Chapter 339 President: I’m Tired, Why Am I the One Being Wronged? (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

When Bill returned to the bureau, he called for Mark almost immediately.

“How soon are you going to send volunteers to the moon?”

"At least three months later, after the volunteers go up, I plan to let them carry out further base construction tasks on the moon."

Bill stared at him and said word by word: "You don't plan to use a robot?"

"Of course not." Mark said confidently: "The human body has much more potential than robots."

Bill frowned, doubt flashing in his eyes. He understood what Mark meant, but deep down in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong.

If brain-computer technology is really that good, why don't Luo Yao and the others use it?

The environment on the moon is extremely harsh, and it is still unknown whether humans can fully adapt to it. Robots, at least in theory, can withstand more extreme conditions.

"But you know, the lunar environment is very harsh for humans." Bill tried to sound calm. "Robots can withstand radiation, work in an oxygen-free environment, and can continue to work without rest. But not humans.”

Mark smiled, his face full of confidence.

"I understand your concerns, Bill, but it is precisely because of these challenges that our volunteer mission is full of value. Human beings need challenges and risks to find possibilities in the unknown."

"Moreover, only humans can truly understand and feel the moon, and robots can never replace it."

"In the future, humans will colonize the moon, not robots."

"Okay, Mark, I trust your judgment, but I hope you do a good job in all aspects. I don't want to see outsiders speculating about this."

Of course Mark knew what the other person was referring to, "I will, Mr. Bill, I promise."

After Mark left, Bill did not relax because according to the old man's words, he had to reach cooperation with Luo Yao's team.

Although Mark's moon landing plan is ambitious, the specific implementation timetable is still full of uncertainty, so they have to take advantage of now to find Luo Yao to cooperate.

In the words of the old gentleman, everything about Blue Star belongs to them, and technology is no exception.

Now we need to find a way to pretend to be good to the other party and get the key technologies for landing on the moon and building a lunar base.

Of course, cooperating with Luo Yao's team is not easy. They have often caused obstacles for Luo Yao's company and hindered the other party's development.

If they want to cooperate with Luo Yao, they can only use courtesy first and then attack.

After Bill sent an email hoping to explore the moon together with Luo Yao's team, it didn't take long for him to receive a reply.

"There's a meeting the day after tomorrow morning?"

"Are you going to the capital of China?"

Bill was a little dissatisfied. He thought this meeting was an online meeting, but this time he actually had to go to the other party's place.

so troublesome.

But Bill knew that he would have to go no matter how troublesome it was.

Bill took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction. He understood that the meeting with Luo Yao's team was a key step in obtaining key technologies. Even if he needed to go to the other party's place for a meeting, he had to go there in person.

This time, generally speaking, the other party will arrange to meet alone, which is also beneficial to him.

He quickly arranged his itinerary and prepared to go to the capital of China.

Although he was a little dissatisfied, Bill also knew that this was the price they had to pay in order to achieve their goals.

No matter how uncomfortable he was, he could only endure it and stay calm.

On the plane to the capital of China, Bill carefully reviewed the previous interaction records with Luo Yao's team, trying to find possible points of cooperation.

He understands that if he wants the other party to cooperate with them sincerely, he must first find the common interests of both parties and establish a true relationship of trust.

The plane landed at the airport in the capital of China, and Bill immediately felt the impact of this ancient country on him.

Bill was shocked by the futuristic cityscape of China's capital, as if he had entered a high-tech dream. When he walked out of the airport, he saw towering smart buildings, each with huge holograms on them. Projected ads are dazzling.

On both sides of the street, intelligent robots shuttle busily, some are responsible for cleaning the road, and some are assisting pedestrians to cross the road. They work extremely efficiently and interact with people very naturally.

Bill also saw some unmanned flying cars flying in the sky, following preset routes to safely deliver passengers to their destinations.

"Is this a flying car?" Bill instantly knew that this was Luo Yao's previous masterpiece.

