Chapter 62 'New Moon Agreement'

When talking about the Antarctic Agreement, everyone couldn't help but think of what happened on the Antarctic. European countries divided the Antarctic and almost divided the Antarctic.

But when the world's strongest Soviet Union and the United States arrived, they declared that the division of Europe was invalid. Then, despite their opposition, they directly established scientific research stations on the Antarctic and occupied most of the territory of the Antarctic.

In Antarctica, the controlled area of ​​China is only more than 100 square kilometers, while the United States has tens of thousands of square kilometers! It is a few hundred times different!

"If the New Moon Agreement is established in accordance with the Antarctic Agreement, we can quickly establish several bases to occupy the resources-rich areas on the moon!" Du Xingyu said. "When the base of Guanghan Palace on the Moon is built, our actual controlled area will become the world's number one!"

"Yes, Du Xingyu said it well!" Cao Liang said, "That's what the above means. We must find a way to occupy the resources-rich areas on the moon before the signing of the New Moon Agreement."

"At the same time, we cannot be too arrogant, otherwise other countries will definitely modify the content of the Moon Agreement when they see it."

Du Xingyu touched his nose and said, "I have an idea."

"Tell me." Everyone looked at him.

Du Xingyu continued: "According to the current international default statement, human activity space that can last for more than four people on the surface of the moon for half a year can be considered a lunar base. Our life capsules completely meet the conditions! Just add an inflatable radiation shield, and we can create multiple 'lunar bases' in the shortest time."

"As long as we do this... we can catch them off guard! Take over the most lunar resources!"

"Good idea!" Everyone laughed, "This trick is definitely because they don't know how much materials we can transport to the moon. As long as we hide one hand, we can hit them unexpectedly!"

...

A month later, above the moon.

At the lunar base of the United States, six American astronauts are greeting their new teammates. Four more astronauts are coming down in the lunar module.

"Welcome!" Astronaut Eddie went up and hugged them.

"That's great. When you come, we can build more strongholds!" Astronaut Titus smiled.

"Now this place can barely allow us to survive. You still need to expand your living space!" Eddie pointed to the small cave behind them.

This was built by imitating the Huaxia cave base, much smaller than the Huaxia, but I can survive after a grievance.

"We are ordered by the Space Command to build more than three strongholds within this month, occupying the most resource-rich areas on the moon." The Americans have been exploring the moon for decades, and the resources distribution on the lunar table are very clear.

In the communicator, the commander of the US Space Force said: "In a month, the New Moon Agreement will be signed, and then these territories will directly belong to our great United States! Now, it is time to serve you!"

"Then hurry up! We have to be careful of the Chinese and Russians next to us, especially the Chinese. It seems that there are many people coming!" Eddie said.

"Although they have many people, they are too stupid and have been digging caves!" The commander smiled. The United States' lunar satellites have been monitoring China's lunar base.

In addition to digging in caves, the Chinese astronauts also built a very large radiation-proof greenhouse on the moon surface. It seems that people are working under the shed every day, but the Americans can't see what they are doing.

"In a month, we will prompt the signing of the Moon Agreement at the United Nations General Assembly. At that time, as long as we occupy the 'scientific research location', we will be surrounded by our territory. The Chinese people are willing to dig caves, let them dig. You must start construction as soon as possible to seize the resource points." The commander said.

"Yes." American astronauts started working and needed to expand their living space before they set out.

A few days later, three new team members were welcomed at the Russian lunar module landing point, and they were also building their own bases.

The Taiyin of China travels back and forth between the Earth and the Moon once a week. In the past few times, lunar exploration satellites from the United States and other countries could still take a little picture.

But later, they not only covered the vicinity of the moon landing site, but also accurately measured the orbits of satellites in various countries.

The satellite can only be photographed clearly when it is above the target area, while the actions of the Chinese astronauts are all staggered with foreign reconnaissance satellites.

There are only a few satellites on the moon now, and it is not even time to launch special military reconnaissance satellites, so it is impossible to achieve comprehensive monitoring.

"What are the Chinese doing?" All countries were puzzled. They wanted to figure it out, but it was the moon and their space capabilities did not support them in large-scale reconnaissance on the moon.

The only thing that reassures everyone is that except for geological exploration on the lunar surface every day, the Chinese astronauts do not seem to have set up bases and grab territory in other places.

"They have gone to so many people on the moon, and it is difficult to survive! They must be speeding up the construction of the lunar base. This time, the "New Moon Agreement" must be passed in one go! They cannot give them more time!" This has become a consensus among all countries. As long as a base is stipulated that only one lunar surface area can be managed, it will be useless no matter how many people there are in the Huaxia lunar base.

The United Nations General Assembly was held as scheduled, and all countries sent representatives to participate in the General Assembly.

Before coming, everyone already knew that this conference was to revise the previous Outer Space Treaty and formulate a new Moon Agreement.

At the conference venue, representatives from various countries have already attended the meeting, waiting for the beginning of the conference.

The Secretary-General stood on the stage and announced: "After discussing by the member states, we have expanded the 21 articles of the Moon Agreement adopted on December 5, 1979 to 102. I will read these agreements below, and each agreement will be voted on."

"Article 1: The moon (including orbits around the moon, flying towards and flying around the moon) should only be used for peaceful purposes; the use of force or threatening force is prohibited on the moon; the installation of nuclear weapons or any weapons of mass destruction is prohibited on the moon."

In this article, the content that was previously prohibited from building military bases on the moon was deleted.

"Start the first vote now!"

No country has any objection to this and directly passed it unanimously.

"The second one..."

The content of the agreement was almost agreed upon before the meeting by representatives of several major powers. Most of the treaties were passed smoothly.

Until the treaty on the development and utilization of lunar resources.

"Article 96: The moon and its natural resources are the common property of mankind. All countries can only explore and utilize it on the surface and below the moon and shall not seriously damage the lunar environment; its scope is determined by the lunar scientific research bases that all countries have or are about to establish... The detailed details are as follows..."

This is finally here, which is also the most controversial in the entire Moon Agreement.

Those small countries do not want to agree with this because they do not have the ability to go to the moon and can only watch the great powers develop on the moon.
