Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2500 Some Interference
NASA's successful moon landing was both great news and bad news for them.

After all, this is a good start, giving them more options to leave the moon or return to the moon in the future.

However, according to the intelligence they obtained, NASA's successful moon landing was entirely due to the strong support of the engineers from Rosen Technology and SpaceX. Otherwise, NASA would not have been able to complete the moon landing independently with its current domestic engineering resources.

Not to mention the future routine lunar landings and the construction of lunar bases.

As core figures of top families, enterprises, and organizations in the industry, the people living in the Moon Palace complex all have their own channels of information.

They knew that, in the current screening phase, the samples collected by NASA during this lunar landing had not yet revealed any special materials that would excite scientists or thrill these companies and government officials.

At best, it can only be said that it confirms the authenticity of the materials that were previously excavated and brought back.

The lunar specimens brought back before were genuine, so the materials being brought back now are even less likely to be fake.

besides……

Although this current Uncle Sam is "secured" for re-election and has promised to increase investment to ensure NASA can achieve a second and third moon landing, and even more so during his term, to achieve phased and regular moon landings as much as possible.

But those were all just empty promises.

At least now, Dr. Rosen, the founder of Rosen Technology, has informed them through some special channels about the current operational difficulties of Rosen Technology. The company's not-so-strong cash flow makes it impossible to achieve the same frequency of technological breakthroughs as Kyushu Technology.

It would take at least another ten years for a single company to achieve an independent lunar landing.

And this is the most optimistic estimate; the actual situation will certainly be delayed.

But time waits for no one. Kyushu Technology's Global Mech Challenge has already been held twice. The first one in Xia Yin Xing Calendar 1033 showcased many military weapons and demonstrated that the game mechs could be easily modified into military mechs. Three years later, in the second Global Mech Challenge in Xia Yin Xing Calendar 1036, the mech squad composed of veterans from Great Xia demonstrated the absurd ability of "three people being able to rival an entire legion" in various environments.

Some military experts even believe that, given the "concealing" nature of Kyushu Technology and the Great Xia government, the militarization capabilities of Kyushu mechs will only become more formidable.

Three mechs are even capable of "targeted elimination" of a modern city.

If Kyushu Technology's military capabilities have reached the level indicated by intelligence, many people in the Moon Palace complex are already considering whether they should return to Earth.

Some have even decided that if their family can establish itself in the Great Xia and gain a certain influence, they will then need to discuss with other core members of their family how to ensure their operations in the Great Xia while also making plans for the moon.

Capital's desire for appreciation can never be satisfied, just as the chasm of human desires can never be filled.

I don't know if it's because Kunlun City in the Anxi Gobi Desert is becoming more and more influential, or because Anxi's cultural and tourism work is so good, but at the end of the year 1037 in the Xia Yin Xing Calendar, some foreign tourists, while live-streaming their travels in Anxi, summarized some places in the Anxi Gobi Desert that are temporarily inaccessible by car.

They also thoughtfully added: "These are areas that are not allowed to be visited by navigation systems and local officials. If you want to travel to the beautiful Anxi, please be sure to avoid these places. Also, foreign tourists need to reactivate their identity information every now and then..." This was originally a very good travel tip, after all, every country has some places that are not allowed for outsiders, or even local residents.

However, in the exchanges among netizens around the world, there were indeed some meticulous people who marked these places by compiling information on Anxi's low-altitude flight routes and tourism resources.

This even sparked the desires of many thrill-seeking adventurers, who were eager to know what was going on in other forbidden areas besides those officially designated by the Great Xia Dynasty.

And what kind of scenery is there in the uninhabited areas of the Anxi Gobi Desert?

However, the Da Xia government did not "accommodate" these people's impulsive thoughts. Instead, it immediately reminded them and issued a public notice, reiterating that these areas are not open to the public, do not accept tourists, and do not allow photography.

Subsequently, the Anxi military's live-fire exercises further demarcated many restricted areas, including not only the ground but also the airspace in those areas, directly forcing Anxi's low-altitude aircraft to make significant changes to their flight paths in a short period of time.

There have been "adventure players" who wanted to find out more.

But neither motorcycles, off-road vehicles, nor drones could break through the barriers.

Some individuals, due to the severity of their offenses, even ended up eating communal meals on the mainland of Great Xia.

And so, time slowly passed until January 1st, 1038 of the Xia Yin Star Calendar.

On this day, Kunlun City once again defeated Moon City to become the number one technology city in the world in terms of popularity.

There is only one reason: Kyushu Starsea Company will launch a manned Mars spacecraft on this day.

Although the "manned" spacecraft is actually a robot, and although Kyushu Xinghai Company had previously sent a Mars probe to Mars, the configuration of the spacecraft that Kyushu Xinghai Company announced for landing on Mars this time has shocked many people.

During this period, NASA, which has enjoyed a period of "revival," has held several high-level engineering meetings to explore whether Kyushu Starsea Corporation really intends to send astronauts to Mars as its next step.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Reporters from major media outlets around the world, as well as some space enthusiasts and photographers signed with Kyushu Entertainment, got up early and, after a quick wash, went to their designated spots to set up their equipment and adjust parameters.

"Hello, hello, central control, can you hear me? The video transmission data shows it's normal..."

"Boss, I'm in the media shooting area of ​​the Kunlun Space Launch Center. According to the schedule, there will be an interview later. I'll do my best to interview that person."

"Hey, Lao Huang? I remember the last time we met was when we were in the new science and technology district, filming the last new product launch of Kyushu Technology, right? I didn't expect so many years to have passed in the blink of an eye, and you're still doing fieldwork like us."
