Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"Space station? What's that?"

"Simply put, in order to better observe the Earth and the universe, study the effects of the space environment on the human body, conduct microgravity experiments, test and improve aerospace technology, develop space manufacturing technology, and so on, we have specially built a residence in outer space, a house or shelter that can truly provide researchers with shelter from the wind and rain."

Because he wanted to better observe the Earth and the universe, study various technologies, and conduct various experiments, he built a house and a shelter in outer space.

For Lao Luo and his team, who didn't even understand what a satellite was or what its uses were, this was simply absurd!

Because it's just too exaggerated.
It's no exaggeration to say that Luo Yonghao and others, whose understanding had been completely overwhelmed, immediately questioned the situation!

Hao Pingchuan, whose composure was clearly inferior to that of Lao Luo and Bai Ling, exclaimed in surprise at that moment.

"How is that possible?! There's not even a place to stand in the sky, not even a foundation. How could you build a house? Don't tell me you've found the Heavenly Palace. I may not be well-educated, but I still know this! There's no Heavenly Palace in the sky, and there's no Chang'e on the moon. I understand that perfectly well!"

Seeing Hao Pingchuan's confident and determined expression was truly amusing.

They didn't beat around the bush with Hao Pingchuan and Lao Luo.

Let's start with the facts. Gao Cheng immediately took on the role of Ximen Lang, pulled out his phone, and started fiddling with it.

They found the launch dates of Chang'e-1 through Chang'e-6, as well as the research results achieved by the Chang'e series of satellites, and let them look at them freely.

Takashiro was certain of it.

"There is indeed no Chang'e on the moon, but there are Chang'e satellites! From the first Chang'e-1 lunar probe launched in 2007 to the Chang'e-6 lunar probe launched in 2024, we have launched a total of 6 lunar probes to find out whether there is a Chang'e on the moon, to explore the moon, and to fulfill the Chinese people's dream of landing on the moon!"

"Including the far side of the moon, which people have always misunderstood as being in darkness all year round, but which actually has day and night just like the near side, and which is always facing away from us, making both communication and exploration much more difficult, our Chang'e satellite has conducted detailed and in-depth research on it."

"So what happened? Was there really a Chang'e on the moon? And the Jade Rabbit, oh right, and Wu Gang chopping down the tree."

"Of course, none of these things were there. There was none of them, not even Chang'e with her heart full of longing for the blue sky and the moon, nor the Jade Rabbit, nor Wu Gang. All that was there was an endless desolation and a geographical landscape that was far more complex than the near side of the moon, with mountains and craters everywhere."

"Oh, right, speaking of the far side of the moon, there's one more thing we have to mention: when our Chang'e 6 probe returned to Earth, it collected 1935.3 grams of soil from the far side of the moon."

"Although it doesn't seem like much—even including the 1731 grams of lunar soil brought back by Chang'e 5, it's only a few kilograms, a little over 7 kilograms, less than 8 kilograms—it's definitely a historic breakthrough, providing extremely valuable data for our research on the moon's geological structure, evolutionary history, and resource utilization."

"These six lunar explorations have provided invaluable experience for realizing the Chinese people's dream of landing on the moon! I am increasingly convinced that before 2030, we will definitely achieve the first Chinese landing on the moon and truly surpass the United States!"

The grand narratives and lofty pronouncements left Lao Luo and Bai Ling speechless, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

They saw not only the space station, which was difficult for them to understand, but also the moon, which later generations...
Unconsciously, a sentence popped into Bai Ling's mind, a sentence that was despicable.

"Why don't you just fly to the moon?!"

Now, the descendants have truly ascended to heaven!

They don't just want to go to space, they want to go to the moon!

How could Bai Ling and Lao Luo not feel a deep sense of envy for the future generations?

The exploration of the moon directly using the Chang'e series of satellites, as well as China's lunar landing program, gave Bai Ling and Lao Luo a deeper understanding of the science and technology of later generations.

