Chapter 1400: Economic reasons

Qin Guan spread both hands: "No, but there is no way. Since you have proposed this outer space plan, we can only increase our investment in space for our own future. Could it be that you still have What better idea?"
Qin Guan's question made Aldrin's face embarrassed for a while, he already wanted to curse his mission.
He came here, and the task he accepted was to hinder Han's space program! Han is a terrible country. Once they decide what to do, they will spare no effort to advance. For example, Han was under blockade back then, but they tightened their belts, detonated nuclear and hydrogen bombs, and developed long-range launch vehicles. , He straightened his back completely, and now, the Kingdom of Han is actually starting to march into space again!
The Eagle Nation’s space program was meant to drag down the Bear Nation, not to cultivate a new competitor.
"Your space program has attracted many countries to join in, but we just didn't see our name on the list." Qin Guan continued.
The other party sent Aldrin here because of his status and prestige in aerospace. However, they didn't know that they should have sent a diplomatic expert. Send Aldrin, what can he do? Can you bargain with Qin Guan?
Aldrin had nothing to say. When they learned that Han had secretly reached an agreement with Xiong, when Xiong helped them train astronauts, everyone was surprised. Come here and listen. It is said that the spacecraft of the Han people must be built according to the design of the Xiong country spacecraft. It seems that they are moving closer to the Xiong country.
If the Han people move closer to the bear country in spaceflight, this is a terrible signal. Will the Han people move closer to the bear country in other fields?
This is the last thing the West wants to see.
"President Qin, I am here this time to protest to you. You cannot cooperate with the bear country, especially in the field of space. This is a challenge to our current world order." Aldrin said, he came to convey this request. We disagree with your cooperation with Xiong Country!
Qin Guan smiled: "I thought that you extended the hands of friendship to us and helped us. If we don't let us cooperate with Xiong Guo, it is very simple. What Xiong Guo promised us will be expensive. Fang can help."
Aldrin frowned, knowing that his hopes of coming this time might be shattered.
"What did Xiong State promise you?" Aldrin asked.
"What do you know?" Qin Guan asked back.
"Xiong Country helps you train astronauts. You did this very secretly, but we already know it." Aldrin said.
This idiot, what does the Eagle nation think? Qin Guan thought secretly in his heart that the other party had so many old political fritters, so he sent such a guy?
"Then you are willing to help us train ten astronauts?" Qin Guan said: "If you are willing, we will immediately terminate our cooperation with Xiong Guo."
Eagle country’s idea, of course, is to try to prevent Han from entering space, and Han country launches a few artificial satellites, then forget it. If Han country develops manned spaceflight and even develops a space station of hundreds of tons, then Han people may also Will develop various space weapons.
At that time, Eagle Country will be in great trouble.
Aldrin knew that Eagle Nation would never help them train astronauts, but now, what should I say?
Aldrin's brain was chaotic. Now, he even closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he finally found what he needed from the depths of his brain.
"The development of aerospace engineering requires a large amount of funds. Han is now engaged in reform and opening up, and is using all funds for construction. Once the aerospace engineering is developed, your economic construction will be greatly affected. "Aldrin said: "Do you know how much our Apollo moon landing program cost?"
Eagle country will not help Han to develop manned spaceflight, let alone train astronauts for Han country. Aldrin came here only because he has the identity of an astronaut on the moon.
As an overcomer, he explained from the perspective of economics that the space activities planned by the Han Chinese were quite unwise.
"Our Apollo project began in May 1961 and ended successfully on the sixth lunar landing in December 1972. It took about 11 years and cost 25.5 billion eagle yuan. At the peak of the project, 20,000 companies participated in the project. , More than 200 universities and more than 80 scientific research institutions, with a total number of more than 300,000 people." Aldrin is now polite.
At that time, the 25.5 billion eagle dollars would be more than 100 billion in future generations. This was definitely a huge sum of money. At that time, the Eagle Nation had done it with almost every effort.
So, what did Eagle Country get? About two tons of lunar rock and soil. Calculate the average value of 12,000 eagle yuan per gram. Although these lunar rocks and soils have certain scientific value, from an economic point of view, this is not worth the gain. "If it were not for political value, we would not have carried out this huge activity. Later, the plan was terminated early, and the last three lunar spacecraft did not perform their missions. It is because of economic reasons that the gains outweighed the losses." Aldrin said: "Now, it is extremely unwise for you to carry out this kind of space activities. As good friends, we do not want to see you go further and further down the wrong path."
The opponent is playing the emotional card, for your own consideration? Don't be kidding, the Eagle Nation’s defense against Han has never been eliminated. They just don’t want to see Han’s progress in aerospace, which is almost unacceptable to them.
Now, the other party wants it to stop planning and don't take out certain benefits. How can this work?
"Mr. Aldrin, you may have a misunderstanding." Qin Guan said: "Your system is different from ours, and your calculation method is also different from ours. You know, we relied on meagre investment back then. We completed the launch of the first artificial satellite. Our cost is not high, and even if it is high, we are not afraid. As long as the whole country is united and united, we will not be too far behind in this space race. Rise and catch up."
Qin Guan's attitude explains everything. We just want to do it. This is our internal affair. Your Eagle Nation has no right to interfere. If you don't help, it's impossible. It is impossible to stop our space program.
"Mr Qin, space investment is a bottomless pit. Do you really want to consume all resources into this plan at all costs?" At this moment, a person beside Aldrin said: "This is not in line with your policy direction, right?"
