Three hundred and seventieth chapters each has a ghost
Since Dongtang and the Galaxy Consortium have no interest in holding meetings abroad, the Mi Li family and the Xizhou Alliance have decided that if you don't come, we will come in person.
Then the Outer Space Committee made the most bizarre announcement in history, announcing that the International Outer Space Conference would be held in Shanghai without the consent of the eight hosts.
Facing these shameless guys, Dongtang was also very helpless
However, in order to disgust them, for international conferences based on their level, the host must at least be responsible for food and accommodation. In previous years, travel expenses and some benefits were also covered.
For this International Outer Space Conference, Dongtang will come directly to participate at your own expense. Anyway, you are responsible for the food, accommodation and travel expenses of the participants. They will not even provide the venue for the conference.
The completely shameless Mi Li family and Xizhou Alliance quickly pooled their money to give the Outer Space Committee to rent a venue in Shanghai.
Anyway, this international outer space conference was very embarrassing. Fortunately, Dongtang did not do anything wrong, otherwise they would directly refuse the visa and they would not even be able to come.
The whole network forum.
"It's the first time I've seen someone shamelessly come to a meeting." Manually funny
"They're in a hurry." The Martian
"It's weird if you're not in a hurry. If you don't come again, you may not even have a place." Xingchenhaihai
"You used to ignore me, but now you are beyond your reach." Zhang Wei, the lobster monster
"I heard that this time the conference even asked the other party to rent the venue themselves. I must kill them severely." Planetary Railgun
"But this conference will probably take a while." Pipixia
"There are only two options before them, buy or rent, the rest is a matter of bargaining." International relations expert
"I think it's impossible for them to buy a mass projector, and renting it is the most likely option," said the Prophecy Emperor.
"Let's talk slowly, preferably for a few years. Let's take over the moon and Mars first before we talk." Qinghai user
“I really want to go to the moon and plant a flag.” User from Guanghangong City, Lunar Province
"I heard that on January 1, the Kaohsiung base will send 6 astronauts to outer space. I wonder when they will open tourist applications?" Shanghai user
"Space tourism is not bad, but speaking of the terrifying acceleration of the mass projector, how do they solve the overload?" Shiheyuanfang
"Poetry and the distance, we will know about it on January 1st." Brother Pingtou
the other side.
Johnson, the chairman of the Outer Space Committee, and Rhine of the Western Space Administration are struggling to find a suitable venue for the conference in Shanghai.
However, the venues needed for such a large-scale international conference cannot be provided by just any hotel or the like, and without the official presence of the host, those university towns or other official venues dare not rent them to them.
Now they can only consider commercial venues, such as large hotels. Fortunately, the Hilton Hotel has a branch in Shanghai. Through this relationship, the Outer Space Committee successfully rented the Shanghai Hilton Hotel as the conference venue.
The International Outer Space Conference is scheduled to be held on January 5th, and many countries close to the Eastern Tang Dynasty have already sent heavyweights to fly over in advance.
However, there are not many forces that can participate in the negotiations at this conference. For example, most black African countries are not even qualified. Only South Africa has one qualification.
The main participants are the five gangsters, the Galaxy Consortium, the Western Continent Alliance, as well as the Kingdom of the Sun, Tianzhu, Maple Leaf Kingdom, Tu'ao, Samba Kingdom, Judah Kingdom, and the Sand Camel Kingdom. Even if the rest are here, they are just soy sauce.
exist.
Although the meeting has not started yet, there are many private and secret confrontations, and everyone is counting the cards in their hands.
It seems that the Mi Li family and the Xizhou Alliance realized at this time that the cards they had were unable to beat the Eastern Tang Galaxy Alliance, and before they knew it, they were completely behind.
Whether it is the industrial base or the high-tech field, they are now very far behind. The huge gap between semiconductor and materials science alone makes them feel a lot of pressure.
Shanghai Hilton Hotel.
After Johnson and Maxwell entertained the representatives from Tianzhu, they held a small meeting with Maxwell from NASA, Layton and Rhine from the Western Space Administration, and Johnson.
"Mr. Mike, the possibility of purchasing a mass projector is extremely slim. I don't recommend that you negotiate this." Johnson reminded Maxwell.
"I know, but you have to give it a try! Otherwise it will be difficult to explain." Maxwell replied with a headache.
"What other cards can we play? Apart from mushroom eggs," Layton said suddenly.
"..." Maxwell was asked and didn't know how to answer this question.
"The best solution now is to rent the right to use the mass projector from them, even a part of it." Rhine continued.
"But in this case, our aerospace industry will inevitably be controlled by others." Maxwell retorted with an ugly face.
Layton shook his head and mocked: "If you are not controlled by others, you will be completely backward. Choose one of the two, which one do you choose?"
"..." Maxwell was once again unable to refute.
From the conversations of several people, it is not difficult to find that the differences between the Mi Li family and the Xizhou Alliance are very big. Obviously, with the unstable international status of the Mi Li family, the Xizhou Alliance no longer wants to continue to play a supporting role.
"The Western Alliance Joint Meeting has decided to lease the mass projector from the Kaohsiung base to the Galaxy Consortium." Layton said a decision that made Maxwell look ugly.
Maxwell felt that he and the MiLi family had been betrayed, and he shouted angrily: "Do you know the consequences of doing this? You are siding with the enemy!"
"Then the Mi Li family can help the Xizhou Alliance build an international space station within a month? I can give you a year." Layton immediately retorted.
"You..." Maxwell's expression turned extremely ugly. Of course he knew that with NASA's current technology, even three years would be enough to build the International Space Station, let alone one year.
Whether it is NASA itself, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Motors (not General Motors), Space Exploration, or Blue Origin, it is technically possible to complete a brand new International Space Station within one or two years, but the cost will definitely make the original
This will make the financial situation worse.
After all, high-thrust launch vehicles are currently selling and buying at a loss in terms of space transportation; while mass projectors are profitable, and one can judge the difference between them.
Although the state sometimes does not pursue profits, if you can make some small money by the way, who will feel bad about money.
Gao Lu, who originally didn't want to be tied up by the Mi Li family, had already decided not to play with the Mi Li family. They were determined to rent the Kaohsiung base from the Galaxy Consortium.
Maxwell's chest heaved. He looked at Layton and Rhine with anger and helplessness. After calming down, he said:
"I hope you won't regret today's decision."
After saying that, Maxwell left directly. As the chairman of the Outer Space Committee, Johnson saw Maxwell leaving angrily. He said sorry to Layton and Rhine before jogging to catch up.
"Hmph! There is no hope for the nouveau riche's aggressiveness." Layton snorted coldly.
"We can't go on like this. Only a united Xizhou can continue to dance on this stage." Rhine said pointedly.
On the other side, Chekov and others from the Mao Xiong Space Agency also came to Dongtang, but their destination was Peiping. Apparently they had other plans.