Continuing from the initial topic, Gao Cheng continued.

"Just like the Chang'e series of satellites landing on the moon, the same applies to the space station. Although there is indeed no ground foundation in outer space, the breakthroughs in science and technology are the best foundation! With the foundation laid, building a house is just a piece of cake for us infrastructure powerhouses."

"Not only that, but we have also successfully grown the vegetables and fruits we eat every day on the space station! And most importantly, rice was successfully cultivated from seed to seed for the first time on the space station in 2022, and it has now been propagated for three generations in the experimental fields!"

"I believe that before long, with our efforts, the problem of how humans will survive in space in the long term, which has been a major headache for us, will no longer be a problem. These are the achievements we have already made. And if we continue to cooperate in depth, you will also be able to participate in this great cause that benefits all mankind."

"Let's witness, and even create, more miracles with our own hands. For all of humanity, and for ourselves, let's achieve more, allowing our technology to make another leap forward, and even truly enter the space age!"

To be honest, although Lao Luo and Bai Ling are both resolute individuals and truly seasoned professionals.

No matter how resolute or determined one is.

They had to admit from the bottom of their hearts that they were truly moved by Gao Cheng's seemingly simple but actually very tempting words.

Although they knew that there was definitely a lot more to this in-depth cooperation that Gao Cheng mentioned.

There might even be things that they don't want to see.

Even so, Bai Ling and Lao Luo couldn't help but be tempted.

just
"Are we really qualified to participate? When it comes to space exploration, our experience is practically zero compared to yours. We know nothing, we know nothing, do we really have the ability to participate?"

"Furthermore, this is a space station that represents the culmination of several generations of your hard work and countless resources. What have we done to deserve this? And are you sure you won't object?"

Seeing that Bai Ling was struggling with this for so long, I realized that she was actually struggling with this.

Gao Cheng smiled and shook his head.

“Sister Ling, if you think we're like the Americans, hoarding our space station like our own lives, unwilling to let anyone even peek at it or touch it, then you're seriously underestimating us and our 5000-year-old civilization.” “Because our space station has always adhered to an open and cooperative attitude. Back in 2018, before our space station was even built, we proactively signed a cooperation agreement with the UN General Assembly, announcing that we would open our space station's experimental resources to the world.”

"We have been actively inviting countries around the world to participate in the scientific research and technological experiments of the space station. Through years of effort, we have signed nearly 200 intergovernmental space cooperation agreements with more than 50 countries and international organizations, covering multiple fields such as Earth observation, deep space exploration, satellite development, and lunar exploration. This even includes manned spaceflight!"

"We've even brought in the big dogs from the Middle East, the Barbarian sheep, and even countries in Europe and Africa. As for us? We're truly blood-is-thicker-than-water, of the same origin! If even you don't have that right, then who does?"

As for the fact that Beijing's infrastructure was weak, it was difficult for it to provide sufficient assistance to later generations in the field of aerospace, unlike some countries and regions in later generations.
To this, Gao Cheng only has one thing to say.

"Sister Ling, please don't underestimate yourself!"

"Although our foundation is still relatively weak at the moment, our future is absolutely bright and limitless!"

That's a really lucrative career!
After all, this represents the wealth of an entire world, and the market of an entire world!
Although Beijing is indeed dirt poor right now, and even has a huge debt that it may take many years to pay off.

But they have a future to look forward to.

Ximen Lang is their future!

Although it was only half, and even that half, later generations wanted to take it back.
Unfortunately, you can't take it back!
There's nothing I can do, Ximen Lang's heart is with them!
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before things took off in Beijing; it was inevitable!
Therefore, Xia Yiyi and the people of the future naturally had to make their bets and invest in the future as soon as possible!

In addition, Beijing possesses so many treasures that would make later generations envious.
If they are unwilling to participate, then future generations will truly be unhappy!
Therefore, in the research on the space station that invited future generations to participate, the future generations were absolutely serious.

