I am reborn as Say, but the animation three-body

Chapter 60 Development of Energy

The 391st Wallfacer Hearing

"Chairman Say, I'm sorry to tell you one thing, that is, the "Nanfu Plan" has exceeded the upper limit of the resources you can mobilize." After seeing the report, the U.S. representative objected.

"I know this." Sai explained: "But most of the plans are still related to the mainstream defense system, such as the construction of space elevators and space cities, and the excavation of lunar soil to extract helium 3."

"But the number you requested in terms of cargo spacecraft is too large, which is impossible to achieve. Secondly, building a large permanent lunar base and a lunar space elevator is not a requirement of the mainstream defense plan." The British representative said.

"The number of cargo spacecraft is indeed relatively large, but if you want to develop the moon with maximum efficiency, you will definitely need a large number of cargo spacecraft, because the lunar base relies on transportation from the earth."

"As for the number of cargo spaceships, wouldn't it be enough to expand the number of space docks? As long as there are enough space docks, it is not impossible to build spaceships slower," Sai said.

"Then how can you increase the number of space docks? Are you a magician and can you use a staff to create space docks out of thin air?" the French representative asked sarcastically.

"Then it's natural to spend money to build more space docks, otherwise you expect me to bring them out?" Sai asked.

"Madam Chairman, this is the essential problem." Russian representative Garnin suddenly said: "Some gentlemen do not want you to spend so much money on building a space dock."

"Or what they don't want is that the space docks used to build warships will be mobilized by you to build cargo spacecraft, because no matter how many docks there are, there is a limit."

In addition, Say's previous Fourth Agricultural Revolution plan has had a considerable impact on their agricultural pricing power. If they lose their energy pricing power, they will definitely not be able to maintain their position as the only superpower.

"The problem is that the nine councils will build their own space docks. You don't need to remind us of such a simple idea." The German representative sneered.

"Don't just talk nonsense!" the British representative said quickly: "We only regard building a space fleet as the primary goal. Energy development is not the first priority. Deuterium-tritium fusion is completely sufficient now."

No one has spoken at this point, because the fourth agricultural revolution has indeed been of great help to human civilization. Although people in many places are still hungry, large-scale famines have basically disappeared.

"Actually, forget about the cargo spaceship. If you ask me, this bullshit plan has nothing to do with the mainstream defense plan. We should build the earth's defense line first." The American representative interjected.

"Why doesn't it matter? First of all, the Nanfu Project can promote the construction of space elevators and give us stronger capabilities in entering outer space."

As for the general trend of losing oil currency, it is impossible for a chemical material to ensure its status as a world currency. However, as long as it maintains its current status, the hard currency in the market will still be the US dollar.

"Although you have given these explanations, the problem with this plan is that it is too difficult for current human civilization," the Japanese representative retorted.

"Besides, isn't going to the moon to mine just a waste of money? There are abundant mineral resources on the earth, so why go to the moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away to mine?" the American representative also mocked.

"The resources on the earth are always limited. Human beings always explore the resources of alien worlds. As for the cost issue, you also said the same when I proposed the fourth agricultural revolution."

This also means that when humans refine helium-3 on the moon in the future, China will control the entire Earth-moon route, thereby controlling the pricing power of fusion fuel and energy.

"Moreover, building large-scale shipyards will also allow human civilization to accumulate experience in manufacturing spacecrafts, not to mention developing valuable lunar soil and lunar minerals. This is no less than the fourth agricultural revolution."

But Say's plan to develop the moon really scares them, because whether it is building a large number of helium 3 mines and lunar bases, building a lunar space elevator, or building a large cargo spacecraft, there is a similarity.

"At the same time, large-scale lunar bases must rely on ecological circulation systems. We can completely use them as an opportunity to test the ecological circulation system, which will be very useful for the ecosystem of future spacecrafts." Say explained.

That is, the United States does not have the ability to do any of them, or in other words, only China in the world has the ability to do it. These spaceships and buildings must be made by China.

First of all, it doesn’t matter who has the controllable helium-3 nuclear fusion technology, because if a country can develop it, then the United States can naturally develop it too.

"After all, if you want to fully develop the moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, you must at least leave the earth first and be able to carry out large-scale projects in space."

"As for the fourth agricultural revolution, our judgment was wrong, and no one has completely rejected this plan before."

By then, not to mention individual countries, even the entire Western world will be able to pick up some leftovers to eat, and most of them will definitely be eaten up by those manufacturing giants.

At this moment, Say suddenly understood why some countries were so opposed to the Nanfu plan, because large-scale development of the moon would make the United States no longer the only superpower in the world.

"Oh oh oh." Sai seemed to suddenly realize: "But these space docks will be used to build warships sooner or later."

People in the defense world are stupid, but there are always some wise people. As long as their IQ is at the level of normal people, they can see through this simple fact.

"You were also the opponents of the Fourth Agricultural Revolution before, and you are also the opponents of the Nanfu Plan now. You know that these two plans are related to food and energy. Are you from ETO?" Sai asked deliberately.

"Sir, why do you always stand on the opposite side of mankind?" Sai had no intention of following the other person's wishes, and the Nanfu plan would definitely be implemented.

The nine major council members sitting here have basically used this plan to obtain a huge amount of cheap labor and raw materials, as well as a blue ocean market of billions of people.

Even the United States, which has lost its power to set food prices, has made a lot of money from this. It is still very difficult for everyone to openly denigrate this plan as worthless here.

"And in fact, the cost of the space dock is not as high as you think. Why do you always think that all the money is paid by yourself?" Looking at the neutral Indian representative, Say suddenly added another sentence.

"If we and PDC didn't pay for it, would it be you who paid for the construction of the space dock?" the American representative couldn't help but wonder.
