Chapter 63 – Scientific research area

“Because of the huge controversy in this article, delegates can propose amendments and vote by the representatives of the members.” said the secretary general.

Soon, several representatives raised opinions and protested, saying that the moon is the common property of mankind and should belong to all mankind. All countries can only conduct scientific investigations, and cannot conduct resource extraction and commercial activities.

These proposals have not all been passed.

A representative suggested: “There should be restrictions on scientific research bases in each country, and they cannot be increased indefinitely. Countries that have not established scientific research bases on the moon have the right to establish scientific bases on the moon… New scientific research bases must be declared relevant Management organization, qualified after review.”

“This representative’s opinion is worthy of reference. Does any member have any suggestions for amendment?” the Secretary-General asked.

“This proposal is very in line with the international situation and environmental protection.” Countries all agree, and this is more beneficial to those countries that have not been able to go to the moon.

“I announce that this article is proposed to be passed, and Article 96 of the “Moon Agreement” will be revised…” the Secretary-General announced.

The meeting continued, and agreement after agreement was passed.

It stipulates that when the agreement comes into effect, in the future, if countries want to establish scientific research stations on the moon, they must limit the number of scientific research stations and must pass the approval of international organizations. In addition, countries must not destroy the lunar environment during “scientific research,” and large countries should help small countries develop space technology and so on.

In short, it is very troublesome to build a new moon base in the future. Needless to think about it, there are bound to be various restrictions.

The representative of Country A proposed some of the regulations: “Your Excellency Secretary-General, I have to make one point. Before the agreement came into effect, we already had a scientific research base on the moon. For this, we have paid decades of hard work and a huge price! So I propose that the lunar scientific research base before the agreement takes effect should not be included in the quota.”

“Let’s vote on this opinion,” the Secretary-General said.

After weighing the interests, this opinion was passed. After all, only signed documents are useful. If the conditions are too harsh, members will also refuse to sign.

“I announce that the “New Moon Agreement” will come into effect on the first day of next month, that is, 15 days later. All member states are requested to sign the agreement and strictly fulfill the requirements of the agreement…Develop the moon in accordance with international agreements while protecting the lunar ecological environment.” The Secretary-General announced the results.

Most of the representatives present signed the “New Moon Agreement”, which will officially enter into force 15 days later.

“Fifteen days, we have fifteen days!” National Space Agency A, everyone has been paying attention to the information of the “New Moon Agreement”. When the agreement was signed, they already knew what to do.

“Some people want to use the “Moon Agreement” to limit the number of scientific research stations we have on the moon, but this time, they are going to miscalculate!” Cao Liang smiled, “We were prepared!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“It’s time for our lunar infrastructure team to be dispatched!” Du Xingyu proudly said, “These days, the personnel and equipment are all complete!”

They have been sending people and supplies to the moon, especially the life capsules manufactured by Du Xingyu. A life capsule, fixed on the surface of the moon, plus a radiation shield, is a small base!

According to the current definition of the lunar scientific research station in the “Moon Agreement”, as long as the life capsule is fixed and astronauts are stationed there, it belongs to their lunar “scientific research station”, and the resources near the scientific research station are under their jurisdiction. And control!

This is actually a killer move, even if other countries learn about them right away, there is nothing they can do about it.

The life capsule can be developed and manufactured in the United States, Europe, Russia, India and island countries. Why only country A can use it? It’s because, except for country A, other countries are currently unable to send these qualities to the moon in a short time!

They don’t have nuclear-powered rockets or lunar spacecraft, let alone supplies, and now they can safely send astronauts to the moon, they have to celebrate!

“Contact the Guanghan Palace base immediately!” Cao Liang said, “Fifteen days, before the “New Moon Agreement” takes effect, I will let our scientific research stations bloom everywhere!”

“Everyone, it’s started!” Du Xingyu shouted into the communicator. On the moon, the astronauts of Country A, ready to go, began to move.

They drove the lunar rover and dragged the life capsule to the well-explored location, where they built a simple base.

Soon, various scientific research stations will appear here.

“Hahaha, in accordance with the “New Moon Agreement”, the initiative of lunar development has returned to our hands!” U.S., Lunar Development Office, senior officials are celebrating.

“I thought that the representatives of country A would not sign this agreement. I didn’t expect them to sign so soon. It was unexpected.” One person laughed, “Now we can hold them and grab most of the resources on the moon before them. !”

“Why are they so easy to agree this time?” Some people were puzzled, “Obviously they are more people on the moon than us now, shouldn’t…”

They were discussing, and suddenly a subordinate reported the situation and said: “Sir, satellite monitoring has detected a major operation on the moon base of Country A!”

“What’s the situation?” They immediately tuned in the satellite image to watch. Near the moon base of country A, several teams of country A astronauts, with their supplies, drove the lunar rover, and walked in different directions.

“Have they sent so many people to the moon?”

“What are they trying to do? Haven’t they been digging holes before?”

“They want to…not good, I understand!” one of them said eagerly, “They must want to establish more scientific research bases on the moon before the “New Moon Agreement” takes effect, so that they can gain more More lunar resources!”

“In this way, the “New Moon Agreement” not only cannot restrict their development on the moon, but it will also become a tool for them to obtain lunar resources! We have been tricked, they are too treacherous!”

As soon as his voice fell, everyone changed their faces. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was possible!

“Damn, they have been confusing us for the past two months, deliberately staying at the base and not going out! It turned out to be waiting for now!”

“The matter is not that serious. In just fifteen days, they can build at most one or two ‘cave dwellings’.” Someone said calmly, “They can build, so can we!”

“What if they have other means?”

“There are only fifteen days left, we are too late to send people to the moon now! And the “New Moon Agreement” has just been signed, and it is impossible to amend it! They have already figured it out a long time ago and will not give up lunar resources!” Lunar Development The senior staff in the office are aware of the seriousness of the problem, but they are helpless with the other party’s behavior.

They know very well in their hearts that they can be dissatisfied with the other party’s behavior on the moon and refuse to recognize this kind of scientific research station.

But these are of no use. The reason behind the establishment of so many scientific research stations by the National Space Administration of China is that their power to transport materials and personnel to the moon is stronger than that of other countries.

Even if those paper agreements are not needed, 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 the National Space Administration of A.
