Chapter 242: Eagle Country's Renewed Moon Landing
At least, the lunar soil that Eagle Country gave us.
It's fake.
Zhang Wen's words made Zhu Xinghan's eyes widen.
What did you say?
Zhu Xinghan moved close to Zhang Wen.
Do you remember where the lunar soil that Eagle Country gave us was mined?
Zhang Wen asked.
It was on the Moon's near side, in the southeast landing area of Cheng Hai on the Moon.
Zhu Xinghan immediately replied.
My Kunpeng has a full set of detection equipment.
I took samples from different places on the Moon's near side respectively.
I mined lunar soil six times.
I found that, except for inside the meteorite craters,
The composition of lunar soil elsewhere is basically the same.
If there is any difference,
I also went to the Moon's far side.
I collected samples at six different places respectively.
I found that the composition of the lunar soil from the six collection points on the Moon's far side is completely identical to the other six samples.
But it is greatly different from the lunar soil on the Moon's near side.
The key point is:
The composition of these 12 samples of lunar soil
Not a single one matches the composition of the lunar soil sample that Eagle Country sent us.
At least I can now conclude that.
Zhang Wen calmly said: "The lunar soil that Eagle Country gave us is fundamentally not from the Moon."
Hiss.
Zhu Xinghan sucked in a breath of cold air.
It triggered global warming.
Are you sure?
He asked, somewhat unable to believe.
Zhang Wen nodded calmly.
The Kunpeng's laboratory still has it set up there.
If you have nothing to do, you can go take a look.
Besides, didn't I ask you to go back then?
You absolutely refused to go.
"No, no." Zhu Xinghan hurriedly said.
"I'm just not daring to believe it?"
"After all, if this matter gets out,"
"it would be a huge deal."
"Besides, I had to stay here to command, I had no choice, it's not that I'm timid!"
Zhu Xinghan couldn't hold back and said to Zhang Wen.
"Hey. Who knows."
Zhang Wen spread his hands.
"They just need to say it was deliberately swapped on us."
"All to hinder our technological development."
"Given our current relationship with Eagle Country,"
"Getting away with this sort of thing isn't easy, is it?"
"What can you do?"
"Yeah." Zhu Xinghan also said helplessly.
"Besides, I know all this; you wouldn't be unaware, would you?"
"Eagle Country has already asked for the lunar soil mined by our Moon Rabbit six times."
"If they already have their own, why would they need to ask for ours?"
"There are no humans on the Moon, nor any pollution."
"Let alone decades, even hundreds or thousands of years, is there any difference in the lunar soil up there?"
"Let me put it another way."
"We now have the capability to mine lunar soil."
"Would you choose to ask other countries for it?"
Zhang Wen asked Zhu Xinghan.
Zhu Xinghan thought it over.
He shook his head.
He said: "Impossible. If Dongda lacks lunar soil for experiments, I can at most enhance the return capsule's carrying capacity, bringing back a bit more."
It's absolutely impossible to ask another country for it.
After all, this kind of thing is really too embarrassing.
If it gets out, I losing face is okay, but Dongda losing face is a big deal.
Zhang Wen spread his hands.
Yeah, you know that, but how do those Eagle Country people have the nerve to ask for it?
Then I really can't explain it.
Then that's right.
I personally propose.
I want to know if the Eagle Country people really landed on the moon.
For our global live broadcast this time, we directly chose the destination as the place where the Eagle Country originally landed.
The Moon's Clear Sea Southeast landing area.
After all, this way is the most intuitive.
But isn't that place already legislated by Eagle Country to prohibit other countries from landing?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen directly rolled his eyes at Zhu Xinghan.
You also know it's Eagle Country's law.
What does Eagle Country's law have to do with us?
Right.
Zhu Xinghan suddenly stood up, excitedly saying.
If this time's destination is set at the Moon's Clear Sea Southeast landing area.
That is, the place where the Eagle Country's Apollo Plan landed.
Then, within the world's scope.
The reaction it would cause absolutely cannot be compared to the trivial gimmick of Dongda's first moon landing.
It still needs to win people's hearts.
I'll go apply right away.
Don't forget to give me a heads-up either.
Zhu Xinghan excitedly said.
Okay.
Zhang Wen said helplessly.
Afterward, Zhu Xinghan immediately ran out.
And at the same time in Eagle Country.
Te Mei Pu was in the congress.
Was preparing to give a speech.
This speech is the same as the one he gave when he was president.
It is one of the items in the Eagle Country plan he spoke of.
After all the twists and turns, this has already been half of Te Mei Pu's term.
And Te Mei Pu, because of his various previous miraculous maneuvers.
His current approval rating is also only half of what it was initially.
Now he can only shape his greatness through publicity and a series of events.
In order to renew the people's confidence in him.
After all, he is currently serving his first term.
Eagle Country's law stipulates that a person can serve at most two terms as Eagle Country's president.
Te Mei Pu naturally does not want to miss this opportunity.
The congressional meeting will soon open.
Te Mei Pu stood under the spotlight.
He picked up the speech in his hand.
Respected congressmembers, respected Eagle Country citizens.
Long ago, there was a great president who proposed a crazy idea.
Back then, that idea changed many things.
Back then, decadent trends prevailed; back then, extravagant trends prevailed.
Back then, science and technology were considered frivolous tricks; back then, engineers were not recognized.
Now, for Eagle Country's renewed greatness!
I want to revive this plan!
Someone says, why should we land on the moon!
Because it's right there!
Here, after discussions by various experts, scholars, and corporate directors.
Now, we will return to the moon!
This time, we will not retreat!
This time, we will be like back then.
Regain victory!
I will entrust this project to the broadcaster, who will be like the Apollo Plan of that time.
"Return to the Moon again."
"Step back onto that land conquered by Eagle Country."
"Today, in parliament, if this plan passes, they will begin preparations within a month."
"It is expected that in three years, Eagle Country's people will return to the Moon."
"Exactly, this is what Te Mei Pu prepared for their second term."
"After all, announcing this now will boost support; actually landing on the Moon in the second term will also rally a wave of support."
"It's practically a two-for-one."
"Afterward, Te Mei Pu was at the very center of parliament."
"A solemn oath."
"May God bless Eagle Country."
"Let Eagle Country be great again!"
"MAGA!"
"And at Dongda."
"Zhu Xinghan, meanwhile, received an exciting piece of news."
"I have some ideas, but we need to assess feasibility."
"Once things have come to this point."
"It all depends on the outcome of the meeting."
"If it passes, then this time, Dongda's moon landing will be watched by the whole world."
