Chapter 938

Literal.

This is Jiang Chen's only impression of participating in this UN summit.

Canberra, the capital of Australia, is located in an open valley in the Australian mountains. The population here is not large and the scenery is quite beautiful. It was chosen as the venue for the United Nations Outer Space Summit. The Australian government attaches great importance to the convening of this summit, because many heads of state and high-level representatives sent by the five permanent members will visit this summit. One can imagine the weight of the meeting.

As early as three days before the meeting, the area near the summit venue in Canberra was under martial law. Shops were closed and factories were closed. The entire street in the west of Canberra was empty and there was no sign of people.

The meeting was held smoothly without any setbacks.

Usually, at this kind of summit attended by many heads of state, there is often more than one topic discussed, and it is not even limited to the topic of outer space development, and the highlight of the summit is often not placed at the beginning.

The first topic to be discussed was not the space elevator, but the North Korea nuclear issue. Just two months ago, North Korea launched a rocket that appeared to be a ballistic missile that was said to be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. What does this have to do with the Outer Space Summit? Of course there is still a little bit of this relationship. It has always been the consensus of the international community to use outer space for peaceful purposes.

Although the thin-looking representative was impassioned enough when he spoke, Jiang Chen, who was sitting next to Zhang Yaping, still yawned.

No matter how long you discuss a problem that can't be solved at all, it's just a waste of time.

To sum up, the protagonists of the speeches are basically the representative of North Korea and the US Secretary of State Kerry, and the content of the speeches of the two parties can be summed up in four sentences.

"You are not allowed to launch rockets!"

"Launching rockets is my right!"

"You try firing a shot?"

"Hey, I cum."

beat?

You can fight early.

But war has never been an issue that can be decided by one or two missiles and a pat on the head, and international issues absolutely do not apply to player thinking where the mouse is clicked-"A explodes the opposite base and wins".

People will look for reasons to convince themselves of what has happened, or use their own logic and limited information to deduce the so-called inevitability.

And the only thing in common with all the conclusions drawn by reasoning is that they are never really right.

People will always repeat the same tragedies, and human beings will always make the same mistakes.

It was precisely because of this belief that Jiang Chen sat there confidently, yawned at NASA Director Bolden who was looking at him, and then glanced at the nearest camera, guessing that it might not be able to capture The part below his desk, and then took out the future mobile phone from his pocket with peace of mind, and played the mobile game produced by Future Technology.

Even if the space elevator is here, even if they know the value of this thing, they can only watch themselves walk in front of them in the face of the unbearable price.

Zhang Yaping glanced at Jiang Chen who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help reminding him in a low voice.

"You're in a good mood."

"It's okay. Our space elevator will come after three topics, so you don't have to be so nervous now." Jiang Chen didn't look up, his eyes were still fixed on the screen on the phone screen.

Zhang Yaping froze for a moment, and touched his face with a strange expression.

"I'm nervous right now?"

"Maybe it's my illusion."

As Jiang Chen expected, the North Korea nuclear issue did not yield any results. But seeing Kerry's indifferent expression, it seems that he himself does not think that any results can be discussed in this kind of meeting.

After the issue of whether North Korea fired missiles or rockets was over, the Turkish civil war that has lasted since the second half of last year followed by the Ukrainian civil war. If the previous issues can still have something to do with outer space, then these two issues have nothing to do with each other. It was purely because there were not many opportunities for representatives of such a high level to get together, so a wave of discussions was forced.

These two issues did not last long, and soon the highlight of the summit-the use of space elevators for security issues was discussed.

Jiang Chen put away the mobile phone under the table and scanned the venue at the same time.

With his eyesight, he could clearly observe that the drowsy Italian president lifted his spirits, the director of ESA stopped turning his pen, and the director of NASA, who had been staring at his side, finally retracted. He looked at the memo on his desk.

"The next topic is a discussion on the use of space elevators for safety..."

The voice of Ms. Mazlan Osman, director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, sounded in the venue. Before the words settled down, the President of Panama, a Central American country, stood up and asked the new country through the microphone.

"About the space elevator, I would like to ask the President of the Republic of China a little bit. When you submitted the declaration of space activities to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, the filing stated scientific research purposes and a space station in synchronous orbit."

When he said this, the Panamanian president spoke poorly. The countries in Central America are basically the younger brothers of the United States. Seeing that NASA Director Bolden looked so relaxed, Jiang Chen knew that the Panamanian representative's speech probably meant the United States.

When the star ring trade built the space station bigger and bigger, it had already aroused the vigilance of the United States and other countries. They were completely dumbfounded when Starlink Trade started to "throw the rope" down from the space station.

It was late last year when NASA analyzed that it might be a space elevator. They couldn't fully accept this reality until the Star Ring Trade announced the news in mid-January.

God, that's the stuff of science fiction!

Zhang Yaping stood up, held down the microphone on the table, and spoke in an unhurried manner.

"This is the new country. According to the constitution of the new country, the domestic companies of the new country carry out reasonable and legal projects in the inherent territory of the new country, and there is no need to explain to the countries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean."

In the circular conference room, representatives from the United States looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they had expected such an answer, they still couldn't help showing sullen expressions when they heard it with their own ears. Bolden looked very calm, and whispered something to the person sitting next to him.

The representative from Panama sat back.

Soon, it was the turn of the South American country Ecuador to speak, and the dark-skinned president stood up and spoke in a sincere tone.

"The border of Ecuador crosses the equator line. May I ask the new country to help us South American countries to build our own space elevator? Of course, the Union of South American Nations will bear all the expenses for the construction of the star ring trade. Here I can make a promise that this will It's an investment of more than $50 billion."

As soon as this remark came out, the representatives of the Chinese side and the Russian side immediately became nervous.

Where do South American countries have so much money to build this space elevator? Ecuador's annual GDP is only 100 billion U.S. dollars. With financial constraints, it is difficult for them to squeeze out even one percent of the 100 billion, let alone a 50 billion project.

If you think about it with your feet, you will know who is really paying for it.

Both Huaguo and Russia are countries far away from the equator line, and their overseas influence is not satisfactory. It is almost impossible to own a space elevator, otherwise Ye Lao would not talk about leasing the orbit when he came to negotiate with Jiang Chen. Wouldn't it be better for me to pay for you to help me build one?

Among the countries present here, including those oil bosses in the Middle East, which country can be richer than rabbits?

It is precisely because of this that Huaguo and Russia have been sparing no effort to win over Xinguo.

"The question about the space elevator... I think Jiang Chen, the chief designer of the space elevator, can answer this question." As agreed, Zhang Yaping threw the question that he was inconvenient to answer to Jiang Chen.

When all the cameras were focused on him, Jiang Chen stood up and nodded slightly to the representatives of various countries.

"It's a great honor to stand here and answer the international community's questions about the space elevator. I understand that you are full of interest in the 36,000-kilometer elevator, because it is definitely the longest elevator in the world, and it is definitely the most profitable Elevator. Apart from corporate secrets that I have nothing to comment on, as the chief designer and chairman of Xinghuan Trading, I must know all the answers.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over the position of NASA, the black face of Director Bolden, and finally landed on the President of Ecuador.

"Regarding Ecuador's request, we express our regrets. Although we are very interested in this $50 billion project, our factory does not have the spare capacity to complete this order. Perhaps, you can choose other engineering units." ( To be continued.) Enable new URL
