the basic cabin section first.”

Zhao Gang thought about the information he saw today and answered Dong Chen in the affirmative.

"Okay, our aerospace transport plane can take off at any time. As long as the cabin is ready, you can transport the cabin to a nearby airport, and the aerospace transport plane can go over, and then it can take off directly at that airport. "

Dong Chen swiped a few times on the screen next to him, looked at the recent flight missions, and gave Zhao Gang an accurate answer.

Uh... This aerospace transport plane is really useful.

Zhao Gang couldn't help but ask, "You really don't plan to sell some to us?"

"As long as you take care of the other four major streams...the four major countries, I have no objection." Dong Chen said indifferently.

"I think they don't want to see China having such overwhelming technology. If we really do that, they will probably jump over the wall."

"Instead of that, it is better to let it continue to shine in the civilian field. The country can also use this time to develop some other fields and strive to catch up in an all-round way."

"Unless the country is ready to fight them."

How could he not know what Dong Chen said? He just saw such a good thing as an aerospace plane and always wanted to use it in the military.

But the fact is that this epoch-making and overwhelming technology can only be controlled by private companies and used in the civilian field in this relatively balanced environment among various countries.

Once a country intends to use it for military purposes, those other countries will definitely unite to deal with you. Even if you can quickly transform technology into military strength, the fight will definitely be miserable.

This is called relative and fragile balance.
