Chapter 471 Quality Duo

Although space agencies and private space companies in various countries have been very active recently, whether it is this plan or the rocket, they give people a very busy feeling.

Because the national finance has increased financial allocations and shareholders of private companies have also increased their investments, they have money to work and do new research and experiments.

However, Chinese netizens feel that all their actions and remarks reveal this sentiment, that is, these days will soon be over.

The main reason is that these acts of adding money are not given proactively, but passively.

Arc Light Aerospace is stretching above, and there are people below urging us, so it won’t work if we don’t rush.

The private groups are a little better. At least they have been led by Arclight Aerospace to see a corner of the future and the huge profits in the future, which makes them very excited.

Although we are lagging behind a little now, the universe is huge and arc-light spaceflight cannot take up all of it.

As for face, how much is it worth? Just be timid now and you can earn thousands of times the profit by then.

The national space agencies are different. Their functions are different from those of private space companies. Sometimes they don’t even talk about profits, but for the “interests” of scientific research and the “interests” of the country. There is also a more straightforward “ face".

"Face" is no longer the face that ordinary people understand when it reaches the national level. "Face" at the national level can bring about and destroy many things.

And now that wars between big countries are no longer possible, this thing has become the main means of competition between big countries. It is also a means of display and can also be used to win over some small countries.

So for this "face", I have to pay a lot of things. For example, I am now being urged by the people, and they are even urging and scolding me.

In particular, the United States has been pushed the hardest. Their people have the biggest gap. They used to be the first to do well, but now they are overtaken.

Not to mention the great achievements of the United States in the field of deep space exploration, which are invisible to the public, but they can clearly see the huge space station in space that changes every day.

Although there are not many live broadcasts now, some small video clips are released by Arclight Aerospace every day. Every time they are released, you can see the new changes of the new space station.

Can the people not be impatient?

It is said that the United States is the first in aerospace strength, but what about the aerospace strength of a country that can even surpass the aerospace strength of a private company?

How come it was overtaken by a private company?

………………

"How is the external public relations situation now? Has the situation eased?" asked Erland, the deputy director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration responsible for coordinating the internal and external work of the agency.

Now NASA is holding meetings almost every day to deal with the surging public opinion.

"The public relations department is still trying its best, but the effect is not very satisfactory," a staff member who participated in the meeting replied, "but the president's office has already received more than 100,000 signatures. I think they will help us share the burden. a little."

"Hell, don't expect anything from the President's Office. The explanation they are going to give us is still to question us," Erland leaned on his seat and rubbed his brows and sighed, "Isn't there any news that makes me happy? ? By the way, has Congress’s second increase in appropriation arrived? Didn’t it say it would arrive today?”

"Already here, Deputy Director Adlan, arrived two hours ago," the staff member in charge of finance reported hurriedly.

"Great, finally some good news." Erland sat up straight again, then looked at Victor sitting next to him and said, "Victor, how is the technological progress in your technology bureau? Are you ready?"

"Now our technology bureau is making rapid progress. Our theoretical data and theoretical research are very sufficient. After the funding is received, many shelved projects have begun to be put into actual operation." Victor said calmly.

"It'll be fine soon. I'm really annoyed and have a headache. Can this matter be solved by urging?" Adlan leaned on the chair again and sighed.

"Haha," Victor smiled and said, "Who says it's not the case, but who put us in this system? There are advantages and disadvantages."

When we competed with Lao Maoxiong in aerospace technology, we spent money like water, and the people didn't say anything. Especially after spending a lot of money to land on the moon, that kind of pride can almost knock down the house.

But when the old bear fell and the United States became the world's number one in aerospace capabilities, and when it was about to conduct more in-depth research, the people felt that too much money was spent, thinking that the money was their hard-earned tax money. , even used it in space where nothing can be seen. This is not a disease, and using it for medical treatment and welfare is the right way.

As a result, Congress allocated less and less funding, and allocated a lot of space for the development of aerospace technology, allowing other countries to catch up with their aerospace capabilities.

Now that I am so stimulated by Arclight Aerospace's super space station, and I feel that the development of my country's aerospace technology is slow, I have begun to urge it every day.

Damn it...it's you who says everything.

The meeting ended soon after. Everyone who had finished the meeting went down to work one after another. Only Elland and Victor were left in the conference room to pack their things.

Adlan came to Victor's side and said, "Hey, Victor, can your technology bureau recruit more engineers to make their progress faster and come up with a scientific and technological achievement for the people as soon as possible?" Let me explain, how about I consider giving you an extra 2% of the allocation?"

"2%? Why are you so generous all of a sudden?" Victor asked in surprise.

"Isn't there nothing we can do? Alas, you are not responsible for handling external relations. You don't know how much pressure we are under now." Adlan said with a sigh.

"Although I really want the 2% allocation, there is nothing I can do here," Victor said, leaning towards him and whispering, "Have you forgotten? We are still in charge over there." Project Reef," there was simply no spare manpower."

Erland was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head, "God, I've been so busy these days, I almost forgot about this. Did it go well? I've been busy with other things these days, and I almost forgot about it. I came here urgently to ask about the progress, does it still need our help?"

"Not yet, the progress is going very smoothly," Victor shook his head, then hesitated and said, "It's just that I feel that there are more and more doubts about this plan now, so I reported it to the tactical director Bretta designated above. , but he hasn’t changed anything and is still proceeding as planned..."

"Suspicious? What did you find?"

Erland asked curiously, and then stopped Victor before he could speak, "Wait, don't say it, this is beyond my management and authority, it's better that I don't know."

"Uh..." Victor choked on the words as soon as they reached his mouth, "You're right."

"Since you have fulfilled your obligations, let's go according to the plan. And you just have suspicions and no conclusive evidence, right?" Ella asked.

"Yes, it's just suspicion." Victor said honestly.

"That's okay, then continue to act according to the plan, listen to that Buletta's command, and don't hesitate, this will be good for you," Erland advised Victor.

While they were talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the conference room and said, "Deputy Director Erland, Deputy Director Victor, the director asked you to go to his office immediately. He said there is an urgent video conference."

"Okay, let's go right away."

When they arrived at the director's office, they found that all the deputy directors in the space agency had arrived.

They frowned and realized that this matter was not simple.

Because this kind of formation is too rare.

Only after the video conference started did they realize that such an urgent video conference was actually because of the latest news from the Chinese Space Administration.

"China's moon landing plan has been advanced!"
