    The development of the lunar base is better than Li Zhe expected. In just one and a half years, the first phase of material resource collection and building construction was completed ahead of schedule, and the construction of the second phase of the project is about to begin. However, this one requires  The construction progress is much faster than the other two bases launched by the United States and the European Union at the same time on the moon. It greatly exceeded Li Zhe's estimate and made Li Zhe have higher hopes for the progress of various projects in the ASEAN space hegemony plan.

    With the development of the times, even if the competition between countries is only one step behind, it will be difficult to have another chance in the future.

    Americans and Europeans would never have imagined that ASEAN would make such great progress and develop to such an extent in just a few decades by investing in cutting-edge technologies such as space technology. Now, even if they want to rise up,  If we pursue him directly, I'm afraid it's already too late.

    ASEAN's first-mover advantage in the space development plan, coupled with Li Zhe's own logistics and transportation advantages, is enough to make ASEAN's space hegemony plan progress more quickly and smoothly, leaving Europe and the United States more and more behind.  Until they realize there will never be another chance.

    This is different from what happened more than ten or twenty years ago, when the young and radical ASEAN Committee suddenly announced internationally that it would invest huge sums of money in space research and development programs. The international community scoffed and thought that ASEAN was a waste of people and money.  Completely different again.  Decades later, when ASEAN's early advantages gradually transform into a mighty international trend, it will be too late for some people to regret it.

    Of course, this is inseparable from Li Zhe¡¯s cheating ability.

    Because no one would have imagined that the development of ASEAN would be the result of the intelligence brought together by all the elites from three time and space.  In the early days, although Li Zhe did not apply his main space-time transportation ability to this.  But just an occasional space-time transport is enough to make the entire space program achieve extraordinary progress that ordinary people cannot imagine.

    We must know that the cost of transporting one ton of materials from the earth to space or the moon is an astronomical figure, not to mention the tens of thousands of tons of materials required to build a space station or space base.  Space development.  Transportation has always been the biggest bottleneck faced by humans on earth at this stage, until now.  The most efficient spaceship can only transport hundreds of tons of supplies at a time, but for Li Zhe, it is just a blink of an eye and a wave of his hand.

    It was precisely because of Li Zhe that the initial construction of the space base went through the most difficult period. Everyone in the base was a member of the expeditionary force, and most of the supplies were obtained through Li Zhe's time and space transportation.  This can be said to have played a decisive role in getting the space hegemony plan through the difficult initial stage.  The cost saved by ASEAN on space transportation alone can reach trillions of dollars, and the construction of the space station has much more abundant material support than usual, so the progress is naturally incredibly fast.

    As for the result, the scientific research base on the moon is of course not just a simple scientific research and production function. In fact, its more important role should be reflected in the overall military, political and economic strategy.  The most valuable minerals on the moon are actually not those rare elements that are more abundant than those on the earth, but helium 3, which has much better reserves and mining difficulty conditions on the moon than on the earth.

    This kind of thing is the most urgently needed mineral in earth's nuclear fusion technology. It is also the most important material for future controllable nuclear fusion energy technology. It has decisive military significance.

    Controlled nuclear fission technology has matured.  Today, the research on controllable nuclear fission technology is about to make a revolutionary breakthrough. The development of helium-3 element on the moon is directly related to the commanding heights of the future energy competition among the powerful countries on the earth. This is the establishment of the world's countries competing on the moon.  One of the most important and fundamental reasons for scientific research and development bases.

    In addition to this, the most important thing is the important military strategic significance of the lunar base.

    The moon is about 300,000 kilometers away from the earth.  If the development of military science and technology of the earth fifty years ago was followed, the moon would indeed have no practical significance to the earth.

    But now, with new technologies and new military technologies emerging one after another.  Material science, electronic communications, and aerospace technology have all advanced by leaps and bounds, and military weapons have made extraordinary progress.  The moon has shown a completely different strategic value than before.

    The geological structure of the moon's surface is extremely stable and directly bears the radiation of the sun.  There is no interference from the atmosphere's absorption, scattering and refraction of light and radio waves, no dust pollution, no magnetic field, and no interference from artificial light sources and radio waves on the back of the moon. The earthquakes are very small, and the natural observation conditions and electromagnetic conditions are excellent.

    With the earth¡¯s current technology, it is enough to build a super military base on the moon and turn it into an ideal ship for the earth.?? class space carrier.  Relying on the superior natural conditions of the moon, placing some high-power space weapons here, such as ultra-high-power electromagnetic guns and ultra-large-scale electromagnetic strike weapons that attack satellite communications, is enough to form a strategic advantage that overwhelms the entire earth. From this, even  Can directly and accurately strike any location on the earth.

    No matter how advanced their maneuverability is, the thousands of artificial satellites flying in the earth's orbit cannot compete with the super-large space weapons deployed on the moon, and they can only wait to be killed.  These satellites are the fulcrum of the most advanced military intelligence network that supports the core of the military strike capabilities of all countries on earth.

    Without these satellites, the so-called missile precision strike, the so-called automatic navigation, and the so-called drone tactics are all out of the question. Once these satellites are destroyed, the military capabilities and social economy of all countries on the earth will be knocked back to what they were before in an instant.  With the level of science and technology a hundred years ago, and the current level of dependence of the earth on the global network, whoever controls space is actually equivalent to kidnapping all human beings on the earth.  This is the most critical factor that makes space wars deadly at this stage.

    To a certain extent, whoever occupies the moon and is the first to deploy space suppression forces on the moon actually controls the commanding heights of the earth's military and politics in the future, and at the same time becomes the new overlord of the earth.

    In modern war, it is impossible for countries to reach the kind of large-scale war between countries during the First and Second World Wars. National mobilization is the final stage of life or death. With the nuclear technology in the hands of today's countries, at least there are  Seven or eight countries have the ability to destroy the earth's ecosystem and destroy all mankind.  Countries engaging in large-scale mobilization wars are wary of each other, and no one dares to act rashly.

    In this case, what countries are competing for is soft power: economic strength, political capabilities, and a comprehensive competition of high-end deterrence capabilities in high-tech military technology and the instant strike capabilities of the country's elite troops.

    With the absolute deterrence and strike capabilities of space, as well as the absolute economic advantage, with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, this is the best way for the expeditionary force to achieve the goal of this space-time hegemony strategy.

    And the other details are just the icing on the cake of this backbone plan.

    Of course, getting to this point is still just the beginning for ASEAN, and the process is still long.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
