Recently, the space has been screened by space elevators, and the attention to the Benu asteroid has not formed enough heat.

From the end of the world in 2000, to the unremarkable Christmas in 2012, people have been stunned by the ridiculous end of the baptism.

Even if Jiang Chen stood in front of the media, telling them that there was a colonial ship from the stars, flying from the 20.5 light years to the solar system for a century, it is estimated that people will smile at most, giving the director of the rich country. Long put a few labels like "humor" and "love to tell jokes".

Thanks to this, the voice of the irresponsible protest against the star trade is harsh, but not too strong.

However, this does not mean that some countries will give up this as an entry point and make irresponsible remarks about the "space hegemony" that the Star Ring trade is forming.

For example, the United States, such as their small partners EU, and Latin American countries.

ESA first protested the "irresponsible" behavior of the new country and asked the new country to explain the incident at the UN General Assembly in September this year.

The Chinese state only expressed its close attention to the progress of this incident and believed that the new parliament will properly handle the issue of the Beno asteroid. Considering the recent cooperation with Xinghuan Trade on the microgravity laboratory project, the diplomatic language of China is relatively peaceful, but it is apparent that it has pulled the Benu asteroid to the satellite society without any knowledge of the international community. There is some dissatisfaction in the Earth and Moon system.

The wording of the United States is quite tough, requiring the new country to immediately produce evidence to prove the safety of the Beno asteroid, otherwise nasa will begin to study the plan to destroy the Benu asteroid in outer space.

When I heard the trouble in Zhang Yaping's mouth, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed and shouted.

"Destroy? Where do I let them destroy, can they be destroyed?"

The difficulty of landing an asteroid is much more difficult than landing on a moon. It is even more difficult to transport enough explosives to blast. Jiang Chen certainly believes that Nasa has the strength to calculate the orbit of the asteroid, and believes that there is the ability to send the explosives.

but!

Send dozens of tons of special explosives up and install them? Just the Falcon 9th toothpick? I will send the US military expenses to the next year, and then give them two years to study the program. Two years to implement the plan, Jiang Chen is confident that they may really hope to blow up the Benu asteroid.

Anyway, his space elevator will not help send explosives.

Jiang Chen’s reply to Zhang Yaping is also very simple.

"The way to solve this problem is a word, drag."

"We have already started the mining program ahead of time, and we will openly edit the asteroid mining video."

"Don't they worry about being hit by asteroids? Then let them take a good look at the gap between indigenous and civilized people. When they see the strength of our knife on the asteroid, they won't be suspicious." It is."

"I will go to the future mining industry for a while, I will hang up first."

......

In the Pentagon, William James, wearing a Marine Corps uniform, was led by a civilian female secretary to the door of a conference room.

He had just returned from Washington to Koro Island, and almost just got off the plane, he was invited by the superior car.

The female secretary nodded slightly to him, pushed the door of the conference room for him, and then retreated to the side.

James said thank you and walked in the door, and when he saw the people in the conference room, the expression on his face suddenly surprised.

Nasa's black director, Bolden, couldn't understand him. In this kind of ethnically discriminating country, he can be a minister-level black man, a hero or idol of these African immigrants. Sitting next to Bolden is the head of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Anthony Cregan, a thin-skinned white man with a hook nose and freckles.

Ministry of Defense Advanced Research Projects Bureau, referred to as darpa. There is another nickname for this unsuccessful department, that is, "Shenzhen Bureau."

As for the two people sitting in the first place, it is even more difficult.

One is the current Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, and the other is US President Hilary.

Taking a deep breath, William James is preparing to give a military salute to his immediate boss, but Mr. Carter has no plans to talk nonsense with him, and can't wait to open his mouth.

"Mr. James, we want to hear your knowledge in the city of Stars."

William James certainly won't refuse. The reason why the US government sent the Marine Corps to go to the first car ceremony is that it has the meaning of inquiring intelligence.

I saw the black soldier nodded and said, after swallowing his mouth and spitting.

“About five hours of voyage, we arrived at the Synchronous Orbital Space Station, which is the Star City.”

"It's a bit slower than the rocket." Mr. Krigan whispered his voice and said something next to Hillary. "Our Falcon Rockets can't be used for half an hour."

