525: Chapter 406 Space Developnt Plan 525: Chapter 406 Space Developnt Plan Researchers like Richard are typically motivated by a few things.
Prestige, wealth, or pure hobby, even a dedication that transcends the individual.
According to the intelligence Zhang Xiaoman had gathered, Richard fell into the third category.
His passion for his field of work had reached an obsessive level; the space research itself was his spiritual pursuit.
Initially, Zhang Xiaoman had made so other preparations, but just as she was getting started, the other party was already on board, and things were progressing more smoothly than she had anticipated.
“Mr.
Cromwell, on behalf of the company, I welco you aboard,” she said.
Zhang Xiaoman stood up and shook hands with the other party, achieving her goal for the day, and leaving the rest to be handled without her involvent.
“Haha, Richard, it seems we’ll be colleagues again,” Sun Mingsheng also ca over and gave him a hug.
At this point, Richard hesitated before speaking:
“Well, boss, although I haven’t formally joined yet…
I’m really curious, what does it feel like to set foot on the Moon?
Could you tell about it?”
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a mont and said, “It’s incredibly beautiful there; you can see the entire cosmos without obstruction.
Moreover, there are so things on it that you could never imagine…”
As he said these words, what unconsciously ca to his mind were the strange plants he had seen on the far side of the Moon.
He, too, was desperately curious about these things.
“For now, we are in great need of experts and scholars like you.
Regarding the exploration of the Moon, and even outer space, we are just at the beginning stages.
But rest assured, as long as you officially join us, you will also set foot on that land,” he assured.
Upon hearing his words, Richard was overjoyed and imdiately leaned in to start speaking enthusiastically.
Zhang Xiaoman had initially planned to leave, since he had many things to attend to and didn’t have ti to waste here.
However, as he listened to what Richard was saying, he gradually beca engrossed.
Richard was discussing the developnt of resources on the Moon, and the matter was much more complex than he had initially imagined.
He was now grateful that he hadn’t rashly brought materials back from the Moon.
According to Richard, while theoretically there is no life on the Moon,
human knowledge of space is far too limited to be certain that there isn’t sothing unexpected there.
Take the water bear, a well-known survival expert that can live in space.
Although their way of surviving is a bit tricky, involving dehydration and entering a state of suspended animation,
once they return to a suitable environnt and encounter water, they co back to life and can engage in reproductive activities, producing offspring.
Besides being Water Blue Star’s satellite, the Moon also acts as a bodyguard, shielding Water Blue Star from many impacts over the years.
Innurable teorites have been blocked by the Moon.
After entering Water Blue Star’s orbit, these teorites due to gravitational forces orbit around Water Blue Star and spiral towards it rather than colliding directly.
That’s when the Moon cos in, attracting the teorites with its gravity to help the big brother block the impacts, acting as an exemplary little brother.
But for those teorites that fall on the Moon, we cannot be certain that they do not contain so unknown life.
Although theoretically, life cannot survive in a vacuum for long, there’s no ruling out the possibility of creatures similar to water bears that are particularly adept at enduring harsh conditions.
Then, if the material from the Moon were brought directly back to Water Blue Star, it could create quite the situation.
It’s known that even so viruses within Water Blue Star that haven’t been discovered can cause considerable trouble for humans.
If these completely unknown spaceborne organisms were to spread, the consequences would be disastrous; we might even face a biohazard scenario.
Unlike alien species invading our universe, Zhang Xiaoman himself had boasted to Xiao Shun and the others that these creatures cannot bring plagues.
Therefore, the invasions of alien species, and even the Great Fusion, did not cause destruction through viruses.
But these creatures from our own universe are different; he couldn’t be sure whether Water Blue Star would suffer an extinction-level catastrophe as a result.
That’s why he hadn’t directly explored the Moon.
He needed true professionals to assist him with developnt; after all, human ability has its limits, and he couldn’t manage everything on his own.
Of course, every situation has its pros and cons.
Although the Moon has many unknown dangers, it also holds vast opportunities.
This aspect is truly fascinating.
At this mont, Richard was passionately outlining the benefits of Moon developnt.
“Boss, I guarantee that if we can successfully harness the Moon’s resources, our company will beco the largest enterprise in the world overnight!
It’s a gold mine up there, and the wealth is almost within reach!”
“Not to ntion anything else, just the lunar soil on the surface has imasurable value.
Arica and North Bear Country made several trips but brought back only a few hundred grams of lunar soil; if we could obtain it at will, it would be unimaginable.”
“This lunar soil not only contains vast cosmic information but also holds imnse wealth, including Helium-3, Titanium Iron Ore, Krippy Rock, all of which are invaluable resources,” he explained.
“To be honest, boss, my recent research project requires so lunar soil, but unfortunately, despite multiple requests to the company, I have never been able to obtain even a gram of it; it’s just too precious,” he lanted.
Richard envisioned the future with glowing enthusiasm.
Without much prompting, he fell into a delightful fantasy, even trying to persuade Zhang Xiaoman to expedite the space developnt plan.
Actually, Zhang Xiaoman knew that this guy wasn’t all that interested in money and wealth; what he sought was the research itself.
And his eagerness to spur Zhang Xiaoman on was simply to get the project started sooner, allowing for his own research to comnce.
“It seems this guy is getting into the role quickly, already thinking about making money…
Mm, he seems a bit impatient, but I like that,” he thought.
