NOVEL NEXT Chapter 298
Chapter 299
If at first, the old foxes still doubted whether this paper was a smoke bomb released by the Dragon Kingdom.
But after listening to Professor Lawlor’s words, this idea was completely dispelled by them!
Where are the smoke bombs that will give away their door-opening skills?
If there really is, please come a hundred such smoke bombs!
An official of the Eagle Country, who was a little anxious, couldn’t help but ask.
“So how much do you think we should invest in this project?”
“Didn’t you say that too? If many of the technologies in this paper can really land, it will be a big innovation for the space industry!
Professor Lawlor laughed:
“If you face innovation, you don’t even have the courage to put down your blood.” What else to talk about scientific research!
“Tomorrow I will personally submit an application to Congress for 5 billion eagle dollars for research on this project!!”
5 billion eagle dollars?
Hearing this amount, many people present were shocked in their hearts.
At the current exchange rate, one eagle dollar can be exchanged for 0.8 euros or 6.8 dragon dollars!
Even for the wealthy eagle country, 5 billion eagle dollars is a lot of money! Is a technology stolen from the Dragon Kingdom really worth so much money?
“Hmph!”
“I know what’s going on in your minds with you guys.”
Professor Lawler glared at them angrily, and said slowly:
“5 billion eagle dollars is indeed a lot of money. But when this technology is really successfully researched, the significance for the next space voyage of our eagle country will not only be measured in money.
“If some of the technologies in this paper can really be implemented, then our expenses will be greatly reduced in the next space flight.”
“Do you remember how much it cost at one time when the Apollo moon landing program was made?”
The officials of the Eagle Country present were a little weak-hearted:
“This… None of us were in charge of the project at the time, and we really didn’t know how much the Apollo moon landing would have cost. Although
they are not young, they are incomparable with Professor Lawlor’s “aging stone”.
When the Apollo moon landing program was executed.
Many of them are still young, and some have not even graduated from college.
There is simply no access to a large project of this level! Naturally, it is even more impossible to know how much the Apollo program actually cost.
“The total cost, 49.256 billion eagle yuan!”
Professor Lawlor clapped.
“How much ???”
Hearing this astronomical amount, the faces of many people present suddenly changed drastically!
They also know that as the world’s attention to the Apollo program, a manned moon landing will inevitably cost unimaginable money and energy.
But no one expected that this number would be so terrifying.
What’s more, it was still 49.256 billion eagle dollars in 1961!
The purchasing power of the eagle yuan of that era is far from being comparable to today’s eagle yuan.
“No wonder our country chose to stop the Apollo program in the 70s. So that’s the case…” Several
Eagle Country officials had a look of understanding on their faces.
Many people, and even some officials of the Eagle Country present, have always had a doubt in their hearts.
That is, it is clear that decades ago, when many science and technology were not so developed, the eagle country was able to land people on the moon several times and let the flag be planted on the moon.
But why is it that now that science and technology are more developed, it is impossible to see a manned moon landing.
Doesn’t that make sense?
As a result, a group of anti-intellectual groups have been born, who firmly believe that the earth is flat rather than round, and that the Apollo moon landing was a hoax that began in the studio!
This kind of anti-intellectual organization has a fairly large market within the Eagle Country.
Not only fooled a large number of ordinary people, but even let some highly influential actors, singers and sports stars join in!
Although many sober people find this ridiculous.
But even this group of sober people could not understand the problem of the Apollo moon landing.
But after hearing the astronomical amount said by Professor Lawler, everyone present instantly understood!
The reason why in recent decades, the Eagle Country has not organized a manned lunar landing program, it seems that it is not because of scientific research and technology, but because of one word: “Money!” ”
49.256 billion eagle dollars!
For the freshness of manned lunar landings, spend this money a few times.
But if you keep on and don’t stop and spend tens of billions of dollars on one login, what about finances?
Even if the Eagle Country is rich, it is impossible to bear such a huge amount of expenses for a long time! Moreover, the actual use of the lunar landing plan is not much, and as far as the current level of human science and technology is concerned, there is still a long way to go to develop lunar resources….
Instead of making a huge manned lunar landing project.
It’s better to send a rover up, it makes a lot of practical sense.
“The Apollo moon landing cost more than 40 billion eagle dollars, but if many of the technologies on this paper eventually land, this expense can be reduced by at least half!”
“Compared with the value it brings, what is 5 billion eagle dollars?”
“This matter is so decided!”
“At that time, I will ask NASA to apply for another lunar landing project.”
“The two go hand in hand, I want the world to feel the strength of our eagle country technology again!”
Professor Lawlor said.
“Okay, we can apply together with you.”
“I’m sure no one in Congress will have a reason to reject us!”
The faces of the officials of the Eagle Country present also showed extremely excited expressions, as if they had seen the picture of the rocket of the Eagle Country soaring into the sky.
Soon, within a few days.
The Eagle Nation Officer conveniently announced that they were about to launch a new round of space navigation plans in a few months!
The preliminary name of the plan is: “Artemis”.
As soon as this news was released, it quickly caused a huge shock in the world.
Many younger brother countries have touted it, and the Sun Never Sets Country that conjugates the father and son with the Eagle Country praises the Eagle Country as a beacon of world civilization and another great progress of human civilization.
And the country of cherry blossoms and the country of sticks have blown the country of eagles to the sky.
Even their prime ministers and presidents have personally sent congratulations and wished the launch of the space rocket of the Eagle Country smoothly.
Almost at the same time, Dragon Kingdom also announced the launch plan of Zhurong-2.
However, it is far from the form of international public opinion of the Eagle Country, although there are no people who come to smash the field, but there are only one or two small countries and the Northern Bear Country who send congratulations.
Many other countries pretend: “I didn’t hear what you are saying.”
What’s more, some countries even put on a disgusting posture, pretending to be blessed, but in fact, it is yin and yang strange, making the scene very ugly.
And the “initiator” of all this, Lu Yu, sat calmly in the research center of exoskeleton equipment, concentrating on preparing for the next landing experiment.
As if he had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
“Chief Engineer Lu, do you say that Artemis of their Eagle Country can succeed in the end?”
“……”