The person who came to pick them up looked at the sky and said without surprise: "Yes, this is a major innovation in the field of transportation in China in recent years."

"The people in Academician Luo Yao's team have made outstanding contributions, making flying cars from science fiction to reality. Now, these flying cars have become an important part of our urban public transportation, greatly alleviating the pressure on ground transportation, and at the same time, People are provided with more convenient and efficient ways to travel."

"You actually allow them to fly in the air? Aren't you afraid of collisions in the air?"

The other party looked at Bill strangely and said, "Don't you know there is an artificial intelligence automatic route planning and avoidance system?"

Bill's face felt slightly warm.

Their artificial intelligence has not yet reached the level of large-scale commercial use, which is why Mark would rather use brain-computer technology to transform the human body than use robots, because the technology has not reached that point yet.

"Our cars are all assisted by artificial intelligence systems, so you don't have to worry about this."

"By the way, Mr. Bill, the person coming to pick you up this time is also a flying car. Please come on."

They boarded the flying car. The interior space was spacious and comfortable. The seats were made of high-grade materials and felt soft and comfortable when sitting on them. The flying car started slowly. Bill looked through the car window and watched the scenery on the ground gradually getting smaller. He felt extremely nervous. .

It didn't take long for him to be surprised to find that flying cars were much more stable than ordinary cars!

Bill, who had just felt the surprise, felt depressed for a while.

Why did he come to China like a country bumpkin entering the city?

Why did China develop faster than them without knowing it?

What Bill couldn't figure out was that although foreigners had been worried that the products manufactured by Luo Yao would cause problems such as information security, traffic safety, and financial security, China had never stopped implementing the products developed by Luo Yao.

In their words, it would be foolish not to use high technology.

Bill immediately understood that when it came to the free market, they seemed to be no better than here.

Chinese people have been beaten up all the time, why do they feel like they have killed everything now?

After arriving at the meeting place, Bill, who was secretly unhappy, looked at the huge conference room and said with some surprise: "Isn't this a private meeting? Why prepare such a big place?"

Bill's doubts were answered in the other party's smile. The other party explained: "Mr. Bill, there are many people attending this meeting, and there may not be room for small meetings."

"Not meeting alone?" Bill thought to himself that he had come all the way here and actually arranged to meet with other people.

Where is his face?

The other party seemed to see Bill's dissatisfaction. He smiled and said: "Mr. Bill, please understand that this meeting is not only to communicate with you alone, but also to give you the opportunity to communicate with some of our important partners in China." Share and communicate together.”

"We greatly value our cooperation with you and believe that this arrangement will make your visit more fulfilling and meaningful."

Pay attention to?

Why can't he see it?

"No, I hope to meet with your people, especially Academician Luo Yao, alone."

Facing Bill's tough request, the receptionist didn't panic at all.

"Sorry Mr. Bill, the meeting arrangements are unified. If you are unwilling to attend, I will arrange a return flight for you."

Bill:? ? ?

How dare you!

He just landed and you want to send him away?

Bill had never experienced such cowardice, but for the sake of his plan, he had to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart and responded calmly: "I understand your arrangement, but I also very much hope to have a private meeting with Academician Luo Yao. communication.”

"The purpose of my trip is to discuss cooperation matters with him in depth. If you cannot meet this request, then this meeting will be meaningless."

After hearing this, the receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Bill, please be patient."

"Our arrangement is indeed to allow all participants to get the maximum value. As our important guest, Academician Luo Yao's time is very precious, and we need to respect his arrangement."

Bill understood. What the other party meant was that Luo Yao was not someone he could see if he wanted to.

You can only listen to other people's opinions on other people's territory, so Bill could only sit in the front row in frustration.

After a while, people from other countries' aerospace departments also came. When everyone saw Bill sitting there, they all had meaningful smiles on their faces.

It turns out that the Chou people, like them, also want to come to Luo Yao's team to cooperate.

