Chapter 1236 (2/2)

”The question is, is our technology OK? Hasn't SpaceX terminated the development of manned rockets? ” Defense Secretary Carter frowned.

”MCT, Mars migration transport, SpaceX has never stopped Mars colonization program, and now the most critical technology has been broken through.” Bolden looked at Hillary and said seriously, ”it's OK to send out a one-way ticket.”

After a long silence, Hillary spoke.

”Tell me, what is the point of this?”

If she can't find a good reason to persuade Congress to allocate money, it doesn't make any sense even if she agrees with the plan in her heart.

”It means so much.” ”The moon has been monopolized, and the ring trade cannot continue to monopolize the future of mankind,” Bolden said. Even if it is to plant a flag on Mars and throw a few people to live on it, it will add a lot of chips to us. ”

Several craters with relatively large reserves of lunar ice and rare earth were occupied shamelessly by the pioneer ring trade.Even if there is no mining, an investigation station has been set up on it. Although many countries began to set up their own lunar exploration stations through the moon landing fever, they could not solve the most critical problems of drinking water and oxygen. It was almost impossible to develop into a colony.

In particular, because of the limited resources, the star ring trade arbitrarily refused to sell drinking water, oxygen and electricity to stations outside the members of the Earth Defense Alliance. The high maintenance costs make these stations in a state of making ends meet, let alone expand.

But the most important thing is not this

After a pause, looking at the president, who was still hesitating, Bolden continued.

”In addition, I suspect that the discovery of ring trade on Mars is more than just an insect.”

Hillary suddenly seemed to think of something, took a breath and looked at Bolden in shock.

”You mean...”

”Yes, I'm afraid it has something to do with extraterrestrial civilization.” Bolden nodded and seriously proposed, ”if they don't agree with us to participate in the research, we'll go up and see for ourselves.”

There's more than one way to Mars.

If the ring trade is not willing to sell tickets to Mars, then build a ”ocean going ship” belonging to the United States.

While the White House of the United States is making preparations for the attitude of star ring trade, only nine soldiers and the only infantry vehicle left on the Mars colony tens of millions of kilometers away have assembled at the gate of the colony, preparing to rescue the trapped engineers of mine 071.

Reinforcements around the city will take two weeks to arrive, while oxygen on the rover can only last two weeks at most. The risk of rescue is high, and everyone knows that. However, no one questioned the rescue from the soldiers who were ready to leave in the chariot.

Star ring trade has never abandoned the tradition of its own people running away.

No matter who the opponent is.

Whether the opponent is human or not.
