The start of science and technology
Chapter 63
"Because of the great controversy over this article, representatives can propose amendments and members'' representatives can vote on them," the Secretary General said.
Soon, several representatives protested, saying that the moon is the common property of mankind and should be owned by all mankind. All countries can only conduct scientific investigation, not resource exploitation and commercial activities.
Not all of these proposals were adopted.
A representative suggested that "there should be restrictions on the number of scientific research bases in each country, and they should not be increased indefinitely. Countries that have not established scientific research bases on the moon have the right to establish scientific bases on the moon... The establishment of new scientific research bases must be reported to relevant management institutions and qualified after examination."
"The representative''s comments are worth referring to. Do any members have any amendments?" asked the Secretary General.
"This proposal is very in line with the international situation and environmental protection." all countries agree, which is more beneficial to those countries that have not been able to go to the moon.
"I declare that this article is proposed to be adopted and article 96 of the moon agreement will be amended..." the Secretary General announced.
The meeting continued, and one agreement after another was adopted.
It stipulates that after the agreement comes into force, if countries want to establish scientific research stations on the moon, they must be limited to a certain number and approved by international organizations. Moreover, countries should not damage the lunar environment during "scientific research", and large countries should help small countries develop space technology, etc.
In short, it will be very troublesome to build a new lunar base in the future. You don''t have to think about it. There must be various restrictions.
The representative of country a proposed to some regulations: "Mr. Secretary General, I must make one point. Before the agreement came into force, we already had a scientific research base on the moon, for which we have paid decades of efforts and a huge price! Therefore, I propose that the lunar scientific research base before the agreement came into force should not be included in the quota."
"I shall now vote on this opinion," said the Secretary General.
After weighing the interests, this opinion was also adopted. After all, only signed documents are useful. If the conditions are too harsh, members will refuse to sign.
"I announce that the new moon agreement will enter into force on the first of next month, that is, 15 days later. I invite Member States to sign the agreement and strictly fulfill the requirements of the agreement... Develop the moon in accordance with international agreements and protect the lunar ecological environment." the Secretary General announced the results.
Most of the representatives present signed the new moon agreement, which will enter into force in 15 days.
……
"Fifteen days, we have fifteen days!" NASA, people have been paying attention to the information of the new moon agreement. After the agreement was signed, they already know what to do.
"Some people want to use the moon agreement to limit the number of scientific research stations on the moon, but this time, they will miscalculate!" Cao Liang said with a smile, "we were ready!"
"It''s time for our lunar infrastructure team to go out!" Du Xingyu said proudly. "These days, the personnel and equipment are complete!"
They have been sending people and materials to the moon, especially the life capsule made in a hurry, and Du Xingyu has transformed it. A life capsule, fixed on the surface of the moon, plus a radiation cover, is a small base!
According to the current definition of the lunar scientific research station in the lunar agreement, as long as the life capsule is fixed and astronauts are sent to garrison, there will belong to their lunar "scientific research station", and the resources near the scientific research station will be under their jurisdiction and control!
This is actually a move to kill, even if other countries immediately know that they have nothing to do.
Life capsule can be developed and manufactured in the United States, Europe, Russia, India and island countries. Why only country a can use it is because other countries besides country a are not able to send these qualities to the moon in a short time!
They don''t have nuclear powered rockets or lunar spacecraft, let alone materials. Now they can safely send astronauts to the moon, they have to celebrate!
"Contact Guanghan palace base immediately!" Cao Liang said. "Fifteen days, before the new moon agreement comes into force, I want our scientific research stations to blossom everywhere!"
"Everybody, start!" Du Xingyu shouted to the communicator. On the moon, the astronauts of country a ready to go began to take action.
They drove the lunar rover and dragged the life capsule to the long explored place, where they built a simple base.
Soon, there will be various scientific investigation stations here.
……
"Hahaha, according to the new moon agreement, the initiative of moon development is back in our hands!" senior officials of the office of moon development affairs in the United States are celebrating.
"I thought the representative of country a wouldn''t sign this agreement. I didn''t expect them to sign it so soon. It''s really unexpected." one person smiled. "Now we can hold them down and occupy most of the moon''s resources before them!"
"Why did they agree so easily this time?" some people wondered, "obviously, they are more than us on the moon now, so they shouldn''t..."
They were discussing. Suddenly, a subordinate reported the situation and said, "Sir, the satellite monitored that there was a big operation at the lunar base of country a!"
"What''s the situation?" they immediately transferred satellite images to watch. Near the lunar base of country a, several teams of astronauts of country a took supplies and drove lunar rovers in different directions.
"Have they sent so many people to the moon?"
"What on earth do they want to do? Haven''t they been digging holes before?"
"They want to... No, I see!" one of them said quickly and eagerly. "They must want to establish more scientific research bases on the moon before the new moon agreement comes into force, so that they can obtain more lunar resources!"
"In this way, the new moon agreement will not only not limit their development on the moon, but also become a tool for them to obtain lunar resources! We have been programmed, they are too treacherous!"
As soon as his voice fell, everyone changed his face. On closer thought, it seemed that it was possible!
"Damn it, they have been confusing us for the past two months. They deliberately stay at the base and don''t go out! It''s just to wait for now!"
"It''s not that serious. In just 15 days, they can build at most one or two ''caves''." someone said calmly, "they can build, and so can we!"
"What if they have other means?"
"There are only 15 days left, and it''s too late for us to send people to the moon now! And the new moon agreement has just been signed, and it can''t be modified! They have long thought it out and won''t give up the lunar resources!" the senior management of the lunar Development Office are aware of the seriousness of the problem, but they have nothing to do with each other''s behavior.
They know very well that they can be dissatisfied with each other''s behavior on the moon and refuse to recognize such scientific research stations.
But these are useless. The reason why NASA can establish so many scientific research stations is that they have stronger power to transport materials and personnel to the moon than other countries.
Even without those paper agreements, their lunar scientific research area is still larger than that of other countries! Unless they can travel between the earth and the moon as easily as NASA.
