"According to this design, we need at least about 30 people, plus some automation machinery! It takes three years to build it." He Jingcheng said, "In the past two months, we have sent fifteen astronauts who are proficient in engineering and manufacturing, and have also delivered some mechanical equipment and supplies."

The Taiyin has not stopped in the past two months, and it will be started immediately after the maintenance is completed and sent to the moon. Now is an important moment for the moon to grab the territory, and it cannot be wasted a minute.

Three round trips, fifteen Chinese astronauts were sent over. Now, they have built a small cave base on the moon that can be lived in for a year, and have started construction of the moon base.

"Thirty people are still too few. It is best if several engineering teams on the moon should be constructed together." Du Xingyu said, he was more anxious than others.

"Our current living conditions on the moon cannot go to so many people!" Liu Yuan said, "Every astronaut must have a life support system, including air, water, food, energy, etc. Thirty people are the current limit."

"I have a design." Du Xingyu controlled the computer in the conference room and pointed out a few design drawings, which were a small ecological warehouse.

He said: "This kind of ecological warehouse is made from the life space module of the space station, but it is smaller in size and does not have any power system. I call it the 'life capsule'. A life capsule can basically meet the living conditions of two to three astronauts. Under normal operation, it can be maintained for about three years!"

"The life capsule is light in size. It can send five life capsules to the moon in one go with a space plane or nuclear-powered rocket! With this, we can send a large number of people to the moon in a short time to build a lunar base!"

Everyone looked at the design of the Life Capsule carefully. Some of its principles are very similar to the Life Space Module, but they are much simpler than the Life Space Module and the manufacturing cost is not high.

"Yes!" Xiong Ming slapped the table, "This thing is good. As long as we have a large population, we have never been afraid of anyone in terms of infrastructure!"

"Yes! I think this plan is OK!" Cao Liang said, "Now we are competing with the United States and Russia in space. Whoever builds a base earlier will be able to occupy more territory!"

"This matter begins to be implemented immediately, I want to report to the above!"

While China accelerated the construction of a lunar base, other countries also accelerated their pace. The United States launched a lunar spacecraft and left six American astronauts on the moon to build a small lunar base.

The Russians also have four astronauts to be stationed on the moon for more than half a year. The European Space Agency's moon landing date has been determined. Island countries and India are still working hard. Other countries have the ability to research and development. If they are not able, they will come to China or other countries to discuss lunar cooperation projects.

But seeing the rockets and spacecraft of several major countries keep going to the sky, some countries can't sit still! They can't even create rockets. When they have the ability to go to space, the moon will be divided up!

Furthermore, there is also controversy among major countries regarding the development of the moon.

Therefore, some countries called on the world to re-discuss the Lunar Agreement to standardize lunar exploration, resource development and related systems.

This call was agreed upon by all countries, and the United Nations decided to hold a meeting in two months, and countries around the world would jointly formulate a new Moon Agreement.

"In 1979, the United Nations decided to establish the Moon Agreement." In the Space Administration, Cao Liang was holding a meeting with everyone. "It was stipulated at that time that the moon was the common property of all mankind and no country or individual allowed to possess or develop it alone."

"Of course, these words are nonsense. We didn't sign China, and other major countries did not sign. American laws have even allowed American companies to develop the moon."

"Whoever has the ability to develop the moon belongs to whoever has the ability to develop it. Any agreement is nonsense!"

Everyone laughed. International agreements can only restrain small countries. If they are like the world overlord, the United States will never take international agreements seriously.
Chapter completed!
