Chapter 925 (1/2)
Rex; Moscow, Kremlin. This special conference is being held around the completion of the space elevator in the territorial waters of the new country in the Western Pacific.
”Just yesterday, star ring trade sold us the promised r320 rocket engine. Reverse engineering has been launched. Within one year at the latest, new rocket engines will replace the old space engines. In one year, we will surpass the United States and spend decades in the aerospace field to get rid of our distance. ”
”Unfortunately, however, when star ring trade gave us this sword, it also drew down the curtain of the whole stage. Whether it is economy, politics, culture, or military, tomorrow will be different from today. Because there is the unknown, and the unknown means infinite. ”
At this point, the director of the Russian space agency, Oleg OSTA pianko, lowered his eyebrows and told the truth in an artistic way. He looked at all the members of the Russian Federation Committee present and President Putin, who was in the first place.
After a pause, Oleg continued.
”Guys, the old days are over.”
Taking a deep breath, the defense minister looked at the silent Putin and whispered.
”If the space elevator can deliver tons of material to outer space, then the space defense force we are proud of will be a joke.”
Putin's head was slightly deflected.
”Fortunately, we have a good relationship with them”
”yes, but we can't put all our hopes on good diplomatic relations,” the defense minister continued in a low voice next to Putin. ”The United Nations will discuss the safety and rational use of space elevators. I am very much in favor of maintaining good bilateral relations with New Zealand, but only when It is more in our interests to have an alliance of equal strength, isn't it? Appropriate to weaken them ”uu1;
Putin raised his hand and interrupted the speech of the Secretary of defense.
”If the United Nations in New York is destined to be history, what's the point of embarrassing them in the United Nations”
a special hearing is also being held in the Capitol in Washington.
At the meeting, facing many members of Congress, experts and scholars from all walks of life, NASA director Charles Bolden read the manuscript in his hand.
”Although Congress has been trying to reduce our budget, we are still pushing the space program forward step by step with a limited budget. Over the past decades, the achievements have been great and amazing. We have not only looked at the privatization of the space industry, but also made this seemingly money losing face project, which eventually turned out to be profitable. ”
”Yes, we used to lead.” Mr. Bolden pauses, glancing meaningfully at members of Congress at the hearing. ”We once convinced the world that the statue of liberty is the future.”
The budget committee members of Congress, who used to be aggressive at hearings to cut NASA's budget, now look like defeated roosters, lowering their heads and embarrassed not to look at this dark old man.
Secretary of state Kerry, sitting on the hearing committee, coughed gently.
”This is a congressional hearing, not a federal court. What we should discuss now is not who should be held responsible, but how to deal with it.” Uu2;
”I don't mean to be accountable, Mr. Kerry.” Mr. Bolden looked at Kerry. ”But I must remind you that we should not make two mistakes on the same issue.”
