Chapter 1034 Guanghan City

Downstairs of the Future Ren Building, media broadcasting cars from all over the world gathered. The first floor press conference was crowded with people. Journalists with different skin colors entered the venue early and sat in their seats under the guidance of the staff. The photographer set up long guns and cannons in the back row, and arranged in a row in a row. All the shots were focused on the podium directly in front of the venue, waiting for the right start of the press conference.

They didn't wait long. As soon as the hour hand passed nine o'clock, a soft light lit up from the back of the podium. Jiang Chen, wearing a black suit, walked to the podium, picked up the microphone calmly, smiled slightly in front of the audience's camera, and spoke.

"Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to attend the press conference of Star Ring Trade. On behalf of the Star Ring Trade Board, I would like to welcome you."

"About the content of this press conference, I think you have learned a little about it from the materials in your hands. According to our discussion with the New China Space Administration, from now on, the New China Moon Colony will be officially renamed Guanghan City, and from now on, it will exist as the New China Autonomous Municipality like Penglai City. The New China has the right to rule over Penglai City, and Star Ring Trade enjoys urban autonomy as a New China Enterprise."

As soon as these words came out, a voice of discussion came from the audience. Although these journalists from all over the world had learned from the materials in their hands that the Star Ring Trade had changed the name of the moon colony, the materials did not mention the issue that the new country would enjoy the power of Penglai City!

Swearing lordship on the lunar territory? What a joke!

Many reporters, especially Western journalists, couldn't help but raise their hands high. However, Jiang Chen just glanced at them, then raised his hand, and signaled those reporters who couldn't wait to ask questions to be calm.

It’s not yet time to speak, so I’ll hold on to it first if I have any questions.

"At 2 a.m. last night, the Seagull transport ship carrying 500 immigrants arrived on the moon. At this point, the population of Guanghan City exceeded 1,000. Considering that the living and production equipment has been fully developed, from tomorrow, Xinghuan City will open flights to Guanghan City, which will be open to all citizens of the new country and foreign tourists holding passports!"

The venue was quite quiet, and the reporters who had been anxious to ask questions were staring blankly in the direction of the podium. It took ten seconds to digest the explosive news. I don’t know who started to start, and the applause rang out sparsely, and soon turned into a thunderous thunder that resounded throughout the venue.

Those netizens who sat in front of the computer and watched the live broadcast of the press conference on the official website of Star Ring Trade had already cheered, typing on the keyboard quickly, venting their excitement through the barrage.

【Holding grass, there is nothing to do with the bunker,】

[It's ashamed that our manned moon landing is still in the research stage, and others have already built buildings on the moon. Maybe when we go up ourselves, other people's playgrounds and cinemas will be built.]

[Silly, I'm just studying it. If you go on a plane ticket and a boat ticket, you still need to study it. I can do it. If you want me, all those who do aerospace industry should be laid off. The savings are better than building more schools and supporting poor mountainous areas.]

[The innocent people who engage in aerospace are shot... It's not that we are not good at it, but that others are too awesome. What can you do? But then again, it's all a family anyway, and even the name of the city is Guanghan City. Maybe the next city will be called Wanhu, which can fulfill the dream of the ancestors.]

[I don't care about anything else. Does this mean you can travel to the moon? The tourist visa has been completed. Are there any big guys who know, the little girl is waiting online, it's very urgent...]

Hot discussions on the Internet are heating up, while the press conference is still continuing.

After briefly overviewing the content, the reporter asked questions. The reporter sitting in the audience couldn't wait to raise his hands. At this moment, he finally arrived at their home court and immediately showed off his unique skills and asked questions as much as he was tricky.

"Your side stated in the press conference just now that the new country will have the power of Guanghan City. What I want to ask is, I wonder if you have ever known about the United Nations "External Space Treaty" signed in 1967. Article 2 of the treaty clearly stipulates: 'External space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, cannot be used as the power. The sovereign state declares possession, or possesses for use and other purposes'." A reporter from Colombia TV raised a sharp question as soon as he handed out the microphone.

Jiang Chen saw a questioning look similar to the reporter's eyes from the front row of the venue. It was obvious that the reporters present almost questioned the legitimacy of the previous speech that was similar to the sovereignty statement of Star Ring Trade.

Smiling slightly, Jiang Chen straightened the microphone and answered the question from a reporter from Columbia TV.

"The Treaty on Outer Space was signed half a century ago. Until one and a half years ago, in the past half century, only twelve people were successfully sent to the moon... Yes, until one and a half years ago. It is obvious that the United Nations Treaty on Outer Space signed in 1967 is no longer applicable to the modern and rapid development of the aerospace industry."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen paused and his voice gradually became louder.

"The technology we have can send more people to the moon, or even other celestial bodies, to expand the territory of human civilization. Why do we still use ancient treaties to imprison our footprints? Do you think we are swearing lordship for things that do not belong to us? Wrong! A big mistake! We are just guaranteeing our legitimate rights and interests and proving that the wealth we create belongs to ourselves. I remember you are Americans, and you have differently declared lordship on the American continent? At least we declared lordship. The object of lordship is a land without a border, while the object of your claim is the land of the Indians."

Jiang Chen spoke with great righteousness, saying that the Columbia TV reporter was speechless.

To be precise, the reporter actually had a lot of things to say, such as "This is completely different", "Indians are also an inseparable part of American society, please do not make speeches that harm American social and national unity", etc. However, according to the press conference, unless in special circumstances, a reporter can only speak once. Jiang Chen has raised his hand and signaled that he can sit down, and he can only hold back his rebuttal words.

The second reporter stood up, a reporter from a TV station in the new country. Naturally, he could not question the sovereignty of his country, and his focus was more on the economic side.

"In my speech just now, I noticed that you mentioned that Star Ring Trade will open Guanghan City to the public. Does this mean that ordinary investors can also participate in the development of lunar resources? If so, Star Ring Trade prefers to cooperate with other companies in which areas."

After listening to the reporter's question, Jiang Chen smiled and replied with a pleasant look.

"Since as a city, Guanghan City naturally has no reason to isolate the world, and we have never intended to monopolize the resources of the entire moon. Like Penglai City's positioning, we welcome every tourist, immigrant, and investor."

"As for the specific areas of cooperation, there are too many. Rare earth resources, tourism, entertainment, metallurgy, and electricity exports, these five industries will serve as the economic pillars of Guanghan City. In addition to the last one involving sensitive technologies that are not convenient for other companies to participate, investors can choose industries they are optimistic about and join our city."

"The premise is to recognize our sovereignty over Guanghan City." (To be continued.)