It seems that Ugly Country’s technology is really failing!

After a while, Director Kang and Shan Xing from the Lao Zhoupai Space Center came to the scene together.

Director Kang asked Shan Xing in a low voice before taking the stage: "These people today are all here for Academician Luo. Aren't we just talking nonsense here?"

"We have to keep talking nonsense. We have been assigned tasks from above, so we have to bite the bullet and do it."

Shan Xing cleared his throat and said, "Welcome to this meeting."

"I know that you are here this time to cooperate with Academician Luo Yao on a lunar base project. You may wish to share your thoughts so that we can know your plans after arriving on the moon."

The first person to speak was the representative of Ouzhou Space Administration. He introduced in detail Ouzhou's rich experience in lunar exploration and scientific research.

What is striking is that he also spoke in Chinese.

He mentioned that they have accumulated a large amount of data on the lunar terrain, geology and atmosphere through exploration. They hope to jointly carry out scientific research on the lunar base with Luo Yao's team and use Ouzhou's technology and equipment to contribute to the construction of the lunar base. Provide strong support.

"I believe that space exploration is a long-term and arduous task, and your international cooperation is the most effective way to share costs and achieve results."

Director Kang and Shan Xing looked at each other, thinking about Ouzhou's skills?

Their skills are not as good as his ability to speak Chinese, so who dares to cooperate with them?

Moreover, the cost of their space exploration is really not high because of Luo Yao.

Luo Yao's robot dogs and robots can complete multiple tasks such as building houses, exploring, and mining ores on the moon. The power used is also provided by nuclear fusion miniaturization devices.

Now the biosphere project is also going to the sky. Soon they will be able to achieve self-sufficiency on the lunar surface, greatly reducing the cost of lunar exploration.

Who still needs the things from Oukong Bureau?

Director Kang clearly remembered that when these people came to cooperate with them before, they didn’t want to do anything but only wanted to share the results.

Later, Baixiang’s aerospace representative also took the stage to speak. He mentioned Baixiang’s achievements in satellite technology and space communications, and expressed Baixiang’s willingness to provide communication and data transmission support for the lunar base.

He also emphasized Baixiang’s ambitions in space exploration and hoped that through cooperation with Academician Luo Yao, we can jointly promote the pace of human exploration of the universe.

Who would believe that this pie was painted?

Shan Xing wondered if Bai Xiang had forgotten that some remote areas of their satellite communications could only rely on Luo Yao's Lingxi communications to achieve communications?

With this level of technology, do you still want to compete with them in the satellite communications pie?

"Why did Mr. Luo agree to let them come to the meeting?" Director Kang didn't understand. Wasn't this asking the other party to tell jokes? ,

Shan Xing looked helpless and replied in a low voice: "Maybe it's because he wants to understand their technological level."

"Their level? Do you mean they can cause explosions wherever they go?"

"We don't dare to let people like this go to the moon." Director Kang was frightened when he thought of Bai Xiang's expertise.

Then, Alexander, the head of the Space Commission from Daxiong, also came to the stage to speak.

He emphasized Daxiong’s advantages in aerospace and heavy-lift rocket technology, and expressed his willingness to provide strong carrying capacity and life support systems to ensure the smooth construction and operation of the lunar base.

He also specifically mentioned the history of cooperation with China in the aerospace field and expressed his desire to further strengthen cooperation between the two parties.

Shan Xing knew the agreement between Daxiong and Luo Yao, so he rarely said: "Mr. Alexander, you can rest assured that you will always be welcome in our moon base."

Alexander was overjoyed, knowing that they would definitely be able to go to the moon this time!

It seems that they really made the right bet before and they were right not to cooperate with the ugly people! They hit the mark this time!

Seeing this situation, Bill thought that the Chinese seemed to be cooperating with the Big Bear. They could not lag behind the Big Bear, so he stood up, cleared his throat and said: "My colleagues, on behalf of NASA, I would like to express our deepest concern for the moon." Great interest and unwavering support for the base project.”