However, what price the city of Beijing should pay is something that Gao Cheng cannot know or decide.

However, it's definitely right to whet their appetite and arouse their desire as much as possible.

After all, the stronger the desire, the more it can be used as a pretext for future generations to demand.

Indeed, this large military reconnaissance satellite, which can be described as top-notch in every aspect and encompasses multiple fields such as intelligence gathering, communication, navigation, and meteorological monitoring, was the brick thrown out by later generations to lure in the enemy, the bait thrown out by later generations, just waiting for the people of Beijing to take the bait.

As for whether the people of Beijing will take the bait...
In this regard, the later generations, led by Xia Yiyi, have absolute confidence!
Even if the people in Beijing are all talented and they see the potential dangers, they will never give up.

There is no other reason.

This military satellite, which covers multiple fields, is truly incredibly useful.

It's so good that you'll fall in love with it after just one use!
Just like that thing, it's addictive after just one use, and once you start using it, you absolutely can't live without it!

However, all of this is contingent on the satellite being launched successfully.

So, while Gao Cheng was trying his best to explain the benefits of satellites to Bai Ling and Lao Luo, at the same time in the future, Xi Men Lang and Xia Yi Yi were also having a similar conversation.

"Hey, Lang, I noticed your purchase list also includes a lot of BBUs, AAUs, and transmission equipment."

"These are all equipment used to build base stations. Are they planning to help them build their own communication system?"

At this moment, Ximen Lang was busy playing games, his mind completely absorbed in the game's storyline, and he didn't think much about it, nor did he care to.

Upon hearing Xia Yiyi's words, Ximen Lang didn't even raise his head.

He immediately replied.

"That's true. There's no other way. They're so backward over there that they basically have to shout for communication and walk for transportation. I just couldn't stand it, so I thought I'd help them build some base stations and set up a communication network or something."

"At least don't be so low-class. It has to look decent enough, so I helped them purchase a batch of equipment. We'll make do for now, and then we'll talk about other things when they have the capability. What's wrong? Any problems?"

"There's no problem with the base station, the problem is this pager. What era are we living in? You're still using a pager. This is just... well, it doesn't suit your status at all."

When the topic turned to something unbecoming of Ximen Lang's identity, Ximen Lang finally shifted his attention away from the game.

Ximen Lang, who was also deeply moved by Xia Yiyi's words and felt that pagers were devalued, turned around and began to complain to Xia Yiyi.

"I also want to get straight to the point and provide them with a decent communication network. I don't expect them to jump straight into the information society, but at least they'll need basic mobile phones and old-fashioned mobile phones."

"But there's nothing we can do. The infrastructure over there is just too weak. It's both weak and poor. We have no choice but to use pagers to tide us over for now. But don't underestimate these things."

“The products may not be that great, but you can’t blame it on the fact that it’s an untapped blue ocean market! I’ll open up the market with pagers first, and then once the market is saturated, I’ll copy what I need to copy.”

"I'll first make a killing with the old-fashioned mobile phones, and after that, I'll make another killing with the basic mobile phones! Then, every time there's a 2G, 3G, or 4G upgrade, I'll make another killing! Let me tell you, this guy is guaranteed to make a fortune! The kind of fortune he can make with his eyes closed!"

Gudong~
Xia Yi couldn't help but swallow hard upon hearing this.

Attracted by this huge business opportunity, she almost forgot about her business and couldn't help but want to discuss with Ximen Lang whether she and her descendants could also get involved and get a share of the pie.

I clutched my pounding heart for a long time before finally managing to suppress this urge.

Continuing from Ximen Lang's words, Xia Yiyi finally exclaimed in admiration.

"So that's what you were planning. It's definitely a fantastic business opportunity. But pagers and stuff like that are a bit outdated! Of course, I won't interfere with your money-making. What I mean is, are you interested in satellites?" (End of Chapter)
