Chapter 63 Scientific Research Area

"Since this article is highly controversial, representatives can put forward suggestions for amendments, which will be voted on by member representatives," 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 inspections and cannot engage in resource extraction, commercial activities, etc.

Not all of these recommendations were adopted.

A representative suggested: “Each country’s scientific research bases should be limited and cannot be increased indefinitely. Countries that have not established a scientific research base on the moon have the right to establish a scientific base on the moon... To establish a new scientific research base, relevant declarations must be made. Management agency, qualified after review.”

"This representative's opinion is worth considering. Does anyone have any suggestions for revision?" the secretary-general asked.

“This suggestion is very in line with the international situation and environmental protection.” Countries all agree that this suggestion is more beneficial to countries that do not yet have the ability to go to the moon.

"I announce that this proposal is adopted 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, if countries want to establish scientific research stations on the moon in the future, they must limit the number to a certain number and must obtain approval from international organizations. Moreover, countries are not allowed to damage the lunar environment during "scientific expeditions", and big countries must help small countries develop aerospace technology, etc.

In short, it will be very troublesome to build a new lunar base in the future. You don't need to think about it to know that there must be various restrictions.

The representative of Country A proposed some regulations: "Your Excellency Secretary-General, I must make one point. Before the agreement came into effect, we already had a scientific research base on the moon, and we have spent decades of efforts and huge costs for this! Therefore, I propose that lunar scientific research bases established before the agreement takes effect should not be counted in the quota."

"Let's vote on this opinion." the secretary-general said.

After weighing the interests, this opinion was 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 officially enter into force on the 1st of next month, that is, fifteen days later. All member states are requested to sign the agreement and strictly implement the requirements of the agreement... develop the moon in accordance with international agreements, and at the same time protect the lunar ecological environment." The Secretary-General announces the results.

Most of the representatives present signed the "New Moon Agreement", and it will officially enter into force fifteen days later.

"Fifteen days, we have fifteen days!" Everyone at the Space Administration of Country A has been paying attention to the information about the "New Moon Agreement." When the agreement is signed, they already know 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 said with a smile, "We have been prepared!"

"It's time to dispatch our lunar infrastructure team!" Du Xingyu said proudly, "These days, the personnel and equipment are complete!"

They have been sending people and supplies to the moon, especially the life capsules that were rushed to be manufactured, and Du Xingyu modified them. A life capsule, fixed on the surface of the moon, with a radiation-proof cover, becomes 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 one-shot kill, and even if other countries learn about it immediately, there is nothing they can do about it.

Things like life capsules can be developed and manufactured in the United States, Europe, Russia, even India and island countries. Why only country A can use it is because other than country A, other countries currently do not have the ability to send these masses to the moon in a short time!

They don't have nuclear-powered rockets or lunar spaceships, let alone supplies. Now that they can safely send astronauts to the moon, they have to celebrate!

"Contact Guanghan Palace Base immediately!" Cao Liang said, "In fifteen days, before the "New Moon Agreement" takes effect, I want our scientific research stations to bloom everywhere!"

"Everyone, work has started!" Du Xingyu shouted into the communicator. On the moon, the astronauts of Country A, who were ready to go, began to take action.

They drove the lunar rover and dragged the life capsule to the location that had been explored long ago, and built a simple base there.

Soon, various scientific research stations will appear here.

"Hahaha, according to the "New Moon Agreement", the initiative in lunar development has returned to our hands!" Senior officials of the Lunar Development Affairs Office in the United States are celebrating.

"I thought the representatives of country A would not sign this agreement, but I didn't expect them to sign it so quickly. It was really unexpected." One person laughed, "Now we can hold them back and occupy most of the moon's resources before they do. !”

"Why did they agree so easily this time?" Some people were confused, "There are obviously more people on the moon than us now, so they shouldn't..."

While they were discussing, a subordinate suddenly reported the situation and said: "Sir, satellite monitoring has detected major operations at Country A's lunar base!"

"What's going on?" They immediately called up satellite footage to watch. Near Country A's lunar base, several teams of Country A's astronauts were carrying supplies and driving lunar rovers in different directions.

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

"What do they want to do? Weren't they digging holes in the ground before?"

"They want to... No, I understand!" one of them said urgently, "They definitely want to establish more scientific research bases on the moon before the "New Moon Agreement" takes effect, so that they can obtain more Lots of lunar resources!”

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

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is possible!

"Damn it, they have been confusing us for the past two months and deliberately stayed at the base without leaving! It turns out they were just waiting for now!"

"The matter is not that serious yet. In just fifteen days, they can build one or two 'cave dwellings' at most." Someone said calmly, "If they can build it, so can we!"

"What if they have other means?"

"There are only fifteen days left. It's too late for us to send people to the moon now! Moreover, the "New Moon Agreement" has just been signed, and it is impossible to modify it! They have already thought about it and will not give up lunar resources!" Moon development The senior officials in the office were aware of the seriousness of the problem, but they were helpless about the other party's behavior.

They know very well that they can be dissatisfied with the other party's behavior on the moon and refuse to recognize this scientific research station.

But these are of no use. The reason why the space agency of country A can establish so many scientific research stations is that their ability to transport materials and personnel to the moon is stronger than that of other countries.

Even if there is no need for those agreements on paper, 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 space agency of country A.

Thanks to the helmsman "Feng" for the reward!

Thanks for letting me stay by your side until the end of the sea, God and the devil are the same person, Taozi who loves rice, and the reward of 20~50.