"Our country has rich experience and resources in aerospace technology, space exploration and international cooperation. We are willing to share these results with China and partners from other countries to jointly promote the construction and development of lunar bases."

Before Shan Xing could say anything, the White Elephant representative just now said unconvincingly: "Since you are so powerful, why are you still cooperating on the moon base project? Wouldn't it be better to build one yourself?"

Everyone present was stunned.

The top spot among Blue Star’s Lengtouqing must belong to White Elephant!

They were the only ones who dared to directly ask ugly people about such a heart-wrenching topic face to face.

Director Shan Xing and Director Kang looked at the sullen expression on Bill's face and had no intention of opening their mouths to help him. Instead, they wanted to watch the show.

Bill was angry at first, but thinking that so many people were watching, he quickly put on a smile and responded: "Your point of view is actually wrong. Indeed, Ugly Country has certain strength and experience in the aerospace field."

"However, the lunar base project is a large and complex project that requires joint efforts and collaboration from all countries. Although our country has some technological and resource advantages, it also faces many challenges and difficulties."

"Through cooperation with China and partners from various countries, we can share resources, share risks, jointly overcome various difficulties, and achieve the smooth construction of the lunar base project."

After hearing this, the White Elephant representative frowned slightly, as if he was not completely convinced of Bill's explanation.

He continued to ask: "So, what role does your country intend to play in the lunar base project? What specific support and help will it provide?"

Bill sneered: "Our country will make full use of its aerospace technology, space scientific research capabilities and rich international cooperation experience to provide all-round support for the lunar base project."

"We will dispatch a professional technical team to participate in the design and construction of the lunar base, provide advanced launch vehicles and space life support systems, and also share our latest achievements and experience in space scientific research. Chairman Shan, Director Kang, you What do you two think?"

Shan Xing, who was asked, said: "We can't make the decision on this. Everything needs to be according to Academician Luo's instructions."

Bill's brows furrowed, and the dissatisfaction was clearly visible on his face. He originally thought that with Chou's strong strength in the aerospace field, he would be able to get an enthusiastic response and great attention from China. However, Shan Xing's answer surprised and disappointed him.

This kind of treatment is even worse than that of a big bear!

Bill thought for a moment and felt that there was definitely a reason for the other party to do this!

"President Shan, when you say this, are you looking for an excuse not to let Academician Luo Yao cooperate with us?"

Shan Xing:......

At this moment, Shan Xing felt like a big injustice.

He was obviously just telling the truth, so why didn't the other party believe him?

Are you still making excuses not to let Luo Yao cooperate with the other party?

Does he have that much power?

I'm tired. Is he the one who was wronged?

He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Bill, I have no excuse or intention to prevent cooperation with your country. I am just stating the facts. As the person in charge of the project, Academician Luo's decision-making is crucial and none of us have the right to do so." put one's oar in."

"Moreover, our cooperation is based on equality, mutual benefit and respect. We will not favor or neglect any party because of the strength or status of any country."

"This time I come to you. In addition to listening to your ideas, I also want to establish an Outer Space Development Administration."

As soon as Shan Xing finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. Representatives from various countries exchanged glances, obviously surprised by the suddenly proposed concept of "Outer Space Development Administration."

Upon seeing this, Shan Xing continued to explain: "The Outer Space Development Administration will be responsible for coordinating cooperation between countries in the lunar base project and other outer space development projects. It will ensure fairness and transparency in cooperation, promote resource sharing and Technical exchanges to promote the process of outer space development.”

What Shan Xing did not explain was that this plan was actually related to Luo Yao's proposal of a lunar base.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Luo Yao's moon base plan, Lao Zhou proposed the "Outer Space Development Administration" plan.

Sometimes being a leader is not as glamorous as it seems!

Especially when meeting someone as whimsical as Luo Yao!
