Chapter 572: Do You Want to Negotiate Terms?
Thinking of this, Xu You replied to the staff member:
"If it's something related to space, Commander Johnson can talk to the leaders of the space agency, and he doesn't have to discuss it with me, a non-staff member. I am just responsible for some research work as a professor at Jijing University."
Xu You knew that Johnson came to him at this time most likely to ask him to do some favors for Sam's space agency , most likely related to the manned lunar rocket project.
Xu You certainly would not really help Sam's space agency to complete the manned moon landing again, so naturally he did not want to talk to Johnson again.
But the staff did not immediately agree to Xu You's reply and continued:
"Professor Xu, Commander Johnson said that he wants to tell you some secrets about the moon this time, and you must answer his call in person. These secrets are very important, and I believe you will not miss them."
After hearing what the staff said, Xu You suddenly changed his mind.
Xu You has always known that many secrets of SAM Space Agency regarding the Apollo project have never been made public.
And these secrets cannot all be deduced by Xu You through his ability to fill in the gaps in information with his brain.
Johnson's initiative to extend an olive branch suddenly made Xu You interested in talking with Johnson.
However, Xu You immediately thought that since Johnson could take the initiative to provide some valuable information, he would definitely not do it without asking for anything in return.
"It should be related to the aerospace fighter. "
Xu You quickly figured out the reason why Sam Space Agency paid attention to it.
Once the aerospace fighter project enters the research stage, no matter how we express it to the outside world, we have no intention of actively using these weapons. Everything is just for defense.
But in Sam's eyes, this may not be the case.
After all, they have been relying on their strong power to carry out various hegemonic behaviors.
It is not difficult to understand why they feel this way.
Xu You quickly came up with a basic response, which was that during the dialogue with Johnson, he would absolutely adhere to his bottom line and not make any concessions.
Xu You has become less and less interested in SAM Space Agency. Even if he can no longer get any useful information from SAM Space Agency, Xu You will not have any regrets.
There are three Golden Rabbit-1 lunar rovers carrying out missions on the moon. Our level of exploration of the moon is already unique. It is only a matter of time before we discover the hidden secrets on the moon.
However, since Johnson has taken the initiative to propose these conditions, Xu You is still willing to see what secrets Johnson will tell him this time.
Led by the staff, Xu You came to the liaison office of the Academy of Aerospace.
Xu You picked up the phone. Johnson on the other end of the phone had been waiting for a long time and immediately greeted Xu You.
"Professor Xu You, it's a pleasure to have a conversation with you again!"
Xu Youxin said that he really wanted to tell Johnson not to be happy too soon.
Of course, Xu You was talking to the commander of Sam Space Agency after all, so he had to give him some face.
"Commander Johnson, I am also very happy to talk to you again. In fact, I don't have any official position in our National Space Administration. I just help with some research part-time. I don't know what Commander Johnson wants to say. Please explain it to me in person."
"No, Professor Xu You, you are too modest. We all know that you are the core figure in the scientific and technological research and development of your country. I believe that Professor Xu You must also play an important role in the aerospace fighter project, right?"
Xu You thought to himself that he had guessed right just now.
The reason why Johnson insisted on talking to him was that he wanted to ask about things related to aerospace fighters.
But Xu You would naturally not tell these things easily to the people at Sam Space Agency.
"Commander Johnson, regardless of whether I know these things, even if I do know them, there is no need for me to tell you the truth, right?"
As always, Xu You maintained a very tough attitude and did not directly answer Johnson's question.
"Of course, Professor Xu You, you have the right to decide whether to answer my questions. But Professor Xu You, if you are willing to answer my questions directly, I can tell you some secrets about the moon."
"Commander Johnson, if you are negotiating with us on behalf of SAM Space Agency, then there is no need. We can fully conduct the exploration of the moon on our own."
Xu You did not waver just because Johnson offered some tempting conditions.
This is not because Xu You has no interest in what Johnson said, but because such a tough attitude must be shown.
Johnson was obviously affected by Xu You's attitude and said quickly:
"Professor Xu You, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not here to negotiate terms with you. Please listen to what I have to say next before making a decision."
Xu You didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for Johnson to reveal some secret.
"Professor Xu You, according to the information we have at SAM Space Agency, there are probably some hollow parts inside the moon. We don't have any conclusive evidence for this, but there is a lot of information that points to this possibility."
Hearing Johnson's words, Xu You's heart was indeed touched.
Because this inference coincides with Xu You’s previous conjecture.
"Commander Johnson, may I ask Sam why the space agency made such a speculation?"
"It's like this. When the Apollo program landed on the moon, we installed a vibrometer on the moon to test the aftermath of the moon's shock. In the next moon landing, we deliberately raised the landing altitude of the spacecraft to test the moon's shock data. The results of the subsequent tests surprised us all."
Even Xu You didn't know what Johnson was talking about, which made Xu You frown.
"According to our initial prediction, this landing experiment might cause the moon to vibrate within half an hour. But according to the final test results, this landing experiment actually caused the moon to vibrate for more than three hours."
After hearing what Johnson said, Xu You also understood what conclusions this experiment could draw.
This result is only possible if there is a large cavity inside the moon.
Similar situations have indeed been discovered during our recent exploration of the moon.
However, if these were the only secrets, they would not arouse Xu You's interest.
