Chapter 241
"Huh?"
A question mark immediately popped into the minds of the three men.
Isn't this enough?
The total amount of Helium-3 the three of them wanted added up to two kilograms.
Even a single gram of Helium-3 currently circulating on the market costs 70,000 Eagle Dollars.
And that's a price without supply.
There simply isn't that much stock available for sale.
Dongda is already the country with the strongest and largest scale of rare earth mining and processing in the world.
Even in Dongda, there aren't many grams of it.
If it were placed on the outside market.
The price wouldn't just be 10,000 Eagle Dollars; it would skyrocket by tens or hundreds of times.
This is over 2,000 grams all at once.
How much money would that be?
The key point was that Zhang Wen also said: "Just this little bit?"
What is that supposed to mean?
Now, all three of them were completely dumbfounded.
"Hey, it's just this little bit, what are you all fighting over?"
After Zhang Wen said this casually, he turned around, went back, pulled out a flatbed cart, and loaded it with 10 bottles filled with Helium-3.
He pulled it out.
Zhang Wen pointed at these three bottles and said: "Stop fighting, here."
"One bottle is 50 kilograms; of course, the purity is only 99 percent."
"The three of you take one each."
"If it's not enough, tell me again."
"I'll go mine some more when I have time."
Then he said to Director Liu: "The remaining six bottles are for Director Liu."
"You take them to the warehouse first; whoever needs them can apply."
"Just use them, that's all."
"Is it really worth arguing over?"
Zhang Wen pulled the flatbed cart in front of them.
As soon as the three of them saw the ten bottles on the cart.
They couldn't even stand steadily.
"I feel like I'm a bit sick. Old An, aren't you in the medical field?"
"Why don't you take a look at me?"
"I feel like I've gone crazy."
Wang Cheng said, pointing at the cart in front of him.
"Old An, I feel like what's in front of my eyes is a pile of gold."
"Have I gone crazy?"
Wan Hui said to Director An.
"Bullshit, Helium-3 is much more valuable than gold."
Director An also said with a dumbfounded look on his face.
And after Zhang Wen handed the cart over to Director Liu.
Seeing the three of them in a dazed state.
He greased his feet and slipped away immediately.
He went to find Zhu Xinghan.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer.
He would be infected too.
He arrived at Zhu Xinghan's office, familiar with the way.
He pushed open the door.
"Back?"
"Yeah, back."
Zhang Wen said.
Zhu Xinghan was sitting behind his desk writing something.
"What are you writing?"
Zhang Wen asked curiously.
"The plan for the official moon landing."
"This time, it's a global live broadcast."
"It's still in the planning stage."
"It will be announced in a few days."
"It's tough; who knows what kind of accidents might happen!"
Zhu Xinghan was busy and overwhelmed.
"Oh right, Gao Jiamu told me."
"Didn't everyone go up this time?"
"Why are you still nervous?"
Zhang Wen asked curiously.
"It's precisely because they went up this time."
"There are many problems, and I don't know if it's luck or what."
"The fact that no problems appeared is the biggest problem."
"You should know this principle."
"Now we're relying on good luck to get by, but when problems appear in the future."
"Who knows what it will be like."
Zhu Xinghan said.
"That's true."
"But haven't you always been particularly focused on safety?"
"There shouldn't be any major problems, right?"
"As long as it's in the universe."
"As long as there isn't that kind of explosive major accident."
"Can't I just go and rescue them?"
Zhang Wen said to Zhu Xinghan.
"That is also the source of our confidence in preparing for this global live moon landing."
"After all, we have you and your Kunpeng."
"As long as no major problems occur."
"At the very least, the astronauts' safety is guaranteed."
"This is our greatest source of confidence."
Zhu Xinghan slumped into his chair.
"I really don't know how, back in the 20th century."
"Eagle Country's Apollo program was accomplished."
"Landing on the moon under those technical conditions."
"I'll be blunt."
"It's about as difficult as crossing the Pacific Ocean sitting in a washing machine."
"Back then, there were no electronic computers."
"Only mechanical theodolites."
"And mechanical calculators."
"That level of machinery, not having any problems during the moon landing process."
"I really can't understand it."
Zhu Xinghan complained.
Zhang Wen nodded.
Indeed, for that level of precision machinery, the importance of stability is almost overwhelming.
A slight vibration could cause internal parts to slip or other situations to occur.
Not to mention the massive vibrations during rocket flight.
Zhu Xinghan suddenly stood up.
He said to Zhang Wen: "Six times!"
"That's a full six times!"
"I'm not exaggerating at all; Dongda's current aerospace industry, at this scale, with this paranoia about safety."
"Still couldn't manage six consecutive times without any accidents."
"This is simply."
"I really don't know what to say."
"Can such things really happen in the world?"
Zhu Xinghan didn't know what to say anymore.
Zhang Wen had to advise: "I think you're being pushed by work pressure."
"Take a vacation for yourself."
"I heard that our country acquired an uninhabited island near Australia, right?"
"Renamed Haishi Island."
"It's being used as a military base now."
"I heard the scenery is quite good."
"When you're done with your work, I'll take you for a vacation."
"I still have some pull in the military, and although our navy has officially stationed there, nothing has been built yet."
"Only a fleet is left there to guard it."
"They are all old ships, nothing to leak."
"I'll take you there to have some fun."
Zhang Wen said kindly.
"Then let's go when the time comes."
"But I still can't understand."
"How did Eagle Country manage it in that era?"
"The programming back then was really done by weavers punching holes with needles and thread."
"A full six times, how could they not have a single problem?"
Zhu Xinghan wailed helplessly.
"That's why people have been saying it constantly over the years."
"That their moon landing was faked."
Zhang Wen said casually.
"Faked?"
"That shouldn't be possible, right?"
"There are so many people in the world."
"Could they deceive everyone in the world?"
Zhu Xinghan asked with some doubt.
"That's right, even the KGB of that alliance didn't raise any questions back then."
"But."
"Haven't you noticed?"
"The lunar soil they gave us, compared to the one we mined ourselves using the Moon Rabbit."
"And the one mined by that alliance back then, are they not completely different?"
Zhang Wen looked into Zhu Xinghan's eyes.
"But what's interesting is."
"The lunar soil mined by that alliance."
"Is exactly the same in composition as the lunar soil we mined."
Zhang Wen's words.
Directly blew Zhu Xinghan's mind.
"And."
"I went to the moon myself."
"I discovered."
