Chapter 1364 [The whole network was stunned]

Even if America wants to follow suit, it will be useless because this is not something that can be accomplished by a nuclear-powered printing press. No matter how many dollars are printed, it will be useless. This requires real industrial and technical capabilities.

The industrial capacity of the Eastern superpower is now the largest in human history, even greater than that of old Mexico, the Soviet Union, and Germany combined.

If you want to go into space, you need to rely on your internal strength. If you don't have the industrial capacity or the scale, you can only rely on Hollywood special effects.

The old magnesium industry is now hollowed out, and it can't even rebuild the F-22. The technological inheritance has been cut off before even a generation has passed, and this kind of large-scale work is even more impossible to accomplish.

Fang Hong was thinking that as the "planetary defense" plan progressed, there was one thing he had to do as soon as possible, and that was to find traces of human beings landing on the moon last century. It didn't matter whether they were true or false, as long as they could break through the defense.

If no traces of human activities on the moon are found, it will be the biggest joke of the century. If there are indeed traces of human activities on the moon, it will be a hellish joke. People were able to go there last century but cannot go there today. It is not just a joke. It is equivalent to letting the whole world see how weak you are now. No one will be afraid of you anymore.

It is obvious that Fang Hong's move is to expose the "myth" of Lao Mei at all levels and kick Lao Mei off the altar, so that everyone will no longer be afraid of Lao Mei, the paper tiger, and will be more daring to confront Lao Mei.

According to Lao Mei, if they want to break this situation, they must go to the moon again before the people from the Eastern Power, and they must send people there. However, if they do this, they will undoubtedly be brought into the rhythm of the Eastern Power.

More than a decade ago, news reports said that countries around the world were focusing on lunar exploration as a priority for their aerospace development. The Japanese government also planned to build a base on the moon in 2, with robots as lunar pioneers; India planned to launch the first unmanned lunar spacecraft in 25; and the United States set the time for another lunar landing in 2008, no later than 2015, and to build a multinational space hub on the moon.

It is now the second half of 2018. Looking back over the past decade, we can see that only the Eastern superpower is taking things seriously, while other countries are just bragging.

Regarding this "planetary defense" plan, public opinion at the grassroots level should exaggerate it as a commanding position over the earth and describe it from the perspective of future advanced wars.

But the official description certainly cannot be like this, as that would scare many people. Instead, it should be interpreted from the perspective of the grand pattern of a community with a shared future for mankind. The "planetary defense" plan launched by the Eastern superpower is a space defense plan formulated to target the potential threats of impact incidents from extraterrestrial asteroids and other celestial bodies.

This is clearly the responsibility, vision and magnanimity of a major country.

Although the probability of an asteroid hitting the Earth and posing a threat is extremely small, once it happens it would be catastrophic. If an asteroid of the size of 6500 kilometers hit the Earth like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 10 million years ago, the consequences would be devastating.

We need to prepare for this matter in advance and take precautions, so it is reasonable to develop this "planetary defense" plan.

By establishing a base on the moon and building an unmanned smart factory supported by artificial intelligence, we can directly use the resources on the moon to build a space mother port in the lunar orbit. The escape velocity of the moon is only 2.3 kilometers per second, and the cost is much lower than that of the earth.

As the saying goes, all things are difficult at the beginning. The initial investment cost is high, accounting for more than 80%. But as long as this critical value is passed and the first lunar smart factory is successfully built and put into operation, things will only go more smoothly in the future, the scale will become larger and the cost will become lower.

In this matter, Fang Hong was not simply trying to "paint a rosy picture" for Lao Mei. This was just a side effect. In fact, he was planning to do this for real.

……

The time has come to the end of the month.

Fang Hong logged into his personal Weibo account, which he had not accessed for a long time, edited a paragraph and updated it:

【Our country's Manufacturing 2025 plan has been completed by nearly 1.7%, and some areas have exceeded the target! Beidou Phase III is about to be deployed; the StarNet satellite cluster has deployed more than 50 satellites; the shipbuilding industry ranks first in the world in terms of backlog orders and new orders; the total mileage of subways accounts for 60% of the world; wind turbines account for 85% of the world; photovoltaics account for 50% of the world, and the power generation is the world's first, four times higher than that of Argentina; vegetable production accounts for % of the world; the domestic semiconductor industry has reached the world's top level, and there is no gap from now on...

There are still seven years and four months until the end of the 2025 plan, so there is a lot of room for improvement. It seems that some long-planned plans can also be accelerated. 】

When Fang Hong posted this Weibo, it immediately attracted strong attention from netizens all over the Internet. Especially when everyone saw the last sentence of this Weibo, they were even more excited. This is going to be a big one. Moreover, God K is the absolute soul of the group of stars, and the group of stars’ work is obvious to all.

For a moment, everyone was extremely curious about what plan the stars were brewing.

……

A week later, it was Monday, August 8th.

Around 10 o'clock this morning, a piece of latest super-big news directly caused the entire network to explode. The Yangshi News Platform used a large amount of space to report on a major new space program led by the Star Group - Planetary Defense.

This is a century-long plan, and the entities involved in the plan are extremely luxurious. There are more than 300 heavyweight enterprises and institutions such as Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, two aerospace giants, Jiutian Star Network, Matrix Quantum, and Bionic Power, covering more than 20 major industries and more than 800 sub-sectors.

The companies on the list are either giants or top in the industry. They can be regarded as a super group with the highest industrial capabilities and technological levels in the Eastern superpower. They are also thorns in the eyes of America.

According to news reports, the "Planetary Defense" program initiated and launched by the Star Group is aimed at preventing threats from outside the earth.

"Targeting threats outside the Earth? What the hell? Are we going to fight aliens?" A spectator who was watching the news report on Yangshi stared blankly at the screen, but soon realized: "Oh, it's targeting an asteroid hitting the Earth. I was shocked. If you didn't know, you might have thought that the Trisolarans were attacking, haha..."

At this moment, a picture of the Earth-Moon orbital system was shown on the news screen, with the orbits of countless asteroids drawn on it. The orbits of large and small extraterrestrial asteroids almost densely enveloped the Earth-Moon system.

This is not a fictitious photoshopped image. It is a collection of actual asteroid bodies discovered and calculated by the astronomical community over the years.

The netizen who was watching the news report said to himself: "Planetary Defense Plan, but why does it look so familiar?"

The next moment, he immediately thought of another plan, which was the "Star Wars" plan that America had planned in the last century, which had screwed Lao Su over badly. He looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and when he watched the news again, he said happily, "Wow! This moment is exactly like that moment, so similar, so similar, so similar, so similar, hahaha."

The announcement of the planetary defense plan to the public caused a huge uproar, and the entire network was stunned. It easily became a hot topic on the Internet.

Almost every netizen who saw the name of the "Planet Defense" plan thought of the "Star Wars" plan that America played in the last century. It is really hard not to connect the two together.