In the development of the Falcon series rockets received technical support from the darpa department, so the term "our falcon rocket" used by Krigan is wrong. But when he said this, Bolden glanced at him, but said nothing, and after two seconds he took his eyes off.

Hillary nodded, didn't speak, but continued to look at James seriously, waiting for the black soldier's next.

“After arriving at the terminal, Star Ring Trading sent a tour guide to take us inside the Star Ring City.”

"According to him, the entire city of the ring is a ring, and the ring is also the counterweight of the space elevator. There are subways, living units, and external space stations..."

Having said that, William James paused, and there was a fascination in his sight.

“The most striking thing is that they moved the farmland to the space station.”

The high-level Americans in the room are facing each other, and only Kriggan’s look disdainfully turns the pen.

"There is also a planting unit on the International Space Station. This is not a special technique. It is nothing to be surprised. We saw the pumpkins shipped back from the International Space Station a decade ago. Is there anything else besides this?"

Hillary and Ashton also nodded.

Just planting vegetables in space is not a novel technology. As early as ten years ago, the United States had solved this problem in the laboratory. Fourteen years later, it approved the establishment of a space farm in the US space of the International Space Station, and successfully planted a variety of surface plants such as Chinese cabbage and carrot.

Compared with these insignificant technologies, they are more concerned about the potential value of Star City in military and economic aspects.

Of all the people present, only Borden is indifferent. From the United Nations Outer Space Summit, he is very clear that the space technology of the Star Trade is leading.

It’s not good to hit the boss, but William James feels that it is necessary to remind everyone in the room, so he whispered.

"But they have an area of ​​two thousand acres..."

The conference room was quiet, and even a needle fell on the ground.

The rotating pen has fallen on the book, and Kriggan's mouth is slightly open, closed, and then opened again, like a robot.

There is no expression in Sheila, she is really expressionless, because she does not know what to do to express the shock in her heart.

Even Bolden’s black face was slightly discolored. Even though he was prepared, he was also stunned by the star-studded trade.

Is it easy to grow vegetables in space? It is really simple.

But what about large-scale farming? This is totally two concepts!

An external space station with an area of ​​more than two thousand acres? Is this Nima really called a space station?

Seeing his own boss, the Secretary of Defense’s face did not seem to be very good. William James hesitated and whispered: "...do you still need to report it?"

"Go on then." Hillary sank.

See Ashton nodded, William James went on.

"Most of the space stations are idle open spaces. We only see one of the two thousand acres of farmland."

The people present here are relieved. It seems that this kind of shocking thing is not so good. Even with the financial resources of the Star Ring trade, only one is built.

But then, the words of William James made everyone feel better and better, and instantly fell to the bottom. The chin that Krigan had finally closed was lost.

"I asked the tour guide why they were idle and not all planted with wheat. He told me that this type of external space station has many uses, not just farming. They are going to build houses and build factories. Just because now There are very few people on the city of Star Ring, and there is no need to develop so many agricultural areas..."

Just then, William James’s speech was interrupted, and an assistant-looking man opened the door and hurried into the conference room.

Facing a dissatisfied line of sight, he couldn't take care of it at the moment. He took out the crazy 8 mobile phone from his pocket and looked up to Hillary in a dignified manner.

"What? Mr. Eric, don't you know that we are in a meeting now?"

"There is a new movement in the Star Ring trade! You let me stare at them. Believe me, I definitely didn't mean to break into the conference room, please allow me to take up three minutes!"

Said, the man named Eric took a few clicks on his mobile phone and then presented the phone to Hillary.

Is that a video, or is it like editing from a sci-fi movie...

Hilary frowned slightly, why did the White House assistant make a special trip to the conference room to show her this Hollywood movie. Ashton blinked at the video and didn't take it for granted at first, but didn't know if he found something, and soon his expression gradually became more exciting.

Sitting next to Bolden, the expression solidified as soon as he saw the panorama of the asteroid.

For a while, his stiff facial muscles pumped and whispered.

"This is the Benu asteroid... the video is not like g."

Hilary, who was looking at it with gusto, stunned and looked at the phone with a look of ghosts.

"This is impossible!"-

(Today's monthly ticket is double!) (To be continued.)
